resume of republican achievements" re-
marked Senator Beverage. The harmony
that characterizes the convention is proof
os the condition of the party and the plat
form declarations prove that the party is
progressive and disposed TO conservative
and business interests OF the country. The
fact that the selection of the candidates
was the result of a party sentiment which
was settled in advance but forecasts the
result CT the election In November. AS the
party has made up it's mind on all questions
Sc have the people made up their minds to
accept what this convention has unanimous
ly offered"
THE tariff plank is an especially strong
expression and shows that the party fol-
thoroughly in accord with McKinley's last
words at Buffalo. said Gov Herrick Of
Ohio Personally l am pleased with the
absence of excitement which follows be-
cause we have a demonstration here that

BATTLESH1P RETVIZAN
HOODOO OF THE FLEET

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 9O.-Accord-
Ing 50 the admiralty-s information the
battleshiD Retvizan was the most un-
lucky ship in the harbor before the sor-
tie Of August 10. Out OF l53 slieIls en-
tering the town five struck u e Retvi-
zan. wounding her captain and three
other officers. She was also the only
ship hit when the japanese fired over
L1aou Mountain, the extreme southern
part OF Kwang-Tung peninsula. during
the earlier stage Of the operations.
The report from Chefoo that the Rus
slams have driven the japanese out OF
the position at Palichwang CDaIung-
Chang?J. whence they had been bonn
harding the forts Of Port Arthur. was
received with considerable qualification
at the war office. where II was regarded
as evidence that the defenders are
strong enough 10 even take the offensive
when occasion demands.
For this reason the war office is not
inclined to credit the reports that tIc
japanese have captured forts No. g.
and No 1. just beyond NagOushD
Hin. five miles northeast of Port Ar
thur II IS admitted that the posses
sion of these forts would render the
situation OF the besiesers desperate.
The war Office has no Official Informal
ton from the fortress going beyond Au-
gust $ 3. and 10. which prObab bly, was
sent through the captured Russian tor
ptuO DodL destroy cE HNGSnlTrlnl. al
though this IS not admitted This re-
port tells OF the desperate character OF
the Japanese attacks. which continued
practically without intermission for forty
hours. General Stossers reports of rhe
assaults of August Il and Is are expected
at any hour.
Private information coming f-c:u Port
Arthur by way of Chinese junkS SAYS
that Friday they conveyed message
70 both the general commanding the
fortress and the admiral commanding
the squadron
All the military operations in Man
churia. IL is asserted here. have been
stopped by the rains. TeIsgrams 10 the
war Office describe the terrific effects
of the tOrrenti3l dOwnpOurS.
Many bridges have been swept away
and even traffic on the railroad is tenn
pOrarily suspended. During this heavy
weather General kuropatkin has been
busy inspecting the defenses Of An
Shau-Shan. Liau-DiaD-Sian eHd Anping.
IL is understood that the garrison OF
An-Shan-Shan consists OF only four d.
visions.

Newspaper Says Baths Are of No Avail
and That Three Months Absolute
Rest HaVa Been Ordered.

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-Reynolds' news
paper. the Socialist organ. states this
morning that rumors are again rife in
regard to the unsatisfactory condition
Of the Kings health.
Marlenbad. according to the news

that II was hoped II would have and the
Kings physicians are anxious. especial

ceeding himself. When his appointment
as warden Of the Cinque Ports was made

prev allied that Lord Curzon was to re-

this was not the Kings intention.
Lord Curzon viii return 10 his post

The entry OF the British expedition
TO Tibet. into Lassa. has greatly en-
HANGED the viceroy's prestige among
English politicians Of every class. who.
when the first fighting broke out in
Tibet were inclined 10 blame him for
having plunged the country into a use
less war.
But, while Lord Curzon IS popular
with his superiOrs. the reverse is true
with regard 10 his subordinates. He IS
the first yiceroy Of India who has really
lived Up TO his title. Most OF them
have been content to act simply as CO.

The claim was made that a conspiracy
