SOME ONE TURNED
 SWITCH PURPOSELY
PRESIDENT RAMSEY OF WABASH THINKS WORK WAS MALICIOUS. RAILROAD WILL OFFER BIG RE- WARD FOR CAPTURE.

St. Louis. July 4--"Some one turned that switch at Litchheld," said President J. Ramsey Jr., of the Wabash, in speak, ing of the deraiment of the Wabash train at Litchfeld, H.
 ''Whether it was one who had a spite against the railroad, or who was merely crazy, I do not know Certainly it seems that no human spite against the road could be so bitter as to be willing to sacrifice the lives that were lost or to cause the suffering that has resulted.
 If it did not seem like idle talk, I would say that no reward Is too heavy to be offered for the apprehension of the one whose stealthy hand opened that switch"
 He said "we are awaiting the result of the coroners action. We will offer reward of course. Net 1t seems like hunting a needle in a hay stack. The one who was responsible for the disaster had plenty of time to get away and klde tracks.
 q fully realize that the passengers who stated that the train was moving at the rate of fully seventy-two miles and hour thought they were speaking the truth. Some allowance must be made however, for their excitement.
 s.From the facts that l can gather, it is my belief that the trains speed did not exceed forty miles and hour when it struck the switch. The accident occurred about 5000 feet from the Litchfield sta tion. at which all trains are required to stop, and had No. Il been going seventy five miles an hour, it would have been impossible to stop at the station about bringing him formally into the con test because of the claims of the Parker people that his candidacy would be solely for the purpose of killing Parker. They are endeavoring to raise the cry that the German movement is really a Cleve- land movement. This is of course absurd, as German himself is known to be an- tagonistic to Cleveland.
 Making Many Claims.
 August Belmont. David Bennett Hill and William F. Sheehan. managers of the Parker campaign, are making all manner of claims today. They are asserting that Pennsylvania will fall into line before the voting commences and that Parker will be nominated on the first ballot They have, however, injured their cause today by giving out the statement that they want a straight out gold plank in the platform. MT. Belmont is also urging up- on delegates that the trust question be ignored in the platform. In other words Mr. Belmont seems to be of the opinion that he is the controlling factor in the convention and in that is apt to mater ially injure the cause of his candidate.
 The first ballot of the convention will probably not be taken before Thursday afternoon. Many combinations and changes may occur in the meantime and as stated above no one can tell at this time definitely what the result will be. The fight. however, is now between Par ker and German.

Rainy Season Hampers MoVe-
 mpRts of the Japanese
DIsF,<:S ARE PREVALENT
siropatkin Now Has 125,ooo Men and Is Being Reinforced at the Rate of 2ooo Per
 Day.

St. Petersburg, July 4.-Military ex- perts believe that the center of gravity again has shifted to Port Arthur where siege operations are expected to engage most of the attention of the Japanese nn- til the conclusion of the rainy season permits the resumption of the campaign in Southern Manchuria.
 The war office believes that further advance on Ta-Tche-Kiao is impossible in view of the powerful resistance which can be made by the Russians, combined with the great difficulties of transporta- tion over rain-sodden roads. Desultory fighting, however, is likely to continue for the possession of the passes which are particularly valuable to either belliger- ent for the purpose of obtaining informal ton regarding the various movements.
 The Japanese still hold Dalin pass, while the Russians have captured Ouda- lin pass. The similarity of names led to the premature report of Japanese retreat from Dalin pass.
 Major General Mistchcenko is harassing and driving back the Japanese between siu Yen and kal Chau already inhicting a loss of about 600 in killed or wounded The Japanese are displaying the greatest weakness at this point owing to their distance from supplies and to the preva- fence o. dysentery

CAUSES SOME IRRITATION
DEPARTURE OF RUSSIAN BALTIC
FLEET WITHOUT PREVIOUS
NOTIFICATION.

London, Nov. Count Bencken
dorff. the Russian ambassador was re
ceived in audience by King Edward
at Buckingham palace during the after
noon. 1t is assumed that the ambassa
dor was the bearer of message from
Emperor Nicholas.
Ambassador Benckendorff had a
most cordial interview with the king
who. it is understood, expressed FOL
transmission to st. Petersburg his sat
isfaction at the present method of set
Ting the dispute.
Up to the time he saw the king
Count Benckendorff had received nc
notification that detachment of Off
GERS from the Russian squadron at
Vigo would attend the sessions OF the
international committee, nor had he
heard of the sailing of the squadron
from Vigo.
The ambassador informed the Asso-
ciated Press that the departure of the
squadron would naturally follow the
detachment of these officers in accord
ance with the understanding reached
between himself and Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne last week.
p~NN-
summoned to consider the Anglo-Rus-
sian convention covering the inquiry
into the North sea incident,
Government is Annoyed.
The government here received a
notification from the British consul at
Vigo that the Russian squadron had
sailed and some irritation was felt at
the fact that the Russian government
had failed to previously notify the
government regarding the detachment
of officers Ambassador Benckendorff
is hourly expecting official advices and
while the foreign office obviously is
annoyed at not knowing officially that
Russia had carried out her part OF the
bargain no serious consequences are
Anticipated 1t was officially stated to
the Associated Press that with the ex-
ception of the foregoing omission to
notify the government no hitch has
occurred.
Count Benckendorff had long con-
ference at the foreign Office with Pre-
mier Balfour. Lord Selborne, first
lord of the admiralty, as well as For
eign Secretary Lansdowne, were pres
ent. Ii is stated that the draft of the
proposed convention relative TO the
scope, composition and venue of the
commission was drawn
up. AS this must be submitted to st.
Petersburg for acceptance or revision
it will necessarily entail delay. The
lack of information vouchsafed Off
cially to the British press regarding
the causes OF these delays leads to all
kinds of scare suggestions of bad faith
on the part Of Russia and tends to
spread rumors for which 1t Is difficult
to find adequate reason.

NO HITCH IN NEGOTIATIONS.
London Cannot Explain the Gibraltar
Dispatches.

London, Nov. 2.-There is no eX-
planation yet of the apparently alarm
ing kilograms from Gibraltar, but at
the admiralty the movements of the
warships are stated to be in compile
tion of the plans for mobilization, al
though Gibraltar says the mobilization
terminated Sunday There appears to
have been some conflict in the orders
issued to the fleets owing to the sud
den changes In the diplomatic situa
tion which may possibly account for
the fleets movements.
Both at the foreign Office and at the
Russian embassy it is positively stated
that there Is no hitch In the negotia-
tions except Russias failure to notify
the British government of the names
of the officers detached from the Rus
sian squadron.

STICK TO THEIR STORY.
Russian Officers Insist They Were
Attacked.

London, Nov. 2.-The Vigo CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says of the
conditions prevailing there:
1T is most difficult to see what
practical outcome is likely to follow
the inquiry into the North sea affair.
The Russian officers are absolutely
united In maintaining that they were
attacked by torpedo boats. They say
st. Petersburg accepts their view and
that they will not recede from 1t. They
declare that whatever the findings of
the international commission the czar
cannot sensure nor punish officers who
did their duty. Their attitude is all
the stronger because they feel the
sting of the accusation made against
them that they were suffering from
nervousness"
