Special to The Journal
Esopus, N. Y, Aug. 23.-The latest
governorship gossip heard among poll
ticians at Esopus is that William Ran
dolph Hearst is to emerge at the last
moment from his position Of obscurity
since the st. Louis convention, and will
try to win the nomination for gov
ernor. This, however, is in the event
there should be a disagreement be-
tween the Tammany forces who are
now advocating the nomination Of
Goodhear, and the Stanchield ele-
ment operated by David B. Hill.
Former Secretary Of the Treasury
John c. Carlisle, who spent the night
at Rosemont as the guest of Judge
Parker, returned to New York today.
Neither he nor the judge would say
anything of the purpose or results of
their conference, which was almost
unbroken thruout last evening.
The candidate is now being flooded
with campaign music and marches
waltzes, two-steps and parod1es upon
familiar songs are in almost every
mail.
It is announced at democratic state
headquarters in New York today that
David B. Hill is to eliminate himself
from the active management of the
state campaign. It was said that Mr.
Hill feels that if he was prominent ir
the campaign that fact might lose
some votes for Judge Parker. Mr.
! Hill will not attempt to control the
state convention and name the candi-
| date for governor.

man Meyer of the state committee,
and Charles F. Murphy, leader OF

London, Aug. 23.-Dr. Davidson,
archbishop of Canterbury, who with
Mrs. Davidson and two chaplains
sailed for New York in the Celtic, car
ried with him many good wishes that
his visit to America may be a success.
Most of the London papers have
had editorials dealing with the arch
bishops journey, which, it is pointed
out, is the first one across the Atlantic
ever undertaken by a premier of all
England.
Special precautions will be taken to
guard the prinate against American
interviewers.
The vicar Of Windsor, who also &C
companies thte archbishop, said that
on no account will the premier permit
himself to be questioned by reporters.
A press guard Of clergymen will ac-
company him in public.
Americans here laugh at this "press
guard PLAN" and one, who enjoys the
archbishop's acquaintance, says:
1.-The ability and diplomacy that
have marked the career Of the Most
Rev. Thomas Randall Davidson from
a modest curacy In Kent to his pres
ent exalted offices-the list beginning
with prelate of the Order Of the Gar
ter and ending with clerk of the
closetgin ordinary to the king-sugge st
that he is quite capable of protecting
himself even if exposed unguarded in
the presence of the dread American
interviewer.

Port Arthur had all but fallen, the

of the previous reports that the Rus

that boiled down to its essence" and
"sifted to its real meaning" the
democratic campaign Of 1904 is "a
mere unscrupulous hunt for office"
The most telling Indictment of the
SAFE and sane democracy is found
in the following statement from the
Watson address:
1t seems to me to be the. most amazing
piece of effrontery for the democratic par
ty to go before the American people and
proclaim that for eight years they have
been wrong and the republicans have been
right and at the same time demand that
the crowd which has been wrong shall
be put in the places of those who have
been right. If the gold standard
be right, as both the old parties now say
it is, the people Of the country will give

The Evening News dispatch from
Chi-fu is simply a repetition Of the an

Etse-shan fort is almost in the center
of the chain of forts, of which it forms
one, defending Port Arthur, from which

and Is possibly second in Importance

It was announced from Chi-fu Monday
that the Japanese had swept the Rus

the northernmost fort Of the western line

fort, might also be classed as the north

New York, Aug. 23.-All the lead

duced minimum first and second cab

nard line reduction made several days
ago. The North German Lloyd and
the French line were the last to take
part in the cut-rate war by announ-
cling sweeping reductions in the first
class rates both to Plymouth and
Cherbourg and to Bremen on the
largest vessels of the line, and also
on steamships Of the smaller. class.
On the fast steamers of the German
line, the minimum frst-class rate to
Plymouth and Cherbourg was cut $40
and a reduction Of $50 was made in
the same class rate to Bremen. A
cut Of $50 was announced in the first
class rate to Plymouth and Cherbourg
on vessels of the smaller type and of
$40 to Bremen.
On the French lines a cut Of $50
was made in first-class and Of $40 Ia

New York, Aug. 23.-The repub-
.lican national committee will un-
doubtedly make good use of the
speech Of Tom Watson, in which he
accepted the populist nomination for
the presidency. Mr.. Watson is run
ming this year on a platform which
lays down the principles of the Bryan
democracy. His is the only political
party that now finds anything to
commend in the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms, and his speech of &C
ceptance is a strong arraignment of
the new democracy for it's desertion
of Organism in mad desire for
office. To the democrat who still
believes in the doctrines his party
taught in 1895 and in 1900, the Wat
son speech will make a convincing
appeal. It shows that party in this
campaign as convert to the gold
standard, safe and "sane," and hop
ing to slide into the presidency be-
cause it has come over onto the
ground occupied for so many years by
the republicans. It shows that the

WANT TO CHANGE
CONTRACT GRADE
The Contest Between Elevator
Men and Millers Breaks Out
Afresh.
Former Would Permit No. 2 and
Cash Differential to Be
Delivered.

The big contest between the Min
neapolis millers and the elevator men
received a fresh impetus this morning
when petition came on change
praying the abolition of the single
contract grade of No. northern
wheat and the insertion In the rules
of a modifying clause permitting de-
livery of either No. / northern or No.
northern, the latter upon payment
of a scent differential. Eighty-f1ve
names were on the petition when it
appeared on the floor and more were
appended later.
This matter came up about a year
peared exclusively in h e 10 r.
n al. The petition was circulated
secretly. The millers were against 1t
and so powerful was thte opposition
that the move was squealched over
night.
Now it is up again and this time
with support strong enough to make
its success seem more probable.
Why Millers Oppose.
The millers' opposing argument, in
brief, is that Minneapolis has gained
cash grain trade performance largely
because of the maintainance here of
the highest standard for contract
grade. The milling trade, it Is urged,
would be badly handicapped We're the
petition granted; that the reputation
of the market and of the product
might suffer and moreover it would be
impossible for a miller to buy any
quantity Of wheat futures to cover
sales of flour and thus protect himself
when the option would mature and
the wheat be offered for delivery to
him he might be compelled to take
over and pay for a great quantity Of
No. 2 northern that he would not
want and could not use and would
ern grade at ALL This, it is contend
ed, would demoralize the trade. The
five cent penalty would do him no
good for he could not grind the nickel.
What he must have Is wheat and he
must know he will get it when due
him.
Elevator Mems Views.
The elevators take another view of
it and the commissioner and pit
traders are largely with them. Their
argument is that the Minneapolis
market must grow by the trade In
futures and that the hedging trade
should be fostered. AS it now is buy
ers Of cash wheat for storage hesitate
to sell a future against 1t as this
binds thin to deliver No. 1 northern
dIlO C1SS, e'1ASA IAASAC LOS oSSAA
SO little of that grade in store here
for several years that the situation
has been an unsatisfactory one.
This season 1t is likely there will
be less No. northern than ever, SO
badly has the crop been damaged. No
buyer of cash wheat today dares
hedge" his purchase in December OR
May for a few men might easily con-
troll all the contract grade Dec. or
nd IN Ia Nf a MI
wheat offered for delivery failing to
grade contract, the seller would be in
a bad fix. Under the proposed change

not the intention of the American

UEAsELEss AT PORT ARTHUR
Fire from Both Sides Goes On Day
and Night with Awful Results.

St. Petersburg. Aug. 23.-The
bombardment of Port Arthur proceeds
continually day and night. The losses
on both sides are serious. This is the
resume of the latest news from the
besieged stronghold.
In view of the fact that the Japanese
have sent large detachments from the
north to reinforce the army engaged
in the assault on Port Arthur, General
Kuropatkin, who now has 100000 men
at his disposal, will take the earliest
opportunity Of engaging the Japanese.
In case he Is unsuccessful, all the
necessary preparations will be made
for retreat to Hardin. If victorious,
he will forthwith proceed to the relief
of Port Arthur, which, it Is believed,
can resist for two months longer.
Despite the popular feeling that
Port Arthur is doomed, the success
with which Lieutenant General Stoes-
sci has been beating off the Japanese
assaults and the heavy loss suffered by
the besiegers, offer considerable en-
enlargement to the war office.
Limit to Assaults.
There is limit beyond which
troops cannot go, no matter how gal
lant," said an officer of the general
staff this morning. "A fifth of the
army before Port Arthur is a small
estimate Of the enemy's losses UP to
date. If the storming operation which
we understand is progressing fails
to give them foothold in the ring OF
the inner defenses the japanese will
be compelled by sheer exhaustion to
stop and recuperate while awaiting
additional reinforcements, and per-
sonally, together with some of my COL
| leagues, believe they will abandon the
| idea of a general assault and settle
down to regular siege operations.
Starving out the garrison is less brill
| liant but it is quite as effective a way
Of reducing fortress. The Japanese
purpose in rushing matters has doubt
! less been to release section of the
| southern army and enable it to CO.
operate with the armies in Man.
churia."
| Sortie Would Be Folly.
The naval critic Of the vindomosi
boldly expresses the opinion that the
| Port Arthur squadron would commit
AN act Of folly If it went out now. He
adds:
"Altho a portion of Admiral Ouk-
! tomsky's ships are in fighting trim,
including at least the Peresviet, Pol
| tava, Sebastopol and Pallada, it would
be futile to attempt to break thru
Admiral Togo's strong lines. The
squadron would be lost without profit
| to Port Arthur. Ouktomsky would
do better to dismantle his guns and
send the men ashore. This would re-
enforce General Stoessel to the extent
