simply a demonstration made for the
purpose Of checking the Russian cav

SHOPPERS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
Explosion of Giant Torpedo
Starts Blaze in Fireworks
Store and Causes Panic

WORCESTER, Mass, July BY ac-
cidentally stepping on bomb jack"
large torpedo, Albert Childs, clerk
Of the Nelson Novelty Store in this city,
started a fire tonight which caused the
explosion of $500 worth of fireworks
and cut off forty clerks and customers
who were in the store from the only
exit. Woman and children were in
jured and suffocated by smoke and
were rescued from the cellar, where
they had fed to avoid the flames.
Manuel Oviginian was caught under an
elevator as it was descending with
twenty-five women and probably fatal
ly hurt. Jacob Bekin and Ovigian
Oviginian of New Haven are danger
ously i'll from inhaling smoke. Twen-
ty-five women and children received
minor injuries.
The elevator, which was crowded
with women and children, had reached
the first floor when the explosion oc-
CURED. Some one in the elevator
pulled the cord and sent the car into
the cellar with it's load of human
freight. The cellar was fast filling
with smoke and here the firemen found
the half suffocated people. 1t was with
difficulty that they were all finally
rescued. The financial loss was small.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-Takahira,
the Japanese Minister, had a long
conference with Secretary Hay re-
specting the published Russian allega-
tlOns of cruel treatment of wounded
Russians by Japanese soldiers. The
Minister addressed himself to Secre-
tary Hay because the latter had as
sumed the charge of Japanese in
terests in Russia. 1t is said. how
ever, that neither Secretary Hay nor
Minister Takahira had received any
official ommunication on this subject
aud the discussion was preliminary TO
more formal exchange when the ex-
pected Russian protest is forthcoming.
Some military experts here believe the
Russians have been misled by the
frightful effects Of the Japanese shells.
If the Russian complaint is properly
supported it will be duly presented to
the Japanese Government by Secre-
tary Hay.

AGENTS CHEAT
BOYS IN BLUE
Act as Dummies" for Sol
diers in Land Rush and
Then Sell Out to Others
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OMAHA, July 2.-The soldier who
wants to make sure of his chance to
register for piece of land in the Rose
bud reservation must personally ap-
pear at one of the registration points.
The reason for this is that as the day
for the opening Of the registration
draws near the demand for dummies"
to represent the soldier, as authorized
by the Presidents proclamation, has
become so strong that the price paid
has advanced from a reasonable fee of
81 to as high as SIS, and in some cases
even higher. The fees have been paid,
with the result that in many cases
dummies" engaged by or for one vet
eran have been switched off, and the
first conner has been betrayed.
According to the Presidents procla-
nation a soldier may delegate an agent
to appear for him by a power of attor-
ney, but that agent can appear for one
soldier only. Early in the game a num-
Der of locating agents at Bonesteel and
other points on the edge of the reser-
vation secured lists of soldiers dunn
miles, Each dummy was paid 81, for
which he was to register for the soldier
and later file on the land drawn.
Several hundred of these dummies
were easily secured in and around
Bonesteel, but more than 1000 aplica-
tions have been received, and it is this
boom in the business which makes the
soldiers registration a matter of con-
siderable doubt. On Friday hangers on
at the dance halls were secured at fee
of 81 so. Saturday other locating agents
purchased the services of the same per-
sons for S.. In the afternoon of the
same day many of them charged a still
larger fee.
Several thousand soldiers will use the
mails to make application to be regis
tered, and as the available supply OF
responsible dummies" is limited to a
few hundred at the most, it will be seen
that the soldier who does not appear in
person is taking a chance.

INTERVENTION DISCUSSED.
Main Topic During the Meeting OF
William and Edward.


BERLIN, July 3-The Nord
Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung, in an
article on King Edwards visit, empha-
hiZes the indirect political value of the
meeting between the King and the
Emperor at Kiel. but denies that any
agreement concerning special ques-
tions was either designed or made.
The National Zeitung assumes that
the war in the Far East was the CEN
trail point of all the discussions. The
paper argues that Great Britain and
Germany are equally interested in the
early restoration of peace; that the
war must injure trade and that the
time must ultimately come when the
Chinese will compel the Government
to participate. Consequently, the Zei-
tung says, no patriotic Englishman
can desire the complete humiliation of
Russia.
The Tageblatt says 1t is informed
that the supreme efforts Of the diplo-
matists who are working quietly
toward the bringing about of inter-
vention between Russia and Japan
will be directed to the prevention of a
division of the powers into two camps,
as occurred a decade ago. 1t is de-
sired that intervention shall be a united
action on the part of all the neutral
great powers and it will be restricted
to a tender of good offices without the
slightest tinge of compulsion. The
chances of such Intervention is con-
sidered to be not at all unfavorable.

BRITAIN ASSISTS RUSSIA.
VIII Protect the Seal Fisheries OFF
Kamchatka.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2.-The
Russian Government has accepted the
offer of Great Britain to police and
protect the seal fisheries of the Kom-
mandor and Copper Islands, off Kam-
chatka. On learning the intention Of
Japanese and British sealers to take
advantage of the present war to de-
vastate the herds on the islands, and
appreciating the difficulty of Russia at
present detailing warships for this
purpose. Great Britain volunteered to
undertake the task, provided the Rus
sian Government would allow British
warships to cruise, coal and take on
board supplies at Kamchatka. Russia
gladly accepted and to-day Informed
the British embassy of its acqui-
escence.
Viceroy Alexieff, who was con-
suited on the subject, has telegraphed
that the British cruisers will be af-
forded every facility at Petropavlovsk
to draw half the stock of coal,
amounting to 1000 tons. The British
ships will exercise the right of search
only in the case of British and Jap
anese vessels.

BATTLE LASTS ALL NIGHT.
KeIIer's Men Oppose Japanese in a
Tortuous Defile.

LIAOYANG. July 2.-The japanese
Guards division. which was engaged
in the attack on Dalin Pass, is retiring
eastward and General Count Keller,
who has been reinforced. is following
up the Japanese.
A correspondent who has Just re-
turned from the headquarters of
Count Keller's corps reports that on
Wednesday a Japanese division ad-
vanced by a tortuous defile about
thirty miles east of Liaoyang. General
Keller had no artillery posted, but had
stationed three battalions Of infantry
along a crest commanding the pass.
An obstinate fight followed and lasted
the whole night. The Russians lost
fifty men and the Japanese casualties
were larger. On Thursday morning
General Keller retired successfully,
withdrawing his men from the narrow
dehles.
A complete change OF plans was dis
played by the japanese on Friday in
retiring upon Hoichan. General
Keller in the meantime had been re-
inforced by artillery and he harassed
the japanese rear. Owing to the heavy
rains the movements of the guns and
transport wagons were exceedingly
difficult.
1t is believed the Japanese lost an
opportunity for attacking Liaoyang or
cutting the Russian lines of communi-
cation. The rains render it imperative
TO suspend operations.
