London, July 2.-(London Times)
The London Times insurance expert,
commenting on the presence of the
Vladivistok squadron in Japanese wa

cipal interest of the day centers in
the big steamers known to be near
Japan on their way from Pacific ports
in the United States. These are

ivostok cruisers. 1t was reported last
evening that the Holt steamer Cal
chas had actually been captured. She
is vessel of 4,279 tons and has pro-
visions from Tacoma for japan on
board. The demand for her re-insur-
ance war risks came from America
where it is believed she had been
originally written.
"The American steamer Shawmut
continues to excite much attention.
She also sailed from Tacoma with
provisions for Yokohoma.
Another big American steamer

BOYLAN
Undergoes a Second
Operation.

The victim of the race riot" of June
IL, Clifford Boylan, who has been i'm
proving nicely for the past few weeks
from the effects of the bullet wound
suffered severe relapse on Sunday
evening. The attending physicians
held conversation Monday morning
and decided that an operation was
necessary to relieve the patient. The
operation was performed at / D. m,
and one of the right ribs below the
clavicle was resected to reach the abs
cess which had formed in the right
pleural cavity.
When Boylan was first shot an open
ing was left near the right lobe of the
liver for drainage, but recently this
proved to be inadequate to carry off
the corruption of the liver and the abs
cess formed. Nearly two quarts Of
pus ran off during the operation.
This was a great relief to the patient
and ne has since improved greatly. His
chances for recovery are considered
good.
Although the bullet which has been
causing the trouble has not been 10
Gated it is the supposition that 1t
struck the spine and glanced off,
lodging in one Of the muscles fof the
back.

will rebuild and continue to operate in
Canton. The proper contract was
signed Wednesday morning whereby
their continuance is made certain.
Within 1897, all the money required
to be raised for the purchase has been

the rest. Besides the improving and
enlarging of the shops the land is

world. Besides. IL robs men OF the actual rights

thing we could have in a country or State having
a republican form OF government.
Notwithstanding these utterances. Mr.. Com
pers is also quoted saying:

Union Ia Dor win by force. II must begin a
campaign OF education. and business methods must
be used dealing with business If trades
unionism hopes to progress, 1t cannot be done by
force. Violence will not bring about the right
result. II is not the true American spirit to go in

Cochran flashed brilliantly impalng David B.

In the end Tammany accepted the will Of
the majority. Early I'm the speech OF Senator
Grady the lack Of real opposition to Chief
Judge Parker developed. To his reputation
and availability both Cochran and Grady paid
tribute, and the issue OF instructions alone
made the battle. At the very end. when the
