Japanese Prsmier's statement on sisu- alton in Far East.

Tokio, Japan, Nov. iD.-Premier Kat sura to-day received a deputation of the anti Russian league. He impressed the delegates with the necessity for complete unity and solidarity among the people in the face of the existing situaion, which, he declared. was most critical.
 There is a strong inclination in well informed circles to doubt the Pacific forecasts issued in Europe. It is be- .lieved here that peace will only be made possible by Russia's complete ac- ceptance of Japan's claims regarding Manchuria. The Japanese government finds it increasingly difficult to restrain popular sentiment
 At an important dinner this evening at the Imperial hotel, at which about 250 persons were present, representing all sections, resolution was adopted amid the greatest enthusiasm declaring that the continued delay was detrimen- tai to the national interests and to peace in the far east and urging the government to take prompt and decis- i've action.

BRITISH SHIPS CHARTERED
TO CARRY COLOMBIAN TROOPS
 TO ISTHMUS.
Navy Departments at Once Dispatches Boston to Proceed on Busna Ventura to watch-soIdiers VIII Not be AI- lowed to Land-Instructions to the Commander of the Boston.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Upon receipt of report by the state department that several British vessels were to be char. tered by the Colombian government to take troops from Buena Ventura to the isthmus, the navy department to-day ordered the Boston to proceed off Buena Ventura, and in the event that the troops start for the isthmus their com manders will be informed that they cannot land. The navy department an- nounces that no attempt will be made to interfere with British vessels on the high seas.
 It was learned at late hour tonight that the instructions cabled the com- manding officer of the Boston to-day were quite specific and thus constitute a modification of the more general in- structions previously sent him. The purpose in sending the specific instrue- tions was to prevent the commander of the Boston from going to the limit his general instructions might have war ranted. It is the desire of the admin istration to do nothing that may be considered an act of hostility to colom- bia. @

0REsoEus AND DAN PATCH.
One Fails and Other succeeds in Break
 ing Record.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 1O.-Dan Patch paced a mile on a half-mile track here this afternoon in 2:oSA and low cred the only worlds record for pacers outstanding against him. The record previous to this was 2:03s, held by Prince Alert. Cobweb. the runner that paced Dan Patch. faltered on the turn just before entering the stretch, and but for this Dan Patch probably would have made the mile in less than 2:03. The official time by quarters was: 3Ols, 1:o1, 1:s2A, 2:o8A.
 The horse was in splendid condition, and with the exception of slight breeze blowing down the stretch the weather was ideal. Tie track was hard and fast.
 Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 1O-In what was heralded as his last public appear ance on the turf Cresceus to-day failed in his effort to lower the worlds trot- ting record of 2:0S for a mile on a half mile track held by himself. He went the distance in 2:12A on the Kansas City Driving clubs track.
 The conditions were unfavorable for record time, and at the request of George H. Ketcham, the owner and driver of Cresceus, the judges announce ed before the trial against time was begun that the crowd must not expect to see the record broken. The track was not to Mir Keteham's liking, being little cuppy, and the wind was blow ing a gale from the west; but the most discouraging condition for fast time was the fact that Cresceus was suffer ing from slight lameness, due, it is said, to his recent experience in q wreck. The time by quarters was: Ss, 1:O65a, 1:3S%, 2:124.

 convension'

Boston, Nov. 10.--John Mitchell, pres ident of the United Mine Workers of America, presided for a time this after noon at the convention of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, and he re- ceived a greeting from the delegates which was as sincere and spontaneous as 1t was enthusiastic. Cheer after cheer resounded through Faneuil hall. the place of meeting, both from dele gate and spectator. It was MT. Mitch ellis first appearance as a speaker at the convention. The day was largely devoted to receiving reports from com mittees and disposing of the cases of protested delegates The report of the executive council, review of what the board had considered during the year, occupied the greater part of the fore noon session. The report decried the Jurisdiction disputes between affiliated unions. It contained all the corre- spondence with President Roosevelt in the Miller case at Washington, but re- trained from all comment upon the mat ter. @@@

Action Of the oonfsrsnes at Hartford
 E. Yesterday.

Hartford Nov. 10. = Twenty-nine lodges of Workmen were represented at the conference in Columbia hall to- day in response to the call of Union lodge of Mantle. A. O. U. w., to pro- test against the action of the grand lodge in endorsing the new assessment rates. The idea in calling the confer ence is to perfect an appeal from the grand lodges action and secure spe- cial sitting of the body when action may be taken to rescind the former vote. James R. White of Union lodge presid- ed after John J. Howard of Israel Put nam lodge of New Haven had declined to serve as either chairman or secre- tary. He said, however, that his lodge favored an appeal. The claim was made in the meeting that a number of delegates from Bridgeport did not fol- low out the instructions of their lodges. The grand lodge was criticised in un- complimentary terms by a number of the delegates.
 At the afternoon session the following resolution was adopted:
 Whereas, The vote of the Grand lodge of Connecticut, at it's session held in Bridgeport on October Ii, 1903, fixing new and higher rates of assessment, is injurious to the best interests of the A. o. U. w. in Connecticut;
 Therefore, we respectfully petition you, Grand Master Workman Hugh A. Keenan, to call special meeting of the Grand lodge for the purpose of repeal ing the laws relating to assessments for the beneficiary and guarantee funds, and re-enacting the classified assess nent plan now prevailing"
 After the passage of this resolution the meeting adjourned.

SAN DoMINGAN REVOLUTION.
U. S. Minister Powell Reports Situation
 Extremely Serious.

Washington, Nov. 10.-rhe state de- pertinent tonight received a cablegram from Minister Powell at San Domingo, dated at p. m. to-day, reporting the situation at San Domingo to be ex- tremely serious. The dispatch, it was stated, was the first which the depart
 ment had received on the day it was
 filed since disturbances began.
 A dispatch dated November 6 was also received to-day. It follows: "In-
 surgents have reached the city. Attack ed tonight on three sides. City being shelled. No damage"
 Cape Haytien, Nov. IDA dispatch from Monte Cristo says it is reported there that San Domingo was capitulat- ed to the revoIutionists and that Gen. eral Jirninez has been proclaimed presi- dent of the republic.
 Washington, Nov. 10.-Late tonight Assistant Secretary Loomis, of the
 state department, called at the execu- tive office of the White House and spent
 some time in the telegraph room. He refused to admit that he was cabling fresh instructions to Minister Powell,
 although he said that late in the after
 noon he notified the minister that the cruiser Baltimore was now on her way to that city and probably would reach there some time during the night. The
 Associated Press dispatch reporting the
 equalization of the city of San Domingo
 to the revolutionists was shown to, MT.

 that such action might have taken place subsequent to Minister Powell's cablegram that the situation was seri- ous. g.us.9@ :. Paris, Nov. IDA dispatch received

STOCKHOLDERS MEET.
Vote Against Reorganization of Lion
 Brewery Corporation.


 A meeting of the stockholders of the Lion Brewery corporation was held in the office of the brewery in Allingtown yesterday afternoon. William F. Radon. was made chairman and then Attorney William A. Wright, who represents creditors having claims of something like $40,OOo, made the important motion that the company be reorganized for the benefit of all concerned.
 Sheriff William H. Higgins objected to the motion but Charles Brown of Washington and Howard avenues sec onded it. The question was then put to vote and was lost. The action was a bitter disappointment to good many of the stockholders as they considered reorganization the last hope of their getting some return from their invest ment and building up a successful busi- ness. The opposition, however, is de-. termined to let matters run along un- der a receivership for the present.

MINES TO OPERATE AGAIN
SPECIAL SESSION OF MONTANA
 LEGISLATURE CALLED.
On the Strength of This All the Prop critics of che Amslgamated Company Will Resume Work To-day-Grsat Rejoicing at Butte-Legisiature to Pass a Fair Trial Bill.

Helena, Mont. Nov. 10.-Governor Toole this afternoon called special session of the legislature to meet on December 1 at Helena to pass laws to relieve the industrial condition in Mon tana caused by the shutting down of the 'Amalgamated Copper company's properties whereby 15,000 men were di- rectly thrown out of work and 150O0 more affected. The aim of the session is to pass a law whereby mining cases to be taken from one court to another when the judge in the initial court is shown to be prejudiced. Other legisla- ton of like character has also been promised.
 A so-called fair trial bill, of the char acter now proposed, was passed by the last legislature but was decided by the supreme court to be unconstitution- al on technical grounds. Recently at Butte. Judge William Clancy, of the district court, gave decision, in which he said that he might appoint a receiver at any time for the Boston and Monta- na company, one of the largest constit- uent companies of the Amalgamated. The decision was made on the applica- tion of John MacGinnis, a prominent holder of stock in the properties con- .rolled by F. Augustus Heinze of the Montana Ore Purchasing company, which has been at war with the Amal- gamated for years.
 Upon this announcement by Judge Clancy, President William Scallon of the Anaconda Copper Mining company. and general manager of the Amalga- mated, issued orders to shut down all the Amalgamated properties in Monta- na and elsewhere, declaring that the company, unable to secure judicial fair ness in the courts. could not continue in business. Since that time Governor Toole has been overwhelmed with petit tions signed by the thousands of citi- zens of Montana asking him to call a special session to pass laws to relieve the conditions.
 The works of the Amalgamated com pany will at once resume in various parts of the state This includes the greater mines in Butte, the smelters of the Washoe company in Anaconda, the largest in the world. the srnelters of the Boston and Montana company in Great Falls, also vast in their capacity; the coal mines at storrs, Belt, Oakdale and in wyoming; the great quarry in northern Montana. and the immense lumber industries in western and north- western Montana.
 Butte. Mont. Nov. 1o.-There was great rejoicing here when it became known .hat Governor Toole had called an extra session and within ten min u.es whistles were blown at several of the idle mines and flags were hoisted. All the Amalgamated properties will re- sume tomorrow and several thousand men will go to work in accordance with the promise of William Scallon. presi- dent of the Amalgamated company.

70 BE 4 PANAMA COMMITTEE.
Hanna to Succeed Morgan, Democrat,
 as Senate ohairmsn.

Haunh " SnCcOUN 4sAOA s"AtS ~',.@s's
 as Senate Chairman.
 washington, Nov. 1O.-The first step in preparation for handling the Isth- milan canal complication in the senate was taken at the republican caucus this afternoon, when it was decided to make the committee on interoceanic canals a majority committee. MT. Morgan, democrat, has been allowed to remain at its head in past congresses since the democrats lost control of the senate, largely as a personal compli- ment to him, in view of his lifelong in- terest in this project. This anomalous situation showed itself when the com nlittee voted ' to 4 in favor of the Nicaraguan route, to be overriden sub- seauent1y by the senate itself. %
 Of the six republicans now on the committee three are Nicaragua men, Platt of New York, Hawley of Connec- ticut and Mitchell of Oregon. The va- nancies, of which there are three, will probably be filled by men more in sym pathy with the administration policy, which seems to be promptly accepted as republican policy.
 MT. Hanna will doubtless succeed MT. Morgan as chairman of the committee.

The diplomat was in New Haven a. few weeks ago and at that time ac- cepted the invitation to peak before the club. He will address the Chamber of Commerce in New York, November IF. He will be the guest of Judge Harrison while in New Haven.

STONEWALL DEFENSE.
Scrubs Cannot Now Budge the Varsity
 Line.

2 Bowman's stock again went up a peg yesterday afternoon, when while play ing full-back on the scrubs against the second team he lifted a fine field goal from the forty-yard line.
 The secret practice of the varsity was not quite so long or heavy as on Monday. When the public was let in the varsity was lined up on the twen- ty-yard line and the scrubs were given the ball. Time after time Bowman and the other backs were sent against the stonewall defense of the varsity and could make no impression. Finally, af- ter ten minutes effort without scoring. the scrubs gave it up.
 The condition of the varsity, all though not all that could be desired, is still very good and confidence is strong regarding Saturdays game.
