Mount Washington, N. H., July Ia
Twenty automobiles, including steam.

The route for to-day lay through

MAINE DEMOCRATS
IN SESSION TO-DAY

Wateyille, Me, July 14.-The SEN
tlment Of the delegates representing
the democrats Of Maine was divided
as they assembled here to-day for
their state convention, between Cy-
rus w. Davis, mayor of Waterville
and Samuel W. Gould Of Skowhegan
as a candidate for governor. Mayor
Davis was favored by many Of the
delegates. but he has repeatedly de-
clined to be candidate 1T was the
belief, however, that il Mr. Davis
could not be, prevailed upon to change
his decision that the nomination
would go by acclamation to Mr. Gould
who headed the ticket two years ago.
The platform was expected to fol-
low the st Louis platform on national
issues.
Only one or two Of the county dele
cations We're filed and the gallery

O'clock, the hour fixed for the conven-
ton to convene. At 1I:15 the chair

RUSSIA is ALL RIGHT.
Financial Attache RouskowsKy Says
First Loan is Intact Yet.

London. July I'm. Routhowslzy,
the financial attache of the Russian
embassy here, returned to London to-
day from st Petersburg, where he
conferred with Interior Minister
Plehwe and the minister of finance.
He said:
There Is absolutely no question OF
Russia floating another loan-none
whatever. My government is not in
need of money. lit has not touched
for military purposes a single franc of
the loan concluded in France some
time ago. Nearly all the money OBJ
tained by that loan lies to-day in
French banks. The remainder will
be used to meet interest payments on
previous loans. Since the commence
ment of the war p@ber notes have
been issued to the value of $55, 900, 900,
but this is more than covered by the
gold reserve. In consequence of de-
posits for tax payments. etc, the
amount of gold in the state bank is
increasing
1T is not true that M. Witte (pres-
Ident Of the council Of ministers), is
In Germany for the purpose of negoti-
ating loan. His sole mission is the
conclusion of the negotiations for a
commercial treaty, which have been
pending for some time. He and M.
Timiriaseff, the assistant minister of
finance, are now discussing the ques-
tion of mutual concessions. The
treaty will have no relation to any
other subject than commerce.
II know nothing of the report that
Jewish bankers have Informed Russia
that they will not participate in d loan
unless concessions are made to the
Jewish subjects of the emperor, but
attention should he called to the fact
that Jewish bankers did not partici-
pate openly in the loan hoated In
France, though / have learned since
that, finding 1T a good investment they
bought large blocks of bonds. AS Il
matter of fact measures have already
been taken for the relief of the Jews
and more are now under consideration.
In pursuance Of the emperOrs ukase OF
last year and without relation to the
war
II found in st Petersburg the ut
most confidence prevailing that Russia
finally will triumph over Japan.
left st Petersburg on the eve of the
arrival of Prince Hilkoff. minister of
railroads), from Manchuria, but / un-
derstand that the railroad capacity Is
twelve trains each way daily and that
soon it will be fourteen trains. Only
forty miles remain to be built in order
to connect the railroad around Lake
Baikal.
There is no question that Vice Adj
miral Rojestvensky's squadron will go
to the far east. In this connection |
may point out that the Japanese naval
successes thus far have proven bar
ren. as the Russian squadron at Port
Arthur is practically intact and able
to freely leave and ,re-enter the harbor
whenever Its commander deems 1t ex-
pedient.'

which the first committee had failed

vious appointment had been made for

After spending some time about the
saloons which they visited OH leave Of
absence from the post, they began to
shoot out street lamps and finally took
possession of five summer hotels
along the shore front.
Terrified guests were driven to their
rooms, where they barricaded the
doors. Mirrors, glasses and bottles
behind the bars were made targets.
One proprietor who demonstrated was
bound and thrust into a closet. After
amusing themselves for time the
men started for the dock two miles
away. Not one lamp was left un-
broken. Meantime a posse Of citizens
started in pursuit but the soldiers
reached their boats first and escaped.

Died in Switzerland Re-
mains Will be Buried in

Government Does Not OBJ
ject.

Clarens, Switzerland, July 14.--Paul
kruger, former president of the Trans
yaal Republic, died here at 8 o'clock
this morning from pneumonia and su-
peryening heart weakness. Mr. Kruger
lost consciousness Monday. His daugh-
ter and son-in-law were with him at
the time of his death. He had been
out only once since his removal nere, at
the beginning Of last month.
The ex-president's body was en-
balmed and this afternoon the remains
will be placed in vault pending flu
neral arrangements. Application will
be made to the British government for
authority to transport the remains to
the ITansvaal. In the meantime they
will be temporarily inferred here.
Mr. Kruger. who was staying at the
villa Du Boichet, had been gradually
failing for long time, but he was able
to attend to affairs, read the newspa-
pers and receive visits until Saturday.
Al change for the worse set in on Sun
day. he became unconscious Monday
and remained so until his death. Be
sides the Eloffs, Mr. Kruger was tended.

On several occasions Mr. Kruger had
expressed desire to be buried beside
his wife in his own country
Paris, July 14.-The death of the
former president of the Transvaal,
Paul Kruger, at Clarens, Switzerland,
aroused widespread regret here, owing
to French sympathy for the Boer
cause and personal admiration for the
ex-president. When he recently LETT
Mentone his health was gradually fall
ing through old age, constitutional dis-
orders and throat troubles, which
threatened to extend to the lungs.
However, his personal physician, DR.
Heymann, did not apprehend speedy
crisis and Mr. Kruger himself resisted
the idea that his physical powers We're
failing. and he had arranged to return
to Mentone next fall Nevertheless, his
near friends recognized that Mr hru-
gers once rugged constitution was
gradually going to pieces. Visitors de-
scribed him as being a pathetic hgure
of calm endurance. His eyesfgft had
dimmed, but he sat much at times Win
his Bible open before him, muttering
well known passages. He avoided reI-s
erences to the Boer war, but when lt
was occasionally mentioned he showed
no resentment and expressed the belief
that Providence would eventually rem
der Justice to the Boer cause.
Mr. Kruger received few visitors, but
waived his usual seclusion to permit
the presentation of the superb gift, the
cost of which was raised through popu-
lar subscription. expressive OF French
admiration. and he also received pri-
yate gifts, one being a considerable
legacy from Boer admirer. But be-
fore leaving Mentone he returned the
legacy to relatives of the deceased.

st Petersburg, July Il, 1.55 p. M
The general staff, although it has no
further news up to the present hour
of the reported japanese disaster at
Port Arthur, maintains that there is
no reason to doubt the fact that the
Japanese have suffered a substantial
repulse, pointing out that it is slgnifi-
cant If the report is untrue that no
denial has been issued from Toxic,
which did not hesitate to deny the
Russian reports of the loss of the bat
tleship Shikishima and the atrocity
stories. Experts who have carefully
studied the japanese methods are not
surprised that they should attempt to
storm without preliminary lombard
ment, such as lasted for three days
prior to the Russian assault on Plev-
Tia at the time OF the Russo-Turkish
war, and the still longer bombardment
of Sebastopol, the chief drawback or
a bombardlnent being that 1t warns
the garrison of what is coming. The
experts say the japanese may have
hoped to take the fortress by surprise
giving up the bombardment after
Rear Admiral Withoft's squadron
went out Saturday, and dismantled
their siege batteries.
An officer who has just returned
here from the front said to the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press that
the terrible losses reported to have
been sustained by the besiegers OF
Port Arthur were not unlikely in
view Of the extraordinary, almost
fanatical, determination of the Japan
ese, never hesitating before the most
terrible chances. Some of the forts
at Port Arthur are fronted by bitches
four and five fathoms deep hewn out
OF the solid rock. Whole regiments
could easily be engulfed in these
chasms.
The rumors emanating from Lon
don that Port Arthur has fallen rouse
only smiles from the Russian officers.
1t is now improbable that fighting
is now progressing at TIA Tche Kiao,
MS Russian advices show that the
Japanese were within q few miles of
that place, coming up in two columns
from the south on each side of the
railroad and in two columns from the
east on the Stu Yen roads. The ex-
LGllt Ol luc AuSSldn ISSIStdHCG VIII
probably be determined by the char
acter of General Kurokfs and Gener-
al Nodzu's advances on Hal Cheng.
"A large force of Japanese within
striking distance OF Hal Cheng would
render it impossible for the Russian
commander-in-chief to remain at TIA
Tche Kiao, in which event there will
be fight at Hai Cheng, the result of
which will be much more important
than the recent engagement at Kai
Chou.
The general staff denies that the
Russians were driven out Of. their in
trenchments at Sikseyan, or that Sc
we're fighting occurred at that place.
General ,Sakharoff reports that Jap
anese cavalry advancing July II to-
wards New Chwang encountered Rus
sian cavalry and that a slight skirm-
ish followed.

NEWS rs JOYFUL.

st Petersburg, July 14.-Under yester-
days date the correspondent Of the AS
sociated Press with the Russian head
quarters at Lao Yang, whose tele-
grams heretofore have been conserva-
tive and reliable, announces the recep-
tion here of the Joyful news of the
brilliant repulse OF the Japanese assault
upon Port Arthur, with loss of $4,000
men.
The correspondent says whole mass
es Of the enemy were blown up with
mines, and adds that the Russian losses
were 1,S00 and tnat Major General
Fock pursued the Japanese to the Nan
Ga pass.
The correspondent says the reports
are causing general rejoicing, and con-
cludes 1T is believed that General
Oku will now retreat to the south"
II is possible that the correspondent
is confusing Major General Fock's pur-
suit with the attack made by him July
3 on the Japanese right flank, when he
was also reported to have driven back
the enemy at Nan-Ga pass.
The popular jubilation in st Peters
burg over the reported great defeat Of
the Japanese before Port Arthur is
being chilled by the failure to clear up
the source of the reports. While eager
Iy expressing hope for direct oIncial
confirmation OF the news, the papers
