JOHN P. ELKIN FOR
SUPREME COURT
GCvarnor of Pennsylvania Declined
to be a Candidate
GREAT SURPRISE TO LEADERS

Harrisburg, Pa, April Ex-Governor
! Pennypacker has declined to be can.
didate for justice of the supreme
court. Former Attorney General John
P. Elkin was the unanimous choice OF
the delegates, after a complimentary
vote had been cast for several favor
! ite son" candidates. at a caucus last
night in the board of trade building.
| Governor Pennypacker's declina-
tion, which was a great surprise to
! the party leaders, came in the form
of a statement to the committee rep
resenting the Philadelphia delegation,
! which called at the executive mansion
and formally notified him that the Sc
Philadelphia delegates had unani-
mously endorsed him for the supreme
court vacancy.
The statement follows: IN view of
| the possibility Of some such action as
you have taken, l have given careful
consideration to the subject in a con-
scientious effort to reach correct
conclusion. I have examined the mat
ter in all of its relations so far as l
have been able to understand them,
and I have concluded not to be a can
didate and not to permit my name to
be presented to the convention. In so
doing ! want further to say to you
that this expression of consistent con.
fidence coming from the people of the
city which you represent, and where
in my judicial work was done. will
ever be one of the grateful memories
of my life"
Mr.. Elkin issued the following
statement: 4 have been asked to be
a candidate for the nomination for the
supreme bench, with assurances of
practically a unanimous nomination. !
Many of my friends have urged me to |
fayorably consider the proposition, and
after careful deiberation | have de- I
termined to allow the use of my name /
as a candidate for the Office of su-
preme judge before the convention"
If Mr.. Elkin is elected in November
he will serve for 81 years. at a salary
Of $4,000 a year. He came here as a
candidate for delegate-at-large to the
national convention, and would have
been elected had he not consented to
become a candidate for supreme court
justice. There is much speculation
among the delegates and others who
are here to attend the convention as
to whether his nomination will take
him out o. the field for the nomina-
ton for governor in 1906. for which
be has been an avowed candidate.
The convention will elect Governor
Pennypacker, o. D. Bleakley. of
franklin; James Elverson. of Philadel-
phia. and Francis L. Robbins, of Pitts
burg. delegates-at-large They will be
instructed to vote for the nomination !
If President Roosevelt Robert Pit
,airn of Pittsburg. and Clarence Wolf.
If Philadelphia, will be nominated for
presidential electors-atlarge.
Thomas H. Capp, Of Lebanon, will

-ention.
The platform will endorse the ma
ional and state administrations.

opposition as would a Russian army
corps. The Russians also count upon
a japanese fianking movement in con
nection with a frontal attack, and
therefore a Russian force has been
disposed along the Tumen to prevent
the entrance of a Japanese column
there. Another fianking movement is
expected at the head of the Lao
Tung gulf near Newchwang, and
everything there is being prepared to
receive the enemy, but for the present
the Russian military authorities be-
lieye that the Japanese game at this
point has been blocked by the failure
Of the attempts to bottle up and render
immobile the fleet of Vice Admiral
Makaroff which, while free, will be a
great menace to the movement of
Japanese transports into the Gulf of
Pe-Chi-Li. Another effort to block
Port Arthur is consequently expected
daily.
One Of the principal reasons for
Viceroy Alexieff's visit to Port Arthur,
in addition to inspecting the ships and
defenses, is understood to have been
for the purpose of consulting Vice Ad-
miral Makaroff with a view to devils
ing plans for defeating those attacks.
and to this end all additional possible
precautions have been taken. Indeed
it is hinted in high quarters that the
next time the Japanese appear of
Port Arthur they will find a surprise
awaiting them.

He was conscious next day, but
weak as water. They concocted a sort
of chicken broth between them, and
tried to feed him-but that, and the
quinine (of which he thought he would
try another dose)-and some beef ex-
tract, which was Valero's idea, all pro-
duced the same effect-and very soon
