ASKS JUSTICE OF
HOUSE OF PEERS
STRANGER REQUESTS ADVICE
OF LORD CHANCELLOR
Wishes to Refute Statement Of His
Friends That Money Is Neees-
ssry In the Courts Of
England
,ecial cable to The Herald.

Special cable to The Herald
LONDON, Feb. 25.-The house OF
lords this week was the scene of an
incident which was perfectly unique.
The lord chancellor and his colleagues
had taken their seats preparatory to
continuing the hearing of the appeal
in which the legality of the payment
of strike pay by the Yorkshire Miners
association is challenged, when gem
tleman, wearing a frock coat and car
rying a silk hat, appeared at the bar,
and addressing their lordships, stated
that he had an application to make to
the lord chancellor for advice. BEING
allowed to proceed, he said he was
practically a penniless man, and had,
therefore, no money to spend on the
expensive proceedings which would be
necessary to obtain him justice.
II am told by my friends" he con-
tinued, that in this free England of
ours it is impossible to obtain justice
without paying money. l say that is
nonsense. l look upon your lordship
not only as the representative of legal
Justice, but of divine justice"
Had Been In Asylum
The applicant for advice then went
on to say that during the last fifteen
years he had been confined six times
in lunatc asylums, the periods of his
Incarceration totaling about twelve or
thirteen months. On each occasion
that he had been discharged he had
been informed that he ought never to
have been confined, and that he was
more fitted to occupy position in
parliament" Only last Monday
which, "by a strange coincidence, was
the anniversary of the death of Charles
Bradlaugh and the birthday of my lit
tie girl" he had been discharged from
an asylum at Bedford. where he had
been confined for three weeks against
the express wish of his friends. Ii he
had been insane he was insane now,
and wishes to remain insane. He
wanted to bring his case before the
country, and he desired the lord chan
cellor's advice on how to do 1t. THE
cases of Beck and Dreyfus," he con-
tinued "are nothing to mine. have no
complaint against my friends, but
against the system of redtape which en-
ables a mans friends to call in doctor,
who, ninety-nine cases out of 1O0 is
less able than the patient himself to
fathom the state of that mans mind.
That doctor, from the very fact of
being called in, is satisfied that there
is something wrong with the man,
and in about three minutes he exam
ines state of mind, which state of
mind has taken that man forty or fifty
yours to arrive at"
Could Not Aid Applicant
The lord chancellor said he could
do nothing for the man, as that was
court of appeal, and they had no
power to begin an original writ in IA
vor of a person who had suffered. The
applicant should go to another court,
and If he had no money there were
means in the country whereby per-
son could sue and claim damages in
forma pauperis.
Applicant: Can I apply at the lord
chief Justices court?
The Lord Chancellor: I cannot give
you advice.
The applicant, who then bowed and
retired from the Dor, is stated to be
man of exceptional ability, and has re-

MAY RENEW CHICAGO STRIKE
Business Houses Take Stringent Ac-
ton Toward Strikers.

Chicago, July AIT a mass meet
ing of employers held this afternoon,
at which representatives of over 200
business houses were present, it was
decided that no more of the teamsters
who have been on strike wuold be re-
instated until all the unions have call.
ed off the strike.
The action taken by the employers
association may result in giving a new
lease of life to the teamsters' strike.
As soon as the stand taken by the
employers had been made known to the
unions q meeting Of the teamster' Joint
council was called for Tuesday night
to consider ways and means of renew
ing the fight should such a course be
decided upon.
The teamsters are in a belligerent
mood, and threats are freely made that
unless the employers recede from their
position there will be general strike
of all the union teamsters in Chicago.
This would mean the calling out of
35 900 men, whereas but 5000 were in
volved in the strike which was recent
~ declared at an end by the teamsters'
joint council.

TWO SMALL SKlRMISHES MADE
Russians Attack the Japs, but Are
RepuIsed in Disorder.

Fusan, July 27.-A fight reported on
Friday was the first worthy of mention
which has occurred east of the railway.
fwo Russian accommodating forces ap-
preached the Japanese line, one about
20 miles, the other 70 miles east of the
railway. The first contingent consisted
of two squadrons of cavalry, the second
Of two battalions of infantry. Both
retired after brief encounters. The
Japanese sustained no losses, but those
of the Russians are supposed to have
been nearly 100.
In the first enconter the Russian cav
airy, with its front sides thousand
meters long, advanced upon the jap
anese zine until it came under fire,
when it retired in confusion and the
infantry advanced. The Japanese fired
~ rounds with a captured Russian
battery, when the Russians retired, the
Japanese infantry following them for
10 miles.
The Russians and the Japanese lines
are seven miles apart. The Russians
maintain screen of cavalry outposts
some miles in front of their trenches
to guard against attacks. Reconnoit-
ering forces from both sides traverse
the neutral zone frequently feeling the
strength of the other at the front and
making a small weekly list of the kill
ed, wounded and captured.

wheat MARKET
TAKES SLUMP

Chicago, July 25.-A break Of $40
in the price of wheat for July delivery
occurred here Monday. At the same
time the September option sold off 83a
at $40. Denial of sensational reports
of black dust damage to spring sown
crop caused the heavy profit taking
that resulted in the sharp declines.
The market closed weak, with Septem-
Der down 8 at $50 as compared with
final quotations Saturday. July wheat
shows loss Of precisely 4c.
The primary cause of the sharp reac-
ton was optimistic advices concerning
the condition of the wheat crop through
out the Dakotas and Minnesota. In
addition the weather in the northwest
was favorable to progress of the grow.
ing crop and unfavorable for the spread
Of black dust. &D
Another reason for the slump in
prices here was the demoralized condi-
ton of the wheat market at Minnea-
polls, the September option there show
ing at one time loss of about 30.
Fresh reports of rust were received
but they lacked definlteness. Bears
were given additional encouragement
by continued liberal movement of new
wheat in the southwest. After the
first rush to sell was over the market
held comparatively steady, the price

The contract price of the undertaking

prescribed salutes and may escort the
party from the navy yard through the
town of Portsmouth to their quarters,

plenipotentiaries in Portsmouth and
formally welcome them to the state.
He will at the same time extend to
them an invitation to be the guests Of
the state on a tour Of the New Hamp-

Miss Monroe chose a horribly dra-

had grown tired. Slipping out of the
fine country home of her father, she
went to an orchard where she had
previously concealed a can of gaso-

the fluid. set it on fire, and with Spar

among the trees, but it was not until
the handsome daughter had been gone
for over an hour that they went to in
vestigate and found the charred body.

THECzARANDKAISER|
THEY Hold Two CONFERENCES ON
IMPERIAL YACHT.
In Gulf Of Finland-Has Caused a
Great Sensation In st. Petersburg
Unpleasant Results Expected From
France-They Have Furnished Their
War Money.

st. Petersburg, July 25.-The meet
ing between the car and kaiser
which took place on the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern in the gulf of Finland,
has causkd even more of sensation
here than did the news that Russia
had consented to consider President
Roosevelt's peace offers. Incidentally
there are grave feelings that this &C.
ton on the part Of the car will be
followed by unpleasant results in
France, which is not likely to approve
of the head of the Russian nation
comforting with her ancient enemy.
Inasmuch as French bankers have fur.
nished the sinews of war in the past,
this phase of the situation is con.
sidered, to say the least, very unfor.
tunate by leading Russian politicians:
There is an absolute dearth of off.
cial information regading the meet
ing between the two rulers. Other
than to admit that they reached the
appointed rendezvous on Sunday on
board their respective yachts, the car
on the Pole Star and the kaiser on the
Hohenzollern, and that the meeting
was arranged on the initiative of the
emperor of Germany, official circles
maintain an attitude of extreme re-
ticence on the subject.
The czar was accompanied by Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, and as
soon as the vessel reached the place
of meeting he was escorted on board
Of the imperial German yacht. The
kaiser entertained his guests at din
ner, and a secret conference was held,
which is reported to have lasted for
some time.
Another conference, it is reported,
was held on board the Pole Star on
Monday morning, after which the car
returned to st. Petersburg. What the
subject under consideration was is, of
course, unknown, nor is it likely that
it will be revealed. However, there
is no doubt but that it will have an
important bearing upon the result of
peace negotiations to be begun at
Portsmouth, in the United States, next
month. The kaiser has sounded other
European monarchs, and he is in a po-
sition to inform the car what they
desire, and it is likely that the latter
will be governed in a great measure
by what he thus learns.
Frances attitude is the thing that
promises the most trouble. While the
relations between France and Ger
many are by no means so badly strain
ed as they were some weeks ago, still
there is a certain amount of resent
ment left, growing out of the Moroc-
can affair, and there is chance that
sentiment in France will demand a
cutting loose from Russia and the dis
solution of the treaty obligations.
Should this follow, there is a growing
belief that Great Britain will negotiate
an offensive and defensive treaty with
France and thus fortify herself against
any prospective Russian-German
treaty or understanding. The situation
is very delicate at present, and Rus
sian diplomats don't care to discuss it
pending an official announcement of
the result of the conference in the
gulf of Finland.
