NOW FOR
 BUSINESS c. A. R. Holds Four Conventions.
Veteran Hosts at Boston Turn Aside Pleasure to Transact Work Wo- mems Relief Corps Hold Important Gathering in Fremont Temple.

Boston, Aug 1.-The Grand Army of the Republic and the affiliated or ganizations went into convention to- day to transact the business arising as one of the most important features of the national encampment week The meetings of the various bodies gave promise of unusual interest, for one reason, because of the existing spirited though friendly contests for the different offices. The accredited delegates to the c. A. R. convention numbering between 1900 and 1,4O0 assembled in Symphony hall early in the forenoon. The reports of the of fcers were expected in the early part of the proceedings, with the proba- bility that the election would not come until tomorrow.
 No fewer than four national con- ventions were called to order today in the Fremont temple building. Most important of these was the conyen- tion of the National Woman's Relief corps, which was held in Fremont temple auditorium. The other meet ings were those of the Ladies of the G. A. R., the National Daughters of Veterans and the Ladies' Aid society, auxiliary to the Sons of Veterans. hoI1iA 1uOLlCA COAFCAIIOu IO US OpeHOu today was that of the National Order of the Sons of Veterans held at Bos- ton university.
 The first session of the 22nd nation al convention of the Woman's Relief Corps was called to order at 9:3O a. m. by the national president, Mrs Sa- rah D. Winans of Troy, in Converse hall, Fremont temple. The room was profusely decorated in the national. colors. The convention was opened with prayer by the national chaplain, Mrs Mary IL. Reynolds of Kentucky.
 Mrs Winans' annual address dwelt mainly with patriotic instruction, which she said had been tine domin- ant work of the year. Never before in the history of the world, she de clared, had so many flags been foased while humane teaching and peace and arbitration continue to be a part of patriotic instruction in which the United States is leading among the nations of the earth.
 There is great interest in the con- test for national president Mrs Fan ny E. Minot of New Hampshire is considered the leading candidate, al- though Mrs Julia G. Sine of Illinois is prominently mentioned, as well as Mrs Mary E. HartweI of California.
 Mrs Clara Sparkhn of Missouri and Mrs Mary N. Farr of South Dakota are candidates for senior vice presi- dent. There are no contests for the other important offices.

FIGHT. NOT SURRENDER.

St Petersburg, Aug IT (12:56 p. m.) )-- The announcement of the mikado' s offer to allow non-combatants to leave Port Arthur, coupled with the demand for the surrender of the garrison, causes a revulsion of feeling here. The original report that non-combatants would be permitted to depart before the storming operations began was re- garded as a humane and considerate act. The war office is without official confirmation of the summons served upon General Stoessel but not the slightest idea exists in military cirles that he will yield so long as food and ammunition hold out, without fight, even to protect defenseless women and other non-combatants from the hor. TOTS of bombardment.
 "General Stoessel, as an indepen- dent commander, would have a perfect right under the Russian military Tegu- Iations to surrender at discretion ,' said a member of the general staff to the correspondent of the Associated Press ssbut it may safely be assumed that a man of Stoessers temper will not create new precedent in Russian history. Our military annals do not show a single case where q command er yielded a fortress upon the demand of the enemy in order to avoid fight. Sebastopol was taken by storm

 Japan proposes to recognize the neu- trality of China only so far as it is respected by Russia. With regard to the Ryeshitelni, Japan is determined not to comply with China's demand for the return of the captured vessel to Chefoo, as submitted to China by Russia Japan insists that to all in- tents and purposes Chefoo has been Russian base during the war. Chi nese junks have been fitted out there and sent through the Japanese block ading fleet into Port Arthur.

New Haven Heads 10 Fall Into the Basket of
 Fate.

New Haven. August 17.-No evi. dence of corruption in the police de partment of this city, is the chief find ing in the report of the Investigating commission, submitted to Mayor Stud ley this noon. Tn substance the com mission agrees that there has been no corruption, but there has been a great diregard for the rules which forbid members from mingling in poli- ties. The commission also reports that the efficiency of the department can be greatly improved.

Chicago, Aug 17.-Compe i'll the first round of match play of the western golf championship at Exmoor links was not begun until late to-day to permit the golfers who had failed in yesterdays qualifying round to play for qualifying places in the North Shore cup, a subordinate tro- phy. Weather conditions to-day were ideal.
 By nfghtfall the contestants will have been eliminated to sixteen. Some interesting matches are being played, and if the first round passes without important upsets, it seems likely that former National Champion Louis N.

BOARD OF SAFETY.
Held an Early Afternoon Session
 To-Day.

The department of public safety met this afternoon, Mayor Elton pre- siding and all the members being present except Commissioners Driggs and Van Keuren.
 Architect Theodore B. Peck submit ted plans for the proposed new fire house in the northwestern section of the city and the board devoted some time to discussion as to whether it would be better to build single or double house The mayor thought that for quick service the house would not be of much benefit to any other section of the city and was of the opinion that 1t would not be wise to go to the expense of putting up a, double house. He had a notion that would insure better fire protection than larger ones too far removed from each other. Chief Snagg and MT Daily favored the double house and while MT Beach didn't commit him self it was plain that he wanted the big one, even though it might be found necessary to let a part of the work stand until next year. The mat ter went over until the next meeting.
 A communication was received from the Village Improvement club or Simonsyille and Hopeville stating that they had plans under way for the organization of volunteer fire de pertinent and asking if they could loan Jumper from the city. The chief was authorized to let them have the apparatus not in use at the Brook lyn engine house.
 A communication was received from Rose Hill Go, No 5, asking that the date for the annual inspection Of the police and fire departments be fixed for September, or some other Saturday in that month, so that they might be able to conduct picnic af- ter the parade. It was tabled with out comment.
 Frank H. Mordo, engineer of Steamer No 1 at the Burton street house, rendered his resignation. It was accepted Chief Snagg said he knew of nobody in the department competent to fill his place. The ap- pointment of a successor to MT Mordo went over.
 communication was received from Captain Dodds of the Leaven worth street house stating that Driver Edward Kane sprained his ankle while on duty and was off eight days. The board voted to pay his doctors bill of $6. He alsorecefved full pay It was also voted to pay the doctors bills of Charles Riley, who was in- jured by falling from ladder at the Brooklyn house.
 The pay rolls were approved, after which it was voted to adjourn subject to the call of the committee having ill charge the preparation of plans for tAe new engine house.

SENSATION IN CITY COURT
Attorney Durant Incensed by Ruling of Iudge Threatens to Withdrew

Incensed at the action of Judge Peasley in rendering decision
 against him in the M. A. Dougherty vs D. H. Mulcahy case this afternoon, Attorney H, R. Durant arose and ad- dressing the court said: T wish to withdraw as counsel in this case. l
 do not care to practice law dn this
 manner. I cannot conscientfously go on with the case under the circumt stances" The remarks caused a sensation among those present in the court. It was just another reminder of the brotherly love which Attorney Durant and Judge Peasley cherish toward each other
 The case being tried was that of Mrs M. A. Dougherty vs D. H. Null cahy. Mrs Dougherty wishes to se- cure possession of the Broadway ho- tel, which she owns. MT Mulcahy has an eight years lease of the hotel, but she wished him to be removed be- cause he has not paid the rent for several months MT Mulcahy admits that he has not paid the rent, but claims that Mrs Dougherty has not made certain repairs which she agreed to make, and therefore he will not pay any rent until they are made. When the case was called before Judge Peasley and jury to-day At tormey Durant asked permission to file an amended answer. Attorney Du- rant in behalf of Mrs Dougherty saM that the opposing counsel had had plenty of time to file 1t. Judge Peas1ey then ruled against the filing of the answer and Attorney Durant made his sensational remarks about withdrawing. Attorney Carmody ob- jected to his withdrawal at this late stage and Judge Peasley ruled that he would have to continue unless his client could secure other counsel right away, Mr Durant then decided to continue, and work of finding the sixth juror, only i've being present, was begun.

WORK STOPPED.
Work on Cheshire End of Trolley Line Stopped
 for the Present.

Deputy Sheriff William Gillette drove to Cheshire last night and placed an attachment upon the wagons, tools, horses and equipment of the Walther-B Burke Construction Co of Pfttsburg, Pa, to whom was let the sub-contract for the work on the Che shire end of the extension of the local trolley lines to that town. The att tachment was made in the interests of F. T. Ley & Co, who was awarded the contract for the work and sub1et it to the Walther-B Burke Go. On account of the attachment the work on the Cheshire end has been stopped tempo rarily, but it will be resumed again in a few days, as some settlement of the trouble will be reached.
 For the past two or three weeks the laborers employed by the Walther> Burke Go have not been receiving any pay. There has been much dissa tis- faction and some talk of strike. To make matters worse the general man. ager disappeared and the men thought lie had skipped with their money. k. T. Ley x Go heard these reports about the men not being paid and other things and as it had advanced money to the Walther- Burke Go to pay for the job, decided to place an attach ment upon the company's stock. When asked in regard to the trouble to-day, Harry Ley said: 'fYes, we have had a little trouble and have placed an at tachment upon the company's property in order to protect ourselves. We do not believe that there has been any crooked work and think matters will be righted in a few days. But we wish to find out how we stand. If the company is unable to fulfill its contract we will do the work our selves. As to the general manager skipping away, I am informed that he is at the home office in Pittsburg ar ranging some financial matters. There are some things about the trouble which I do not care to have published tigate"
