With the echoes of the Parker telegram still ringing in their ears democraticlead- ers are undertaking to . demonstrate the ease with which the ' ''second Cleveland" is going to sweep the country this fall. The bold stand of their candidate on the money question encourages them to believe that be will carry JNew York, and with JNew York, what are termed Cleveland states New Jersey, Con; necticut, Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia.1 ' Of course they count on the solid South, and add to their list at least one of the three big doubtful , states wf the Middle West Indiana, Ilinois or' Wiscon sin. : r Maryland and West Virginia may truly be considered very doubt ful states, and the republican lead ers are much concerned as - to the outcome in both. It is not Parker, but his runniDg mate, Davis, who makes these states extremely doubt ful. The one is his home; the oth er his native state, and in both he is widely and well known. ";, : If Maryland and West Virginia go demc crat ic, it wiJ be due to; Da vis, and not to' Parker or the djem: oer fttin-plat,foitru..r,Tne.R9piibLtoaa carried both Btates in 1900. Iu these states local issues are of more vital importance this year than na tion al issues, and in potn the re publican rjarty is anything but well organized. Ihe West Virginia republicans are split on the tax issue, and are eo bitterly arrayed, the one faction against the other, that democratic success is threatened, and eveu ad mitted by soma republicans of that state. Maryland is one of those states where the race issue will not down, and it may work to the ben efit of the democrats this ' year. These local issues, combined with Davis' personal influence, will force the republicans to mske the fight of their lives for these two common wealths. But when It comes to talk of Il linois, Indiana and Wisconsin, the democrats face a more serious situ ation. In Illinois the republican? are oigaaiztd; the democrats split into tactions. McKinley carried that state four years ago and while Illinois is never considered a safe state, it .is more than likely to go for Roosevelt. There is no local is sue at this time that would give the democrats any encouragement. In Indiana, which went republi can in the laBt presidential election, the democrats will raise the Tyner iesue, and try to overcome the Fair banks' influence. They will make a personal onslaught on the presi dent in the home of the late assist ant attorney-general for the poetomce department, in the hope of winning out, but they will have to meet Fairbanks among his friends, and one reason why Fair- backs was nominated to run with Roosevelt was to carry his home state for the republican ticket. According to men who are intelli gently advised of the situation in Wisconsin, that state 1a not in doubt. While the republicans are divided into La Follette and anti La Follette factions, and are fight ing each otherviciously overthe state ticket, the followers of La Follette, like the followers of Spoooer, are all staunch Roosevelt men, and will all support the national ticket. Wis consin went republican in 1900. Then there is talk about Parker bagging Colorado on account of the strike issue; Nevada on the irriga tion issue, and Idaho and Montana because they went democratic in 1900. These states may all bs doubtful, but they have small votes in the electoral college. . fes.-ed to assaulting Miss Elsie Bid die, of Burlington, N.

The end of the mgotiatiooa came late today, after a conference .which lasted nearly all of the aftrenoon between three leaders of the strike and. a number of the. packers. . The final break resulted when the union officials insisted that" all the men who had gone out on strike be tak en back and given their old places. The packers declared this would necessitate the discharge of all the men. they had employed since the commencement of the strike, and that they could hot. and- would not consider it. .The Kwference then broke up, and the strike will con tinue. , --i' Michael '.Donnelly, president 01 the Meatau tiers , Union, . re plied to the note of the packers re ceived by him yesterday. :. In ; this note the packers suggested that another meeting be held and' ex pressed the hope that something tangible ' would result. To t hip, Mr. Donnelly replied as follows: Your letter of July 15, has been received and as you are desirous of giving every opportunity to present suggestions that may tend to a so lution of the present controversy, we desire to say that we have, in our opinion, already made such a Gresham, Or.: July 15.

It was announced tonight " by -members of the Firemen's Union: that they will go to the packers with an ultimatum,, on Monday. : They have grievances ef their own,. and they declare they do not wish' to work with ' the nonunion men -that have been placed in the plants since the beginning of the strike. : in : anticipation of . the strike .- spreading to the other trades and the possibility of bousinga large num. ber of men in their plants,' the packers caused nearly 5000 cots and blankets to be taken into the yards today. Meanwhile, every day which fails Judge Alton Brooks Parker, dem ocratic nominee for the presidency, was born at Cortland, N. Y., May 14,. 1852, -and is the son of John B and Harriet Stratton Parker. His early education was obtained in the academy and normal school at Cort land, and at the age of 16 he began teaching in order- to obtain the means to continue at school and learn the legal profession. In 1877 he was nominated by the demo crats of his district for surrogats and he was elected by a decisive majority. He was re-elected by an increased majority, ' In, 1884 he was a delegate to the democratic na tional convention, and in 1885. a delegate to the state convention that nominated David B. Hill for governor. In the latter campaign he was made chairman, of the exec utive committee and handled the campaign with great skill, the elec tion resulting in a democratic vic tory. In 1897 he was nominated for chief judge of the court of ap peals and was elected by a large majority. Judge Parker was married at Rochester in 1873 to Miss Mary Schoonmaker, and two children have been born to them, John and Bertha. The son died at the age of seven. The daughter was married in 1899 to Rev. Charles Mercer Hall. ' The Parker home is at Esopus, where the Judge delights in raising fine cattle and in cultivating email fruits. Commoner. - Chicago, July 17. This was the hottbBt day Chicago has experienc ed in three years, and three death and a score of prostrations was the result. The maximum tempera- true of 94 degrees beats any record in the weather bureau since 1901, when 103 was recorded. There' was scarcely any breeze, and the suffering was intense. In the down town district the heat was several degrees greater than the of-' fflcial records show. -. At tsn o'clock tonight the heat showed little abatement, and the opinion of the weather forecaster was that no marked decrease would be noted for a day .or two yet. MouBt Holly, N. J., July 15.

Agreeable to your sugges tion, we will meet with you and perhaps at another conterence we may be able to bring about a defi nite understanding." : Following up his note, Mr. Don nelly arranged for a meeting with the packers this att3rnoon. 1 he question 01 arbitration was taken up, and after a prolonged dis cussion the representatives . of the J unions agreed to wave the ground they had taken when they insisted that the arbitration should consider only an advance in wages, and that the scale paid prior to . May 28, should be paid pending the decision of the arbitrators. - They agreed to accept the demand of the packers that the decision of the arbitrators ehould cover the entire scope of the strike and its causes. The question of taking back I the men who had gone - out on strike was then considered. Mr. Donnelly insisted that all the men should be taken back pending the arbitration. The packers insisted upon their dec laration that the men would be taken back in the order which they applied for work, and as many of them would be given places as the packers could find room for. The packers declared that they would not discharge the men they had em ployed. Mr. Donnelly asked that the packers agree to reinstate the old men within a week, and the pack ers refused to make the agreement. He asked them if they would set a time when they would take back the old men. To this the packers replied that they would take back as many as they had room for in the order of their application for work. This final answer broke off negotiations, and the representa tives of the union left the meeting. After the conference was over, Mr. Donnelly said: "We agreed to almost everything that they asked, and insistod only on the reinstatement of our men. We would have baen willing to wait a month if necessary if- they would have agreed to take them back at some time. They would not agree to anything on this point except as stated in their letter, that tney would taae tnem as last as they needed them in the order in which they applied, and there was nothing to do but break off." 'A danger that : confronts the strikers became apparent today when they learned that over 200 Polish butchers- have deserted them since the strike began. The fact did not become known until growing among nearly 12,UUU o. ti er employes at the stockyards. The temper of the union men was reflected by President Donnelly, who said: ' "We will die fighting before sub mitting to arbitration as proposed by the packers. Their suggestion of arbitration would mean the com plete annihilation of trade unions in the stockyards." Chief ot Police O'Neil has recom mended to.
