In the afternoon the Russians vessels reached a point between Sensikau and I.nnwantang, where they were attacked by a Japanese flotilla of torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers.

St. Petersburg, July 12—-The war m inistry today received a dispatch from General Kuropatkin's chief of ; staff reporting a couple of unimportant affairs between frontier guards and small parties of Chinese bandits near Port Arthur, and adding that the troops forming the garrison are in ex­ cellent spirits. Skirmishes occur daily. The Russians captured 50 Japanese scouts on July 1 and the »’hief of police recently captured 240 head of cattle. There is an abundance I of ammunition at Port Arthur.

Convention Hall, St. Louie, July 9. — Parker has been nominated for presi­ dent. On the completion of ‘ he first ballot he received a total of 658 votes. Before the vote was annouened Idaho changed her six votes, giving him 664 votes. West Virginia added three votes, giving him the 667 votes or two- thirds necessary. Washington changed from Hearst to Parker. This was followed by a motion from Champ Clark to make the nomination of Parker nnanimouB. A monstrous American flag was unfurled from the dome of tbe building. The hand struck up "T he Star Spangled Banner.” Great uncertainty still exists con­ cerning the vice presidential nomina­ tion. The same candidates who have heretofore been mentioned are still mentioned, and some are being pushed with a great ileal of earnestness. No one man has yet been singled out by the leaders and large delegations to be supported for the second place. There seems to be a desire to select a man from Illinois, Indian or Ohio if possi­ ble. Continued efforts have been made to secure the consent of Marshall Field, of Chicago, to allow the ubb of his name, hut he has given an absolute refusal. The Western men have secured quite a large number of delegations to sup­ port ex-Senator George Turner, of Washington. H .V FROM FLOOD.

Jspanese Oener.l Is Advancing Army With Little Loss. HI. Tokio, July 11.— Late telegrams from General K uroki’s headquarters at the front show that the rains have not stopped the working out of the Japan­ ese plans, either in the interior of Manchuria or at Port Arthur The Haul assault on the fortress is thought to he very near, although there is much work to be done in the way of constructing siege batteries. The Rus­ sians have abandoned the outer po­ sitions, after a great deal of fighting, and have strengthened their main de­ fenses. Japanese correspondents allowed to send dispatches reveal the skiM with which the generals maneuvered their columns so as to capture the mountain passes between the Y ula and the Liao valleys without heavy loss and with­ out riekaing the least temporary con­ fusion in their extended line of batt-e. General Oku’ s forces pressed north­ ward and west nntil they cleared the lofty ridge east of Kaiping. This de­ prived Kuropatkin’ 8 men in the de­ files of their mountain shields, and compelled the withdrawal of their sup­ ports to cheek Oku’s army. There­ upon the armies of Feng Wang Cheng and Takushan, availing themselves of such flanking opportunities as local conditions allowed, forced the enemy ont of their strongholds down upon the plain of Liao Yang.
