BRITAINS READ WITH PROTEST
Don't Like Comedians Hold-up-In-
curry Being Made.

London, Aug. 24.-The British for-
eign office has not yet been able to
establish the Identity Of the Russian
cruiser which recently examined the.
peaprs Of the British steamer Corn-i
edian off the southeast coast of Cape
Colony.
Great Britain is unable to act as de-j
terminedly as it is asserted at the forsi
eign office she would be entitled to!
of the fact was definitely established
that the vessel was the Srnolensk.
There is no reason to believe that
Ambassador Hardinge will make I'M
quiries at st. Petersburg and he may
even go so far as to express the hope
that neither the Smolensk nor the ST.
Petersburg Is continuing the examin-
alton Of neutral vessel contrary to the
assurances given by Russia.
In any event, it is said, the ambassa--
dor will enter fresh protest against
the examination Of a neutral ship at
a point SO distant from the scene OF
hostilities.

conductor and motorman Of the west
bound car disobeyed orders and at
tempted to "steaP' a switch with dis
astrous results. The collision happened
at a curve in the road while both
cars were going at high rate OF
speed. Failing glass and splinters
were responsible for many Of the
wounds. The shock of the collision

nation of undoubtable authenticity
states that the Japanese armored
cruisers Nisshin and Kasuga have
bombarded and silenced the Russian

The forts referred to are probably

have succeeded in occupying. An-tse-

to point near Chao-chan-ko. This
news confirms information received
here previously and which the local
Japanese were not inclined to believe.
The junk heard firing until midnight
of Aug. 22. Scarcely a building in Port
Arthur remains unchanged. The
town hall, which was used as maya
zine, has been destroyed.
Four large warships unable to fight
are at Port Arthur. Only one ship,
a vessel with two masts and two fun
nels, has guns on board.
The fire Of the forts not captured
by the Japanese, together with the
effect Of land mines, is given as the
reason why the Japanese have not yet
captured the Russian stronghold.

FENCES
IN GOOD ORDER
Speaker Cannon Says Parker S
Speech Turned Votes to
Roosevelt.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Speaker Cannon
was in consultation today with the
leaders at republican headquarters.
Speaking Of the political outlook he
said:
IT have just spent two weeks in the
eastern states, and while I would not
assume to pass upon the situation
district, I will say that, 50 far as
could gather from my conversation
with leading men Of both parties, the
trend of feeling since Parker's nomi-
nation, and especially since his speech
Of acceptance, is towards the repub-
lican ticket. Our main effort will be
to get the vote out. In Vermont, for
instance, the only question is whether
the majority will be 100000 or IS, 000."
In reply to question as to- the >rea-
son for his reference to Judge Par
ker's speech, Mr.. Cannon said:
cit was Intended to be all things to
all men, and, like all efforts Of that
kind, it proved to be nothing to any
man."
Yes he added, t'the outlook is Ia
vorable; the republican fences are all
in good order, there are no rails
down and the fences are staked and
ridered and in shape to add a couple
of barbed wires if necessary"
'How about the outlook for the
house Of representatives? 2"
The indications are for a closer
vote there than on the electoral tick
ct, but there is no danger there if
we only get the vote out"
He expressed the opinion that the
labor complications would not affect
the situation.
'It is only question Of a division
Of the profits" he said, "and every
body knows that no such question
could have possible authorization un-
der the last democratic administra-
ton, for there were no profits"

WHEAT DROPS
WITH A THUD
Bottom Knocked Out of the
Bulge-The Bulls Lose
Heavily.
a STATISTICAL ToRoeeAN

Wheat went down today like 200
pound man stepping out Of a balloon.
Prices fell so fast that brokers having
stop-loss orders to execute at fixed
points could not make good on them
and sold out lower in many instances.
It was slaughter in the pit-the
predicted day Of reckoning for
the bulls had come at last.
The bears, jubilant to the point of
ecstaCy, were yet wonderfully self-con-
trolled and undemonstrative, but here
and there a broad, smiling face and
an occasional grunt Of satisfaction
told where stood a lucky one, drink
ing in the pit scene with all-absorbing
eyes. They saw the frantic efforts Of
the longs to unload, while September
sank to $1.06A, which was 1910 I'M
der the high point of Saturday last.
Why 1t Tumbled.
Over Sunday it was as tho someone
had sawed away main support and
allowed one end-the September end
to sag, weakening the market in some
degree all around. Yesterday the
north prop, resting upon foundation
of calamitous Canadian northwest
news, was weakened at the base. To-
day the foreign prop gave way, for in
the face Of the seizure of the British
steamer Comedian by the Russians,
and the expected boom in Liverpool,
close.
:. Only one big support stood intact
the frost probability. At 9 o'clock
temperatures were rising and it was
81 degrees above at Winnipeg. The
frost prop cracked a little around the
top and bulged in the center, q multi
tude of belated countrymen still hold
ing wheat for $3.50 a. bushel, got
scared and sold out. Orders to sell
came upon the market like rain and
when once the sag began, the crack Of
the little stop-loss orders was like hail
beating upon the panes of a green
house.
A half dozen big stop-loss orders
were uncovered, and at II o'clock the
entire market fell into the hole.
Chance for the Bears.
What will the market do? No one
dares venture prediction but that it
may go much lower is admitted by all.
The bulls have had a long time Of it,
but the turn is on and the bears have
made a successful assault and have
got the smell Of blood. The market,
weakened by repeated declines, is in
position where no one dares buy. Any
powerful combination Of bears ope-
rating now might work havoc with it.
ct do not pretend to say what wheat
will do said a miller this morning,
'but legitimately speaking, prices are
too high. Two cents a pound has
been the cost of our raw material and
the finished product has not been on
price basis to correspond We fol-
lowed the wheat rise with advances
on high-grade flour and with Septem-
Der wheat around $1.23; patent dours
were quoted $3.50 to $500, so that
we were all right there. But people
forget that Of every bushel Of wheat
ground % per cent goes into low
grade -four and % per cent is feed,
and these prices have not followed.
Speculation may do anything with
wheat, but we cannot sell flour and
run the mills while we are zoe a
busllel out Of line as is still the case -

"BLACK HAND IN
NEW YORK MURDER
Youth Shot to Death as Ven
geance of Alleged
8. Society.

New Morik, Aug. 24.-Salvatore Bos-
soto, 18 years old, was shot to death
in his fathers restaurant in Park
street by Carlo Rossati, 35 years old,
today, because he had disclosed to the
police secrets Of the alleged "Black
Hand"
The father was knocked down and
choked into insensibility by the slayer,
who then ran down the street, fol-
lowed by a great mob.
Italians to the number of 1000 later
attacked the Elizabeth street police
station, hurting missiles at the police
and prisoner, and hurting two detec-
tives and one policeman.
They would have torn the murderer
limb from limb had it not been for
the arrival Of reserve police, who were
forced to use clubs and fists and
threaten to shoot.
According to the police the murder
was deliberately planned by an organ
lied gang, which is said to have sent
to Toronto for Rossati, who arrived,
here last night. After his arrival he
was seen about Mulberry Bend with
the Italians, and because Of his i'm
mense stature attracted attention.
Bossoto is an enemy Of these organ
lied gangs, and his son inherited the
fathers opposition to the lawless ele-
ment Of their countrymen. When not
studying music, young Bossoto helped
Several weeks ago he learned that
the murdereIs about Mulberry Bend
had planned to rob a number Of
miners who were coming thru New
York and who had engaged board in
the lodginghouse over the Bossoto
restaurant. Young Bossoto went to
| the police and asked protection for
the men, and soon an Italian detec-
| tive had arrested twelve suspicious
characters who were held until the
miners had taken a ship for their
homes. Once out of Jail, it is said,
the gang determined upon Bossoto's
| death.
Early today Rossati entered the res
taurant, and when approached by the
/ elder Bossoto, said he wanted moth
ing. AS 2Bossoto was about to close
| the place he asked Rossati to leave.
| The latter became insolent and re-
fused.
Young Bossoto, who was in the

sau then, according to the police

BAT-LlkE FISH CAPTURED.
Eagle Ray, Resembling Large Bird, Is Caught Of Florida Coast
 Weighs 45O Pounds.

A remarkable fish was recently caught off the coast of Miami. Fla. It belongs to the sting ray family, and is called an eagle ray, perhaps from the resemblance to large bird or bat. It Is also called the whip ray, from & long, whiplike tail.
 IL is the first of the kind ever caught on the Florida coast, and was an ob- ject of interest to a great crowd of sigthseers that congregate in the after moons at the docks to watch the com ing of the fishermen. It weighed 450 pounds, and was caught with 8 largo hook on rope It had heavy, thick skin, white or the under side, while on the back were mottled CT leopard-like spots, gray and white. The head was rot unlike an animals, with great mouth and large eyes like an OK. 1t had a long, slender ratlikc tail, seven feet in length, that cracked through the air like a whip when 1t was caught.
 The fish, when spread out, was some thing like bat in appearance, and measured nearly six feet across. The tail was sharply barbed for six inches from the end.
