DEMOCRATIC CLAN&
OF WEST VIRGINIA
State Convention Assembles at
Charleston.
A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
It is Possible a Sharp Fight Will Be
Made Over Same?Cleveland, Park
er uorman and Hearst's Names Will
Come Before Convention.
Charleston. \V. Va., April 20?Delegates
are arriving on cverj' train for
the Democratic state convention to be
held hero tomorrow to name delegates
at large to St. Louis. Hon. John T.
McGraw, of Grafton, member of the
national committee, and Colonel Jas.
Miller, of Ilinton, chairman of the
state committee, are here.
It is possible an effort will bo made
to instruct delegates to be selected to
vote for Gorman for president, but this
move will be bitterly opposed by that
portion of the party favoring Cleveland
or Parker, and yet anotheT faction
favoring Hearst.
The convention will be called to order
at noon. Wednesday, by Chairman
Miller, and ho will name Hon. C. Wood
Dailcy, of Elkins, as temporary chairman.
The live congressional districts
will hold delegate conventions here
Wednesday also. It is believed Hearst's
representatives now here will center
all their energies toward capturing
theso or part of them., and will make
but little fight for a representative
ion the delegation at large.

: ment that "President Roosevelt Is a

ideals. He would like to have the
senseless rough rider take tho place
of common sense 'Uncle Sam' and San
Juan Hill substituted for Bunker Hill."

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
HAVE NAMED PARKER
* i .
He ^ Their Choice For Presi"
dential Honors.
BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS LIFE
Democrats of the Empire State In
Their Convention Held at Albany Appoint
Delegates to St. Louis Favori
ing Distinguished JurisL
' Albany, Ga., April 20.?The DoraI
! ocrats of New York present to t/he
I ' democracy of the union tho name of
Judge Alton Brooks Barker as their
candidate for president.
^. This action was taken in a way that
shows Judg eParker to be the choice
i of all Democratic elements representIed
in its state convention. There was
but one point of difference, one divi|
sion, and that had relation only to
| the manner in which his Qamc should
| be presented at St. Louis. It was a
| difference of opinion and of judgment
j as to the best means to attain the
I end toward which all New York Deni!
ocrats are moving?the nomination ot
Parker. The name of no other candl,
date was mentioned,
i The division was as to tho best
S means to attain the nomination of
Judge Barker. The speakers repreIsenting
both sides vie with one another
in their expressions of admira(ion
for the distinguished jurist and of
their desire that there should be done
only that which would best promote
} his candidacy.

Sketch of Judge Parker.
(i Alton lJrooks Parker was born on a
farm in Cortland county, Now York,
j May 14-, 1832. His father, John
J -Brooks Parker, comes of old English
L stock. His great grandfather, John
Parker, was born in 1751 at Worcester,
Mass. He was a hard-working farmer.
When the war for independence
broke out he left his plow and served
i as a private under Washington until
the American republic was established.
Little is known of him except
that he was a man of pluck and independence
and was greatly respected
by his neighbors. His son, John
Parker, was an intelligent man, high-,
ly educated and public-spirited. In
i 1S03 he came to New York state and
bought a farm at Cortland, the
L . .fnrm which.h^4 Brfltldson
owns 'uiiu^niltivates today. Te had
a large family, and when his. health
broke down the burden fell heavily
upon his son,- John, tho father of
Judge Parker.
On his mother's side Judgo Parker
derives good New England blood. His
. white-haired mother, who lives at Der;
by.. Conn., is a woman of reiinement,
' education and strong character. In
J t5ie ^summer time she spends the
Judge's vacation with him at Esopus.
She is a member of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. The
giant sits before his mother while shesolemnly
lectures hi mon temperance,
j and, being an abstemious man, smiles
and promises to be good. Her constant
aim is to warn him against
! tfmbition. When the newspapers
grow too loud in his praise ho is sure
I to get a letter from his mother evhort. I
iug him to be humble.

SOME SKIRMISHING 18 REPORTED
Six Japanese Soidier^llurfjUr^ty Russian
Scouts on April^MPlRpanese
Army Is Divided Into Two Fighting
Forces.
Shanhai, April 20.?Authentic advices
from Seoul dated the 12th instant,
declare that the Japanese are
in complete control of Korea and that
the Russian scouting paTties have retired
across the Yalu before the Japanese
who occupied Wiju practically
without resistance.
The Japanese army is divided into
two forces, one for expeditionary purposes
and the other foj- occupation.
The former, numbering 45,000, is
advancing to the Yalu, and the latter,
consisting of 1.">.000 reservists, is making
far-sighted communication arrangements
with the headquarters at Seoul
where there is a garrison of 4,000.
The headquarters of the transport
servico is at Chemulpo. Railroad
building and road grading is progressing
rapidly. The fortitlcation of BoJedo
island at the mouth of Masampo
harbor, which protects the southern
terminus of overland communication,
also guards the passage to Vladivostock
and Port Arthur through the
Broughton strait. Forty transports off
Haiju are supposed to havo landed
part of their forces at Takushan, and
it is the evident intention to disembark
a second army at Yongampo prepare
tory to forcing the Yalu.

is reputed to have miraculous power,
the peasant also presenting Skrydloft
with consecrated bread, telling Skrydloff
that he saluted him in tho name
of the masses of the Russian people,
all of whose hopes depended on him
as the hero of the Russo-Turkish war.
"The people are convinced," added
tho spokesman, "that Admiral Skrydloff
will justify the hopes of the emperor
and tho falherland, and, like the
Virgin, whose picture has just been
given him, will bring Joy and that
soon, to the people now afflicted."
Tho admiral, who was visibly affected.

accepted it as a happy presage and
adding that he would not part with
tho picture throughout tho campaign
and that lie would put all his faith
In God.
A representative of the middle classes
presented the admiral with a picture
of St. Theadosius., the miracle*
worker of Czerniakoff.
The admiral then entered a carriage '
and drove off, followed by deafening '
shouts of "Long live Skrydloff."

No Doubt ? to HI* Fate.
St. Petersburg April 20.?Mme. Verestchagin,
widow of the Russian,,
painter who went down with the Petropavlovsk,
is in such a condition of
nervous prostration that the family do
not dare inform her of the official
confirmation of her husband's death.
Even the children are not aware that
the news is true.
| The last doubt in the minds of his
relatives concerning the fate of the
painter was dissipated by a dispatch
; received from a nephew of the widow
| dated from Liao Yang saying that his
1 uncle left there to join the Petropav-'
lovsk.
Dr. Andrevsky, speaking for the family,
said It was Verestchagin's intention
to join Lieutenant General Line
vatch and accompany him to Northern
Korea. He had no intention of going
out with the fleet, the doctor said,
but it is presumed that aB there were
no operations on shore he determined
to witness a sea fight. The doctor
added that Verestchagln was strongly
opposerd to the war, but that on
his return .from Japan last winter he
declared that the entire Japanese people
demanded it and that it was unavoidable.
Vladivostock Wants Supplies.
St. Petersburg, April 20.?The population
of Vladivostock is in want of
the most necessary kinds of provisions
and. in consequence of flooded rivers
which interrupt communication, It.is
impossible to furnish them supplies.
There is also a scarcity of money.
Many inhabitants, partlculally the women
and children, are leaving the
city, abandoning their property, which
they are unable to sell. Half of the
houses in Vladivostock are empty, and
the civilian population is already reduced
to five thousand.
Skirmishes Along Yalu.
Liao Yang, April 20.?A number 'of
unimportant skirmishes are reported
along the Yalu riven Six Japanese
soldiers were killed by Russian scouts
on April 16. Firing was heard, on
April 18, but the result of the engagement
is unknown. -
Dr. Kohnstamm, Traveler, Philosopher
and Physician of RepUftr*^
Now York, April 20-?Dr. Lorenzo
J. Kohnstamm, traveler, philosopher
and physician of more than local reputation,
is dead here in a hospital for
the insane. Four years ago he suddenly
retired from a practice yielding
thousands of dollars yearly.
Ho was a member of the medical
societies of Paris, Vienna, Brussels
and Berlin and his strange action attracted
considerable attention.
Removing with his family to another
part of the city, the doctor practically
disappeared from the society ot
even his most intimate friends. Two
years later, he called at the Bellevue
hospital, where he desired to become
a- patient. Then he explained his retirement.
In 1900, ho said he had noticed
symptoms of paralysis in himself.
Without Informing anyone, he began
9 careful study of his own caso, which,
having confirmed his own suspicions,
exercise and freedom from all mental * **
effort might at least retaTd the allmeni.
His heroic struggle was In
vain, and ho desired to prepare for
deaths having settled all his affairs
with that idea in view. The phyalcian
was transferre d to Manhattan
hospital, where he remained two years
awaiting the end.
