OBITUARY..
Mrs. Elizabeth Taggart.

Mrs. Elizabeth Taggart, wife of Col.
G. /. Taggart, died yesterday afternoon
! at 1880 o'clock at her home, No. POS
Jones street, east She had been i'll for
more than a month, and though the
family realized that she could not re-
cover, yet the grief at the close of so
useful and unselfsh a life was keen.
Not only will the immediate family feel
her loss deeply, but her friends and
those to whom she has showed kindness
will learn of her death with sorrow.
Realizing that the end was near, Mrs.
Taggart babe the family an affection
ate and fearful farewell the night be-
fore she died. Shortly after this she
sank into a state of semi consciousness
from which she did not arouse. When
the dread messenger came the spirit of
a good woman was ready to answer
the summons to leave earth for a high
er home, and so quietly did she pass
away that the watchers scarcely knew
the moment.
For many years Mrs. Taggart was a
member of the Presbyterian Church,
having affiliated with the First Pres
byterian Church during her residence
IN this city. She was secretary of the
, Ladies Aid Society and was connected
with every good movement of the
church. She was the founder of Circle
NO. 8, Kings Daughters, of which she
was president at the time of her death.
She was also secretary of the Julian
Mcleod Chapter. She was prominent
in the Day Nursery and Home of Chill
dren, and at a meeting of Circle No.
0, held yesterday afternoon, resolutions
were adopted, expressing their sorrow
at her death.
By her unselfish life she exercised a
power for good. which will live long
after she has passed away. In addition
to her active interest in public chari-
ties, her private beneficence was large.
Many deeds of real charity were known
only to herself and the recipient, and
the manner in which she rendered as
sistance was such as to cause no hui
initiation to those she helped.
Mrs. Taggart was born Aug. 26, 1S4S,
in Tallahassee, Fla, and was the
daughter of James A. e. Kirsey, who
later became a well known cotton mer-
chant of Savannah. She was twice
married. her first husband being James
l.. Johnson. OF this union the follow
ing children survive: James Leonard
Johnson of Tacoma, Wash, and Mrs.
Jennie Painter of Muncy, Pa. Her Sec
ond husband, who survives her, was
Col G. l.. Taggart. OF this union three
children survive: G. i. Taggart, Jr.,
John p. Taggart and Mrs. Deborah
Long of Lynchburg, Va. The entire
family, with the exception of the son
in Washington, have been at their
mothers bedside for several days past.
The funeral services will be held this
afternoon at o'clock at the First
Presbyterian Church, conducted by
Rev. william p. McCorkle. The inter-
ment viii take place at Bonaventure.
The following gentlemen will act as
pallbearers: Charles A. Fleming, c. S.
Wood, jules Mays, j. r. Sheldon, H.

ON THE FIRST BALLOT
TT IS BELIEVED THAT HE WILL BE

over the Action of the Georgia
convention in InstructinG for

Adherents Also Sorry.
Atlanta, Ca, June 2.-The situation
at the Capitol is one of unusual quiet
after the storm of yesterday, in which
several of Georgia's well-known poll
ticians walked easily to victory and
others went down in defeat. The ac-
ton of the state convention is gen.
orally satisfactory, except in certain
circles which fought to the last against
instructions for Parker.
The whole trend of the fight was to
save Congressman ]. NJ Griggs and
nut him in as a delegate at large to
the st. Louis convention, and when
his defeat was apparent it was evil
dent that the other end of the fight
would go with it, and that instruc-
lions would be the order of the day.
Those who fought hardest for instruc-
lions admitted that the compromise
resolutions requesting the delegation
10 vote for Parker, were just as cf-
fective, but they insisted on having the
word instructions used on account
of its effect outside the state.
Outside of these facts everybody is
we'll pleased with the work of the con-
vention, and practically no complaints
have been heard.
According to kilograms received from
the North, the claim is made that
Georgias action will probably result

engage the Japanese now attacking
Port Arthur in their rear.
The Standards correspondent at
Tien Tsin, sending the same news,
says:
The Russian force in the engage
ment at Wafangtien May 80 is sup
posed to have been formed of four
Siberian regiments which were report
ed to have left Tachiachio May 2S,
being the first portion of a relieving
column for Port Arthur. The railroad
is fairly intact from the north of
Wafangtien but is completely destroy
ed from there to Pulantien. The Jap
anese are unconcerned over this dem
onstration, being convinced that 1t will
be impracticable for the Russians to
move a sufficient force to prove eff
fective."
These reports are received with a GER
tain measure of skepticism in London.
The belief here is that if Gen. Kuro-
patkin is undertaking such a desperate
move, he can only be doing so in defer
ence to the strongest political pres
sure and against his own better judg-
ment.
No further news of any kind has
been received about the movements of
the Japanese forces. Both Gems. Ku-
roki and Oku are working in the ut
most secrecy.

Toxic correspondent estimates the to-

ALMOST FREE FIGHT
IN ILLINOIS CONVENTION.
Republicans Cannot Agree Upon R
GubernatOriaI Candidate.

GuDernAtOF1Hl CanO10utes
Springfield, ILL.,, June "A desperate
effort on the part of the leaders to
break the deadlock in the state con-
vention failed to-day, and at O'Clock
cess until 10 O'clock tomorrow morn
ing, without having nominated cam
didate for Governor.
The attempt to bring about the break
was spectacular. Ex-Congressman
Walter Reeves, chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, and Chairman
Cannon engineered the plan, which
was made possible by the action of
the Committee on Resolutions in re-
porting back the resolution offered
yesterday to, the effect that the dele
gates be released from instructions.
Chairman Cannon eloquently plead
ed with the delegates to break the
deadlock He declared that the con-
vention by its action was injuring the
Republican party, not only in Illinois,
but in the entire nation.
There was not a vote against the
resolution, but when the roll was call
ed on the sixty seventh ballot there
was no substantial change in the bal
lots of the previous day.
When the convention reconvened for
the afternoon session the long expect
ed break from Yates to Lowden came
and Lowden got the vote of Speaker
Cannons direct as well as the votes
of several other counties and some
scattering delegates. For several bal
lots his vote increased. until he reach
ed vote of 6311a. Then the tide turn
ed, and on the closing ballot, the sew
enty-eighth, his vote had dropped to
1924. 1t requires 752 to nominate.
Yates lowest vote during the day
was 1862, and his closing vote was 405.
There was no material change in the
vote of the other candidates.
Much excitement prevailed during the
afternoon session. Lowden shouters
started several demonstrations in eff
forts to stampede the convention. and
they made a great din. When Lowden
began to fall back the Yates people
began a demonstration, and let down
from the Orders a great banner bear
ing the words, Hold the Fort"
Chairman Cannon ordered 1t taken
down, and dozen ready hands, led
by Sheriff Ben Bpainerd, tore it from
its fastenings, and threw the wreck
among the Morgan county delegation
of Yates men. A free-for- all-fight was
prevented only by the interference of
.he police.

BY r. NJ. Larner.
Washington, D. c., June 2.-Wis-
consin offers an encouraging field for
some effective Democratic missionary
work if the reports coming from Post
master General Payne's state are to
be credited. The Lafollett Republi-
cans, who came on here to block the
game of Senators Spooner and the other
boilers, and prevent them from obtain
ing the support of the administration,
when the Wisconsin case comes before
the convention. INDUCED in some very
plain talk to the President.
It did not take them long to discover
that the President, while declining to
take sides in the pending controversy
indicated quitely clearly that his SYM
pathy is with the Spooner faction. The
Lafollett people, are ready 20 sacrifice
the National ticket rather than sur
render to the Spooner boilers. This
suggestion was made, it is said, during
the conversation at the White House.
1t was not very pleasing to the Presi-
dent to be tod to his face, that the
regular Republicans OF wisconsin nave
a greater reason for being loyal to
Gov. Lafollett than to The national
ticket.
II is said that Postmaster General
Payne has promised to use his influence
in the organization of the convention
to give recognition to the Spooner dele
CATION. The Lafollett crowd, who are
the regulars, will resist any action of
that kind, to the bitter extreme. They
have served notice on the President
that If the convention backs up the
claim of the Spooner boilers 1t means
the loss of the electoral vote of Wis
consin to the Republican party.
In this connection word comes from
Illinois and Ohio to the effect that Cen
eral Apathy is having many recruits
from the Republican camp in those two
states. In the rural districts, where
the administration is counting on roll
ing up an unusually large vote, to off
set the Democratic majorities in the
cities, there is a general feeling of
indifference on the part of Republic
cans, who have heretofore been active
workers for the party. 1t is said that
the lukewarmness of the Republican
leaders all through the West and Mid
die West is spreading among the rank
and file. There Is too much Roose-
Welt and not enough Republican party
to please the boys who do the work
at the polls.

sidered important, as the Mohamme-
dan chiefs unite in appealing to Raisuli
not to endanger their religious supre-
macy in Morocco. The French govern
ment relies much upon the appeal to
Mohammedan sentiment.
The natives are greatly excited by
the arrival of so many foreign war;
ships. They call all foreigners "Rou-

the Roumis are about to make a united
effort to drive out those who are of
the Mohammedan faith.
