China the Prize. Korea and Man.
churia Subordinate Issues.
New York, March 23.-Under the
title, The War and After Henry
Norman, NJ. p, discusses the probable
after effects of the Russo-Japanese
war in the forthcoming number of the
Worlds Work. He says that it is most
important that one fact he clearly re-
allied, that it is fight for the con.
troll of China. Korea and Manchuria
are subordinate issues. The real object
is predominance in Picking, bringing
with il the ultimate domination of the
far East and in the future leadership
of all the Asiatic lands"
He points out the probability OF war
in the near East and says:
Already the flames of hostility to
England are visible almost everywhere
in Europe-a manifestation of which
is not at all surprising in view of the
language of the London press. From
the highest to the lowest, moderation
of language, respect for the feeling of
other nations and sense of RESPONSE
bility appears to have vanished from
many newspapers. DenunciatiOn of
Russia is as extravagant as Japanese
praise is aggravating, and is making
host of French enemies every week.
For all this day of reckoning will
surely come, for the passion aroused
against England will have reached its
climax when. if this happens, Russia
having evacuated Manchuria, Japan
requests the powers TO recognize the
retrocession of Manchuria to- China,
and to decree the end of the war.
Then England is likely to learn the re-
snlt of her Asiatic conduct.
In conclusion l will venture upon
one prophecy, namely. that the result
of this war will be for Russia bless
ing in disguise. The policy of expan-
sion everywhere at any cost and by
any method. whether of arms or diplo-
macy, together with its upholders, will
he discredited The canker at the
heart of Russia-the corruption of her
bureaucracy-will he cut out The
statesmen who desire to curtail mill
tary expenditure and TO encourage
Russian production and commerce will
come back to power. The ear will
push aside opposition to the ideals of
humanity and peace that he cherishes

BOND SAILS FOR HOME
NEW FOUNDLAND PREMIER WINDS
 UP BUSINESS IN ENGLAND.
Declares That He Has Made Every Effort Consistent With Dignity to Arrange Treaty With the
 United States.

London, July 23.-Sir Robert Bond. premier of New Foundland, sailed for home to-day on the steamer Buenos Ayrean from Liverpool, after having settled up New Foundlands share in the Anglo French treaty,
 Interviewed by the Associated Press on the subject of the Hay Bond treaty, which is awaiting ratification by the Senate, the premier said:
 T have been unable to give the British government any hope that tho treaty to which it lent support will be ratified by the United States. New Foundland is and has been anxious to secure reciprocity upon mutually ad- vantageous basis with our great. friendly neighbor. To secure that end I have made every effort consistent with the dignity and interest of the colony. More than this, New Found land has given American fishermen, during fourteen years. rights which it has power to withhold. It has been a matter of comment in connection with Joseph Chamberlain's claim that New Foundland gives America greater privileges than the mother country.
 The next move in the matter must be on the part of America. In the un- toward event of our failing to secure any measure of reciprocity. it may be- come ecessary--although I hope 1t never will--to put into execution those differentiating tariffs which the other British colonies have enacted against foreign countries. The adoption of our 33 Ia per cent. preferential treaty in favor of British manufactured goods would turn the whole of our business with the United States over to Canada. New Foundland has not so far adopted this preferential tariff, because 1t was thought that sooner or later the United States-both from the viewpoint of self-interest and in return for a ma terial sign of genuine good friendship, would enact the reciprocal agreement
 Tt would be absurd for me to say this as. fin any sense, threatening a tariff war. It is not a question of re- prisals. but the people of New Found land cannot be expected to let this re- main an open question forever when everybody on the island knows that America is trading under advantages not allowed by another British colony and while New Foundland products entering the United States are taxed 10 almost a prohibtive degree"
 The Associated Press le9rns that Sir Robert Bond has given the British Gov ernmcnt a frank expression of his | views regarding the suggested confed- eration with Canada. When question: ed on this subject Sir Robert replied: "I am. strongly opposed to any such condemnation. New Foundland neith- or desires nor needs confederation. There are no advantages to us in such an arrangement compared with the ad- vantages 1t would entail"

TROUBLE IN BONE STEEL, s. D.
Two Special Policemen Shot by Gang of Thugs.

of Thugs.
 Bone Steel, s. D., July 23.-A serious shooting array took place about o'clock this morning. Sylvester G. Harrison of Wichita. Kas.. and man named Stansbrougi, whose address cannot be learned. two special police men, were shot by gang of thugs in front of a saloon. Harrison was shot in the forehead and at first 1t was thought his wound would prove fatal. Later 1t was said he was resting easily and 1t is now hoped he will recover. Stansbrough's wound was in the leg and will not result seriously.
 Harrison, who Is about 24 years Of age, arrived here last night with 0 friend, who claims that the young man Is in good financial condition. Being a lover of excitement, he at once join ed the police force and had been on duty but a short time when he was shot. The men who did the shooting escaped. A vigilance committee was at once formed and began rounding up the objectionable characters or tho town. The station house Is full and arr rests are being made every few nm utes. It is reported that a pitched battle occurred at a sod house, Wlle east of town, in which a dozen or nf- teen shots were exchanged, but the de- tails are not yet obtainable lnforma- tion of a definite character is hard t" secure The saloon where the shooting occurred this morning was the scene of another affray a night or so ago. and 1t has been closed by the authori- ties.

VIEWED BY LABOR LEADERS.
They Set Forth Their Reasons for Go.
 ing Out.

ing Out.
 Chicago, July 23.-A committee of union leaders today issued the follow ing statement regarding their position in the strike:
 To the Public:
 and mechanical trades called on the packers and requested conference. Feeling that the situation in the stock yards was one that would cause a walkout of all employees. and to pre- vent this, a conference was secured and an agreement reached which we be- lieve would have settled the strike if lived up to by the packers. When representatives of the strikers called upon the packers to arrange for the return of the men, they were told to have all employees report for work. When the men reported the packers se lected such men as they needed. This would have demoralized the men if per mitted.
 Great numbers of men and women were told in language unfit to repeat that they were not wanted. Hence the second conference. After the second strike was ordered the packers and representatives of the trades got to- gether again.
 The packers insisted that we try and put the agreement into operation, ad- mitted the violation and then promised to see that 1t would not occur again. As union men, we have to refuse this proposition and asked that an under standing be had which would return employees as agreed upon. This they refused. We have now offered a final proposition which. if rejected. will cause a cessation of all work on Mon day. John Fitzpatrick,

RUssIA's NEW POSITION.

Will Notify Powers Formally of Con-
 version of Volunteer Vessels.
 St. Petersburg. July 23.-The Associ- ated Press Is able to announce that Russia has informally notified Great Britain that orders have been issued to the Russian cruisers in the Red Sea not to arrest any more merchantmen and 1t has been agreed to between the two powers, if, pending the receipt of these orders by the captains of the St. Petersburg and the Smolensk, any oth- CT ships should be stopped and held as prizes. these acts shall be regarded as not having taken place and the ships concerned at once released.
 Although it was authoritatively stat ed that the Malacca already had reach ed Suda Bay. 1t now transpires that when the Malacca sailed from Port Said she was bound for Algiers. Un- way. she will upon arrival there find an order to proceed immediately to Srda Bay where, under the agreement reached between Great Britain and Russia, an examination of her cargo will be made by Russian consuls.
 The apparent delay in the delivery of orders to captains of the St. Peters, burg and Smolensk has resulted in the seizures of the Scandia and the Ardov.
 treat BTltdll, having iOTIndlly Tdioeu the status of the St. Petersburg and the Smolensk, the Foreign Office has call ed a meeting of leading officials of the admiralty to consider the subject This conference Is now in progress. The decision will be submitted to the Elm peror for ratification.
 While not admitting the ulegality of the Russian action in converting ves- sells of the Volunteer fleet into warships after they had reached the Red Sea, 1t Is probable. in view of the fact that neutral ships did not receive previous notice, that Russia. in order to remove the shadow of a cloud upon their right to fly the war flag, will formally notify the powers of their conversion into warships. thus putting all neutrals upon their guard. In the meantipe, all the ships seized will be released unless the captains refuse to show their man. ifests, in which event the procedure in the case of the Malacca probably will be followed.

THE CAT IN THE CRrvIcE.
Imprisoned for Two Years, Lariat Res
 cues Feline.


 New York. July 2s.--After nearly two years Imprisonment between twn brick walls and four stories high and only three inches apart, a cat haa been rescued by means of a lariet
 The feline dropped tpto the crevfcs. when 1t was only few weeks old ana has been there ever since--fed and cared for by families in the buildings.
 The prison which it occupied so Iona, Is between two buildings in East Fourth Street Tne crevice is closed front and back and even partly part of the top by tin roofiag. Efforts which, the kitten made durhsg the early days, of It's Imprisonment n. its effDrts to climb its slippery walls. only to fall back. were watched with sympathy by the neighbors, and they became divid- ed into Tfactions--those who thought the kitten ought to be killed and re- lieyed of its misery. and those who held that while there was life there waH hope
 Ths latter fed the cat and gave st water by means of q long string. DiS- contented neighbors many times threw in chunks of poisoned liver, but the animal never touched 1t.
 Meanwhile the cat grew and every effort was made to release it. but with out success. A few days ago the story became generally known and came to the notice of an ex-cowboy. who. with an old lariat, soon dragged the cat from its prison, thus removing a source of much worry to the society for pres vention of cruelty to animals

 Refuge in Poor House.


 Fall River, Mass, July 23.--Prepara< lions were completed tonight for che strike of cotton mill operatives who. wednesday night. decided that they would quit work Monday rather than. submit to q IF 1-2 per cent reduction in wages
 A significant feature of the prepara- tions was the appointment by the Tex tue council of g committee to care for the needy ones among the 30,000 per- sons who will be affected by the strike.
 What is taken by many as an indi- cation that the strike cannot be of Iona duration was found in the fact that nos tewer than seventeen families today sought refuge in the city poor house.
 The financial committee of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor will be solic- tied, and private contributions with which to assist the strikers and thelr families will be received by d speciaf committee.

MURPHY AND PARKER.
They will Hold Cenference as to Po-
 litical situation.

They VIII Hold Conference as to Po-
 litical Situation.
 New York. July 2s.-Friends of Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany lead CT, say that the political understand ing to be brought about between Tam many Hall and Judge Parker will be through a direct conference between the Judge and MT. Murphy. There will be no dealings with any of ,ne men who have been representing Judge Parker'E Interests before and since the National Convention. The reorganization which the Tammany or- ganization Is to have in the coming State Convention or in the selection of a candidate for Governor. will be set tied, 1t is said. by Messrs. Parker and Murphy personally. and not by repre- sentatives.
 The Tammany leader recognizes in Judge Parker as good politician as any of his friends and the belief is standing will be reached when the Judge and the Tammany leader con- fer. and that the program agreed upon will be for the best interests of the party in the State.
 Little or no interest was shown in the matter of the selection of chair mar of the Democratic Committee to- day. John w. Kern, who has been looking after the interests of Thomas Taggart, left New York City to be away over Sunday. MT. Taggart has conferred with a few Democrats, among them being August Belmont. who is expected to be member of the executive committee if Taggart is chairman.
 M. F. Tarpey. member of the com mittee for California, arrived this evening. He is for Taggart. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. will reach here from Michigan tomor- row morning.
 Quite an interesting contest has de- veloped over the selection of a ser- geant at arms, John L. Martin of Mis- sourf. who has held the position for four years. is candidate for re-elec- ton and is opposed by Samuel Donald son, who has been here for several days. carrying on an active canvass. It is also understood that there will be several candidates for secretary of the committee.

RUSSIA WILL BE GOOD.
Pronises That Volunteer Cruisers VIII " Not Molest Menfrals.

Promises That Volunteer Cruisers VIII " Not Nolest Mentrals.
 St. Petersburg, July 23.-The Rus sian government has given formal as- surances to Germany that there will be no repetition of the Prinz Heinrich incident whether this includes a definite notification that the converted volunteer fleet steamers now in the Red Sea will cease stopping neutral vessels is not yet clear, although 1t Is believed, 1t does.
 The German embassy to this hour has received no instructions from Ger many regarding the reported seizure of the German steamer Scandia in the Red Sea, and in view of the assurances given to the German government, can scarcely credit the report. 1t is point. ed out. however. thatsthe Scandia may have been captured by the St. Peters, burg before the orders of the Russian government were received.
 Great Britain formally raised the question of the war status of the St. Petersburg. July 20. and was formally assured that orders had been issued to prevent the Red Sea cruisers from seizing any more British ships.

AGAIN MUST
 APOLOGIZE Germany Has Cause for
 Complaint.
SEIZURE OF THE SCANDIA
Regarded as an Exhibition
 of Russian Friendship"
Country of the Kaiser Wants to Be Treated With the Humbleness
 Exhibited Towards the
 British Government.

Berlin, July 23.-The news of the seizure of the Scandia arrived here too late for comment in most of the after noon papers.
 The Lokal Anzeiger. Tageblatt and Post comment upon the event and as- sumed an indignant tone., The Tage- blatt heads It's account, Another Ex- hibition of Russian Friendship and says 1t believes the seizure will awake all the more indignation since Russia had already yielded in the Malacca case and expresses the hope that Rus sia will not lose a moment In sending orders to release the Scandia, as oth- erwise Germany against her will must Russia, adding:
 Must Follow England.
 After England has obtained satis- faction so speedily 1t would be a dou- ble moral defeat for Germany if she could not compel the same respect as the English flag"
 The Post, evidently inspired by the foreign office, characterizes the seizure as another exhibition of Russian reck- lessness and predicts 1t will stir up much bad blood in Germany.
 Tt will" adds the Pest. make diplo- matic relations between Russia and Germany, which are already bad, much worse. In all good will, we fail to comprehend on what grounds Russia would wholly eradicate the sympathies which still remain with her.
 Disrespect for the Powers.
 The whole proceeding signifies her gross disrespect for foreign neutral states. which can be bitterly avenged or an incomprehensible failure to give clear and specific directions to the Russian captains of the Red Sea cruisers impossible outside of Rus- sia. It is high time the Russian gov- ernment put stop to these doings by orders from the highest source unless 1t wishes to conjure up storm of pub lie opinion in Germany similar to the present storm in England. The neces- sary consequences of such popular feeling would be a marked change ir the attitude of German diplomacy"
 The Lokal Anzelger regards the seizure of the Scandia as being a much more serious act of violence thar the Prinz Heinreich case.
