The MARYLAND LEADER RELUCTANT

New York, July Ex-senator German,
as result of the conference of the die
tinguished Democrats who have been
meeting here last night and today, has
been asked to become chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. With
great reluctance he has taken the request
under consideration, but it seems certain
that he will decline. William F. Sheehan
is the next choice, but be also may not
accept, chiefly because he regards his
health as unequal to the strain.
Should neither Senator German nor Mr..
Sheehan accept the craftsmanship, the
opinion is quite uncertain as to who may
be chosen. Judge Parker has declined
to say who should be chairman, preferring
to leave the matter entirely with his ad-
visers and the National Democratic Com
mittee.

President Receives Committee

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July l9.-President
Roosevelt today received the committee
appointed last Sunday by the convention
of the coal miners and allied crafts at
Wilkesbarre. The mission of the COM
mittee was to present personally to the
president petition asking for an investl-
CATION of the labor troubles in Colorado
with view, if possible, Of remedyirg the
conditions now existing. The committee
met the president at Sycamore Hill to-
night.
They passed half an hour with Mr..
Roosevelt in his library.
The petition was laid before the presi-
dent. He read it carefully, and then in
formed the committee that he would be
glad to do anything he properly and leg
ally could do to ameliorate the conditions
existing in the state of Colorado He in
dicated that investigation Of the labor
troubles in that state is now being made
by agents OF the department OF commerce
and labor. Thus far the situation had
not been such as would warrant interfer'
ence by the Federal government.
Following the presentation of the pc
tition the president talked with his callers
on subject of mutual interest. The talk
developed the fact that Henry Herzovits
member of the committee had fought
with President Roosevelt in Cuba. After
exchanging some "reminiscences of the wal
with him, the president gave Mr.. Her.
zoyits an autograph card bearing the
following inscription.
ITO Comrade Henry Herzovits, with the
good wishes OF Theodore Roosevelt, July
10, 1904"
The members of the committee express
pleasure at the result of their visit

Michigan Democratic Chairman BOltS
Parker.

Jackson, Mich, July H.-Thomas E.
Barkworth, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, announces that
be has decided to take no further action
as State chairman, and would not attend
the committee meetings preliminary to
the State convention. Mr.. Barkworth
characterizes Judge Parker's telegram to
the st. Louis convention as an affront to
the Bryan Democrats. He expresses the
belief that he would stultify himself by
acting as State chairman when he is not
in accord with the predomiuating influence
in the party in both State and nation.

St. Petersburg, July 19.-Germany has
called attention to the seizure Of the mails
on board the Pripz Heinrich in the Red
Sea July Is, by the Smolensk, and has re-
quested explanations These have not yet
been given, the report of the commander
of the Smolensk not having yet arrived.
The restoration of mails yesterday was
made without instructions from st. Peters
burg. Russia having declared Communi-
cations intended for the japanese to be
contraband of war maintains the right to
examine such mail but does not contend
for the right to take general mail ad-
dressed to japan and unless peculiar cir
cumstances justified the seizure of the
mails on board the Prinz Heinrich the
act will be disavowed.

NEUTRAL SHIPS IN RED SEA SEIZED
England Sends Powerful Fleet to Scene and
Germany Also PrOteSts-Franee, Aus
tria and Italy Will Be Forced
Into EmbrOgliO.

London, July 19.-All Europe is on the
verge of war, the inevitable result that
will follow persistence in stopping and
seizing ships in the Red Sea by Russian
volunteer cruisers.
The danger is recognized in every Euro
pean capital, and many see in Russia's
course deep laid plan of the car to force
Europe to aid in ending the war with
japan and thus avert the evils Of a war
near home.
The feeling aroused by the seizures
made by vessels suddenly changed from
merchantmen to armed cruisers is shown
by the open denunciation Of the Russians
as pirates.
1t is certain that Lpgland and Germany
will not recognize the right of such and
seizures of their vessels will be resented.
Should they act treaties and alliances will
force France, Austria and Italy into the
embroglio. England has already ordered
her powerful Mediterranean squadron to
the Red Sea and has also ordered the
mobilization of her home fleets. The
British steamship Malachi, which was
seized by Russian volunteer cruis.- in
the Red Sea, has reached Suez as Rus
sian prize of war. The British ship upon
her arrival at Suez was flying the Russian
flag and was manned by Russian crew.
Turkey has allowed two more Russian
volunteer cruisers to pass the Dardanells.
The English feet goes to Alexandria
from Malta. 1t consists Of eighteen war
ships, sJme of them the most powerful in
the British navy.
