MORE TROUBLE In
STORE FOR CANNON

Chicago, August 2.-(SpeciaD-If Joseph
G. Cannon persists in his candidacy for
reelection as speaker, as he says he WILL
he will not have the solid support of the
republican delegation from Illinois in the
caucus. and it Is more than possible that
majority of the delegation will be op-
posed to him. Six or more Illinois mem
bers of Congress have been compelled
by their constituents within the last six
weeks to take the pledge to oppose Uncle
Joe" for reelection to the speakership.
They were given the choice of taking this
pledge or of facing insurgent opposition
in the primary. All of the statesmen who
were served with this ultimatum chose
the former alternative, and as result
will have the nominations handed to them
on a platter by the grateful republicans
of their respective districts.
Practically all of the new republican
candidates at the primaries are running
on insurgent platforms Answers by them
to telegraphic inquiries as to their posi-
tions on the speakership show that they
are making political capital of Uncle
J6e's unpopularity. Congressman w. b.
Mckinley, chairman of the national re-
publican congressional committee, in ref
erence to rumors that he would not again
support Mr.. Cannon for the speakership.
said yesterday:
II am Mr.. Cannon's friend, and If he Is
a candidate for speaker I shall certainly
vote for him."

population of Japan and territory as

The treaty of Portsmouth, which set

1.-The privy eouncil-of Japan today was
summoned to meet at 1880 o'clock to-
morrow morning, and this is regarded
by we'll informed persons as practically
the signal to complete the negotiations
between Lieutenant General Terauchi,
the japanese resident general in
Korea, and the emperor of Korea and
his cabinet, which have continued for
full week. While the negotiations
are shrouded in absolute official silence,
there no longer can be any doubt that
the Korean emperor has agreed to sign
convention by which, in view of the
untenable conditions pertaining, he and
his government and people consent to
the absolute control of Korea by the
emperor and government of Japan.

district, with the two amendments, pro-
vides for an assessment of 81 per week
on all miners working; the Endorsement
of all strikes; the dismissal of interna-
tional organizers and criticism of the In

the substitute from coming to a vote until
all of the strikes had been indorsed and
the assessment included in the provision.
The amendment 70: the assessment was
made by President Howott of the south
west district. which is on strike, and was
seconded by President Walker of the IL
linois district which Is also on strike.

Estrada Forces Are
VictOrS In Nicaragua
Reports Say Provisional Government Is Toerng and DR.
Madriz Is Preparing to Flee From Country Consterna
tion Rens In Managua and Granada Is At Mercy of
Undisciplined Mob of Soldiers

Washington, August 21.-The pro-
visional government of Nicaragua Is
tottering to its fall, the Madriz army
Is demoralized, CONSERVATION reigns In
Managua, and DR.. Madriz. his general
in-chief, Toledo, and General Irias are
preparing to flee the country. This In
effect is the advices received by the
state department today from United
states Consul Olivares at Managua
which advices were confirmed by dis
patches in a similar vein from Mr..
Johnson, United States consul at Co.
rinto.
The panic in the capital also Is
threatening the lives and property OF
Americans. Crowds are repo4 ted tra-
versing the streets crying Death to the
Yankeesl' while the cruisers Vicks burg
and Yorktown are at Corinto and In
close touch with the situation, the lega-
tion and consulates in Managua are
under heavy police guard, and prepara-
tions have been made to meet attacks
on American lives or property.
The situati grew out of the victory
of the Estradan troops on Thursday,
when the revolutionists defeated a
strong column of government troops
and effected the crossing of the Tipi-
tapa river.
The rout of the government army
seems to have been complete. Mr..
Olivares reports that General Toledo,
who was in command of the Madriz
troops, arrived in Managua the day fol-
lowing his defeat and announced that
his force had been seized with panic
and fled when attacked. Some of the
soldiers made theiy way to Granada
while others continued their flight to
the capital itself.
Granada also appears to be at the
mercy of an undisciplined mob of SOL
diers, who are reported to be pillaging
the houses there. 1t is added that the
Estradan force is already at the gates
of the city and Is preparing to take
the place by assault. From the evident
demoralized condition of the Madri7
forces, observers here believe that
Granada will be taken by Estrada with
little trouble, and the way to the capt.
tai will thus be clear
