PcHtsTblllty of Makaroffs Capture. London, April 13. In naval circles r pointed out that there Is consld Mo possibility that tho reported are of Admiral Makaroff at Port iir is true. cent reports have stated that roff has been making sorties from Arthur in small boats doing , duty. There Is a possibility itho Jap3 have allowed the Rus- admiral to become over-confident and have intercepted him. Admiral Makaroff being tho hero of the hour at Port Arthur, his capture would be a sad blow to Russia. Tokio, April 13. An official account of a skirmish between two small bod ies of Japanese and Russians on the banks of tho Yalu, which nrrived to day, states that a Jap lieutennnt and flvo marines were sent In a Corean fishing boat to reconnoiter about the mouth of the river. They sighted sev en Russian cavalrymen on the Chi nese bank, and attacked them. The Russians, though reinforced, were finally driven back, losing one killed and two wounded. No loases were suffered by tho Japs. This report ap parently concerns the same fight men tioned In Kuropatkln's statement. Che Foo, April 13. A private dis patch from Port Arthur states that tho Japanese attacked Port Arthur this morning. Tho full Russian fleet, tinder com mand of Admiral Makaroff, went out to meet tho Japs, and, with the aid of the forts drovo off the attackers. Jap Scouts Annihilated. St. Petersburg, April 13.

'? -ir.ix ,d i BY ACCLAMATION The Old Warhorse of Douglas County Goes in Again Harris Forces Subside at the Last and He Is WithdrawnUtmost Harmony Prevails and Binger Hermann Renominated by Acclamation on the First Ballot The Harris forces apparently had given up the fight for his nomination at 10 o'clock last night, and the hotel loblea and corridors presented a de serted appearanco, more funeral than festive, so far as tho opposition to Hermann was concerned. If they were in evidence the plotting was away back In the dim recesses of their private apartments, and tho Lane county snickersnee was hidden far up undor the coat tails of the band of university students, who had adopted practical politics for a livelihood. The Hermann Headquarters. Were throbbing with interest. Con ferences lasted until after midnight, but were all "harmonious, and the in dividual participants wore that pecu liar smllo of triumph which beams from the faces of a happy family, when they are all confident that thero Is to be a happy delivery and oven the sex of tho offspring seems to be pretty well determined. It was soon understood that in consideration of delivering a solid delegation, and for general all-around usefulness, thq statesman from Clackamas, some times referred to as that humble man, Geo. C. Brownell, would do tho presiding act, and coll the convention to order, "according to program." The nominating speech for Congressman Hermann was imposed on Senator Marstors, of Douglas county, and Wal ter LfcTooza was slated oy general consent for congressional chairman, a graceful trlbuto to Marlon county on tho part of the Herman managers, as tho avowed battlefield of the dis trict It was announced that A. C. Woodcock, law partner of L. T. Har ris at Eugene, would present that gentleman's name In tho convention. The Arrangements. For tho convention were all modo by B. P. McCornack, congressional com mitteeman for this county. Tho ush ers seated tho delegations on a plan previously arranged, and submitted to each delegation, with placards up designating their locality. Somo of tho smaller counties wero givoh thq boxes, and President Hal, D. Fatton, of tho Salem Young Men's Republi can Club, handled the ushers, and seated the delegates. Ho was assisted by Chas. E. Murphy, J. O. Graham, Ellis Richardson, Mac Hofer, Paul Wallace and L, R. Stlnson, of tho club. Tho stago was- decorated with flags, and tho customary plcturo of President Roosevelt, who has boon mentioned in somo states as a possi ble candidacy for tho presidency. The delegations at tho hotel grow very Im patient to have tho affair pulled off, and It would havo been all ovor with yesterday If they could havo got nt It. But It was better to havo tho usual preliminaries gone through with, and tho rough edges wear off, and havo the minority reconciled to their fato. Besides, thero had to bo a little time to attend to bucIi little mattora as In ovltably come to tho front under tho broad designation of practical poli tics. Thore was nover n happier ag gregation of Republican "Uxors" than tho assembled Hermann hosts, when they began to string along llcsuroly from tho lobbies toward tho Grand Opera Houso, whero tho convention was booked to assemblo nt 11 o'clock. It was a summer sky overhead, and nil tho world seemed radiant nnd hap py, with promise of evorlastlng ,sun shlno for tho friends of Binger. Tho convention was called to or der at 11 o'clock by Secretary yinn of tho congressional commlttoe, la tho absence of Chairman' Storrls, who Is out of tho state. Promptly Senator Marsters, tho recognised Hormann manngor, nominated Hon. George C. Brownell as temporary chairman. Tho Clackamas statesman took tho stand and in a few woll chosen wordB thanked the convention for tho honor. Ho then proceeded ac cording to program. Senator Percy Kelly, of Linn, nomi nated Galo S.
