FOUND IN A BOWLING ALLEY
Young ROebling Expressed His Read.
iness to Return Home.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 27.-Sieg-
frid ROebling, the Asheyille boy, who
has been missing so many days, left
Knoxville at 80 O'Clock this morning
for Asheville in company with Judge
Thomas A. Jones, and Edward Holmes,
two Asheville men who came to Knox
vile Saturday night in search of him.
Tp tesEs anisht the police had no In
formation concerning ROebling, al
though there had been several callers
at the police station during the day in
regard to the story that young Roeb-
ling has been seen in this city. Satur-
day night Judge Jones and Mr.. Holmes
went to Chilhowee Park, an amuse-
ment resort four miles out Of the city,
in search of the boy. At the park
theatre they were told that no one an
swering his description had been seen
there. They next visited the bowling
alleys. and there seated in a chair was
young Roebling, intently watching a
game. Approaching him, young Roeb-
ling cordially greeted Judge Jones and
III answer to question as to whether
he was ready to go back home with
him, replied that he was. Asked why
he left home, Roebling stated that
he did not want to go to school longer,
and had written his parents. He could
not see why the newspapers were max
ing such fuss over him as his par
ents knew he would return home when
school was out. Roebling was attired
III sweater and cap. The first in
formation the police had of his finding

churia is believed to have. been sus-
pended. Although the japanese ac-
cumulated reinfOrcements and large
quantities of supplies ON the mainland
since Admiral Rojestyensky appeared
in Chinese waters, the dictates Of pru-
dence, or the decision of Admiral Togo
against the advisability of accepting
an open battle with Rojestvensky may
have induced change in Oyama's s
plans. The correspondent of the AS
sociated Press at the Russian head
quarters confirms the theory of a
change in the Japanese plans. He tel
egraphs that the Japanese are retiring
at the slightest pressure on their right
or center and are shifting eastward,
seemingly with General Kuroki devei-
Oping turning movement against
General Linevitch's left, for the pur-
pose of screening General kamamura' s
army, which is reported to be still fur
ther east, presumably ready to march
ON Vladivostok. The Japanese move
ments, however, apparently, are await
ing the result of the sea fight. The
correspondent also says the eyes of the
whole Russian army are centered on
Rojestvensky.

ALL CONFIDENCE IN TOGO
Japanese AnxiOusly Awaiting News Of
an Engagement Between the Fleets

Toxic, May p, 2:45 p. m.--All Toxic
is eagerly awaiting advices of an en-
gagement between the naval forces Of
Admiral Togo and Rear Admiral Ro-
jestyensky. 1t is believed that the
fleet of Russian vessels, seen at Saddle
Island, comprised the main fighting
strength of Rear Admiral ROjestven-
sky's forces, and that after coaling
there the Russians brayely headed for
Isu Islands, electing to give the battle
il the event of meeting the warships
under command of the Japanese ad-
miral.
The fact that Rear Admiral Rojest-
yensky appears to have used the For
1uosan channel has created surprise, as
it was generally expected that he
would pursue course eastward Of
Eormosa. This increases the belief
that the Russians a1e anxious to give
Lattle.
1t is rumOred that the Russian fleet
divided into two sGuadrons as they
approached Korean channels today.
The navy department refrains from
confirming or denying any of the score
of reports circulated through the cap
lila today, and has promised to advise
the public in good time Of any develop
ments. The people have received the
news of the prospective fight with Ella
ton, so great is their confidence in
the prowess of Admiral Togo. While
it is thought a portion of the Russian
fleet is certain to reach Vladivostok, it
is believed that Admiral Togo is bound
to seriously cripple the main fighting
ships of his adversary.

Importance without a special session
He expressed to the President the opin-

Senator Cullom, OF Illinois, VINO

RUSSIANS FEEL CONFIDENT
Something Like Genuine Enthusiasm
Aroused - The Emperor Shows
Great Anxiety.

St Petersburg, May q, 100 a. m.
The Russian foreign office and the
admiralty thus far has been entirely
dependent upon the Associated Fress
dispatches from Toxic for news con-
cerning the movements of the warships
in the Korean strait, and up TO mid
night were in receipt Of no teleSrams
from the Russian fleet.
The Associated Press is able to an
nounce that the Eladivostok cruisers
have left that port and are now acting
in general cooperation with Vice Ad-
miral ROjestvensky, under plans pre-
pared for the present emergency. Cap
tain iBroussikoff, who is well known in
the United States commands the ar
mored cruiser Gromoboi.
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's suc-
cess in reaching the Korean strait, the
gateway to Vladivostok, has aroused
something like genuine enthusiasm.
The showy Russian capital, on the
banks of the Neva, arrayed in gala at
tire and Illuminated in honor of the
anniversary Of the coronation of EN-
peror Nicholas, seemed EN- fete for the
occasion. For once st. Petersburg was
rot pessimistic. Everywhere the re
Iort current that Rojestyensky had
defeated Togo was accepted as true,

both In the down town streets and ut
the lumber yards, the leaders of the
'teamsters strike and the officers OF
the building trades were engaged in
quarrels 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 the latter
lost no time today in calling on the
representatives of the building trades
and demanding what they meant by
going back on the teamsters in the
thick of the fight. 1t was plain To the
teamsters that, in the opinion OF the
building trades the drivers had over.
stepped their jurisdiction in causing
members Of their union to do construc-
tive work. The particular cause of
complaint was that the teamsters EN-
ployed in handling safes and vaults
had placed the safes I'm buildings. This
part of the work, the building trades
contend, belongs to the builders.
President Shea, of the teamsters un-
ion declared that he would order out
every safe mover and machinery rig
ger in Chicago by Monday morning,
and stop work at all buildings where
the members Of the building trades
are employed. No attention was paid
ii this threat by the building trades
representatives, and finally a commit
tee or the teamsterS was appointed TO
confer with the building trades over
the question Of jurisdiction.
Several new efforts were ade during
the day to settle the strike, but none
OF them amounted to anything.
1t is admitted by the labor leaders
that critical stage i'm the strike is ut
Rand. Charles DOdd, president of Chi
cago Federation of Labor, today said:

danger point in this strike / do not
mean that the strike must be called of.
but that for the sake OF the unions, as
well as for the sake OF the business in
terests of Chicago, 1t should come to
nend"
There were numerous fights between
policemen and strike sympathizers in
all parts OF the city today. Most of
the scrimmages, however, occurred I'm
the lumber yards. Twelve strikers were
arrested charged with assault. Police

that Rear Admiral RoJestyensky S

and i'm the streets, the Russian admi-
rails 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's advices, but perhaps for
once the Russian people, so easily prey
te despair, might be pardoned for
their premature jubilation after the un-
broken series Of reverses suffered on
sea and land.
The authorities, however, while
elated over news, did not indulge in un-
warranted rejoicing, but instead await
ed almost breathless for further news.
The light i'm the admiralty office burn
ed far into the night, and the fact that
DO further dispatch had arrived from
Toxic, where alone the secret of the
real situation is known, was considered
reaSSuring.
Admiral Wirenus, chief of the gen.
eral staff of the navy, said to the AS
sociated Press:
'If Rojestvensky has cleared the
Korean straits, God bless him, he has
open water ahead. If he has sue
ceeded in mystifying the enemy and
entered the Japanese sea with his
force unimpaired he has earned the
title Of master of naval strategy.
At Tsarko-SelO, where it is realized
the whole fortune of war and pos
sibly the fate of the dynasty was
stacked upon the issue, the greatest
anxiety prevailed. Emperor Nicholas
received the news with satisfaction
but without elation, as an indication
that Rojestvensky had outwitted his
adversary and had cleared the difficult
entrance to the Japanese sea
Throughout the emperor has displayed
the greatest confidence in Rojestven-
sky's ability to turn the trick, but with
the arrival of d decisive moment he
showed nervousness and repeatedly
had officials at court inquire of the ad
miralty and the foreign Office for dis
patches, but neither ministry could re-
lieve the imperial suspense.
Captain Won Essen, of Port Arthur
fame, and one of the most capable ol
Russian naval officers, is one of those
who believes that Rojestvensky' arri
val in the Korean strait is not an affair
of mystification, but is due to the rela
tive strength of the fleets. He eX
pressed to the Associated Press the ut
| most confidence that ROjestvensky
would reach vladivOstOk without fifht
ing decisive battle, Togo's fleet being
| too weak, he believed, to meet that o.
Russian in open combat.

cf Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, mas ell
tered the straits of Korea on the hnai
stage of its long journey from the
Baltic sea, whence it sailed in Octo-
Der last for its substituted destlna-
nation. VladivOstok, it's original obJec-
tive point. Port Arthur having mean-
while fallen into the hands of tue Jap
anese. Beyond the fact that the Rus-
slams were yesterday in the vicinity Oh
the Tsu Islands, all is conjecture. Ap-
rarently the only avenues OF news
transmission are held by the Japanese
and the authorities of that country are
exercising rigorous censorship. The
naucity of information which the CEN
sor has permitted to pass has formed
the basis for the belief in high quar-
ters about st. Petersburg that an en-
cagement has been fought, and that
the Japanese have suffered defeat,
the theory being that were the facts
otherwise they would have been imme-
diately given to the world. At all
events. the course taken by Rojestven-
sky's fleet, through the narrow waters
eastward of Korea, may be accepted as
evidence that he is bent on forcing
lego to accept battle, the alternative
being the bombardment of Japanese
ports and the sweeping of the japanese
merchant marine from those waters.
