RUSSO-AMERICAN RELATIONS.
Secretary Hay Will Lay the Subject Before
the President To-day.

Washington, June 5.-Secretary Hay will lay
the Russian-American situation, both as re-
CARDS the Manchurian and kfshineff incidents,
before the President tomorrow. 1t IS expected
that these matters and the postal investigation
will consume most of the Cabinets attention at
its meeting tomorrow. The position OF TINS
government as to Russian affairs is extremely
difficult and especially so, ii is said, because OF
the numerous resolutions adopted as to the
Kishineff affair. The situation has called for the
exercise of much tact, and it can be said on the
highest authority that thus far no friction has
occurred between the Russian Government and
that OF the United States, although Russia is
disappointed because resolutions are still passed
condemning Russia, notwithstanding the as
surances of the government and the severe re-
pressive measures it has taken to prevent
further outbreaks against the Jews.

MAY REMOVE WORKS FROM BROOKLYN
Directors of Hecla Iron Works Want Better
Protection Against Strikers.

Since the resumption of work at the Hecla Iron
Works North Eleventh-st. Brooklyn, the first
of the week the striking employees who did not
return have caused so much trouble that at a
meeting of the board of directors held yesterday
1t was decided that an appeal should be made to
District Attorney Clarke in an effort to stop the
outragcs, and, if that did not prove effectual TO
move the plant away from Brooklyn entirely.
Captain DooIey, of the Bedford-ave. station, has
given what protection he could, but the strikers
have followed the workmen for several blocks and
then assaulted them. Five of the men were at
tackled Thursday night, and Charles Heimers
was so badly injured that he will not be able to
return to work for weeks. The others, who were

they refused the latterS demands TO quilt work

The officials of the Hecla Iron Works are particu-

because the company has always treated Its men
fairly and paid good wages, and up TO the time Of
the recent strike had a profit sharing scheme in

the company has refused to recognize the unions
and that is the only grievance the strikers have.

MINERS AGGRESSIVE.
Then Insist That the Operators
GiUe In.

Wikesbarre, Penn, June J.-Since the report
ed statement of Judge Gray, taking sides with
the miners in their contention that their first
Cancellation committee legally elected, the
miners have taken a new stand, and high Off
Gals of the mine workers in this city said to-
day that there would very likely be suspension
Of work unless the operators receded from their
position. The opinion of the chairman of the
coal strike commission is regarded by the miners
as vindication of their position and has stirred
them to resist the stand of the companies rep
resentatiyes and to insist the recognition or
their board as first selected.
An official of OF the companies here said
tonight that he believed the operators conclli-
ators would have no objection to Messrs. Mich
oils Dettrey and Fahy if the latter were elected
to the board by the coming miners convention
The operators do not object TO the persohnei
of the mine workers representatives., ne SAID
In fact they would rather deal with these
named. The objection is solely to the manner
in which they were appointed. AS 1t appears to
us the board members of the United Mine
Workers of America appointed their dlStrlcl
presidents without consulting the men en-
Iloyed in the mines to their choice.
I'VE want the board selected in a manner
that will permit of future disputes as to
legality. SO that when it's award is made. it
cannot be questioned by miners, who might say
that they had voice in the selection OF their
representatives. The questions to be deter
mined are of too great Importance to be con-
sidered by a board of whose legality or power
to act a doubt existed; and there is a doubt,
doubt removed by the decision of miners

of Jesse Lewisohn, charged by District Attorney
Jerome with criminal contempt of court in refusing
to testify as his relations with Richard A. Can
field keeper OF alleged gambling house in New

guarantee that person shall be compelled in

the People maintain that the constitution does not
apply in the present case. Mr.. Jerome was not
present.
II the course Of the argument for the People this
reference was made. presumably TO conditions al
legged to prevail at Saratoga:
Il Is notorious fact that in one OF the counties
of this State public gambling has been earned on

right minded people and 10 the dismay OF all VINO
believe that under our forms of government II IS
important that a respect for the administration OF

both OF those who maintain the gambling mouse
and of those who resort to II. IT the People are
