Examination of Men in New York
 Shows Large Number Afflicted.
 New York. June 2.-As the result of the discovery that a number of New York'a street sweepers have fellen vic tins to consumption by inhaling germs while performing their duties, Street Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury has begun a careful medical examination of each of the men employed in his de- partment for the purpose of ascertain ing what percentage of them is infect ed with tuberculosis. He has obtained the services of six physicians connect ed with the department of health, sup plemented by four of the medical in- spectors employed in his own depart ment. It is said the results of the ex- aminations during the past two days indicate that the number afflicted with lung trouble will probably ba consider ably less than one-third of the 6,000 men employed in the department In cases where he finds that men who are suffering from this disease can be re- stored to health if thesn could be sent away to the mountains for a time, Dr. Woodbury has determined to send them to the Adirondacks.

JUDGE BALDWIN MAKES
 A PEACE PROPOSITION
ONE FOR SETTLEMENT OF AN-
 GLo-AMERICdN DISPUTES.

Would Have Permanent and Definite
 Tribunal Selected in Advance of All
 Controversies, King Edward to
 States President the English Justices
 from Hague Tribunal.
 Mohonk Lake, June 2--Judge Simeon D. Baldwin, of the supreme court of Connecticut, made an interesting and valuable suggestion at the Lake Mo- honk peace conference to-day regard ing the use of The Hague tribunal by England and the United States. Each country has four distinguished jurists as it's representatives in that court. Let King Edward, he said, choose one of the American and our president select one of the English representative and let these decide which shall be chief justice of court of five, to which for five years all disputes between the Un- tied States and England shall be re- ferred. King Edward will choose two more American judges and the United States will choose two more English judges. For the next five years the chief justice shall be represented by the first chief justice. Thus we should have permanent and definite tribun- al, selected in advance of all contro- versies.
 John D. L. Findlay of Baltimore, dis cussed the question, What would hap pen if a country refused to abide by an adverse decision of an international court of arbitration? Are we to an- ticipate a necessary war? It would be much better that a war be waged be- lieved no such alternative to be neces- sary, but thought that the highest con- science of a civilized nation would al- ways enforce the decree of the tribunal, and that there would never be a need for war. John B. Henderson, jr., of Washington, pictured the delays and vexatious hindrances in the way of the constitution of The Hague arbitration court and urged the establishment of a and in session.
 w. W. Seward spoke of the more than twenty controversies between Great Britain and the United States, which in the past century had been set tied by arbitration. Ills considered the prospects for a permanent peace be- tween the two countries most excel lent.
 Edwin D. Mead said that we could now appeal to the fact that within the last century two hundred disputes had been settled by arbitration and in no case had any nation rejected a judg- ment so rendered.

London, June 3.-Telegrams from diff ferent points seem to confirm the ru- 'mors that General Kuropatkin is at- Tempting diversion in the direction of Port Arthur. Russian endorsements, according to dispatch from Tlen Tsin, are moving southward from Kaiping towards Wafangtien under General 5talkenberg. They comprise battery Df artillery, four Siberian regiments and company of Cossacks, aggregat- Ing 12,000 men. Another brigade is fol- lowing, the intention being to engage he Japanese now attacking Port Ar hur in the rear.
 The Standards correspondent at Tien rsin, sending the same news, says: " The Russian force in the engagement t Wafangtien on May 30 is supposed D have been formed of four Siberian Regiments, which were reported to have left Tachiachao on May 28, being the rst portion of relieving column for ort Arthur. The railway is fairly in- Nact from the north to Wafangtien, but
 completely destroyed from there to ulantien. The Japanese are uncon- erned over this demonstration, being pnvinced that it will be impracticable Pr the Russians to move a sufficient Free to prove effective.
 #These reports are received with a cer- in measure of scepticism in London. ne belief here is that if General Kuro- fttkin is undertaking such a desperate l love he can only be doing so in defer ce to the strongest political pressure Id against his own judgment.
 No further news of any kind has been ceived about the movements of the panese forces. Both Generals Ku-

DESPERATE EFFORT TO
 BREAK THE DEADLOCK
ATTEMPT OF ILLINOIS REPUB-
 LICAN-LEADERS FAIL.

Resolution Adopted Releasing Dele
 gates from Instructions-This Re Lowden Which Toward the End He Was Getting Baclr-EfRort to stam-
 pede Police Prevent Free-for-AIi
 Fight.
 Springfield. H., June "A desperate effort on the part of the leaders to break the deadlock in the republican state convention failed to-day, and this evening the assemblage took recess until tomorrow without having nomi- mated candidate for governor.
 The attempt to bring about the break was spectacular. Congressman Walter Reeves, chairman of the com mittee on resolutions, and Chairman Cannon engineered the plan, which was made possible by the action of the com mittee on resolutions recommending the adoption of the resolution offered yes terday to the effect that the delegates be released from instructions. Mir. Reeves called upon the candidates, one by one. to come before the convention and express their opinions. Each de- clared in favor of the resolution.
 Chairman Cannon eioquently pleaded with the degeates to break the dead lock. He declared that the delegates .c< see a<x to the fact that the convention by it's |inaction was injuring the republican party, not only in Illinois, but in the en- tire nation.
 Let's adopt this resolution" he said, land then nominate a ticket, and let's do it to-day"
 There was not vote against the res- |olution, but when the roll was called on the sixty-seventh ballot there was no substantial change from the ballots of the previous day. On the next ballot taken before the noon recess, a number of uninstructed delegates voted for Judge Lawrence Y. Sherman, whose speech before the convention had made la good impression. He received eighty votes.
 At the afternoon session of the con- |vention the long expected break from Yates to Lowden came. Lowden got the lvote of Speaker Cannons district, as Iwell as the votes of several other counties and some scattering delegates.
 For several ballots his vote increased, isuntil it reached a total of 6S1 1-2. Then the tide turned and on the closing ball lot--the seventy -eighth--his vote had dropped to 5S2 1-2. It requires 752 to nominate.
 Yates lowest vote during the day was 362 and his closing vote was 405- There was no material change in the vote of the other candidates. Much excitement prevailed during the afternoon session. Lowden spouters started several demonstrations in eff forts to stampede the convention. When Lowden began to fall back. the Yates people began demonstration and let down from the. girders a great
 banner bearing the words Hold the fort.'
 Chairman Cannon ordered it taken
 down and a dozen ready hands, led by Sheriff Ben Brainerd, tore it from it's fastenings and threw the wreckage among the Morgan county delegation of Yates men. A free-f -for-all fight was prevented only by the interference of the police The banner, after it had been rescued by the Yates men, was hung up in the read of the platform.
