BATTLEsHIPs LOCATED
Five of Them Now in the Harbor at
Port Arthur

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 26.-The czar
has received from Rear Admiral
Prince Ouktomsky telegram bear
ing Port Arthur date, in which, af
ter briefly describing the sortie Of the
Port Arthur squadron on Aug. 10 and
it's engagement with Vice Admiral To-
COS ships, the admiral says:
"At 1880 o'clock, when the Care
witch left the line with damaged
steering gear and signaling Admiral
transfers command" as It had two
masts broken and all means of sig
mailing by day or night damaged on
the Peresviet, I displayed the signal
but I imagine all the ships were not
able to distinguish it. AS my vessel
lost many in killed or wounded, and
as the armament, hull and electric
apparatus were seriously damaged, I
decided to return to Port Arthur. The
ironclads RetviZan, Pobieda, Poltaya,
Sevastopol and Czarevitch accompa-
MED me, the Czarevftch being the last
in line. Ell
I'VE went at an average speed, but
owing to the. darkness and to repeat
ed torpedo attacks, which obliged us
from time to time to change our
course, our vessels dispersed, and at
dawn the Retvizan, Sevastopol Peres-
Wet, Pobieda' and Poltava, with three
torpedoboats, were at Port Arthur.
Our casualties were officers and 3S
men killed and s28 officers and 2S6
| men wounded, SO Of them seriously.
Captain Bolevan, despite serious
| wounds, remained for twenty hours
on the bridge until the battleship
| reached port. The battleships are re-
, pairing their own and Edockyard APP
| planes. In the absence Of Rear Ad-
miral Without I have assumed com
mand of the Port Arthur squadron"

TAGGART TO PLAY
SECOND FIDDLE.
August Belmont Given Authority
to Speak and Act for
Parker.

Washington. Aug. 26.-Word is
brought here that by and with the
consent of Judge Parker, National
Chairman Taggart has been pushed to
the rear and August Belmont given
authority to speak and act Tor the
candidate in the present campaign.
Even William II. Sheehan, chairman
of the executive committee. it is said,
must bow to the Will of the American
agent of the Rothschilds.
Taggart's inactivity and Sheehan's
incompetency in the face of the Nc
Carren- Murphy fight and other diff
culties drove Belmont and his friends
almost to desperation and they de-
cided that something had to be done
at once.
From now on it is promised the
democrats will wage vigorous cam
paign.
Blame for the late start is placed
on the shoulders of Tom Taggart, who
is getting his first peep into national
politics. In Indiana politics he was
Something of a wonder but the
bigger problems of a national cam
paign seem to have stumped him.
While George B. Cortelyou who was
supposed to be q novice at the game
of politics. was installing the republic
an machinery, organizing his forces
and starting the wheels IN mouOn
Taggart devoted his time to visiting
Esopus for advice and eXerting all the
influence he could to have the western
democratic headquarters established at
Indianapolis.
The Indiana man will now have tic
play minor part in the campaign
and if August Belmont can bring II
about Taggart will be sent to In
diana to manage the canvass In that
state.
The report is based upon advices
brought here by democrats familiar
with the inside workings of the demo
cratic national and local organization
in the metropolis.

PRIESTS TRY TO
END MEAT STRIKE
Chicago Mayor and Aldermen
Also Confer With Both Sides
to Strike.

3 Chicago, Aug 2G.-Eight Catholic
iclergymen, led by Rev. Edward KEEL
ly of st. Cecilas church, have held a
conference with President Donnelly,
leader Of the great meat strike. Sew
seral of the clergymen had come from
other cities
E After comforting with Rev. Father
Kelly, they decided to offer their ser
vices toward a settlement OF the
strike. 1t was reported that in every
city great suffering was resulting
from the strike. No word of the out
come of the conference was given out.
HI Union leaders and packers today
conferred with the committee ap-
pointed by the city council to seek
terms of settlement for the stockyards
strike. Separate sessions We're ar
ranged. President Michael Donnelly
of the butcvher WOrkmen, Matthew
Carr Of the Allied Trades conference
board, and Organizer John j.. Fitzpat-
rick of the Chicago Federation of La
Dor, were selected to represent the
unions. President Donnelly was
hopeful.
I'm spite of all that has been said, -
he asserted, 81 believe the packers are
weary of fighting us, and will be will
ing to agree to terms
The packers gathered at the offices
of Nelson, Morris & Co., where a con-
ference on the proposed attempt by
the aldermen to settle the strike was
discussed. The conference was private,
but Alderman Thomas Carey was ad.
mitted and remained for almost an
hour. ......
1T is a game of checkers said
Mayor Harrison at the end Of ar
hours conference with President Don
nellys committee.
THE strikers have not changed
their position" said the moyar. "AnC
the meeting resulted only in the al
dermen being given a full explanation
+of what that position is. Presiden
Donnelly told Of the history of The
original strike, the agreement to re
sumo work and the strikers side O.
the renewal of the strike"
The mayor said he expected anoth
er meeting with the strike leaders af
ter dismissing the packers represen
.tatives. SO long as there appeared
hope of results, he said the meeting
with the contending interests would
he continued.

APATHY IN WEST
TOWARD POLITICS
From Fourteen States Republican
Managers Get Reports of
Placidity.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Aug. 26.-From fourteen
western states the republican man
ayers in charge of western headquar-
ters have received reports. In these
they assert the only feature not en-
tirely encouraging to them is the
''placidity' and apathy of the vot-
ers. The west they say, is waiting to
be walked up and wondering, when it
thinks of politics at all, why some
one does not come along to start
something"
It is admitted by some of the man
ayers that the campaign is month
behind time. In 1900 and In 1895,
unusual conditions brought about ex-
ira activity. This year the work is
behind, in comparison with the two
former political seasons.
For this reason the men who have
investigated conditions in the west
find the people are taking less interest
than they were at the same time four
in the political situation this year
years ago. In other respects it Is as
serted the prospects are in favor OF
the republicans.

RUSSIANS EXAGGERATE
Japs Have Lost 10000, Russians
$4,000, Says Expert.

Special to The Journal.
London, Aug. 26.-According to
most reliable informa ton received
here, the Russian reports of Japan
csc losses at Port Arthur and else
where have been grossly exaggerated.
The Times says:
From the time the land campaign
opened UP to about Aug. Is, the Jap
anese army lost $4,000 killed and
wounded, four men having been
wounded for every man killed. The
Russian losses have not been honestly
admitted, and they: must be calcu-
lated on basis Of the Russian dead
and buried by the Japanese in fifteen
engagements, large and small, all Of
them Russian defeats. The calcula-
ton works out to a Russian loss Of
$4,000 killed and wounded, besides
113 guns and 1S maxims captured by
the enemy. Excluding the Port Ar
thur garrison, we have to deduct 49,
900 men as the casualties of the army
under Kuropatkin's direct and person
al command. Allowing that the whole
of the Seventeenth army corps has
now reached him, he should have
$4,000 men and over four hundred
guns at his disposal"
