Trouble Reported in St. Paul.

St. Paul. Minn., July 17.-"Our strug- gle with the strikers will soon be won,'' said Jos. Burns, the superintendent of the Swift & Go. packing plant at South St Paul tonight. Superintendent Burns said that he had engaged 20 men, all of whom, witt. the aid of the sheriff of Da- kota county and the mayor of St. Paul, he expects to take itno the Swift yards at 6 o'clock.
 "So far as we are concerned" said Mir Burns. ''the strike is at an end. although we will take back any or all our old men at the wages they were receiving before the strike. l will have 2Oo men ready in the morning to enter the yards, and I will engage any other ablebodied men who present themselves ready for work at that time
 President Willis of the local union branch, while not predicting violence, says that 300 strikers will be at the gates to oppose the entrance of the men Super Superintendent Burns has hired. The strikers are determined. and there are fears of serious trouble if MT. Burns car ries out his plans. Governor Van Sandt is carefully watching the situation and is said to be ready to call out the militia in case the local authorities at South St. Paul are found unable to cope with the strikers.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE DROPPED.
Pending Questions Between Russia and Great Britain in Statue Quo.

St. Petersburg, July 1.-The Associated Press is authortatively informed that since the outbreak of the war neither Russia or Great Britain has proposed ne- gotiations looking to the settlement of pending questions between the two coun- tries and that consequently the report that Rusisa has rejected any overtures by Great Britain in this direction is a mistake
 The important fact, however has devel- oped from the investigations made by the Associated Press that prior to the out break of hostilities tentative negotiations for the adjustment of long-standing diffi- culties between the two countries had ac- tually begun. but when Great Britains ally became involved in a war with Rus sia the impropriety Of continuing the ne- gotiations was recognized by both parties. and by mutual agreement were adjourned. Since that time there has been no effort by either side to renew them.
 Nevertheless it seems beyond question that the diplomacy Of both countries is trying to pave the way toward an en- tente at the conclusion of the war. In the meantime such independent questions as arise as being adjudicated in the best of spirit as witnessed in the sealing cases. and in Great Britain's undertaking to act for Rusisa in the protection of the seal fisheries of the Kommander Islands, in the Behring Sea. Especially since the arrival of Sir Charles IIardinge. the British ambassador whose special mission is believed to be the cultivation of better relations in view of an ultimate entente, there has been noticeable amelioration of anti-Britlsh sentiment in Russia.

 That cannot be so. 1 do not believe it. There Is less of the communistic and so- ciaiistic feeling in the country today than has existed in many years, and there will be no quarres in the democra- tic party.
 q was on the subcommittee that made the St Louis platform and had an oD- portunity to know something of the feel ing. I sat between MT. Hill and Mir. Bry- an. and 1 can assure you there is no truth in rumors of war in the party"

RUSSIA IS NOW
 ON ANXIOUS SEAT Wonders What the Powers Will
 Have to Say WAS TREATY VIOLATED ? Passaqe of Merchantmen Through the Dardanelles and Later conver- sion Into WarshIps Piece
 of Sharp Practice
WAS TREATY VIOLATED 2

St Petersburg, July 1.-The news that the Russian volunteer steamships Smol- ensk and St. Petersburg now cruisisg in the Red sea, are stopping ships of neutral nations and searching them for contra band of war, is causing the liveliest in- terest in all circles. Russia has evidently weighed the question, believes herself to be within her rights, and neither fears nor anticipates international complications. Some of the powers indeed, may have been sounded by Russia on the subject Nevertheless foreign opinion is awaited eagerly and more or less criticism is ex- pected. Members of the diplomatic corps are keenly anxious to ascertain the views their governments will take of the pas sage through the Dardanelles of these vessels of the volunteer fleet as mer- chantmen, and their subsequent con version into ships of war
 The general view in diplomatic circles, even where sentiment Is not particularly friendly to Russia, is that while the pas sage of the Dardanelles might be con sidered d piece of sharp practice on the part of Russia, it is an accomplished fact diu tut pOWSiS VII -iON nv ~SN-- - - - a violation of the treaty of Paris but will guard against it's repetition.
 It is thought that some of the powers might insist that henceforth all volun- teer vessels shall be considered as war ships within the meaning of the treaty One of the most interesting questions in this connection the diplomats believe, will arise out of Russia s declaration that coal is contraband of war.
 With the prize crews on board the cap tured ships, they could be sent to Rus sian Baltic ports, but if short of coal they could not put in at neutral ports to replenish their bunkers. This same ques- tion may embarrass Russia when the Baltic squadron sails for the far east.
 In view of the protest made by Ger many in the case of the stoppage of the steamer Bundsrath (seized in Delagoa bay, December 29 1s99). during the South African war, as the result of which Great Britain had to pay charges, much curios- ity exists as to what Germany will do in the case of the confscation by the Smol- ensk of the mail sacks on board the North German-Lloyd steamer Prince Heinrich, especially as a large portion of the mails seized were undoubtedly of a commercial character.
