INSISTS ON CONFERENCE
Germany Refuses to Aeeede to France
On Moroccan Question.

On Moroccan Question.
Paris June 2S-Germany's reply To
the French note on the subject of Mo-
rocco was presented during a confer
ence between Prince Radolin, the Ger
man ambassador, and Premier Rouvier
at the foreign Office While most
friendly in form and entirely lacking
in peremptory tone, Germany's response
none the less maintains the position
that the Moroccan question must be
regulated by a conference of the pow
ers, without any agreement in advance
limiting the scope of such conference.
This was accompanied by the presenta.
ton of Germany's general point OF
view in such an amicable spirit as to
disarm the suspicion entertained con-
cerning Germany's Interior motives.
Tension in official quarters has nota. |
bly, diminished, and this is only ex-
plainable on the theory that a confer !
ence will be accepted. as Germany's {
response does not make any notable
However, the agreeable
tone adopted by Germany and the en-
tire absence Of menace appear to create
the most favorable impression. This is
most fortunate turn of affairs, fo1
while France sincerely seeks to avoid
rupture, anything offensive to the
national pride might have inhamed
public opinion beyond the point of con.

KuRopATklN REPORTED KILLED
10000 Russians Also Said to Be Cut
of BY Nogi's Army.


of BY Nogi's Army.
St. Petersburg, June 2S.-A rumol
spread throughout the city last night
that General Kuropatkin had been
| killed. This rumor was connected
sometimes with a report that 10000
Russians had been cut of by General
Nogi's army and that Kuropatkin had
been taken prisoner.
Nothing conhrmatOry of these ru-
mors has been received either by the
general stan or in press dispatches.
A report received from General Line
witch indicates that the Japanese ad-
vance continues steadily. and that the
Russian van posts, under pressure, are
retiring, fighting.
The military experts take anything
but a cheerful view Of General Line
vitch's situation. They do not believe
he can be surrounded. but apparently
the experts do not consider the possi-
bility of a Russian victory. Linevitch's
retirement to Harbin and the isolation
of VladivOstOk seem to be regarded as
foregone conclusions when Field Mar |
shal Oyama strikes.
The foreign Office has issued a COM
confirming the statement
made in the Associated Press dis
patches that Russia has accepted the
first 10 days in August as the time
within which the first meeting of the
peace plenipOtentiaries will take place
The precise date depends upon the
line of the arrival at Washington OF
he Japanese representatives.

state Of sIeae a. Lodz.

Ledz. Russian Poland, June 81
Since the proclamation of martial Law
the situation has become more quiet
The governor general has proclaimed
a state of siege at LOdz.
The rumor of an approaching mas.
Bacre of Jews has caused 10000 Jews
TO leave the town.
The victims Of last weeks outbreak
total over 1900. Thus far the bodies of
343 Jews and 21S Christians have been
buried. The wounded number over 700
persons.
Fridays fighting was of a character
vastly different from the mob riots of
February.
The strikers paraded the streets in
martial array, and when threatened by
the imperial troops threw up barri-
cades of paving stones. This was re-
peated in a dozen parts of the city.
in every instance the troops. after
searching the barricades with rifle vol
leys. stormed them and bayoneted the
defenders. The strikers defended
themselves with revolvers and bombs
Through the precautions of the author
tties none of them had been able to
secure rifles.
The slaughter included women and
children as we'll as men. Wives of the |
strikers fought with desperation, and |
in the first encounter a girl of l3. 1
armed with a revolver. blew out the |
brains of a Cossack. In the same en-
counter a man hurled a bomb into the
ranks of the Cossacks and killed or
wounded 20 of them.
After the troops had carried all the
street barricades the strikers, in groups
of from five to 100, lurked in the side
streets, and fired volleys at the SOL
diery marching along the main thor
Oughfares. After each such attack the
soldiers gave pursuit and slaughtered
the fleeing strikers.
Mobs that gathered in the streets
were subjected to volley firing When
dispersed. thousands of the strikers
climbed to the tops Of houses and from
these points of vantage hurled bombs
and threw vitriOl. Soldiers maddened
by vitriol burns committed outrages of

s1O,OOO IN WAGES SAVED.
Brown System Money in Railroaders'
 Pockets.

Pockets,
 The Brown deInerit system, recently adopted by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, has saved near ly ten thousand dollars in wages for the employees of the road in the two months during which the system has been in practice.
 Before June the road used a system of suspension without pay for all viola tions of the rules on the part Of em- ployes. Different violations were pun ished by suspension of from one day to a new number depending upon the se riousness of the offense. Under the Brown system, demerits are given to each man instead of suspending him. One demerit is given in each case equal to the number of days of suspension. By this scheme an employe does not lose any time or wages and yet he is punished for violation of rules. When an employe receives ninety demerits he is reprimanded by the superintendent. When he receives one hundred he is discharged.
 During the month of June, the first lonIn the system was, used, the em- ployes were on their good behavior On the whole road but three engineers were discharged and the engineers offending alone received $1,635.75, which they would have lost under the suspension plan. During July $t,9s545 was saved in wages. Six conductors have been discharged in six months and S1,759.95 has been saved in wages. The firemen have saved $52S.5O in wages, the train men a,SO6.7O, yaramen s1,945.2O, and operators $465.75.
 The total is $9,977.S5. saved in wages. Under the old system this money would be lost to the men while they were un- der suspension.
 The plan was adopted by the road to stimulate and encourage better perfor- nance of duty.
