St Louis, July 2.-Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, who was secretary of the
interior under President Cleveland,
and who was the leader of the Parker
movement in Georgia, represents
certain sentiment that is prevalent in
some quarters. He is for Parker, and
will support him as long as there is
a possibility of securing his nomina-

Georgia delegation, but in case it be-
comes evident that Parker cannot be
nominated then Georgia has ma
jority which will vote the whole dele

of General Kuropatkin 3 p. MA
correspondent of the Associated Press
who has just returned from the head
quarters of General Count Keller's
corps, reports that on "Wednesday a
Japanese division advanced by tor
tuous defile about thirty miles east OF
Lao Yang. General Keller had no
artillery posted, but had stationed
three battalions of infantry along a
crest commanding the pass. An OBJ
stinate fight followed and lasted the
whole night. The Russians lost 50
men and the Japanese casualties were
larger. On Thursday morning Gen
eral Keller retired successfully, with
drawing his men from the narrow
defiles.
"A most complete change of plans
was displayed by the Japanese on
Friday, in retiring upon TAI Chen.
General Keller in the meantime had
been reinforced by artillery and he
harrassed the Japanese rear. Owing
to the heavy rains the movements of
the guns and transport wagons were
exceedingly difficult.
1t is believed that the Japanese lost
an opportunity of attacking Lao
Yang or cutting the Russian lines OF
communications. The rains render it
imperative to suspend operations.

ence was held tonight between former
Senator Henry G. Davis. of West Vir-

sylvania, the object of Senator Davis
being to enlist the Pennsylvania lead
er for German. 1t is believed that
Guffey feels that German is out and
that his delegation from Republican
State cannot afford to oppose what
seems to be the choice of Democratic
States. and that when the Pennsyl-
vania delegation meets, it will decide
to vote for Parker.
The arrival of many leaders and
delegates, tonight seems to make it
plain that former President Cleveland
is not being considered by them.
