CATASTRGP, E { sIEh
STEAM YACHT CAsTANET, LOADED
 WITH PASSENGERS, AFIRE.
Those On Board are Transferred to An other Vessel. and Afterwards the Flames are Subdued
 By Crews.

Clayton, N. Y, July 22.-The steam yacht Castanet. of the Virgo Line, re- turning from Kingston, Ont, this af- ternoon with 150 excursionists, caught fire in midstream and only by the most fortunate circumstances was an awful accident averted.
 The yacht was four miles from King ston and q half a mile from shore, d stiffening breeze was blowing and the passengers were enjoying the ride when suddenly sheet of flame shot up through the batchways. The pas seDgers at once ran to the ends of the boat. The flames swept up to the canvass awnings and in a moment these were ablaze. While the passengols were huddled forward and aft the en- gineer and fireman made their way through the flames from the engine preservers to the passengers. began to fight the blaze.
 Captain Barney Nunn headed the ed by the steam yacht Nokamis be- longing to w. H. Nicholas of New York, which was a mile away when the fire broke out. The burning boat was beached on Cedar Island and in a moment the Nokamis was run behind her. The passengers were transferred without the loss C< life and the fire was extinguished by the united efforts of both crews. Engineer Charles Wood and his son, the fireman. were both badly burned, but will recover.
 The cause of the accident was all explosion of gas in the fire box which threw the hot coals out into the en- zine room and down the saileys.

DECLARATION OF GORMAN.
With Sheehan's Attitude. Taggart
 Seems to He FavOrite.

Esopus, N Y, July 2A--The informa- ton reached here to-day that Senator Arthur P German, of Maryland, can not be induced to alter his determina- tion not to undertake the cases of man. aging the campaign and Judge Parker was informed by the Associated Press of the dispatch from Washington that he had reiterated his declaration that some younger man should be chosen.
 William F. Sheehan, who was choice of many eastern leaders, was with Judge Parker at the time. He was asked whether he would now permit his name to go before the meeting of the national committee. to be held at the Hoffman House in New York Tues day next and .. piled laughingly, "Oh, nobody wants me for chairman"
 Then seriously he discussed briefly his own position. making 1t plain that he has not allowed his name to be con sidered by the party leaders and that he stands firm in his refusal to serve as manager of the campaign. From his attitude he no longer can be re- garded as a possibility. August Bel mont also has asserted that he will not accept an active part in the campaign management and thus Mir Taggart Is the only one of those put forward for the chairmanship who is left in the race.
 Leaders in the party who have visit ed Rosemount have said several times that the selection of a chairman would be the unhampered duty of the nation al committee. Similar utterances have come from prominent Democrats who have come from recent conferences in New York and the possibility remains that out of the uncertainty may be brought some candidate. heretofore not mentioned, who could at once draw the support of all factions.
 While it was known that those who have remained silent. preferred to learn the wishes of Judge Parker be- fore committing themselves to any can didate. 1t was certain that they would be for the man the leaders advance for the chairmanship. If MT. Taggart Is that man they will support him. but at the same time they may have some candidate to urge for recognition.
 At Rosemount no apprehension Is felt because of Senator Germans dec laration. He has attended the New York conferences and has taken a hearty interest in the campaign. Ccver and over again he has said he would do anything in his power for party success and whoever is selected for

CAPTURED VESSEL IS

Will Be Examined Jointly by English and Russian
 COnSulS.
Tn eCzar From the First Was Anxious that Any Internal Friction Should Be Avoided-QuestiOn of the Open DardaneIles Yet
 Unsettled.

St. Petersburg, July 22-The steam CT Nalacca is at Suda Bay, Island of ,~rete, where under the agreement reached between Great Britain and Russia, she will be inspected jointly by the consuls of the two countries and released together with her cargo unless palpable contraband of war for Japan shall be found. in which case the contraband will be held. British government stores will not be exam ined.
 From the very first the authorities here were convinced that the captain of the Russian volunteer fleet steamer St. Petersburg must have had good roason for seizing the Malacca as a prize and his report stating that the produce the ships manifest seems to have justified their confidence.
 Skipper of the MaIacca.
 There is reason to believe that had the fact been known in advance that the Malacca's skipper took upon him self the responsibility of questioning the war status of the St. Petersburg and had denied the Russian waNSlag. contrary to international law, which evidently came as complete surprise to the British government that na- tion might not have acted as 1t did. In spit of this development, however. Russia adopted a most conciliatory at titude. The emperor himself was de- sirous of avoiding the slightest pre- text for a quarrel. and personally gave orders to settle the matter promptly
 According to a very high authority Russia has conveyed assurances that there would be no repetition of tho Red Sea incidents.
 How the collateral questions grow ing out of the incidents will be reg ulated has not yet been disclosed here; There is no talk of an international conference at this time to discuss in- ternational commerce, but Diplomats here believe that such a conference to discuss this as well as new questions raised by the warlike. use of wireless teiegrapay, etc, shcsda be heid-

BloosS. s' Chicago, July 22.--The first riotins of the day in the renewed meat cutters strike came when a man, Frank Miller. was set upon by a crowd of strike sympathizers. They beat him so badly that at the Englewood Union hospital, where he was taken, 1t was said he had little chance of recovery. Miller was set upon in front of Armour & Co. s plant, and after he had been kicked almost to death. he was found by pe- destrians, who sent for a physician It was found that Miller's skull was frac- tured arS. his jaw broken.
 Further trouble came when Josenh Younyeps, employed at Nelson. Morris e Company's plant, was taken out of the yards to be cared for by a physi- clan. The doctor, after attending the man, whose knee was injured by a fall Ing skid. called an ambulance to have the sufferer taken back into the com pany's improvised hospital in the yards.

With drawn revolvers two policemen ard the doctor declaring to the strike sympathizers that tho wounded man was a fellow unionist Help soon came from the stockyards police station.
 This afternoon news was received that messages to overtake Mayor Har- rison at Marquette, Mich, had failed to reach him. The mayor had left on tug trip of eighty miles for Huron mountain. The tug. which leaves three times week. is the only connection ordinarily between the mayors destf- nation and the outside world. Ar engagements were at once made to send tug after the mayor making it pos sible for him to return to Chicago to- morrow evening, which he will doubt less do unless something transpires in the meantime to relieve the situation.
 Reports were current this afternoon that the packers had decided to yield no whit to the strikers and to meet continued warfare with a compIete shut down of the killing department until such time as sufficient expert non union forces could be obtained to operate on the large normal scale.

 Reply.
 Bedford, Pa, July 22.-Senator Da- wis. since his arrival at Bedford Springs Hotel last night. has been busy pre- pairing his notification address. and has refused to see representatives of the press, saying that he had not come to Bedford Springs to talk politics, but to rest. Senator Davis has not decid- ed when or where he will receive his notification, but 1t will be either at White Sulphur Springs or Elkins. w. Va.
 Mir Davis has been in the habit of spending several weeks at this resort each summer and he will not change his time -honored custom this year. He has had several of his turnouts brought here and expects to do a great deal of riding and driving. He is very fond of horseback riding and heretofore while here has taken his ride every morning.
 When Senator Davis arrived at the Bedford Springs Hotel last night after greeting his friends. he walked to the lobby as briskly as a man of forty. He Is the picture of health and one who does not know him would mistake him for a man of but little more than half his age.
 Other prominent Democrats here are Colonel James M Guffey of Pittsburg; Judge George Gray of Wilmington. Del; Hugh M. North of Columbia, Pa. i: A. J. Spangler of Bellefoqte, a member of the State executive committed; May or Vance Mccormack of Harrisburg, and others.
 Colonel Guffey inclines to the opinion that Taggart of Indiana, will be the national chairman chosen when the committee meets at New York next Tuesday.
 A reception was rendered Senator Davis by the guests of the Bedford Springs Hotel and townspeople to- night.

 Morning and Something
 May Be Done.

Fall River, Mass, July 22.--Through the good offices and prompt action of the State Board of Cancellation and Ar b:tration, there seems tonight to De a ray of hope for an amicable se.tlc- ment of the controversy between the cotton mill manufacturers and their employees. who Wednesday night voted to go on strike next Monday mornin-, rather than submit to a F 1-2 per cent. reduction, in wages.
 Such strike would involve more than 30,000 operatives. This afternoon the secretaries of the five unions and representatives of the managers met in conference with the Arbitration Board.
 At the outset 1t was plain that both parties to the controversy were equal ly determined as to the merits of their respective cases.
 The Two Sides.
 The representatives of the operatives told what they wanted briehy-the abandonment of the proposed wage re- duction. The mill officials on the oth- CT hand stated concisely why the re- duction was necessary from a financial standpoint. "A
 The Arbitration Board then confer red separately with each committee and later the two bodies met in joint conference again and .threshed out the whole matter. This last meeting con- tinued well into the evepings
 At it's conclusion President .Howland of the Arbitration Board said that, the demands of the textile workers would be considered by all the nlanufacturers at meeting to be held at s2e o'clock tomorrow morning.

sURMIsE OF RUSSIANS.
Army Organ Gives It's View of the
 Japanese Intentions.


 St. Petersburg, July 22.-The army organ evidently believes that the Jap anese are preparing for general ad- vance from the East against the Rus sian left The paper estimates the Jap anese purpose as follows:
 "The probable object of the Japanese advance is to move into the Liao river valley which is north of our position at Zanzem Pass in order to occupy more favorable position in the forward movement of the main army, which IS posted along the Molten, Lakhoesta Pan passes, with front ten miles to the south of the Saitmatzsa -Liaoyang road. The advantage of the delay con- sists in the possibility afforded of en- dangering our communications north of Liao Yang and the f1anking of Lieuten- ant General Count Keller's army in the north.
 ed by the Japanese still further north of Siamatsza-L -Liaoyang road the army organ considers that the Japanese op- erations there and the superiority of their forces at Molten Pass, as shown fin the engagement of July IT. prove that there have been great changes in the numerical composition of the Japanese forces, and adds:
 Undoubtedly the newly formed re- serve units have been sent from Ja- pan to strengthen the armies and some of the Japanese forces are being brought north from Siu Yen. It is not improba ble that the Japanese intend to make an attempt to occupy Lieuten- ant General Count Keller's position at Zanze Pass, which would render it much more difficult for him to take the offensive.
 But it is scarcely possible that the Japanese intends with this column to advance upon Liao Yang or Mukden. Such a move would be extremely dan gerous without previous victory on the Liao Yang high road and would call for the deployment of very large forces. for which the Saitmatsza-L -Liao- yang road is not suitable"
