SHIPPING AT A sTANDsTlLL.
Deadlock Between, Lake Carriers
and Pilots.

Cleveland. o., April 29.-After weeks
OF conference between the lake car
riers' association and the advisory
board of the masters and pilots asso-
citation, matters are still at deadlock
and until a settlement can be reached
shipping on the great lakes must re-
tnaia II q stamdst;li. The executive
committee of the owners organization
reported last night In substance that
the masters and pilots still fnsdst that
each master should have nine months
pay whether he worked the whole nine
months or only one month. regardless
of whether he had been employed at
any other vocation during the period
that the boat was not in commission,
and any master not notified prior to
January Is that his services would not
be required. would consider himself
engaged for the ensuing season in the
same line and on same boat. and could
not be changed or transferred unless
he be given better boat. Also that
no master could be discharged
without II being referred to the arbi-
tration board to be selected from the
owners or agents and the directors OF
the masters and pilots association.
Yet the master reserved the right to
discharge all OF the men under his
jurisdiction and control aboard the
boat with or without cause as he may
elect. AS there was no question OF
wages involved while the boats were in
comn,i ssion the owners present at the
meeting unanimously voted that they
would not pay for services not render
ed. and further. that as as the masters
We're the direct representatives Of the
owner of the vessel and responsible to
the owner for its operation, they must
reserve to themselves the rights to
hire the masters and discharge them
for incompetency or when their services
were not satisfactory to them. The
general meeting Of the carriers asso-
citation has indorsed this stand.

RUSSIANS FAIL TO DISCOVER
WHERE JAP'S CRUISERS ARE

st. Petersburg, March 3.-In a dis
patch to the. czar, Niceroy AleXieff
says:
Admiral Stark, telegraThing from
Port Arthur March ., says the enemy
did not appear off Port Arthur on
either February 2s, February % or
March l. Reconnaissance made by
cruisers and torpedo boats over a
radius of 60 miles from Port Arthur
also failed to discover the enemy's
vessels
Maj. Gen. Plug. Viceroy Alexieff's
chief of staff sends in the following
telegram, dated March ..
according to additional informa-
ton which has reached me, our pa
trolls, having passed the night eight
miles from Ping Yang, approached
that town on the morning of Febru-
airy 20. They were closely pressing a
Japanese patrol of seven officers.
Lieut.. Lonchakof attacked this pa
troll with three Cossacks, forcing it
to retreat at a gallop towards the
gates of the town.
The presence of our patrols near
Ping Yang caused great alarm and
soon the cnemy's sharpshooters man
ned the wall and towers and opened
fire, expecting an attack. According
to the report, our patrols approached
within 700 PAGES of the town, which
they found to be surrounded by both
old and new ramparts. These, how
ever, were not yet occupied by the
enemy, and it is supposed that the
japanese have not more than 1000
men in Ping Yang"
London, March 3.-From Yin-Kow

Chwang.) There was severe fighting,
and both sides lost heavily. This re-
port Is discredited at Yin-Kow, bus
II it is true it indicates that serious
danger is confronting Russia
According to the Daily Mails ac-
count of this affair, six Japanese
found among tile bandits were killed
