WASHINGTON, July 2.--l 1t was rumored to-
night that Benjamin Ide Wheeler. presi-
dent Of the University of California, had
received an offer Of diplomatic post from
President Roosevelt, and had accepted
1t. Coupled with the rumor was the sug-
gestion that Gen. Horace Porter would
resign his Office az Ambassador to France.
Nothing to confirm the rumor about
President Wheeler could be obtained
He was here recently, and man who talked
with him then. and whose office would
entitle him to know whether the President
had made any such offer, declared tonight
that he had never heardspresident Wheeler's
name mentioned In connection with a for
eign mission, and President Wheeler had
certainly not spoken of it to him. This
same man said that Gen. Porter was very

no ROCKETELLERS MEN SHOOT 2
Bitter Fight Over the Right 10 Fish on
HIS lH2, 900 Adirondack Acres.

OoDENsBuRG, ~ Y, July Men in
the upper lake region of the Adirondacks
arc organizing to fight William Rookie
fellers methods of protecting his private
park of 1852 600 acres from trespass
Last fall Oliver La Mora was arrested
by representatives of Mr.. Rockefeller for
trespnssing on the park, where La Mora
was found fishing The case came before
Judge ID. Beman, in the county court at
Malone, and La Mora was discharged, the
Court holding that there was no cause Of
action, as the streams of the Adirondacks
had been stocked with fish at the expense
Of the State for the use Of the public. This
decision was reversed yesterday by the
Appellate Division, which held that In Mora
was a trespasser
la Mora says that since the trial
he has been prosecuted by Mr. Rockefeller's
repre- sentatives. The other day a man
named Barcombe, while fishing on the land
owned 10y Mr.. Rockefeller, was fired upon
and his fish pole was broken. He says that
men armed with rifles are kept on guard
and ordered to shoot trespassers.
Two of the guards were arrested and
brought to Malone for shooting at Bar
combe. They are out on bail.
The upper lake citizens have organized
a club to be known as the Adirondack Game
and Fish Protective Association, and say
they will fight Mr. Rockefeller and his
methods and henchmen.
PAUL SMITHS. N. Y. July a.
Game protectors in the Adirondacks
generally go armed and Mr.. Rockefeller's
men are no exception. They carry re-
volvers.
Telephone communication tonight with
Bay Pond, where Mr., Rockefeilers camp is,
seems to show that there have not been
any shots fred by the gamekeepers.
1t is common talk here that some Of the
fires which occurred this spring and burned
over thousands of acres on Mr.. Rookie
feller's park were of suspicious origin.

Special caole Despatch to TIE SUN.

Special Gable Despatch to TIE SUN
LONDON, July I'm the House OF Com
mons this afternoon Mr. Arnold Forster,
Secretary to the Admiralty, announced
that the Admiralty had decided that it
would not renew the subsidies paid to mer-
chant cruisers when the present contracts
expire.
The Admiralty has issued notice that 1t
will determine the matter of contracts on
April 4, 1904. 1t will require twelve months
notice to abrogate the contracts.
The Admiralty's decision is generally
approved. 1t is the view of large sec
ton Of the Members of Parliament that
the decision is the wisest step taken by the
Government at the present session.
They regard ii as initially blow directed
at the Morgan combination, but it will
have reflex action all round.
Mr.. Arnold Forster, when making the
statement, did not refer specially to the
shipsin the combination. The Admiralty's
decision is in accordance with the recon-
mendation Of Parliamentary committee
which reported n while ago, and concerns
only agreements as to existing subsidies,
which affect eighteen ships belonging to
the Cunard, White Star, Pennsular and ORR =
entail, Orient, Canadian Pacific Railroa d,
Royal Mail and Pacific lines.
Mr.. Arnold-Fo Forster added that it was not
the intention entirely to abandon the idea
OF substituting any vessels. There were
certain things which could not be obtained
commercially and could be gained only
by subsidies
n " oh
tinue subventions for speed and other
special qualifications which peculiarly fitted
ships for naval purposes, but every future
agreement would be made on condition
that what was subsidized was something
that could not he obtained in the ordinary
course,

SAID that never at any previous moment
has Russia been more profoundly distrusted
both by her European neighbors and the
great Republic on the other side OF the
Atlantic
And while clouds are gathering abroad
the internal condition of the country ia
such that only the sternest measures of
repression can hold in check the elements
OF discomfort engendered by the reao-
tionary measures of M. Pobodonostieff
Procurator-General OF the Hol v Synod, and
M. de Pehve, Minister of the Interior"
The Daily NeDs regards the situation
az being delicate, but says that probably
the worst that can happen is a temporary
cessation of diplomatic relations. II adds
1t is suggested that the American action
is due to pique over Russia S sinuous policy
in Manchuria. We prefer to believe that
it is inspired by genuine sentiment of
Indignation at the Kshineff horror, es-
pecia!ly among large and influential
Jewish section of the population in the
United States
That indignation has at least no sug-
gestion Of insinoerity in the President, who
has shown himself so courageous in at
lacking the beam in his own peoples eye"
The GrnYh,c says it believes that the rea I
aim of the American Jews and their friends
has been amply attained, No good pur-
pose, ii adds, can be served by pushing
their advantage to extremes
1t is certain that the proposed action
will be resented by Russia, and the Unit ed
States will be exposed to the slight of hav-

suggest ion to President Roosevelt to mind
his own business, while the irritation Of
the Car and other Russians, who are not
now hostile to the Jews, will dispose them
to measures under which the Jews in Rus
STA themselves will suffer
This is what happened thirtee en- years
ago when the petition Of the city Of London
on the same subject was sent to the late
Gar. The petition was unceremoniously
returned, and the result was that the En-
peror became more of Judeophobe than
ever and the burdens laid upon his Hebrew
subjects were not diminished, if. indeed
they were not increased.
No petition can possibly add to the knowl-
edge already conveyed TO Russia that
barbarous prosecutions Of Jews in that
country are calculated TO interfere very
seriously with the normal course Of Rus
sian international relations,
They have already helped to dest roy
the old friendly relations between the
United States and Russia, and in other
countries they have had like effect. II
this does not stay the hand of persecution,
nothing that diplomacy can do will have
a good effect
