a English Loan.

London, Nov. 15.-The subscription
list for the new Japanese loan Will be
close at noon today, being already
oversubscribed several times, though
it is said applications have been moth
ing like the previous issue.
Judging from Toxic dispatches and
statements by Japanese here the ques-
ton of the Russian second Pacific
squadron is giving rise to some un-
easiness in Japan. This condition is
the outcome of the continued absence
of news of the progress of the siege
of Port Arthur.
An article in the Morning Post
from Japanese sources comments very
strongly upon alleged breaches OF
neutrality on the part of France and
Germany in giving the squadron coal
ing facilities, and also contends that
it will be utterly at variance with Suez
canal regulations for the ships of the
squadron to be permitted to take suf-
ficient coal and provisions at Port
Said to carry them to the nearest port.
The article suggests that Great Brit
ain will interfere to prevent the grant
ing of such facilities.

MANY OFFICERS AND MEN OF
THE FLEET INTOXICATED.
YOUNG L|EUTENANT'S STORY
Inside Information About the North
Sea Break Of Admiral Rojest-
vensky.

Minneapolis, Nov. 15.-Horrible In
detail and appalling in it's disclosure
of incompetency, stupidity and drunk
enness in the Russian navy is the ac-
count of the recent sinking OF the
English fishing boats by the Baltic
fleet, received indirectly from an in
side source by A. r. L. Dent of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce.
When the Russian fleet reached
Cherbourg, a young lieutenant wrote
a letter to his father, a wealthy St.
Petersburg merchant, describing the
affair. This was shown to the Rus
sian correspondent of the Manchester
(England) Guardian, who sent a lit
eral translation to his paper. The
Guardian printed it, but first elimi-
mated such details as might be most
offensive to Russia. A friend of Mr..
Dent saw the original translation and
sent the gist of it to him in a letter
received yesterday. From the letter
there can be little doubt that the men
of the Baltic fleet we're drunk and
scarcely knew what they were about.
The letter reads as follows:
I'VE knew we were out of our
course and were afraid we would run
aground somewhere. OF the crews-
officers and men-many, I regret to
say, were intoxicated. An alarm was
given that the admiral's flagship had
grounded and in the confusion that
followed this report three vessels OF
the rear squadron collided. While all
was confusion we came across what
looked like al flotilla of torpedo boats,
and W. opened fire. Later in the night
there was an exchange of shots be-
tween our vessel and another, and it
was only when we recognized from a
small shell that came aboard but did
not explode that the ammunition was
Russian, that We discovered that we
had been firing upon one another. We
had several men wounded. At Cher
burg they told us we had sunk Eng
fish fishing boats and killed many. 1t
is a horrible business, a most unfor-
tunate affair.""

will be very slow. After 10 years the
receipts will be very large and they
may be r%einvested in new improve
ments. In the meantime the aid Of
the government should be invoked.
Sufficient has already been accom-
plished to arouse a national interest.
Whatever benefits one section of this
republic cannot fail to benefit the
whole country, and this scheme is not
a sectional one, as the welfare of more
than one-half of it's entire area is in
volved, and the indirect benefit to the
national prosperity of the country is
i~ncalculable. The east may depend
upon the west for it's food supplies and
likewise for a market for it's manufac-
tured products. This is the kind OF
reciprocity that enriches the country

To
Democrats Claim 1900 Majority-Re-
pubIicans Charge Fraud.

Denver, Nov. 15.--The official can
vass of the votes cast last Tuesday
is in progress and has been completed
in all but a few counties. Revision
of the unofficial returns leaves Alva
Adams majority over James H. Pea
body for governor not less than 10, 900,
as previously announced.
I'VE consider Governor Peabody's
threat to contest the election a mere
bluff" said Democratic Chairman Mil
ton Smith today, "but we are watching
everything.
II estimate that Adams plurality
will be 1900. Our returns show that
he carried Denver by 5,1OO, and the
rest of the state by as much more.
The official count in the counties
where it had been completed gives
Adams a gain. If this gain continues
as the official count in the rest of the
counties takes place Adams will have
a plurality of 11,O0O."
Chairman D. B. Farley of the re-
publican state central committee said
last night:
when our returns are all in I esti-
mate that Governor Peabody will be
but a trifle over 500 behind. He has
cut down the majority against him
greatly during the last few days. We
intend having all the fraudulent votes
thrown out and this will show Pea
body has been elected by a large ma
jortiy."
Both parties are collecting evidence
of election frauds. 1t is proposed by
the democrats to summon special

ANOTHER BUTTE HoLDuP.
Masked Men Get $1e5.5o at the Copper
State at an Early Hour.

Butte, Nov. 15.-The Copper State
saloon, at the corner of Aluminium and
Arizona streets, was held up at 5
o'clock this morning and $195.5O to-
gether with a gold watch secured. The
saloon is conducted by Good & Nc
Elroy, and at the time of the holdup
Mr.. Good was in charge.
1t was just 5 o'clock when three
men wearing masks entered the place
and commanded Good at the point OF
an ugly looking gun to hold up his
hands. Good was alone and readily
realized he had nothing else to do but
obey the order of his visitors. While
one man covered Good the other two
went through the till and secured
$62.5O.
The safe was next visited and in it
was found 1925, the property of a Mr..
Bates, who conducts a poker game in
a back room of the establishment.
This work completed, the men turned
their attention to MI. Goods pockets,
getting some 50 in cash and a gold
watch.
After completing the work the rob.
bers retired as quietly as they entered,
first warning Good not to give any
alarm until they got out of the way,
otherwise they would use their guns.
Mr.. Good cannot give any accurate
description of the three men, except
they were men about six feet in height
an dwore black clothes. He is not
even satisfied that more than two OF
the men wore masks, so excited was
he during the ceremony of the tapping
of the till and the safe and the empty
ing of his pockets.
Detectives Byrne and White visited
the saloon this morning and got what
information they could about the at
fair, but there lis very little on which
to work.

AMERICAN
Unions Cautioned to Be Conservative
in Use Of Boycott.

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-The
American Federation of Labor was
called to order by President Gompers
at 9 o'clock. Upon the presentation
and reading of the committee report
on rules and order of business, the
delegates voted against a proposition
to make the two Saturdays falling
during the fortnight session half holt
days.
First Vice President James Duncan
read the report of the executive coun-
Gil. The portion of this which created
the greatest interest was that relating
to trade autonomy.
Jurisdiction.
"A long list of displtes relative to
trade jurisdiction was cited and the
merits of the contentious gone into.
The committee decided that unless
the Chicago Federation of Labor and
the central bodies in Indiana and
Washington complied with the de-
mands and constitution of the Fedora
ton of Labor before the expiration
of the present session, that the char
tiers of these organizations wound be
permanently revoked.
Another central labor body which
came in for censure of the executive
council was that at New Orleans. The
latter organization %boycotted a union
label paper of the city because of an
expression of opinion on the part OF
the editor. This was styled by the
council as a violation of a free press
and a fundamental principle of union
ism, and the New Orleans body was
given 80 days in which to remove the
boycott or the alternative of having
it's charter revoked.
Unions were cautioned to be more
conservative in their actions relative
to 1lacing firms on the unfair list. 1t
was recommended that such cases be
referred to the federation, which
would thoroughly investigate and only
as a last resort rely Upon the boy
colt.
The situation in Colorado was re-
ferred to as shocking, and a determin-
alton expressed to aid the Western
Federation of Miners, both morally
and financially, in the effort to have
the matter brought before the highest
court in the land for final adjudica-
ton.
The report concludes by urging all
union men to work persistently to the
end that an anti-injunction bill and
other laws might be passed by con-
gress.
Gompers Reads Address.
The afternoon session was opened
with the reading by President Samuel
Gompers of his annual address. When
President Gompers finished his effort
was greeted by prolonged cheers.
Secretary Frank Morrison then read
his annual report.
The reading of this report was fol
lowed by that of Treasurer John B.
Lennon.
Last night a mass meeting was held
at the Alhambra theatre, which was
addressed by w. D. Mahon, president
of the A~malgamated Association OF
Street Railway Employees; J. F. Davis,
former mayor of Oaklond; P. H. Nc
Carthy and C. E. Smith. The speakers
discussed the subject of cooperation
and trade unionism.
