EFFORT TO END THE WAL:
As Anxious to Do All in His Power
to Bring the COmbatants Together.

Washington, May 29.-Quick to real
iZe the f~ar-reaching effect of Admiral
Rojestvensky's disastrous defeat in
the Korean straits, and in keeping with
bis promise announced a long time ago
tn do all in his power to bring the bel
lieerents in the far east to direct ne
gOtiatiOns at the proper time, PreSi-
dent Roosevelt tonight received, by Spe-
cial appointment, Mr.. Takahira, the
japanese minister, and a conference
followed for the greater part of the
evening. Mr. Takahira called at the
White House shortly after 9 o'clock
this evening and was Immediately re-
ceived. Sir Mortimer Durand, the
British ambassador. will lunch with
the President Wednesday. when the
whole situation will be thoroughly dis
cussed. Count Cassini. the Russian
ambassador, said tonight that he eX-
pected to see the President before the
week is over, and Baron Sternberg, the
German ambassador, who was early at
the Russian embassy. today, where he
remained for some time in conference
with the ambassador, is constantly in
touch with the White House.
On returning to the legation from
the White House, Minister Takahira
declined to discuss in any particular his
conference with the President. Re-
garding the possible effect of the out
come of the battle on peace negotia-
ions the minister said:
after this sweeping victory Russia
alone can be held responsible for a pro-
longatiOn of the war"
At the Russian embassy tonight
Count Cassini said:
Talk of peace is premature. If the
victory be as ~stupendous as the Jap
anese would have the world believe,
the neutral powers can scarcely wish
for Japan to be allowed to remain
without a tast eof defeat. Much as l
should welcome an end of the war, for
some reasons my belief is that the eff
feet of Rojestvensky's defeat will be
the indefinite prolongation of tine war.
Russia must fight OIL perhaps for years,
but until the tables are turned"

SPECIAL FRANCHISE TAX LAW
Supreme Court Decision Making Pay
able S24. 600. 900 of Unpaid Taxes.

Washington, May 29.-The validity
1899 of the state of New York was sus-

United States in a decision handed

mense interests and it is stated that
over S24,O 600 of unpaid taxes in

Justice Brewer delivered the opinion
of the court. The cases have attracted
much attention from the time or their
inception. not only because new prin-
ciples of taxation We're involved IN
their settlement, but because OF the
larger interests involved. The case
constituted a direct attack upon the
special franchise tax law of the state
of New York of 1899 when President
Roosevelt was governor. The law sub
iects TO a system of general adj vaiorem
taxation. the special and local fran
chises of the public utilities, such as
street cars and electric light. gas and
telephone plants, occupying the public
streets.
The cases were argued for the cor
porations by Elihu Root and W. Z.
Guthrie and for the state by Attorney
General Mayer and Louis Marshal. The
law was sharply assailed by Messrs.
Root and Guthrie as unconstitutional,

NAY REACH VLADIVOSTOK
Vessels That Escaped Will Probably
Find Refu@e-ImDOrtant Operations
Proceeding.

London, May 3O.-According TO the
correspondent Of the Daily Mail at
Seoul, Korea, early on Saturday morn
ing Vice Admiral Togo, with practi-
cally all the powerful lighting war
ships of the Japanese navy, was at
Masampho, Korea, when wireless sig
nails from his scouts between Tsu and
Quelpart Islands announced the ap-
pIoach of the Russian fieet in full
force.
\ few hours later the scouts report
ed that the Russians were not ascend
ing the western channel as had been
anticipated, but that they were coming
up the eastern channel, which caused
some surprise.
Admiral Togo Immediately started
at full speed around the north Of Tsu
island and when he doubled the is
land he saw the Russians coming in
two columns. He then brought a ter
rife fire to bear on the flank of the
port column, and as the Russians fell
into disorder he forced them steadily
eastward towards the Japanese coast
where they were attacked by every
vessel that few the Japanese flag.
Repeated torpedo attacks were deliver
ed, some Of them with the greatest
success.
The vessels which escaped, the corre-
spondent says, will probably be able to
reach VladivOstok and he adds that
other operations of the utmost impor-
lance are proceeding.

FOL: BENEFIT OF TRUCKEf
Eu.y fo Make Out Claims for Losses
on Strawberries.

The editor of The Journal and like
wise President Hill OF the association
have both received letters of inquiry
lately from growers in this territory
asking how they should 20 about max
ing out their claims for damages occa-
stoned by the car shortage this year
and delays of the berries while in ran
sit. This matter was discussed by
President Hill and the writer fully to-
day. and we are authorized In say that
all claims of this character should he
as speedily prepared rs possible and
forwarded to the agent Of the Truck
Growers Association. Mr.. H.. T. Bau-
man, Wilmington, y. {. President
Hill ~admonishes the growers TO put in
no extravagant claims under any cir
cumstances, for whatever is Il loss to-
the growers by reason of failure to
transport properly n deliver on time
in the different markets will be no
gain TO the transportation companies.
If Il man picked his berries in good
understandable shape and delivered
them TO h railroad companies accord

beyond he published schedule Of the
railroad company, and damaged as the
result of that delay in transit and de-
livery 20 per cent. or - per cent. or

the company is responsible for the loss
and liable to the growers for such dam

OF course we all know that many

are other instances where berries went

There are other cases where berries

but were 20 long delayed in transit
that they missed all the important
markets n connections and didn't
even bring the freight charges, while
i'm other cases they brought no more
than the freight charges. In matters
OF this character about the easiest way
to get at ii O u be to ascertain the
selling prices Of berries on the market
TO which the grower made shipment
the day such berries arrived, and
deduct the difference between what
his berries sold for damaged and what
other good berries not damaged sold
at. In last ISSUE and likewise this
issue We published the market quota
tons on the different markets each

Issue and the present issue and ascer-
tain for themselves the quotations on
each market and get a fair average
value, and i'm this way make out their
claims. The Journal would emphasize
the admonitiOns of President Hill for
the growers TO refrain from making
any unreasonable and seemingly ex-
travagant claims for damages. Such n
policy on the par Of the " would
do no good TO any one. but on the
