Fall River, Mass, July 22.-The SEN
timent displayed by the cotton mill
operatives of this city following their
vote of about s to / in favor of strik.
ing next Monday against the 12R pei
cent reduction in wages, seems more
bitter against the manufacturers than
at any time in recent years. Under
the restrictions of secrecy prior td
their meeting the operatives had not
been generally outspoken. With thu
removal of that bar torrent OF indig'
nation has been released and there Ia
now no doubt in the minds of citizeni
that the action in joining the strike,
If it takes place next Monday, will bl
nearly unanimous among the 3O,00I

The general sentiment seems to be
one of sympathy for the operatives.
The gravity of the situation is recog.

ERNMENT STORES.

st. Petersburg. July 22.-The Asso
ciated Press has an excellent reason
for stating that Russia will yield in
the Malacca case, release the steamer
In accordance with the British demand
and express regret at her detention.
The exact status of the case at pres
ent is as follows:
Count Benckendorff, the Russian am.
bassador to Great Britain. has asked
of Lord Lansdowne official assurance
that the munitions on board were Brit.
ish government stores. If this is given
orders will instantly be issued to re,
lease the vessel At the same time
Great Britain will be notified that
ships stopped by Russia whose mani.
tests are not in order will be held.
Russia will maintain the legality OF
the status OF the Smolensk and st. Pc
tersburg as warships. They are under
the orders of the admiralty and were
commissioned by the admiralty's in.
strnctions. Under the regulations OF
the volunteer fleet Russia claims that
ships belonging thereto can be con.
yerted into warships without previous
notice, upon orders from the admt
rally.
The suggestion is made that if Great
Britain persists in raising the issue
of the status of the volunteer fleet
cruisers now in the Red sea, Russia
will offer to refer the case TO the ar
bitration tribunal at The Hague.

WILL RECTiFY ANY MISTAKE
RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO LON
DON CONFERS WITH FOR
EIGN SECRETARY.

London. July 22.-The Associated
the Russian ambassador, at a confer.
ence with Foreign Secretary Lans.
dOwne. made what may be considered
to be preliminary reply to the Brit.
ish protest against the seizure of the
steamer Malacca. He assured the
foreign secretary that his government
had no intention of infringing on the
rights OF Great Britain or any other
neutral power and that If mistake
had been made in the seizure of the
Malacea unquestionably the steamer
will Immediately be restored and dam
ages would be paid.
The ambassador pointed out that 1t
was unreasonable to suppose that the
Malacca had been seized without the
commander Of the st. Petersburg hav-
Ing good grounds to believe that she
had cOntraband on board Unless this
suspicion is effectually disproved the
matter will have to go before prize
court, which procedure Great Britain
herself follows.
In the meantime Russia will make
full investigation In order to establish
definitely the grounds on which the
commander acted. The ambassador
also informed Lord Lansdowne that he
had telegraphed the British protest
to st. Petersburg and said 1t would re-
ceive the immediate attention OF the
emperor and Count Lamsdorff. Suisse
Quently Count BeckendOrff informed
Lord Lansdowne that inquiries were
at once begun and that prompt reply
would be made.

Annual Meeting of Stockholders OF
the Northern Pacific.


the Northern Pacific.
New York, July 22.-The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Northern Pacific Railway company.
which has been adjourned from time
to time since October, 1908, has been
adjourned indefinitely. In explanation
Daniel S. Lamont, vice president OF
the company, issued statement in
which he said that the continuation
of the injunction granted on the ap-
plication of Messrs. Hartman and
Pierce, trustees, which prohibits the
distribution of stock owned by the
Northern Securities company, makes
1t impossible to meet the requirements
of the charter of the Northern Pacific
company, which prohibits the transac-
tion of any business at stockholders
meetings unless majority of the out
standing stock is present and voting.
Much more than majority of stock
Is owned by and registered in the
name Of the Northern Securities com
pany and under the decree of the
United States court such stock SO reg
istered is prohibited from voting.
AS long as the recent Injunction pre-
walls there can be no distribution to
its shareholders by the Northern Sc
curities company and no valid meet
ing of the Northern Pacific stockhold-
ers can be held.

Paris. July 22.-The French govern

averting an Anglo-Russian crisis. Its
action is not by the exercise OF friend
ly offices, but by more effective
means. Foreign Minister Delcasse Is
making friendly representations tt
Count Lamsdorff. the Russian foreign
minister. The exact nature of M. Del
casse's representations Is not disclos

template the release OF the Malacca

to prevent the affair from assuming
grave proportions.
