PARKER IN FEAR
Murphy the Man Who
Made Him Speak.
LOYAL M'OARREN SUFFERS
Grout Would Have Won With
No Word From Esopus.
sHILL COMES OUT TRIUMPHANT
His Nerve Falling Him at the Criti
cal Time In Gubernatorial Fight
Results In His Being Lauded
as the Peerless Leader.
NEW YORK, Sept 22. (Special.) A
Saratoga dispatch to tha Tribune follows:
"By sacrificing McCarren, while under
pressure from Judge Parker, at Esopus,
Hill emerges from the turmoil of the
Democratic Convention the unchallenged
boss of the state machine, -while the dele
gates have received an object lesson in
the humiliation of McCarren of what may
happen if Parker is elected President.
"McCarren took his political life in his
hand and accomplished the nomination of
ex-Judge Parker. Over and over again he
received assurances that Parker would
keep his hands off. Up to 11 o'clock Con
troller Grout, McCarren's candidate, was
in the lead for flrst place on the ticket.
Then came the pressure from Esopus..
AVxten this was applied, Hill weakened
under it and left McCarren unable to do
the lighting alone. McCarren and Grout
went down together, taking Edward M.
Shepard, the choice of Parker and Charles
P. 'Murphy for Governor, "with them.
"Out of the scrimmage comes Hill as a
magnanimous hero, lauded by Sheehan,
Murphy and others as the peerless leader
of the state Democracy, with first mort
gage on the first place in the Parker Cab
inet, In case Parker should win.
-Htll wanted Grout for Governor, and
could have nominated him if he had had
McCarren's nerve. He -did not have it.
Parker betrayed McCarren because of
fear of Charles P. Murphy. Murphy men
now look forward to the extension of
Tammany's power over the Brooklyn ma
chine. "The ticket is not regarded as a strong
one by politicians who know the condi
tions in Albany County. The platform is
regarded as a fine product of the political
confidence game factory at Wolfert's
Roost. It is full of denunciation of Re
publican measures, but there Is no definite
plan to correct any of the alleged abuses."
WITH. TAMMANY IN A PINCH.
Parker Refused to Speak Until Ho
Saw Murphy Would Be Downed.
BROOKLYN, Sept. 22. (Special.) The
Eagle today says:
"A word from Judge Parker at Esopus
killed the Grout boom and made Justice
Herrick the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor. After IS hours' ceaseless wrangling
and bitter conflict among the leaders an
agreement was still impossible until there
came a telephone message from Esopus.
McCarren and Hill would have gone into
the convention and nominated Grout over
the protest of Tammany Hall, but for the
interposing will of Judge Parker. It was
a hard task to persuade the Presidential
candidate to make an absolute statement
to be used to kill oft Grout, but the .situa
tion grew so alarmingly mixed that the
solicited Interference from Esopus "was
made."
Editorially, the Eagle says:
"Judge Herrick is able, vigorous, inde
pendent and aggressive. He has not whol
ly kept out of political management since
he became Judge, but country Judges of
neither party do that. He has been op
posed to the policy and to the predomi
nance of David B. Hill since the latter be
came a resident of Albany County. Her
rick has always been opposed to Tam
many, and opposed by Tammany. Yet, by
the Irony of politics, Tammany has been
forced to swallow him and will give him
its customary support He knows the
fidelity of the Tammany lash, and he
knows how to lay the lash on in any polit
ical campaign."
ENDS FEAR OF APATHY.
Herald Is Positive the Torpid Cam
paign Will Be Enlivened.
NEW YORK, Sept 22. (Special.) The
Herald says of the Saratoga convention:
"The enthusiastic and unanimous ac
tion by the united Democracy will, not
only enliven the torpid campaign, but will
give a new and powerful impulse to Judge
Parker's auspicious candidacy. Now that
the Democracy of this great state has
plunged into the Presidential contest with
tremendous earnestness and unanimity
under peculiar conditions, which bid fair
to etrengthen Immensely the Democratic
nominee's chances for carrying New York,
there is no reason to fear that the most
momentous election in our National his
tory will go by default under the wither
ing influence of public apathy."
REJOICES HERRICK WILL GO.
Tribune Holds His Political Actlvi
ties a Reproach to Bench.
NEW YORK, Sept 22. (Special.) The
Tribune makes the following editorial ref
erence to the Saratoga convention:
The delegates had as much to say
about it as about the rise and fall of the
tide. A strong man desired by the inde
pendent Democrats, euch a man as Shep
ard, Grout or Jerome, was ruthlessly
thrust aside and the most notorious ex
ample of judicial impropriety in tho State
of New York put forward. The Demo
cratic habit of turning in -desperation to
Judges for candidates for political office
should give us candidates who would at'
least command respect That Justice Her
rick never has enjoyed. However unfit ho
may be for the Governor's office, his com
mission will remove from "the bench a
man whose indecent political activities
there have been a Teproach to our courts
and have tended to bring the adminis
tration of Justice into contempt"
BOLTS NOMINATfON OF HERRICK
Pest Considers Him an Adept In Dis
reputable Arts of . Politics.
NEW YORK, Sept - 22. (Special.) Tho
Evening Post which is supporting Par
ker, today bolts the nomination of Judge
Herrick for Governor. In an editorial it
says:
"The Post cannot advise anybody to
vote for Herrick. His ability we do not
question. But are we to attack Odelllsm
with a candidate who is an adept in all
the disreputable arts of Democratic poll
tics In Albany County? Are we to. preach
judicial propriety while nominating a man
who has been tho local party. boss, though
a Judge? Earnestly desiring. as It -docs
the success of the Democratic National
ticket th Evening Post has Its own char
acter and consistency to sustain, and will
not support Herrick for Governor.
"In passing by Jerome and Sheehan to
nominate him, the Democratic Convention;
deliberately threw away Its greatest op
portunity." The New York Sun, on the othsr hand,
bolts the Republicab. ticket It says:
In our opinion, public welfare will .be
best subserved by voting for Roosevelt
and. Fairbanks in the Republican column
and for Herrick and Harrison In the Dem
ocratic Sweep all of Odell's creatures,
great and small. Into the Hudson River."
TERMS HIGGINS NO MAN'S MAN
Senator Piatt Confident Republican
Nominee Will Win.
NEW YORK, Sept 22. SpeclaL) The
New York Tribune today Quotes Senator
Tom Piatt as follows: ,
"It can be safely assumed that the Re
publican state ticket headed by Hlggins
and Bruce, even though tho names of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks were not inevi
tably linked with theirs, will sweep the
state. Hlggins is not any man's man. He
is every man's man. He has been and is
Just as sincerely xay friend as any one in
public life has ever been."
Herftck Will Resign at Once.
ALBANY, N. Y., Sept 22,-JustIce Her
rick, Democratic nominee for Governor,
will resign from the Supreme Court bench
as soon as he can finish the legal work
now before him. He has written to Pre
siding Justice Charles R Parker, of the
appellate division, third division, request
ing that another Justice be designated
to preside at the September trial term,
which will convene here next Monday.
His term will expire on January 1, 1S06.
... Among the telegrams of congratulation
received today was Ji message from Gov
ernor Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio, who is
a distant cousin of the candidate.
' Regards Herrick as Strong Man.
NEW YORK, Sept 22. Special.) Tho
World today says:
"The nomination of Judge Herrick for
Governor gives to the Democracy a can
didate who at least wears no boss's collar
and wears no man's tag. His ability and
honesty will be Questioned by none. He
has in the past been the resolute oppo
nent of Hill and the Tammany bosses."

SPOKANE, Wash., Sept 22. Chief
Joseph, the famous Nez Perces warrior,
is dead. He had been in poor health
for some time He was sitting by his
campfire on the Colville Reservation
Wednesday afternoon and was seen by
Indians near by to fall from his seat to
the ground. When they lifted him it
was fpund that he had died from heart
disease.
Henry M. Steele, tho Indian agent at
Nespllem", sent a .messenger with a dis
patch to the Spokesman-Review, and
the message was telegraphed from
Wilbur tonight
Joseph's funeral will be one of the
most impressive held In the recent his
tory of the Indians in the Northwest
Although far away from the beloved
Wallowa Valley of Eastern Oregon,
which he called his home, he was still
surrounded by a few followers who,
like him, were exiled on the Nespellm
reservation by the Government.
NO SUPERIOR AS WARRIOR.
Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perces, in
the opinion of Army officers had no
OF THE NEZ PERCES
superior in the annals of Indian warfare
for diplomacy, strategy, quick and elusive
marches and calm courage. In the "old
days he roamed from the California line
to the Canadian boundary; and from the
Blue Mountains to the summit of the
Rockies.
Invasion of that section by . whites
brought about the need of a new Indian
treaty. Joseph and his band refused -to be
moved from their valleys. In 1877,an at
tempt was made to put him on a reserva
tion. He went on the warpath with White
Bird and Looking Glass. The war lasted
for three months, with General Howard In
pursuit and for ten weeks Joseph fought
a running battle. In which, with 800 bucks,
encumbered with families and stock, he
successfully defied 40 companies of regu
lars, besides large forces of volunteers
and Indian scouts.
After fcard fighting in Central Idaho, he
escaped over the Lolo trail to Montana,
eluded forces stationed at tho mouth of
the canyon and started for the Canadian
border. He was finally captured by Gen
eral Miles, after the chase of Joseph had
been a running battle for 1500 miles.
The United States lost 105 officers and
men killed and 120 wounded. Fifty set
tlers were massacred. Since then Joseph
had been peaceful, but had refused to re
turn to the reservation, and had made fre
quent trlp3 to Washington, D. C, where
he was lionized. He and Miles were great
friends.
' Joseph's last publio appearance was July
4 of this year, when he personally led a
big parade of Ne? Perces In a parade at
Nespellm. The old chief donned war paint
and full regalia, and at the head of 400
savages In all the trappings of war gave
a faithful illustration of earlier days.
After the parade Joseph made a brief
speech, telling the Indians of the won
ders of Washington City and of his desire
to spend his remaining days in peace and
quiet on the reservation.
Chief Joseph himself said ho was only 50
years of age, but Major Scott Chief Jo
seph's "best friend, says Chief Joseph was
63 at the time of his death.
M0RM0NISM TENDER A BAN.
Hungary Issues an Order Declaring
Their Teachings Undesirable.
VIENNA, Sept 22. Count Tisza, the
Hungarian Minister of the Interior, has
rendered a decision prohibiting Mormon
propaganda within Hungary, upon the
ground that such a movement is not de
sirable from the standpoints of both state
policy and religion.
The immediate occasion of the decision
was the expulsion of two Mormon mls
slnoaries Franklin Plngreo and William
Wetsol who came from Salt Lake to Tes
asvar 18 months ago and attempted to
organize a Mormon community among
Hungarians who formerly had resided in
Utah.
The two missionaries were promptly ex
pelled, whereupon their Hungarian friends
appealed to the Minister of the Interior,
the result being the present decision.

Cladot Informed the correspondent of the
Associated Press that tho repairs to the
protected cruiser Bogatyr had been com

cruisers Gromoboi and Rossia did not
necessitate their going into drydock, and
that both were fit to resume active serv

Cladot says the Russians will be unable
to recapture Port Arthur, in the event
of its fall, without having the mastery

JAPANESE PUSH. NORTHWARD
Situation at Mukden, However, Con
tinues Quiet.
MUKDEN. Sept 22. The situation here
continues quiet. Small parties of Japan
ese sklrmlshera are pushing northward on
the road from Bentslaputz to Sushan.
It Is stated by Russian spies that Mar
quis Oyama has detached a considerable
force to co-operate with tho army before
Port Arthur.
The Russians have taken many Chun
chuses prisoners, among them being found
a number of Chinese regular soldiers.
The weather has turned suddenly cold.
The supply of uniforms is Inadequate, and
the .soldiers are being supplied with Chi
nese padded overcoats, which have been
bought In large quantities.
Many Chinese families are leaving Muk
den. The Chinese are extensively coun
terfeiting Russian money.
Chinese have brought Into Mukden 10
soldiers "who have been thought either
killed or captured at Llao Yang. They
had been rescued and cared for by natives,
who fed them and brought them into the
Russian lines. The Chinese had been re
warded by the officers of the regiment.
The surgeon of one of the Siberian regi
ments, who was captured at Llao Yang,
has arrived here. The Japanese found him
tending the .wounded. They treated him
well, entertained him at a concert In the
famous Uao Yang. Summer Garden, and
offered him a position as surgeon in the
Japanese Army. Finding that he pre
ferred his own regiment, the ..Japanese
good-naturedly escorted Jilm to the lines
and allowed him to return to Mukden.
Captain Shubert and four Buriat Cos
sacks Tiave returned from a long scout
south- of the Japanese main army. The
Captain "brings Important Information re

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 22. The Jap
anese operations against Mukden are rap
Idly developing. General Kuropatkln an
nounces that the outposts yesterday tried
to capture Kaoutou Pass, commanding
the road to Fushun. The Russians are of
fering a stubborn resistance, which is
likely to retard decisive operations.
Kuropatkln has placed strong forces
astride the Mukden and Fushun roads to
Bentslaputze. The Russians are also
holding all the passes of the Da Range,
eastward of Bentslaputze.
A dispatch from Harbin announces that
another Japanese regiment is moving

CONFERENCES IN NEW YORK
Judge Meets Taggart, Williams, Gor
man and Other Leaders Ridder
Gives Suggestions for Work
Among the Germans.
NEW YORK. Sept. 22. Judge Parker's
second visit to New York to confer with
Democratic campaign managers was made
today. His time was so fully occupied
that he was compelled to eat luncheon in
his apartments. He was joined at dinner
tonight by William F. Sheehan, Thomas
Taggart and W. S. Rodie- Judge Parker
has followed the programme of keeping
his own counsel concerning the business
he has with his callers. From the time
he arrived at the Hoffman House, at 9:45
A. M., until nearly 11 P. M., the stream
of vlsjtors to his apartments was con
tinuous. ,
Judge Parker left Esopus at 7:05 A. M.,
and upon arriving in New York drove to
the Hoffman House, where he reached his
apartments without being recognized.
He then had word sent to such persons
as he wished to see.
Judge Parker's stay is uncertain. He
told some of his visitors he should re
main two or three days, and that he was
not certain of his plans. He may return
home tomorrow evening, and he may not
leave here until Saturday.
Senator Gorman was one of the flrst
visitors. He spent nearly two hours with
the Judge. Chairman Taggart had a long
audience with Judge Parker during the
afternoon. He said the chances of carry
ing Indiana for the Democrats are excelr
lent, and he believed the party was
strengthened In every doubtful state by
the ability of the New York Democrats
to harmonize their differences In naming
the state ticket.
Representative John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, leader of ,the minority In the
House of Representatives, introduced
several members of Congress and others
who have engaged to make speeches dur
ing the campaign.
Representative William S. Cowherd,
chairman of the Congressional committee,
in the interest of a big fund to carry out
his work, made a personal appeal to the
National Democratic candidate. He urged
the Importance of decreasing the Repub
lican majority in tho House. Judge Park
er Is greatly Interested In the Congres
sional canvass, and as a result of Mr.
Cowherd's call. It Is said a more stirring
campaign generally may be expected.
Herman Ridder, editor of the New York
Staats Zeltung, who has undertaken the
campaign work among 'German-Americans
In what he calls the six doubtful
states, gave the National candidate sug
gestions for general work. These doubt
ful states, as he defines them, are New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin. His plan is to
have all the work of the National cam
paign concentrated on these states. He
declares it a waste of time, energy and
money to labor for states which are cer
tain for one or the other.
