MEETING
Executive Committees of the
Two (?) Parties in Session
in Reno Saturday

Following Is the Reno Journals ac-
count of the meeting Of Democratic
and Free Silverites" held in Reno
Saturday:
The meetings Of the Democratic aid
Silver Party State Executive Com
mittees were held yesterday in ac-
cordance with calls issued by the re-
spective chairmen. There was Il full
representation in each committee
mostly by personal attendance. there
being but one or two proxies. rhe
committees met at first separately,
but upon motion in the Democratic
committee, the Silver party memb RS
were notified that 1t was the desire
of the Democratic body that the Two
committees should meet in joint coun-
ell and a cordial invitation to that
effect was included in the motion,
which was carried without a diss ant-
ing vote The invitation was accept
ed with equal unanimity and the two
committees came together, G. VI.
Stoddard acting as chairman. and n.
w. Rolf as secretary.
The proceedings were harmonious In
every respect and there was but j
single sentiment expressed in regard
TO the duty of the members of the
Democratic and Silver parties. and
that was that they should continue
TO present a united front in apposi-
ton to the common enemy and the
especial enemy of the state of Ne
vada-the Republican party. There
was some discussion DIS to the time
for calling meetings of the two state
committees and of holding the state
convention or conventions. Governor
Sadler, w. Z. Sharon, J. r. Ryan, B
Campbell, w. r.. Wes.erfleld. Jas. @
Sweeney. c. H Stoddaro. Nate Rolf
j. II. Dennis. and others participated
in the debate. The question was de
cided by unanimous vote by naming
Tuesday, April 18th. as the date. and
Reno as the place for holding the
meetings, the state committees leaving
those bodies to decide the matters OF
calling the state conventions and the
manner of selecting delegates to the
Democratic national convention. The
meeting yesterday was the first OH
cial movement preparatory to the en-
suing campaign, and the harmony ana
good feeling which prevailed through
out the entire proceedings argues well
for the continued unity Of the elements
which have for the last zen years up
held the honor of the commonwealth
py acting in concert with the friends
ef her interests and industries.

WAR DISPATCHES SUMMARIZED

With both armies exhausted by the
long continued and desperate fighting
and roads made impossible ana
streams bankful from recent torrential
rains there has been lull in the
active operations along the Shakhe
river.
The days dispatches say that Tues
day passer quietly and the brief adj
vices bearing on the situation as ex-
listing now indicate that the battle has
not been resumed.
The Russians still hold the impor-
tant position of Lone Tree hill, around
which lighting of the most desperate
character centered, and General SAX
haroff reports that their left flank has
been slightly advanced.
A veil Is drawn over the general sit
uation, but the net result of the tre-
mendous battle seems TO be that
Oyama, while effectually checking the
Russian advance, has been unable to
follow it up with vital blow and has
himself been stayed in his attempts
to materially advance his position.
A dispatch from Mukden says that
the Japanese appear to be slowly fall
ing back. but Sakharoff reports to St.
Petersburg that they are concentrating
at Sinchinpu, west OF the railroad
Kuropatkin is Strengthening his
right and the dispatches indicate that
the battle will be resumed as soon as
the roads dry
