EsOpus, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Judge Alton
B. Parker yesterday received formal

and in accepting gave public express
sion for the first time of his views on
the issues Of the campaign.
The notification was brought to

of Missouri, as chairman of a {
mittee representing every state .
territory in the Union. Mr.. Clark, i'll
a brief speech, informed the candidate
Of his nomination and presented to
him a formal communication signed
by the committee.
Standing bareheaded during a brief
lull in the rain storm which had lasted
since soon after daylight, Judge Park.
er accepted the nomination and set
forth his views in q speech that
evoked
Frequent and Hearty Applause.
He spoke for a little more than half
an hour.

north side of the house and was at
tended by upward of 600 people, the
larger number of whom came from
New York city with the notification
committee on the steamer Sycamore.
The company included many Demo
Gratis OF national prominence as well
as a large and representative delega-
ton from Tammany Hall.
There would have been a gala day
gathering from Kingston and vicinity,
where, perhaps. the judge is best
known. but the rain had been so
heavy and continuous that few local
people ventured forth.
After the ceremony all crowded up
eagerly to shake the candidates hand
and to congratulate him upon his
speech.
Judge Parker Accepts.
In replying to the notification speech
Of Champ Clark Judge Parker spoke Ia
part as follows:
"The admirable platform upon
which the party appeals to the coun-
try for its confidence and support

the legislative and administrative de-
partments of the government.
Powers Are Exceeded.
ut must be confessed that in the
course of our history executives have
employed powers not belonging to
them: statutes have been passed that
were expressly forbidden by the C~n-
stitution and statutes have been set
aside as unconstitutional when it was
difficult to point out the provisions
said to be offended against in their n.
actment.
IF we would have our government
continue during the ages to come, for
the benefit of those who shall succeed
us, we must ever be on our guard
against the danger of u%surpation of

JAPAN MUST SHOW CAUSE FOR
THE SEIZURE OF A RUSSIAN
WARSHIP.
Dt MANDS INDEMNITY FROM CAR
BRITAIN WANTS SATISFACTION
FOR SINKING OF KNIGHT
COMMANDER.

London, Aug. 1.-THE final cabinet
council of the parliamentary session
was held yesterday afternoon at the
foreign Office, and it gave particular
attention to the question of the neu-
trality of China and British action on
the Russian reply to the Knight Com
mander representations.
After the council closed the m
phatical statement was made that
Great Britain feels it absolutely es-
sential to her own interests and those
of the entire world that the neutrality
of China shall be observed by the
| two belligerents. Great Britain will
make earnest efforts to secure this
result.
Indemnity Demanded.
In connection with the Knight
Commander case the British govern
ment will instruct Ambassador Hard
inge that it cannot admit the conten-
ton that the steamer was rightfully
| sunk and will insist that there was
no Justification for so doing in inter-
| national law. The British note will be
| couched in the most conciliatory tone,
and it is fully expected in cabinet cir
Giles that the question will be adj
justed by Russia paying an adequate
indemnity.
The Neutrality Of China
| presents a more knotty problem to
the London authorities for the reason
| that they have to consider the effect
upon their ally. The disposition OF
the government is to go SLOW. In
other words, while insisting that
China shall continue neutral, the gov
eminent will give Japane every OPP
portunity to show, if possible, a justi-
fcation for the action of the torpedo
BOAT destroyer in capturing the Rye
shitelni. Exchanges on the subject
have occurred between Great Britain
| and Japan. The latter insists that
the Russians were the aggressors.
but the reports of British officers
seem to establish the fact that the
Japanese took the Initiative.
At the Japanese legation a repre-
| sentative of the Associated Press was
informed that the Toxic government
has not reached a decision in respect
| to the return of the Ryeshitelni to
Chefu, nor is it known that such &C.
| ton is under consideration.
Look to Washington.
Officials and diplomats here recog-
| nize the Importance of the Washing
| ton statement that the United States
| can dc no more than to use her Of
fetal influence to preserve the neu-
trality of China, but it is pointed out
this has proved most effective in the
past. particularly il the negotiations
following the Boxer outbreak, and
probably it would have the same re-
suits to-day, particularly as Great
Britain proposes to support the same
principle.

Wheat Is the Only Exception to the

Chicago, Aug. 13.-President James
H. Eckles OF the Commercial National
bank made public yesterday this sum-
mary Of the reports gathered from the
officials of 1902 state and national
banks scattered through the great
cereal producing states, estimating the
crop conditions:
Spring Wheat - In the Northwest
the conditions are such as to make an
accurate estimate impossible at this
time. The southern sections OF the
spring wheat states have sustained
serious damage and more is threat
ened. The Northern spring wheat
crop will equal that of last year II the
frost holds of until Aug. Is.

elsewhere, although as accurate in
formation was gathered concerning
other crops as 1t is possible to get on

GREAT DEMOCRAT LAUDs ACTION

GL0RIES IN PARKER'S GRIT
Former President Approves the TeIe-

as a Wholesome Change in Senti-
ment in Rank and File of Party.

by Grover Cleveland, which will be
printed in Golfers July %. Mr.. Cleve-
land lauds the action of Judge Parker
in sending his gold telegram" to the
St. Louis convention and expresses his
satisfaction with the platform.
NO action of demOcracy's represen-
tatives assembled in the late cCnven-
tion,' he says, 'can be construed in
no other way than as an aclnowl-
edgement of the establishment of the
gold standard and a willing pledge to
its maintenance" He insists that Gin
refusing to indulge any further free
silver or double standard vagaries, the
convention did not en- account of exist
ing conditions, merely make a virtue
of necessity, but that it voiced, instead,
an actual and wholesome change in
sentiment among the rank and file of
the democracy"
