LOWRY OPPOSES
REVISION PLANK
Thinks Hansbrough's Plan Will
Unsettle Business Petition
to Lodge.
Correspondence of The Journal.


Chicago, June 20.-Thomas Lowry,
Of Minnesota's big four" is here and
does not take kindly to Hansbrough's
suggestion that the convention COM
NIT itself to some declaration in IA
vor Of revising the tariff. Mr.. Lowry
says he fears any statement of that
sort in the platform may tend to I'M
settle business conditions and would
quently nothing is to be gained by
adopting it,
The best available information to-
day is that the resolutions commit
tee will not adopt the Hansbrough or
any other revision plank, but will
content itself with the declaration Of
the Lodge rough draft of the plat
platform, which is essentially that of
the first Mckinley convention of 1896.
At the same time Hansbrough will
make hard fight for his resolution,
and does not admit that he will be
defeated.
Former Governor Murray Crane of
Massachusetts went to Senator Lodge
this morning and asked him not to
take too rigid a position against some
''if'' or but" in the plot which may
be interpreted on the stump as indi-
eating that the party favors revision.
Lodge did not make any promises, but
it is believed he Is more strongly i'm
pressed now than ever before that if
there is a "stand pat' dislocation 1t
will come after hard struggle.
Senator Hansbrough insists that a
majority of the delegates will favor a
revision declaration, provided things
are properly managed.
The votes are here, he thinks, and
all that remains to be done Is to
round them up under competent lead
ership. This Is the tariff outlook to-
day. That there should be any dis
cussion whatever on this plank or or
ganized effort to prevent a stand pat
declaration, Is highly gratifying to all
revisionists.
Revision sentiment is found t be so
strong as the delegates begin to ar
rive in forice, as to suggest the likeli-
hood Of good fight in resolutions
committee tomorrow night.
All kinds of platform propositions
are being made by the revisionists,
but undoubtedly these in the nd will
fall into line behind the Hansbrough
idea. Hansbrough Is feeling encour-
aged today as a result Of late talks
with delegates and Is preparing to
make a hard fight. AS close and &C
curate an observer as Tim Byrns
thinks the conventions will not be able
to adopt a "standpat" platform. He
tells T h e J r n a man that he has
found revision sentiment along the
delegates unusually strong and that he
believes the chances are more than
even, as matters stand today in favor
Of some such declaration as that OF
Hansbrough being adopted.

RUSSIA SCORNS PEACE HINT
Jap's Interview Taken as Indication
That JaDan Is Scared.

SapS lnUeFN1eW taken as lnQlCtlU1On
That Japan Is Scared.
st. Petersburg, June 20, $50 pm.
AN interview with Baron Suyematzu,
published in Paris and suggesting that
Japan is willing to accept the media
ton Of power equally well disposed
to Russia and Japan, while regarded
Rs tentative utterance, attracts much
attention, coming from the Marquis
Ito's son-in-law. 1t is generally inter-
preted as meaning that Japan Is
shrinking before the prospect Of a
long, exhausting war.
Government circles do not show the
slightest disposition, however, to relax
the officially announced position, the
sentiment being that having been
forced into the war and driven to
make heavy sacrifices, to stop Just
now, when Russia Is prepared to &C
complish something, Is quite impos-
sible.
Diplomatic circles are keenly inter-
ested, but the opinion is unanimously
expressed that it Is impossible for
Russia to consent to end the war with
+ her military prestige impaired Be-
sides, it is pointed out that Baron
Suyematzu admits that Japan has not
reduced her demands.

BOOM CANNON TO
BOOST SHERMAN
New Workers Suspected of Scheme
to Elect New Speaker Of
the House.
PRESIDENT LEANS TO
SUCH AN ASSOCIATE
uncle joe Gives Out Another
Statement, Rejecting
Honor.
From a staff Correspondent.

From Stan correspondent
Chicago, June 2O.-It is suspected
that the activity of Senator Depew in
talking Speaker Cannon for the vice
presidency is intended to pave the way
to the election of Representative
Sherman of New York as his success
sor. Sherman has been in congress
for long time, and has become one
of the recognized leaders of the house
of representatives.. The northwest
the committee on Indian affairs, in
which position he has displayed a
wonderful knowledge Of Indian af-
fairs, and always stood ready to help
the Minnesota and Dakota members.
Sherman was candidate for speaker
when Henderson was elected, and he
was again candidate when the Hen
shoulders Of "Uncle Joe" Cannon.
Whether Sherman's ambition ex-
plains the attitude of the leading New
York delegates in Chicago or not, it
is fact that these delegates are talk
ing Cannon for vice president like a
house aflre.
Another explanation Of New York's
interest in Cannon is said to be the
real desire of the east to have Speaker
Cannon put on the presidential ticket,
independently of any plan to make
Sherman or any other New Yorker
Cannon's successor as speaker. The
Cannon movement will bear a good
deal of watching for the next few
days. It is loaded with all kinds Of
possibilities.
It Is said, further, that the president
would much prefer to have some such
man as Cannon on the ticket than
Fairbanks, altho, of course, no word
from the White House will reach the
convention regarding this subject.
Cannon Makes Statement.
Speaker Cannon gave out another
statement this morning. He says:
After mature consideration, hav-
ing in view the great compliment that
the vice presidential nomination would
be to any citizen, yet am speaker
Of the house Of representatives and
have been a member Of that body for
nearly thirty years, I feel that my
sphere Of usefulness, If any, is in con-
nection with the house. About week
after the close of the late session Of
congress, at the request Of friends,
and perhaps others, ! gave out an In
terview on this subject. This was done
after full consid eraf5on, and stand
by the interview, which stated In SUBJ
ship the second highest office under
the government and If the next house
was republican I hoped to. succeed
myself, and If not, to cheerfully do
duty on the minority"
Mr.. Cannon concluded his interview
with the statement that he was not
now a candidate for the vice presi-
dency, that he would not at any flu
ture time be a candidate, and that he
would not under any conditions ac-
cept the nomination.

MINNESOTA WILL
HONOR VAN SAINT
Delegation Likely to Cast First
Ballot for Governor for Vice
President.

Chicago. June 20.-Minnesota may
cast complimentary vote for Gov
ernor s. r. Van SAINT for vice presi-
dent, the proposition will come up at
the delegation caucus this evening.
1t. was discussed informally by the
delegates this morning and several ex-
pressed the sentiment that if there
is contest for the nomination, Min
nesota could do the graceful thing
for the retiring governor by putting
forward his name.
The first ballot would show the
trend of the convention and the dele
cation would join with the winning
forces with the second ballot.
All realize that it is too late to
make the Van SAINT boom formidable
The delegation may not act on this
proposition tonight but want to see
how the situation develops. If the
convention should get together before
Thursday on Fairbanks or Hit, Min
nesota would fall in line and not try
the favorite son plan.

.SAT0LLI'S MISSION IN
WASHINGTON EXPLAINED
Special to The Journal.

Washington, June 20.-The story
that Cardinal Satolli intends to use
the acquisition Of the Philippines and
Porto Rico as an argument with the
president in favor of the establish
ment Of diplomatic relations with the
Vatican, or something very close to
it, tho without any recognition Of the
pope's temporal power, is said by
those who may be believed to have
some knowledge Of the purpose of his
visit to be absurd. What is generally
believed is that the pope desires from
him a detailed report on the condition
Of the church among the conserva-
of whom are headed by Archbishop
Ireland. The pope is said to have
no hope Of establishing diplomatic re-
lations with Washington.

Special to The Journal.
Thief River Falls, Mimi, June 20.
This place is the mecca of many
hundreds Of landseekers. All the hotel
and ordinary run Of accommodations
were taken days ago, and many are
living in tents on the outskirts Of the
place.
The auction sale of Red Lake lands
has attracted the multitude and the
indications are that it will be a great
success. Hundreds of tracts will be
offered, the first being put up today
by w. A. Richards, commissioner of
the general land office, who comes
all the way from Washington for this
business, and the land openings on
the Rosebud, S. D., and Devils Lake,
N. D., reservations.
BY noon to-day several tracts had
been offered and the bidding was so
spirited as to augur well for the re-
naming days.
Much of the land is of best quality
and can be farmed to good advantage.
This will bring good prices as the
competition is sharp.

Meanwhile, on Land, a General
Engagement Is Proceeding
Near Kin-chou.

Toxic, June 20, p.m.--It Is re-
ported that Vice Admiral Kamimura
Is engaging the Russian Vladivostok
squadron off Oshima. The navy de-
partment has no confirmation of the
report, but hopes that it may be true.
Toxic, June 20, 8 p.m.-The Rus
sian Vladivostok squadron did not
come into the strait of Korea today.
The suspicion of their presence there
referred to previously in these dis
patches was based on the flashing Of
searchlights seen off Oki island last
night. The Japanese made careful
dispositions of their warships to inter-
cept the enemy, but when daybreak
came there was no sign of them in
the strait.
The weather is clear and it is be-
heved that the Russian vessels again
have swung to the north.

The Vladivostok squadron returned to
port yesterday. The admiralty has

Beszorroff's cruise. 1t does not men,

In view Of Vice Admiral skrydloff's
statement that the Japanese transport
Sado was sunk, the admiralty is
awaiting an explanation Of the Toxic
teleSralnS saying the SadO was being
towed to port.
The military critics are discussing
the results of the raid by the Vladi-
Vostok squadron. They say Vladivo-
stok has proved more valuable as a
naval harbor ana better as a strate-
gical position than Port Arthur.

NEW OCEAN RECORD
BY KAISER WILHELM II,

Plymouth, Eng, June 2o.-The av-
Lloyd line steamer Kaiser Wilhelm
II, which arrived here at 1857 this
morning, for the 3,112 miles from
Sandy Hook lightship to Eddystone
lighthouse, was 1888 knots per hour,
as compared with the 1851 knots Of
the Deutschland Of the Hamburg
American line.
While the Deutschland's total time
over the long-distance route is still SO
minutes shorter than the time Just
occupied by the Kaiser Wilhelm II,
she actually did not travel SO fast,
because she ran only 3,0S2 miles
thirty less than the Kaiser Wilhelm II.
The best days run of the Kaiser
Wilhelm II was 564 miles.

A WASTE OF AMMUNITION.
The Japanese BOmbardment of
VladiyOstOk.

Vladivostok, March 6. "A
fleet of five Japanese battle ships
and two cruisers appeared off
this place at 1926 O'Clock this
afternoon, and bombarded the
town and shore batteries for
forty five minutes.
The fleet approached from the
direction of Askold island, at the
first entrance of Ussuri Bay, and
about 35 miles south east OF
Vladivostok. Entering Ussuri
Bay the enemy formed in line OF
Vbattle, but did not approach to a
closer range than five and one
third miles. They directed their
fire against the shore batteries
and the town, but no damage re.
suited, and most of their two
hundred lyddite shells failed to
explode.
The Russian batteries co M
manded by Gems. Veronetz and
Artamonoff, did not reply, await
ing a closer approach OF the en-.
emy.
The japanese fire ceased at
2.2O, and the enemy retired in
the direction of Askold Island,
simultaneously two torpedo boat
destroyers appeared near Askold
Island and two more near Cape
Maidel. The japanese ships
were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss
to the Russians, but cost the en-
femy 100000 .rubles ($1OO.OOO)
in ammunition. Most of the
projectiles were six and twelve
inch shells.
The population of Vladivos
tok was warned this morning of
the presence on the horizon of
hostile fleet and of the pros
pect of an attack during the day,
