HAYS SUCCESSOR.
Root Unlikely to Give Up His Rich
Business Income.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND Ohio, July 5.-Discussion
as to the successor of Secretary Hay now
centers about Eihu Root. special from
on board the train bearing the President
to Cleveland reaching here today says:
''The President before he retired Tuesday
night had a confidential talk with Root,
who Joined the party at Jersey City Dur
ing this consultation, it is understood, the
President asked Root to consider the idea
of returning to the cabinet in the fall. Al
though 1t is understood that Root gave the
President no definite answer there being no
out-and-out offer. it is believed that he
told the President that his business con-
nection made since his retirement from the
cabinet would prevent his re-entering pub
lie life.
ITO give up a business paying 100000 a
year to take cabinet job at $1,000 is the
meaning of the Presidents offer to Root,
and 1t is scarcely probable that the lawyer
will accept unless the chief executive
makes 1t plain that such crisis Is immi-
nent that no hand but Roots can steer the
ship of state"

English Universities.

Special Cablegram tc The Star.
LONDON, July 5.-The Society of Aneri-
can Women in London is starting a move
ment to found number of scholarships for
American women in the English universi-
ties. The scheme contemplates a two
years postgraduate course. 1t is at first
intended to confine the operations plan to
Bedford College. But it has been decided
to combine all the universities-of Ford and
Cambridge, including Grton and Newnham
colleges and London.
The scheme will be formally presented at
the biennial meeting of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs at Boston, when an
endeavor will be made to secure the funds
for the founding of ninety-six perpetual

ST. PETERSBURG. July 5.-The battle
ship Knaz Potemkine has arrived at Theo-
dosia, a port on the eastern shore of the
Crimean peninsula, without the torpedo boat
which she towed out of the harbor of Kus-
tenji. 1t is believed the battleship took the
crew of the torpedo boat on board and
abandoned or sank her while on the way to
Theodosa.
The destroyer. Smetlvia, which went In
pursuit of the Kniaz Potemkne, evidently
failed to overtake her, she has not been
reported
All idea of trying to sink the Kniaz Po-
temktne has now been abandoned by the
admiralty. as report from the authorities
of Theodosfa shows there are dissensons
among the mutineers, a portion of the crew
favoring surrendering. Fighting is be-
lleved to have occurred on board the bat
tleshfp during the voyage. This is sup
ported by the demand for a doctor The
snip is short OF provisions and COAL and
the admiralty believes her career will soon
be ended The ringleaders of the mutiny
however, realizing that they have put their
heads In the moose, and that they have
nothing to lose. have demanded coal and
provisions at Theodosa under the penalfv
of bombarding the town.
They are trying to make for Poti Trans
caucasia, where they may get the support
OF the revoiutlonists, Batoum. which is for
tined, being too dangerous a haven.
In the absence of supporting war shipa
it is doubtful whether the authorities Of
Theodosia are able to resist the demands OF
the mutineers.
The American steamer Garonne, with
refugees from Port Arthur on board is at
Theodosia.
All the foreign shipping in the Black sea
has been warned against the Kniaz Potem-
kline, which, in view of the desperate sit.
uation of her crew, will probably not hesi-
tate to hoist the skull and cross bones.

Cossacks Fired on Strikers.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 5.-Cossacks
fired on the Putiloff works strikers this
morning. The trouble started by the
arrest OF youth who was entering the
works The policemen who took him into
custody suspected the young man of having
dynamite in his possession. The latter on
being made prisoner drew revolver and
killed the policeman and was himself
wounded by bullet fired by another po-
liceman.
The strikers quickly congregated on the
Peterhof road and Cossac!Is were ordered
to disperse them. The soldiers charged,
using their whips, and then fired a volley
causing several casualties among the strik-
ers. The excitement in the district is in>
tense.
