New York, May 20.--Lew Docks

over to the police the moving picture
nlms that were used in a camera yes
terday in the Capitol grounds at Wash

made of man made up to represent
President Roosevelt extending aid to 4
negro lying on the ground. Dockstad-

inspectors office. 4 wanted the pic-
lures for a new monologue, said
Dockstader, after leaving the fnspec-
tors office, "and am very sorry that
my actions should have caused such 4
commotion. 1t IS not true% said Dock
stader, that I was made up to look
like Booker L. Washington, although
the other man was made to represent

inal treaty of 1894, special agree
ment regarding the imperial household
and all mining and timber concessions
on the Yalu and Tumen rivers and on
Nagelet island, off the east coast. 1t
declares that lumber grants to private
individuals the time limitation of
which has lapsed, were extended sur
reptitiously by the prime minister and
finally by the Korean foreign Office, a
minor official of which signed the ex-
tension under Russian pressure.
An additional clause inserted had
given territorial privileges i'll the con-
cession which became the means of
cloaking governmental land grabbing
schemes and was therefore declared
null and void. This formal declara-
tion still further involves the Korean
with the Russian government and OBJ
literates even the semblance of neu-
trality.
Korean steamers belonging to the
imperial household, but nominally
privately owned, have been used as
transports to land troops at Chin
nampo and other northern ports. Ev-
erything points to the steady growth
Of Japanese domination and an abso-
lutte determination to erase all traces
OF Russian power In Korea.

New York, May 2O.rSpeciaI dis

ditions existing during the previous
month, and has its basis in more sea-
sonable weather and increased orders

port material addition to the volume
of restocking business" with a ten
dency among many merchants to dupli-
cate orders previously given for spring
goods. Dry goods have been particrl-
larly active, with a healthy demand for
both spring and fall stock. Clothing
lines are also rejecting Improvement,
which is specially evidenced through
out the southwest Boots and shoes
are more active with strong inquiry
for the better qualities.
Heavy weight goods have been con-
sumed in such quantities as to ex-
haust supplies of 'scarried-over stock"
to the lowest volume in years. This
has placed dealers in specially strong
position to handle seasonabla goods
which they are doing nrofitably and
expeditiously owing to the generally
milder weather. While Improvement
has been noteworthy, however, it is
doubtful whether the present inrush
of orders will be sufficient to make
good the March and April deficiency.
People generally seem to be we'll sup
piled with money and whilE~Eautious
about engaging in new enterprises, arc
not backward about securing goods
they really need. Everywhere under
living conditions are reported sound.

benefited by the warmer weather
Although wheat suffered serious in-
Jury by the setback encountered dur
ing the recent cold snA2 a fair sized
crop can be counted on if normal con-
ditions prevail.

Fairbanks Rivals
Withdraw From
the Race.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

CHICAGO, June 22-Entries in the
Vice Presidential race are being
scratched with great rapidity since the
withdrawal of Representative Hit.
which was announced to-day. Col
orado, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Mis-

place their favorite sons in nomina-
ton. Positive announcements to this
effect, however, have not been made.
The course pursued when the roll Of
States is being called for nominations
will govern.
The Missouri delegation tonight
seems least inclined to abandon inten-
tion to place Walbridge in nomination.
A meeting of the delegation was called
for the purpose of caucusing on the
question. 1t was postponed until to-
morrow morning and the opinion was
expressed that no other nomination
than that of Senator Fairbanks would
be made.
