ELECTION WILL SETTLE II
The Condition Upon Which the Smus-
 eler Union Will Resume.

Central City, Colo. July 1.-Captain Bulkeley Wells, general manager of the Smuggler Union Mining company, in a. statement tonight has the fol- lowing to say in regard to the clos ing action of the directors of the Smuggler property in disccntinuing op- erations in the mines and mills, made necessary by the inability of the man. agement to procure sufficient thorough ly competent miners to man the mines fully: "The fear of a repetition of the riot and murderous assaults upon the non-union men perpetrated by mem bers of the local union during the last explosion of the Vindicator mine and at the Independence station in the Cripple Creek district has sufficed to deter from returning to the Telluride district most of the miners who were formerly heIe employed, and new men from entering the district.
 "As far as the Telluride district is concerned, the struggle against the rule or ruin policy of the Western Fed eration of Miners has been won. If at the fall election the people declare that the type of socialism which means anarchy shall no longer attempt to paralyze the industries of the state, the Smuggier Union mine will resume opera tions. If they do not so record their vote, the Smuggler Union will re- main closed indfienitely.''

The Russian and Japanese Armies Narrowly Watching Each Other--St. Petersburg Again Sends Out Word of Warning to PeacemaherS.

St. Petersburg. July 1-There wGs considerable rejoicing in the Russian capital at today's reports from the the ater of war. From headquarters at Mukden came a positive statement, made apparently on direct news from Port Arthur anc probably brought by the torpedo boat, Lieutenant Kurkoff to New Chwang, that none of the big Russian war ships sustained any dam age during the Japanese torpedo boat attack of June 23, and June 24. Also came the report that the Japanese lost a thousand men in a land fight before Port Arthur.
 From Liao Yang came two Seperate reports that Major General Mistchenko had dealt the Japanese advance from Siuyen a severe bhow by recapturing Dalin Pass, which was lost on June 2T. One of these reports, dated yesterday. says that General Mistchenko has been indicting loss on the Japanese for ssv- eral days, capturing three guns and an ammunition train. Not any of these reports are official.
 The statement of war corres- pondent that Russian officeC told him he wold rather fall a victim to Japanese bullets than Je wsurgeons. had created considerable indignation here, the Ne voesti denouncing it as vile and gra- tuitous calumny, citing the exploits of two Jew surgeons, Dr. Bebraman, wtio according to official reports. bandsged 600 wounded men on the battlefield and the case of Dr. Banyash, who refused to leave the field although under a hail of bullets.
 Testimony from the front shows that the rainy season has set in in southern Marchuria, which may bring military operations to close without an en- GagSment.

The Annual Removal of the
 Scalp of Harvard
IT WAS VERY EASILY DONE
Yale Lost the Varsity Fours by an Accident, hut the Great Event of the Year Was Won Easily-History of the Annual Contest.

New London, Conn, July 1.-Yala from Harvard today and crowned the year that has been replete with bril- liant athletic achievements Sh,. proved, as she has done many times before, her superiority in everything that goes to make a perfect crew. skin with oars. seamanship and endurance.
 Her vfctory in the varsity race. con sidered with ,her grand battle in the four pared race which she lost through an accident when it looked like walk over, and the winning of her freshmen eight yesterday fn a magnificent strus- gle, makes it fair to say that Yale otit-- classed Harvard.
 The official times of the finish of he three events which now constitute the annual competition including the fresh men of yesterday, were as follows:
 Freshmen eignts two miles: Yais 1O:20 Harvard. 1O:2O 1-2: varsity fours, two miles: Harvard. I2:12: Yale, 12:15; winning distance l 1-2 lengthS.
 Varsity eight, four miles: Yale. 21:4O 1-2; Harvard, 22:1O; winning distance seven lengths.
 The annual competition was begun in 1876. Since then Yale has won eighteen races and Harvard eigh:. Yale's line Of victory has been un- broken for the last four years The best time for the four mile course was made by Yale in 1886. 2O:1O. The firss two races of the series. those of 1875 and 1877, were rowed at Springfield Mass. All the others have been pulled at New London.
 Prior to 1876 there had been four con- tests between the universities, 1852. 1855, 1859 and 1860. These contes' .s were sometimes between eights and sometimes between fours. The cours.. in some of the races was two miles and in others four miles.

CAREFULLY PLAYED GAME.
Neither Kuropatkin Nor Kurol<i i7
 Overlooking Anything.

Liao Yang. July 1.-General Ku:o- patkin and General Kuroki are moving their troops like men on d chess board. The Japanese are now twenty miles from Liao Yang. Rains are iinped- ing their movements. Detachments totalling 1900 men have been detailel from General Rennenkampff's Cossacks to scout the defiles and hills. harrass- ing the Japanese and not allowing them any restday or night. The Japanese artillery is said to be commanded by an American. His tall form is fre- quently seen at the batteries.
 Kurokrs army is extremely active east of the Russian position and the Russians are correspondingly vigilan-. The Russian center is rapidly pushing northward to a point where Kuropatki:l established his base after the battle of Vafangow.
 As far as the Russians know Kuroki is steadily pushing onward through all the mountain passes. even toward Mukden. Preparations at all points are now practically complete. Demon strations made during the last few days against the Russian left flank threaten completely to change the position e the two armies.
 Notwithstanding a four days rain. troops are still moving. Some red cross trains with wounded passed northward on June 30.
 Newspaper correspondents have re- turned to Liao Yang for the south. A press bureau has been established at Liao Yang.

McDonnold was elected superintendent of the grammar schools with a pros pect more or less dim of election to the superintendency of the high school in which case his position would have been the same as it had been the pre- vious year. Then there came dis closure which made Professor McDon- mold impossible and suggestion was made that Professor Cole be elected to the head of the grammar schools. The suggestion was taken up and a peti- ton was presented to the board in his favor and was signed by pretty much all the people of Phoenix who are in- terested in the schools or in the pay ment of taxes.
 The salary of this office, which has just been created, is $1,50O. The sa- lary which Professor McDonnold was to receive was $2,000 That had been his salary as superintendent of all the schools and when the grammar school board entered into a contract with him it regarded him as d $2,0O0 man upon whose services it would be improper to place lower valuation. While the board does not regard Professor Cole as less valuable, the elimination of Professor McDonnold gives the board 8n opportunity to start from new basis in the matter of salary.
 There has been an impression that the superintendent of the grammar schools has no jurisdiction over the eighth grade. That is an error grow ing out of the fact that the superin- tendent of the high schools has under the law supervision of the eighth grade only for the purpose of the promotion of pupils to the high school. The new principal of the grammar schools is Professor Ewing a new man in thIs part of the country but one well re commended for work in the north and east.
 After the arrest of Professor McDon- mold there was some speculation as tu what the board would do in case he should resist cancellation of his con- tract for the next year. It may be said that he never intended to make. such a | resistanlce for soon after his return from San Diego he informed the mem . bers of the board that he would tender his resignation.

SUPERINTENDENT COLE
His Election Yesterday to the Head
 of the Grammar Schools.

Professor J. c. Cole was yesterday elected superintendent of the gram mar schools of Phoenix. There was a meeting of the school board yesterday morning at which Dr. Ancil Martin and Clinton Campbell were present. The board had in it's possession the resig- nation of Professor R. l.. Mcdonald which was submitted about two weeks ago. There had been no subsequent meeting of the board until yesterday.
 Professor Cole has been connected with the schools of Phoenix for six teen years and he is regarded as one of the foremost educators of the terri tory. At the close of the last school year he decided to sever his relations with the city schools and he was elect
 ed to the principalslHp of the schools of Tempe. Soon after that Professor

NO TIME FOR PEACE
Russia Will Tolerate a Medium But
 Not Mediator.

st. Petersburg, July 1.-Dispatches frorl Washington saying that inquiries made by the United States government as to the possibility of mediation show that neither Russia nor Japan is in humor to entertain overtuTes, but that the state department IS ready to offer its services in the interest of media ton whenever it may be acceptable. are attracting considerable attention in government and diplomatic circles. The optimistic opinions attributed to official circles at Washington regard ing the early opening of friendly of fees is net shared in Russia.
 On the contrary, whenever inquiries have been made the opinion has been unanimous that there is nothing in the present situation, so far as Russia is concerned, on which to base an early termination of the war, and that the question of peace will be considered only when direct proposals have been made by Japan. Russia has announced her determination not to tolerate me diation, and this determination seems to be rather strengthened than shaken by the reverses to her arms.
 There can be no mediation the As sociated Press was emphatically in formed, and any proposals looking to peace must come from the Japanese. The United States government might become the medium through which the proposals would be submitted for our consideration, and of course any such proposals would be considered, but Russia is not seeking good offices. and neither the United States nor any other power will be aske'l to act as me diafor n

It Is Looming up on the
 St. Louis Horizon
IT'S A TRIANGULAR FIGHT
Tbe Friends of Cleveland and German Will Endeavor to Scatter the Par Her Strength = It Is Certain That Eastern Influence Will Prevail.

St. Louis, July 1.-Two distinct lines of operation developed today in the preliminary skirmishing of the demo- cratic national convention. One is scheme to rush the nomination of Judge Parker on the first or second ballot and the other is to scatter the vote and prevent an early nomination, with a view of nominating Cleveland or German. The friends of German and Cleveland are working to hold the convention for several ballots in the hope that their candidate may be named. The German men are not parties to the Cleveland movement. nor are the Cleveland advocates com bining with Germans friends. There is no alliance, but it is to the interest of both that the Parker strength be dis integrated as soon as possible.
 Germans position is stated to be that he will not enter into any combi- nation to prevent the nomination of Parker unless it means his own selec- ton. He will not be used to pull out chestnuts for Cleveland.
 It seems now apparent that the con- trol of the party's affairs will pass to the east, no matter who may be the candidate or what may be the plat form.
 Former Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the democratic national committee, arrived in the city today and took apartments at the Jefferson hotel. He said that no definite ar- engagement for the organization of the convention had yet been made and he predicted that none would be made un- til the meeting of the national commit tee which will take place next Monday. He advocates the selection of John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, leader of the minority in the house, for the po- sition of temporary chairman, and there is now little or no doubt that the selection will fall upon MT. Williams. The permanent chairmanship will probably go to some northern delegate, and Thomas F. Barkworth of Michigan and Patrick A. Collins are mentioned in that connection. The committee on arrangements for the convention will hold a meeting tomorrow but it is not expected that itrwill make any recom- mendation with regard to the conven-
 ton officers.
 The national committee will alsC | take up and dispose of contests on the part of rival delegates. The mos prominent of these is the Illinois case
 and Delegate Hopkins, who holds ere | dentials as delegate-at-large, has beer
 in the city all day busily occupied 1T pressing his claims.
