HERO OF SANTIAGO ASSISTS THE
s. BAND IN ENTERTAINING
49,. CONVENTION.

st. Louis, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention spent the morn
ing hours in waiting for the report OF
the committee on resolutions. A COM
mittee was appointed by Chairman
Champ Clark to call on the resolutions
committee and learn when the plat
form would be submitted to the con-
vention. Just before the noon hour
the conventions emissaries announced
that the resolutions committee would
require until'S p. m. to prepare its re-
port, but that the action of the COM
mittee would be unanimous and a
platform submitted which, he declared,
would bring the party a glorious vic
tory" The convention then took q
recess until 8 o'clock. u 23--s,
Chairman Clark had the convention

opened. He announced, through q
strong voiced assistant, that the first
person raising row will be thrown
out by the police. After the committee
had been dispatched to learn the
pleasure Of the resolutions committee
the band gave concert Of popular and
patriotic selections. Bourke Cochran
was called for to address the conyen'
ton, but he was not present. Former

Representatives Of Shipping Interests

London, July 9.-High hopes are en-
tertained by the officials OF the board
of trade that. as a result of the coz
ference between representative of the
shipping lines which began Thursday.
an agreement will be reached to emu
the rate war.
Just what proposals were made by
Gerald Balfour, president of the board
OF trade, cannot be learned, but it is
known that he impressed upon the
heads of the steamship companies the
importance to international and pri-
vate interests that the ruinous compe-
ttion be brought to close.
The contentious of each company
have been brought out in the two
days discussion, but before a final set
tlement is reached further considera-
ton will be given to the question of
emigrant and freight rates. 1t is said
that strong feeling exists on the part
OF every member of the conference
that something must be done. but even
with this groundwork it will take some
time to work out the details.

AROUND PORT ARTHUR.
Japanese Forces Form a Gordon on
Land Side.

IdHO 0IOS.
Chefoo, July 9.-Chinese who ar
rived here at night from Port Arthur
say the japanese forces have formed
q complete Gordon around the land
side of the town and that they are oc-
cupying all the commanding hills, in
Guiding Wolf mountain, within a
radius of seven miles of the for,ifica-
tons.
The Chinese say also that two large
warships are missing from the squad
ron which went out from Port Ar
thur on June % and that the Russian
battleship Sevastopol was damaged o.
that day
The japanese bombar.ed Port Ar
thur from he sea on June 80, but no
damage to the town was done.
In the fighting which occurred on
July for the possession of one of the
hills northeast of Port Arthur the
Russians lost, according to Chinese,
100 men killed and so wounded. Fifty
Chinese were sent out to bring in the
Russian dead and wounded.
The Japanese. having occupied the
second range of hills around Port Ar
thur, are now massing men to march
upon the Russian marine camp that
commands the principal pass through
the hills directly back of Port Arthur
This camp is considered vital to the
safety of the fortress and it is
guarded by 10000 marines and sailors.
In the Chinese-Japanese war the
Japanese occupied this camp for
seven days before they took posses
sion of Port Arthur

UNDER SEALED ORDERS.
Division OF Russian Baltic Fleet viii
Sail July 20.

Division OF Russian Baltic Fleet viii
Sail July %.
St. Petersburg, July ga division
of the Baltic squadron will sail from
Cronstadt July 70 under sealed orders.
Complete mystery enshrouds its des
tinatiOn. 1t is said, although nothing
is certain on this point, that the order
for the division will be opened at five
day intervals.
Whether the warships are bound at
once to the Far East in advance of
the other ships may depend upon naval
developments at the seat of war, but
there are attending circumstances
which make it seem unlikely that the
division will start on it's long journey
until the other ships are ready. 1t is
understood that the division will in
clude the armored cruiser Admiral
NakhiInoff, the battleship Osliabia, the
protected cruiser Aurora and the bat
tleship Alexander III. and possibly the
battleship Navarin and the transport
Kamtchatka.
The general naval situation, with
the Port Arthur squadron ready for
sorties at will and the Vladivostok
squadron embarrassing the Japanese
transport plans, compelling the con-
slant presence of Vice Admiral Kami-
mura in the sea of Japan, is consid-
cred to have much improved.

Fall River, Mass, July 9.-The DC.

industry was considered at length at

HEAVY FIGHTING POSSIBLE.
Weather Conditions at the Seat Of War

Weather Conditions at the Seat Of War
Improve.
St. Petersburg, July 9.-With the re-
turn of three days of fine weather,
drying the roads at the theater of war,
the military authorities here are once
more inclined to believe in the proba-
bility of heavy fighting and even in
the possibility of a general engage
ment. The Japanese columns appear
again to be pushing forward at all
points, but the strategic plans of the
Japanese, as we'll as the location of
their main force and the place where
their chief blow Will be struck,
whether at Kaichou, Haicheng, Lao
yang or even at Mukden, are still puz-
cling the Russian authorities. In
general way the Japanese seem to be
withdrawing their pressure southwest
OF Kaichou and Liaoyang, but to be
maintaining it northeast, as if con-
templating combined attack on Tat
chekiao and Liaoyang. The success
of the Japanese thanking operations is
disconcerting the Russians. One by
one the passes in the mountains, which
the Russians had fortified in advance
with indefinite pains, have been at
tackled by the Japanese, who have al
ways managed, by trails not marked
on the maps, to circumvent the Rus
SLAMS. When operating along the in
terror lines, with the railroad to facili-
tate the movement of troops, the Rus
sian general staff believes this fine
quality Of the Japanese will disappear
and that when the Japanese debouch
into the plains the Russians, who are
accustomed to maneuvers in a fiat
country, will be completely at home.

STRIFE OVER PLATFORM
The Democratic Committee On Resolutions
Finally Agrees On Report After Session
of Sixteen Hours.

st. Louis. July 9.-.After a continu.

the platform and adjourned just before
noon instructing it's subcommittee to
arrange the iraft for submission to the
general m.nittee at o'clock, to be
reported to the convention two hours
later.
The platform is compromise &C.
ceptable to all of the interests involved
and was adopted unanimously by the
committee. 1t may be said in gen
eral to have been concession to the
Bryan wing of the party without in
any way stultifying the declarations
of the conservatives. The absence OF
any pronouncement upon the financial
question is most significant and dis
closes the utter impossiblllty OF find
Ing any declaration upon this subject
acceptable to all.
