RUSSIANS AGAIN AT SEl
VLADiVosToK SQUADRON ON AN.
OTHER RAID ALONG EAST
COAST OF JAPAN.

Toxic, July 21.-The Vladivostok
squadron has overhauled Japanese
steamer eastward of Tsugar straits.
The name of the vessel captured and
it's fate have not yet been learned.
The Russian squadron, unaccompa-
MED by torpedo boats, entered the
Pacific ocean at "a. m. Its destlna-
ton is unknown, but it is suggested
that it possibly plans to raid the east
coast of japan and then either return
to Vladivostok, escaping to the south
ward, or attempting TO form junction
with the Port Arthur feet
The squadron was discovered in the
straits of Tsugar at 3 a. m. steaming
rapidly eastward At $3.50 a. m. 1t
was reported off Tappi cape and at
a. M. observers at Hakodate discern
ed it and reported to Toxic that 1t was
then steaming to the east
Warnings have gone out to shipping
along the eastern coast OF Japan ana
merchantmen are hurriedly seeking
cover. Ii is expected that most OF the
shipping will be warned before the
Russian vessels can infllct serious
damage il a raid is proposed.
Ordinarily a lack of coal would pre-
vent an extended cruise, but it is pos
sible that the Russians possess a col
lier at a reudesvouz in the Paclnc
ocean.

QUITS GREAT BRITAIN FOR FRANCE

Truro. Cornwall, Eng, July 21.-
Mrs. Florence Maybrick is free. She
left here at 1143 a. m. on her way to
France
Mrs. Maybrick's Imprisonment was
not terminated with the clang OF
doors, the last sound which remains
in the ears of so many of her fellow
prisoners who had preceded her to lib
erty from Aylesbury prison. where she
spent more than fourteen years of her
life. 1t closed before the arched door
way of the white convent of the Sister
hood of the Epiphany in this little
town, with the black robed sisters
softly uttering their blessings and
good wishes for her future. With two
companions Mrs. Maybrick entered the
carriage of Miss Dalrymple, secretary
of the sisterhood, and was driven rap
idly to Staustall, mail station four
teen miles away, where, after eXchang-
ing goodbys with her companions, she
boarded train and started on her
journey to France. She will not go To
America until her presence there is
considered imperative.
The greatest secrecy was thrown
about Mrs. Maybrick's departure.
Mother Superior Julian of the convent
said to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press that under her instruc-
tions she must refer all inquiries to
the home Office.
At the railroad station orders We're
issued forbidding the employees to dis,
cuss Mrs. Maybrick or even TO admit
that she was at the convent.

REFLEC1S OFFICIAL VIEWS.
ST. Petersburg Paper Discusses Stop
ping of Neutral Vessels.

st. Petersburg. July 21.-The Russ
publishes an editorial statement of
Russias position relative to the stop
ping of neutral ships in the Red sea
by vessels of the volunteer feet. There
is great interest In the statement be-
cause it is believed to reflect directly
the views of the foreign office. 1t fol-
lows:
"The operations of the converted
cruisers Smolensk and st. Petersburg
are causing tremendous excitement in
England. Questions are being asked
in parliament, the newspapers are ap-
pealing to the public and there is a
panic among shipowners. There is
also good deal of talk in Germany be-
cause of the seizure of mails on the
steamer Prinz Heinrich, but the most
noise there is being made by the eX-
tremist organs, the others treating the
matter coolly. 1t is a pity the English
do not display the same Teutonic
calmness.
lit is easy to understand the British
merchant marine feels these restric-
tions severely. AS result of the
stopping and searching of vessels
English ships either must give up
Transporting contraband or continue
at their own risk and peril in time
of war between two powers. Others
are bound to suffer more or less, as
it is impossible to check contraband
without search.
I'm regard to the detention of the
Prinz Heinrichs mails, details have
not yet reached St Petersburg. Com
prehensive discussion of the incident
is, therefore, Impossible; but it must
be pointed out the official correspond
ence of a belligerent is contraband.
Consequently, If the Prinz Heinrich
carried Japanese diplomatic and con-
sular reports she was liable to seizure.
OF course whether she did or not the
correspondence can be inspected to
determine this fact

BRITISH PEOPLE AROUSED
RUSSiA'S ACTION IN THE RED
SEA CAUSES THE GREATEST
INDIGNATION.

London, July 21.-The further de-
tails received from Port Said describ-
ing the situation on board the PENN
Malacca, seized in the Red sea by the
Russian volunteer vessel st. Peters
burg. fail to give any reason for the
seizure and only serve to inflame the
British feeling. The officials Of the
company reiterate their denial that the
Malacca was carrying contraband OF
war and reassert that the explosives
on board were British government
stores consigned to the naval COM
mander al Hongkong.
In official circles, where the gravity
OF the situation is already fully real
1Zed, apprehension is felt at the in
creasiag excitement in the country.
There is no likelihood, however, of any
precipitate action. Ii is officially
pointed out that the very fullest inior-
nation must be obtained before the
government decides on its course, es-
peciaily III view OF the fact that, being
TIE greatest naval power in the world,
Great Britain cannot afford to create
plecedents tor international usage
which might hereafter react unfavor-
ably against herself. In THE mean
time and until there is direct and ex-
plicit evidence OF a contravention of
neutrality by the Malacca and the as
sumption by the Russian government
OF full responsibility for the action of
the commanders OF the Smolensk and
st. Petersburg, the British govern
ment, 1t is explained. can only ask
explanations OF the Russian foreign
office regarding the nature of the
charges against the seized vessel. Sub
Eequent action necessarily will depend
on, Russia's reply thereto.
The editorials continue to be heat
cd and it is openly suggested that Rus
sia's action was premeditated. The
Westminster Gazette says:
circumstances can be conceived in
which Russia might suppose it was alb
solutely necessary to widen the issue,
SO as to avoid defeat at the hands OF
the yellow power"

Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Flor

st. James church, Picadilly, to James

over forty years of age. In the spring
of 1853 Mr.. Maybrick became i'll ana
in a few days he died. His brothers
investigated his death and charged
Mrs. Maybrick with the murder of her
husband.
A long trial followed and a number
of doctors swore that the deceased
died OF arsenical poisoning. The de-
fense proved that for twenty years
Mr.. Maybrick had been a confirmed
user of arsenic and that he daily took
doses large enough to have killed a
dozen ordinary men.
Mrs. Maybrick was eventually SEN
fenced to death by the Judge, Sir FitZ-
james Stephen, who spoke for two
days in charging the jury. He said it
was impossible for them to find her not

vt. Petersburg, June 21.-Sir Charles
Hardinge. the British ambassador to
Russia. In behalf of his government
has presented strong protest to Rus

and detention of the Peninsular and

carrying 800 tons of British govern

ON the subject of stopping ships in

fore sending the cruisers there the
Russian authorities became satisfied
through an elaborate system of espion-
age that an immense amount OF con-
traband was going from England
through the Red sea to Japan, so they
decided to stop the traffic. 1t is un-

There is no place on the farms OF
Iowa, or for that matter, among Iowa
citizens anywhere, for calamity this
year. Not only are farm products
abundant and prices good, but the
produce of the dairy, the hen-coop,
the barn-yard, the hog-pen and the
pasture lot, all bring good equivalents
in the coin of the realm. Of course
every farmer remembers that this has
not always been true. Eight years
ago, and even four years ago, prices
were not what they are now. Stats
tics are as usual thing dry reading,
but they often point moral. In 1895,
for example, when crop conditions
were ideal, and when there was an
average corn crop of 80 bushels per
acre, and oats AZ bushels per acre,
and the aggregate cereal products OF
the state amounted to 521, 63S, 900 bush
els, the average December LIST prices,
in the local markets of the state were:
Corn lie, wheat 45c, oats 13c. In re-
viewing this season, Mr.. Sage said in
his report: "But in that period OF
general business depression, the De-
cember prices were too low to make a
satisfactory exhibit of the value OF
the years products. Julien w.

A Peculiar Presidential Campaign.

A Peculiar Presidential Campaign.
This presidential campaign is very
remarkable for two things, quietness
and good times.
No presidential campaign within
the memory of any of our people was
so quiet as this one. These calm
autumnal days come and go without
the rustic of an argument on the
street. The blatant voice of the dis.
putant is lost in the busy conduct Of
our people who have no time to waste
over politics. They are making
money. They would have time to de-
vote to politics if they were not salts
fed with conditions.
Who ever saw business keep going
SO well right through presidential
campaign? We mostly have a spell
of hard times. Capital, always timid
mostly concludes to await the outcome
of the election before investing. Blu
right now, one month before election
a regular movement in land has set in
something that only occurs when the
people have confidence that nothing
will be disturbed. No presidential
election has been held since the wal
of the rebellion when the people were
as fully convinced of what will HAPPIER
month before election as they ART
now that Roosevelt will be his owl
