ST. Louis, July. 1.-The second day
Of the Democratic national convention
was divided into two sessions, most of
the time being spent in waiting for

several speeches were made, chief OF
which was William ]. Bryan's effort
to overthrow the report of the creden-
tials committee and seat contesting
delegates from Illinois. The contro.
versy was ended by the rejection of
the minority report Of the committee
by q vote Of CAT nays to 299 ayes.

Kaiping (Kaichou) last Friday, driv.

Their forces consisted of over 10000
men. In his report of the engagement
General Oku does not give any details,
but shows the difficulties of the strug-
gle.
The operations began last Wednes-
day by the Japanese driving 1000 Rus.

Russians evidently saw the town was
doomed, as General Oku reports that
many troops were withdrawn during

took position on the tops of the high
prec1pices. and again offered stub
born resistance. About noon they
were forced to again withdraw, the
Japanese occupying the last line Of

The ramidcations of the Parker
cause celebre occupied the time of
Judge Gear again yesterday. The long
list of attorneys pro and con. argued
technicalities, the lawyers listening to
the phases of the case with absorbed
interest.
A motion for a bill of particulars as
to charges made against Carter in his
management of the ranch affairs was
cussion over exception made to the all
legged scandal and impertinence said to
be contained in afhdavits filed by Par
ker, Wundenberg and Low.

Important papers, the loss of which
may mean new trial with consequent
expense to the Governments, are said to
be missing or stolen in the Funokochi
case and as the Attorney Generals de-
partn1ent is after the responsible individ-
uals and the case is serious oae. in
teresting developments may follow.
Funokochi was convicted of murder in
Hilo and further charge with conspiring
to murder in second case Attorney
Biting was appointed for him as coun-
sci and the record of the conviction on
the first charge brought from Hilo.
These papers were, it is said, returned
to Hilo but they are now not to be
found while Funokochi's attorney now
asks for new trial as the records of
the former trial do not exist.
Attorney General Andrews comments
forcibly on the failure of those charged
with the safe keeping OF the papers to
keep their trust He does not think a
new trial should be granted as the de-
tense not the prosecution asked for the
records and not getting a copy of them
are responsible fer the risk.

ANSWER TO SAM PARKER

THE HAMAKUA DITCH MATTER
That in reference to the application
of the Hamakua Ditch Company to this
defendant for a right of way across
Paauhau, defendant says:
That one, J. T. McCrosson, one Of
the promoters of said ditch company,
came TO this defendant shortly before
this defendant gave Samuel Parker q
hgure that he would give for said
Samuel Parker's interest in said ranch,
and asked defendant for right of
way across Paauhau for the ditch that
the Hamakua Ditch Company con-
ternplated building; that this was the
first time defendant had been approach
ed for any such object by any one and
said defendant declined to consent as
he was then negotiating for the sale
of Paauhau and did not care for that
reason to go into the question of the
right of way for the ditch and for the
further reason that the right of way
should not under any circumstances be
granted hurriedly or without investiga-
ton, and that if Paauhau was to be
retained by said minor and was not
sold to the Paauhau Plantation Com
pany that said right of way would have
to be carefully worded so as to secure
L
pie rights to water from said ditch;
SO that said land of Paauhau could not
be cut off from rights to water in said
ditch and thereby handicapped in it's
value as against other neighboring
lands which might secure water right
in said ditch to the exclusion of the
said land of Paauhau; and this defend
ant submits that he would have been
foolhardy and utterly reckless of the
rights and interests of said minor to
have acquiesced to the demands of Nc
Crosson for immediate consent TO the
granting of said right of way, and I'M
wise for him to even open negotiations
with said McCrosson until the ultimate
disposition of Paauhau had been de-
termined, as if Paauhau was sold TO the
Paauhau Plantation Company they
would be the proper parties for Nc
Crosson to negotiate with, and if said
land was not sold to the Paauhau
Plantation Company, then that this de-
PENDANT would have to make a careful
study of the whole situation before he
was in position to negotiate with
said McCrosson and to state upon
what terms and conditions and with
what safeguards to the land of Paau-
nau said right of way would be
granted
