Forbearance Of United States Regard
ing Seizure OF Contraband.
st. Petersburg, Aug. S.-The salts,
faction Of the Russian authorities at
the forbearance of the United States
government in connection with the
neutral commerce situation is echoed
in an editorial in the NOvoe Vremya,
which says the United States is nat
urally much interested in the declara-
ton that foodstuffs are cOntraband
and points out that rice was made con-
traband during the Franco-Chinese
war. The paper says it is extremely
difficult to draw the line once the pro-
hibitiOn of war food supplies is
broached, but it expresses the hope
that it will be possible, even in the
face Of the difficulties existing, that
some way may be found OF meeting
the wishes of the United States in tls
direction.

VIOLATED IMMiGRATlONa LAWS
Charge Against Captain of Steamer
St. Paul.

New York, Aug. S.-Captain Fred
erick NJ. Passow, commander of the
steamship St. Paul of the American
line, was arrested here during the day
by federal authorities on the technical
charge of allowing an alien, ordered
deported, to escape. 1t is alleged by
the federal officers that the steamships
have frequently permitted aliens who
have been ordered deported and whom,
under the existing laws, the steamship
companies would be forced to return
to their own countries free of charge,
to escape on this side, thus defeating
the aim of the immigration laws Cap
tain PassOW waived examination when
arraigned before United States Com

RUST REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
But Few Sections in the Northwest
Are Affected.

Minneapolis, Aug. S.-Reports from
the wheat fields of the Northwest show
that the widespread talk of rust is
unfounded to large extent. While in
some sections the farmers will lose
practically all of their crops there is
little damage outside the immediate
localities where the rust is the worst.
A conservative estimate of the loss
from this source places the shortage
in Minnesota at about 10 per cent, in
South Dakota at from Is to 20 per cent
and in North Dakota about per cent.
There has been no widening of the
affected area and unless the rust does
spread there will undoubtedly be an
average crOD,

GENERAL KELLER RECKLESS.
Warned Against Exposure Which Led
to His Death

Liaoyang, Aug. S.-Prince Shiren-
Sky, al eyewitness of Lieutenant Gen
eral Count Keller's death, says It was
due to reckless inspection of the
batteries made On foot.
During lull in the fighting about
midday, July 20, General Keller,
though warned by his subordinates
that his white uniform made a fine
target, laughed and slipped from his
horse and walked to the front OF the
battery just as shrapnel shell burst
He died within two minutes after
being wounded. The railway carriage
in which his body was brought here
was profusely decorated with ever
greens and wild flowers gathered by
his men as q last tribute to their COM
