WILD RUMORS OF
WAR STARTLED THE
CITY THIS MORNING

The city was full of war ru-
mors this morning. The reports
varied in detail as they were
told and retold by interested
people. Considerable excite
ment was caused by the reports.
One rumor had it that hostili-
ties had actually occurred. The
Japanese and Russian forces
forces had clashed in Korea over
the refusal of the Japanese rail-
way to transport the detach-
ment Of Russian marines to
Seoul. Another rumor was that
war had been declared by Japan.
How the news of the alleged
outbreak of hostilities arrived
was also explained. 1t had come
by cable, of course, and the ca
BILE had been received by a ire
putable man." Another report
was that the cable had been re-
ceived by the Japanese consul
ate.
Those who We're unable to hear
any war rumors or too busy to
think out details of the report
ed war reassured themselves
with the declaration that "Of
course there is no war or the
whole town would have been
flooded with extra Stars long be-
fore this time"
And so the rumor flew. The
exact origin of the rumor does
not appear to be so certain.
There is reason for locating the
seat of the rumor at the Fish
market. Some Japanese fisher
man probably saw fleet of Por-
tuguese men-o'-war and got ex-
cited at once and declared that
Russia and Japan were having a
sea fight. There are so many
different kinds and varieties of
people at the fish market that it
is an easy thing to embellish
such a rumor, so by the time
bAoL bLG AGpOIL ldu iedcneQ
Fort street the two nations were
already reported to be in deadly
struggle.
Inquiry at the cable office re-
ceived the response that no in
formation on the subject had
been received officially whatever
might have been the contents Of
the private messages that had
passed over the company's lines.
The Japanese consul received
no adVices.
A later rumor was that Japan
had sent an ultimatum to Rus
sia giving the latter country "a
hours time in which to accede to
Japan's demands or else war
would be declared by Japan.

MURA KURIHARA TO JAIL FOR CONTEMPT FOR RE
FUSING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

In the trial of Tereyama this morn
ing, Judge Dole sent Mura Kurihara to
Jail for contempt for refusing to an
swer questions. Mura is said to have
been one of the women interested. She
was called by Breckons to testify as to
a marriage, and was given the usual
caution as to incriminating herself. She
told her age and name and then stop
ped, on being questioned as to where
she lived
She's been living in jail recently"
said her attorney, f. e. Thompson,
while the witness told the court that if
anything was wanted about her she
had an attorney and he would tell
Judge Dole told the woman that she
must answer the question, and she told
the court she would not do so, where
upon Dole made an order committing
her until tomorrow for contempt, and
the trial was adjourned for the day.

Hearst It is not believed that the cd itor candidate could control them for any other candidate, while it is evil dent that the quite large number from the northwest are ready to vote for Parker on the second ballot,
 The Parker opponents admit that the vigorous declarations of the Tammany leaders to the effect that Parker could not carry New York, seemingly have had little or no effect.
 The fact that the day has passed without bringing to the fore any figure around which the anti-Parker element seems able to rally, has taken a great deal of life out of the situa ton. While the contests over the plat form and second place on the ticket af- ford a great deal Of interest, they VII be fought out in the convention itself. A ma jority of the delegates and those who have come to see the convention and shout for their favorites are almost wholly interested in the head of the ticket. The result is that an air Cf apathy has pervaded the Hobbies and other places where the rank and file assemble.
 A final contest on the platform is as sured. No one as yet knows what the platform will be, but it known that the majority draft will prove unsat,s- factory to Bryan and his followers and there are enough of them to make an interesting fight on the floor of the convention hall The developments to- day before the national committee in- dicates th-t Bryan will be in evidence when the committee on credentials re- ports. In this connection considerable interest was expressed in the fact that the candidate for president in the l1so two campaigns should secure a proxy in the national convention for the pur- pose of chlmpiOning the contel tel cases.
 MT. Bryan was engaged during the day with callers, many of them repre- senting aspirants for the presid antiai nomination. He discussed the situa- ton with all of them, but commit d himself to none. Among his visitors were some members of the North Caro- lima delegation who insisted that MT. Bryan should state in definite terms whether it was his purpose to bolt the ticket in case it should not be to his liking. He only replied that he woull answer that question when the ticket was named.
 The selection by the commi tee cf John Sharp Williams for temporary chairman seems to give general s2tis- faction. No determination has been reached as to who the permanent chair man will be, but several prominent men have been suggested and probably all will be considered by the committee on permanent organization before se- lection is made.
 The exposition, summer Sarden en'' fourth of July celebrations and other attra ctions won out over politics largely today in the contest for the attention of the delegations. Every train brought hundreds of politicians. who, after talk possession of their hotel .accommodd- tions. pursued their individual tastes in seeking holiday pleasures.
