HELD up BY JAPENESE
British Steamer Loaded With Lumber
Taken to Hal<odate.

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-The Mer-
chants Exchange has received a cable
message from London stating that the
British steamer Crusader. bound from
Oregon ports for the far east, has been
captured by the japanese and taken
to Hakodate.
The cruiser left from Astoria. Ore
gon, September 2, bound for Shanghai.
Portland, Ore, Sept. 24.-The Brit
ish steamer Crusader, reported cap
tured by the Japanese and taken to
Hakodate cleared from this port Aug
ust 81 with 2,SS0,654 feet of lumber
and 5000 bundles of lath. Her cargo
was valued at $26.650. The vessel
was under charter to the Pacific EX-
port Lumber company and was con-
signed to merchants in Shanghai and
Taku.
At the office of the Pacific Export
Lumber company no reason for the
reported seizure could be ascertained-
The vessel was loaded with a neutral
cargo, consigned to neutral ports and
sailed under a neutral flag. A large
portion of her cargo was consigned
to the Paul Brunei company at Tien
The vessels route would take her very
close to Hakodate and it is surmised
here that the vessel was merely
stopped from the ordinary course by
the Japanese fleet engaged in exam
lining the papers and cargo of the neu-
trail vessels in the far eastern waterrs
The British Crusader is owned by
the E1skside Steamshipping company,
limited of WILDLY, England.

Locke, of Kansas, to Help Or
ganize Dissatisfied Democrats.
Will Have Branches in Every
County of Northern States.
INVADE THE SOUTH.
Plan Is to Prepare for Cam
paign of 1906.
Ten Thousand Names Said to Be
Enrolled Already.

Chicago. Sept. 24.-The Anti-Parker
National League, with the object OF
enlisting every Democrat opposed to
the Democratic presidential nominee,
has just been organized in Chicago. 1t
is announced that the leagde will have
branches in every county in the north
ern states and a good many of the
southern. Among the officers are. Sec
retary George P. Locke, former chair
man of the Kansas state executive
committee.
The objects of the league as outlined
by Locke are:
To get I'm touch with every Democrat
who is opposed to the election of Par
ker: to work against the undemocratic
element that controlled the st. Louis
convention; to reorganiZe the Demo
cratic party so that it will be in po-
sition TO elect a Democratic candidate
when one of Democratic principles is
nominated.
1t was said that the names of 10000
disaffected had already been secured.
George P. Locke was formerly a
Wichita newspaper man, and became 4
protege of j. G. johnson, formerly
Democratic national committeeman
from Kansas johnson pushed him tof-
ward and gave him work to do in con-
nection with the national committee
Last spring Locke was one of the chief
Hearst supporters in Kansas. When
the reorganization came he was left out
or possibly he refused to go in. At
any rate he has been at outs with the
Parker Democrats and there have been
rumors floating around that he would
come out for Roosevelt. He seems,
however, to be doing his work in the
ranks of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Locke will undoubtedly find
many followers in the former Bryan
states. There are a good many anti
Parker Democrats in Kansas at any
rate They do not count here, though,
except for the influence their numbers
may have over Bryan Democrats in the
close states. Possibly Mr.. Locke may
have a better thing in running an anti
Parker Democratic league than in be-
ing high mogul in the Democratic
national committee.
