A HIT! A HIT!
A PALPABLE HIT
Looks Like Roosevelt and Hit
Against Parker and a
Westerner.
Special to The, Journal.

Special to The, Journal.
Chicago, May 14.-Walter Wellman
In a Washington special to the Rec
ord Herald says:
That the republican national ticket
this year will read Roosevelt and
HIT and that Judge Parker and
some western man will be the demo-
cratic standard bearers, Is the belief
of most politicians at the national
capital.
They base their opinions upon the
action Of the republican convention
of Illinois in presenting Hit for the
vice presidency and upon the notable
victory the Parker forces won at In
dianapOlis.
In administration circles the nom
ination of Hit is regarded as extreme
ly probable. So far he Is the only
positive candidate in the field, for Mr..
Hit, with his accustomed frankness
and good sense, does not deny that
he would feel much honored. If
his personality and his attitude have
made as good an impression upon the
party at large as they have made
here and in Illinois, the movement
to him will grow at an amazing rate.
There are indications that many re-
publicans, in and out of: Washington,
are little weary Of having the vice
presidency kicked about as If 1t were
something to be spurned. e. 's%s
Many of the presidents friends are
advocating Hit, and it was men,
Der of the cabinet, Mr.. Shay, who
suggested him. There Is the best of
authority for the statement that the
selection Of Mr.. Hit would be wholly
agreeable to President Roosevelt.

GET CANADA ATLANTIC
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Toronto, May 14.-The Canadian
Pacific has begun the operation of it's
steamship line on the upper lakes.
The first boat Of the season, the AL
berta, left Owen Sound for Fort Will
liam, carrying a full line Of miscel-
laneous freight for the west. The
Athabasca and the Manitoba will fol-
low with full cargoes, and are await
ing boats from Toronto.
Accordingto current report the
Mackenzie & Mann interests have Sc
cured control of the Canada Atlantic
railway. The reported purchase price
ranges from s12,0oo,000 to $4,000
900. It is understood the dominion
government will lend financial aid to
the project in return for what is de-
scribed as preferential running ar
rangement," by which the Canadian
Northern traffic will be handed over
to the Inter-Colonial, an extension Of
the government road to Coteau juno
ton. It is obvious that the govern
ment would, in the event Of the ac-
ceptance Of this scheme, provide q
third continuous transcontinental
route, and it is urged that the Cana
dian Northern plan would, in no
sense, impair the usefulness OF the
projected Grand Trunk Pacific system.
On the other hand it would bring both
the Canada Atlantic and the Inter
Colonial into touch with lake traffic
and strengthen the government rail-
way system.
The recent examinations of nego-
tiations between the Canadian Pacific
and the Canadian Northern for joint
entrance to western and central On
tario gives color to the rumor that
the Mackenzie-M Mann interests are
seeking an eastern outlet via the Cam.
ada Atlantic.

PARKER AGAINST THE FIELD
New York Man Has Secured Pre-
ponderating Lead.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, May IA special to the
Tribune from New York says:
1t Is certainly Parker against the
field. All agree that Judge Parker
has an extraordinary lead, that the
field presented against him shy no
means a brilliant one, and that ap-
parently no one has yet been mem
toned who seems likely to combine
the opposition.
Parker seems to have more than an
even chance in spite Of the difficulty
in securing a two-thirds majority.
His friends claim at least $50 on the
first ballot and assert that his nomi-
nation is certain unless there is an
unexpected landslide to Cleveland or
some dark horse captures the conven-
ton as Bryan did at Chicago in 1896.
n Much, Of course, depends on the
conventions to be held in the southern
states, but because of the open dec
laration for Parker by John Sharp
Williams, the southern leaders, gen.
orally have taken the ground that as
Parker Is the official choice of New
York they will support him, altho
they will probably go to st. Louis I'M
instructed. - .o,
LAS to the plans Of the Hearst
Bryan combination, to block nom
nation by the operation of two
thirds rule, there is more than ordi-
nary doubt as to the ability of the
radical element to control q third of
the convention. ...

nese 1t is believed that Japan's main
aim, aside from that Of its own secur-
1ty, will have been, at least temporari-
ly, achieved. General Kuropatkin is
strengthening his left wing in the be-
lief that the majority of General XII
middle reaches Of the Taitsze river.
The Russian position Is considered all
most hopelessly difficult. The Japan
csc are converging in large numbers
on Liao-yang or at points that COM
mand the approaches to that place.
Kuropatktn Is confronted by a semi
circular deployment capable Of for
midable frontal action conformity with
wide turning movements. The Jap

form his line of battle parallel to his
line Of communications and thus to in
cur all the embarrassment and danger

will expose themselves to the enfilad-
ing fire of the mikado's men moving
up the railway; not to mention the
operations which the japanese may
launch from the Lao valley on the
Russian rear. To be sure, these spec
ulations spring from the assump tion,
now seemingly universal, that General
Kuropatkin must oppose materially
inferior numbers to his adversaries.
The Japanese communications In the
direction Of the Yalu it is thought,
cannot be disturbed by the Russian
raiders in Korea, since the bases of
Kuroki's army are at Antung and TAX
ushan, and his communications pass
by sea. Nevertheless, vigorous meas
ures are being taken to clear Korea of
the Cossacks.

Sheriff Camps With Mortgaged Fur

A chattel mortgage foreclosure, two
attachments growing out Of an at
tachment, alleged illegal bankruptcy
proceedings, claims Of exemption from
attachment and a $4,000 damage suit
for the alienation of affections
these are a fep of the legal complica-
tons which have come from the
ster, Minnie J. Webster and Mary
Blaisdell and which form legal tan
gle that Sheriff j.. w. Dreger is try
ing to unravel.
The story of the trouble as told by
the officers and in the allegations Of
the papers on file is as follows:
Some time ago Mr.. Webster pur-
chased some $4,000 worth Of furniture
to fit up the American Exchange,
This was turnedover to May Blashill,
whogave notes for the amonnf iii re-
turn. Later Mr., Webster went thru
bankruptcy. ],
In the course of time Mrs. Webster
came to the city, and, not finding
things to her liking, she began dam
age suit for $4,000 against May Bias
hill for alternating her husbands af-
fections To secure her claim she
swore out a writ of attachment COW
erings the $4,000 worth of furniture.
After the beginning Of this action
Albert l.. Young, as trustee in bank
ruptcy, put in a claim of $500 for one
Of the Webster creditors, on the
ground that the, bankruptcy proceed
ings were illegal, owing to the con-
cealment by Webster Of Miss Blashill's
notes. Young also secured writ OF
attachment on the furniture. Then
came a man who owns chattel mort
gage: on the furniture and foreclosed
To offset all other claims Miss BlashilI

from attachment.

RUssIA's MANY TROUBLES
Report That the Peace Party Is Again
Becoming Strong.

Becoming Strong.
London, May IA dispatch to the
Standard from st. Petersburg says
there are persistent rumors there Of a
serious disturbance at Warsaw, in
which high official has been killed.
The feeling is increasing that a sue
cesssful battle in Manchuria Is neces-
sary to insure internal order in Rus
STA.
The statement is also made in St.
Petersburg that there is a strong pos
sibility of peace. It is said that the
war party has urged the car to end
the struggle. The basis of settlement
Is to be the independence of Korea
under the protectorate of Japan, and
Manchuria to remain Chinese terri
tory. In a secret treaty between
China and Japan the integrity of Man
churia has been guaranteed by Japan.
Russia wishes to come to an under
standing with Japan Independently of
England.
So intense has grown the enthusi-
asm for Japan in London that the
Japanese ambassador has many in
quiries from Englishmen anxious to
assume his nationality.
Evidently there as pretty strong
expectation in official quarters here
that a palace revolution will be among
the next events to happen in st. Pc
tersburg. Rumor has it that the car
is anxious to abd1cate, which means
that his uncle, Grand Duke vladimir,
is influencing him with a view to his
own accession.

to inf1ict a disaster on General Kuro-
