HAY OUT OF THE CITY.
Nothing Could Be Learned About the
Matter in Washington.

Washington. Aug. 2f.-SOme DOUBT
was expressed at the japanese iega-
zion tonight that d United States tor
pedo boat should have deliberately put
herself between the Russian ships Ask
cid and GrozoVoi and a Japanese tor
redo boat which arrived of the port
today. The opinion was expressed
THAT the japanese vessel had a perfect
right to go in and recOnnOiter to asceT-
tain if the Russian ships had disaTmed,
and this is believed by the legation OIL
tieials to have been her object rather
than TO attack the Russian vessels "
ing at Shanghai and thus violate neu-
tfality. The japanese legation officials
were not inclined to construe the ac-
ton of the commander of the Ameri-
can torpedo bosJ in the light Of inter
vention and said the effort might be
to protect American business interests
at Shanghai from some danger that it
had been appTehended might occur.

the stock yards police station said to-

with a number of others for beating a

stock yards strike and that the six hun
dred members of the organization had

SECRETARY HAY
SOUNDS RUSSIA
Recognition of American Pass
ports Is Desired.
MORE LIBERTY FOR THE JEWS
ONLY a BARE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCCESS.

St Petersburg. Aus. 21.-The' United
states government has again formally
proposed to Russia the opening of ne
gotiations for the unrestricted reeog-
milton of American passports. In ae-
eordanee with the law of the empire
only foreign Jews of specified classes
merchants having business connections
in the country. etc. are allowed to en-
ter Russia but quite liberal policy has
been pursued in making exceptions to
the rule where the legitimate reasons
therefor are given The exceptions.
however. are seldom made in the cases
OF Russian Jews who have been nat
uralized abroad. The inhibition Is not
against the United States alone. but
extends to the Jews of every country.
The United States government on
several occasions, especially when
James G.. Blaine was secretary of state,
sought to open negotiations regarding
this question. but the Russian govern
ment always declined to begin such ne
gotiatiOns on the ground that the Ques-
ton involved the entire readjustment of
the internal policy of the empire toward
the Jews
The basis of this proposition is the
joint resolution of the United States
lends additional weight as being the
expression of the united wish Of the
representatives of the American people,
Both verbally and by note the matter
has been presented to Foreign Minister
LamsdOrff by Ambassador McCor-
mick
While Under ordinary circumstances it
is not likely that Russia would even
yield TO the extent of discussing ques-
ton affecting the internal policy of the
empire, and while a compliance with
the American wish would probably en-
tail change in Russian laws. the more
liberal policy recently manifested to-
wards the Jews of Russia seems to Gre
ate at least room for hope that Am
baSsadOr Mccormick may now succeed
where his predecessors failed.
It is understood that while the earn
est wish Of the United States govern
ment in this matter has been made
quite plain to Russia, the American note
is cOuched in such terms as not TO
render a. refusal on the part of Russia
in any sense a rebuff.
