THE ARAB|A'S CARGO
Action in the Matter Taken
by State Department.
DIRECTIONS TO EDDY
INSTRUCTED TO MAKE REPRE-
sENTATIoNs TO RUSSIA.
Deemed Highly Desirable to Treat the
Incident in Conservative and
Cautious Fashion.
DIRECTIONS TO EDDY

The State Department has addressed it
self to the Russian government through
Spencer Eddy, United States charge at st.
Petersburg, on the subject of the seizure
of the cargo of the Arabia by the Vladivo-
stok squadron. Through the attorneys for
the Portland Milling Company the depart
ment has been placed in possession of the
necessary Information respecting the char
acter of that part of the cargo shipped by
that company, consisting of $1,000 sacks OF
flour, and other details respecting the
parties to whom the cargo was billed all
intended to show that it was not in any
sense contraband and, therefore, not sub
ject to seizure. The Arabia was formerly
a Cunard liner, but she was sold to the
Hamburg-American Company, and that
company will undoubtedly appeal to the
German government to procure the release
of its ship and compensation for the delay
in her cruise and other items of loss.
Public Statement Withheld.
The State Department officials decline
absolutely to make any public statement
respecting the character of the representa-
tions made to the Russian government in
respect to this seizure. 1t is deemed highly
desirable to treat this matter in conServa-
tive and cautious fashion, and above all
things to avoid adding any fuel to the ris
ing spirit of irritation that has been arous-
ed in shipping circles over the recent SELF
ures and sinking of vessels. Therefore Mr..
Eddy has been instructed it is understood.
to make some very moderate representa-
tionS to the Russian government, and these
may be strengthened later on If the devel-
opment of additional facts seem to make 1t
eXpedient.
The Knight Commander Case.
AS this American -four was not carried
under the United States flag but was on
case no such question of discourtesy toward
national colors as the British claim was ex-
hibited toward the Knight Commander
upon which they base their demand for an
apology and a salute to the British en-
sign. The Knight Commander case has
not yet been formally presented in the
shape ia claim to the State Department,
so that it cannot be included in the in
structions to Mr.. Eddy in connection with
the Arabia seizure. There is some reason
to believe that it has been found difficult
to precisely fix the ownership of the Ameri-
can stores the Knight Commander and
much will depend on whether they were
shipped at the risk of the consignee or the
consignor.
Release of the Ardova.
Mr.. Eddy cabled the State Department
this morning that the steamship Ardova.
the British vessel which was conveying
stores for the Philippine government when
seized in the Red sea, was released two
days ago. This confirms the press report
from Suez.

The Russ today prints an important edi-

A POLITICAL MIXUP
Epworth, Little Town West Of Du.

Without Any Government at All,
Owing to DefauItins Methods Used.

| Social to Times Republican.
Dubuque March 31.-The little town
Of Epworth, a few miles west of Du-
buque, is all excitement because of the
possibility that the town will shortly
be without a government.
The trouble has arisen over the re-
cent municipal election held in the
town. The citizens and peoples par
ties held the boards of the town and
neither of the tickets were filed in ac-
cordance to law and both We're de-
olared Illegal. That did not bother or
in any way trouble the scdate residents
of the little college city. Instead plans
were made among the citizens deep
plans that have blotted the fair name
of the town. The conspiracy was to
push the citizens ticket into force and
to let the peoples party stand aside
and see them do it. The politicians of
the town waxed eloquent on the street
corners: the ward heelers We're around
to square it with their friends; the
plans We're accepted by the citizens
and the peoples party lived on in the
expectation. So
The political pot was boiling and the
city clerk was instructed to have the
official ballots printed. The city clerk
was of the citizens party and the plan
was conceived TO have the citizens
go into office by default When the
ballots appeared on election day there
was no peoples ticket on them and the
result was that the citizens" went In
easily. Ex- Representative Reed Kea-
gy was elected mayor. The result of
the election did not meet with the APP
prevail of the peoples party, and it is
thought the elected officers will never
be inaugurated, as the peoples party
declare they will have an injunction
issued restraining the inauguration
ceremonies. The town is strong pro-
hibition resort.
