IT'S ANYBOD.Y'S FIGHT
THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL
NOMINATION.
Lull in the Parker ,Enthusiasm-Mr
Germans Friends Ready to Take
Advantage of Any Opportunity.

The conviction is growing among demo-
Gratis that, notwithstanding the wave OF
Parker sentiment which swept over the
country after the New York state conven-
ton, the democratic presidential nomina-
ton is yet an open questiou-any man
fight. Realizing this fact, Senator Cor
mans friends are preparing 30 resume ef-
forts in behalf of his candidacy, which has
kind of begged down for some time past.
1t Is reported that Murray Vandiver, the
democratic state chairman ofsMaryland. has
engaged sixteen rooms at the Southern
Hotel, in st. Louis and will open German
headquarters Undoubtedly the reserva-
tions indicate something doing among the
Marylanders, as it Is not to be supposed
that the Maryland delegation to the con-
yention would occupy sixteen rooms at the
current market quotations sfor rooms at
St. Louis just for sleeping purposes alohe.
Senator German, it is generally unoer-
stood. will contest in friendly way with
Judge Parker for the. nomination and with
the expected dark horse for whom both
candidates are looking. Senator Gorman
thinks that the Hearst movement IN the
south has been checked and he is willing to
60 into the convention and take his chances
as against Judge Parker. The practlce OF
securing instructed delegates, which was
being inaugurated by Mr. Hearst. has been
stopped. 1t now looks as If q large proper
ton of the delegates to the convention VIII
be uninStructed.
Up to this time delegates have been
elected in ten states and one territory to
the number of 286 and of that number 134
were uninstructed Such big states as
PENNSYLVANIA, New Jersey, Oregon, Kansas
and West Virginia have declined to in
struct 1t is said that from-now on efforts
will be renewed to withhold instructions.
Many of the prominent politicians among
the democrats think it would be wise to
leave the convention as free, as possible.
because until the leaders getSto st. Louis,
look over the ground and sound the strength
OF the Bryan faction. they can hardly tell
which way they may want to turn.
Up to this time instructions have been
given for candidates as follows:
Parker, New York,s7S.
Hearst, Rhode Island o; South Dakota. g.;
Nevada, g; New Mexico, 9.

SOLDIERS oBEYED ORDERS.
Why Troops on Jap Transport Refused
to Surrender,

The japanese minister here has received
the following cablegram regarding the loss
Of the transport Kinshu Maru:
TOXIC, April 29.-As the ninth company
of the s7th Infantry Regiment (peace
strength, about 80 men, was returning to
Gansan in the transport Kinshu Maru, reg
istered tonnage 1850, after accommodating
Yiwon and the neighborhood of Hangyong-
do. they were stopped at II: 10 pm. April %
Off Sinpho by three Russian cruisers and
two torpedo boats The warship ROssia
then approached her and the ships captain,
accompanied by the experimenting naval
officer and two other officers. went aboard
the Rossia, where they were apparently
detained. The enemy gave an hours re-
spite for surrender, but the soldiers, in
strict discipline, obeying officers orders
refused. At 1:3O am. April 26 the enemy
discharged torpedo, whereupon our SOL
diers, forming themselves into lines on
deck. exchanged fire with the enemy, dur
ing which many of our officers and men
perished. At about a. m another torpedo
was discharged, which, hitting the engine
room. split the transport in two. Some
coolies and merchants had previously taken
two boats and were subsequently joined by
some soldiers after the explosion. The
boats then rode westward, and. after inde-
scribable sufferings. the men reached Sim
pho on the 9th. There were forty-five
petty officers and privates. six coolies and
merchants. Most of the crew and coolies
appear to have been taken by the enemy.
All the military except the above men,
toned survivors are believed to have died.
OF the company lost there were two cap
tains, two first and one second lieutenant
one ensign, seventy-three privates and two
interpreters. OF the surviving soldiers ten
were slightly and one seriously wounded.

Merging Of Interstate Commerce Com

Merging Of Interstate Commerce Com
mission With Department Of Commerce
Although the question of securing to the
Department of Commerce and Labor the
right OF control over the interstate COM
merce commission. by having that latter
named body placed by Congress under the
jurisdiction Of the former, never reached
the point of controversy. it is well under
stood that the department earnestly wished
such control. Congress was never asked to
make tie change, but 1t is spoken of unoffl-
cially that suggestions were offered to in
dividual members of that body that the De-
partment of Commerce. seemed to be the
natural agency through which the interstate
commerce commission should transact its
business.
Assistant Secre cary Decker of the commits
sion this morning said to a reporter for The
Star that there have never been any COM
munications upon the subject between the
commission and the Department of Com
rnerce end Labor.
Under the circumstances, he said, the
commission cannot take occasion to state
its views as to the advisabflity, or contrari-
wise, of merging the commission with the
rew department.
Mr. Decker further said that IL there has
ever been any serious attempt to have the
commission alaced under the Jurisdiction of
the Department Of Commerce it was not Of
ficially known to the members of the COM
mission.
1T is true he said, that while the bill
establishing the Department of Commerce
and Labor was the subject of debate in the
House of Representatives during the last
session of the Fifty-seventh Congress an
amendment was adopted. just previous to
the final vote, placing the commission in
the proposed new department. This was
directly afterwards taken out of the bill
by the conferees of the Senate and House
and the proposal has never since been re-
newed."
