by inquiries, and shortly after 3
O'Clock this morning Senator Jones
of Arkansas sent for him to take
part in an important conference,
while he has a number of other con-
ferences planned for today.

especially the Parkerites, claim not

the committeemap with the lighted
cigar in his mouth unrolled a large
paper balloon, and, standing within
six or eight feet Of the nearest ex-
posed explosives, lighted the sponge
and tried to initiate the bal oon. The
effort was unsuccessful, the balloon

Just as IL left the earth.
In the meantime, other commit

firing batteries, rockets, etc. within
a few feet Of the explosives lying
under the two locust trees, WITH
THE WIND BLOWING BRISKLY
TOWARDS THE TREES, so that
sparks would be carried towards
them.
When the editor of The Times saw
these preparations for trouble he
moved away, as did many others, but
newcomers speedily filled the gaps,
not having witnessed the criminal
carelessness of the firing squad.
The Accident Occurs.
A few rockets aud several bat
teries had been discharged when the

shower Of sparks fell upon the
exposed mass of fireworks. and al
most instantly they began to explode.
Inside of ten seconds the whole area
was mass of shooting fire. Great
rockets with sticks eight feet long
came shrielting and exploding among
the packed mass of spectators, while
he batteries, lying at all angles upon
the grass, joined in the lombard
ment.
Men, women and children were
struck, some in their faces and
others in the. back, as they started,
panic-stTicken, to run.

have called, the former for advice
and to swear fealty, the latter to

400 Pledges Against Parker.
1t is confidently announced that
400 voters are in the combine, all
pledged against Parker on the first
and second ballots. The pact does
not extend beyond that period, but
the antis declare they are just as
skillful in the political game as their
opponents, and with this foothold
they believe they will be able to de-
feat Parker. They say the future
will take care of itself and declare
that the Gotham jurist is now in his
most dangerous position, being with
in striking distance of the goal and
yet not able to clinch it.

The most beautiful spectacle ever
seen upon the streets of Tacoma was
the Rose Carnival parade this after
noon.
The brightness of an ideal day lent
it's charm to the moving floral
pageant, which was further enhanced
in attractiveness by scores of faces
of Tacomas fairest daughters, sitting
in embowered floral state in their
chariots of roses.
The parade also included a strong
representation of the army and naval
officers of the United States, who
appeared in full uniform, riding in
gaily decorated carriages. Girls and
boys on horseback, decorated with
flowers, and a number Of attractive
floral floats, with charming girls for
center pieces; also well known cltl-
zens in behowered vehicles of all de-
scriptions, made up the cortege
which followed the queen and her
court.
The parade was late in moving,
owing to a delay in the arrival of
some of the carriages, but when the
start was finally made, shortly after
2 o'clock, everything was in fautless
shape.
Throngs of Sightseers.
Vast crowds of people lined the
streets along which the parade pass
ed, cheering the participants in the
most enthusiastic fashion Queen
Pauline received a continuous ova-
tion and bowed and smiled gracious
ly to the applauding thousands.
The ladies of her court, in their
flower covered carriages, attired In
exquisite costumes, also attracted
great attention and we're vigorously
applauded. 1t was hard TO say which
carriage appeared most attractive.

Parker Men Amazed.

ST LOUIS, July 5.-When the
anti-Parker leaders learned today
that it was known that they had
signed an agreement to stand to-
gether against Parker they only ad-
mitted the existence of such a docu-
ment. The Parker leaders were
amazed at the adroitness of the
move.
All Join Against New Yorker.
1t is declared that the leaders for
favorite sons have signed a pact as
follows:
"Pettigrew, for Hearst; Salisbury,
for Gray; Cleveland, of Cincinnati,
for Harmon; Stone, for Cockrell, and
the authorized leaders of Massachu-
setts and Wisconsin for Olney and
Wall
Those i'm the Combine.
These are the states claimed to be
represented in the pact: California,
20 votes; Colorado 10, Delaware C,
Florida 81, Idaho 6, Illinois 54,

It was noticed that all the shells exploded.
 The more the enemy bomharded the more we are convinced that 1t will be im- possible for the Japanese to take Port Arthur.

 Witness. said that the Japanese fire. which was indifferent in previous attacks, showed marvellous accuracy. The fire came from the direction of Pigeon Bay. where the Russians reported sighting double the previous number of Japanese vessels. and 1t is supposed that trans ports of various kinds accompany the fleet.
 It is reported that the Retvlzan. which. 1t is said, was then Inside the entrance of the haFbor, was struck several times. and that there were fatalities among the crew It is also said that the Golden Hill forts were damaged and that there were many casualties among the remains ing non-combatants in the new town which suffered most. One building in the rear of the war bureau was destroyed and elsewhere shell annihilated q family.
 The Russians are suppreesing the cir culation of foreign newspapers and any person suspected of being a correspond ent Is ordered out of their lines.

 St. Petersburg. March l2.-rhe follow ing reply, inspired by the Foreign Office 60 Japan's rejoinder to the Russian pro test against the violation of Korean neu trality. may be accepted as official:
 "Japan's argument tbat she was justi- fied in landing troops in Korea befo;e e inc declaration of war because she had Korea's permission. and also that these troops arrived in Korea after the exist ence of a state of war, is without value. as Korea in January promulgated. her neutrality to the great powers, which re- ceived it warmly, Great Britain even ofIi- cialIy conveying expressions of gratitude 10 the Korean Government Therefore. no state of war gave the Japanese the right to viol1te her neutrality by landing troops in her territory. Even the consent of Korea. though cxtorted by the Japan csc, is without force, from the fact t:.A. the dispatch of troops was not only be- fore the war, but before the breaking eff of diplomatic relations. as clearly es. tablished and, indeed acknowledged by the Japanese themselves.
 "Japan's contention in defense of the attack on the Russian ships at ChemuI- DO, that the port was not neutral Febr d- ary g. fails again because Korea had proclaimed her neutrality.
 "Japan's denial of malicious interfer- ence with the transmission of Russis.l telegrams over the Danish cable cannot re sustained.
