feNLY HOPE IS IN CITY VOTE
f the Big Democratic Organization
' Supports the Ticket, the Repub-
Jlcan Lead In the Country Dis
tricts May Be Overcome.
OREGONIAN BWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, July 30. Tammany, that groat
political organization that went to St.
SJouls -with the sole idea of preventing
jJTudge Parker's nomination, and which
signally failed of accomplishing its pur
pose; Tammany, whose delegates were
humiliated by Hill Instructions, and
Sorced to vote for Parker against their
rtrill; Tammany, that pranced into St.
Xouis showing Its teeth and letting out
howl after howl, and retraced its steps
to New York with its tail between its
Jegs; this Tammany has risen out of the
dust of its recent humiliation, and is in
. position to receive overtures from Par
Jier leaders.
In Greater New York Tammany knows
Its power, and it Intends to exert it. Hill,
who triumphed over Tammany In the
State Convention, must now seek Tam
many's aid for his candidate; Parker,
despised by Tammany, must make terms
to command Tammany's support in No
vember. And all because Parker, in order to
carry New York State, must roll up on
unprecedented vote in Greater New York.
It is admitted that the up-state vote will
go Republican; that Roosevelt can carry
New York State, outside of New York
City, and the result in the state-at-large
will depend entirely upon the majority by
which the Democrats carry Greater New
York.
Seek to Placate Tammany.
Nothing can exert so powerful an In
fluence on the vote of this great city
as Tammany. If Tammany enthuses, and
enters the campaign heartily supporting
the ticket, that ticket will win by a
handsome figure, so far as New York
City Is concerned. If Tammany takes no
Interest in the campaign, the result will
be far different.
For this reason Parker men are con
sidering means of reaching Tammany,
and it is probable that Tammany will be
allowed, to name the Democratic nominee
for Governor, in exchange for its pledge
of support on the National Democratic
ticket. There is talk of Mayor McClellan
for Governor, but McClellan has more
patronage at his disposal ae Mayor than
he would have as Governor, and some
other man will probably be selected.
One thing is certain, however, if any
deal is made between Parker and Tam
many, Tammany will demand assurances
that Dave Hill is to be kept in the back
ground, and Is not to be too intimately
connected with the Parker campaign. Hill
is worse than poison to the Tammany
tiger, and one dose this year is enough.
New Appropriations Chairman.
If Senator Fairbanks is elected Vice
President, and la succeeded in the Senate
by Representative Hemenway, Speaker
Cannon, at the opening of the 59th Con
gress, will be required to select a now
chairman of the committee on appropria
tions. And he will "find it a more difficult
task than that which confronted him
when he designated Hemenway for this
place.
The ranking member of this committee,
as it is now organized, Is General Henry
H. Bingham, of Pennsylvania. Bingham
was ranking member two years ago, when
Hemenway was chosen, but he was
jumped over then because it was not
thought he could handle this Important
committee. Ho will, in all probability, be
jumped over again, if another appoint
ment is to be made.
The third .man on the committee is Rep
resentative H. C. Van Voorhls, of Ohio.
During the 11 years that he has been in
Congress, he has never been prominent,
nor identified with general legislation in
the House. It is hardly probable that a
man eo little known would be made chair
man of this great committee.
No Member Competent.
It is possible that James T. McCleary,
of (Minnesota, the next member, might be
chosen, though he Is hardly of sufficient
caliber tc fill the place. As a matter of
fact there Is hardly a member of the pres
ent committee who Is competent to be
come chairman. Representative Llttauer,
of New York, of Army glove fame, could
not be chosen; Representative Brownlow,
of Tonneseee, does not meet requirements,
and in fact no other Republican member
is quite what is wanted. The most desir
able, Elmer J. Burkett, of Nebraska, is
slated for the Senate, and will not be a
member of the next House. It seems prob
able that if Hemenway goes to the Sen
ate, Speaker Cannon will appoint some
outsider as chairman of the appropria
tions committee.
PIVOT IS NEW YORK.
Principal Battlefield of the Campaign
Will Be There.
WASHINGTON, July 30. (Special) It
will require 239 electoral votes to win the
Presidential election this year. "Will
Roosevelt, the Republican standard
bearer, or Parker, the leader of the
Democracy, attain the coveted number?
From this time forward there will be
rouoh figuring with a basis of 239 promi
nent in all numerical combinations.
In 1900 the Republicans carried S0
states and rolled up 314 electoral votes
for William McKinley. The Democrats
were hopelessly In the rear, with only lfi
elates and 162 electoral votes. But it is
admitted everywhere that the campaign
-VWEb ?v ,'&&Z,
now opening is to be a much different I
one from those of four and eight years
ago.
It is noteworthy that since Taggart was
elected National chairman nearly all the
political writers have been placing In
diana in the list of doubtful states, which
leads to the main query: "What are the
states that the Democrats have to carry,
and which ones do the Republicans hope
to carry?
.Two tables under the heading "Hopa to
Carry" will naturally contain the samo
states in a few instances. The following
tables will show this:

It will be noticed that the Republicans

cans by no means concede New Tork,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Utah or West
Virginia to the Democrats, but call them
doubtful.
To discover what are the Simon-pure
doubtful states, however, one must first
place in a class by themselves the really
Democratic states of the South, which
have 151 votes. The next move is to sep

states, which have, all told, 203 electoral
votes.

Judge Parker is depended upon by the
Democrats to carry the Empire State for
his ticket Thomas Taggart Is expected
to carry Indiana. The Democrats hope for
Wisconsin on account of the split of the
Republicans, the two state tickets there
and the poor outlook for a compromise.
Harry New, of Indiana, is quite as good
a politician as Thomas Taggart, and
stands in a fair way to carry tht stato.
The Wisconsin Republicans are likely so
far to heal their differences as to make
the state safe for Roosevelt. This leaves
the nub of the matter In the hands of the
managers, who are laying plans to carry
New York for Roosevelt.
The battlefield of this campaign is there
fore to bo primarily in New York State,
but is something more than a side issue
In Indiana, New Jersey, Maryland, Con
necticut, West Virginia and possibly Wis
consin. CONFERS WITH LEADERS.
Roosevelt Gets Opinions From All
Parts of the Country.
WASHINGTON. July 30. President
Roosevelt had several conferences today
with political leaders. He Is obtaining
from men representing all parts of the
country their opinions regarding the po
litical situation in their localities.
Senators Cullom and Hopkins, of Illi
nois, had a long talk with the President
today. They stated later that they had
gone over very thoroughly with him the
political situation in Illinois. Both ex
pressed the opinion that Illinois would
give the President a majority of 100.000 in
the coming election. Only incidental ref
erence was made, they say, to the butch
ers' and meathandlers strike, which, up
to the present time, they asserted, had
had no political bearing.
The President Is watching developments
of the strike carefully, but he has no
present intention of Interfering In any
way.
Senator Foraker, of Ohio, had a brief
Interview regarding the approaching cam
paign. Speaker Cannon and Representative Ov
erstreet. secretary of the Republican Con--gresslonal
Committee, conferred with the
President The speaker expressed confi
dence of a Republican victory In Illinois.
Regarding the Indlnna situation, he said:
"Our opponents may think they are half
a dozen, but we are at least six, as
they will discover In due time."
TAWNEY MANAGES SPEAKERS.
Announcement Made by Chairman
Cortelyou at Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 30. Chairman Cortel
you, of the Republican National Commit
tee, spent today conferring with promi
nent party leaders from the Middle West,
and tonight announced that Representa
tive Tawney. of Minnesota, had been ap
pointed to manage the speakers' bureau
during the coming campaign. The an
nouncement of the membership of the ex
ecutive committee, which was expected to
have been made today by Chairman Cor
telyou, will not be made until some time
next week.
United States Senator Dick, of Ohio; D.
W. Mulvane, of Kansas; -J. W. Blythe, of
Iowa; Chairman Charles Crane, of the
South Dakota State Committee; Charles
G. Dawes and Congressman Boutelle were
among the men with whom Mr. Cortelyou
conferred toaay, and learned from them
the conditions In their states. One thing
which seems to be established by the In
terviews held with the lenders in the
various states is that the National Com
mittee will allow the state organizations to
decide what ought to be done in the ter
ritory under their Jurisdiction.
Chairman Cortelyou will remain at the
Chicago headquarters until the latter part
of next week.
CALLERS AT ESOPUS.
Two New Yorkers and Nevada Rep
resentative Visit Judge Parker.
ESOPUS. N. Y., July 30. Many visitors
were entertained today at the home of the
Democratic Presidential candidate. The
first arrival was George Foster Peabody,
of New York. He left at 2 P. M.t and the
same train brought J. Edward Simmons,
of New York, president of the Fourth Na
tional Bank, and John Whalen, ex-corporation
counsel in New York. Mr. Sim
mons is prominently mentioned for the
treasurership of the Democratic National
Committee, but on this subject neither he
nor Judge Parker could be Induced to talk.
Both Mr. Simmons and Mr. Whalen are
friends of Judge Parker, of long standing,
and so far as Is known the visit was pure
ly social.
Another visitor was Representative
Clarence D. Vanduser, of Nevada. Mr.
Peabodys visit was said to have been of
an important political nature.
Harvester Plants Shut Down.
CHICAGO, July 30. The three plants
of the International Harvester Com

an indefinite period, and 15,00w work
men will be thrown out of employment
The company's officials declare the
shutdown has been ordered that an in
ventory of all the stock of the com
pany may be taken, and they say the
plants will bo started up again in a
few weeks.
"Every dollar I have was made honestly," he
assured us. Thus being assured, that he didn't
have enough of them for us to bother about we

GLOSE IN ON CITY
Japanese Capture Port Arthur
Fortresses.
GOLDEN HILL HOLDS OUT
Chinese Report to Chefoo Says That
Both Sides Suffered Tremendous
Losses in Operations Lasting
Over Several Days.
CHEFOO, July 31- (2 P. M.) A Japanese
merchant has received word from a Chi
nese, whom he trusts, to the effect that
the Japanese have captured every posi
tion surrounding the besieged fortress of
Port Arthur, with the exception of Golden
Hill. The Chinese stated that both sides
suffered tremendous losses in the opera
tions necessary to bring about this state
of affairs.
The members of the Russian Intelligence
Bureau here, while denying the report
that Port Arthur has been captured, are
Inclined to believe the reports true, to the
extent that the Japanese have made great
progress In their operations about the be
sieged fortress. The party of Russian
refugees expected, here today have not as
yet arrived.
BATTLE FOR THREE DAYS.
Determined Assaults Made on Forts
at Port Arthur.
CHEFOO, July 30 (1 P. M.). A junk
which left Port Arthur on Thursday last
at midnight reports terrific fighting on
land and sea, which had then been going
on for three days.
The highest Japanese authority here
says that the army and naval command
ers of the besieging forces had planned
to begin their final assault Tuesday last
and expected to effect the capture by July
29, but that no official reports were ex
pected from the army or from Admiral
Togo until the present attack results in
success or failure.
Japanese correspondents here are now
sending junks to the Miao Tao Islands,
ready to enter the harbor at Port Arthur
Immediately after the fall of the fortress.
The Associated Press correspondent
learns from the same reliable source that
the action of the Vladivostok squadron
hastened tho present action upon Port Ar
thur, the Japanese authorities realizing
that If these vessels were allowed to pro
ceed unhampered any longer It meant the
division of Admiral Togo's fleet, with the
outcomlng of the Russian ships now
cooped up by him at Port Arthur.
The most Intense interest in the Port
Arthur situation is taken not only here,
but in Shanghai and Tientsin. Many
commercial concerns in these places are
continually wiring here for news.
In this city many wagers are being made
at odds of 20 to 1, in pounds sterling, that
Port Arthur will not fall within the next
ton months, German residents offering
and Englishmen accepting the bets.
ENEMY IS TEN MILES OFF.
Russians Feel Surcof Safety of Port
Arthur.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 31 (3:40 A. M.)
In view of the rumors of the storming
and fall of Port Arthur, the general staff
authorizes the Associated Press to declare
positively that not a single position form
ing a part of the land defenses of Port
Arthur has yet fallen into the enemy's
hands, and that the besiegers are nowhere
nearer than eight or ten miles to the
fortress.
The general staff also declares that tho
bombardments reported July 26, 27 and 23
were nothing more than preliminaries to
an attempt to secure possession of one of
the outer positions, probably Lunvantan,
to the east If the Japanese shall succeed
In taking these positions, they will have to
bring up siege guns under a flanking fire
from the adjoining positions and from
cruisers sent out for this purpose.
If this task proves possible, then only
will the Japanese be able to bombard the
fortress itself and prepare for the final as
sault and It Is easy to see what a long,
dangerous and difficult operation lies be
fore them.
Smiled at Port Arthur Rumor.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 30 (7:3S P. M.)
The reports of the storming of Port Ar
thur were received here with smiles of In
credulity. The War Office contradicted
the rumored fall of the fortress- There Is
no change of Importance In the situation
in Manchuria, except that the Japanese
have made a slight advance toward Hal
cheng, and that they are developing a
flank movement from Slmoucheng, 15
miles from Halcheng. They continue ac
tive in Slkseyan.
Officers Lost in Attack.
TOKIO. July 30 (S P. M.). The General
Staff announced this evening that five
Japanese officers had beon killed and 41
wounded in the fighting which has been
going on around Port Arthur since last
Tuesday. The losses In men are not
glyen. This Is the first official announce
ment of its kind since the beginning of
the siege of the fortress, and it Indicates
that there has been serious fighting.
LINED UP FOR THE FRAY.
Opposing Forces Are Within Easy
Reach of Each Other.
KUCHTTAZU. Manchuria, (About 30
miles southeast of Llao Yang.) July 28.
(Delayed In transmission.) As a great bat
tle appears imminent a survey of the posi
tions of the two armies will be Interesting.
The main bodies of the Russians and Jap
anese are very near each other. They now
form. In the north, a more powerful array
than at any previous time. Virtually,
however, the same conditions prevail
north of Hal Cheng as previously report
ed. The Russians are holding Tien Shult
san Chlutsanyan Plen and Kuanchia
passes. Tho latter Is three miles east of
here.
In view of the fact that serious fighting
Is anticipated In the near future, the Chi
nese have begun to disappear from be
tween the lines and to break up their
houses, though heretofore they have not
vacated their property except In the im
mediate firing zone between the pickets.
A mile and a half east of Kuanchia pass
the Associated Press correspondent acci
dentally crossed the zone of the Japanese
fire and was fully 20 minutes crossing
the bed of the Shi River under fire, evi
dently from the Yuhuang Kao Temple,
on the east side of the river, and In
plain view of the Russian pickets. The
Japanese line extends thence south and
is apparently of great strength, with
trenches and breastworks. It approaches
within a mile of Lien Pasa and continues
along the Shi River to Slpen Pass and
thence to Hoi Yan, facing the Tien
Tshuitsan and Oangtsu Pass positions.
The correspondent -visited the entiro
eastern line. It is an Ideal region for
military operations. Immense columns of
troops are traversing the numerous val
leys to reconnolter the passes and are
finding mountain artillery on the hillside.
The Japanese officers are In plain view,
pacing up and down tho trenches as
though encouraging their men. The Rus
sians, from equally fine positions, are

tense interest inviting an attack and
maneuvering.
The first ascent of Russian military
balloons occurred yesterday evening and
against the flaming sunset the balloon
wa3 visible to the entire Japanese army
around Mo Tien Pass. The balloon
caused much amazement among tho Chi
nese. The Japanese continue to march across
the upper part of the Tai Tse River,
toward Mukden, by way of Penshlu, pro
tecting their left flank from Kuanchia
Pass.
The 'Russians aro making a demonstra
tion In large force before Pien Pass and
also in front of Kuanchia Pass.
A detachment of Cossacks which at
tempted to reconnoiter the Yuhuang Kao
Temple today was driven back from two
positions, both within hailing distance.
The Japanese, as this dispatch is being
filed, can plainly be seen taking up posi
tions for the conflict They are appar
ently determined to fight, and It Is ru
mored that the Russian commander has
ordered preparations to be made for four
to five thousand wounded.
TIenchuItsan, Chlutslayan. Pien and
Kuanchia pasc3 are on the Feng Wang
Cheng-LIao Yang road and are within a
short distance of each other, about 35
miles southeast of Llao Yang. The Shi
River is a branch of the Taltse and has
Its origin In the vicinity of these passes.
The Taltse River Is a very large stream
flowing just north of Llao Yang In a
course almost due west Penslhu is on the

DIFFICULTIES WITH WIRES.
The Long Circuit Through Siberia Is
Affected by Fire and Storm.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 30. M. Dur
novo, the Minister of Telegraphs, who Is
In temporary charge of the Department of
the Interior, will place the Department of
Posts and Telegraph In the normal as
well as virtual control of Under Secretary
Sevastianoff, under whose administration
the postal and telegraph systems of the
Empire have made great strides.
The greatest difficulties are due to the
operation of 10,000 miles of overhead wires
In the Far East Thunder storms are of
daily occurrence throughout this vast
stretch of wires tfnd the forest regions are
subject in Summertime to continual fires.
These facts are sufficient to explain why
the dispatches from the front are some
times delayed a couple of days.
The Telegraph Department makes a
practice of holding up ordinary messages
at Harbin and forwarding them by post,
but In the meantime they are blocking
the Siberian wires. It must also be noted
that official dispatches in cipher are not
abreviated and have to be repeated, and
these take precedence over all other tele
grams. REMOVING THE MINES.
Japanese Search for Deathtraps at
Nlu Chwang.
NIU CHWANG. July 30. The Japanese

WHELMED BY WATEI
Arizona Canyon Is Swept for
Twelve Miles.
IMMENSE DAMAGE RESULTS
Santa Fe Railroad Track and Prop
erty Is Washed Away All Here
tofore Known High-Water
Marks Surpassed
KINGMAN, Ariz., July 30. Heavy rains
In the mountains east of Truxton last
night sent down a wall of water 30 feet
high through the canyon, washing out the
Santa Fe Railroad track, embankments,
bridges, telegraph poles and everything
moveable for a distance of 12 miles. Great
steel bridges were taken from their
foundations and piled up against the walls
of the canyon. Massive Btone abuttments
were crumbled and carried away.
At Crozler everything movable, includ
ing the station signal, telegraph poles and
boxcars were piled up on the big steel
bridge to the west of the station.
At Hackberry the pumphouse and ma
chinery was destroyed and swept into the
valley miles away. The big well was
filled to the brim with debris. Houses high
above all heretofore known high-water
marks were flooded and much damage
done.
Hundreds of men have been hurried to
the washout -by the Santa Fe, but It will
be some time before the water subsides
sufficiently to allow the workmen to re
construct the roadbed and bridges.
Many miles of telegraph lines are down,
and it will take some time for repairs.
A report reaches Kingman of a cloud
burst at Cedar, a mining camp SO miles
south of here, which carried away part
of a 20-stamp mill, gasoline pump engine,
blacksmith shop and other property. Tho
shaft of the Arnold mine was filled with
debris. The damage amounts to thou
sands of dollars.

Nev., at 5 o'clock this evening. It was
due to a cloudburst. On account of Inter

learned whether any lives were lost in the
flood, though it is known that a school
house, three or four residences and a
number of barns and smaller buildings
have been swept away. The people of
Sodaville are now preparing to flee to
higher ground, having been warned that
the immense body of water is headed
toward that town.
The wires at this time (midnight) are
down and it is hard to determine- whether
the flood has struck Sodaville or to ob
tain additional facts regarding the flood.
It is known that the roadbed of the Car
son and Colorado Company is flooded for
a distance of half a mile, the same condi
tions prevailing at Now Boston and
Rhodes, situated within about seven miles
of Sodaville.

was worse than that, loss of sleep at

consult a physician, when one of my
customers advised me to try Peruna,
as it had made her well and strong. I
began to take it, and In a few days
began to feel stronger, and from the
first dose I slept at night, without
awakening. I took only two bottles,
now I am well, but I am never with

wishes to call on me I will gladly ad

so much benefit from It, and want all

MTJBDEEED P0E MONEY SACK.
Paymaster Fatally Wounded and the
Driver Slain by Robber.
PORTAGE, Pa., July 30. Charles Hays,
a driver employed by the Puritan Coal
Company, was shot and killed today and
Patrick Campbell, the company's paymas
ter, was fatally wounded by three men,
who escaped after taking a satchel con
taining 530OO with which it was intended to
pay the coal company's employes at Puri
tan. The two men were passing In a buggy,
when the robbers, armed with shotguns,
emerged from the woods near the road
and fired at them. Armed posses are seek
ing the robbers and threaten to lynch
them.
Kimball said he thought their assailants
were Italians. They began to use their
shotguns before he and Hays, who were
both armed, could get out their revolvers.
Kimball was also general superintendent
of the Puritan mills.
It Is reported that two suspects have
been arrested at Beaverdale.
An Englishman, whose name Is not
known, was caught while running from a
house in Portage this afternoon. He had
been seen early in the day near where
the holdup occurred, but escaped.
Late this afternoou, thrcj llIians were
arrested and" came from the direction of
Portage. The men denied their guilt, and
no money or weapons were found on
them.
The Commission of Cambria County
have issued a notice offering a reward
of $1000 for the arrest and conviction of
the guilty persons. It is estimated that
1000 armed men are scouring the country
within a radius of 10 miles of Portage.
It developed there torflght that the men
in jail are not the men who did the
Portage hold-up. and that the men wanted
are secreted somewhere in Lovett County,
six miles from the scene of the tragedy,
where Sheriff Lenhart and a half hun
dred officers and twice that many armed
citizens are now searching every nook
and corner.
From every quarter for over a radius
of 10 miles an army of farmers, miners
and business men and officers are on
guard. The men cannot get through the
lines. The great popularity of Mr. Camp
bell and the dastardly crime have set the
whole mountain afire.
At 12:30 o'clock watchers on the Franks
town road saw two men, one of them
with a satchel, cross and disappear in
the bushes near the graveyard there. The
men on guard called on the two men to
stop. They refused and 50 shots were
exchanged. The men were not captured
and disappeared.
Sheriff Lenhart returned at midnight
and Is signing more men to join the
pursuers. The chase will be continued
all night. The orders are to shoot any
person who refuses to halt. Armed men
are rushing In and out of the town every
minute. Revolvers and ammunition are
being handed out to every available man.
The feeling against the foreigners is
growing bitter.
