CHICAGO TRANSFERS sTRIKE
Adjustment by Mediation Seems to be
 Very Remote.

Chicago, June 4.Adjustment of the teamsters strike by mediation seems as remote tonight as it did two months ago. Peace negotiations have been abandoned for the present, and the strike will be allowed to take its na- tural course, according to President Shea of the teamsters' organization. All the business firms now involved in the trouble refuse to concede anything further in the controversy, which they now regard as a thing of the past.
 Peace negotiations are off for all time, said Levy Msyer, chief coun- sel for the employers, tonight. We absolutely are finished with all confer- ences with the strikers. The only thing which prevented a settlement of the whole trouble last night was pique on the part of President Shea, because he had been sighted in the conferences, and because of his arrest in connection with libel charges filed by MT. Thorne, of Montgomery Ward & Co.,
 s'The employers blocked a settlement last night" said President Shea to-day. Their objection to the mems wearing union buttons and refusal to agree not to discriminate against the strikers was all that prevented a calling off of the strike"

 Washington, June 4.-Acting secre- tary Loornis of the state department has been officiall informed by Ambassa- dor Meyer at St. Petersburg of the pro- visions of the proposed new law in Rus sia under which all American pass ports, including those for citizens of the Hebrew faith, will be recognized there. This Information is conflrmatory of the press dispatches of week ago, which announced the approval by the council of the empire of the recommendation of the passport commission, which includ- ed universal recognition of foreign pass- ports.
 Mr. Loomis has communicated the contents of Ambassador Meyers dis patch to Simon Wolf of this city. chair man of the civil and religious rights section of the union of American He- brew congregations. This organization, MT. Wolf said tonight, had been work ing for twenty-five years to secure the full recognition of passports granted to Hebrews who desired to travel in Rus- sia and the final triumph of the efforts of those who have labored to this end. he said, is source of satisfaction to Hebrews in the United States.

Kaiser Entertains Guests Who Will Att tend His Sons Wedding. Berlin, June 4.--Al the visiting princes and princesses dined with Elm peror William and Empress Augusta Victoria tonight in honor of the Dueh- ess Cecilia and the crown prince, Fred erick William, who are to be married next Tuesday. Altogether 24O persons were present at the dinner, and includ- ed among the guests were cabinet min- isters, generals and admirals.
 Duchess Cecilia madr remarkable personal impression on the guests. She was animated, cordial and unaffected. Emperor William took Grand Duchess Anastasia to table and by his atten- tions to her quite disproved the storoes of discord between them.
 At the conclusion of the dinner Duih- ess Cecilia called for two glasses of champagne and handed them to the two pages who bore her train. There were no toasts. The dinner ended as a torchlight procession of students with flags and music came down Under den Linden. The royal party went out on a balcony, where the duchess and the crown prince stood in a brilliant light so that the marchers could see them.
 Five hundred persons were either overcome by the heat Saturday or in- jured in the crowds which came to view the entrance of the Duchess Cecilia into Berlin. Tihty-six of them are in a serious condition.

CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
Why Russians Essayed to Go Through
 Tsu Strait.

Tokio. June delayed in transmits sion).--A telegram from Sasebo says:
 "A member of the Russian staff, be- ing asked why the Russian ships took the risk of essaying the Tsu strait, said: We were confident of victory. Reaching Vladivostok was not the only object of our fleet. The emperor commanded us on leaving the Baltic to fight and defeat our enemy, and we were anxious to obey his order. We were confident and ready to fight from the start. Our mission is ended
 "Of the captives brought to Sasebo the battleship Nicolai I. is the most seriously damaged. There are many holes in her port side over three feet in diameter, and the majority of her quick-firing guns on the port side were destroyed. Her forward funnel is part ly shot away and one hole along the water line measures ten feet"
 A dispatch from Maizuru says that the Japanese battleship Asaihi was largely engaged with the Russian bat tleship Borodino. After the Borodonio took fire and began sinking the Asahi suspended firing, but the Borodino con- tinued to fire. Practically, her last shot struck the Asahi astern on the starboard side, killing Lieutenant Mo rishita and seven other men. Morishi- ta's leg was shot off, but, using his sword as a crutch, he managed to rach the deck, where he died. A dying sailor asked for paper on which to write a farewell message to the Japan csc navy. He wrote: ''Banzai! l die a glorious death.'

Committee of Seventy's Attitude in
 Coming Election.
 Philadelphia, June 4.-The executive committee of the committee of seventy, the reform organization which took a prominent part in the gas lease fight and which had a ticket known as the "city party in the field at the last city election, issued its declaration of principles tonight for the coming po- ltical campaign. It says: .-
 '"The main end which this commit tee has in view is the good government of our city by the people and for the people. To accomplish this result it proposes to devote it's best efforts as follows: @5sG - 4...
 '1-To the election of honest, capable and disinterested officials. And to this end it will aid the constituted author ities by every means in it's power in purging the assessors list and in the honest enforcement of the election laws.
 "2-In advocating personal registra- tion in obedience to the mandate of the people which the recent legislature so disobeyed.
 "3-In advocating the repeal of the amendments to the Bullitt bill, which serve to mutilate the best charter we we ever had. (The recent legislature amended the city charter so that after Mayor Weaver's term expires, councils, and not the mayor, shall have the pow CT of appointing and removing the di- rectors of the departments of public safety and public works)
 "4-In insisting upon the following principles in the administration of city affairs: That the police shall be entirely disassociated from politics; that tenure of office in city departments shall not be dependent upon political contribu- tions or services; that all contracts and proposals for the use or disposition of the city's franchises shall be given the largest publicity and ample time for consideration"
 The declaration urges all citizens to organize under the platform of the "city party" and continuing says: ''The committee is not advocating mu- nicipal or private ownership, free silver or gold standard, socialism or aristoc- racy, tariff or free trade, or anything else except honest officials. fair elec- tions the repeal of the Ripper bills, and square deal for everybody"

ENOUIST ASHORE.
Visits Governor Wright i'm Company
 With Admiral Train.

Manila, June 5.--Rear Admiral En- quist, accompanied by Rear Admiral Train and the French consul formally called on Governor General Wright this morning. After the usual greetings had been exchanged, Governor Wright ask ed:
 Admiral Enquist, do you wish to stay at Manila permanently?''
 Rear Admiral Enquist replied: "My ships are unseaworthy. I have not heard from my government, and I re- quest time to make repairs''
 Governor Wright then said that &C., cording to his construction of the neu- trality laws the Russian vessels could remain long enough to make necessary repairs, and after these were finished they must leave within twenty-four hours, or dismantle and interne. Rear Admiral Enquist requested permission to bring his ships behind the break water for repairs. This request was granted him, and the ships will be moved Tuesday morning.
 Narita Goro, Japanese consul, called on Governor Wright just before Rear Admiral Enquist called and made in- quiries regarding the probable disposi- tion of the Russian warships. On leav- ing, Goro met Rear Admiral Enquist in the corridor of the governors residence and tendered him a profound saluta- ton.

WARSHIPS TO ATTACK
 THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Lo0DLESSSTRUGGLEBETWEEN
 LAND AND SEA FORCES.
Only Joint Operations This Year of the Army and Nayy-To be Conducted Under Rules Agreed Upon by a Joint Board of Army and Navy omcers- Fortress Monroe First to be Tested.

Fortress Monroe First to be Tested. Washington, June 4.-Sixteen war ships will attack the defenses of Wash ington and Baltimore at midnight on June Il, and continue their offensive operations for six days and nights.
 Meanwhile the fortresses along Chesa- peake Bay and the Potomac river, con- stituting the artillery districts of the Chesapeake, Washington and Balti-
 more, will put forth every defense of which they are capable. With it all, the struggle is to be bloodless, practi- eaily noiseless, devoid of the speetacu- lar and intensely interesting only to
 the army and navy experts who are playing the game and know the con- structive effect of the unloaded mines and the empty shells. e.-,z ....--z..
 These exercises are to constitute the only joint operations of the army and navy during the year. They have
 been designated joint exercises" to
 distinguish them from the more elab-
 crate programme of combined army and navy manoeuvresn which was first planned, but which failed of approval for lack of an adequate appropriation from congress. The operations are to be conducted under rules which have
 been agreed upon by a joint board of army and navy officers. Considerable iportance is attached to the distinction between manoeuvres and joint exer- cises. Manoeuvres are held to apply to operations where actual war conditions Iare simulated, while exercises mean only that certain prescribed problems Eare to be attempted. In the present instance the object of each of several forms of attack by the navy will be to demonstrate the strength or weakness of some particu- lar phase of the defense.
 The results will be known only at the conclusion of the exercises, and then
 known only to the proper authorities. This precaution is emphasized as inl- ,portant that the character and strength Eof the various defenses may not. be- come known to possible enemies of the country.
 None of the ships of the navy will be ruled out of the action by the umpires, and none of the guns of the fortifica- tions will be declared silenced. -
 From the information obtainable the programme first contemplates the test | of Fortress Monroe. Expert artillery opinion has long held that this fortress is the principal defense of the Chesa-
 peake and consequently the cities of Washington and Baltimore. Her big guns are said to cover the channel completely, and, together with the mine fields, to constitute a barrier that
 would be impossible to any hostile (Continued on Eighth Page.)

ROOSEVELTvS OFFER.
Rendering of His Good Offices Favor
 ably Received,

ff < '
 ably Received.
 St. Petersburg, June 5--2:10 a. m President Roosevelt's tender of his good offices to bring about peace is re- ceived with general favor in the press and by the public, and desire that some steps should be taken towards se- curing an honorable peace is increas- ingly manifest.
 The Russ declares that the presi- dents offer should be commended as an act of friendship tending to bring out Japar's terms of peace and Rus sia's acceptance of an offer which would not mean surrender oh hunili- ating terms. The paper maintains at the same time that negotiations, if be- gun, must be direct and that there must be no intervention by other pow CTS.
 The Bourse Gazette says that Russia must make the best possible use of the friendly offices of the United States and Great Britain. This paper, as well as the Syno Tchestva and the Nasha- zhsin and others, advances the idea. that Japan will be disposed to grant better terms to the Russian people than to the bureaucrats who began the. war; These papers reiterate the de- mand for a zemsky sobor to settle the question.
 Even the~G Grashdanin declares per- emptorily for peace, the Novoe Vremya alone dissenting from the general cho- rus by saying that peace is not so es- sential as foreign and internal ene- mics imagine. and picturing Great Britain, the United States and the con- tinental powers as beginning to trenl- ble in face of the yellow danger. T
 Members of the diplomatic corps on Sunday expressed their pleasure that President Roosevelt had taken the lead in urging Russia to give up the prose- cution of the war, but they said they were apprehensive that the presidents efforts would be fruitless. Baron Rosen, the new ambassador to Washington, does not seem to be ac- celerating his departure on accounts Of in the United States. He will sail on July 27.
