Edward White, liza Douglas street book
Keeper employed at the Peoples store,

Is years Of age, went to the lake about

for something like an hour, secured a

water o. the bathing place He had been
in the water but a short time when he

.wTTE PREPARING FOR WORK
Russian Ambassadors Has a Confer
ence with American Repre-
sentatfves.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 1s.-M. witte
spent an hour with Mr. Meyer. the Ameri-
can ambassador, at the Kleinmeichel pal
ace today discussing the forthcoming peace
conference. Before leaving for Paris next
Monday NJ. witte will have still another
audience with the emperor. In the mean
time he must pay a round OF official visits
to all the imperial ministers
NJ. Witte is expected to he the bearer
Of personal message from the emperor
to President Roosevelt.
The Associated Press Is authorized by
NJ. Hartwig, director of the first depart
ment of the Foreign office. to deny in the
most categorical fashion the report of the
alleged contents of the instructions of M.
Witte, published in Paris by the Echo de
Paris and elsewhere abroad.
Reports pretending to reveal the char
acter of the instructions to the Russian
plenipotentiaries are mere guesswork, -
said NJ. Hartwig. These instructions have
been seen by only four persons, the em-
peror, NJ. witte. Foreign Minister Lams-
dorff and myself
THE Echo de Paris report says they
consist OF five pages. whereas the fact is
they cover over twenty pages.
The paper says the instructions are
very vague, while on the contrary they
are very detailed. On one point only, ac-
cordng to the Echo de Paris. are they alb
solutely specific. namely, as TO the leveling
of the fortihcatiOns OF Vladivostok: but
1 can say to you that there are many other
points"
NJ. Hartwig also pronounced the stories
that M. Muravieffs displacement was the
result of intrigues by Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff to be pure inventions.
The Novosti says it believes that the
desire of the anti-German coalition, which
Great Britain is trying to engineer to re-
store Russia as a threat against German
aggression, should be a powerful diplo-
matte weapon in the hands of the Russian
'plenipotentiaries.
Europe wants to end the war" says
the paper, "as Russia's preoccupation in
the far east destroys the political equi-
| librium. Austria is in danger from Ger
many, which seeks a thoroughfare to the
Adriatic. in exchange for compensation in
the Balkan peninsula. Germany has pre-
tensions now which it would not have
dreamed of before the Russo Japanese war.
It is evident from the Morocco incident
that Europe wants peace in order that
Russia may safeguard 1t against German
aggression"
Prince Mestersky, editor Of Grashdanin,
in warmly supporting NJ Whites appoint
ment, declares him to be the only Rus
sian statesman equal to the task set him.
| Reports are printed that NJ. Putk6vsky,
| formerly Russian financial agent at New
York, will be added to the commission,
or will replace one of the counsellors to
the plenipotentiaries, Nj. Shipon, director
of the Russian Treasury department, but
these reports cannot be confirmed to-
night.
Count Ignateff instead of Prince sviato-
polk Mirsky, will succeed NJ Bouligin as
minister of the Interior, according to the
Slovo.

A serious riot was narrowly averted to-

places Of the strikers have been living

night when the union men were leaving

were sent for to their headquarters rearby
and a general fight was soon in progress.
Clubs and bricks were being Lssd Indis-
criminately and several snots were fired,
but police who had been summoned when
the trouble commenced arrived in time to
prevent bloodshed. 1t was necessary to
make several arrests, however, before the
opposing factions could be subdued.
Later in the day another disturbance
was furnished by the delegates to meet
ing of the Chicago Federation of Labor.
Dissa tisfaction over the manner in which
the election of officers of the federation
was being carried on brought about the
trouble. During the disturbance rUvol-

boxes were destroyed. Michael Donnelly,
president of the Amalgamated Butchers
Union OF America, was severely beaten by
the rioters and was taken unconscious
from the hall. Many other persons were
cut and bruised, but Donnelly was the only
one who received serious injury It was
necessary to call the police to restore or
