around the city were dotted with jets
Of flame and little black and white
clouds. The spectacle was clearly Wis

to the Russian center, where the Japan

and climbed the neighboring heights,
following a detachment sent to relieve
the skirmishers who had been covering
the battery commanded by Pokotiloff,
one of the heros of Kiulien Cheng. The
Japanese according to Cuvoma were
shelling the places where they believed
the Russian Reserves were located.
Before the correspondent could reach
the battery he had to cross a danger

and bursting on it until the very ground

JUDGE PARktR'S BOOM
SOON TO Be LAUGHED
Will Be Announced as Candidate 70,
President at a Luncheon to Be

NEW YORK, Feb. "a morning pa

in a formal manner. In order that the
luncheon may not have the appearance

the putting forward of Judge Parker as
the favored son of New York for the
presidential nomination will be done
has not been learned, but it is known
that the plan is to have it done inaa
manner that will make it significant
and that cannot be misunderstood
Following the luncheon at the home
If Mr.. Sheehan. Il dinner for Judge
Parker will be held. At that dinner
leading New York democrats, repre-
senting every faction of the party. will
be present. Judge Parker's candidacy
will there be emphasized and 1t viii
be made plain, if possible. that as a
:andidate he will have the support of
the business interests of the country.
These plans are a departure from
those contemplated a fortnight ago.
1t was then thought we'll to start the
Parker boom with Il big dinner at the
Metropolitan club. but that was ad
vised against by wise politicians. who
thought that such a move might create
a bad impression in some quarters. 1t
was then decided to place Judge Par
ker fairly before the country as a re-
ceptive candidate in Il manner that
would make it possible to show that
he is popular with all classes.
Much work in quiet way has been
done for Judge Parker. among his most
ardent supporters being Mr.. Sheehan
and August Belmont. First to be done,
in the opinion Of those most practiced
in the of politics, was to convince the
business public that Judge Parker Is
a safe man. 1t is said that TO this end
his position on many subjects of in
terest to the business world may be ex-
planned at the dinner to be given after
the Sheehan luncheon. at which Judge
Parker and his wife will be the princi-
pal figures.
There has been much discussion asl
to whether in the event of the nominal
ton Of Judge Parker by the democrat
ic national convention. his campaign
should be directed by business mani
with no political Affiliations or by a
politician of the old school. such as
German or Smith Some thought it'll
would be better to make complete
turn. placing the management OF theI
in the hands of some ShreWu
man better known in Wall street than
elsewhere Other counsel is said tol
have prevailed, however. with the re-
suit that it has already been decided
so it is said to make compromise !;
and should Judge Parker be his party
choice. his campaign is to be directed
by August Belmont who is closely con-
nected with most of the great corpor-
ate interests and who is no novice at
the game of politics. ]
