WAITING FOR TOAIoRROW's WORD.
LAMONT TO SEE PARKER
AN INTERESTING FEATURE OF
EVENTS AT RosEMoUNT TODAY.
Judge Gray Will Also Visit-Notable
Democrats Expected at Tomorrow's
Notification Ceremony.

ESOPUS N. Y, August 9.-The eXpecta-
ton that Daniel S. Lamont and Judge
George Gray, with their wives were COM
ing to ROsemount to see Judge Parker
was the only interesting feature here to-
day The expected visit was the source
of much political interest, though 1t was
understood that Judge Parker was de-
termined not to interfere in the state
campaign or the selection of democratic
nominee for governor.
1t is expected here today that in addi-
ton to the notification committee and a
large number of visitors from Kingston
and New York there will be present at
the notification ceremonies several not
able democrats members of the national
committee and others, including former
Senator David b. Hill and Senator Bailey.
Judge and Mrs. Parker went for
horseback ride early in the morning,
alter which the judge settled down to
work in his library.
Colonel and Mrs. Lamont and Judge and
Mrs. Gray arrived at ..Esopus Landing at
12:30, coming up from Poughkeepsie on the
yacht Queen City. They had luncheon on
the boat en- route and declined the urgent
invitation of Judge and Mrs. Parker to
nave luncheon at Rosemount.
Judge Parkers visitors remained at Rose
mount less than an hour. Col. Lamont
sa.:1 there was no politics in the call as
his purpose in coming at this time was to
present Judge Gray to the candidate. The
discussion on the Rosemount veranda was
general, and was participated in by the
visiting ladies and Mrs. Parker The La
mont and Parker families have been in
innate friends for years .. ~
AS Judge Gray and Colonel Lamont stood

INTEREST DIMINISHING.
United States Not Worried Over
knight Commander Affair

The fact that so far no proof has been
produced before the State Department to
show American ownership of single
pound of the cargo of the Knight Com
mander, the British vessel sunk by the
Vladivostok squadron, has rather tended
to diminish the interest here, in the finan-
cial side of that affair. The fact Is that
the commercial practices in the eastern
trade are so irregular that it is very diff
cult to establish ownership of cargo, and
the general belief here is that in the alb
sence of specific proof on that point the
consignee must be regarded the owner of
the goods.
But much interest is manifested in the
international question now under discussion
between Russia and Great Britain as to
the right of beiligerent to sink a neutral
ship even with contraband aboard, in
stead of taking her before a prize court.
1t begins to appear that the United States
is so placed geographically that in the
event of war with European power 1t
might be very necessary for our warships
to take the Russian view of that matter
of the right to sink-else any idea of taking
prizes or infiicting damage upon the enemy
by attacking its merchant shipping must
be abandoned, for 1t is clearly impossible
to bring a prize across the Atlantic with
its own coal. However, the State Depart
ment has not committed itself in this mat
ter but is watching developments in the
negotiations between st. Petersburg and
London.

TO MAKE ORDER EFFECTIVE.
New York Union Leaders Preparing
for Strike.

NEW YORK, August 9.-Preparations
were rapidly going forward today toward
making effective the butchers strike order
issued last night by Homer ID. Call, secre-
tary of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Rutcher Workmen's Association, which. IL
is expected by the union leaders, will ef-
fectiyely close the plants of the companies
AFFILIATED with the so-called meat trust to-
morrow While but thirty-five hundred
butchers will be directly affected by the
strike order it is said that no less than
fifteen thousand workers will be thrown
out of employment If the big packing houses
are forced to close.
What the result will be in the local retail
market cannot be accurately learned at
this time because of conflicting statements
as 10 the amount of beef on hand. The
packers claim to have "a supply large enough
to fill all the orders that ordinarily would
come to them in a month, but at the same
time the union men declare that a scarcity
of beef will become apparent Immediately
after. the plants are closed.
Today the butchers and laborers in the
plants named in the strike order were en-
gagged in cleaning up the slaughter houses
and putting everything in order.
The strike order provides for complete
cessation of work at 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning, when the twenty-four hours nos
t1ee served by the union will expire.

Russians Could Not Hold Positions.
AT in the morning of July 80 about
five divisions of Japanese took the offensive
against position on the Wolf hills. In
view of the enormous superiority of the en-
emy's forces and the weakness of the posi-
tion our troops were ordered to retire to the
next positions without fighting. The move
ment was effected in complete order under
the protection of artillery. which hy ac-
curate fire at short range, completely
stopped the Japanese advance
Our losses have not yet been ascer-
tanned, but they were not great The
losses of the Japanese were very consider
able. In the engagements of July % and

DEMOCRATS MUST WORK
If They Want to Carry Mississippi,
Says Humphreys.

Representative Humphreys of Mississippi
was in the city today. Mr.. Humphreys
thinks that if the democrats of Mississippi
do their duty that state will be safely with
in the democratic column next fall. He
surprises his friends by stating the case
stronger than that. He believes the state
will be democratic without a doubt
For the first time in ten or twelve
years." said Mr.. Humphreys today, I'VE
have republican candidates in all our con-
gressional districts in Mississippi That
means that the democrats will have to get
out and vote
In the past the contests of Mississippi
have been limited to the primary conven-
tions, where the democrats gathered to
nominate their candidates. They have
then let the election go without much at
tention Mr.. Humphreys the last time he
was elected to Congress received only !, lag
votes This year he will have to get many
times that number in order to return to the
capital.
Mr. Humphreys is here his way to

committee of the House of Representa-
tives, which will journey along the New
England coast and then up the ST. Law
renee, through the lakes and down the

OPINION is DIVIDED.
Much Speculation Over Character OF
Next Engagement.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 9-No fresh
news of fighting or army movements comes
from tine front and opinion still is divided
as to whether the coming battle. news of
the beginning of which the public Is ex
pccting to hear hourly, will be a general
engagement or only another rear guard
action.
All the newspapers today express great
relief over the reports from Port Arthur
The army organ says that although Cen
eral Stoessels report gives no details IL is
evident the Japanese have suffered a very
severe reverse. The paper also pays a
tribute to the navys share in the defense
of the besieged fortress. Reviewing Cen
eral kuropatkin's movement it continues.
THE retreat is in accordance with a plan
laid down for the first period of the cam
paisn. which Is to weaken the forces of the
enemy by contesting strongly the defensive
portions, thus impeding japanese progress
and compelling the enemy to waste large
numbers of men and much war material on
the advances. The result has been that, In
three and one-half months, the Japanese
have only covered few score of versts.'

Probable Character of the Next

CHEFOO, August o, p.m.-From a
Source hitherto reliable it is said there is
good reason to believe that the Japanese
are renewing their attack on the remain
ing outer positions at Port Arthur.
The officers of the German cruiser
Fuerst Bismarck, lying at the outer edge
of this harbor. express the opinion that
the firing heard last night was an en-
counter between detachments of the bel
ligerents' warships, approximately twen-
ty miles northwest of Chefoo
From the cruisers advantageous posi-
tion the flashes preceding the detonations
could be seen. However, three steamers
which entered the harbor early this
morning claim that they did not hear any
firing. Two junks also reached Chefoo
today, but they had no information of i'm
portance.

POSTAL CLERKS BOND.

Low Rates Probable.

IL mas peen decided by the Post Office De-

postal clerks who will have to give bond
under a recent order of the Postmaster
General may give either personal or surety
company bonds.
No preference will be shown as between
the two kinds of bonds nor as between the
companies qualified to issue the bonds. Any
surety company duly qualified before the
Attorney General will be accepted by the
Post Office Department. 1t is probab bic
that the department, through official chan
nels, will advise the railway mail clerks as
TO what companies are ready to execute the
bonds and as to their rates. 1t is likely in
view of the large number of persons at
fected by the order, that low rates will be

NEW YORK, August 9.-Leading demo-
Gratis, and among them members of the
executive committee. see in the fact that
William F. Sheehan is to be in active
charge of the democratic campaign evidence
that Judge Parker will be at all times in
close touch with every important feature
of the canvass Mr. Sheehan is the close
personal and political friend of the demo-
cratic candidate, and 1t was to him that
the now famous telegram about the gold
standard was sent.
At the time of the meeting of the ma
tional committee many eastern democrats
wanted Senator German or Mr. Sheehan
for chairman of the committee, but it is
now claimed that the same practical result
has been accomplished by selection of the
latter chairman of the executive COM
mittee and in placing the management of
the campaign in his hands.
The present arrangement is satisfactory
to the eastern men who are to raise the
money for the campaign, and who on this
account were anxious to have an eastern
man for campaign manager.
