Board of Directors are not qualified in law to sit upon the board. That pro- prietary system of administration ex- ists which in it's ultimate results Is the mere execution of the arbitrary will of a single individual"
 After referring to the sentimental att tachment for the name Hyde, which he said had induced the old officer to stifle personal ambition and consent to the elevation of James H. Hyde to the Vice. Presidency, MT. Bowes declares futile the compromise involved in the amend ed charter adopted by the directors and he concluded:
 And we apeal to you and the Leg islature. We appeal to you to use the great power of your office to promote the movement for the amendment of the charter so as to secure immediate and complete naturalization of the so- ciety. Our appeal Is made in the name of the policyholders, officers. managers and agents of this company through out the entire world"
 It was learned late tonight upon re- liable authority that bill has been prepared and will be introduced in the Legislature next week embodying the views of the agents and policyholders and providing for complete and early naturalization of the Equitable. Under its provisions all of the f1fty-two di- rectors of the society would be elected by the policyholders. Its details could not be learned here tonight.

 Not Contemplated. CEar's Admiralty Orders Its Fleet to RisorousIy Respect the Ncutrsl-

RUSSIAN FOURTH DIVISION

St. Petersburg, April 21.-The latest word of Admiral Rojestvensky was the dispatch from the agent of the finance minister at Shanghai saying the squadron had passed through the straits of Formosa but the authority given by the agent for his statement t is considered doubtful. The admiralty professes a good deal of skepticism re- garding all the dispatches from the Far East reporting the location of Russian vessels pointing out that false news is likely to be set afioat dellb- erately.
 The officials here neither deny or af- firm the report that Rojestvensky is still at Kamranh Bay
 The Foreign Office displays no anx- iety cs a result of the protests made by Japan over the alleged violation of French neutrality. expressing confi- dence that when all the facts are known 1t will be found that the Rus sians did not violate the neutrality of France. Serious complications are not anticipated.
 The reiteration of the story that the Russian protected cruiser Askold fn- termed at Shanghai is taking on coal and preparing to slip out Is again de- nied.
 Nothing has been heard from the fourth division of the Russian squad ron commanded by Admiral Neboga- toff. Most of the naval men express the opinion that Rojestvensky will not await d juncture with Nebogatcff put will allow this weaker division to rail behind him,

SYMPATHETIC STRIKES.
Efforts to Aid Ward and COmpany's
 Strikers.

Chicago. April 21.-Business agents from forty-seven teamsters unions in Chicago have been instructed to de- mand that employers cease hauling goods to Montgomery Ward and Com pany. whose teamsters and garment workers are on strike. A refusal will in each case result. it is said, in the calling of a strike by joint council of the teamsters.
 This action was taken this after noon at meeting presided over by the International President Shea. The situation was gone over and immediate action was decided on. The business agents started out at once to present the ultimatum.
 Prior to the action of the business agents of the unions a defiant atti- tude was shown by the Chicago Elm ployers' Association. A placard pasted on every wagon owned by the new teaming corporation backed by the as sociation reads:
 This wagon belongs to the indc- pendent company. We deliver goods to Montgomery Ward and Company and employ non-union drivers"
 Below this placard is pasted a copy of an injunction issued by Judge Bren- tano prohibiting any interference with the business of Ward and company.

our Immense Immigration.

New York. April 21.-Four trans Atlantic steamers which arrived at this port today brought 9.675 stcerage passengers. the largest number ever nassed in quarantine in one day It was impossible to handle the great throng in one day and at least four thousand would-be citizens had to re- main over night aboard the ships on which they arrived. as 5000 is tnU limit of Ellis Islands clearing ca- pacity.
 Until last night 62.97l immigrants had been landed this month compared with 42447 to the same date in April last year.
 The figures indicate that in May al- ways the banner month of the year. the Ellis Island record is likely to bs outdone.

SOCIALIST PROGRAM.
Preparations Made for Big May Day
 Demonstratious.


 Demonstrations.
 St. Petersburg, April 22.-G250 a. m )-May Day Demonstrations on a grand scale throughout the Empire is the program of the Socialist wing of the reform party as announced at the Pan- Russian Congress of Journalists which closed yesterday after a pro- tracted and stormy session. The Con- gress illustrated the lack of unity in reform circles. the program as fin- ally adopted falling to touch many burning questions of the hour on ac- count of the impossibility of harmon izing the views of divergent elements. At the conclusion neither side was sat- isfied with the program The moder- ate faction which was in the major ity eliminated a1number of recommen- dations in deference to the wishes of the Social Democrats while the repre- sentatives of the Socialist press char acterized the platform generally and especially the plank regarding tactics as wishywashy and announced that the plan of organized meetings and pa rades in every city and industrial cen tre of Russia on May IA. to which they were unable to gain the concurrence of other clements, will be carried out regardless of the Congress.
 They disclaimed any intention of rioting. but declared that if the police attempted to break up the demonstra- tions the government would be an swerable.
 The chief accomplishment of the Con- gress was its determination to organize an association which will participate in the general work of the reform league of all the professional classes, In which the lawyers took the first step at their recent congress here. Practically all the liberal papers of Russia were rep resented in the Journalists Congress, among the delegates being Polish. Fin nsh, Armenian, Georgian. Esthonian, Lettish, Lithuanian and Little Russian journalists. Among the speakers were M. Milukoff who recently made alectur- ing tour of America and the poet Koro- lenko. The police did not interfere.
 The program adopted comprises vague resolutions in favor of the standardization of land, some form of liberation of the laboring classes from the industrial yoke and the rich of various nationaiities to self-govern- ment as far as consistent with the existence of the empire, A long dis cussion of tactics resulted in a dec | laration that the present situation left no room for legal methods of i agitation and the delegates pledged l Themselves 70 the eat test possible ag- I itation in favor of allegislative assem- bly by both legal and extra-legal pub lications. In view of alleged attempts of the authorities to incite the pro- letariat against the educated classes the congress demanded the right of the people to arm themselves and form To- cal militia for self defense.
 Among the blanks excised from the platform was a declaration for an eight hour working day which was carried by a majority so narrow that 1t was finally decided not to include l

seuator PIatt's Successor.

Hartford, Con. April 21.-A success sor of United States Senator Platt will probably be elected by the General As- sembly which Is now in biennial ses- sion. This will be in accordance with law and the election will be for the balance of the term which will expire in 1909. Two months ago the General Assembly chose Morgan G. Bulkley of Hartford to succeed Senator Hawley who retired on March 4. This elec- ton brought to a close one of the greatest political contests ever fought in the State of Connecticut and which reached back many years.
 It is expected that there will be several candidates for the vacant seat in the United States Senate from this state but out of respect to the memory of Senator P1att 1t is thought probable that the election will be delayed until just before propagation. which in the usual course of events would be late in May. With second Senatorial con test to be decided 1t Is thought likely that the session will be considerably heightened.

MUST GET OUT.
France is Determined to Enforce
 Neutrality.

Neutrality.
 Paris, April 21,-A telegram receiv- ed here from St. Petersburg and un- derstood to be official in origin. says:
 The Russian admiralty has notified Admiral Rojestvensky of the grave danger to peace which will be entailed if the stay of his squadron off the coast of AnnRm Is prolonged contrary to the laws of neutrality No doubt is entertained that the admiral will carry out the formal instructions sent to him."
 As result of communication be- tween the governments at Paris and St. Petersburg, the Russian Govern ment has forwarded urgent orders to Admiral Rojcstvensky to vigorously re- spect the neutrality of French waters. This is precautionary measure. In ad- dition special instructions have been sent to the Governor General of Indo- China, M. Beau, and Foreign Minister Delcasse has instructed the French Minister at Tokio to give the Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs assuT ances that 1t is Frances purpose to preserve strict neutrality, these being similar to the assaurances given to Dr. Motono, the Japanese minister at Paris.
 According to the official view, the foreign steps should exercise dis tinctly calming influence upon Japan as they show France directly and through Russia has adopted all availa- ble means to insure respect of the neutrality of French waters.
 The officials say that the only ad- ditional measure open Is the use of French warshlps to employ force in expelling RoJestvenskys squadron. Such course, however, Is said to be impossible, owing to the smaller num- Der of French ships In Indo-Chinese waters. Moreover, an official re- marked. France is not in the habit of resorting to such extreme measures as using force. This is particularly trde in the case of Russia owing to the complications which might arise from France adopting forcible steps against Russia. Therefore the instructions all ready given from Paris and St Peters burg are relied upon to prevent Ad- miral Rojestvensky from encroaching upon French territorial waters. pr. MOtono. in the course of an in | terview, said his request was that France observe neutrality by adopting all the necessary measures for pre- venting Admiral Rojestvensky's squad ron from remaining any longer in French territorial waters at Kamr1nh Bay The Minister added that the Rus sian ships are quite inside French waters and not outside of them.

ReUIx wiII He Slow.

St Petersburg. April 22.-No reply is expected from Vice Admiral Rojest- vensky for several days relative to the instruction to him to respect the neu- trality of French waters. Admiral Wirenius stated last night that Ro- jestvensky's telegram announcing his arrival at Kamnranh bay took four days In transmission. Admiral Wire nius added that he had no idea of the present whereabouts of RoJestvensky, but that he believed he had left Kamn- ranh bay. In any case he said at this season territorial waters offer no great advantage because the weather is good and the sea calm.
