No Formal Protest Will Be Made.
Toxic, June 1S-The Japanese gov

NAL protest through France against
the alleged violation of the Japanese
flag at the battle of Telssu on the
ground of uselessness. 1t is believed
that the Russians will deny it whatev-

of the disadvantages of the Japanese
restriction on military observers and

RATION CITY OFFICIALS
TO RESIGN
the Council to Be Referred to the
People for Solution.

The contest over the city marshal
ship of Ration is still on, the latest
move being the prospective resigna-
tions of the city council and the city
officials. The reason for the action
was set forth in resolutions submitted
to number of citizens of Ration. They
set forth that the deadlock between
the mayor and council over the ap-
pointment of minor city officers has
caused a great deal of i'll feeling and
may result in expensive litigation
which would be a detriment to the
city. Acting Mayor ]. G. Orin, City
Clerk R. H. Carter, City Treasurer q.
r. Frisby, j. A. Rush, alderman of the
first ward, and F. c. Nash, alderman
of the second ward will hand in their
designations to take effect at some flu
ture date. They will ask that special
election be called tn fill the vacancies,
thereby referring all questions to the
people for solution.

A special to the Denver papers from

A special to the Denver papers from
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania says:
George J. Gould, with Benjamin Nj
chol and President f. T. Jeffrey of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, came
to Pittsburg today on a special train
over the Wabash terminal. Late in the
day they went to the Duquesne Club
on Sixth Avenue, where they were met
by number of the stockholders of the
Santa Fee Central Railway
After a long discussion Mr.. Gould is
said to have made an offer for the
road. Mr.. Gould and the Pittsburg rep
resentatives adjourned for dinner and
later the. proposition was taken up.
The Santa Fe Central line extends
115 miles southwark from the southern
terminal of the Denver & Rio Grande
and this stretch of track has long been
desired by Gould.
The deal was not closed by Mr..
Gould, as near as could be learned, to-
day. Before going to his special car
President Jeffrey said:
Mr.. Gould is most desirious of see
ing the Santa Fe Central success.

visit or our conference while in Pitts
burg"
Another special says:
President E. T. Jeffrey of the
Denver & Rio Grande, who came to
Pittsburg yesterday with George j.
Goiild of the Wabash interests, today
had long conference with H. G. Frick
and Frank j. Torrance, who owns the
Santa Fe Central road. which extends
115 miles from the southern terminal
of the Denver & Rio Grande.
Mr. Gould was also present at the
conference. Not only this. but Mr..
Gould was last evening the guest of
Mr.. Frick at dinner. That the Gould
interests seek to buy the Santa Fe
Central is mot strongly denied by any
of those interested. Mr.. Gould got
into his car soon after the conference
and would not be seen.
President jeffrey would only admit
that the Gould interests were interest
ed in seeing the Santa Fe Central line
succeed He would not answer when
asked if an offeE~for the control had
n>.. ..'cnn made the Pittsburg people by
George J. Gould.
1t is more than reasonably certain
that big offer was made for the San

making too much weed and Of rust
and worms injuring II, but over the
state as whole the crop Is generally
healthy and fairly promising. Early
corn is practically made and promises
a good crop; the late is doing fairly
well Threshing Of wheat and oats

a good stand and sweet potatoes are a
good crop and the earlier varieties are
