The ! question of instructing the delegates to ; St. Louis for Parker came up and Sen- J ator Daniels spoke in opposition to e'ther endorsement or instruction. Mr. Braxton favored expressing preference for Parker. Senator Martin spoke against endorsement of, or instructions for, Parker, and the convention declined to endorse or instruct.

"Mr. Clark's address was impressively delivered and his beautiful portrayal of the influence of the women in the Revolutionary war was a splendid tribute to them. "The r. A.

To President Johnson, the students of the college and the j teachers who interested themselves on this ocacsion, the D. A. R. also return sincere thanks for the sum added to the monument fund.

Denver, Col., Special.?The executive board of the Western Federation of Miners has issued a statement regarding the situation in Cripple Creek, In reply to the statement made by General Sherman M. Bell and Secretary C. C. Hamlin, of the Cripple Creek Distlct Mine Owners' Association. It says: "The only questions involved are the enforcement of the eight-hour day, the right of men to organize in the unions and to prevent discrimination against union men of all kinds. The responsibility for the lawlessness connected with the contests rests entirely on the .shoulders of the mine operators, the Citizens' Alliance and their allies, backed up by the ready power of the j State government." The events of the past week, the ' statement says, justify these accusations. The statement says no deaths I >ave occurred for which the Western J Federation of Miners can be held responsible.

St. Petersburg, By Cable.?The Russian government has not yet returned an answer to British Ambassador Harding, relative to his government's protest at Russia's declaration that rice and other foodstuffs are contraband of war, but the Associated Press learns that there is no intention on the part of the government to make modifications to meet the British view. The protest is based on the rule observed by Great Eritain during the Boer war, that even foodstuffs des tined for a hostile country could be considered contraband of war only if intended for an enemy's forces. A high Russian official called attention to the fact that at the breaking out of the war Russia was compelled to stop at San Francisco a cargo of meat destined for Vladisvostock, in order to avoid its possible capture in conse quence of the Japanese declaration that it would be regarded as contraband. "Rice is an important article of food in the Japanese army, and the question whether it should be declared contraband was carefully considered when the regulations were being framed," said this official, "and the declaration reported by Russia entirely justified such an action. The British government is disposed to regard the question as an academic one, but should steamers which are being equipped as aAiliary cruisers proceed to the Pac|fic and make captures of ships loaded with provisions, complications could easily arise." Diplomatic circles are interested in the attitude the United States wiil adopt in the matter. Piladivostock Fleet Bold. London, By Cable.?The Standard's correspondent at St. Petersburg hears that a telegram from Vice-Admiral Skreydloff states that on June 7th he went within thirty miles of Port Arthur with the Vladisvostock fleet, and there ran into a fog. He found several Japanese torpedo boats and battleships, which attacked him fiercely and inflicted some damage. The Russians returned the fire, but as none of the Port Arthur ships appeared, Vice-Admiral SkreydlofT returned to Vladivostok, where he arrived Friday morning. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Japanese headquarters, telegraphing under date of June 11, says four strong Japanese columns have occupied Suen Chow, Saimatsza, Liao Waling and Siu Yen. Suen Chow is 85 miles east of Mukden and Liao Waling five miles northwest of Siu Yen. Submarine Boat is Merchandise. Washington, Special.?The United States government has received no information regarding the reported sale to the government of Japan of the lake submarine boat Protector, and the Navy Department does not know where the boat is. But it makes little difference from an international point of view what has become of this boat, in the opinion of the State Department, since Hamilton Fish, when Secretary of State, laid down an opinion, to the effect that a torpedo boat, capable of being carried on the deck of a ship, might properly be regarded as an article of . merchandise and so might be sold to belligerents, without violation of neutrality, but subject to the risk of seizure on the high seas. Burial of Russian Dead. Tokio, By Cable.?The military commission assigned to bury the Russian dead in the battle of Nanshan Hill, at Kin Chou, May 26, presented its . final report.

All factions In the camp are tired of the long-drawn-out controversy and are planning a settlement. That the union miners who went on strike August 10,1903, would be glad tc bury the hatchet is shown by the publication of twd-column editorial in The Victor Record, the mouthpiece of the Western Federation of Miners, urging that the strike be called off.

Nominally, she is held as a witness under $5,000 bond, but District Attorney Jerome has intended that in case of her release either by ball or by any other means, she will be immediately re-arrested. The case took a new turn today, when Algeron C. Meyer, of 253 Ea6t Second street, Jacksonville, Fla., publicly announced that ho was a witness to the killing of Young, and stated that Young himself held the revolver which fired the fatal shot.

Hamlin, secretary of the Cripple Creek District Mine Owners' Asso-^^, ciation, gave out a statement in reply to a telegram from a New York newspaper asking him to present his side of the labor troubles here. Mr. Hamlin says the strike was not for an eighthour day, which already prevails, the miners getting from $3 to $4 a day, but "to dfcmpel every miner in this district to joiiT>he Western Federation of Miners or leavd^Jhe country. This organization has a refcs^'of lawlessness. murder, arson and dyhamiting fn Coeur D'Alene, Butte, Leadvllle, Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek and elsewhere, extending over a period of ten cy fifteen years, which should appall humanity. Their outrages culminated here Monday when fifteen men were blown into eternity and nearly as many more maimed so that death would be a mercy. The only parallel to this organization can be found in the Mollie Maguires of Pennsylvania, and their members were law-abiding citizens compared with the organization which we have to deal with. The peace and quiet of the State demand that this organization be exterminated root and branch." Miners Appeal to Roosevelt. Denver, Col., Special.?The executive board of the Western Federation of Miners decided to appeal to President W* Roosevelt to investigate the condition in Colorado. Secretary W. D.
