Among the matters to come before
the council viii be estimates on the
new banGStand in Spencer square To
replace the one there at present and
which has done service for upwards
of quarter of a century. The plan
is to remove the superstructure of
the old stand and to place it on a new
foundation in Longview park. The
stand that il is proposed to erect in
Spencer square will not cost less than
$500. There has been some oppOsi-
ton among the aldermen to making
an outlay of such proportions. but it
is hoped they will see the folly of
their position before toni%ht's meet
ing and join with the others of the
council members who are striving to
maintain the name that Spencer
square enjoys not only at home, but
all over the country as the beauty
spot Of the city Of Rock island.
People Want the Best.
IT would lie unfortunate were the
council to reduce the appropriation to
a point where it would be necessary
to erect cheap stand. That would
never DO. The people. who take par
donable pride in Spencer square and
all that pertains to il, as they do in
all public parks. will tolerate nothing
short of the best in the form of a
bandstand. Better TO leave the Old
structure, despite the fact ii is totter-

before. The negro, knowing at what
hour Mr.. Dudley would go to the plant,
had packed his clothes in market
basket, and placing a pistol he had bor-
rowed from another negro in the
basket, left the plant and near the
railroad tracks awaited the approach
of his victim. When Dudley reached
him the negro placed the pistol to Dud-

through and through. The negro then
ran, firing four more shots.
Dudley by this time had recovered

Lao Yang, Monday. May S0.-(De-
layed in transmission).-The Japanese
lost 200 killed and number of horses
in the fight at Vagenfuchu to-day.
The Russians opened fire at 8 o'clock
in the morning and after two and
half hours long-range firing the Japan
ese under Gen. Akkiama prepared to
charge and crush the force which had
been harassing them for twenty-one
days.
In the meantime Gen. Samsonoff was
approaching Vagenfuchu with a strong
force of cavalry 1t was a sight worth
seeing. when at the word of command,
the Russian squadrons formed and
rushed like a whirlwind across the ter
ribly cut up country, clearing away all
obstacles, the batteries at the same
time trottng along the frightful
roads. Having passed the railroad
station the troops came under the fire
Of the Japanese machine guns, but
withdrew without suffering much loss.
The Fourth and Sixth companies of
the Eighth Siberian Cossacks furiously
charged the Japanese cavalry with
lances, attacking both lanks. In a
few minutes they literally cut the
whole squadron to pieces.
This was the first time lances were
used, and they struck terror into the
enemy. In some cases the Rances
pierced the riders through and wound
ed their horses. Some of the lances
could not be withdrawn from the
bodies into which they had entered.
The japanese infantry, numbering
four battalions of 300 men to a COM
pany, and eight squadrons of cavalry
attempted to advance, but the Rus
sian batteries opened and soon the
slope up which the enemy was ad-
vancing was covered with black spots,
and the enemy was forced to Scatter
and retire.
Some of the Japanese cavalry were
wonderfully dashing, charging with
shouts upon the Russians, who met
and scattered them.
A Cossack, who had lost his lance
and sword, wrenched sword from
a Japanese officer and cut off the OFF,
GERS head.
The Cossacks picked up boots which
had been taken off by the Japanese
in order to facilitate flight and nour-
ished them on their lances as trophies.
The Japanese used the Boer trick
of displaying dummies, but the Cos
sacks did not waste shot on them.
Gen. Samsonoff highly praised the
practice OF the Russian gunners.

SAY THAT KUR0PATKIN
MUST RISK A BATTLE

London, June 2.-No confirmation
has vet been received Of the report
ed heavy fighting near Port Arthur
or with Kuropatkin's army, although
the latter is not regarded as improb-
able.
Rumors persist that court influence
at ST. Petersburg is being actively
exercised to induce Gen. Kuropatkin
TO assume the offensive in an endeavor
by a victory TO retrieve the Russian
military reputation. The Daily Tele-
graphs st. Petersburg correspondent
says:
"A recent council Of war decided that
Gen. Kuropatkin should risk an en-
gagement. The Emperor ratified this
Judgment, even going so far as 10 au-
thorize the dispatch of troops from
the German frontier TO the Far East
on the ground that as Germany was
benevolent she might be trusted safe
Iy. All hopes are centered now In
Kuropatkin, who will make desperate
efforts to save Port Arthur"
Against these statements must be
placed the official contradiction con-
tained in the Associated Press and also
cabled that Gen. Kuropatkin would
move southwark

REPORTS SAY IAPS
ARE FALLING BACK.

st. Petersburg. June 1, $40 p. m.-
The War Office has received reports
showing that the Japanese are falling
back from Stu Yen, southwest of Feng
Wang Cheng. Both movements are
taken to Indicate the continued desire
of the Japanese to screen the opera
tions before Port Arthur.
There is not the slightest foundation
for the report that the Russians will
abandon their position east of Hal
Cheng. Gen. Samsonoff, who is OPP
Grating south of Kai-Chou, is undet-
stood to have a strong force of troops
and TO be likely to harass the Japan
ese outDosts.
AS regards the operations north of
Feng Wang Cheng, the Cossacks have
retired from Saimatsza, with the ad-
ditional loss of two officers and seven
men wounded. Saimatsza is now held

Atlanta, June 1.-The State Demo-
cratic Convention, which met to-day
ir the hall of the House of Representa-
tives, after electing a delegation to
the National Democratic Convention
from which all alleged Hearst men
were eliminated, positively instructed
this delegation to cast it's vote as a
unit for Judge Alton B. Parker of
New York as the Democratic candi-
date for President of the United
States
This feature of the fight did not come
until the close of the convention at
about 3 o'clock. when the Platform
Committee, of which Hon. Warner Hill
was chairman. made its report.
In the resolution giving expression
on this subject the committee used the
word requested" Washington Des-
sau of Macon promptly jumped to his
feet and made a motion that was al
most a demand, that the word ''re-
quested' be stricken out and the word
instructed" be substituted in it's
place. Congressman Hardwick of the
Tenth and others seconded this mo-
tion.
Warner Hill opposed this motion, ex-
planning that the action of the COM
mittee was a compromise between the
contending factions, and that it had
been recommended unanimously by the
committee.
With Defeat of Griggs.
There appeared to be no doubt Of
the result, for instructions were ex-
pected when it became known that
Congressman Jim Griggs had been de-
feated for delegate at large. By vote
of 166 1-3 to 157 2-3 the convention or
dered the word INSTRUCTED" put in the
resolutions regarding the delegation,
and this resolution, which was a part
of the platform, was adopted as fol-
lows:
Whereas, We believe that Judge
Alton B. Parker of New York is the
choice of an overwhelming majority of
the Democracy of this state, as the
Democratic nominee for President;
and,
Whereas, It is the duty of this con-
vention to give force and expression
TO their wishes;
Resolved, That the delegates from
Georgia to the National Convention to
be held in st. Louis be and they are
hereby instructed to cast the vote of
this state for Judge Alton B. Parker as
the nominee of the Democratic party
for President so long as in the opinion
Of a majority of the delegates there is
a reasonable probability of his noni-
nation, and that said delegates shall
vote as unit on all questions as a
majority may determine"

O'clock. After the retirement Of Chair
man r. T. Brown, Hon ]. ]. Spald-
ing presided as temporary chairman.
The contests from Hall and Mitchell
counties were settled by admitting
both delegations with fractional votes,
and the convention got down TO busi-
ness at once. And the business was
transacted with dispatch, too, though
the hall was crowded to overfiowing
