Washington. Aug. 24.-The United
States Government does not intend to
insist upon the neutrality of China.
1t does not intend to insist that the
Russian warships now in the harbor
at Shanghai shall be disarmed or be
forced from their present haven. 1t
does not intend in any way to prevent
the Japanese from capturing the Rus
sian warships.
1t does not at this time propose pro-
tecting American interests in Shang-
hal or any other Chinese ports, II, by
so doing. 1t is found necessary to in
terfere with the freedom of the war
ships of any other nation.
This Is the decision that was reach
ed this afternoon by the Department
of State after a conference between
the State and Navy Department Off
cials with President Roosevelt at Oys-
ter Bay over the longdistance tele-
phone. Instructions In accordance
with this decision were sent to Rear
Admiral Sterling, in charge of the
Asiatic squadron now at Shanghai.

ACTION SAVES many.
Captain of Ferryboaf Rammed Makes

New York, April PA hundred pas
sengers on the ferryboat South Side,

The captain of the transfer-boat
realized that If he backed off the ferry
boat would float helplessly away and
sink. Whistling for help, he ordered
on all pressure, pushed the helpless
ferryboat toward the docks, and sue

the slip where the passengers quickly
scrambled through the windows and

PACKERS WILL FIGHT.
Court rfusf Decide on Their Right
House Employees.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-The packers will
apply to the courts for an injunction to
prevent the carrying out of the city's
orders that the strike-breakers be no
longer housed in the buildings In the
stockyards This was decided on at
a meeting of the legal representatives
of all the packing firms, save one, that
are affected by the strike
Agents of the packers hurried about
the yards today reassuring the non-un-
ion men and rushing the work OF re-
facilitating barracks to be entirely
separate from the slaughter houses.
Arrangements were made to bring in
tents to cover every available vacant
spot for the same purpose. Small cir
Gus tents were sent for to meet the
emergency. Swift's carshops were soon
taken possession of by mechanics, who
began fitting up the plants clubhouse,
and the same was done with other
buildings, apart from the killing de-
partments. Every effort was made to
prevent a stampede of non-unionists.
The packers declare 1t was successful
and that the exodus was no larger than
is usual ON Saturdays. Union pickets
reported that the assertions were
heavy and that the non-union men
were in state of terror.

TO SAVE TIMBER.
Fire Alarm System nay Be Put
In Reserves.

Washington, Aug. 20.-The agricul-
tural department is considering the
advisability of installing wireless tele-
graphy in forest reserves throughout
the West with view TO making the
system of forest protection more effect
i've. While the present ranger system
ia quite successful, numerous large fires
have occurred in reserves patrolled by
rangers because of their inability to
reach the fires at the time of their
origin. Secretary Wilson's idea is to
provide each reserve with practical
fire protection system that can be used
to give an alarm the moment fire il
discovered and get the settlers and the
rangers to the scene without delay.
While not satiffed wireless telegraphy
can be employed wi h good effect, Sec.
rotary Wilson believes the plan worthy
of investigation, and has directed Che
Moore. of the weather bureau, to toui
tnC otdSh AAliiS 1ScCtNC III EOubu LII
kota with view of determining th,
possibilities of this new service. If i
is found wireless telegraphy is too ex
pensive or impracticable, Chief Moor,
will report on some other fire alarm
system which will be effective in reach
ing rangers in all parts of the reserve
as we'll as settlers upon and adjacent t.
the reserve. If some system can be de
vised that will not be too expensive
Secretary Wilson will recommend it
adoption and ask congress to make tn
ne essary appropriation for equippii
all the forest reserves in the West.
1t is believed such fire alarm sys
tenn will be especially valuable an
practicable in reserve like the Blac
Hills, where large mining interests ar
conducted within the reservation an
employ large force of men. Secre
tary Wilson will not go into details i
discussing his plan, nor will he sho'
how ii is proposed to use wireless te
egraphy. He wishes little publicit
given the proposition until Chi.
Moore reports.
