that Langdons contestant has lead
over the next highest of 1860 votes.

Geo. f. Barnard's trotter, Rermovine,
was the winner of first money in the 2:10
trot at Bottineau last week. The best
time made in the race was 2:22, the
track being quite heavy owing to recent
rains. Mr.. Barnard's running horse,
Julia Arthur, was also among the win
ners taking the half-mile event in 81
seconds. There we're seven starters in
the running race and four in the trot.
E. H. Durbin, also of this city, had a
winner at Bottineau in Sidney B. who
took third money in the 2:2O trot. In
this event there were eleven starters.
Among the attractions in addition to the
races was the big freak horse Jumbo,
who stands twenty hands high and
weighs $500 pounds. Another speciality
worth seeing was the celebrated PAGER,
John D., who goes mile heat in pacing
harness without driver or sulky. Both
of these novel attractions will be at

RUSSIA Must BACK Down az Once or
Fight.
London. July 21.-Speaking Of the
protest presented TO the Russian gov
ernment against the action of the Rus
sian volunteer feet steamers in the
Red sea, the Daily Telegraph. voicing
the views Of the government says.
Lord LansdOwne has faced the situ-
alton created by the abuse OF the right
Of search in the only manner worthy
Of a British minister compelled to de
fend the interests Of British commerce
and the homer of the flag, and, acting
with unhesitating frmness and prompt
itude which recall the strongest days
Of the national policy, he has justified
the trust of the country.
while not one rash word should be
said which could have the effect Of in
creasing the tension Of an anxious and
/ dangerous interval, II would be futile
/ 70 disguise the character or to mini
mize the risks of the situation which
has arisen. We hope and believe that
a solution of the difficulty may still be
found in the withdrawal Of the Rus
sian government from its false posi-
ton. 1t is obvious if the volunteers
passed the Dardanelles as merchant
vessels they cannot be allowed to scour
the Red sea as warships The doors
of the Black sea must either be open
or shut. If open to warships. they
must be so to all warships. II the
Russian fleet is to be permitted tc
emerge in violation OF treaty provi
sions, the British feet must be allowed
to enter upon these terms"
The Telegraph goes on to say that
the stores of the Malscea were plainly
marked with the broad arrow. Showing
that they belonged to the British gov
ernment and were destined only for ;
British depot "It would be impossible
20 conceive a more remarkable &C
cumulation OF illegality and error thar
has attended the present case" th'
paper saws. "If this country wer'
capable under any circumstances of
tamely enduring so grave an injury
to the most vital Of It's interests and
so great an insult TO its honor, We
should have forfeited our claim to be a
great nation.
THE emergency in some respects is
the most critical that has marked our
relations with Russia in the last
twenty years, and in face of the in

redress for violent and unprovoked
injury. and where the peace of the
west depends upon the will Of the czar
we cannot believe that civilization will
look TO him during the next forty eight
hours I'm vain"
The foregoing pronouncement from
an organ so notoriously inspired, with
its open reference 20 a possibility Of
war. adds enormously TO situation
that already was grave enough
Every other London morning paper
devotes its leading editorial TO a simi-
lar view Of the situation.

Although the union vote showed a
strength Of but about 1000 operatives,

against which the strike is declared.
There are eighty "union" mills in the
city, and these now employ 31,6S2 per
sons These mills represent a capital
investment Of about 25,50o,0oO. Three
