UTAH DOES NOT INSTRUCT.
It is Believed That Four Delegates
Are for Parker, Two for Hearst.
(By the Associated Press. }

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 9.-The
six delegates of Utah to the National
Democratic convention will go unln-
structed. Four of the six, it is under
stood, are against William r. Hearst,
with a leaning toward Judge Parker
as first choice. Two delegates prob
ably will support Hearst. For some
time before the Democratic State con-
yention which met today it seemed
almost certain that bitter factlonal
fight would be waged over the ques-
tion of instructions to the National
delegates in regard to the polygamy
question. 1t was finally decided by
the party leaders to avoid all refer
ence to the question, and so thor
oughly was this plan carried out that
no committee on resolutions was APP
pointed, and no platform was pre-
sented to the convention.

Four Days of Battle Denied.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, June 9.-2:0S p. m.
The War Office is in possession of
information which the officials declare
warrants a contradiction of the re-
ports. brought by Chinese fugitives
to Chefoos of four days land and sea
attack on Port Arthur, and of extern
sive damage to the forts. An official
dispatch from Rear Admiral Wittsoeft,
dated June 18th, reports that the
enemy has been bombarding Port Ar
thur internationally from the sea, but
does not mention serious operations
from the land side. The general staff
seems certain that the enemy's siege
guns have not yet been brought up.
While declining to furnish specific
information ON the subject, it seems
certain that the Russians are now in
wireless communication with Port
Arthur. By no other way could the
receipt of Admiral Wittsoeft dispatch
be accounted for.

Recent developments have satisfied
me that the leaders of our party do not
think it wise for Kennebec man to sue
coed the Hon. John +. Hill; and while i
do not think that locality should be the
criterion in selecting the candidates for
any important office, | most graciously
yield to the apparent wishes of large
number of party leaders in this instance.
But in so doing | wish to state that my
desire to be governor of my native state
has in no way diminished, and that it is
my purpose TO again be candidate when
the successful man at the Bangor con-
vention shall have had party usage.
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM 7. HAINEs.
