LAKE TRAFFIC NEVER POORER
In Consequence Many Boats Will go
Out of Commission Early.

Vessel captains and owners at this
port are unanimous in their verdict
that business was never du11er on the
lakes, especially for lumber and
wood carrying boats. AS a result
many have gone into ordinary and
when the bad fall weather comes on
others will follow, not desiring to
carry insurance and run risks of being
lost. There is speculation as to
whether sailors will receive the custo-
mary raise in wages this fall. Usually
this increase takes place on September
l. At present the wages are So per
day, averaging Is cents higher than
on previous seasons. AS owners say
they cannot make money with their
boats under the present freight rates,
1t IS not likely that more wages can be
paid. It is not believed that the Sea-
mans union will order the increase.
On steamers the wage increases are
made according to the contracts with
various lake labor organizations.
Most of these become effective Oct. 1
and are operative until the close of
season. The advances il this instance
range from $3.50 to $40 per month,
covering nearly all classes of labor
Vessel owners say the general freight
situation will have to show material
Improvement if boats are operated
through the month of November this
year, as the losses sustained by delay
due to bad weather and higher cost of
insurance will prevent the increase in
wages.
Vessel owners are beginning to
speculate on the condition of business
next season, and the general impress
sion is that the season will be a good
one. There will be revival of business
Immediately after the presidential
election, they say, and this improve
ment will continue for at least three
years.
'"The season will not be profitable
one for vessel owners says the
Review, "as carrying charges from
the head of the lakes are Is cents less
than they were last year and there is
no corresponding reduction in oper-
ating expenses. The same wage
schedule is paid this year as last, and
the only concession is cents a ton on
the unloading charge"

BOYS STEAL WATERMELONS.

Complaint has been made at the
police Office that a gang of seven boys
residing in the neighborhood of the
Chicago and Northwestern railway
station broke into a freight car on the
tracks of the company yesterday af-
ternoon. The car was loaded with
waterme1ons and before the boys were

score of the melons and had either sold
or eaten them. The police have dis
covered the leader of the gang and if
the boys fail to pay for the melons
they will be arrested and charged with
larceny.

TO GUST INSECTS,
Governments Department Of En-
tomoIogy Comes to the Aid Of
Kenosha Shade Trees.
DANGER MAY BE PASSED.
L. O. Howard, Chief of Bureau Gives
Kenosha People Some Advice in Re-
gard to. Shade Tree Pests.

In reply to request sent to the
United States Department of Agricu1-
ture short time ago Sheriff Henry
Timn1e has received letter from L.
0. Howard, chief of the Bureau of
Entomology in which the death kne1l
of the maple tree pest is sounded. In
his letter the chief of the department
seems to minimize the danger from
the pests and seems to be of the opin-
ion that the pests will be killed by
natural causes in short time, but
for the benefit of the people who are
not willing to allow the pests a quiet
death he gives remedies for their i'm
mediate determination. The letter
from the official is as follows:
August II, 1904.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the 18th
instant has been duly received and re-
ferred to this office r attention. The
insect on the limbs which you send
proves to be the common cottony scale
of the maple Pu1vinaria innumera-
bilis). The cottony (real1y waxy) mass
is the egg receptacle secreted by the
adult scale insect. The young scales
hatch from the eggs in this mass in
June and July and spread out over
the leaves, returning to the twigs in
the autumn. The remedy is to spray
the trees with an oily mixture within
a month after the young emerge. The
spray recommended is kerosene emu1-
sion, following the directions given in
Farmers Bulletin, No. 127, copy of
which I am sending to you under sep
arate cover. AS rule this scale in
sect does not necessarily threaten the
life of the trees attacked, and is apt
very shortly to be brought under con-
troll by natural enemies. It is, there
fore, probably inadvisab1e to under
take the expense of spraying large
trees. With small trees, which may
be more easily sprayed, it may be we'll
to apply the remedy indicated.
Yours truly,
L. O. HOWARD,
Chief of Bureau.
Mr.. HENRY H. TIMME,
Kenosha, Wis.
Accompanying the letter the chief
of the Bureau sent very exhaustive
booklet on the habits of the insects
written by Charles L. Mar1att, the
first assistant in the department.
This booklet goes more into the detail
of the work of exterminating the in
sects. It will be kept at the office of
the sheriff and will be open for the
use of the people of the city.

COMES TO KENosHA.
Relative of John Rosciszewski Identi-
fes His Remains.

Relative of John Rosciszewski Identi-
fies His Remains.
Vincent Rosciszewski, a brother of
John Rosciszewski who was asphyx-
lated at the Sch1itz Hotel on Tuesday
morning, came here from Milwaukee
on Wednesday afternoon and after
viewing the remains identified them
as his brother. He stated that the
dead man had three brothers and two
sisters residing in Milwaukee, and
that his wife and a number of step
children we're living in Chicago. The
brother also stated that for some time
the relations between Rosciszewski
and his wife had not been of the most
pleasant sort, and for this reason it is
not thought that Mrs. Rosciszewski
will care to have the remains sent to
Chicago.
The Milwaukee brother stated that
all the relatives Of the deceased were
in very poor circumstances, and that
they could not afford to contribute
money to prepare for the funeral of
the men. It is probable that the re-
mains will be buried by the county,
but the coroner has communicated
with the widow and has asked her to
come to Kenosha and take charge of
the remains.

DANCED AT EVERGREEN PARK.

A large number Of the members of
the local Clerks Union went to Ever
green park Wednesday night to at
tend a dancing party given by the
Clerks Union of Racine. The Keno
sha clerks were the guests of honor
and they were entertained in royal
manner. There were more than five
hundred people present at the dance
and all of them report a great time.
It is probable that the Kenosha clerks
will give an entertainment in honor
of the Racine clerks before the end
of the summer.

RECKLESS DARING
OF THE Japanese.
Russian Story of Admiral Togo's
Attempt to Repeat a Famous
Torpedo Boat Exploit.
TOGO TOLD A DIFFERENT STORY
IN HIS ACCOUNT OF The EXPLOIT.
Russians ExtoI the bravery of the
Japanese, But Claim the EhOrt
Cost Them Two Boats Sunk and
One Crippled Without Any Com
p~ensatiOn.

st. Petersburg, July Ga few nights
ago Admiral Togo attempted to repeat
the Japanese exploit with torpedo
boats at Wei-Hi-Wei during the Chi
nese-Japanese war, by sending torpedo
boat destroyers into the harbor of
Port Arthur for the purpose of sinking
ships at their anchorage, but the at
tempt ended in disastrous failure.
Four torpedo boat d~estroyers succeed
ed in creeping into the harbor, which
was not protected by booms, but only
one escaped. Two were sunk by the
shore batteries and one was crippled.
The reckless bravery of the Japanese
in going to almost certain destruction
excites nothing but admiration here.
The channel at Port Arthur is SO tor
turous and strewn with wrecks with
out that evidently 1t was regarded as
unnecessary to use a boom. One &C.
count of the difficulty of getting into
the harbor the feat is considered in
naval circles to be fully as daring as
that of the Japanese at Wei-Hai-Wei,
where the Japanese torpedo boats, in
a storm, and covered with ice, were
jumped over the booms protecting that
harbor and destroyed Chinese war
ships. So far as known the Japanese
torpedo boat destrOyers did not even
succeed in launching t~orpedoes.

st. Louis. July 6.-Exactly al noon
Chairman j. X. Jones Of the national
committee, called the convention to or

and the sound of his gavel brought
forth a cheer from the floor and gall
lerieS.
Chairman Jones directed TIE SER
geant-at-arms to secure order. He con-
tinued belaboring the table with his
gavel, but it was some time before
quiet reigned.
Chairman Jones directed the secre-
tary to read the call for the conven-

Applause followed the reading OF
the call. After quiet was restored,
Chairman Jones announced that the
convention would be opened with
prayer by Rev. John F. Cannon. pas
tor of the Grand Avenue, Baptist
church.. of ST. Louis.
During the Invocation the conven-
ton stood. DR.. Cannon's voice was
entirely inadequate to reach even the
center of the hall. The prayer DC
cupied several minutes.
Enthusiastic cheering greeted the
chairman's announcement that he was
directed by the national committee to
appoint John S. Williams temporary
chairman, and c. A. Walsh temporary
secretary, and John l. Martin tempo
a sergeant-at-arms.
The chairman appointed Col. John
NJ. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, and M. F.
Tarpey, of California. to escort Mr..
Williams to the chair. AS the plat
form was inclosed by a railing it was
necessary for the committee and Mr..
Williams to climb over the railing.
The committee lifted Mr.. Williams
safely over and the entire convention
burst into cheers as he assembled the
platform.

YOU John S. Williams as temporary
chairman" said Chairman Jones, and
again the convention cheered.

transpires that the Russian volunteer
fleet steamer st. Petersburg, which
passed through the Bcsphorus from the
Black sea this moraing in company
with the Sevastopol, the latter flying
the Red Cross and with her hull paint

by blank shots from the Turkish forts,
fired without previous warning.

friction but, after a delay of several
hours, explanations we're exchanged be-

ley, of Texas, is Agreed Upon.
st. Louis, July 6.-Hon. David b.
Hill announced that United States
Senator Joseph w. Bailey, of Texas,
had been agreed upon for permanent
chairman of the convention. Outside
of this announcement there was little
or nothing doing about New York's
quarters except a vigorous demand by
400 Tammany braves for seats in the
convention, a demand which National
Committeeman Mack could not graf
ify. Senator Grady, of New York, ap-
pealed to Senator Hill, but the latter
told him he could not assist him. Then
Senator Grady accused the Hill people
of bad faith, and said that they were
purposely keeping out the Tammany
people to prevent applause for any
other candidate than Parker.

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN JONES
gray suit, and a white waistcoat. He
delivered his address calmly n with
out gestures. Several cries of louder,
louder interrupted Mr.. Williams as
he began, his clear but not powerful
voice at first failing to reach all parts
of the hall.
AS Mr.. Williams proceeded his voice
increased in volume, and the delegates
listened attentively.
The convention appeared consid-
erably amused at Mr.. Williams hui
morously sarcastic references to the
Mutual Admiration society" of Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Root, and when he
read an .eulogy by the president on
Mr.. Root the delegates laughed and
%applauded. Mr.. Williams spoke in an
~ironical tone that caught the fancy
of the convention, and he vas inter
rupted time and again by laughter.
Cheering was evoked by the speak
er'S statement that Mr.. Roosevelt had
found praise for only three presidents,
George Washington, Abraham Lin
coin and himself" and when he asked
If the Hell Roaring Jake" Smith or
der was a sample of the moral senti-
ment for which the republic stood, a
lusty cheer broke forth.
A great part of Mr.. Williams speech
was delivered under great difficulties,
for the speaker and those of his hear
ers who were supposed to be most
directly interested in his remarks. The
aisles leading past the delegates were
packed by dense throngs, who kept up
a constant hum of conversation that
smothered Mr.. Williams voice. Po-
licemen who were stationed in the
space around the platform to keep
Others away did it by occupying the
space themselves to the exclusion OF
all others. Several times the speaker
stopped anG asked that the talking
cease in order that he might make
himself better understood.
Mr.. Williams drew a picture OF the
country's condition at the time OF
President Cleveland's first Inaugural
ton. declaring that much of the dis
tress that came in the early nineties
were due to Republican misrule that
had gone before. Under Benjamin
Harrison, he said, for three years, all
hope but well-night vanished from the
business world. He scored the atti-
tude of the Republican party on the
financial question, declaring that 1T
had been full of inconsistencies AMI
absurdities. He mentioned the name
of Mr.. Bryan in discussing the price
of wheat during the first Bryan-Mc-
Kinley campaign. The u%tterance OF
the name called forth a little applause
and some cheers. A second later he
mentioned the name again and the
applause was not repeated.
Mention of Grover Cleveland caused
an outburst of great cheering, which
lasted for some time. AMI Mr.. Will
Jams was obliged to suspend his
speech till order was restored. Mean
while a st. Louisan, named Tim Muir
phy, who was among the foremost in
preventing a restoration of order, was
arrested by order of Segreant-at-Arms
Martin and forcibly elected.

RECENT TROUBLE IN HAYT1
According to the Haytien Minister o
Mountain Was Made of a Molehill
What StOnlnE There Was Arose
From the Guards Desire to 4
Avoid Using His Rife.

Washington, July 6.-Mr. LegeT, the
Haytien minister, has made an ex-
PLANTATION of the recent International
episode at Port-au-Prince, involving an
attack on the French and German min
listers and the presence of warships in
consequence to procure reparation,
which throws an entirely different
light on the affair, d~epriving it of any
such anti-foreign animus as was at
first attributed to it.
The minister's advices, just received
from Haiti, shows that the incident
occurred as follows:
Before the executive mansion at
Port-au-Prince there is a road which,
is closed after dark to all pedestrians
and carriages. On the morning of the
21st of June two carriages were e
on that road. 1t was dark. The SEN
try could not see the occupants of the
carriages and could not hen know
if they were foreigners or natives. The
coachmen, not hearing or not taking

direction of the carriages. When, the
next morning, the report was made
that the occupants of the carriages
were the French and German minis
ters, the officers of the guard and the
sentry were punished and the secre-
tary for exterior relations called at
both legations to express regret and
apologize in the name of the govern
ment."
Minister Powell has since reported
to the state department that the in
cident has been satisfactorily closed.
