says n Is rumoredi that the Russians have

that they are treating Persian territory as

says that the British frontier Commission

The dispatch has caused profound

The advance Of the Russians has made
the Atghans anxious, but they are deter

seiz1 their territory. They are puzzled at
these war.ike preparations Of the Rus

! EAST SAGINAW, Miou, July 15.-There
is practically no change in the situation
this morning, which has resolved itself
simply to question Of endurance, The
mill owners who were Weakened at first
owing to slark Of the lpcal authorities
properly protecting person and property,
have been braced up by the presence Of
the Pinkerton men and State troops, and
the resolutions adopted at the meeting Of
the mill owners. at Bay City yesterday
fully covers the situation there. They
assgrt that their employees were CO.
creed against their will that their
property was invaded hy o law
iess mob, and their business interrupted
by force and intimidation, and hence
they will submit 10 no arbitration that
does not come from the men In their own
individual employ. The violent aud Ill.
considered action Of the leaders Of the
strikes has had much to do in raising q
barrier sgainst q peaceful adjustment Of
the trouble by arbitration. The arrest Of
Representative Barry and the suppression
Of open a;s gatherings has also In . meas
ure weakened the stHiker1, and 10 this
may be added the influence exerted by q
large body Of men'who were opposed to
the strike and compelled TO leave their
work by brute force. The mills oi Whit.

that moderation and submission 10 the
