st. Louis, July 2.-The Parker mer

most active Parker men in the city
Thomas A. Taggart, of Indiana, is in
constant communication with the new
arrivals, especially those who are un

Apprehension Regarding Cleveland
We'll, we are no nearer a conclu.

talk" In going over the situation they
found that even if they should enter
into combination to defeat Parker
that they would be no nearer to re,
suits than before, and some of them
feared that the defeat of Parker would
afford an opportunity to nominate Mr.
Cleveland and to this some Of the men
in the conference were opposed, while
others were somewhat favorable. 1t
is believed that Smith and Guffey are
among the men who would be willing
to see Cleveland nominated, and they
they would be willing to throw New
Jersey and Pennsylvania to the ex.
president.
While some Parker men are enthu-
siasuc enough to claim that their
man will be named on the first ballot

PROGRESS 81

During the past week the great
struggle in the central theater of the
Russo Japanese war seemed to have
begun. General Kouropatkin noted
that the Japanese pickets were PERM
ciously active, especially at Landau
sian. Liandiansian is about twenty
five miles southeast of Laoyang, on
the main road to Fengwangeheng. 1t
was said to be the key to L1aoyang.
But this may be taken with grain
of salt The war correspondents, des-
pairing of news, are falling back on
strategical hypothesis and denoting
almost every little village in Manchu-
ria as q "key."
During the night the Japanese
threw up breastworks southeast Of
Liandiansian, and in the morning be-
gan the commandment. They had not
taken the place at the point where
Kouropatkin's report suddenly breaks
off. They probably have taken the
position by this time, since they were
attacking with two divisions.
The Russians suffered more naval
reverses during the week. On Satur-
day, the Novik was seen in a harbor
Of Sakhailen Island About o'clock
In the afternoon the Japanese cruiser
Tsushima bore in toward the harbor.
The Novik was coming out. The Tsu-
shima was careful to keep broadside
on to the Russian ship, so as to de-
liver the full effect of the first volley.
Had it been bows on it's rear and side
guns would have been masked. The
fighting lasted forty-fve minutes,
when the Noyik retired. A Russian
shell hit the water, ricocheted. and
struck the Jap cruiser over it's coal
