BRYAN PLOTS TO

Plans to Control Thru Alleged

Is William Jennings Bryan trim

the democratic national convention in
st. Louis?
This Is question which Is being
discussed in local democratic circles,
and all because Willie of Lincoln, re-
fused to come to the rescue of w. r.
Hearst at the Minnesota democratic
convention.
The Hearst workers realized at the
convention that they were UP against
the real thing in the way of organized
opposition. The convention proved
itself to be strongly a Bryan gather
ing. Bryan's name was cheered when
ever mentioned. So q brilliant Idea
came to w. w. Williams, secretary of
the Minneapolis Hearst club. He
would wire Bryan that the convention
was in tight place for Hearst; that
he would request Bryan to send an
answer indorsing Hearst to be read
before the convention and which
would beyond doubt bring lot of
Bryan delegates over from the antis
to the Hearst side.
Williams sent the telegram to
Bryan. But among the long list Of
messages which never came Is
Bryan's answer. ALI thru the anxious
hours Of that convention was word
from Bryan waited for in vain.
And so it Is that the local democrats
pre- beginning to believe that Willie
of silver fame must again have the
presidential bee in his bonnet.
For why else should he refuse to
Bend message which would have de-
livered Minnesota to the man whose
platform Bryan has indorsed?

Toxic, June 25.-It Is believed here that
the bottled Russian fleet has made a
desperate attempt to escape from Port
Arthur and met With disaster. Togo de-
tected the move and his warships poured
slams.
Togo's victory has resulted In the prac-
tical annIhiation of the Russian fleet at
Port Arthur. This Will release his battIe-
ships and cruisers, and Japan, being mas
ter Of the sea, Will at once bottle up
and destroy the enemy's fleet at Vlad-
ivostok.
This news Is taken by experts as evil
dence that Japan's army Is closing In
rapidly on Port Arthur on the land side
and that the city will fall In a short time.
The dash was desperate attempt on
the part of the Russians to save the re-
mainder of their fleet from capture by the
Japanese.
chl-fu, June 25, II p.m.-There was

and tonight. The booming of big guns was
distinctly heard here tonight. Eighteen

PREACHER. R.ACTOR'S
SUIT FOR MILLIONS
George Milne Seeks Control Of
Estate Of Chicago
Millionaire.

Chicago, June 25.-A remarkable
lawsuit involving the disposition. OF the
s5,000,OOO estate Of the late Thomas
A. Jordan OF the Chicago Board OF
Trade has been begun here. The suit
comes as an entire surprise to the

.Critchton Milne Of London, once pas
tor, Of Unity church in Chicago, and
later a Shakesperean actor, Jointly
with his wife, Louise Jordan Milne,
who is a daughter Of the dead Board
of Trade man.

English barrister, Henry wellington
Wack, have come from London to Chi
cago and, have been making an exam
ination Of court records of the man
agement Of the estate by Mrs. Annie

nificant compared with those to which
she was rightfully entitled.

LOOKS DARK
FOR R. c. DUNN
Caucuses Held Yesterday Show
No Rousing Demand for
Him.
FRIDAYS cAUcUSES

R. G. Dunn Jared poorly in the
primaries held yesterday. He is not
certain Of a single delegate from the
six counties that held primaries.
Mower county, with seventeen dele
gates in the state convention, is solid
for Collins.
Beltrami county, which has nine
delegates, was carried for Collins
about two to one. It is claimed" for
Dunn, just as Benton county was, but
this is on the principle Of claiming
everything, and because the Dunn men
had counted on the county being
safely in their grasp.
Waseca, one Of the main Dunn
strongholds In southern Minnesota, is
in doubt, and one report has it that
the delegation will be divided on the
governorship. The Dunn men claim
ers in the city Of Waseca are that the
city delegates are about evenly di-
Wded, and that the result in the
county, SO far as heard from, Is about
q standoff. Waseca county has twelve
delegates.
Becker county is in doubt. but the
returns SO far favor Collins, and it is
believed that the country precincts
yet to hear from will increase his lead.
OF forty-seven delegates reported, Col
Inns has twenty-six, Dunn twelve, and
nine in doubt.
Otter Tall county is also an un-
known quantity as yet, and reports
are very. conflicting, both Dunn and
Collins claiming the best Of it. The
Dunn men claim twenty out of twen-
ty-four delegates from Fergus Falls.
The Collins men concede them thir-
teen there, and another reports gives
then sixteen to Collins eight. Peli-
can Rapids, Perham and Western
were cvarried for Collins, Battle Lake
| and Bluffton for Dunn. Advices re-
| ceived at Collins headquarters say the
county is safe, but do not give detailed
results.
Roseau county had primaries yes
terday, but nothing has been heard
from them yet. Two sets Of prima-
ries were held and there will be two
sets Of delegates. One convention,
called by the regular committee rec
ognized by the state committee, will
meet at Warroad, and is understood
will elect Eddy delegates. The other
convention, called by the deposed
committee, will elect Dunn delegates
/ and make a contest.
In all, ten counties have held pri-
maries, of which Collins has four
/ and Dunn three, with three in doubt
or contested.
Collins has Jared better in these pri.
maries than his friends had hoped

at the New York city building at the
worlds fair that a prominent New

many, asked David r. Francis to per-
nit his name to go before the demo-

LIS said that this agent was sent to ST..

Parker.
In his conference with President
Francis the New Yorker pointed out
that no candidate would enter 4: the
convention with enough votes to
nominate and that when a deadlock
came, as it seems certain to do, his

vention as a compromise candidate
who could command the enthusiastic
support Of both the east and west.
It Is said Francis consented to allow
his name to go before the convention.

London, June 25.-The Russian

This retreat marks the collapse Of

Kuropatkin was forced to hurry
