CHANGE OF VIEW AS
TO C0NTRABAND OF WAR.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 16.-Russia has
given her answer to the American and
British note on the subject of contra
band of war. Her answer was COM
municated to Ambassador Hardinge
this afternoon.
The ambassador was informed, in
effect, that according to the decision of
the commission which has Investigated
the subject the government has agreed
to view as of a conditionally contra
band character foodstuffs and fuel, the
assumption being that if they are ad-
dressed to private persons or firms in
an enemy's port, they are not intended
for warlike uses; but their innocent
character may be subject to suspicion
if the ships papers and the circum-
stances are irregular. This will in
volve a reversal of the Judgment of
the Vladivostok prize court by the the
admiralty court in the case of the pro-
visions confiscated.
A direct answer to the American
note is expected Tomorrow.

VIII BE Connected with the Dem-
Ocrntic Campaign
New York. Sept. 16.-Several impor-
tant questions were settled by the
visit of Judge Alton B. Parker to New
York and his conferences with Demo-
cratic leaders. 1t was determined that
Senator German should have an active
place in the, campaign.s shut that Chair
man Taggart was net tq6be super
seeded.
r The conference of lraannanya lead
ers with Judge Parker resulted in the
settlement of differences in Greater
New York, so far as they relate to
national and state issues. The selec-
ton of a temporary chairman of the
Democratic State Convention was
made and his name will be officially
announced tomorrow.
A representative of the Associated
Press was received by Judge Parker,
who, however, declined to discuss in
detail any of the matters which brought
him to New York. He said that Sena-
important place in the management
of the campaign and that his decision
was at the earnest request of National
Chairman Taggart as well as all other
campaign managers. He said that Mr..
Taggart would not be supplanted nor
superseded in any way and that Sena-
tor German would not be connected
with the details of the campaign man
agement. Judge Parker said Senator
German would act in an advisory
capacity only and would remain in
New York practically all the time from
now to election.
The candidate was disinclined to COM
ment on the governorship nomination
for New York. but admitted that near
ly all of his callers who reside with
in the state had discussed the various
candidates.. Judge Parker said he
was opposed to a decision in favor of
any candidate as the result of con-
ferences, such as now are in progress
at the Hotel Astor, and added that no
decision would be made at this time.
Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany
leader, was closeted with Judge Parker
for half an hour this morning and had
an afternoon audience which lasted un-
til the Judge left for Esopus
Judge Parker received about eighty
members of the National Bankers As
sociation. in session in this city There
were no speeches. He left for Esopus

and will come in voluntarily to-mor-
row morning and give themselves up.
If they do not violate their pledge,
this will place all of the gang in the
custody of the officers. with the ex-
ception of Jesse Altman, who is still
at large, and his whereabouts un-
known. He was seen in Baxter to-
day, but disappeared shortly before the
sheriff arrived from McClenny. 1t is
thought that he, too. will surrender
when he finds that the others have
taken that course.

when, in addressing the court. he ques-
toned the constitutionality of the act
allowing soldiers in civil court room.

the presence of the militia.
Solicitor Pettus replied to Mr.. Cooper
with the statement that the militia
were not aliens, but natives of Ala
bama, and sent here by their Governor
to maintain the laws of the state.
Judge Speake characterized Mr..
Cooper's speech as incendiary, and re-
minded the attorney that what he said
was liable to arouse the passions of
the people. Judge Speake assumed re-
sponsibility for the presence of the
militia.

two of the three barges she was tow
ing from Boston to Norfolk, having
one of her own crew washed overheard
and drowned and nearly laundering in
her efforts to rescue him, the tug Mer-

port with the barge Camden
The other two barges with their crews
of ten men are somewhere on the
ocean. if they weathered Thursday
mornings gale. The Merrill took on
coal here Immediately after coming I'm,
and at once put out in search of the
missing barges.
The disaster occurred fifty miles
southeast of Barnegat. The tug and
barges were struck by the gale at $50
o'clock Thursday morning. The Cam
den was next to the tug and the other
barges were astern. All the vessels
shipped seas continually, and Capt A.
c. Smith of the Merrill says it looked
as If the entire convoy would founder.
Harry Rose, a white seaman, had been
on duty in the pilot house of the tug
and went below to get cup of coffee.
AS he was playing with dog on the
deck while on his way back TO the
wheel a big wave crashed over the
boat and he was washed overheard.
The tug steamed back to the first
barge, where Rose was struggling, and
threw a rope to him. He could not
get II and sank.
In putting about, the tug went on her
beams and barely righted herself.
When the strain was put on the haw-
sers in getting under headway again,
the rope connecting the Camden with
the other two barges parted and they
we're quickly lost sight of in the thick
weather. Rose had around his neck
a bag containing $500.
The barges were loaded with iron ore
and when last seen. were being blown
TO sea IN the northeast storm.

WAR SITUATION.

Statements that the Japanese
army is concentrating upon the
tanks of the Russian forces in the
vicinity of Mukden are met at the
Russian War Office with express
sions of incredulity. -
1t is .the opinion at st. Peters,
burg that a much longer time must
elapse before Oyama can put his
army, which was so sorely tried in
the battle of Lao Yang, in con-
dition to undertake a forward
movement.
Russia's recession from her early
position on the question of contra
band is regarded as the occasion
of the probable retirement of Vice
Admiral Avelan from his post as
the head of the Russian admiralty
department.
