PLANNED A DASH.
Japanese Struck Russian Fleet In the
Nick of Time.

NICK OF lime.
Toxic, June 28.-Admiral Togo, re-
porting further on his success at Port
Arthur, says his patrol boat discovered
the battleship Peresviet and seven other
vessels, accompanied by nine torpedo
boat destroyers, near the entrance to
Port Arthur harbor. The patrol boat
wal ned him wirelessly, and he imme-
diately advanced his entire feet, except
those engaged upon special duty.
The admiral then discovered that
the Russian fleet consisted of six battle
ships, five cruisers and IA destroyers,
the commander having evidently plan
ned dash by sundown.
The Russians stopped outside the en-
trance to the harbor, and after night
fall feet of Japanese torpedo boat de-
stroyers resolutely attacked the Rus
sian ships, and succeeded in torpedoing
and sinking battleship of the Peres-
Wet type, and disabled the battleship
Sevastopol.
A cruiser of the Diana type was OBJ
served burning. It was towed into the
harbor and it was evident she sustatin-
ed serious damage. The torpedo boat
destroyer Shirakumo was hit by a
shell, which fell in the cabin, killing
three men and wounding three others.
The Chidori, vassel of the same class,
was hit behind the engine room, but
no casualties resulted therefrom. Tor
pedo boats 81 and 66 were slightly
damaged.

Fire for Twelve Hours.
Chicago, June 27.-A special to the
Daily News from Chefoo says:
Another demonstration took place
OF Port Arthur Thursday. Firing be-
gan from the forts about 10 a. M, and
continued until 10 p. m. The program
was about the same as on the previous
day.
1.-The destroyers and torpedo boats
pursued the same tactics, and an aux
iliaryIcruiser lay of the islands until
the firing had ceased, when it proceed
ed eastward at full speed.
9 AT $50 p. M, the same evening,
firing began heavily from the bluff,
with much activity of the searchliehts.
indicating the approach of torpedo
boats. A little later the sound of more
dietant firing was heard, evidently
from the land side of Port Arthur. con-
tinuing until 2:30 in the morning.
"During that period there was an
almost uninterrupted thunder as of
field guns and volley firing, punctuated
with clashes as of siege guns. y
cit is probable that what took place
was general shore action with a naval
demonstration. It seems as though
the japanese intend to wear out the de-
tenders by continued night activity, be-
fore making final simultaneous sea
and land attack

Japan Seeking No Gain.

Vienna, June 29.-The Allegemeine-
Zeitung says that according to a diplo-
matte note received here the Japanese
government has resolved, in case peace
is restored, to demand nothing else
than was mentioned in the govern
ment's note of December last; that if
even if Port Arthur be taken by the
japanese, to restore it to Russia, re-
specting the Russo-Chinese agreement,
and that Japan will regard Russia as
economically predominant in Manchu-
ria. Japan demands only that she be
considered with the other great powers
in the solution of Asiatic questions.

AMERICA TO DROP IT.
No Demand For Redress Will Be Mape
In Perdlcaris' Case.

In Perdicaris' Case.
Washington, June 28.-The state de-
partment does not contemplate any re-
clamations upon the Moorish govern
ment on account of the Perdicaris Incl
dent. In its view that the government
has suffered severely, both from a
financial point of view and in national
humiliation, through its compliance
with the demand of the use of force, by
appearing to the powerful influences of
the Shereefs Mouley Ali and Mouley
Ahmed, who headed the escort sent to
bring the prisoners to Tangier. More
over, France practically furnished the
money from which the ransom was
paid, as the recent French loan of $12,-
SOC, 900 gave the sultan the means to
meet Raisuli's demand for $40, 900
ransom.
The Raisuli incident is going to have
an important effect on the adoption of
a firm French policy toward Morocco.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that definite steps have
already been taken to inaugurate
French authority. M. Delcasse has Sc
lected M. Raindre, the ex-French rep
resentative at Geneva, to take up the
organization of the Moroccan customs
at the ports, including Tangier. The
recent French loan to Morocco is guar
anteed by the customs receipts. There
fore, NJ. Raindre will oversee the GUS
toms administration. He is now or
agnizing a large staff. The next step
will be the organization of French po-
lice or gendarmerie at Tangier.
It appears by all accounts, including
that of Perdicaris himself. as set down
in his letters, that he did not suffer
undue hardship; that he was treated
with kindness and consideration by
Raisuli and that he has no ill-feeling
toward that, to him, agreeable bandit.
No sufficient reason exists " by any fur
ther demands should be made upon the
sultan of Morocco either for indemnity
or the punishment of the kidnapers.
If the sultan chooses to take vengeance
upon Raisuli, that is his own affair.

posed to assume belligerent attitude

Hayti adequately to realize and redress
the offenses. This contributed to the

waters.

TEXTILE MEN

BIG CUT IS ORDERED
Condition of Market Gives
Hope to WOrkmen That
Trouble May Be Averted

FALL RIVER, Mass, July 20.-Un-
less the cotton mill owners of this city
who operate what are known as union
plants abandon their announced inten-
ton of inaugurating on Monday next
a new scale of wages which would re-
duce the earnings of their employees
121a per cent $1,000 operatives will
stop work following the strike vote
cast tonight by the Textile Workers
Union.
By a vote of 1910 to 396 the union
men decided to strike Monday, disre-
garding the suggestion of the Textile
Council that strike was inadvisab bic
at this time. 1t is the general belief
in this city that the mill owners will
reconsider their decision to reduce
wages and so avoid a strike. This be-
lief is based on the argument of the
union leaders that the cotton and
cloth markets are in such condition
that a shut down at this time would
be ruinouS to the manufacturers.

STRIKE ON FEDERAL WORK.

GRAFTON of Labor is behind the strike
of bricklayers at the arsenal and is
bound to make a test case on the is
sue of non-union men being employed
by the Government. Work on the
War College buildings is tied up on
account of the strike declared yester-
day.
In the case of the Bricklayers'
Union this particular action in de-
claring a strike at the arsenal is the
result of a change in the constitution
made last winter which does away
with the old clause in which it was
stipulated that no union regulations
would be applied TO Government con-
tracts. The constitution as it now
stands makes no exception for any
kind of work.

CLEVELAND LAUDs PARKER.

Praises Jurist's Action in Sending Gold
Telegram to Convention.
NEW YORK, July Steady.
Democrats Steady" is the title of an
article by Grover Cleveland which will
be printed in Golfers for July %. In
it Cleveland lauds the action of Judge
Parker in sending the gold telegram"
to the st. Louis convention and ex-
presses satisfaction with the platform
and outlook as follows:
IF sometimes during the last week
those most earnestly and prayerfully
solicitous for a complete restoration
of the Democratic party to health and
sanity have felt depressed by certain
convention incidents relating to the
money question, it is certainly now
time for them and for all who love true
Democracy to calmly survey the situa-
ton as it appears since the dust and
swelter of the convention controversy
have passed away.
mo action of the Democracy's rep
resentatives assembled in the late con-
vention can be construed in any other
way than as an acknowledgment of
the establishment of a gold standard
and willing pledge TO its mainte-
nance.
while the Democratic rank and
file trembled and waited, the voice Of
a quiet, reserved and able man rang
out above all the convention clamor,
drowning the roisterous hum of con-
vention diplomacy. In tones of au-
thority and leadership the message
-fo
ard.
Il believe no man ever did so much
for a cause and in so many directions
in so short a time and in so compact
a form as was done by our candidate
when he sent this message to the st.
Louis convention"

nious, every candidate but for Railroad
Commissioner being nominated by ac-
clamation. The session was one of the
briefest held in years and it was
marked by but one enthusiastic demon
stration-that which greeted Governor

the resolutions.
Governor Cummins made a short
speech. He declared himself in perfect
accord with the address of Congress-
man Hepburn, a leading stand pat
ter" and as he continued in this har-
monious vein he was accorded cheer

they include nothing to give offense to
