Premier Balfour said he had been in

received orders in accordance with the
recent agreement concerning the treat
ment of neutral ships Therefore. in
accordance with the suggestion of the
British government, the Russian gov
eminent had authorized Great Britain
to assist in locating and notifying the
cruisers. In consequence Mr.. Balfour
announced the British government
had ordered two cruisers from the

mediately and search for and locate
the Smolensk and her consort and
convey to them the instructions from
further interference with neutral com

Regarding contraband of war Mr..
Balfour said it was difficult to define
clearly what was contraband of war.

ed the doctrine laid down with some

other things were absolutely contra

Mr.. Balfour said the shipping indus

tect the shipping interests.
Mr.. Balfour carefully reviewed the
cases of alleged differential treatment.
He said there was no evidence as vet
that fair treatment would not be melted
out to all. and that in his opinion the
cases cited hardly bore out the seri-
Gus contention of discrimination
against British shipping.

raisers of his section We're about to ap-
peal to President Roosevelt to save
them from bankruptcy by intervening
to bring the strike to a close. Shease
brought $40 head of cattle to the stock

of feeding them longer after having
had them in prime condition for some
time. He declares they sold at a loss
OF S8 head. considering their normal
value. Others, he said, are feeding
large herds at heavy loss, rather than
face perhaps greater losses by ship
ping. According to Gen. Shease, the
cattle raisers of the Dakotas are in
desperate condition.

turn of ]. Ogden Armour to Chicago,

Grief, He Says.

Grief, He Says.
Rome, Aug. 25.-Cardinal Satolli
went this afternoon to the Vatican to
visit the Pope for the first time since
his return from his visit to the United
States. Cardinal Satolli presented his
own homage to the Pontiff, the devo-
ton of the bishops and the American
clergy, and an expression of the affec-
ton of American Catholics for the
Pope, and told of the feeling of defer
ence shown by the non-Catholics.
His holiness said he was greatly
moved by such manifestations and
highly appreciated such a general dis
position toward loyalty on the part of
the people OF the United States, and
expressed great satisfaction with the
reception given Cardinal Satolli, which
he considers as having been given to
himself, adding:
ut is a consolation at this moment,
when others are causing me so much
grief"
In reply to question by his holi-
ness regarding the condition of Ca
tholicism in America, the Cardinal ex-
planned that the Catholic Church in
america has not any official relations
with the state, but is in such a con-
dition that it does not envy the posi-
tion of the church in countries where
such relations exist.
TO this statement the Pope replied:
Because in the United States there
is true liberty and justice for ALL"

London, Aug. 25.-Prime Minister Bal
four announced this evening that the
British government had ordered two
cruisers from the squadron at the Cape
of Good Hope without delay to locate
the Russian volunteer feet steamers
Smolensk and Petersburg and to con-
Vey to them the orders of the Russian
government that they must not further
interfere with neutral shipping. The
Premier stated that this action was
taken at the request of the Russian
government.
This extraordinary statement was
made when the Premier by appoint
ment received a deputation of the
London Chamber of Commerce.
Prior to receiving the deputation Mr.
Balfour during the day had been bust
ly engaged in connection with the
question which had been raised with
regard to Russian treatment of Brit
ish shipping. After giving a number
of private interviews the Premier held
an important meeting at the Foreign
once, to which representatives of the
Intelligence Department of the War
Office, the Admiralty, the Foreign Of
flee and the Board of Trade were sum-
moned.
To the deputation Mr.. Balfour said
that before making a general state
ment he desired to hear evidence to
show preferential treatment by Rus
STA, which was a most important phase
of the situation.
Members of the deputation quoted
the cases of the Portland and Asiatic
Line steamer Arabia and the British
steamer Catches. The former was al
lowed to proceed, while the latter was
still at VladiVostok, and the members
pointed out that both cases were equal
so far as the nature of the cargoes
was concerned.
The cargoes of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Malacca
and the Hamburg American Line
steamer Scandal were also quoted.
Each of the vessels had ammunition on
board, but the Scandal was allowed to
proceed.
The deput2Ion next referred to the
sinking of the British steamer Knight
Commander and the German steamer

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
BROKE HIS WORD.

Roosevelt Said When He Took His
Oath of Office He Merely Would
Fill McKinIey's Office and Not
Look for the NOminatiOn-Later.
While on the Train With McKin-
Iey's Body, He Changed His Mind
About That.
Binghamton. N. Y, Aug. 25.-For-
mer Senator David B. Hill opened the
campaign in Broome county to-day in
a speech at the Agricultural Fair at
Deposit, In the course of his address,
Mr.. Hill touched upon the tariff ques-
ton, saying that he believed in an hon
est revision of the tariff laws so that
vast corporate interests should not be
subeerved to the detriment of the peo-
pie. Referring to the financial inter-
ests of the country. Mr.. Hill said:
THE gold standard has been irrev-
ocably established, so that there is no
necessity for a change. The Demo-
cratic party, which established the
present currency system, can safely be
trusted whenever the necessity shall
arise to make such changes for the
best interests of the people"
Speaking of the essential differences
between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties the speaker said the diff
ference is that the Republican party
stands for private purposes, and the
Democratic party for public purposes.
Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican
candidate for the presidency" declared
Mr.. Hill, lis a fraud. At the time he
took his oath of office in Buffalo after
the assassination of President McKin-
ley, he declared in public that he would
simply fill McKinley's place; that he
would not look for denomination. Later,
on the same train with McKinley's
dead body, he gave out a statement to
the press, to the effect that he thought
he had been misunderstood by the pub
lie, which meant practically that he
was a candidate for denomination. The
Republicans had him on their hands
and could do nothing but renominate
him."
