A former captain of the Russian

RUSSIAN SOLDIERS.
Incidents That Show Rare Personal
Courage and Patriotism.

There is a monument in Turkestan to
several Russian soldiers captured by
Turcomans in 1879. They were artillery
men, and their guns were captured with
them; so the Turcomans naturally or
dered them, on penalty of death, to
serve those guns against their own
comrades. Every man refused, choos-
ing death by horrible torture and dying
without mCrmur-
This passion for self-sacr-ifice is the
keynote of the Russian character and is
cultivated in the army by every posi-

told the story of that heroic company
of infantrynen in the Lonakin expedi-

moment threw themselves into a deep
ditch in order that the guns which We're
soreIy needed at the front might be
galloped over their bodies 1t is doubt
full whether this could have happened

Buzzard's Bay, Mass, July g.
Former President Grover Cleveland,
who is the guest of Joseph Jefferson
here, was notified of the nomination
of Judge Parker for president as
soon as he awoke this morning. Later
Mr. Cleveland sent the following
statement to the Associated Press.
Mr.. Cleveland declines to see any
reporter or any representative of the
press, but sends the following word
from his room to the Associated
Press:
Il am in absolute ignorance of the
action of the St Louis convention ex-

Parker as presidential candidate.
With the result I am abundantly
gratified and 1 hope that the remain

add to the encouraging prospects of
Democratic success This is all I can
possibly say at this time. 1 don't know
when 1 shall have an opportunity to
read the platform adopted or to learn
of the entire proceedings of the con-

certain that no further expression

Declines to Comment on St. Louis
Nomination or Platform.

Oyster Bay, L. L, July 9.-News of
the nomination by the St. Louis con-
vention of Judge Parker for the presi-
dency was communicated to President
Roosevelt at breakfast today by Secre-
tary Loeb The information was
given to the president by telephone
from the executive Offices in the vii
lage to Sycamore Hill, but he made
no comment on either the nomination
of Judge Parker or any other action
of the convention. What he may
have to say concerning the Democratic
platform and candidates probably will
be said in his letter of acceptance of
his own nomination by the Republican
party.
The president passed the day in his
library and about Sycamore Hill with
members of his family. No official
visitors were received.
