ON the 18th he left an unprotected
cruiser as a bait to draw the Russians
out The Russians fell into the trap
and came out, but when the full Jap
anese squadron compelled them to re-
treat they struck the hidden mines
The battleship Petropavlovsk was
sunk with nearly all on board and the
pobieda severely injured.
Early in May Togo succeeded in his
third Hobson attempt Nine merchant
ships laden with stone were sunk in
the entrance to the harbor, preventing
the ships from within from coming out
AS soon as these obstacles were placed
the second and third Japanese armies
rushed upon their transports and were
landed, one at Pitsewo above Port
Arthur, and the other at Takushan
Later the Russians managed to blow
out the obstacles, but their fleet had
been neutralized at the critical moment
when the transports were on the seas.
Future history recording these OK
ploits will enroll the japanese name of
Togo as high as the highest on her
short list of great naval captains. III
the beginning of the war observers
made the mistake of believing that
Togo was Japanese admiral. He Is
not. He is a military genius Of the
sort which but seldom in the annals of
any one country blazes across the
pages Of history. Japan has only one

squadron would be about three-fourths
destroyed by this time

After the battle Of Telissu 1t became
apparent to the Russians in Port
Arthur that they could not hope for
relief. When the place should fall the
ships then in the harbor must either
be surrendered or destroyed. Accord
ingly the Muscoyite admiral deter
mined to make a run for 1t and either
die fighting or escape. Even If he died
lighting he probably would injure the
Japanese ships.
Togo's patrol, which doesn't seem to
have let many of the Russian move
ments escape 1T, reported that on Tues
day last a large part of the Russian
of Port Arthur. Togo at once guessed
that a sortie would be attempted after
nightfall. Then the Japanese com
mander moved more quickly than the
Russian Darkness fell, but before the
Russian squadron was under way the
Japanese torpedo boats had rushed in,
sunk the Peresyiet, and disabled the
Sevastopol.
The Peresviet was one Of the finest
Russian modern warships, having
displacement of 12,G74 tons, speed of
IS knots, and an armament of four
10 inch, eleven inch, and sixteen
inch guns. The Sevastopol has ton
mage of 1860 tons, a speed of 10
knots, and a battery of four - inch
and twelve so inch rifles
Up to date Togo has lost one battle
ship, the Hatsuse, and one cruiser, the
Yoshino. To offset these losses he has
inflicted the following injuries upon
the Russians: Two days after the war
began his torpedo boats severely in
jured the battleships Czarevitch and
Retvisan and the cruiser Pallada. The
following day the Russian feet went
out to battle, but was compelled to re-
turn with water line holes in the bat
tleshp Poltava and the cruisers Diana,
Askold and Noyik.
The same day the gunboat Korietz
and the cruiser Variag were destroyed
at Chemulpo by Admiral Uriu, one Of
TOgo's chief lieutenants.

War News in Brief.

1t is reported that Edward +. Knight,
the correspondent of the London Morn
ing Post with the Japanese army, was
killed at Wafangtien.
III. J. Middleton, the Associated Press
correspondent with the Russian head
quarters near Liaoyang, in Manchuria,
died Sunday from enteric dysentery.
Later details Of the naval battle off
Port Arthur show that the japanese tor
pedo boats defed the broadsides Of the
Russian fleet sailing boldly up to the
battleships and launching their torpedoes
with deadly effect
Defeat of the Russian army near
Tatchekiao is reported in st. Petersburg,
but confirmation cannot be obtained.
Gen., Oku's forces are said to be with
drawing from the position they have held,
but military experts think this may con-
ceal a movement in another direction.
The st. Petersburg Novoe vremya,
calling attention to the statement that
Don jaime de Bourbon was an eye wit
ness to the killing Of Russian wounded
at Vafangow, declares that something
must be done quickly to prevent the war
degenerating into the senseless brutality
which the japanese practices indicate.

United States. He was followed in
seconding speeches by Senator Albert
J. Beveridge of Indiana, George A.
Knight of California, Harry Stillwell
Edwards of Georgia, Joseph B. Cotton
of Minnesota and Harry S. Cummings
Of Maryland, the latter leader Of the
colored people. Under the rules a roll
call was required which showed the
nomination to be harmonious after
which the friends and admirers Of the
President gave full vent to their lung
power.
Even before the word Roosevelt
was uttered by Governor Black the
delegates We're on their feet, bracing
themselves for demonstration. The
New York delegation was the center
of the noise, and used every device
known to excitement invitors to keep
up the cheering orgies. With the APP
pearance of the huge crayon of the
President there went up from the main
floor vocal roar that perhaps was
never equaled in political gathering.

Of 1904. The demonstration lasted
fully twenty minutes.
The nomina ton for the Vice Presi-

Of Iowa placed Senator Fairbanks In
nomination. He was followed in sec

Pennsylvania, Senator DepeW Of New
York, Senator Foraker of Ohio and
former Senator Thomas Carter Of Mon

When the roll call of the States for
the vice presidential nomination was
begun Alabama passed her right to
suggest q name on to Iowa, and Sen
ator Dolliver, amid Whirlwind of ap-

Charles Warren Fairbanks. The Iowa
senator's naming of Fairbanks was
the signal for a riot Of noise, only sec

The roll call for the vice presidential
nomination was dispensed with, and
Fairbanks was made the running mate

PROGRESS ERQDGI OF THE MAR MAR

The fact that the reports Of the bat
tie Of Telissu were signed by Oku docs
not indicate that that general had
withdrawn his force from It's objective
Port Arthur. It more likely means
that the Japanese staff wants TO make
the Russians think that this has been
done.
Probably Gen. Nodzu was in COM
mand at the battle Of Telissu. Nodzu
ranks first among the four japanese
generals, Oku being second, ana
Kuroki third Above these three gen
erals are the two field marshals, Yam
agata first and Oyama second. 1t Is
now announced that Oyama has been
sent to take command in person III the
field
While Nodzu's forces are in the
neighborhood Of Kaichou, kurohs
outposts are advancing over three
roads to Kaichou, Tatchekiao, ana
Raicheng respectively. These outposts
form a screen. The Russians don't
know and the world doesn't know
whether behind this screen Kuroki's
army is advancing in three equal parts
over these three roads or whether his
main strength Is being directed in
along but one of them. The seeming
tendency Of the last week has been
for Kuroki to edge further southwark,
getting nearer the Takushan position
vacated by Nodzu.
For some time the japanese have
been endeavoring to convey the I'M
preston that Kuroki intends to swing
around to the north. Therefore 1t is
probable THAT he never at any time
entertained such an intention.

AGE OF POLITICAL PARTIES.
Republican Party Is Fifty Years Old
Democratic Party Born in 1902.


Democratic Party Born in 1902.
Fifty years ago this summer the Re
publican party was born. Authorities
differ as TO the exact date and place of
the birth, doubtless because the union Of
anti-slavery people was progressing indie
pendently in various parts of the coun-
try ut the same time.
The Democratic party, with some
changes in the name, dates from 1902.
Then it was known as the Republican
party, and opposed the Federalists under
the lead of Hamilton. In 1903 it assum-
ed the name "DemocraticR Republican"
by which it is still designated in the
platforms Of Tammany in New York.
The party divided in 1923, and the op-
ponents of Gen. Jackson gradually form
ed themselves into a new organization,
under the name Of National Republicans
The party in power ultimately dropped
the word Republican, and became simply
the Democratic party, name which it
has ever since retained.
When the slavery issue cut across all
party lines and a new party was formed
in 1854, the name Republican was Sc
lected, it is said, in the hope that it
would appeal to the anti-slavery mem
bers of the old Democratic-Re Republican
and National Republican parties.
The Wings did not appear in a ma
tional election until 1886. The party
was crushed and dispersed by its defeat
in 1862, and was succeeded. by the Amer
lean, or Know-Nothing, party. The Abb
olitionists and Free-soilers, under vari-
Gus names, organized and nominated can
didates for President between 1889 and
1856, when the new Republican party
entered the field with John G. Fremont
as it's STANDARD bearer"
Since 1856 ten or fifteen new parties
have arisen, lived a while and died
None of them save the Prohibitionist
party has survived more than three pres
dental elections. In 1900 eight par
ties strove for the presidency. Six Of
them failed to win a single electoral
vote. Indeed, since Lincoln's second
election the Peoples, better known as
the Populist party, is the only third
party" which has succeeded in choosing
any electors.

campaign thunder in large chunks was
launched in the nomination speeches
before the convention.
With every contested detail adjust
ed the Republican convention, after
only two days of harmonious sessions
had nothing to do except to go through
the form of nominating Theodore
Roosevelt of New York for PRESIDENT
and Charles Warren Fairbanks Of In
diana for Vice President. The plat
form had been adopted, the contests
for individual seats had been settled,
the other candidates for Vice Presi-
dent had been withdrawn, and moth
ing remained except to make the NOM
mating speeches and to choose the
standard bearers by reclamation.
Mr.. Hit of Illinois, the only out
spoken competitor of Senator Fair
banks who had any chance of vic
tory, was withdrawn from the fight
at his own request The other minor
candidates followed suit, and so the
situation gradually settled itself to the
point where only nominating speeches
were left to occupy the attention Of
the delegates.
Former Governor Black Of New
York made the speech nominating The

tried to draw Kuropatkin as far south
as possible, holding out MS an incentive
n check to the advance of Oku's main
army. Meantime Oku swung sharply to
the eastward to join Kuroki toward the
Chapan pass, Kuroki at the same time

toward Haicheng.
The main japanese advance continues
along the main Feng-W Wang Cheng Lao
Yang road. avoiding the MaoTien pass
by detour to the northward. The adj
vance in all points is being attended by
constant skirmishing. Nothing is known
OF the exact point at which Kuropatkin's
main force is concentrated though it is
believed that a large part of the Lao
Yang force has been moved to a point
between Kin-Chau and Ta-Tche- Kiao.
According to dispatch from Ta-Tche-
Kiao a large force had pushed southwark
from that place against Oku. While Ku-
ropatkin Is thus extending himself, the
Japanese, with great mobility, seem to
be trying to concentrate for the purpose
of striking the Russians in the flank and

RECALLS FOUL CRIME.
JTGERT SAUSAGE FACTORY
IN CHICAGO BURNS.
Building in Which Man is Thought
to Have Murdered His Wife and De-
stroyed Her Body in Vat-Fata1 Fight
in Street.

The big sausage factory in Chicago in
which Adolph Luetgert is supposed to
have killed his wife in 1897 and dissolv-
ed her body in a vat Of acid, was prac-
ideally destroyed by fire Sunday. The
loss Is estimated at 100000 mostly on
the stock, which consisted Of stores Of the
Library Bureau Company. The struc-
ture and stock carried $4,000 insur-
ance. The spectacle Of the old sausage
factory, Of which so many grewsome
tales are told and by which the timid
have passed in fear and trembling after
dark, enveloped In clouds of the black
est smoke, with here and there burst OF
fame, drew over 10000 persons to the
scene. Luetgert's factory, as it has al
ways been called, stood at hermitage
and Diversey avenues. When the ponce
charged Luetgert with numbering his
vito aud throwing her body into saul
sage vat on tho night of May ], 1897, the
mystery Immediately gained great promi-
nence. He was sentenced to life impris-
onment and died Of heart disease in July,
1890. Charles Westerholm was the only
person III tho building at the time the fire
started. He had started fires in the boil
ers and then gone to the fourth floor.
On his return to the ground floor he
found it ablaze and hurriedly turned in
an alarm. A general alarm followed and
then came special calls for engines and
police. The Library Bureau leased the
building in April of last year. 1t had
remained unoccupied since the Luetgert
days. The origin of the fire is mys-
terry, just as everything about the build
ing has been.
