VIOLENCE REsoRTED TO.
Serious Trouble in Connection With
Brooklyn Strikes.

New York. May l2.-Serious trou-

LAUNDRY WORKERS LOCKED OUT
Strike Situation at Omaha Further
Complicated.

Omaha, May l2.-The strike situa-
ton III Omaha was further compli-
Gated during the morning by the clos
ing of eighteen OF the largest iaun-
dries ia the city and the locking out
OF 500 laundry workers. This action
was taken by the laundrymen after an
extended conference and request
from the Laundry Workers union that
they do not attempt work for hotels,
restaurants and other places which
have been declared unfair
During a meeting of the Laundry
Workers union, which was attended
by representatives of the unions
whose members were already on
strike, a committee was sent to the
laundrymen, in session at local ho-
tel, to present the request. Without
making answer the laundrymen de-
cided to close down their plants, thus
locking out the men, who. they feared,
would declare strike.
President Kimball of the Tri-City
Laundrymen's club says the union
does not represent majority of the
laundry workers. He said there was
sufficient nonunion employees left to
run the laundries. but he feared for
the safety of the employees, and that
therefore, the laundrymen had de
cided to close indefinitely. The shut
down will be general.

FRENCH FEEL RELIEVED.

Paris, May l2.-The French minis
Ter at Peking reports that Minister
Conger, following Instructions. has no
titled the Chinese government Of the
assurances regarding Manchuria which
Russia has given the United States.
directly through American Ambassa-
dor Mccormick and also through Am
bassador Cassini, and says the Rus
sian charge d'ahaires at Peking has
given the Chinese officials similar as
surances. The French minister adds
that the Chinese Off ticials are not grave
ly concerned by Russia's alleged de-
signs on Manchuria, being fully salts
fled with the foregoing assurances
The feeling here, which is strongly
sympathetic with Russia, has been
greatly relieved by the official advices
from Washington, summing up the re-
suits of the conferences between Sec
retaly Hay, Ambassador Cassini and
the Japanese minister particularly
the contradiction of the report that
Mr.. Hay had telegraphed to President
Roosevelt relative to the question of
joint action on the part of Great Brit
ain, Japan and the United States.
which report aroused serious appre-
hension here of possible international
entanglements

Statement Before the House of Commons
Regarding the Manchurian Matter Re-
garding Communications.

London, May l2.-The under foreign
secretary, Lord C!anborne, announced
IN the house Of commons during the
day that the British consul at New
'hWaug reported hat there had been
no reoccupation OF Newchwang by the
Russians. Friendly communications
on the subject, Lord Cranborne add
ed, had been addressed to the Rus
sian government during the last few
days by the United States and Great
Britain independently, and the Rus
sian government. in reply, had init
mated that it would adhere to its en-
gagements to evacuate Manchuria.
although the evacuation was tenn
pCrarily delayed Russia had also ex-
planned that she had no intention of
adopting any measure tending to eX-
clude foreign consuls or obstruct for
e!9n commerce or the use of the ports.
Under these circumstances the Brit
lSh government saw no sufficient rea-
sen for securing concerted action be-
tween the United States, Japan and
Great Britain with the object as sug-
gested by his questioner, Joseph Wal
ton O.iberaD. of arriving at def
nlte agreement with Russia for the
prompt fuliillment of her assurances.

CONQUERED AFTER HARD FIGHT.
American Liner Fresland Ablaze in
Md-Ocean.

Philadelphia, May l2.-The Ameri-
can line steamer Friesland. which
came into port Sunday from Liverpool
with 144 cabin and 63S steerage pas
sengers. was in grave danger of de-
struction by fire during the voyage.
From one of the passengers it was
learned that on the fourth day out
Captain Apfeld was at breakfast with
the passengers when news that the
ship was aiire was taken to him by
the second officer EXcusing himself,
so as not to alarm the passengers, the
captain mounted to the upper deck,
where smoke was pouring from the
hatch in dense volumes.
With an order TO have the pumps
manned Captain Apfeld soon had men
engaged in h oisting out bales of cot
ton and barrels of rosn, parrafine
and wax. Captain Apfeld. with the
cry, Come on men; there's work to
be done" seized a rope and swung
himself into the hold. although sew
eral had been nearly suifocated on the
first attempt
In the course of an hours time the
fire had been conquered. Near the
place where the fire originated were
barrels of oil Had they ignited moth
ing could have saved the ship. IL
their fight Captain Apfeld's and the
mems faces, arms and limbs were
blistered.

POSTPONED FIFTEEN DAYS.
Civic Federation Secures Delay i,
Threatened Strike.

New York, May 12.-Ralph NJ Eas-
ley. secretary of the Civic Federation,
announces that he has received tele-
gram that the Southern Pacific threat
ened strike had been postponed fifteen
days to give time for settlement of
the troubles.
The boilermakers on the Southern
Pacific road were to have gone on
strike Monday out of sympathy for
the Union Pacific machinists' strike,
which has been on for about six
months. Senator Hanna, acting for
the Civic Federation, asked that this
sympathetic strike be postponed
pending efforts of the federation to
bring about settlement.
Earlier reports stated that the strik
ers had informed Senator Hanna that
his request came too late, but Mr.
Easley said these reports were un
founded and that the assurance had
been received that delay of fifteen
days had been granted.
The executive committee of the Ma
tional Civic Federation meets in this
city on Wednesday and the question
of reaching a settlement in the Union
Pacific matter will come up then.

SMUGGLING ON THE INCREASE.
TraVeIAts Try to Avoid Paying Duty
or Purchases Abroad.

New York, May 12.-William ii.
IheObald, former special agent Of the
treasury department, makes the state
ment that more smuggling is going on
now than there has been at any previ-
Gus time in the history of the United
States government. or his own per-
Sonal knowledge he said he knew Of
four pearl necklaces, no one OF which
was worth less than $4,000, having
been brought into the port of New
York without paying cent of duty.
Further than this ne said he knew OF
at least four firms in Maiden lane who
are engaged in the unlawful traffic
and that he can place his hands upon
them at a moments notice.
Ludwig Nissen. who has been
chosen TO go abroad to bring about a
more thorough understanding be-
tween the foreign agents of the treas
ury department and the dealers there,
says:
Smuggling among merchants is
less than it has ever been before.
don't believe there are any large or
responsible houses that countenance
IT, The trade is confined to rather
narrow lines and we can get pretty
good idea OF II when any house does
that sort of thing.
But the smuggling by travellers
has been steadily on the increase.
Rich Americans go by thousands to
Europe every summer and the num-
Der of those who try to bring back
diamonds and other jewels is large
and increasing.
Many seizures have been made IN
the last few years, but, as 1t is with
gamblers. for every one that is caught
many 90 free. If these people only
knew it they could buy diamonds
cheaper here with the duty added
than in Europe. because the mer-
chants there invariably charge the
highest prices to the rich Americans.

BULGARIA. NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Powers win Net Tolerate Stern Meas
ures by Turkey.

Paris. May 12.-There was a simul.
taneous publication in Paris. Vienna
and ST. Petersburg of The official view
Of the Bulgarian sitIation. 1t ap-
peared in the Figaro here. the Neue
Freia picsso Of Vienna and in the oiii-
cjal organ ct st. Petersburg, and car
ries out the idea, previously cabled to
tn Associated Press. that the powers
are satisfied with the correctness OF
Bnlgaria's course and will not tolerate
the adoption by the sultan of Turkey
Of stern measures against Bulgaria on
account of the Salonica outrages.
II is pointed out that the question
is not merely one between a suZerain
and yassal, but is one between Tur-
key and the powers signatory of the
Berlin convention, mainly France,
Austria and Russia. owing to their
geographical position. The official
communication sums up as follows:
Two important points mark the
present status of the imbroglio. First
the Bulgarian government is not re-
sponsibe for the Macedonian vio-
lence: second. neither ST. Petersburg
Vienna nor Paris have the intention
to permit Bulgaria to be held respon
sible."
The communication closes with the
statement that the porte's first duty is
to carry out the general plan for the
Balkan reforms. repress the Albanian
agtators and punish the murderer OF
the Russian consul. adding:
"If Turkey persists in diverting at
tention by menacing Bulgaria the am
bassadors Of the powers may shortly
remind the porte of what the powers
accent
