Gtns, Kuroki and Oku May Both
 Fight kurOpatkin
BEFORE HE IS REINFORCED
There is Rumor In St. Petersburg That Battle Is Actually Proceeding at Hai Cheng and That Heavy
 Losses Have Resulted.

St. Petersburg, June 2o-The general staff believes 1t probable that General Kuroki and General Oku are meditating a combined attack upon General Kuro- patkin before he is further reinforced. In order to do this, they must act before the rainy season which is imminent.
 The war office points out, that since it was General Oku, not General Nodzu, who fought Lieutenant General Baron Stalk elberg's army at Vafangow, and that since General Oku recently has been di- recting the siege operations against Port Arthur the siege seems to have taken second place in the plans of the Japanese There is a rumor in St. Petersburg to- night that a battle at Hai Cheng Is &C., tually proceeding and that there have been heavy losses on both sides. There is, however no confirmation of the rumor
 It has developed that the Japanese at Vafangow had accurate topograp phical map of the whole battlefield, and that their batteries were called by telephone.

NEW YORK'S VOTE MAKES
 FAIRBANKS A CERTAINTY

ed at Senator Fairbanks because of his failure to definitely decalre his position. All that has been possible to obtain from him, was a statement that he did not consider the honor one which man should seek or decline, and that If the party wanted him and considered him, he would accept, although he was not a candidate, and would not allow the ln- diana delegation to express itself in favor of his nomination. This attitude seemed to irritate some of the leaders, who saw no reason why the senator should not come squarely out with for nal statement.
 Indiana, acting upon the wishes of the senator, will not present his name, but it Is expected that other states are ready to do so. Possibly, the nomination will come from Alabama, the first state on the roll

Chicago. June 20--The nomination of Senator Charles w. Fairbanks Tor vice president was regarded as settled tonight when New York decided to cast her sev- enty-eight votes for him. While 1t has seemed a foregone conclusion for some time the Indiana senator would be MT. Roosevelt's mate, there have been eff forts to bring out other candidates and start stampede of delegates for some other man. These attempts have failed almost in their Inception and it early became apparent that Fairbanks was the choice of most of the delegates. New York's action was more formal than that of other states, and practically settled all doubt, even among those who were opposed to the Indiana man.
 Considerable criticism has been direct

 Warmoth of Louisiana Is In charge of this campaign, and an elaborate brief was brought forth today to make history in the case.
 Governor Warmoth is authority for the statement that National Committeeman Harry S. New told the national committee that Indiana would be lost to the repub- licans if this lilly white movement was seated. It was found difficult to combat the effect this statement has made on the minds of men who will make up the cre- dentals committee.
 The temporarily successful faction went before the national committee with the charge that the lilly whites were pledged to exclude the negro from politlcs wherever possible. This statement will be combatted with vigor, showing numer- ous instances where colored office-holders are now drawing federal salaries on lily white recommendations. Counter charges of disloyalty to party will be brought against the so-called '.black and tan del- eGation
