BATTLE MAY DECIDE CAMPAIGN
 IN MANCHURIA FOR THE PRESENT

Thursdays news from the seat of war closed with the receipt of two dis patches giving information of a most significant character as bearing on the domination of Manohuria at the close Of the present campaign.
 The first came from the Associated Press correspondent at St. Petersburg filed there at 10:16 p. m.. and said that General Kuropatkin had withdrawn his whole army to the north bank of the Taitse River so as to meet General kurokfs fiankinE movement.
 The inference drawn from this was that Liaoyang had been evacuated, that city lying on the left or south bank of the river
 Nothing to confirm this was received until several hours later when a dis patch from the Associated Press cor res ponden; at St. Pefersburg dated September and timed at 1:26 q. m. Friday morning said that the news of the evacuation of Liaoyang and the withdrawal of the Russian army to the right bank of the Taitse River had caused intense excitement

BRYAN STILL REFUSES PLEA.
Declines Offer Of DanfortI to Support
Parker


Parker.
st. Louis, July elliot Danforth,
accompanied by a number of other
New Workers. called upon the Nebras-
ka delegation last night and presented
a formal plea for the support of Judge
Parker
Danforth said that Parker had sup
ported Bryan in both HIS campaigns.
and that he had been the second largest
contributor to the campaign fund N
New York. He also called attention
to his own we'll known friendship for
Bryan, and made personal appeal on
these grounds.
Bryan, who was present responded
to the latter point, saving that If Dan
forth were a candidate he would have
his support.
Last evening Bryan gave out state
ment iii which he declared that Par
ker had made no substantial gains:
that the enthusiasm for him was due
to the belief that he can carry New
York, and with the state the county,
but that this confidence is being
overcome by the protests of the DEM
ocrats of that part of New York which
Is expected to furnish the democratic
votes.
He also said THE Illinois contest,
while it was decided for the Hopkins
ticket. was really victory for the
contestants because it was decided on
the question of jurisdiction, and the
contestants now have be,1ind them the
unanimous support which declares IN
