is NOT FEARFUL
RUSSIA THINKS SHE HAS TIE
RIGHT TO SEARCH.
THE QUESTION WELL WEIGHED
Serious Complications Are Not Re-
garded as Prohabe-CurIcsity as to
What Germany Will Do About Seiz-
ure Of Mail Sacks.

ST. PETRSBURG.--The news that
the Russian volunteer steamships
Smolensk and st. Petersburg, now
cruising in the Red sea, are stopping
ships of neutral nations and searching
them for contraband of war Is causing
the lveliest interest in all circles.
Russia has evidently weighed the
question, believes herself to be within
her rights, and neither fears nor an
ticipates international complications.
Indeed, some of the powers may nave
been sounded by Russia on the sub
ject. Nevertheless, foreign opinion Is
awaited eagerly and more or less crit
icism is expected.
Members of the diplomatic corps
are keenly anxious to ascertain the
views their governments will take OF
the passage through the Dardanelles
of these vessels If the volunteer heet
as merchantmen and their subsequent
conversion into ships Of war. The
general view in diplomatic circles,
even where sentiment is not parucu-
larly friendly to Russia, Is that While
the passage of the Dardanelles might
be considered q piece of sharp prac-
tice on the part of Russia, 1t is an
accomplished fact, and the powers VIII
not now regard it as a violation or
the treaty Of Paris, but will guard
against it's repetition. The diplomats
think that some Of the powers may
insist that henceforth all volunteer
vessels shall be considered as war
ships within the meaning of the
treaty
One of the most interesting ques-
tioons in this connection, the diplo-
mats believe, will arise out of Rus
sia's declaration that coal Is contra
| band of war With prize crews on
board, the captured ships could be
| sent to Russian Baltic ports, but If
short of coal they could not put in at
neutral ports to replenish their bunk
ers. This same question may embar-
rass Russia when the Baltic squadron
sails for the far east
In view of the protest made by Ger
many in the case of the stoppage of
the steamer Bundesrath (seized in
Delagoa bay December 80, 1899, dur
ing the South African war, as the re-
suit of which Great Britain had to pay
damages), much curiosity exists as to
what Germany will do in the case OF
the confiscation by the Smolensk OF
the mail sacks on board the North
German Lloyd steamer Prince Helm
rich, especially as a large portion OF
the mail seized was undoubtedly of g
commercial character

MILES WILL SUPPORT PARKER.
Retired General Writes Letter to the
Democratic Nominee.


ESOPUS, N. Y.-Judge Parker has
received letter from General Nelson
A. Miles. The entire letter Is in Gen
eral Miles own handwriting and is as
follows:
Hon. Alton B. Parker, Esopus, N. Y:
Dear Sir-Safety for the good ship Of
state is of the first importance. At a
time when a material crisis is pending,
when democratic institutions are in
peril, when great evils should be eradi-
Gated, when important political ques-
tions must be decided, it is fortunate
that the democratic party has given to
the country a candidate for president
in whom that great council of repre-
sentative men have every confidence,
and we have the best of reasons for
believing that that confidence will be
confirmed by the intelligent, patriotic
people of the country.
We all do know that the instincts
and training of the judge are to hold
in sacred regard the constitution and
the faithful Interpretation and eXecu-
ton of laws. Hence we believe that
under your administration its law will
be administered with fidelity and integ-
rity. | believe you will be elected and
thereby have an opportunity of render
ing our country service of immeas-
urable value that will rebound to the
honor If the party and the glory OF
the republic. | have the honor to re-
main very truly yours,
NELSON A. MILES.

PAY HALF MILLION DoLLARo.
Worlds Fair Further Discharges Debt
to the Government.

ST. LOUISA payment of 100000
on the government loan of $4,000, 000
to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
company was deposited in the sub
treasury in st. Louis Saturday.
THE best answer to any talk that
the exposition company would have
difficulty in making the payment is tho
fact that the money is now in the sub
treasury" said President Francis. Not
only have we made the payment, but
II has been done day ahead of time,
and we will not know what the receipts
for the first fifteen days of July have
amounted to until the books are closed
on today's business.
The last payment was the first of
the 100000 semi-monthly payments
stipulated by congress when the
Worlds fair loan was authorized
There have been two previous pay
ments, each one comprising a certain
per cent of the gross receipts of the
exposition company from all sources
The total amount refunded the govern
ment is 1907, 149,15.

SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT.
Gets It Written and Is Ready for No
LITIGATION Committee.

OYSTER BAY, l.. president
has completed the speech he will de-
liver on July q on the occasion of his
notification of the action of the Chi
cago convention. 1t is about 5000
words in length.
No information has yet reached the
president regarding the strike of
union bricklayers at the Washington
barracks on account of the employ
ment of a monunion negro. 1t is not
expected here that the question will
be presented to the president at all.
The president passed upon similar
question last summer in the case of
a bookbinder named Miller in the gov
eminent printing office. While the
cases are not quite parallel the same
principle in a general way is involved
in both.

Port Rrthur.


ia TCHE KIAO-The latest reports
regarding the attempted storming OF
Port Arthur on July 70 place the Japa-
nese losses in killed or wounded at
$4,000 and those of the Russians at
$500. The Japanese retired and the
Russians occupied the position. The
Japanese have now changed their
frontal position. and big battle is
expected at the eastern portion of the
defenses, owing to the Japanese turn
ing movement.
A Japanese spy was captured Thurs
day. He was dressed in the garb of
Chinese and was remarkably cool
and defiant in demealor. He said he
was a Korean by birth and lived in
Japan for twelve years and loved that
country. Thousands like him, he de.
clared, were convinced that Japan
eventually would be successful. and he
advised the Russians to sue for peace
as soon as possible.

STRIKE ON AGAIN
PACKING HOUSE EMPLOYEES ARE
OUT A SECOND TIME.
A JOINT CONFERENCE IS HELD
Strikers Assert that Discrimination is
Shown When Application is Made
for Work-Packers Pick Out Ger
tain Employees and Let Others Go.

CHICAGO-The stock yards strike,
which was renewed Friday morning
in Chicago and all the other points
where the hog packing companies
have branches, because the strikers
were dissatisfied with the manner in
which the employers proposed to re-
instate their former employees pend
ing a settlement by arbitration, will
continue for another day at least.
A joint conference between repre-
resentatives of both sides to the con-
troversy and representatives or the al
lied trades in an attempt to S"ing
about a peaceabe adjustment of this
second strike was unsuccessful, and
the meeting was adjourned with the
understanding that another conference
would be held Saturday morning at
o'clock.
At the conference, which lasted
five hours, a committee consisting of
five representatives of the packers ana
five represe,. tatives of the butchers
union, was appointed to go over the
whole situation, but the committee
was unable to reach a working ba-
sis with which both sides would be
satisfied Whether the difficulty can
be satisfactorily settled lat Saturdays
meeting is problematical.
After adjournment publication
committee announced that the peace
negotiations had failed, but still has
hopes that an agreement could be
reached in the near future. No
written statement of what occurred
in the meeting was given, as has
been customary at the former confer
ences and the committee declined to
give any further information, except
that another meeting would be held
| Saturday.
Unless a settlement is reached Sat
urday the general belief is that a
sypathetic strike of the allied trades
in the packing industry, which was
threatened last week, to enforce the
demands of the strikers, will DE call

their willingness to stand by the
butchers if they are called on TO as
sist in the struggle with the packers

In the following statement giver
OUT by President Donnelly of the
butchers union, the reason why the
strikers refused to return to work is
given:
The packers signed an agreement
that there would be no discrimination
in the re-hiring of the men. Thi!
was accepted by the officers of thu
organization in good faith. On the
return of the men this morning the!

that was our main reason for Insisting

but in spite of this the packers in
