support of land fortifications where they
 adopt a defensive, making sorties under
 cover of the fort guns, instead of adopt
 ing open sea tactics On the other hand
 it was pointed out that the Japanese had
 everything to gain in permitting the Rus
 sians to enter Yladivostok instead Of
 taking the chances of a sea fight. Once
 inside Vladivostok, the Russians would
 require coal and provisions and it would
 be impossible to secure these as Field
 Marshal Oyama would cct the land com
 munications, and Admiral Togo would prevent merchant vessels from carrying supplies to Vladivostok. This would pre- sent much the same situation as at Santi- ago and Port Arthur with the Russians keeping under the shore defenses, and ! the Japanese maintaining blockade out side. and trying to otstruct the channels. Both the French and American of fcers believed that such situation would result in a prolonged delay, the 1 final result depending upon Rojestvensky audacity in hazarding sortie and a
 fight in the open sea.

It became evident that tn, leaders were losing control of the councils, but they were saved from putting their strength to the direct test when the United Gas Improvement company withdrew it's bid.
 MT Dolans lett~r to councils states that the notifications to the original lease bill reducing tl.e price of gas were not in accord with the offer of the company. but that they would have been accepted owing to the opposition on the part of the people, Mir.

Emperor Nicholas re ceived the news with satisfaction. but without elation as an indication that Ro- jestyensky had outwitted his adversary and had cleared the difficult entrance to the Japanese sea.
 Throughout, the Emperor has displayed the greatest confidence in Rojestvensky's S ability to turn the trick, but with the arrival of the decisive moment he showed nervousness and repeatedly had officials at court to inquire of the admiralty and the foreign office for dispatches. but neither ministry could relieve the im- perial suspense.

Small Riots Still Frequent in
 Chicago TRANSFERS ARE ANGERED
Withdrawal of Support By Building Trades Puts Entirely New Aspect on the Big
 Strike.

Chicago, May H.-While numerous small riots were in progress both ih the down. town streets and in the lumber districts, the leaders of the teamsters' strike and the officials of the building trades were engaged in qnarrels of their own.
 The action of the building trades last night in withdrawing from the team sters their financial and moral support, angered the teamsters, and they lost no time today in calling upon the representa- lives of the buildings trades and demand- ing to know what they meant by going back" on the teamsters in the thick of the fight. It was made plain to the teamsters that in the opinion of the build- ing trades they had overstepped their jurisdiction in causing members of their union to do constructive work. The prin- cipal cause of complaint was that team sters employed in handling safes and vaults had placed them in buildings. This part of the work, the building trades con tend belongs to them

RoJestvensky Is Confident.

Captain Won Essen. of Port Arthur fame and one of the most capable of Russian naval officers, Is one or those who believes that Rojestvensky's arrival in the Korean strait is nov an affair of mystifcation. but it due to the relative strength of confidence that Rojestvenskv would reach Vladivostok without fighting decisive battle. Togo's fleet being too weak. he believed, to meet that of Russia in open combat.
 It is said that many thoughtful liberals display almost consternation over the suc- cess that thus far has attended Rotest- vensky's voyage. A decisive victory for him, they believe. might so strengthen tbe government as to not only destroy all, prospects of peace, but enable the gov ernment If it choses to stihe the whole programme of reforms and for many years their dreams of parliament and con- stitution. .

Say News is Bad for the Japs or T0kio Would Say
 Something FATE OF WHOLE EMPIRE HANGS IN TIE BALANCE
Success In Reaching the Korean Strait Is Looked Upon as Half the Victory for RoIest-
 vensky.

St. Petersburg, May 2S, 12:50 a. m.-The thus far have been entirely dependent upon the Associated Press dispatches from Tolxio for news concerning the move- ments of the warships in the Korean strait, and up to midnight were in receipt of no telegrams from the Russian fleet. The Associated Press is able to an- nounce that the vladivostok cruisers have left that port and are now acting in general cooperation with Vice Ad- miral Rojestvensky under psans prepared for the present emergency. Captain Broussikoff, who is well known in the United States. commands the armored cruiser Gromoboi.
 Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's success in reaching the Korean strait, the gateway to vladivostok, has aroused something like 1 genuine enthusiasm. The showy Rus sian capital on the banks of the Neva, l arrayed in gala attire. and illuminated in honor of the anniversary of the corona tion of Emperor Nicholas, seemed en fete | for the occasion. For once, St. Peters burg was not pessimistic. Everywhere the report that Rojestvensky had defeated Togo was accepted as true, and in the l streets the Russian admiral's name was on every lip. In the cafes and gardens he was toasted as the hero of the hour. Yet, in reality. St. Petersburg had only Tokio advices but perhaps, TOT once, the Russian people so easily prey to despair, might be pardoned for their premature jubiIation, after the unbroken series of reverses suffered on sea ana land.
 Authorities Are Breathess. 1 The authorities, however, while elated over the news, indulged in no unwarrant- ed rejoicing but instead awaited almost breathless for further news. The lights 1 of the admiralty office burned until far t, into the night, and the fact that no , further dispatches had arrived from To- f kio. where alone the secret of the real situation is known, was considered re- assuring.
 | Admiral Wirenius. chief o1 the general staff of the navy, said to the Associated Press:
 If Rojestvensky has cleared the Korean strait. god bless him. he has open water ahead If he has succeeded in mystifying the enemy and entered the sapanees sea with his force unimpaired he has earned the title of master of naval strategy" Czar Hears the News.

Back to Lower Court.

The temporary injunction issued by the common pleas court was rendered inoper- ative by a writ of supercedas, procured by the mayors counsel from the supreme court Chief Justice Mitchell of the higher court, has however, sent the case back to the lower court for argument, and the supercedas is in effect only until the ques- lion of the injunction has been decided by that tribunal.
 Since last IT. esday when the mayor caused the first sensation b. busting rrectors Smyth and Costello, and ap- pointing their successors, great pressure has been brought to bear upon the- coun- cilmen by both sides, and the "organiza- ton" leaders have steadily maintained confidence in their ability to have the gas lease passed oyer the mayors veto. Popular opposition eoame so pronounced, however that one by one, numbers of councilmen who originally voted for the lease began to show a disposition to aceede to the wishes of their consttu- ont

Go on Mysterious Trip.

Levy Mayer, attorney for the Employ org, association, and James 5. Barry, business agent of the Express Drivers pnion. both left Chicago for the east to- day. Neither man would state the ob- feet of his journey. It was reported that MT Mayer was to confer with the of 6cials of tine express companies in an effort to induce them to modify their stand against the unemployment of their striking drivers. but he denied this and declared that he knew that the com nanies would not recede from the posi- tion they had taken. It was said one of Barry's objects in going to New York was that he is planning to call out the exnress drivers in other cities in a sym nathetic strike unless the Chicago drivers are reinstated President Mulligan of the express drivers said'
 1T would not care to talk about the renort I have heard of such a thing as an effort to cal, oul the drivers in other cities I understand that the drivers are well organized in Boston, but l do not know what is the situation in New York. ''
 The general opinion regarding the visit of Mir Barry is. however, that he has gone east, not so much for the purpose of arranging sympathetic strikes. as with the object of securing financial aid for his men.
 If is admitted by the labor leaders that critical stage in the strike is at hand Charles Dold. president of the Chicago Federation of Labor said this evening"

VIRGINIA DARE.

written for the News and Observer
The setting sun, a rudy ball,
With yellow roses Strews the sky;
The roses fade, nights shadows fall,
And songbirds homeward fly.
A voice melodious in the air
Whispers a name,-Virginia Dare.
A yellow line 'twixt sound and sea,
Great sandhills fringe the eastern
sky;
A mocking-bird sings merrily;
A state ship floats by.
A happy chnd, with golden hair,
Shouts on the beach,-Virginia Dare
Backed by the downs an island lies,
dreamland where the dead awake;
And whispering pines wall memories
OF Raleigh, Greenville, Drake.
A lonely home for names so grand,
A jungle framed in golden sand.
Heroes with failures halo crowned,
Almost the founders of a race,
Their island slumbers in the sound,
A silent, haunted place.
A tomb of hope that failed, land
OF wrecks half-buried in the sand
The moon floats up above the hills;
1t floods with light long drifts or

It's pale, mysterious radiance fills
The yellow esmine land.
