COUNT CASSINI GOES AWAY
LEAVES WASHINGTON THIS AFTER
NOON FOR HOME.
Has Received Secretary Hays Note
Regarding the Tariff TrOuble-Wiu
Confer With His Government.

The Russian ambassador has received
Secretary Hays note regarding the tariff
troubles, and has taken steps to commune
cate it to the imperial government. This
closes the incident for the present, and it
will probably be some weeks, or may be
months, before any further development
occurs In the meantime Count Cassini
will in person go over the entire subject
with the officials at ST. Petersburg, and
this gives hopes Of satisfactory adjust
ment, as the ambassador has lost no op-
portunity during his last three years SER
vice in Washington to harmontze differ
ences and bring about every possible meas
ure of cooperation between the two coun-
tries. He leaves Washington this after
noon, and will sail from New York on the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse tomorrow. MI
RogeStvensky, the ambassadors 8 confden-
tial diplomatic secretary, wlt accompany
him. The trip had been arranged two
months ago, and the departure would have
been made last month had it not been for
the pending negotiations on China. AS
these indicate that the troublesome indem-
nifty question may be settled by July the
ambassador Is now at liberty to leave He
will stop for ten days at Paris. and then
go on to ST. Petersburg. AT that time the
American tariff question will be discussed.
and the officials will have before them not
only the formal actions taken, but also the
full explanation of all incidental points
and Of general conditions prevailing In this
country, which the ambassador will be able
to submit. Count Cassini is quite confident
that no ill-effect can come out of the Incl
dent, and his efforts will be directed to-
ward removing that and like small irrita-
tions. Among State Department officials
1t is felt to be fortunate circumstance
that Count Cassini will be in st. Peters,
burg when the subject is taken up, as ne
is one of the foreign representatives in
Washington who has at all times mani
tested the most lively and sympathetic In
terest in American affairs, and an earnest
desire to shape all questions of policy SO
as to bring about common action between
the two governments.

Of lively interest. At the Neil the entire

There are 1,0S1 delegates to the convention.
Senator Foraker has quarters at the end
OF the corridor al the Neil, and he and his

stalwart form adorn an ante room, where
he is constantly in whispered conference

Coal Operators in Lick Fork Region
Expect More Trouble.
SHERIFF WITHDRAWS his POSSE
Refuses to Prevent Intercourse Be-
tween Strikers and Others.
THE JACKSON INJUNCTION

MATEWAN, W. Va. June 24-Quiet pre-
vailed today In the Lick Ford mine region,
where 1900 miners are on strike for the
recognition of the union, and where serious
riots occurred last week, leading to the is
suance Of an Injunction by federal Judge
Jackson forbidding the strikers from tres
passing on the mine property.
Several hundred strikers were at work
today repairing damage to the Norfolk and
Western roadbed caused by the storm.
1t is feared there will be an outbreak on
Wednesday, however. when. 1t is reported,
writs of ejectment will be served on strikers
occupying company houses.
Perhaps the most sensational development
is the announcement that Sheriff Hatfield
and posse, who reported for guard duty
at the mines, have refused to serve and re-
turned to Williamson
Deputy White said today: I'VE declined
10 take hand In the controversy because
the demand of the operators that all in
tercourse between the strikers and the nom
union men be suspended was manifestIy
unjust We agreed to preserve order, pre-
vent interference of violent nature and
protect property, but beyond this we could

1t is believed the coal operators will now
appeal for militia, but no such move has
yet been made
At secret meeting of strikers at Tracker
1t is understood Judge Jackson was vigor-
ously denounced. Conservatives were in
the majority, however, and no plan for
evadtng the injunction, which had been
posted by telegraph throughout the dis
trlct, was mapped out by the 1000 strikers.
While the Injunction has actually been
effective since Friday night, the defendants

today, when Deputy Marshal Huffard of

shouts and fmprecalons, but no violence
occurred.
1t is stated on good authority that war
rants will be issued for all participants in
recent riots by the Mingo county author
tiles. The men will be released on bond
and future eruptions will then come under

A PLAGUE SHIP IN PORT
ARRIVAL OF THE CARLISLE CITY AT
SAN DIEGO.
Six Deaths on the Voyage Across the
Pacifc-strict Quarantine is
Being Observed.

Surgeon General Wyman Of the marine
hospital service today was informed by DR..
Mckay, quarantine officer at San Diego,
Cal, of the arrival at that port of q plague
infected ship. The vessel is the British
steamer Carlisle City, which sailed from
Hong Kong May 16 and coming via Yoko-
hama and Honolulu, reached San Diego late
last Saturday.
DR.. Mckay reports that there were six
deaths on the way, five OF which were
certainly caused by plague and the sixth
Is supposed to have been. All the deaths
but one were among members Of the crew,
the exception being a Chinese steerage
passenger. The first death was that OF the
cook, who died June 8 after three days
illness. There is some doubt as to plague
IA, being that of fireman, and his was
well-developed case of bubonic plague. The
last death occurred on the day before the
vessel reached San Diego. DR.. Mckay re-
ports that all on board are In good health.
Nevertheless the vessel is being thoroughly
disinfected and kept well away from the
wharf so as to prevent the escape of rats,
as well as of persons. The dead bodies
were all buried at sea, and the baggage
Of the deceased burned. DR.. Mckay says
that dead rats were found in the ship be-
fore the sickness made it's appearance.
The crew Of the Carlisle City consisted
of eight European and forty-four China
men, The vessel carried one European
cabin passenger and twelve Chinese steer
age passengers.

POSITION SEEKING INCUMBENTs.
Surprising Lack of Applicants for
Laboratory Assistants

The civil service commission states that
no applications have been received for the
examination to be held on July for the
position OF laboratory assistant in physics
at the national bureau of standards, al
though public announcement was made OF
this examination about three weeks ago.
There are two vacancies to be filled as
result Of this examination, one paying
1920 and the other 81 400 a year. This eX-
animation should not be confused with that
held on Saturday for the position Of secre-
tary of the bureau of standards. The COM
miSsioners expressed surprise that no ap-
plications have been received for this eX-
animation, as the positions are thought to
be very desirable for the reason that they
would give scientists in this line an excel
lent opportunity for pursuing their investi-
cations and research. and if the persons
appointed to these two positions develop
sufficient capacity there is prospect of pro-
motion to higher salaried positions in the
bureau. Men are wanted who have had q
liberal college training and who have also
pursued some original Investigations in
