NO PLOT AGAINST 1oUBEr.
Report of Alleged Attempt to Assassin
 ate Him Denied.

Rome, April 25.-The report sent from Rome to Berlin, printed in the Tage- blatt of that capital and circulated on the Bourse, and which reached Paris (and which was also circulated in the United States) that there was a plot against the life of President Loubet and that an attempt had been made to as- sassinate him. is without foundation.
 The report may perhaps have origin ated in the fact that French priest went to the office of the Italia, where, becoming excited he cried that he had come to Rome to kill President Loubet. The editor of the Italia sent for the po- lice, but before they arrived the priest had disappeared. The police then ar rested several priests. but in none of them could the staff of the Italia recog- nize the excited clergyman who had visited the office. All search for this priest has up to the present proved un- availing. Nobody, however, attaches importance to the incident.

SOME RUSSIAN STRATEGY.
Mobile Force Placed So as to Threaten
 Japanese Flank.

St. Petersburg, April 25.-General Kuropatkin has played a strong card in the game of strategy. A large por- tion of General Rennekampff's Cossack cavalry division has been thrown across the upper reaches of the Yalu, and an additional force of cavalry, which crossed the Tumen some time ago, is moving down to the southwest to effect a juncture with it. Together with this force, which it is believed to- tals 2,000 men, he will threaten Lieu tenant-General Inouye's left flank when the Japanese are ready to cross lower down on the Yalu. Being composed of cavalry, with a few mountain guns, Rennekampff's s force is extremely mo- bile. Unless it should be dislodged, it will compel the Japanese to leave a very strong army to guard the commu- nications, whereas if a Japanese force should be sent to drives it out it would have to move directly. away from the main army, while the Russian army, if compelled to fall back, can recross in the direction of the Russian troops con- centrated in Manehuria.

 feet Support to Jackson-Local Pitch
 CTS Hammered Hard-Results in the
 National and American Leagues.
 The Yale team walloped the New Ha- vens at the Yale field yesterday after noon to the tune of 10 to 0. It was the first appearance of the local team on home grounds this season and they dis played considerable rawness, which was more or less expected. The men have played together but once before, and that was in New Britain last Saturday. It will take two or three weeks hard practice to round them into shape.
 Yale played an errorless game, and after the fourth inning the result was never in doubt Jackson pitched an al- most faultless game, was splendidly caught by Winslow and received sup port of the highest order from both the in and the outfielders. The locals did some snappy fielding, a feature being a double play in the first inning by Hayward, Anderson and Doran.
 New Haven only got as far as third once during the contest. This was in the fifth inning, when Connell. the first man up, smashed out three bagger to left field The next three men up, however, could not find Jackson. One of them he struck out and the other two went out on easy infield balls
 Up to the fifth inning the score was 2 to 0. Dupee, the New Haven twirler, was pitching a good game, but in the fifth he was taken out. Shulz going into the box and Stemple replacing Jope behind the bat. From this time the game was characterized by the heavy hitting of Yale.
 In the sixth inning Winslow cracked out as nice a home run as ever seen on the field. Shulz was then taken out and Burdett went in but the collegians took just as kindly to his curves, get ting three runs in the eighth on errors and four hits.

Former New York Policeman Placed
 Under Arrest.
 New York, April 25.-Harry J. Hume, a former member of the New York po- lice force and later real estate agent, was arrested to-day at Oceanport, N. J., charged with the larceny of S5S, ,265 from Mrs. Mary Jex, of this city. The warrant was issued November 29. 1903, and since then Hume has eluded the officers who have been looking for him.
 Mrs. Jex was once wealthy, but it Is said that after meeting Hume she was induced to part with $160,000 which she understood Hume was to use in organ izing the United Coal and Coke com pany, of Pittsburg, Pa. There is such a company, but it is said that Hume has never been connected with it. Hume is said to have given Mrs. Jex four notes.
 Hume was found living under the name of L. Miller, and after his arrest he was taken to Freehold, where he was locked up to await extradition pro- ceedings.

Police Commissioners Hold Special
 Meeting.

Police Commissioners Hold Special
 Meeting.
 There was a full meeting of the po- lice commissioners held in the police building last evening. The session was special one, called for the purpose of considering the recent pool-room raid, and was attended by Mayor Studley. The commissioners were in session from 8 o'clock until after 10, and during this time the greatest secrecy was preserv- ed. Every one was excluded from the room except the mayor, even the chief and clerk, and Policeman Lautenbach was stationed in the outer temple, alias the hall, to see that there were no eavesdroppers. A policeman was seen walking outside the building also, but it is not known whether he was there on duty or merely happened to be there.
 At the conclusion of the meeting the Thompson, and he said that there was nothing to say. He said that existing conditions had been carefully talked over, and that there would be another meeting in the near future, when some action might be taken.
 Mayor Studley was seen and he made the same statement as Chairman Thompson. From present indications it looks as if the commissioners had some surprises "up their sleeves which they may spring later.

Laborer Shot Down by an Italian Who
 Fled.

Inlpotence.

Berlin. April 25.-Professor Muenster- berg has written two volume book l"The Americans" which Berlin pub fisher will bring out next week. The newspapers print extracts from it to- day. In chapter on the Monroe doc Urine the author says he thinks the time is near when the absurdity os the doctrine will be seen and the rejection os 1t will proceed as rapidly as the adoption of imperialism by the masses los the people proceeded, for a naton Ecannot permanently run counter to it's highest interests for the sake of ca price"
 The professor argues that the condi- ttons no longer exist which gave rise to the doctrine, namely the contrast between Europe as the land of tyranny and America as that of democratic freedom. Americans know that the west European nations have popular representation, while they know still better that the Latin American repub- lies, except Argentina, Chiie and Mex ico. are most repulsive caricatures of liberty and democracy. Americans no | ilOlERf IGGl IIlGIIt5ClNCS Cd1iCd VII " RA0T tect blackmailing South American re- pubIics from the invasion of the Euro pean political system. Furthermore, the second original argument for the doctrine. namely. the political safety ] os the United States. no longer exists. iOn the contrary, superstitious adher- ence thereto is one of the most danger ous Factors for the United States peace European colonies in South America would cause as little trouble sor the United States as the colonies in Africa.
 Professor Muensterberg says the doc Urine has grown hollow and that the best interests of the United States de- mand it's abandonment so far as South America is concerned. He adds:
 "The United States interests demand lthe rapid development of that conti- nent, sor the promotion of American export trade The maintenance of the doctrine there will only protect it's wretched economic impotence, since the lroliticians of those countries, know that Europe can undertake nothing against them so long as the Washing ton government protects them. If the I United States continues to assert the doctrine it cannot escape the reproach of promoting anarchy and hindering the progress oe one of the richest con- l tinents.
 'The above arguments apply only to
 South America. The canal gives the United States real interests in Central America.
 However, Europe must for the pres
 ent continue the policy of hands off till the doctrine dies a natural death in I the American mind."

POPE AND THE U. S NEGRO
ADVOCATES SAME JUSTICE FOR
 RACE AS OTHERS.
Letter Received From the PapaI secre- tary in Answer to a Petition Asking His Holiness to Use His Good Offices
 for the Better Treatment of Negroes
in This Ountry.

Topeka, Kan, April 25.-Nick Chiles. editor oe the Topeka Plain Dealer. negro paper, to-day received letter from Cardinal Merry Del Val, who wrote for Pope Plus x.
 The Western Negro Press association, of which Chiles is president, at its 0n- nual meeting, adopted 8 resolution urg- ing the pope to use his good offices for better treatment of the negro race in this country. Chinese gave copy of the resolution to Senator Burton, who sent it to Cardinal Gibbons, he in turn forwarding it to Rome.
 The letter from Rome, which came through Cardinal Gibbons, says: T have much pleasure in assuring yor that his holiness has read the res olution with interest and sympathy, and I am commissioned to thank you and your associates very cordially in his name. The sovereign pontiff is well aware that there are many Catholics among the negroes of the United States and this knowledge increases his inter- est in the welfare of your race.
 His holiness as the vicar of Christi
 
 without exception. and he must neces- sarily use his good offices to urge all Catholics to be friendly to negroes, who are called no less than other men to share all the great benefits of the re- l demption.
 'The lie and example of St. Peter claver and of so many other Catholic missionaries are there to show that this i is no new conception of the apostolate entrusted to the church of Christ.
 Whilst frankly admitting that crimes may often be committed by members of the negro race, his holiness advocates for them the justice granted to other men by the laws of the land and treatment in keeping with the tenets of Christianity.
 T am confident that these senti- ments are shared by the vast majority Of the great American people and by those who are responsible for the cus- tody of the principles underlying the American constitution.
 Signed: R. Card. Merry Del Val"

Rejects Offers of Kings Edward and
 Christian for Intervention.
 St. Petersburg, April 25, 7:9O p. m.- The Associated Press is enabled to am nounce authoritatively that the talk of mediation in the Russo-J apanese war was founded upon the personal desires of King Edward and King Christian of Denmark to avoid further bloodshed and end the conflict, but that the steps initi- ated have utterly failed. The emperor, with the full concurrence of the inperi- al family and his advisors, has firmly decided not only to reject all proposals looking to intervention, but to prosecute the war with all the resources Of the empire until victory crowns the Russian arms.
 The interference of outside powers will not be tolerated. There is to be no repetition of the Berlin congress.

 tees Meet To-Night.
 While the boilermakers are still out on strike, biding their time. and while the strike breakers are living on the steamer Northam, the machinists have a grievance that was caused by the ac- ton of the Consolidated railroad offici- als yesterday. The mahcinists were no- tiled by official posters when they went to work yesterday morning that begin- ming yesterday they would work for a nine hour day but with the same pay per hour that they had received on the ten hour schedule in force up to the end Of last week. The machinists made a demand about a month ago for nine hour day at an increase per hour that work of nine hours somewhat less than had been paid for ten hours work. The announcement yesterday morning was the first step taken by the company. As a result the executive committee of the machinists' locals along the Con- solidated road will meet in this city to- night and prepare the statement of their grievance for presentation to the officials of the road. In the event Of summary refusal of their proposition it is likely that the machinists will leave and join the boilermakers.
 The executive committee of the strik- ing boilermakers met at the Cedar street headquarters yesterday morning but to all appearances remained inac- tive during the day. There was no meeting last night. but another meeting will be held this evening. The boiler makers are orderly and at their head quarters they display only earnest in tention to hold out until their demands are granted.
 The large number of railroad police employed to guard the strike breakers were kept busy yesterday s.shooing" off reporters, but to all appearances there was no danger of any attempts by strikers to get into the shops. Work dragged slowly at the shops and since the machinists refused to work on the engines at the same time strike break
