aging its affairs and unlawfully diyertine
It's funds to their own USE
mo notice of this suit was given to the
association, and no demand was made upon

day that the suit was brought, and as soon
as the officers learned of it, they immedi-
ately paid to Mr. Lucas the withdrawal

without suit if Mr.. Lucas had SO desired.
Under the bylaws Mr. Lucas was not
entitled to receive the amount of his stock

these attacks upon its credit the assocfa-
ton was willing. and is willing. to pay him
and all other dissatisfied stockholders at
this time the sums which they were only

any of its officers have been improperly
using its funds Is false"

WILL BE IGNORED.
Utterances of the Colombian Consul
General at London.

The State Department is not. disposed
at present to take any notice officially of
the utterances attributed In the cable
dispatches to the Colombian consul general
at London. ascribing invidious motives to
the United States government in connection
with the Panama canal project. 1t Is said
at the department that while there would
be precedent for complaining OF the action
OF the Colombian officials located in the
United States 1t is not at all clear that
complaint could be lodged against Co
lombian official In another country How
ever. the department also calls attention
TO the fact that the alleged utterances are
unofficfal. which will serve to excuse il for
any lack of action in this case
The statements objected to have already
found currency In American newspapers
though never In such definite form as this
and some OF them. such as that the United
States government is fomenting a revolu-
tion of the insular provinces of Colombia
have been explicitly denied. Touching the
broad statement that the United States
government intends to maintain as much
title to right of way across the isthmus as
1t has already acquired through negoti-
ations with Minister Herran il Is believed
that this is quite correct. though there will
be no assertion on that point until the
Colombian congress has acted on the pend
Ing treaty.

GRAND DUKE VLADIMIR.
Uncle of the Gear Speaks on Jewish
Question.

NEW YORK, June 30.--A special cable
dispatch to the World from Hon1burg, Ger
many, reports an interview with the Grand
Duke Vladimir uncle of the Gar of Rus
sia on the Jewish question in Russia. The
grand duke said:
1.-The Jewish agitation is chiefly instigated
by influential Jews outside of Russia. such
as the members of the society in New York
which has presented petition, and espec-
tally the powerful Jews in Berlin
~ do not in the least condone the civil
administration The governor tof kishi
neff), although an old officer, decorated for
bravery, appears to have lost his head. But
directly application was made to the mill
tary authorities - who cannot intervene
without being requested to do so-the crisis
ended in two three hours. Military
assistance was summoned too late. and the
governor has since then been removed"
The grand duke was asked what reception
would be given the American petition in
Russia He replied:
There can be no question of intervention
by America in the purely internal affairs
of Russia. Nevertheless l am aware that
the relations between Russia and America
have always been of very cordial nature.
especially since 1862, when a Russian fleet
visited New York.

break occurred In the prices Of cotton this
morning. July contracts broke IS points
and August "a points
For a long time such a decline had been
predicted and various stories were in circu-

losses. One was to the effect that there
were internal dissensions in the pool ranks
and another that certain element of the
New Orleans contingent was leaking cot

however there was a partial rally on re-

PREACHER UNWELCOME.
Divine's Attitude on Car Strike No
Appreciated by Flock.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, June 29.-One pastor in
the city is reported to be In fair way to
receive a request from his congregation to
vacate on account OF his attitude regarding
the street car strike.
The church whose pulpit he fills is one or
the largest In the city and has regular
attendance of about 500 persons every sun
day, besides a Sunday school Of huge pro-
portions.
The pastor Of the church has been one or
those who have on former occasions under
taken the settlement of disputes in which
the laboring class was party. His church
is largely made up of those who earn their
living by the sweat of their brows
The petition asking his resignation is
said to have already received the sigma
lures of many of the members. So far 1t
has not been presented. The alleged griev-
ance of the congregation lies in the fact
that the pastor has ridden on the street
cars during the strike.
