Special Dispatch From staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, July "a cablegram from
Paris says: Messages received in ST. Peters
burg report that the Japanese after suffer-
ing considerable loss, have succeeded in
capturing the second line of defense of
Port Arthur.
Gen. Kuropatkin is now blamed in St.
Petersburg for remaining at Liao-Yang in
stead of retiring to Mukden.
The fact that Gen. Stakelberg is given
such important command as that of the
right wing of Kuropatkins army is ridi-
culed, as Stakelberg's health is said to be
bad.
Germany Agreeable to Russian Loan.
The Berlin correspondent of Figaro says
that Germany will readily consent to the
raising of the proposed new Russian loan
in Berlin If Russia should prove conciia-
tory as regards proposed commercial treaty
between Russia and Germany.

She showed her happiness with tears.
VIM. F. Sheehan. who has done the pe&
sonal work for Judge Parker, and August
Belmont were jubilant over the result One
of the most interesting phases of the con-

at least two-thirds of all spectators, 30 per
cent Of them women, remained until the
nomination was made:
Bryan Will Support Parker.
Mr. Bryan left the convention hall few
minutes before the nomination was made
unanimous, but not before he knew that
Judge Parker was nominated. To several
correspondents who were waiting for him
at his hotel he said that he had nothing
to add to what he had said in the conven-
ton, which was that he would support any
candidate nominated on the platform he
had assisted In making.
Good night.
1t may be added that those OF superstl-
tious turn of mind may be encouraged by
the fact that Judge Parker was not nomi-
mated on Friday.

WORE CHEEKY SMILE

ESOPUS, n Y. July 9.-The news of
Judge Parker's nomination was given to
him at $50 am. today by the correspondent
of the Associated Press, who found him
coming out of the water after his morning
swim.
We'll, judge, you've got it, cried the re-
porter, as the athletic figure of the judge
appeared over the bow of the barge from
which he had been diving.
rs that so?" replied the judge. his ruddy
face breaking into CHEEKY smile in which
satisfaction WAS undisguised. He asked
for details of the final vote, and displayed
the liveliest interest in every fact and fig
ure, at the same time refraining from the
slightest comment.
Wouldn't Discuss Nomination.
When asked if he would say anything re-
gardng his nomination he said:
NO, l shall sly nothing whatever upon
| the subject until l am formally notified OF
| my nomination.
| He climbed up the steep bank to his house
and cordially received the greetings of the
| other newspaper men, who had been walt
ing there. but again declined to make any
comment upon the situation
From 9:45 pm. until after 6 O'Clock this
morning, during the hours the convention
was in session, Judge Parker remained IN
river for his usual swim. At that time he
| knew only that there had been an all-night
session of the convention and that the bal
loting had begun.
There is little doubt that Judge Parker
has been confident for many days that he
would be nominated. and while he would
not discuss this aspect of the question: tn s
morning it was plain that the announce
ment of the result brought him no surprise
unless perhaps in some detail of the figures
involved.
Refused to Discuss Platform.
Judge Parker devoted the first leisure of

ST. LOUIS, July 0.-Chief Judge Alton f.
Parker of the New York state court OF APP
peals was nominated at about fifteen MIN
utes to 6 o'clock this morning for President

recognition, and the ballot finally resulted

The convention was In session from

morning. In that time eight names were
presented to the convention. The nomi-

were made. and as dawn approached 1t be-
came necessary to limit the seconding
speeches to four minutes each.
Ovation to Bryan.
An exception was made in the case of
William Jennings Bryan. who, in one of the
most dramatic situations ever witnessed in
a political gathering addressed the con-

voted the democratic ticket In 1896 and
1900 He spoke on behalf of the Nebraska
delegation. which he said had no candidate
to present or favors to ask. but wanted a
candidate whose nomination would not
prove a triumph for one faction over an
other. He suggested Hearst II the conven-
ton thought best, then former Gov. Patti
son of Pennsylvania, and finally created a
surprise in the convention by declaring for
Senator Cockrell.

In all the hotels, as the early morning

An Effective Influence for Parker.

''One of the most effective influences that
worked for the nomination of Judge Parker
during the past several days was a fear on
the part of the southern delegates that
their representation would be cut down by
a republican Congress if a weak candidate
should be chosen with attendant influence
on elections for the House of Representa-
tives" said Delegate Elisha May of YER
mont. 81 heard an immense amount of talk
to that effect. Many men who might have
held out for Cleveland or German feared
that by so doing they would have risked the
nomination of such man as Hearst. and
to avoid such possibility they closed in
and voted for Parker"
