London, July 1s.--Earl Percy, under
Secretary of Foreign Affairs. in the
House of Commons asked General Lau-
rick conservative and Unionist) to
postpone a question which he proposed
to ask anent the doings of the Russian
volunteer feet steamer St. Petersburg
in the Red Sea, until Thursday.
Earl Percy said the question, which
among other things asked IL IL was In
conformity with International law for
a vessel to be transformed on the high
seas from a merchant ship to a war
ship. or whether a ship holding a COM
mission as a warship should be COM
missioned as such in a port of the ma
ton TO which II belongs, was of the ut

earnest attention of the government.
AS. however, the governments infor-

points, he, the Under Secretary. was
not prepared to answer at present.
With reference to the seizure OF the
Peninsula and Oriental Company's
steamer Malacca (from Antwerp for
Japan in the Red Sea by the Russian

Calls ON RUSSIA to Disavow Action OF
4. the smolensk.
Berlin, July 1s.--The German Govern
ment has taken a prompt and firm
stand in regard to the seizure of the
mails of the North German Lloyd
steamer Prince Heinrich, which arriv-
ed at Alden, July l6, from Hamburg and
Southampton for Yokohama, by the
Russian volunteer fleet steamer Smol-
ensk. July Is, having entered a pro-
test against the carrying off of the
mails. and asking for a dlsavowal of
the Smolensk's action and the return
of the captured mail sacks.
The German Government, the For
eign Once says, recognizes the right
to search mails when on board the ves-
sci itself, but claims the Smolensk had
no right to take off mails in bulk from
the vessel. The further argument is
advanced that the right of search can
only be exercised by a warship, where
as the Smolensk traversed the Darda-
nelles only recently flying the Russian
commercial flag, not assuming the
character of warship.
The German Government has not
taken a positive stand on this last
point. but leaves the question for flu
ture discussion and settlement. No
answer has yet been received from
Russia.
The recent publication by The Russ
of st. Petersburg, of statement that
Great Britain Is about to transfer Wei
Hal Wei to Germany in exchange for
a free hand in the Yang-tse Valley is
secuted at the Foreign Office, where it

New York of Mr.. Kern and of Mr.
Sheehan left the Judge alone. The
telephone at Rosemount was burned
out during the night, and telephone
communication with the Kingston ex-
change was impossible during the
afternoon. Judge Parker, accompanied
Mr.. Kern to the wharf where the latter
went away and after the boat was in
midstream took his morning plunge
into the river. Passengers on the boat
had seen him on the wharf when the
boat landed and crowded to the rails
to watch him until the wharf was hid
den from view.
No mails are received at Esopus on
Sunday and consequently Judge Par
wer's mail was larger today than II
has been since his nomination. The
Judge and his assistants were KEEP,
busy the entire morning answering let
tiers. vI
Among the kilograms received was
one from Champ Clark, permanent
chairman of the st. Louis convention
who sent his congratulations. Col
lectors Of autographs have beer
moderate in their requests, but their
number Is increasing daily.
In addition to his correspondence
Judge Parker's court work kept him
busy today. His opinions in court OF
appeals cases will completed as soor
as possible. Judge Parker's hay cror
has been damaged by the frequent
rains.
There were no visitors to- Rosemoun
to-day. very little of interest appeared
in the mail and nobody had word t.
say on the subject of politics. The day
was excessively hot. The tremendous
rain of the night and early morning
made the roads so muddy that Judge
Parker postponed his daily horesbaci
ride till afternoon and then shortened
II materially.
Suggestions of the political confer.
ence in New York appeared In unusua
activity of the judges telephone earl,
in the afternoon. but nothing coult
be learned as to whom he talked with
or the subject of the conversations.
Judge Parker declined to say any
thing about the published story tina
he had invited Charles F. Murphy, lead
err of Tammany Hall. to come to Rose
mount and that the latter had decIin
ed. There is good reason. however. t
regard the story as devoid of fact.
1t is well understood here that Judg,

the reunion of the E1ks reached over
$4,000 tonight while all OF the railways
were bringing In special trains and ex-
pecting their greatest influx tomorrow.
The grand opening tonight consisted
in elaborate fireworks on both sides OF
the Ohio River from Coney Island
twelve miles up the Ohio to the public
landing of this city. Two large steam
ers were chartered. The one used for
members OF the grand lodge with their
families and friends carried over two
thousands. the other for members Of the
press and others about 1000. As these
steamers returned from cruise to
Coney Island the twelve Kentucky
suburbs and the river front OF Cincin-
natl and its Ohio suburbs rivaled each
other in a pyrotechnic display.
The grand lodge will open with a
public session at 10 a. m. tomorrow
at Music Hail. preceded by an organ
recital and other musical numbers Fol-
lowing the addresses of welcome and
responses, the annual reports will be
presented and the election of officers
will end the animated contests that are
going on tonight for Grand Exalted

other Offices.
While there have been no material
changes during the day there is a very
hard fight being made by the field

Russia Informed I'm Advance of the
ID ftiah Intentions.

London, July 1S.-War Secretary
Frederick, made a statement in the
House of Commons to-day to the eff
feet that. with the view of preventing
misunderstanding. the government
informed Russia at the beginning of
June of Its policy in regard to Thibet.
1t was. however, obvious that the
British action must depend upon the
attitude of the Thibetans.
The government would not undertake
to depart in any eventuality from the
policy laid down in it's telegram to the
government of India, November 9.
1908. So long, however, as no other
power attempted to intervene in the
affairs of Thibet. Great Britain would
not attempt either to annex Thibet or
to establish a protectorate over that
country for the control of its internal
administration.

"a Russian force, apparently about
90, 900 strong. attacked the front, left
