WILL BENEFIT AMERICA.


NEW YORK June 15.-Count Cassini.
the Russian ambassador TO this country. at
the Waldorf-Astoria, said. tonight. that he
would make a prediction that the United
States would reap great commercial advan-
tages from the Transsiberian Railway.
There are thousands of miles of telegraph
lines there now and the prejudice against
the innovation has almost died away. 1t
will be the same way with the railway. At
present there is fierce prejudice against
it, but let the natives once see the benefits
and they will not oppose it. The United
States will be great gamer by the building
of new roads The commerce of Russia and
eastern Siberia is very small at the present
time and it will take years to develop it.
The United States, on the other hand, is al
ready invading eastern China and Siberia
with American manufactures, and as soon
as the Transsiberian line is running. / look
to see YOU distance all comers."
Speaking of the American occupancy of
the Philippines. he said: I'VE Russians are
rather glad than otherwise, but you are not
half through with your troubles over there
yet. General Otis needs about twice as many
men as he is using now

This warehouse. which is pa feet long by
IS feet wide. has capacity of 1900 bar
rels and will be completed in about three
weeks. The American Spirits Company has
for the last year two been quietly ex-
perimenting in the direction OF finished
Bourbon goods and considerable of this
product has been placed the market.
Speaking TO this text on Change to-day a
leading authority on distillation affairs said
that the American Company is fully satis-
fed with the progress made and finds that
Illinois Bourbon goods sell well and have
found much favor in the market. With the
chances in favor of combination I'm Ken
lucky Bourbon and Pennsylvania rye

to encourage the Peoria houses to enter
on this enlarged field. The Great Western

Americans. The rebels have probably gone
TO the mountains along the lake. According
TO native stories the rebels carried one hum

natives are now fiocking into Bacoor and
1t is probable there are many soldiers In

General Otis has ordered the distribution
of rice and beef to the inhabitants.
Many people still refuse TO credit the
stories OF the assassination of Gen. Luna
by the guard at Agunaldo's headquarters.
though the reports to that effect are most
crcumstantial and from good sources.
Rumors OF assassination and disasters from
the rebel camp are. however, so frequently
printed in the local papers that they have
come TO be regarded with indifference. The
latest is that the governor of Cebu has
been killed by natives because of his friend
cial man with exceptional means of learn
ting OF the Filipino movements, claims TO
know Luna is still alive, adding If he is
dead and IL his death occurred a month
ago people would have expected a collapse
OF the revolution to follow.

the peace negotiations strengthens the i'm
pressien that their overtures were merely to
gain time and in order to lure the Ameri-
cans to show their hands. The Independ-

copy Of which has just been obtained, prints
interview with General Luna showing
the arguments he used to keep up the
spirits of his followers. He represents the
Filipino cause as prospering, because the
Americans have gained only hundredth
part of Luzon by hard fighting and says
the women and children tilling the fields
within the American lines give the pro-
pino army. He Is said TO have further re-
marked: ''More Americans will be killed by
ambuscades, surprises and disease than in
battles I detest war, but we cannot accept
peace at any price but independence. The
Americans suffered for their own independ-
ence and in their hearts they appreciate
why we are fighting.''

operated by the company in this city. was
closed tonight. primarily as the result of
the strike which began Tuesday. The clos

of some thirty doffers, fifty ring spinners
and eighteen spoilers. At meeting of the
strikers tonight National Organizer Mills
addressed them and tried every means in
his power TO get them to return to work.
The strikers. however. for the most part.
are young men and boys, and evidently do
not realize the gravity of the situation.
They are divided among themselves, some
asking for 10. others Is and others 20 per

NEGROES IMPORTED.
Black Miners to Take the Place OF
White Strikers.

White Strikers.
PITTSBURG. Kan, June 15.-The threat
OF the coal mine operators to import negroes
to take the places Of the striking union
miners made good to-day. when the
Western Coal and Mining Company which
is the corporation through which the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway Company operates its
mines. brought in LIS negroes from Tennes-
see and Alabama and unloaded them at
Fleming where stockades had been built
around the Missouri Pacific mines. The
union men were out in force 10 meet the ne
groes and endeavored. with considerable
success. to prevent them going to work.
Among the union men were many negroes
VINO had been brought up from the South
during the strike of 1898, and these were
largely instrumental in keeping many OF
the newcomers out of the stockades. The
result was that only few Of the imported
negroes. those having families and being
destitute. went into the stockades. There
was no disturbance. The agents of the four
big companies which arc fighting the union
declare that enough negroes will be import
ed TO operate their mines in Kansas, Mis-
souri,. Arkansas and Indian Territory. In
Kansas they rely upon the injunction Sc
cured in the Federal Court at L,eavenworth
yesterday TO prevent the strikers from in
terfering with their operation.

to serve sweeping injunctions on the union
miners at those towns. The injunctions
were issued from the Federal Court here
upon orders from Judge Hook. who heard
the application in chambers at Leaven-
worth. II is evident that the company ex-
poets to operate its plant in spite of union
miners by importing negro miners from the
south The injunctions are likely to arouse
the miners. They place the deputy marshals
