tion Of the Convention was made. by
a committee representing every State
and Territory in the United States
Joseph g. Cannon, Speaker OF the
House Of Representatives, spoke for
the committee.
The special train bearing the mem

pew OF New York, who is in Europe,
and Senator Clarence ID. Clark OF

Fighting, the Rear Guard Of the Retrestipg
Russians Being 10 Grave Peril,

St Petersburg (By Cable).-Thoush
public attention has been distracted
from the events OF the war during the
past week, first, because Of the fear of
international complications, and, Sec
ond, because Of the assassination OF
Minister of the Interior Won Plehve,
the situation at the front is regarded
rs critical.
The enveloping movement OF the
three japanese armies Of General ku-
roki, Nodzu and Oku around General
Kuropatkins position appears to be
almost complete, and the extended
line OF the Japanese seems to be the
only drawback to concerted action.
1t is realized here that the Russian
general must now either fight or with
draw the whole army northward
Kuropatkin is being closely pressed
at Haicheng. At that place General
Kuroki's northern column makes it
extremely dangerous to remain there,
because, while holding the position to
give battle against the Japanese, whose
General Kuroki might push through
and cut his communications with La
oyang.
While nothing is definitely known,
there are some unofficial indications
that matters are rapidly maturing for
either a battle or a retreat. For in
stance, the refusal TO accept further
press kilograms at Haicheng. This
might be construed either that prepar-
ations are making for a retirement or
that the wires are very crowded, in
cident to concentration at Haicheng
or Liaoyang.
A few days are expected 10 deter
mine which course General Kuropat-
kin has elected to pursue.
There is no inclination here to doubt
that there may have been pretty Sc

Port Arthur. possibly accompanied by
a bombardment from the sea, but it is
not believed that the Japanese are yet
ready to storm the fortress. Rear
Admiral Without, in command of the
naval forces at Port Arthur. is relied
on to put to sea If the condition of the
fortress becomes desperate. While
no definite information is obtainable,
the report that the fortress is short
of ammunition is considered by the
public as the most disquieting feature
of the situation there.
The indications are that the Baltic
squadron is on the eve of an important
movement Nothing regarding this
can be ascertained officially, but many
of the officers already have said fare
well to friends and families, and are
holding themselves ready for instant
service The Emperor had arranged
TO inspect the squadron, but his plan
was given up owing to the assassina-
tion of Minister of the Interior Won
Plehve.
London, (By Cable).-The cores
