Choice for Vice-President LEADERS ARE FAVORABLE Speaker Fears He Would Be come Dead Politically. WANTS TO REMAIN IN HOUSE White House Conference Shows the Illinois Man May Find Public Sentiment So Strong He Will Be Forced to Accept. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 2. At a conference of Repub lican leaders at the White House the name of Speaker Cannon was repeatedly mentioned In connection with the Vice Presidency, and by a majority of those present Cannon -was agreed upon as the most available and the most desirable running mate for Roosevelt Cannon, however, informed the Presi dent and those with him that he did not want the nomination, and would fight against It to the end. Notwithstanding his opposition, there is a very marked movement in Cannon's direction, and it looks now as if he would find himself be fore the Chicago Convention much as Roosevelt was situated at Philadelphia four years ago. Cannon's friends have advised him to engage a political manager and to fight against the "Cannon boom," yet they ear that his unusual personal popularity is such that if his name is once brought before the Republican Convention, he will be placed on the ticket, and protestations win bo unavailing. Moreover, It is known Cannon's nomination would be very grat ifying to Roosevelt. While appreciating the honor of going on the ticket. Cannon does not want to relinquish the second most powerful posi tion in government for an office In which he will have no power, and the accept ance of which would be a stop toward bis political obliteration. Once he loses the Speakership, Cannon knows his political career will bo practically at an end. At the conference party politics were thoroughly discussed. The matter of choosing a National chairman was also carefully gone over. It is understood that It was deemed advisable to permit the question of the chairmanship to lay In abeyance. The availability of Senator Pen rose, of Pennsylvania, the protege of Sen ator Quay, and Governor Humphrey, of New Jersey, as chairman, was discussed. Political wiseacres believe that the choice rests between these two. GRIGSBY WILL GO IN JULY. District Attorney for Alaska Hands in His" Resignation. ' OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. May 2.

SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN. PARIS, May 3. The feeling Is general here that Emperor William, of Germany, is going out of his way to Insult France, and the anti-German element In France is making capital out of the recent speeches of the Kaiser along this line. His remarks on Sunday at the opening of the bridge at Manz, when he expressed the conviction that the bridge would ren der all service expected from It if at some future day it had to be used for traffic of a serious character, indicated a desire to remind the German people that their re lations with France are doubtful. This Is important. In view of the fact that here Is at present no diplomatic In cident of the remotest gravity pending between the French and German govern ments. Indeed, from all outward appear ances, there Is not a cloud on the Euro pean diplomatic horizon, and, consequent ly, it is not surprising that the French people are unable to account for the Ger man Emperor's manifestations of ill-humor with France, otherwise than that he Is displeased at the renewal of friendly relations with England and Italy. AS KUROPAKIN DESIRES. He Wires the Czar He Is Glad the Japanese Have Crossed Yaul. PARIS, May 3. The St. Petersburg cor espondent of the Echo de Paris, in a dis patch this morning, says a high officer of the general staff, made the following statement to him: "General Kuropatkln has telegraphed the Emperor expressing satisfaction that the Japanese have crossed the Talu, be cause this lengthens their lino of opera tions, whereas the Russians are approach ing their base. '"General Kuropatkln will probably allow- General ICuroki's 30,000 men to ad vance and attempt the siege of Port Ar thur, but General Smyrnoft and General Stoessel are disposing of the 33,000 men under their command so as not to allow the. Japanese to reach that place. "It Is supposed that a battle for the de fense of the entrance to the Kwang Tung Peninsula is imminent. "General Kuropatkln can send troops to Ylnkow or Port Arthur within 24 hours, If he think It desirable, to attack the Jap anese In the rear. "The fighting so far has consisted of mere skirmishes and there have been no seYlous battles. Wo are convinced that the Japanese will do their utmost to Im mediately make things warm, but General Kuropatkln will not assume the offensive before the end of May or the middle of June, when he will have the 500,000 men ho asked for." Japan Is After Torpedo-Boat. NEWPORT, R. I., May 2. Two Jap anese naval officers, whose names could not bo learned, today inspected the sub marine torpedo-boat Protector, which lat er received orders to sail immediately. Her destination is unknown, but it Is be lieved to be Bridgeport, Conn., where are located the works of her owners, the Lake Torpedo Boat Company. The Jap anese officers were in this city about five hours, arriving from New York on the Wlckford boat and returning by the Fall River lino tonight. It is under stood that they will leave New York for the Pacific Coast and sail for Yoko hama on May 19. Neither registered while here and both refused to be inter viewed. Edgar Fawcett, the Author. LONDON. May 2. Edgar Fawcett, the American author, died here this morning after being unconscious for several days, aged 57 years. Death was caused by an internal disorder which has not yet been determined. Only a servant was present at the time of his death. 1 10 HOSE K. H. rilAsE, President. PORTLAND. OREGON. America's ORIGINAL MALT WHISKY Without a Rival Today MALT ON T SI Japanese Had Russians Well Cornered. FRONTTWENTY MILES LONG Yalu Battle Was Fought Ac cording to Programme. SEVERAL ADVANCES FEIGNED Crossing of Troops to Islands Above and Below WIju Was Only to Conceal the Route of Their Principal Movements. SPECIAL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN. TOKIO, May 3. As the details of Sun day's battle and the Japanese victory at arms, and maneuvers preceding, come to hand it is plain that the plans of the Japanese general staff were followed to the minutest detail. The main attack was made by the Japanese right wing, which consisted of the Twelfth division. It crossed the Talu 13 miles above "Wlju at the same point where the passage of the river was negotiated by the Japanese army of Invasion in 1S94. The Guard's Division, constituting tne center, and the Second Division, forming the left wing, crossed respectively to the Islands above and helow "Wlju. These were feigned advances, designed to cover the main movement, and were to be con tinued In the event of the success of the contemplated advance. Opposite Sukuchln lies Hushan Island, In the center of which is an eminence called Tiger's Hill, which commands both sides of the river. theTwelfth Division, having effected lodg ment on this island of April 29, drove tho enemy from the banks, and crossed the main channel of the river the next day. Meanwhile, the Guards and the Sec ond Division also crossed, their lines ex tending nearly to Antung, with the re serves In the center on the main road. Thus, at dawn of May 1, the army had a front of 20 miles, with the left near Antung and the right opposite Mako. Wjen tho advance was ordered, the Twelfth Division, wading the river with the water waist-deep, rushed the enemy's entrenchments, ultimately swinging around toward Chlu Tien Cheng, while the Guards and the Second Division con verged near the same point. Thereupon the Russians retired before the fierce Japanese attack, which was directed from the three points. The exact extent and location of the movements along tho Lower Talu River are somewhat obscured by the confusion of geographical names. Kullen Cheng, which' was the main object of the Japan ese attack, the spelling of which Is given In the Russian dispatches as Turen Chen, and in the Toklo reports as Chlu Tien Cheng, Is one the west bank of the Talu, a few miles north of Antung. The pre liminary operations which resulted in the Japanese occupation of Kosan, or Khus san, also took place on the west bank of the Talu, thus enabling this force to move down from the north in conjunction with the main Japanese attack delivered on Sunday morning against Kullen Cheng. The fall of this strategically important place made the holding of Antung, nearly opposite to Wlju, across the Talu, impos sible, and caused the Russians to burn and abandon the town. It is evident that the fighting has been confined to the Talu estuary which is now in the hands of the Japanese. Feng "Wang Cheng, to which the Russians have fallen back, Is some 30 or 40 miles north of Antung, or inside of the famous "Wil low Palisade, which was once the bound ary of Manchuria. This point also controls the famous Pe kln road, the great caravan and trade route running via llao Tang, Peng "Wang Cheng and Antung, and connecting the Chinese capital with Corea. MANCHURIA IS CHOSEN GROUND Kuropatkln Will Not Try to Crush Enemy in Corea. SPECLVL CABLE TO THE LONDON TIMES AND PORTLAND OREGONIAN. BERLIN, May 3. The report of the in itial success of the Japanese land forces has been received with comparative silence by the German press, but never theless it excites widespread admiration. In certain quarters, attempts are being made to minimize the significance of the achievement by pointing out that the en tire Japanese army was opposed merely by the vanguard of the Russians, which consisted principally of Cossack regi ments. It Is believed that while the original plans of General Kuropatkin prDVlded for the defense of the position captured by the Japanese with an army of 52,0)0 men, he ultimately learned it "was impossiblj to make provision for more than 30,0u0 at this point, and therefore the force was entirely inadequate to withstand the Jap anese advance. Still, on the other hanJ, well-known German military experts who have carefully investigated ihe matter, and who have followed every movement with great care, declare Russia has appar ently entirely forgotten the lessons of the Chlno-Japanese war, especially that of October. 1S94, when the Japanese, by a bold series of maneuvers, outflanked a Chinese army numbering nearly 30,000 men on the west bank of the Talu and droe it from its position with great slaughter. The Japanese, profiting by the lesions learned at that time, seem to hav re peated, although on a larger cale, the same tactics with the same result. The pro-Russian .element here insists that the Russians "did not attach very much importance to tho maintenance of the position on the Talu. contenting them selves with retiring after fighting for a short time. It is declared that General Kuropatkln's plan of campaign provides for crushing the Japanese in Manchuria and not in Corea. It is geaarally ad mitted, however, that a decisive battle will probably be fought later near Liao Tang within a fortnight WILL CONTINUE TO RETIRE. Russian Programme Is Only to Keep in Touch With Enemy. ST. PETERSBURG. May 2. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Associated Press was notified that beyond the fact of the re treat of the Russians before the over whelming superiority of the Japanese on the Talu River, no details have been re ceived since the report of General Sassu lltch, commander of the Second Siberian Army Corps, yesterday of the retirement from Chlu Tien Cheng to Antung. It Is quite possible that the loss on both sides in the week's fighting may reach the figures given by the Japanese, as the re serves were not brought up to support the Russian position at Chlu Tien Cheng, where the fighting was the heaviest. The Russians made a special effort to hold as long as possible the heights of Cbo San on an Island opposite Chlu Tien Cheng, whence their guns commanded a considerable stretch of the river to the south, but a Japanese battery on a hill above Wlju dominated the position which tho Russians oventually were forced to relinquish, thus losing the key to the river. The desperate character of the struggle there may have been due to the necessity for gaining time for the with drawal of the Russian detachments above and below. General Sassulitch was in command of the entire force on the Talu, which extended over a distance of 30 miles, with a reserve support 15 miles back. The whole, according to the best luformation obtainable did not exceed 17, 000 men. What was the actual force en gaged is not known at present, though probably it was not more than 5000 men, If It was so large. No confirmation has yet been received of the reported capture of 2S Hussian quick firing guns, or of the wounding of Gen eral Sassultch and General Kashtalinsky, .the latter In command of the Third Divis ion, East Siberian troops, at the TalU River or the burning of Antung. It Is confirmed that a village of thatched hustu was set on fire by a shell. The statement that the Russians have fallen back to Feng "Wang Cheng is de clared to be untrue. The advance has retired and will continue to retire before the main army of the enemy, according to the Russian programme, but it will keep in constant touch with the enemy, and skirmishing of a more or less serious character Is expected as General Kurokl advances. It Is considered absolutely nec essary to always know where the main army of the enemy is. The general staff believes General Ku rokl's forward march on Feng "Wang Cheng will be accompanied by landings at Ta Tung Kau, at the head of Corea Bay. and not far from the mouth of the Talu River, and other places along the coast as far as Taku Shan, under the protection of warships. These troops can be kept in touch with GeneraV Ku rokl's left wing. It might also be eas ier to get up a portion of the guns from places down the coast than drag them all up the mountains toward Toltln Pass "from tho Talu. Th Japanese are ex pected to turn tho Kusslan position at Feng "Wang Cheng. At army headquarters here, there Is not the slightest evidence that the Rus sians consider they have sustained a reverse. The crossing of the Talu by the enemy was taken as a matter of course, and as part of the programme. The losses are regarded as pawns in the real game which is to follow. Russians Stubbornly Resist. CHICAGO, May 2. A Daily News spe cial from Kobe says: "Details of the heavy fighting in the neighborhood- of Chiu Tien Cheng re ceived here this morning state that tho Russians made a stubborn resistance to the Japanese advance, but were driven successively out of seven lines of trenches." Russians Fall Back in Confusion. LONDON, May 2. A dispatch to the Central News from Seoul says that after the Japanese charge which resulted in the occupation of the Russian lines at Chi Cheng, the Russians fell back In con fusion. The Japanese, the dispatch con tinued, have now secured a firm hold on tne Manchurian side of the Talu. I DO IT NOW! t I . . " f - ! :-- : . END TO MACHINE Carter Harrison Loses Chicago Primaries. HEARST FORCES DOMINATE Hopkins Instead of Fighting Gives the Editor Aid. WILL BE NAMED FOR MAYOR Present Executive of Chicago Sees in His Defeat an-End to His' Presi dential Aspirations and'Also His Rule as Boss. CHICAGO, May 2. (Special.)-In the hottest primaries ever witnessed In Chi cago, the Harrison machine today went down to defeat at the hands of the Hearst-Hopkins combine. The unofficial figures give Hearst 217 delegates; Harri son, 202; Hopkins, 13, and unlnstructed 32. Dividing the unlnstructed equally, and giving Hearst the Hopkins' vote, the de feat of Harrison is complete. Mayor Harrison was fighting for his po litical life. He realized that if. defeated this time, It meant the end of his Pres idential aspirations, and the close of his political career In Chicago and the State of Illinois. When William Jennings Bryan came here to declare himself on the New Tork platform, he was taken In hand by" the Harrison and Hearst forces, and the Hopkins men were not permitted to ap proach him. Out of this grew the belief that Harrison and Hearst had formed an alliance to kill off State Chairman Hop kins. Within a few days, however, the Harrison men learned that the Hearst and Hopkins men were working secretly together, and then the fight became open. Up to the clash, Hearst had been work ing both factions against each other to his own advantage. Notwithstanding tho stentorian cry of proposed violence by the police at the polls and attempts at fraud, the tremen dous vote was cast with very little dis order. If any fraud wa3 practiced. It was not the "work of Harrison men. There was some sporadic fighting, and an In toxicated man nearly precipitated a riot In the Twenty-ninth Ward. Many Repub licans voted at the primaries, thus help ing to widen the Democratic schism. Two hours before the polls closed the Hearst paper issued" flaming extras announcing a landslide for the editor, but as the count progressed, the contest became ex ceedingly close, the returns from each ward constantly changing the lead of the contestants. It Is certain that the Hearst Hopkins combine will now proceed to smash every vestige of the Harrison ma chine. Hopkins, as a reward for his ef forts, will probably be supported for the Mayoralty by the Hearst influence. CHRISTIAN PARTY COMES OUT It Declares for Direct Legislation and Government Ownership. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 2. The National committee and the delegates to the Na tional Convention to the National Chris tian party of the United States, which is to nominate a ticket for the next Presi dential election, resumed- Its session to day.

Before one of the largest audiences ever assembled In Alexander Hall, ex-President Cleveland delivered the Stafford-Little lecture to night on "The Government in the Chi cago Strike of ISM." Mr. Cleveland was greeted with enthusiastic applause when President Wilson Introduced him, saying? "Mr. Cleveland stands today as the most prominent man in the United States and needs no introduction, especially to a Princeton audience." The balcony was packed with under graduates and townspeople, while the seats on the lower floor were reserved for professors and their wives, together with prominent visitors. Mr. Cleveland reviewed the history of the strike and of the Government's in tervention. In sustaining the action of the United States Circuit Court, which ordered the imprisonment of Debs and his associate oflicers of the American Railway Union for disobeying its injunc tions, Mr. Cleveland said: "The Supreme Court of the United States has written the concluding words of this history, tragical In many of its details, and In every page provoking sober reflection. Nevertheless, even those most nearly related by executive responsi bility to the troublesome days whose story Is told, may at this time congratulate themselves that they have had to do with the marking out the way and clear ing the path, now unchangeably es tablished, that shall hereafter guide our Nation safely and surely in the exercise of all the functions belonging to it which represent the "peoples' trust. No Hope of Finding Admirai a bo.. MOSCOW, May 2. The SIa7os Port Arthur correspondent reports that the re pairs to the Injured battleships have almost been completed.

Officials and citizens gathered m large numbers to witness the auspicious event which set ih motion tho forv.es that are to transform the building plans Into beautiful structures. Never have the magnificent grounds ap peared to better advantage. Nature seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion.

The site of the Administration building was chosen- for the ceremony because of its advantage In position, overlooking Uie entire grounds.
