Chicago, June 3.-Proyressive party
leaders, after comforting today, de-
clared their intention Of using every
influence at their command to induce
the republican national convention to
nominate Theodore Roosevelt. II they
fail they say they are willing, to con-
slider the qualifications Of other can
didates.
Numerous informal conferences be-
tween republican and progressive
groups have been held to bring about
harmony.
Republican leaders are doing moth
ing to offend the friends of Roosevelt.
They are willing, they say. to let the
progressives dictate the party plat
form and name the vice president can
didate.
No Third Party Candidate.
They hope to select man that
Roosevelt and his friends can support.
They profess to believe that Roosevelt
will not run as third party candidate
and that he may be induced to endorse
one OF the candidates now in the
hAd.
George w. Perkins, chairman OF the
executive cspmittee OF the progressive
party, said:
= TT is too early to hope for anything
definite at this time, as only a small
percentage Of the delegates to the re-
publican national convention are in
the city. We are for Roosevelt to the
end and insist be should be nominat-

publicans half way in tho interests of
harmony, and we repeat that harmony
is not necessarily prcdicated on the
nomination OF Roosevelt"

According to Chairman Hilles the
work Of settling the contests has pro-

BATTLE OFF DENMARK COAST.
Greatest Sea Fight Lasts TWsnty-
Four Hours-london Stirred.

.
London, June s.-Germany's high
seas fleet came out from its cover
on Wednesday and engaged the
British fleet in the North sea. 1t was
the most destructive and frightful
naval battle Of the war. The Germans
sank fourteen British warships OF
various grades and lost three of their
own vessels, according to their own
statement
h Then the Germans withdrew sue
cessfully before the full force of the
superior British armada could be
brought to bear.
Fight Nearly Twenty-Four Hours.
The engagement, which lasted
nearly twenty-four hours - un-
til yesterday (Thursday) morning
was staged in the eastern waters OF
the North sea, off the coast OF Den
mark.
In general, the battlefield extended
from Skager Rack southwark to
point referred to in the German state
ment as Horn Reef. The center OF
the flghting area is about 100 miles
north Of Helgoland, the main German
naval base in the North sea-.
From advices thus far received II
would appear that the clash was the
greatest naval battle of history. Never
before have two naval forces OF such
MAGNITUDE as the British and German
high seas fleets engaged in combat.
But apparently the battle was not
fought out to point to determine
mastery of the seas, for the losses
serious as they are reported to nave
been. will not impair the Strength OF
