The Town of Feng Wang Cheng Fals Int Hands Of The Victorious Japs. St. Petersburg. May 9. 3.33 a. m. Two official dispatches calculated to increase the depression existing among all circles in Russia were given out last night. From the point of view of the progress of the campaign the most important is that iegarding the capture by the Japanese without opposition of Feng Wang Cheng on May' 6. The second gives details con cerning the killed. wounded and miss ing among the troops under the com mand of Lieut. Gen. Zassalitch as the result of the fighting on the Yalu, the number of which totals 2.397 officers and men. Gen. Kuropatkin f6rwarded a mes sage from Lieut. Gen. Zassalitch who' bad been left in command of the col umn reiring from Feng Wang Cheng, which described the movements of the enemy in connection with the occupa ion of the town.

On Tuesday morning after the blockading flotilla had been scatterea by a gale and the commander of the flotilla had signalled in vain that the attempt be abandoned pending the moderation of the storm. the crews or the separate ships. in no wise dauntea by the weather which isolated then from their comipanions, proceeded to the work of their own desperate im tiative. They forced their way in the face of the Russian fire, which was more deadly than ever before as a re sult of the improved Russian defenses. over the field of mines. Many or these exploded yet five of the Japd nese blockading ships were jammed ihto the inner channel and now prt vent egress from the harbor to all craft excepting small boats. This at tack exceeded all its predecessors in desperation and the courage displayed by the volunteer crews is equal to that showft in any event in the war history of the world. An CAM Favorite. Philadelphia Public Ledger. An old negro in a South Carolina town was arrested for stealing chick ens. and as the old fellow bore a rather bad reputation it was quite hard to secure counsel for him. At last a young lawyer, who had known Rastus for a long time, took his case, to the great joy of the old man. When his trial came off tht judge asked him: "Are you the defendant?" The old fellow, perplexed for a mo ment, then replied: "Na, sah, dat's de defendant. sah." pointing proudly at his counsel. "I'se the man wot stole de chickens."

TI NEMBERRY'S DELEGATES ON THE NOMINITION WHOM SHOULD THE DEMO CRATS NOMINATE? A Diversity of Opinion-Parker, However, Seems To Be The Favorite. Newberry's delegates to the state democratic convention were yester day seen by a representative of The Herald and News and asked for a sta'.ement as to their preference for a democratic presidential nominee. and as to whether or not they thought South Carolina's delegation to St. Louis should be instructed. As will be seen from the interviews here pub lished. there is a diversity of opinion among the Newberry delegates. but Judge Parker. of New York. seems to be the favorite. and an uninstructea delegation is favored. The state convention meets in Co lumbia on the 18th of this month. Mr. E. H. Aull said that it was known that he was for Parker. inas much as that has been the position of The Herald and News for severai weeks. He is for Parker, he says. be cause he believes that Parker is now and always has been a good and true democrat. and with the present field he seems to be the most available man. and the one with whom the democra cy would be most likely to win. "The south." said Mr. Aull. "will support the nominee of the party and the dele gation to St. Louis from this state should go uninstructed, so that they may be free to vote for any good democrat who may be presented, and ER!

Mr. C. L. Blease was in Ander son yesterday and could not be seen for a definite statement. 1n convcrs. tion with the reporter several days ago. however. Mr. Blease 4tated tha,t he was for Senator Tillman for presi dent and Carter Harrison for vice president and after these for the most available good democrat who might appear at the proper time. He is not very enthusiastic over Parker. Mr. Blease will be seen for a definite statement as soon as he returns to Newberv. An effort was made to secure a statement from the Rev. J. A. Sligh, but it has been impossible so far to see him. Mr. XV. H. Hunt. when asked as to his choice of a presidential candi date. stated that of those so far men tioned and considered he favored Judge Parker. "There is no question in my mind." said Col. Hunt. "that of all those mentioned for the nomination Parker is the most available candi date." Cl Hntit believes that Parker could win if the party would unite in his favor. le does not think the dele gates to St. Louis should be instruct ed. Mr. H. H. Evans states that he prefers the Hon. William Randolph Hearst for the democratic nominee, but he would be willing to take ianv sound democrat who could be shown to have a chance to win. Mr. Fred. H. Dominick says that in common with all democrats he wants to see democracy win. "But 'I do not agree with what a great many have said, and especially newspapers," said Mr. Dominick. "that the demo crats should put up just any man to beat the republicans. I think a man should be nominated whose democra ER.

The unity which some newspapers are preaching seems to me to he a one-sided affair and they are inconsistent, to say the least. People who did not support the demo cratic party and Bryan on former campaigns are now asking for thaf which they failed to practice on these other occasions. I am a strong ad mirer of Bryan and always have been since I first saw and heard him. I have seen a good many insinuations in the newspapers against Hearst and some oi them have requested parties to call at their office and they will produce the records and the proof. But there are things to be said on both sides. I do not agree with the opinion expressed by some that Parker is the only man mention ed for the nomination so far who would stand a chance of winning. It seems to me that Hearst is more in accord with the faction of the deno cratic party which prevailed in the last nominations than Parker is. He has rendered a valuable service to the party and I notice this morning it but for the generous contributions made to the Griggs congressional campaign committeie two years ago by Mr. Hearst that the committee would have had to go out of business before the campaign was over. I ta vor an uninstructed delegation to St. Louis." concluded Mr. Dominick. Mr. Dominick says he wants to see John Sharp WVilliams nominated for vice president. Dr. C. T. Wyche. in conversation with the reporter. stated that Parker seemed to him to be the most availa-. ble man. "The delegates from this state should go uninstructed," co (Continued on Page 5.) EAPER!
