Won Essen's Views Rosy.
(By the Associated Press.)

10Y tIIC <ASoOCIdlCd
st. Petersburg, May 4.-2:15 a. m.
Captain Won Essen, the hero of
Port Arthur and one of the ablest of
Russian naval officers, discussing with
the Associated Press the coming naval
battle in the Far East, took a rosy
view of Rojestvenskys prospects and
asserted that he had great advant-
age in many respects over the origi-
nal Port Arthur squadron. Captain
Won Essen declared that the engage
ment between Togo and Rojestvensky
was bound to be at long range. He
smiled at the idea that the Japanese
might be able to disorganize or dam
age the Russian squadron by torpedo
attacks, pointing out the impotency
of such tactics after the first surprise
at Port Arthur. He expressed the
opinion that the battle would be de-
cided by the twelve inch guns.
Captain Won Essen commented on
the high state of efficiency to which
Admiral Rojestvensky has brought
his squadron during the long months
voyage eastward, and said that the
results of target practice with the
big guns corroborated the opinion of
British critics that the Workmanship
of the Russians would be apt to sur
prise the Japanese.

Chicago. May 3.-Rioting in the
streets today in connection with the
teamsters strike was so prolonged and
so fierce that many of the leading
business men have concluded that
there will be neither peace in the city
nor safety for business interests I'M
til the State troops have been called
out to restore order.
A committee of members of the
Employers Association left for
Springfield today to confer with Gov
ernor Dineen and to request him to
give orders to the State troops. The
labor union have several representa-
likely that they will also be heard
before any action is taken by the
governor. Chief of Police O'Neill
says he is confident that he has con-
troll of the situation and can keep
peace in the city. Mayor Dunno
supports him in this view, and has
declared that in his opinion the emer-
gency has not arisen requiring the
presence of troops.
On the other hand business men
point to the long list of injured which
marked the rioting of yesterday and
the greater number of persons who
were hurt today, and declare that
these lists of injured alone are suffi-
cient proof that the police department
Is not sufficiently strong to cope with
the situation. No complaint is made
against the police department, for,
the officers have dispersed every mob
with which they have come in contact
and have guarded wagons night and
day with the greatest vigilance. But
despite the utmost efforts of the police
fighting continues in the streets and
is, if possible more vicious on each
succeeding day.
While policemen have been able to
dispense mobs and guard the wagons
they have not been able to prevent
the many attacks that are made on
nOn-union men in the business portion
of the city alone. The situation, bust
ness men say, will be ten-fold worse
when express wagons and retail de-
livery wagons are sent to remote parts
of the city.
Despite the order of Mayor Dunno,
many wagons of concerns, against
which strikes have been declared,
were handled today by men armed
with ries and shot guns.

thing he could do by which they
might be able to reach a verdict, but
the jurors remained steadfast and
finally declared their verdict dis

Recorder Golf before dismissing
how they stood.
Future procedure in the case is I'M
certain. 1t has been intimated by the
District Attorneys office that the peo-
pie probably would not attempt

ST. Petersburg, May 3.-The Ad-

to whether Admiral Nebogatoff and
Admiral Rojestvensky have joined

in naval circles that the juncture
has not been effected. Indeed, some
doubt is expressed whether Neboga-
toff's division has yet entered the
China Sea.
The Admiralty officials vigorously
deny any intention of sending the
protected cruiser Askold and the tor
pedo boat destroyer Gromovoi, intern
ed at Shanghai, to join Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, and some resentment is
shown against the United States and
Great Britain for having officially
warned China upon the basis of Jap
