No Confirmation Carnage at Takts-
ShaH-The End Near.

LondOu Aug. 12-Rumors that Port Arthur
has fallen again current. but apparently
there is no further warrant for them than on
previous occasions. 1t is regarded as impossible
that Port Arthur hold out much longer,
but there is no further news concerning the
fortress or the fate of the Port Arthur squadron
beyond the arrival of the warships at KiaO-
Chau.
According to the Che-Foo correspondent Of
The Daily Telegraph the Japanese tried TO
blow up the Russian destroyer Ryeshitelni. and
the crew had to swim for their lives.
The same correspondent says that General
StoesseI. personally commanded the Russian
forces in the tight for the possession Of Talu
Mountain, which was accompanied by fearful
carnage. The correspondent adds:
The Russians are short of ammunition and
the garrison is exhausted by incessant fighting.
If the Japanese continue their assaults With
fresh troops the worst must happen.

QUIET PLAY FOR WALL ST.
That Is an ETplanatiop of Parker's
Gold Interpolation.
PRESS COPIES WERE MILD.

PRESS COPIES WERE MILD.
Why did Judge Parker make an Interpolation
In his speech of acceptance and not have it in
corporated in the official copy Of his utterances
sent to the press associations?
This is the question that set tongues wagging
around the Hoffman House and the Fifth Ave-
Hotel last night Those who noticed the
candidate in delivering his speech stop long
enough 10 make an Interpolation on the gold
standard searched in vain in the so-caTed off,
ciar' record of his speech for what he inter
polated.
What he interposted not only is likely to set
the Bryan men ny the ears. but it puts ex-Sen-
ator Hill in a peculiar light. Here is what
Judge Parker interpolated, according TO several
newspaper men who stood within six feet Of him
and took notes Of what he said:
want my position on this question thor
ougly understood. I thought IL was understood
before I sent my telegram TO the 81. Louis con-
veutlon. But in order that there may be no
misunderstanding in the future. I desire TO
iterate on this occasion that I unalterably.
irrevocably and heartily opposed to any change
in the existing money standard.
Mr. Parker. on his own declaration. voted
talre for free silver, and David r. Hnl one of
his most intimate friends. when asked in the
committee on resolutions at 81. Louis by Will
lam :. Bryan with reference 10 Mr.. Parker's
views said that he did rot know what Mr
Parker's views the money question were.
Now. the question naturally arises: If, as
he says he wanted his position on the gold
question thoroughly understood. why did he
not have his Interpolation sent out I'm the on
cial" copy OF his remarks?
There can be no doubt whatever that the
judge uttered the sentence attributed TO him.
He was reported in three four evening news
papers on Wednesday making the tnterpola
tion there being just enough variation I'm the
several reports TO make the proof absolute that
he INDUCED In this extraordinary emphasis with
reference 20 the gold standard. Tribune
porter Yesterday talked with three men who
stood near Judge Parker and heard him make
the remark quoted.
Naturally the RepubUcaa politicians do not
propose to allow "a double shUfhng of that sort
to go uuchallenEed. They see a strong proba-
bility that Mr.. Parker's ultra gold standard

when subscriptions asked for. while at the
same time the "eXpurgated" version of his views
