ROSEMOUNT HAS
 VERY QUIET DAY
JUDGE PARKER HAS NO VISITORS, BUT SPENDS MUCH TIME AT TENDING TO HIS voLUMlNoUs CORRESPONDING

Esopus, July 1s-There were no visitors to Rosemount today. Very little of inter- est appeared in the mail and nobody had a word to say on the subject of politics. The day was excessively hot The tre- mendous rain of the night and early morn ing made the roads so muddy that Judge Parker postponed his daily horseback ride till afternoon and then shortened it ma terially in mercy for his horse.
 Suggestions of the political conference in New York appeared in usual activity of the judges telephone early in the af- ternoon but nothing could be learned as to whom he talked with or the subject of the conversations.
 Judge Parker declined to say anything about the published story that he had in- yited Charles E. Murphy, leader of Tam many Hall, to come to Rosemount, and that the latter had declined. There is good reason. however, to regard the story as devoid of fact.
 It is well understood here that Judge Parker, MT. Sheehan and their friends have no wish to affront MT Murphy in any way. It is known that Tammany is to have much more than nominal consid- eratIon. but there is no reason to SUD- nose that any direct overtures have as vet gone forth from Rosemount. Action in A number of matters awaits the re- suits of tonight's conference in New York

O T. PETERSBURG. July 1S.-The fol-
 lowing dispatch from General Ku- V ropatkin to the emperor, dated July IT, on our eastern front, was given out to- night:
 After the occupation by General Kuro- kis army of the passes in the Fenshui mountain chain our information concern ing his forces and dispositions, was in general inadequate. According to some re- ports his army had been reinforced and he had extended his forces towards Sai- matsza. Other reports stated that a dis placement of his troops had been made in the direction of Ia Pass and Siu Yen. There were even indications that Kuroki had transferred his headquarters from Tskhakhekan to Touinpu.
 ''On the strength of the information re- ceived, and on the basis of reconnois- Rsances which had been made, the hypoth- of the enemy were to concentrate around Lianshankwan, and that their advance guard had been strengthened in the passes of Siaokao, Wafankwan. Sinkia, Lakho and Papau, as well as at Sybey Pass two and a half miles north or the roau, and half the height of Siaokao Pass.
 "On July r, in order to determine the strength of the enemy, it was decided to advance against his position in the direc- ton of I5ianshankwan. Lieutenant General Count Keller had been instructed not to start with the object of capturing the pass but to act according to the strength of the force that he would find opposed to him.
 ''The left column of the expeditionary force, consisting of three battalions, was dispatched towards Sybey pass. The cen ter column. commanded by Major Gen eral Kashtalinsky, consisting of fourteen battalions with twelve guns. was destined to attack Siaokao pass, the heights sur mounted by the temple and Wafankuan pass The right column, one battalion

MAY BE LYNCHING
 IN DANVILLE, VA.
SOUTHERN EMPLoYEs PREPAR- ING TO MAX DEMONSTRATION AGAINST NEGRO WHO KILLED ONE OF THEIR ASSOCIATES.

Danville, Va, July 1S.-It is generally feared that the Southern railway em- ployes are preparing to make a demon stration against Roy Seals. the colored prisoner in the city jail. charged with the killing Of James I. Armes last Fri day. R. B. Talbot, night watchman who was with Armes when the fatal shot was fired, has positively identified the pris- oner as the man who did the shooting. He says there is no doubt about Seals guilt.
 The Danyille Light infantry. the only military organization in the city, left last night for St. Louis. 1t Is generally believed that the fellow workmen and friends of the murdered man were only waiting for the soldiers to be out of the place to make a demonstration against the prisoner. Threats were only made on the day following the shooting that a lynching would take place if the guilty party could be captured. There is a feel ing of uneasiness apparent in the city.

these positions owing to their situation. were untenable.
 General Keller found the strength of the enemy so great, compared with ours' that he decided not to continue the fight. and not to bring up either the special or the general reserves, especially in view of the fact that in case of his ultimately taking the offensive. it would be neces- sary to attack without the support of the field artillery.
 Tn consequence of this, General Keller decided about 10;3O to withdraw his troops to the positions originally occupied in the Yanze pass. The troops retired slowly, step by step, and in perfect or der, covered by the fire of a field battery which had been brought into action. To- wards midday an offensive movement by the% enemy in the direction of the right flank of the Yanze pass position develop ed, and at the same time a Japanese mountain battery vas brought into posi- ton in the village of Tsoudiaputse, two and a half miles south of lkhavuan.
 After thirty-four shots had been fiered from the third battery of the Third brigade which held the saddle to the south of Yanze pass, the Japanese bat tery was finally reduced to silence.
 The fight ceased at 3 ?. m. and the troops returned to Ikhavuan.
 "sThe Japanese advance was stopped above the village of Iantaghe at a position occupied and maintained by us.
 On account of a seepless night and the heat of the day. our troops were greatly fatigued, having been over four teen hours on foot and fighting.
 Our losses have not been exactly as- certained, but General Keller reports that they exceed one thousand.
 {" The gallant Twenty-fourth regiment suffered most General Keller especially mentions the activity, courage and cool ness shown by it's commanding officers Colonel Koschitz was severely wounded in the leg but remained in the ranks until the end of the action.'"

strong, was occupying points where the roads leading to Sinkia and Lakho passes cross, in order to cover the right flank of General Kashtalinsky's column. The general reserve was left at Ikhavuen, and a portion of the force occupied position at that place.
 ''At 10 D. m., July 16, the head of the column advanced from Ikhavuan. At Il O clock a battalion of the Second regiment dislodged q Japanese outpost at the point of the bayonet, at the crossing of the Lakho and the Sinkia roads.
 ''The details of this engagement have not yet been verified, but it's general course, according to teegTaphie reports sent in General Keller, was as follows:
 During the night the Japanese had evacuated Siaokao pass, and the heights surmounted by the temple leaving only outposts there. At dawn General Rash talinsky's column occupied the passes, driving back the Japanese advance posts.
 'At about 5:30 on the morning of July F the Japanese in considerable strength ad with numerous guns occupied Wa fankwan pass. and the mountainous bluffs to the south, on the flank of General Kashtalinsky's column. From this posi- tion. and from the crest of the mountains to the east of the heights surmounted by the temple, the enemy directed a very heavy rifle and artillery fire.
 General Kashtalinsky advanced to oc- cupy the bluffs. sending forward at once one of the three battalions, but the at tempt failed, notwithstanding the support given by the horse mountain battery as our field guns could not be brought into action on account of the nature of the ground.
 'At about a. m. General Keller, who was directing the fight around lkhaYnan' deemed 1t necessary to lend assistance to General Kashtalinskys column by bring ing up from the general reserve three bat talions to the heights surmounted by the temple In order to maintain the posi- tions we had already occupied, it was necessary. owing to the enemy's pressure, to reinforce immediately with other re- th1 acrhtiraer line hut

Louis convention. There is quite a popu- list element in North Carolina, and fusion with them by the democrats in 1896 caused some of the best citizens in the party to either support Mckinley or remain in- different to the result of the election.
 This year the party is reunited, and the old fight against the populist will be made. There is but one close congression- al district-the Tenth-borderipg on Ten nessee. and the democrats will carry it this year. Four years ago the republi- can party in North Carolina promised to achieve some degree of responsibility, through the lily whites, but with the death of President Mckinley and the raising of the race issue by his successor, there is nothing left of the republican party in the Tar Heel state but negroes. quite few of whom President Roosevelt has appointed to public office. As in all the southern states the president has driven the best element of the republi- cans into the democratic party.
 The democratic party in Delaware will enter the coming campaign with much enthusiasm. and prepared to wage a hard f-ht for success An old-time speaking and hustling campaign is looked for, and orators of national reputation will give aid to the local democrats. Altogether
 nolitics will be lively in Delaware this | fall.

MURDER IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The number OF murders credited 10
South Carolina by the attorney general
last year was 222 The proportion Of
murders for the United States per 100,
O0O population was something more
than II. and the proportion per 1OO.-
600, of population in South Carolina
was more than 1G. Giving us the bene-
fit of every doubt, the bloody fact re-
mains that we do more than our share
of murder per acre and per capita in
South Carolina than is done in amy
other state or territory of the coun-
try. Comparative figures in estimating
the degree OF our bloodguiltiness are
of little account, however; the main
point is that murder is not punished
in South Carolina as the law directs
and murder IS becoming more common
every year There must be a reckon
ing sOmeday, and when that reckon
ing is made the people of this genera
ton VIII be utterly condemned.
