ing that the Russian army Is preparing to
evacuate those places, and Is dismantling
and packing its equipment and effects Tor
removal. This is exactly what the Rus
sian ambassador has represented to Sec
rotary Hay and makes the mystery 50
much greater.
The Explanation.
There Is a possible explanation. Mr..
Cheshire. who has been interpreter at the
United States legation In Picking for more
than twenty years, and has as thoro a
knowledge of Chinese affairs as any man,
Is spending his vacation in Washington.
He suggests that the demands which are
represented to have been made by the
Russian government were submitted at
the Chinese foreign Office In the form of
an inquiry for the purpose of ascertain
ing how far that government would be
willing to go in legaltzing what Russia has
already obtained in Manchuria. He says
that it is also possible the manager OF
the Russo Chinese bank at Picking may
have submitted these demands as sort
of feeler, because they contain several
propositions of the greatest Importance
to that institution. Mr.. Cheshire does
not believe that they were proposed Off
cially by the Russian minister.
It is the. opinion Of the Chinese minis
ter Sir Cheng Tung, and several other o.
the European members Of the diplomatic
corps here agree with him, that the de-
mands referred to were submitted infor-
mally either by some one connected with
the Russian embassy in Picking or by the
manager Of the Russo Chinese bank fol

bakers were called out on strike this
morning by the pure foods council Near
" al 1.-The restaurants in the city are
closed. The butchers waIkouf included
those employed at the stock yeards and
many OF the meat markets. The union
bakers were cale1d out from not only the
houses deemed unfair. = but also those
against which labor has no grievance.
Tonight the retail clerks and internat-
ional stationery engineers will vote on the
question Of joining In the strike. It is
feared that these movements will q in
auEurate a general strike of all the trades
and labor unions OF the city.
!. The cause for the trouble is the refusal
of various bakers and grocers to make
contracts with the unions.

I .'..rhe statement that Herrick will prob
ably be the vice presidential nominee is
not inspired by a desire to pay him a
pretty compliment which has no particular
Significance. On the contrary it is based
upon something much more substantial.
One can say. upon most excellent author
lily that the Cleveland banker who is to
be nominated for governor by the repub-
leans Of: the buckeye state next month Is
being seriously discussed in presidential
cabinet circles in connection with the sec-
ond place on the national ticket In 1904.
The authority for this assertion is one of
the leading members of Roosevelt's cabi-
net, man who was invited into the presi-
dents official family not only because of
his peculiar fitness for the Office he now
holds but also on account of his political
sagacity and acumen.' =

1t is said that Superintendent Machen,
while he was in active service, Installed
new routes to such an extent that to pay
the salaries Of carriers and the other
expenses Of operation will create a de-
fcit Of about 100000. If all the routes
