vostok prize cases are not expected 10
come up in the admiralty court at ST.
Petersburg for at least month. The
court is composed of ten admirals, two
members of the court of cessation and
Professor De Martens. professor Of inter-
national law at the University of st. Pc
tersburg. The majority, according to the
Russian regulations, renders the verdict.
1t is understood that Sir Charles Hardinge,
the British ambassador to Russia, has un-
officially objected to the preponderance or
naval officers in the court and there is also
reason to believe that he has informally
pointed out to the foreign Office here the
apparent Inconsistency of Russia's position
in holding that foodstuffs are only condi-
tionally contraband, on the ground that
they are subject to dual use, while not
making a similar concession in favor or
fuel and other articles also of dual use.
% The question of contraband, however, Is
not expected to be formally pressed further
by either the United States or Great Brit
ain pending the admiralty courts decision.

GUARD OVER THE CONNECTICUT.
A Defect in the Ways Discovered Some
Weeks Ago.

At the Navy Department today the state
ment was made that the special guard now
stationed around the battle ship Connectf-
cut, which is to be launched at the navy
yard, New York, tomorrow had been in
creased because of a discovery made some
weeks ago of defect in the ways which
has given the department considerable con-
Germ. No word has reached the department
as yet of the discovery of new obstruc-
ton, such was described by New York
morning paper.
1t appears that an officer discovered this
trouble and searching investigation fol-
lowed but it was impossible to determine
definitely whether the defect was due to an
accident or to treachery, and the COM
mandant of the yard could find no clue to
the person responsible. Rear Admiral
Rodgers however. reported the matter to
the Navy Department, the whole Nsubject
being guarded with the greatest secrecy.
1t is always customary to guard ship
preparatory to its launching. and the Incl
dent of several weeks ago has put the off,
cials of the New York yard constantly on
the watch. In view of the fact that
there has been trouble in the building OF
the Connecticut regarding the piece work
system and other labor troubles the anxi-
ety of the officials about the safety or the
ship has been increased

nary work of placing candidates in the

Colonel Edwards, chief of the bureau of
insular affairs, War Department, replying
to an inquiry from w. H. Hills, chairman
of the government board of the Lewis and
Clark exposition. as to the participation by
the Philippine government at the Portland
fair, says that in view of the great burden
caused by participation in the ST.. Louis
fair, and the money and effort it has cost,
the Philippine government feels constrain-
ed, with much regret, to decline participa-
ton in the Lewis and Clark exposition.
Colonel Edwards suggests. however, that
an adequate Philippines exhibit might be
made, upon the specific condition that no
expense attach to the island goyernment.
and has submitted proposition. which.
however, first must be submitted to civil
Governor Wright at Manila for his ap-
porval, and that Is that the government
board set aside $4,000 and the Lewis and
Clark exposition place $5o, 900 at the dis
posal of the War Departments representa-
tive who shall have charge of the exhibit,

Gen. Corbn is In excellent health and

ANOTHER JAPANESE LOAN.
Business Conditions in japan Indicate
a Heavy Subscription.

TOKYO, September 2s.-The government
has decided to float another domestic loan
of S4O,O00,OOO on conditions similar to the
last. The Issue price will be 92 and the in
terest per cent Business conditions indi-
cate a heavy subscription. The minister of
fiEance VIII meet the bankers of Tokyo
Thursday and of Osaka and Nagoya on
Saturday to discuss the loan.
1t is probable that the conscription law
will be amended, increasing the service in
the reserve five years and making the regu-
lar reserve service total seventeen years
and five months This means a large in
crease in the strength of the army.
Unofficial estimates place the number of
sick and wounded Japanese soldiers under
treatment in Japan at forty-five thousand.
The military hospitals at Tokyo, Osaka and
Hiroshima contain ten thousand each. Nine
thousand have recovered sufficiently to be
sent to mountain and health resorts. The
system of handling and treating the sick
and wounded is working splendidly and the
death rate is exceptionally small.

IMPORTERS DISSATISFIED.
New Tariff Clause Meets Objection in
Canada

TORONTO. Ontario, September 2S.-The
anti-dumping clause of the new tariff is
said to be causing considerable dissatsfac-
ton to importers. 1t has been in opera
tion now for three months, and is as far
as possible enforced by the officials at the
Toronto customs house. 1t has been as
certained that invoices of dumped goods
pass through the customs daily and are
likely to make rather formidable show
ing at the end of the fiscal year.
This is regarded as inevitable in board of
trade circles, the imports from the
United States to Canada had bounded to
S1240O0,000 last year, as compared with 500 =
000,OO0 nine years ago. Secretary Stewart
of the Toronto branch of the Canadian
Manufacturers Association says that the
anti-dumping clause is proving a failure so
far as preventing Canada being treated as
slaughter market and simply amounts to
filming honest importers, while their unscru-
pulous rivals can easily evade the extra
duty.

SIXTH MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
Convention at Rockville Delayed by
Belated Delegates,

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, September 2S.-Owing
to delay in the arrival of the delegations
from Allegany and Garrett counties, the
sixth district democratic congressional con-
vention, which meets in the Opera House
here today, will not be called to order until
long after the appointed hour
The delegates already in town seem to
be very much at sea regarding the prob
able nominee Sentiment appears to be di-
vided between George A. Pearre of Fred
erick and Dewarren H. Reynolds of Cum
berland. The Frederick county delegates
are for Pearre to a man, and quite a SEN
timent exists among the Montgomery dele
gates In favor of his selection. He is a
first cousin of Colonel Pearre, the republi-
can nominee, and the identical similarity in
names would, it is urged, operate very
much to the advantage of the democratic
Pearre, especially in Frederick county
where the illiterate negro vote is large and
where the official ballot will contain no
party designations.
Other names have also been suggested
but nothing definite will be decided on un-
til after a conference with the belated
delegates

to Germany.
BERLIN, September 2S.-The Japanese
refugees who lived in Russian territory at
the outbreak of the war will be sent across
the German frontier October l on their way
to Japan. The refugees consist mainly Of
merchants and laborers from East Siberia.
They have been detained under surveil-
lance since the war broke out, but the Rus
sian government did not interpose diff
culties to the present movement homeward.
The active part taken by Ambassador Nc
Cormick at st. Petersburg in collecting
and forwarding the refugees and sending
commissioners to distant parts of the en-
pire is greatly appreciated at the Japanese
legation here. A deputation of Japanese
residing in Berlin, headed by a member of
the legation will go to Eydtkuhnen, on the
eastern frontier of Prussia, to meet the
refugees and conduct them to Bremen,
where they will at once embark for home.
Considerable amounts of money and cloth
ing have been collected in Germany to as
slst the needy Japanese.
The German contributions in aid of the
japanese Red Cross Society since the out
break of the war amount to about $1,000.
