RUSSIA DOES NOT RECEDE
MAINTAINS SHE WAS JUSTIFIED
IN SINKING THE KNIGHT
<
h COMMANDER.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-THE Rus
sian reply to Great Britain's repre-
sentatiOns on the subject of the sink
ing of the British steamer knight Com
mander by the Vladivostok squadron,
while couched in friendliest terms,
does not recede from the Russian po-
sitiOn as set forth in the prize regula-
tiOns, in regard to the exercise of the
right to destroy neutral vessels carry
ing cOntraband in cases of emergency,
reserVlng the question for discussion
after the war. At the same time Rus
Sia assures Great Britain that the eX-
treme recourse to sinking neutral yes
sells, as announced Aug. 6, will not be
resorted to unless circumstances ref
der it impossible to take them to
prize court.
The Russian reply in the case of the
Knight Commander points out that
the prize regulations under which Rus
sla is acting were promulgated nine
years ago and that Great Britain did
not enter protest until after the pres
ent war began.

LOST JEWELS FOUND.
Missing Gems Valued at 100000 Lo-
Gated in Owners Safe,

New York, Aug 11-Mrs. Ogden
Goelet's jewels, valued at 100000 and
which were reported stolen from New
port, were found by her in the safe in
this city Mrs. Goelet made the find
it is said, on the instigation of private
detectives and Chief of Police Rich
ards Of Newport, who were simultane-
ously seized with the idea that the
missing property might be secured
under lock and key in it's accustomed
place.
Why the idea did not strike the de-
tectives and the chief of police sooner
is not known, as beyond modestly ad-
mitting that they told Mrs. Goelet
where to lay her hands on the jewels
the sleuths refuse to talk. One of the
chief mysteries of the case now is why
the detectives, if they knew the jewels
were in the safe in this city, did not
inform Mrs Goelet as soon as she not
if1ed them of her supposed loss.
Another mystery of prime impor-
tance is if the jewels really were
stolen how did they get back into the
safe in this city to be opportunely

EFFORTS TO END STRIKE.
More Peace Rumors Regarding Stock
Yards Trouble.


Chicago, Aug. 11.-Steps looking to
q settlement OF the stock yards strike
are to be initiated at conference be-
tween the Retail Meat Dealers asso-
citation of Chicago and the Market
Wagon Drivers union, according to re-
ports that reached the packinghouse
teamsters during the day.
Extension Of the picket lines about
wholesale and retail meat markets was
also promised by union officials A
conference Of the leaders was held and
plans were made to shut off ice and
meat from more establishments pat
ronizing the big packers.
There was revival of talk during
the day concerning the formation of a
new stock yards corporation to build
general stock yards on the Stickney
tract on tho Chicago drainage canal
This project is credited to the Hately
Bros. former packers, now engaged
in board OF trade operations. They
are said to lave secured extensive in
terests in the properties that were
once the possessions of President
Stickney Of the Great Western road.
In this connection Isaac Heitner, a cat
tie speculator at the yards, who has
also conducted slaughtering opera
tions, has secured two killing plants
and will enter the field as an indie
pendent packer One of the plants is
close to the Stickney tract.
City officials began an active inves-
tigation into the conditions surround
ing the housing of nonuion men and
women in the stock yards during the
day IN response to an appeal made by
union men to Mayor Harrison. The
officials refrained from making any
comment on the investigation, saying
their views would be embodied in a
report to the mayor.

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 1.-THE beauty
of the day was marred for hundreds
of Pueblo citizens who witnessed the
passing of friends and relatives whose
bodies were being conveyed to their
final resting places. The undertakers
and liverymen were severely taxed in
supplying hearses and vehicles Many
bodies were sent to other cities Sad,
indeed. were some of the pictures to
be seen. Instances of father and
mother being borne to the grave, fol
lowed by three or four orphan chill
dren, were not rare.
The search for victims which has
been SO faithfully conducted the past
two days was resumed at dawn, but
the chances of further recovery Of
dead grow sainter as the time passes,
although many persons supposed to be
victims are as yet unaccounted for.
The work Of Identifying the victims
has been cry difficult. The names
have been duplicated and quadrupli-
Gated with trifiing variations until the
lists have been swelled to ninety, one
hundred and even more. The list Of
identified dead numbers seventy-one,
with three still unidentified and
tWenty-eight missing.

Caputre of Wolf Hills Gives The
Jap Army An Important
Advantage.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 11.-NervOus-
ness over the situation at the front
seems to be increasing since the occu-
patton by the Japanese Of Wolf hills,
before Port Arthur. It is admitted that
the besiegers have an elevated posi-

Tossing confidence that General StOeS.
sci will be able to hold out with his
comparatively small garrison against
the enormous number of the attackers
and their evident disregard Of men, in.
dicated by the reckless maner in which
they stOrmed the outer positions, the
state of affairs creates more apOre-
hensiOn than the war Office or adlni-
rally care to acknowledge.
Similar misgivings exist regarding
General Kuropatkin's position, the ad"

port that the Japanese are working

BRITISH OFFICIAL DENIAL.
Has Sent No Ultimatum to Nicaraguan
Government,

London, Aug. 1.-THE foreign office
authorizes the Associated Press to pos
itively deny the New Orleans report
that the British minister to the Cen
trail American states has bee ordered
from Guatemala City to Managua to
deliver an ultimatum to the Nicara-
guam government regarding the seiZ-
ure Of the Cayman (Jamaican) fishing
schOoners and their crews by the Mic
araguan authorities. The matter is I'M
der discussion by the two govern
ments, but the foreign Office says no
suggestion Of force was contained in
any of the British communications and
while the British government adopted
strong attitude it is believed that
satisfactory adjustment by diplomatic
means will be effected.
The American government would un-
doubtedly have been notified as mat
ter of courtesy if Great Britain in
tended to occupy Nicaraguan port.

UNUSUAL INCIDENT CLOSED.
Mayor of Dubuque Names Sponsor for

Washington, Aug 11.--Mayor Berg
Of Dubuque, Ia, has concluded that it
would be desirable for him to name a
sponsor for the gunboat Dubuque, to be
launched at Morris Heights, N. Y, on
the 27th inst. A few days ago he
notified the navy department that for
various reasons he was unable to find
in Dubuque a young woman whom he
could designate as the vessels spon-
sOr and that the department would
have to select the sponsor. The may
Or's statement created a commotion
in Iowa, particularly in Dubuque. The
mayor has now notified Secretary Nor
ton that he named Miss Margaret
TredWay, a daughter of the president
of the Dubuque club, as sponsor for the
vessel. His action in the matter ter
inmates an incident rather unusual in
the annals Of the navy department.

Nebraska Democratic Convention In
Session at Lincoln.

Session at Lincoln
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 1.-THE person
mel Of the Democratic state ticket was
entirely in doubt when the convention
was called to order here during the
day.
A persistent story to the effect that
little opposition will be made to Roose-
welt and that the fusionists will bend
all their efforts towards carrying the
Legislature, SO that Mr.. Bryan may go
to the senate, was in circulation right
up to the convention hour.
1t is practically settled that there
shall be two electoral tickets in the
field, one Democratic and the other
Populist, but that the same names for
state officers and the legislature shall
appear on the two tickets. This would
almost certainly give the state to Roose
welt, at the same time giving the fiji
siOnists a better chance to elect a
United States senator

All Garment Workers in Chicago Or

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE executive

This action means that 5000 to
