New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Oct. 9.-The World says
that the facts revealed by Daniel Lee
Roy Dresser in connection with the
United States Shipbuilding company
and the part played by J. P. Morgan
sale Of the Bethlehem Steel company
unsettled matters in Wall street to-
day, causing conservative men no lit
tie alarm.
The secret pool agreement with
Harris Gates & Co., by which the
$5,000,000 worth of ship-building
stock exacted as a bonus by J. P. Nor
gan's firm and the SIS, 900, 900 of stock
exacted by Mr.. Schwab was to be UNI
loaded upon the public. before any Of
the other stock of the company could
be sold, was condemned as an unwar-
ranted piece of fnanciering.
The exposure was admitted by bank
ers to be the severest blow Wall street
has ever received, because Of the great
prominence of Morgan & Co. and the
widespread public confidence in it.
To put Charles M. Schwab on the
witness stand is now the chief object
Of the frst-mortgage bondholders of
the shtpbuilding company, who want
the temporary receiver made per-
manent because Of alleged fraud and
Insolvency.
Efforts made to subpoena Schwab
have proved futile, tho the most ex-
pert process servers In the city have
been after him, uptown and down
town, day and night, for several days.
They have haunted his office, on the
fourth floor of No. Il Broadway, his
apartments uptown and the offices he
I is known to frequent.
It was learned to-day that If Mr..
Schwab continues his subpoena dodg-
ing much longer drastic steps will be
taken to get at him. An application
will be made to Judge Lacombe of the
Hunted States circuit court for an at
tachment against his body. Armed
with this document officers of the
United States court will have the
/ power to invade his home or his Of
| flee and to smash down doors IL such
faction is necessary to get him.

London, Oct. 9.-Britain's reading
public goes to school to chamberlain
again to-day. The demand for news
papers containing the colonial secre-
.tary's speeches is placing the resources
of Fleet street under the heaviest
strain it has borne since the South
African war. The multitudes swarm
ing in the London suburban trains
pore over and discuss the new pro-
posa1s. The trans, tubes and buses
witness similar scenes. The political
club, the great hotels and the centers
of financial and industrial life are
moved by the greatest excitement that
has been known since Gladstone's ora
tory convulsed the country.
In the midst Of this confusion and
commotion Camp bell-Bannerman and
Lord Spencer, the official leaders OF
the opposition in the house of COM
mons and the house of lords, respect
lively, are gathering their heutenants
about them and divising a plan OF
campaign.
Against the protectionists, they are
also comforting with Lord Rosebery
Fl. H. Asquith, Sir Edward Grey and
other representatives of the 1iberal-1m-
perialists In order to arrange some
basis for joint action.
A scheme for such action will prob
ably be agreed on and the whole force
Of liberalism will be arrayed in op-
position to the Cham berlain policy.
Even then it is gravely doubted by
many competent observers whether
the onslaught of the Birmingham
statesman can be resisted. It is pointed
out that he is the only stable factor
and the only conspicuous, courageous
personality in a most nebulous situa.
ltion, and that therefore the confidence

Mill Employees Are BalIotlnq Upon
the Proposition to Give Up

President Finley Intimates That Struggle is
Hopeless Result Will Be Known
Today.

A proposition to call off the strike
in the Minneapolis flour mills is be-
ing balloted upon by the International
Union of Flour and Cereal Mill opera
tors to-day. Shortly after 2 p. M.
the meeting was called to order by
President Finley, who made a brief
statement of the case. The inference
drawn from his address was that he
considered the case Of the men hope
less, and favored calling off the strike.
It is known that the older and more
conservative Of the mill workers IA

men, most Of whom have no families
and generally have less at stake, are

keeping up the fight. At the con-

ION A RAzOR'S EDGE
Washington, Regards Oriental situa

Washington, Regards Oriental Situa-
ton as Very Grave Indeed.
Special to The Journal.
Washington, Oct. 9.-The position
of Russian and Japanese naval forces
in the far east, side by side in Korean
waters, is regarded as sinister.
Neither state department. officials
nor diplomats here feel warranted as
yet in using the word war" in con-
nection with the differences between
Russia and Japan. 1t is realized,
! however, that the situation is like tin
der and that a single spark might
bring on confiagration.
| The proximity of the Russian and
Japanese fighting ships at a time when
national feeling is running 50 high,
especially in Japan, is regarded as an
element Of danger, not because Of any
premeditated engagement, but because
of the possibility of an accidental
clash between sailors and ders,
which would cause events to- move
| much faster than under ordinary cir
cumstances,
Russia In Strong Position.
While the sea fighting forces of the
two powers were much in evidence
six months ago, when Japan took vio-
I lent exception to Russian demands on
| China in regard to the evacuation of
Manchuria, the situation was not then
regarded as critical because it had
not been preceded by a long period of
rumors of preparation for war, as Is
now the case. Russia has steadily in
| the last three years been increasing
1 her fleet in Asiatic waters until it is
now stronger than the combined naval
| forces Of any two powers except
Japan. The Russian naval force is
complete in every detail. It includes
transports which could be utilized for
the invasion Of Japan by carrying
troops from Dalny, the terminus OF
the Trans-Siberian railroad. t.-...
The mobilization of the fighting
/ forces Of the two powers is taken as
showing that they both have thrown
off the mask and acknowledge thai
the Manchurian question is of the pas
and less vital than the Korean situa.
ton. Japan is directing a protest
against Russia's aggressive policy il
4 Korea rather than in Manchuria. The
reported movements Of Russian regi
ments to the frontier of Korea is re.
garded as an expected consequence o.
the declination of the request thai
i Russian lumber concessionaries il
Korea be protected, made upon the
Korean government by M. Havlow
,, the Russian minister at Seoul.
:, He was reported as declaring tina
if Korea did not protect the conces
!, sionaries, Russian troops would bt
thrown into the troubled district TO
, that purpose. The report that Rus
STA has proposed to Japan to parti
' ton Korea, the upper half going t,
Russia, the lower to Japan, is no
, regarded here as well founded. It is
however, believed that Russia ma.
have made some proposition In regar.
: to the continuance of Russia ant
Japan in Korea. aI-a ~

All the afternoon and late into the

Foreman Quist being excluded from

with Mr.. Quist still occupying posi-
ton on the outside. Upon the solici-
tation Of one Of the grand Jurors,

visit to the grand jury room. For.
nearly three hours his honor res

Shortly before noon Foreman Quist
was called into the juryroom for the
first time in the day. What happened

when the members emerged shortly

Judge Ponds Belief.
Judge Pond said this morning that
he did not believe there was any
ground for the charges made against
Foreman Quist and from his remarks
it is evident that he appeared before
| the inquisitors as Quist champion.
His position is criticized by some as
being somewhat inconsistent in view Of
his recent charge wherein he stated
| that an Indictment might be brought
| on the testimony Of one man. But It
is presumed that the court took the
stand that the testimony of the one
man in this instance was not. to be
relied upon.
This afternoon the session was re-
sumed and the work Of investigation Is
i believd to be under way.
Jury Not Thru With Case.
Information obtained later, how-
ever, shows that the grand jury is not
4 thru with Quist's case. The charge is
a serious one, and it is understood that
i the Jury will not drop it until they
