SEIZURE OF ASPHALT MINES
MINISTER BOWEN FILES STRONG
PROTEST AGAINST ACTION
OF VENEZUELA.

washington, Aug. 6.-Minister Bow
en- has cabled the state departmen
that he has lodged a strong protest
with President Castro against the &C.
tion of the government in seiZing the
asphalt mines belonging to the New
York and BermudeZ company. The
receiver of the government is said to
be supported by two Venezuelan war
ships in his occupation Of the cO11-
pany's property.
Through unofficial sources it is
learned that President Castro's action
in the matter of the asphalt company
has been long considered. 1t is init
mated that when in the midst of his
last desperate struggle with the rebels
Castro made promises to certain per
sons and corporations in return for
their support financially in that con
test These promises were said to in
vOlve the transfer to these people Of
concessions at that time in the pos
session Of foreign corporations. Cas-
tro is said to be South American
who has never violated a promise and
the present proceedings relative to the
asphalt mines are, it is limited, an out
growth of one of these promises.
1t is doubted whether Mr.. Bowen s
protest will be effective at this stage
but the state department is not dis
posed TO move in a hurry and is await
ing the arrival by mail of the detailed
reports made by Mr.. Bowen before
proceeding further. 1t must be made
quite clear that there has been mis-
carriage of justice in the Venezuelan
supreme court before a demand is
made upon Castro for indemnity for
the losses suffered by the New York
and Bermudez Asphalt company.

ALLEGED CHICAGO PACKERS ARE
IMPORTING FOREIGN LABOR.
ERs UNDER CONTRACT.
GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE SOME ACTION
AGENT OF LABOR BUREAU SAID
TO BE ON THE SCENE MAX
ING INVESTIGATION.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-That the federal
government is preparing to take an
active part in the stock yards strike
was indicated during the day when
International Secretary Call of the
butcher Wcrkmen divulged the fact
that he has been in conference with
an emissary of the United States hu-
reau Of commerce and labor. Who
this agent is or what his immediate
plans Mr.. Call refused to say, but the
strike leader madesthis significant re-
mark:
''In everything the packing trust is
doing they are violating the law. Their
very business combination is in re-
straint of trade and there is not one
of them that is not amenable to the
federal laws. A sample Of their opera
tions came to my knowledge after
stories had been printed in the news
papers telling of the Importation of
immigrants from foreign lands to take
the place of American workingmen
who are on strike. One of our piekets
found in the street all immigrants re-
ceipt showing that the immigrant had
been paid $3.50 for passage to Chi
cago. On the bottom Of the printed
slip was the sentence:
I'VE hereby agree to rebate to the
bearer $5S.7O on presentation OF this
receipt at our Chicago Office.

cial OF the United States bureau Of
labor and commerce and inadvertently

ACT OF RETALIATION.
Strikers Start Run on Savings Bank
at Stock Yards.


at Stock Yards.
Chicago, Aug. 6.-Hundreds of strik.
ers and others during the day thronged
to the Drovers' Trust and Savings
bank near the main entrance Of the
stock yards and withdrew deposits
whether large or small. The unusual
scene attracted a large crowd, set all
manner of rumOrS in circulation and
created a general run on the institu-
ton.
The strikers action was taken in re-
taliatiOn for the alleged action of one
of the packing firms, Libbey, Mcneil
& Libbey, in making the bank an ad-
junct 20 their pay department. On
Wednesday, it is said, Edward Tilden,
director of the company, led strike
breakers to the bank in order that
they might be paid in cash instead
of having to experience the embarrass-
ments growing out of the packers sys-
tenn of paying in checks.
Long before the bank opened rumors
were in circulation that the strikers
would start run on the institution
in retaliation and when the hour for
the crucial test came the strikers
were far outnumbered by apprehensive
persons having no interest in the labo1
controversy, yet all anxious to secure
their money. A double line extending
into the street greeted the bank Off
cials. Without protest or explanation
the officials doubled the force of pay
ing tellers and met all Withdrawals
demanded.
The Drovers' Trust and Savings
bank is located in the same bllildino
with the Drovers' Deposit National
bank, it's local correspondent. It's cap
ital is 100000 and it's surplus and
profits are named at 100000 1t has a

SULTAN AGAIN FAILS TO Full

Washington, Aug. e. Minister
partment from Constantinople that
he has failed to rec4ve the expected
satisfactory reply from the sultan
touching the rights of American citi-
Zens in Turkey. While the negotia-
tions will continue it is possible that
the American battleship fleet will be
detained at Gibraltar to strengthen
the minister's hand in the conduct of
these negotiations.
Secretary Hays return to the city
from his summer home was signalized
by consideration at the days cabinet
meeting of important matters concern
ing Americas foreign relations. The
secretary had not completed his vaca-
ton but returned to Washington at
this time on account of the develop.
ments in this country's relations with
Turkey. The whole question was con-
sidered by the president and his cab
met in the light of information re-
ceived by cable from Minister Lelsh-
man at Constantinople. This govern
ment has been pressing the porte for
an answer to our representations. The
Sultan Promised an Answer

did not receive it. He was put off
until Thursday He was promised
then an answer from the sultan him.
self as to the rights of Americans to
establish schools and other educational
institutions in the Turkish empire.
Such RIGHTS have haan accorded the
other nations, but have been withheld
from America. Secretary Hay laid be-
fore the president and the cabinet a
cablegram he had just received from
Minister Leishman to the effect that
he had not been able to obtain sat
isfactory answer to his representa-
tiOnS.
That this government is annoyed at
the procrastination Of the porte and at
what seems to be a studied effort on
the part of the sultan to dilly-dally
with the American representations
there is no attempt to conceal. Sec
retary Hay declined, however, as he
left the cabinet meeting to say what,
if any, decision had been reached.
Secretary Morton's replies to similar
inquiries indicated the probability of
important action by his department
bearing on the Turkish question. It
is known that proposition has been
made to hold the American battleship
squadron at Gibraltar instead of hav-
ing it return at once to this country.
At Gibraltar the squadron would be
available for any service the govern
ment might determine to have it per-

JAPs INDIGNANT AT RUSSIANS.
Claim SIav Government Is Violating
The Hacue Rules

London, Aug. 6.-The correspondent
of the Times at Toxic says that much
Indignation is felt there because of
Russia's persistent neglect to comply
with the rules of The Hague conven-
ton in supplying information regard
ing prisoners. Despite frequent in
quiries about the prisoners taken in
the third attempt to seal Port Arthur,
the Russians, the correspondent says,
maintain complete silence, which can
not be due to the lack of means of
communication, because the Russian
government has just requested Japan
to recognize two additional hospital
ships at Port Arthur.

CONDUCTORS IN CONSPIRACY.
Chicago-St. Louis Lines Said to Be Out
100000.


Chicago, Aug. 6.-Chicago-St. Louis
lines have just discovered that con-
ductors on various roads and certain
scalpers of Chicago and st. Louis have
been engaged in conspiracy to de-
fraud the railroads through the
manipulation of exposition tickets. 1t
is declared that instead of taking up
return coupons and turning them into
the company conductors have been
selling them to scalpers.
In many instances, when tickets to
st. Louis and return were presented,
conductors are said to have taken up
the whole ticket, giving the passenger
return coupon that already had been
used.
1t is estimated that in this manner
Chicago-St. Louis roads have been de-
frauded out of 100000.

heavy rain is soon forthcoming con-
siderable loss of stock will ensue. The
Northern Montana ranches in many To-

PROVES VERY SUCCESSFUL.
First Experiment With Wireless Teleg-
raphy on Lake Superior.


Duluth, Aug. 6.-The first expert
ments with wireless telegraphy on
Lake Superior were made during the
day when the great freight steamer
Augustus B. Wolvin, bound for Duluth
with cargo Of coal, communicated
with a temporary wireless station in
stalled on the Board of Trade building
The communication was over the en-
tire length of Lake Superior, a dis
tance of 420 miles. A permanent sta
tion will be established here on top of
the Wolyin building. It is expected
that the wireless system will soon be
in general use on boats in the Lake
Superior trade. The advantages of
the service are obvious
Wireless stations will be established
at Sault Ste. Marie and on Keweenaw
point, as well as in Duluth.

Ordered to Turkish Waters,


pean squadron has been ordered to
Turkish waters. It's Discrimination is
Smyrna, three hundred miles from
Constantinople.
st. Petersburg, Aug 6.-There has
been no further fighting Of any impOI-
tance since Aug. |, according to tire
latest reports received by the war
office. In the opinion of the general
staff both sides need a rest after fight
ing three days in the terrible heat and
the officials here are inclined to be,
lieve that the Japanese will not be
able to resume their advance for sew,
eral days.
Detailed reports reaching the war
office from General Kuropatkin's gen
erals show that the Russian losses
July 80, 81 and Aug. l did not exceed
1000. The Japanese are believed to
have lost at least an equal number.
From a comprehensive review Of the
fighting obtained by the Associated
Press it appears that most Of the Rus
sian losses were sustained on the Sai-
matsza road and between SimOucho1g
and Haicheng. The two divisions OF
the late General Keller's corps did not
make a serious resistance at the
Yangse pass, falling back on Liandis.l-
sian with scarcely any casualties. Sim
ilarly General Stakeiberg's and Gen
eral ZarOubaieff's troops retired upon
Anshanshan, half way between Hal
cheng and Liaoyang, without heavy
fighting or loss. The greatest number
of casualties was sustained by Genel4l
Herschelmann, who, with the Ninth
European division, held Kuchiaczu
and Yushu pass, on the SaimatsZa
road. The fighting there was OF the
most desperate and bloody character.
A single regiment lost rs per cent, or
800 men, before they withdrew to.

RUSSIAN TROOPS DIsGUsTED,.
See No Reason for Continual Orders
to Retreat

st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-The temper
of the Russian troops in view of the
continued retreats is perhaps accu-
rately reflected by the following brief
message sent by one of the Associated
Press Russian correspondents from
Liaoyang:
"The orders to evacuate Haicheng
are condemned by many. 1t is heart
breaking to be constantly falling back,
but there must be an end to this re-
trograde movement A little more pa
tience. To advance only requires man
