After it had been generally conceded that Justus S. Stearns, of Ludington, would be nominated for governor by the Democratic state convention, following Stearns statement thathe had bolted the Republican party and would support the Democratic ticket, both national and state, the convention nominated for governor on the first ballot Woodbridge N. Ferris,, of Big llapids. Stearns was three times a prominent candidate for the Republican nomination for governor. The vote was: Ferris, 412; Stearns, 320. Ever since the last Republican state convention refused to adopt primary reform resolutions declaring for the direct nomination of candidates, on which issue Stearns made his cam paign for the Republican nomination, Stearns name had been suggested as a possibility for the Democratic nomination upon a primary -reform platform. National Committeeman Campau strongly opposed Steafns nomination from the first, contending that a Democrat should be placed at theHead of the ticket. For three hours after th nominating speecnes naa Deen made the. excitement lu the convention was- Intense. The chairman was at times unable to maintain order amid the frenzied shouts and cries of the Stearns and anti-Steams men. The fight was practically the old-time stalwarts of the party, the supporters of Chairman Campau, against the younger element headed by the Wayne county leaders and ijeveral prominent Kent connty Democrats. V The ticket was completed as follows: Lieutenant governor, Hiram B. Hudson, Mancelona; secretary of state. James T. Balcb. Kalamazoo; treas urer, Edwin It. Smith. Clinton coun ty; auditor, George A. Curry," Iron wood; superintendent of public in traction. John E. ealley, Plymouth; land commissioner, Henry McCarty, Newaygo; member of board of educa tion, H.

Gaffney, Missaukee county; judges of the supreme court, Allen C. Adslt, Grand Itapids; Cl'nton Roberts, Flint, and Thomas A. Boyle, AnD( Arbor. The platform adopted indorses the platform and candidates of the nation al convention recently held at St. Lonis. It favors the nomination of all candidates for office by direkt vote of the people; favors- the enaction of United States senators bj populär rote, and the adoption of legislation to tion of freight and passengeis on elec tric and steam railroads; also to give city and township authorities power to fix maximum charges for street car service, gas, electric lights qnd other public utilities. ittIv DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE - . r l CT&alrman" Ta;jart Names Ehe' ban for Chairman Gorman to AdvUse.

Tbe Democratic state convention was in session two hours in the afternoon and almost three hours at night without reaching' the regular order ot business, which was left over until today. Awaiting the report on the platform the time was devoted to oratory. While the committee on resolutions was discussing the expediency of inserting the "white supremacy' plank, oratory flowed in the convention in favor of a distinctly "white man's party." Hon. Henry G. Davis, Democratic Vice presidential candidate, is. present and active in advice and counsel. He attended the night session and made a short speech, and was given an ovation. In the afternoon, when mention was first made in the chairman's keynote speech of Henry G. Davis as "the young grand old man of 'West Virginia the convention became wild. Flags were unfurled, hats and handkerchiefs waved and the yelling was not hushed until the band struck up Dixie and exhausted its melody in the rivalry of noise.

'The Russian main forces continue their retirement northward, but the cavalry has checked the Japanese threatening flank movement." St Petersburg, Aug. 5.

Twenty-one sur vivors of the British steamer Hipsang, which was sunk by a Russian torpedo boat in Pigeon bay on July 1C, have arrived here on board the German steamer Sulberg. Among the survivors are three Europeans. They state that Wolf hill fort was taken by the Jap anese array before Tort Arthur on July zs. w - Great Expectations at Cokio. Tokio, Aug. 5. The Japanese are hourly awaiting tidings of a victory at Tort Arthur with more interest and eagerness than heretofore displayed during the war. From a political, fctrategetical and' sentimental standpoint the position of the Russian fortress and naval .base is considered of paramount -importance by the Japanese. It Is known that the Japanese noose about th besieged cit yis grad ually, tightenirg. The Japanese gnus are pouring fire into the diminishing circle. ' Critical Hour Is Approaching. It is felt here that the critical hour Is fast appi-oaebing. But the public here is ignorant of the hour when the final assault will be made, and also of the details of the work already done around Port Arthur.' It Is believed that the fire from the Japanese batteries will compel the Russ'an fleet to leave the harbor and accept battle from Admiral Toex. There will be no charges of great masses of infantry until the artillery has finished the task of silencing the Russian guns. PROGRESS AT PORT ARTHUR Russian Main Force Is Now Inside the Permanent Forts. Chefoo, Aug. 5, 8 AM. S.A. Serebrinik, who was a passenger on the British steamer Hipsang, which was sunk by a Russian torpedo boat In Pigeon bay, and who was among the refugees who arrived here yesterday on the German steamer Sulberg, was interviewed today. According to his version the fighting before Port Arthur from July 2G to 28 Inclusive was directed against the last of the outer defenses namely, Wolfs, Green and Christ hills, situated north and east of the city. The Japanese captured Wolfs and Green hills, but failed to take Christ hill, which was the only outpost held by the Russians when Serebrinik left Port Arthur. A Port Arthur newspaper estimated the Russian loss at 200 killed and 800 wounded, the Japanese loss at 17,000 killed and wounded. The Japanese attacking force was estimated at 180,000. On the night of July 28 a truce was declared for the purpose of burying the dead, which 6trewed the hills. The main force of the Russian army defending' Port -Arthur is now inside the numerous permanent forts which constitute th fortress. They have 2,000 guns sweepingjthe plain over which the Japanese must cross. An assault is expected Aug. 15. The Japanese are now mounting heavy guns on the positions captured July 28. Serebrinik is a Russian, and held contracts to supply artillery, but he was suspected of being a Epy and was confined separately. His information regarding conditions at Port Arthur was derived chiefly from a newspaper which was allowed him. Tbe accounts of the Chlneserefurgees differ from that of Serebrinik. They say that the Japanese were only two miles from the fortress when they left Taggart DJ as Gone East. - Indianapolis, Aug. 5.

CIHL DIED OF POISON

Stepmother Is Suspected and the the Circumstantial Evidence Is Strong. MOTIVE SEEMS TO BE ABSENT No Known Discord Between the Two . ltemorse Troubles Mrs. Ford State News Items. Hartford City, Ind., Aug. 4. airs. W. E. Kraus has been arrested on a charge of having poisoned her ste pdaughter Crystal Kraus, who died Tuesday of ' strychnine poisoning. Mrs. Kruus'was lodged in jail to await a preliminary hearing, which has been set for Saturday.; When Crystal Kraus died Mrs. Kraus told the physicians that the cau.e of her death was acute indigestion and heart failure. The physicians refused toissue a death cert'ücate. alleging that - the girl died from the effects of strychnine poisonJng. ' v ' : Note and Bottle Is Found. During the coroner's examination Mrs. Kraus produced a bottle containing a white powder and a note whii.h she said had been found in the girl's bed. The note is as follows: "Goodbye, papa, I cannot live without Jim.M This note was found by her sterv mother after the oed, as it Is claimed, had been carefully searched by three physicians, the coroner and the neighbors, wh.i were 'seeking some clew to the mystery of her sudden taking off. With the note was the bottle supposed to contain strychnia, but which, the coroner says, is calcium powder. The "Jim" referred to is James Cronin, Jr., who had beeu paying attentions to the dead girl, to which her father objected. Aforesaid Note Was Forged. A boy has identified Mrs. Kraus as the woman for whom hecarried a. note purporting to -be signed by, Mrs. Showalter, a neighbor," to a drug store requesting an amount of strychnine to poison mice. This note was not written by Mrs. Showalter. The handwriting in the note to the druggist and the one found in the girl's bed aro similar, the coroner asserts. W. It. Kraus, the father, is under, a physician's care; Mrs, Kraus protests her innocence. No Discord Was Apparent The coroner is waiting for the return of Prosecutor John Burns, who attended the convention at Indianapolis, before proceeding with the invest tigation. The dead girl was the only child of W. R. Kraus. Last June she became of age, taking possession of the estate of her dead mother. A few months ago her father married Miss Ray Anderman. The dead girl and the step-mother apparently lived -In harmony together. nartford City Ind., Aug. U. nortly after the board of inquiry had concluded Its work in the Crystal Krauss poisoning case Coroner Hollls announced his verdict, which accuses Mrs. It M. Krauss of having "ctused the death of her step-daughter, Crystal Krauss, by administering strychnine." The court of inquiry completed its work late at night Neither Prosecutor Burns nor Coroner Hollls would discuss the evidence further than to assert that they were quite ready for the preliminary hearing, which was set for 9 a. m. before Mayor Lucas. Testimony of the Milk Boy. Before the court of inquiry Lloyd Summerville, a milk boy, testified that Mrs. Krauss had given him 15 cents with a note and that he bought strychnine at Logan's drug store. The de fense will insist that it was Crystal, the dead gisJ, who gave the boy the money and note. The note to the druggist was signed "Mrs. Showalter." It is said to be in the same writing as the note alleged by Mrs. Krauss to have been found at the girl's side, briefly bidding farewell to her father. Mrs. Krauss Took tbe Package. The boy testified that when he returned with the strychnine and note Mrs. Krauss met him ct the door, took the package and said she vould give it to Mrs. Showalter. There are two women named Showalter living across the street from the Krauss home. Both say positively they never wrote the note and knew nothing of It Suppose Tnere Is No Strychnine ? Fort Wayne, Ind, Aug. C. Dr. Drayer, of this city, who is making an examination of the stomach Of Crystal Krauss, who is supposed to have died from the effects of strychnine poisoning, and In connection with which the dead girl's step-mother is being held in jail, says that as yet he has been unable to find actual evidence of strychnine poisoning.

The Daily Illustrated Mirror says that two Russian cruisers have just left the Baltic sea and are chasing a steamer which left Kngland July 30 for Canada, carrying ammunition destined for Yokohama by way of the Canadian Pacific railway. Russia Slakes Concessions. " St Petersburg, Aug. G, 1:57 a. m. The Associated Press is able to announce that there will be no repetition of the' Knight Commander and Thea incidents. Russia has issued instructions to naval commanders not to sink neutral merchantmen with contraband on board in the future, except in cases of direct necessity, but in cases of emergency to send prizes into neutral ports. "Direct necessity" may be regarded as- a reservation of a right which Russia does not formally relinquish, but which. Jt is safe to say, will not again be exercised during the present war. Proof of the Czar'i Sincerity. Russia's concession.; :n this matter may be looked upon as proof of her sincere desire to avoid international complications or the unnecessary Irritation of neutrals. The authorities here feel that this course will be satisfactory to Great Britain and the other powers. With such assurances it will make the Knight Commander and the Thea cases much easier of adjustment. ' - LOSSES IN RECENT FIGHTING Cassia Says 4,000 on Each SideJapan Declines to Agree.

The Japa nese sa n I ta ry corps recovered a nd buried 700 bodies in the valleys through which the Russians fought and retreated. Prisoners and Chinese report that many of the Russian dead and wounded were removed by the Russians themselves. Washington, Aug. C. The Japanese legation has received the following cablegrams from Tokio, dated yesterday: 'According to a detailed report received from General Kuroki one of the heaviest reverses which befell the enemy during the engagement at Yushulintui, on July 31, was at Pyenling, five miles south of Yushulintzu, where our detachment turned to the flank of the retreating Russians. Our detachment consisted of three infantry regiments with four. guns, and severely fired upon the whole line of the enemy at a distance of from 200 to 1.000 meteors."
