Parsons, the eminent New York lawyer, de clared unequivocally todaj that be will support Judge farter ior pres ident, and that he will exert his in fluence to bring about Parker s e- lection. Mr. Pais ns fust in from a long drive over the beautiful Berkshire region of which Lenox is the cen tre, showed no hesitation in . ex plaining his position in the pend ing campagn. The eminent New York lawyer attired in a light suit fnntri rnA nf thnen olH.faohinnfln black alpaca coats ex-Senator Hen ry G. Davis so much affects, and having on his head a comfortable Panama bat, was sitting on the pi azza of his splendid country place, Stoneover, when a World corres pondent called on him. He seemed to be in excellent health and spirits and these facts are interesting in view 01 bis statement teat be lnvl tendsto do active work toward the election Judge Parker. It has been a dozen years since the democratic paty has had the benefit in a national campaign of the mature advice and - potent as sistance of Mr. Parsons. . In fact the eminent New York lawyer has held himself so aloof from the efforts of the democratic national mana gers during the last 12 years that the impression - has become -quie general mat flirv-rarsons naa DC- come a republican. - I was brought up as a demo- ocrat," Mr. Parsons eaid as he ush ered tbe writer into his comfortable library. "So far as I have bad par ty associations 1 nave felt that those associations ought to be with the democratic party. The difference be tween tbe democratic party and me is that I have (tuck to what I have considered to be tbe principles of the party and tbe party has not al ways done so. Furthermore, in so far as concerns the ordinary ques lions, and particularly municipal questions, the point ib often rather tbe man ibfen the party. So my reword would vary much according to the' accidental situation. "Now comes a time when the nominee i, according to my judg ment, an exceptional man for the position, and the platform, helped out by what I know of Judge Parker, makes me feel that it may be safely accepted. Putting these two thiogs together, therefore, I felt that t might 6afely follow my old allegiance to tbe party and my per sonal inclination and support my fiiend the chief judge. Mr. Parsons through hislong and active work in New York City re form movements, and particularly. through his membership in tbe City Club, bas enjoyed for years the same close relation with President Roosevelt which as one of the con spicuous leaders of the New York bar he has enjoyed with Chief JudgeYarker. In view of this fact he was asked for hie 1 opinion aB to the probable result of the election next November. After a few mo ments' careful consideration, Mr. Parsons eaid: "I have thought that what hap pened a year ago in the case of Judge Parker's friend, Judge John Clinton Gray, illustrates what may happen in New York state at the coming election. Judge Gray to his surprise and somewhat to his disappointment, was elected, al though tbe party ticket was defeat ed. That may very easily have been due to the esteem in which Judge Gray Is held by the lawyers of the state. The same considera tions apply in the case of Jndge Parker, so that it has been my o pinion that he might carry the state of New York. N 1-I observe that Mr. Cortelyoa re cognizes that New York is a doubt ful state. If New York goes dem ocratic, I can see no reason why oth er so called doubtful states may not also go democratic." . Mr. Parsons did not specify New Jersey or Connecticut or Indiana or other of those states generally classed as doubtful, but which al most, without exception, haveg one as New York has gone in presiden tial contests. . nut ne eummarizea his view as to the probable result in these strong words: I think, therefore, that Judge Patker has something better than a fighting chance. . I recognize fully the pereanal popularity of President Roosevelt and the enthusiasm which his presence creates. It must be recognized, however, that there are a considerable pumber of persons of more or less prominence or influ ence who differ with Mr. Roosevelt in respect of a great many matters with which tbe administration has to deal. Now comes the possibility of their voting for a man who in all respects is satisfactory to them. It would not at all surprise me if this was sufficient to enable Judge Par ker to carry tbe doubtful states, or enough of them against the present administration. r "What I particularly wish to say is that I and, as I believeall, of his friends have such confidence in judge Parker personally, in his courage, his firmness, his intelli gence and his capacity as to believe that he will dominate the party and protect it against any excentricities on the part of persons whose names are conspicuous in the campaign and whose identification with some things famishes cause for alarm." Mr. Parsons made it plain tbat be does not intend merely to take a passive part in tbe campaign. He never has made a practice of sneak ing at political meetings, but be will actively woikfor Judge barker in those directions in which his influ ence can be made most enective. EXECUTION OF A HIM.

General Kuroki has administered a severe defeat to the Russian forces which defended the east flank at Liao Yang, win ning separate actions at Yushulik zu and Yangee Pass. These two places are 26 miles apart, but tbe two actions were fought at tbe same time. The Russians held strong positions. Tbe thermometer regis tered over J.10 degrees Fahrenheit and the soldiers suffered cruelly from the heat and exhaustion. At Yushulikzu the Russians "bad two divisions of infantry and some artillery and they resisted the Jap anese assaults vigorously. At Yushulikzu the Japanese car ried the Russian right and left wings, but on acconnt of the main strength of the main Russian post tion they were unable then to press tbe attack. The two armies rested Sunday night facing each other. At dawn Monday the Japanese resumed tbe attack and by noon they had dislodged tbe enemy and driven him four miles toLaoholing. Daughter of a Well-Known Educa tor of the Empire- Lived Close ; to the Empress Confessed - to Sending Seditious Literature to Sol "7 diers Other News. LondoB, Aug. 4. According to the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Da;ly Tel eg) aph the youngest daughter of Professor Mersheyeffd sky, the well-known educator, has just been hanged in the fortress at schlnsselburg tor bigb treason, iiiv ery effort has been made by the Russian authorities to keep the matter from the' public because of the outburst of indignation which followed - the hanging of another young student for an alleged at tempt on the life of tbe Czar some months ago. The correspondent statep, howev er, that it has been learned that the girl, while assisting the empress some weeks ago to pack a quantity of supplies for the troops at ' the front, chiefly reading matter and delicacies, smuggled into the pack ages a number of seditious ' pam phlets, which were not discovered until some of them had got into the hands of the soldiers. When ac cused the young woman is said to have admitted her guilt and to have declared that she glorified in. the deed. She was court-martialed, found guilty of treason and promptly hanged. No announcement of the punishment haB yet been made in the official Journal, and now none is expected to ba.

Twelve torpedo destroyers, four torpedo-boat de stroyers and some gunboats emerg ed from the mouth of Port Arthur on the night of Aug. 1, but were driven back again by the Japanese warsnips on guard outside. Chicago, Aug. 3. Homer D. Call, international secretary of the butcher's organization, said today "The greatest feature of thestrike is that the meat truBt has been bro ken. Instead of the packers dis rupting the union, the disintegra tion of one of the greatest combina tions the world has ever seen has already set in. For ten years, lrom 1890 to 1900, tbe consolidation of the meat companies was carried on, and lrom liUl packing plants in this countJy the number was reduc ed to 760. "Now the tide will set the other way. The packers know that they have already lost control of a large part of thir business and taht the livestock dealers will, do all that is possible to assist in the defeat Since the strike, independent olants of Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Pitlsburg, Springfield Mass., have been working night and day. This ' trade will never be regained by the trust. "The public is supporting the in dependent plants because of tthe damaging evidence secured by the government against tbe meat mo nopoly."'
