Wants Answer Regarding Capture Of
American Cargoes.

III
ST. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorff is being pressed by
Ambassador Mccormack for an answer
to the representations Of the United
States in regard to the cargoes Of the
steamers Arabia and Calchas both cap
tured by the vladivostok squadron. IT
lis understood that the United States
now goes to the extent Of asking for the
release of the cargoes.
washington, Sept. Sat the state
department confirmation is obtained Of
the statement in the st. Petersburg
dispatch that this government is asking
for the release of the cargoes of the
steamers Arabia and Calchas, seized by
the Vladivostok squadron. The Cali
chas, though a British vessel, had an
American cargo aboard. The state de-
partment all along has contended that
foodstuffs not directly consigned to the
forces of a belligerent are not contra
brand of war and has pressed this
view on the Russian government. There
are no recent developments in the case
of the cargoes of the two steamers
mentioned, and in view Of the indeci-
sion Of the Russian commission en-.
gagged in examining the question Of
contrabrand immediate action is not
expected. The disposition Of the high
Russian officials, as viewed in Wash
ington, seems to be to treat the matter
of foodstuffs being contrabrand from
the standpoint Of policy rather than
from the wen defined rules of interna-
tiona1 law

ARKANSAS ELECTION.
Reelection of JEFFERSON Davis as Cow
ernor Indicated.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 5.-Early re-
turns from the state election In Arlkan-
sas indicate the reelection for governor
of Jefferson Davis, the democratic in
cumbent, over Harry Myers, republi-
can, by the usual large democratic ma
jority. The democrats easily elected
their entire state ticket and the interest
centered in the vote In large towns,
where the regular democrats were OPP
posed. in many instances, by independ-
ents.
Returns are necessarily slow, as
many voting places are remote from
railroad and telegraph stations.
In Crittenden county, where trouble
was anticipated because of a bitter fac
tional fight and where pistol duel was
fought recently between Sheriff f. M.
Williamson and former Sheriff Werner,
the election passed off quietly. Partial
returns indicate an overwhelming ma
Ejority for Lewis for sheriff, as against
Williamson.
