I SIOUX FALLS, July 17.—Ex-United | States Senator Pettigrew oé this city, | who was chairman of the South Dakota | delegation to the St. Louis convention, | has caused a sensation with an inter-| view in which he virtually *“bolts” the | nomination of Judge Parker for Presi- | | dent on the Democratic ticket. “Intellectually and morally, says Pettigrew, in his interview, “Bryan | | towered far above his opponents. A | political party that could discard his leadership for the leadership of Bel-| mont and Hill and the former slave- owners of the South certainly has not exercised that judgment and con- science that forebodes success.” JACKSON, Mich., July 17.—Thomas E. Barksworth, chairman of the Dem- ocratic State Central Committee, has | announced that he has decided to take { no further action as § te chairman | and will not attend the committee| meetings preliminary to the State con- | vention | Barksworth characterized Judge Par- | ker’s telegram to the St. Louis con-| vention as an affront to the Bryan| Democrats. He expressed the | that he would stultify himself by act-| ing as State chairman when he is not | in accord with the predominating in- | fluence in the party in both State and | nation. | Barksworth says that if National | Committeepnan Campau prefers a for | mal resignation he will make it, though | he considers it unnnecessary. | —-— | CONFERENCES AT ESOPUS. | Judge Parker Said to Have “Snubbed” | Leader Murphy of Tammany. | ESOPUS, N. Y., July 17.—Judge | Parker’s second Sunday since his nom- | ination was spent quietly. He had con- | ferences with John W. Kern of Indian- | apolis, who is his guest, with Sheehan and with Maurice Minton of New York, | who attended the St. Louis conven-| | tion and is said to have come to Rose- mount on a political mission. Sheehan visited Rosemount this afternoon for a half hour and later Judge Parker visit- ed Sheehan’s home. It was pointed out to Kern that the newspapers had intimated that August Belmont was out of the race for na- tional chairman and that it might be possible that Taggart would have | charge of active work in the West and Mr. Sheehan in the East. Mr. Kern | said nothing but noddéd his head in a contemplative way. Judge Parker attended church ser- _vices at Kingston this morning, accom- panied by Mrs. Parker. The trip was made in Judge Parker's launch Niobe. During the services a small colored boy dropped ‘a coin in the collection | plate passed by the Judge and left the church as soon as the vestrymen had taken the collection to the altar, grin- ning as he went. It is said here on what appears to be good authority that Judge Parker has not invited Tammany Leader Charles F. Murphy to come to Rosemount. g e ) | QUIET DAY l'qn PRESIDENT.

It is surmised that Loomis’ | body fell into the water near the Eddy- stone lighthouse, Joseph G.

BERLIN, July 17.—The German- American Petroleum Company of Bre- men, which is the Standard Oil Com- pan German branch, has been un- dergoing regorganization, the Stand- ard Company buying up the German stock and replacing most of the Ger- man directors by Americans.

LONDON, July 18.—A dispatch from | Aden to the Daily Mail says that the | captain of the British vessel Waivara | reports that the Russian volunteer steamship St. Petersburg signaled him | to stop by firing across the bows of his vessel on July 15 in the Red Sea. The Russians examined the papers | of the Waipara and declared that they | would hold the ship as a prize. The captain protested and was taken on| board the St. Petersburg, where he | | gave the Russian officers a guarantee | that there were neither arms nor am- | munition on board the Waipara des-| tined for Japan. The vessel was de- | tained four hours and was then al- lowed to proceed. The captain confirms the report that the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s steamship Malaica was seized in the Red Sea on July 16 by the St. Peters- | burg on the ground that she carried | arms and munitions of war for the! Japanese Government. Almost without exception the news- | papers this morning in editorials or otherwise comment upon the Russian volunteer fleet steamers passing the Dardanelles and the Government is urged to take action, especially for the protection of commerce in the Red Sea and neighboring waters.

Martin, aged 59, a shipping commission mer- chant of Manhattan, and his son, Henry T. Martin Jr., aged 30. Martin is a native of Cuba and for several weeks he and his son have had fre- quent quarrels. The young man is separated < from his wife and his troubles with his father were caused, it is said,"by his desire to bring an- other woman to the house. The combat, it is alleged, started by the son throwing a large dumb-bell at his father, striking him on the arm and side. There was a general scrimmage during which some costly bric-a-brac was destroyed. The father drew a sword-cane with a long steel blade and started for the son. The young man drew a revolver and fired five shots. It is not believed that he tried to hit his father, for if he had the distance between the two was so slight that some of the shots would have taken effect instead of burying themselves in the walls. The shots aroused the vicinity and the neighbors got to the street In time to see the son running and the father following him with his sword gleaming in the air. The elder man had almost collapsed when a peliceman arrived. He had a wound over the left eye and was removed to Seney Hospital, where an examination showed that there had been no serious injuries. He notified the police that he would make no com- plaint against his son. —_———————— AMERICAN STUDENT IN PARIS COMMITS SUICIDE PARIS, July 17—An American stud- ent named Norwald Shapleigh of West Lebanon, Maine, a nephew of Ameri- can Embassador Porter, committed suicide to-day at the Hotel Dore on the Boulevard Montmartre.
