LEASE PROPOSALS COMING.
Parties ExDected to Come Here in a
Few Days and Submit New Bids
for a. * n. G. Road.

Governor Aycock being away, there
have no new propositions of lease of
the A. & n. G. been submitted since
the bars have been let down by nunC
pro tune.
1t is understood in reliable quarters,
however, that the Philadelphia Syndl-
cate will now proceed either to perfect
the bid that they have already filed
with the Governor or submit new
proposition.
1t is also learned that several other
pared to be filed before the meeting
Of the roads stockholders next Sep
TENDER.
1t is definitely learned that one other
bid in particular, which is backed by
North Carolinians, Will be submitted
probably next week, the legal repre-
sentative of this syndicate having al
ready arranged to come to Raleigh III
a few days to look into the matter.
Before the nunc pro tune order it
was generally understood by ali par
ties interested in the road that no new
bids would be considered until the
Federal court litigation came to an
end, which in the ordinary course of
events would not be until February.
The Circuit Court to which the order
for a receivership has been appealed
meets in Richmond the second week
in November, and, except in matters
where great injury would be worked
by delay the decisions of that court on
matters heard at the November term
are not handed down until February
AS Chief Justice FulIer's supersedeas
left the property in the hands of the
State pending its appeal there would
be no reason why the Circuit Court
should hasten its opinion in the case
Therefore the bidders have been idle in
perfecting their plans until the nunC
pro tune opened the door.

enacting into laws hybrid bills con-
cocted beyond the limits of the State,
with the intent not to relieve, but 10
deceive the people. We condemn the
same as hypocritical, futile and ex.-
travagant.
6. We declare that the Democratic
party, now, as it always has been, Is IN
favor of a uniform system OF taXatlon,
so arranged as that it will bear equally
upon all persons and property alike,
and that equal and exact justice may
be done to ALL with special privileges
and exemptions from such burdens to
none, and that equality of right with
equality to burden may prevail. But,
believing the objects may not be at
tanned in the fullest and fairest sense
under the present constitution, we ap-
prove the enactment of a law pro-
viding for a call for a convention TO
frame a new constitution for the
State, to the end that the people
thereof may vote upon and decide the
question here involved in accordance
with their wishes and best judgment.
7. We recognize that capital and Ia
Dor are dependent upon each other,
and that each has sacred rights which
are entitled to and must have equal
protection before the law.
8. To the accomplishment of these
enuS, the cooperation OF all patriotic
citizens is, regardless of past or pres
ent party affiliations, most cordially
invited and their contamination In
the event OF a Democratic success is
in good faith promised.
The Evening Session.
At the evening session William @.
Peterkin was nominated for Secretary
of State: j. S. Mansfield for auditor;
Lawrence A. Reymann for attorney
general, and M. d. Helnuck for super
intendent of schools.
On motion of Colonel McGraw the
chairman of the convention was d-
rected to telegraph greeting to Judge
Parker and pledge him the electoral
vote OF West Virginia.

Sakharoff's Report of Slaughter.
(y the Associated PressD


st. Petersburg, August 4.-General
Sakharoif reports that 20 officers and
over thousand men were killed or
wounded in the engagements of July
30 and July 81 and that six guns were
abandoned.
General SakharoffS report gives
details of the fighting about Dapoutza
as transmitted by General Zassaitch,
who says the operations were not de-
cisiVe. The battle, the report says
began under favorable auspices for
the Russians, their artillery being su-
periOr, but later the Japanese COM
PEELED the evacuation of three crests
of the mountain range. General Zas-
salitch's report continues
"At 4:30 p. m. 1 received a report
that a regiment posted at the ex-
IRENE right flank had retired from it's
position in the mountains having had
it's flank turned. Six disabled guns
were abandoned! Two officers were
killed and two wounded and the COM
mander of a battery was injured.
Before this had happened the Jap
anese had placed two more batteries
on the left of those who had previous
Iy taken up their position there and
with their batteries on the extreme
left they began to lombard our bat
terry as well as to enfilade the right
flank of our formation. This was the
cause of the destruction of our bat
on our right flank
'"The battery was completely shat
tered but at the beginning of the ac-
ton we succeeded in saving four guns
while four others were left on the field
completely disabled. OF these four,
hoEever two had to be spiked and
abandoned owing to lack OF horses.
The Offensive Assumed.
with the view of distracting the at
tention of the Japanese from our right
flank / directed Colonel Lepovatz at
five o'clock when the heat had dlmin-
ished. to order the soldiers to take
off their equipment and assume the
offensive.
"To support this offensive movement
I ordered our batteries to open a hot
fire on the ridges held by the Japa-
nesc The fire of our guns which had
previously bombarded this point, was
murderous and the Japanese again
sustained many killed or wounded.
"Our attack in open order aston
ished all beholderS. Our men IN TINS
formation advanced swiftly across the
principal mountain range, rushlnS on
both sides with fixed bayonets.
"They were unable to sustain the
shock and quickly evacuated the three
crests they had occupied. / am in
formed by MAJOR Lordkipanltze that
those who remained were bayoneteu:
after this brilliant affair ordered
Colonel Lepovatz to stop and push no
further. At Z O'Clock 1 received an
order to retire in the direction Oh
Haicheng. .,
"Our losses on July 80 and July u
have been up to the present estimated
at 80 officers and slightly over one
thousand men killed or wounded.

Hating to Bring Up Supplies.

St Petersburg, Aug. $50 a. m.
The fact that there is no further
news from the front beyond General
ZassaIitch's account of the fighting al
Simoucheng on July 81. bears out
the Associated Press explanation that
the japanese are hating to bring up
supplies, especially ammunition, OF
which a modern engagement entails
an extravagant expenditure and with
ouJ which 1t would be impossible even
for a victorious army to follow up its
success.
The receipt Of General Zassalitch &
dispatch today gave rise to extrava-
CANT rumors of further fighting
around Haicheng, and several press
dispatches were sent off describing a
fresh battle between the forces OF
General Zassalitch and General Oku.

HOW keller STARTED
Was Traded OFF For Treadway
Who Played With Seattle
Last Season.

In speaking of the discovery Of Willie
Keeier, d fan stated the other day that
the great little infielder was found BY
Gus Moran.
Gus Moran. who handled the indi-
Gator for the National league last sea-
son, claims the distinction Of starting
Willie Keller on his professional ca
reer on the diamond. Baseball enthu-
siasts with long memories will probably
recall that New York bought Keeler
from Binghamton, played him in a few
games during the season of 1893 and
then let him go to Brooklyn. from
which club HanlOn got him for the
BaitmoreS. Many persons, however,
may not know how Keller came to be
a member Of the Binghamtons. and.
therefore, the following from Moran
viii prove interesting:
I am responsible for Billy KeeIer's
professional career. If John Rainey
had not broken his leg while with
Binghamton in 1892 Keeler might not
have had the chance TO break into the
game so soon I was with Bingham
ton that year, and after the mishap to
Rainey, Frank Leonard, our mana ger.
asked everybody on the team to recon-
mend an infielder to him. told him
about Keller. who was then with the
AGNES Of New York. and advised him
to go to Long Island the next day 70
see him play. Leonard sent the secre-
tary Of the club and another scout.
They saw Keller play against the
CubaH Giants and brought him back
with them. He was put al short
against Syracuse in his first game and
he COPIED four hits off Meekin After
the game Leonard came to me and
said: Gus, are there any more Keel
ers lying around loose in New York .
Keller led the New York state league
in hitting that season with 81, and
the New IOrks gave 81 1000 for his re-
lease, later letting him go 10 Brooklyn.
with Dan BroutheTs, for Treadway and
Billy Shindle. Big Dan is in retire
ment, Shindle and TTeadway are in a
minor league, but Keller still is a
