VLADIV0ST0K FLEET GOES
SOUTHWARK
SERIOUS MENACE TO JAPAN
Toxic Admiralty May BE Forced to
Order Fighting Ships Back
to Northern
Waters
Ry Associated Prasn.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 10, 12:4o
a. m.-There is reason to believe that
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's entrance
into the China sea has been followed
by orders for the cruisers Gromobi,
Rossia and Bogatyr. which have been
ready for some time at vladivostok, to
put to sea.
Whether 1t is the intention to send
them south Immediately, or to hold
them in the vicinity of Vladivostok, ID
not known. Their appearance outside
the roadstead of Vladivostok would
constitute potential threat against
Admiral Togo's rear which will COM
pei the retention in or dispatch of a
number of fighting ships to Japanese
waters. Thus Admiral Togo seems to
be virtually placed between two fires.
Peace Advocates Busy
The peace influence in the govern
ment urges that this favorable
strategic position presents the psyche
logical moment for offering officially
the olive branch to Japan. reasoning
that no matter how confident the jap
anese government may be of Togo's
victory it cannot overlook the possbil-
ity of defeat nor fail to appreciate the
complete disaster which would follow
the transfer of the mastery of the sea
to Russia.
With so much depending upon the
issue, they argue, both countries have
mutual interests in avoiding an actual
test, and 1t is not impossible, there
fore, that a new move in the direction
of peace may come just as the world
expects to hear the call to quarters
for the greatest naval battle of modern
times.
Still Hope for Victory
The Russian admiralty on Sunday
received a long dispatch from Singa-
pore, but no intimation as to it's con-
tents has been given the newspapers.
The papers Sunday morning printed
Singapore dispatches without COM
ment, the Sviet being the only excep-
tion. This paper views the news from
Rojestvensky as an auspicious pre-
lude to a decisive battle. (which may
show that over Rojestvensky still
shines the happy star which helped
him when lieutenant to save the
fragile Vesta in an unequal conflict
with Turkish battleship.'
The Sviet expresses the hope that
Rojestvensky is destined to turn the
tables, and that even in case of defeat
some of his vessels will be able to
break through and reach the Jap
anese sea.

Surprises the Cowboys
The people here, however, appreciate
the fact that the president Is here for
an outing and are remaining from the
pasture. The president surprised the
cowboys and cattlemen by his knowl-
edge of horses. Upon leaving his pri-
vate car yesterday he was driven to the
grandstand behind the team of Ed Car

he was assigned to Burke Barnett's
team and no time was lost in getting
to the camp. Burke Barnett, owner of

with Ed Carter, Gen. Young with Tom
Waggoner, the cattle baron, and DIR.

Dr. Lambert was exercising his horse
this morning he was thrown but not

LAWSON FEELS GOOD.
The Boston Man "TickIed" With iii,
Western Trip.

Western Trip.
Bostoni July 1S.-Thomas w. Law
son returned last night from his wes-
tern travels and said he was "tickled
to death" to get back home, though he
had a most satisfactory trip. He gave
out a statement reviewing his exper-
fences In the west and telling of the
enthusiasm of his audiences, all of
which, he says, shows him the people
are aroused beyond qietiing.
My work" he says, 'is now fourteen
months old and should long ago have
been on the wane II it were ever to PEE
ter out My trip convinced me that 1t
is not the personality of Lawson that
has aroused the people, but my work,
my subject-fnance. In the course of
each two hours talk had every eye
in the crowd focused, and / could see
as proceeded that my simple teaching
landed, until just before was thru
every man and woman, whether in
Kansas City at the start or in Mime
sofa at the finish understood how all
had been robbed and how / proposed
to stop it and punish and compel res
titution.
ut was the general impression in
the west as 1t has been in the east that
my object was to get people to sell
their stocks and bonds. Each of my
audiences when / was thru saw plainly
that selling stocks and bonds was sim
ply incidental to my work-that my
remedy, when it came, would right
things even though stocks and bonds
were not sold.
another thing that cleared UP abb
solutely in the west was the false inn
preston that was advising people
to make runs on the banks. Before l
got thru they saw that my advice to
take money out Of the banks was con-
tingent upon my remedy being so plain
to the people when gave it that they
would take their money out of the
banks with one hand and put it into
circulation in new way with the
other.
There can be no question that i
cleared up this false impression. for in
Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota,
and Chicago, the most enthusiastic
part of my audiences consisted of the
local bank men,, and scores of them
came up at the completion Of each adj
dress and congratulated me upon hav-
ing dissipated this false idea.
"Another thing my trip showed me
was that the municipal and federal
ownership fallacy will not be adopt
ed by the people at large, and still
another thing, that they won't accept
gifts from Carnegie, Rockefeller and
other millionaire robbers. I will give
you an illustration:
cat Albert Lea fiayed the people
for allowing themselves to be placed in
the position Of paupers by accepting
from Carnegie in the form of libraries
the money ,he had plundered from
them. MY. address on this point was
received with tremendous applause,
although Albert Lea has one of these
libraries, and at the reception in the
evening, hundreds of men and women
the leading people of the town, came
to me and told me had done just
right, and that they would Immediate
~ take steps to give back the library"

New York. July "Scotty" Of
Death valley dined In the court Of the
Park Avenue hotel last night. Clad In
an unconventional costume suggestive
of dime novels, Of which blue shirt
and a red and black tie that almost
made a noise were the features, he en-
tered the dining garden accompanied
by a friend and took a seat at one OF
the tables.
At an adjoining table ]. Campbell
Cory, "Billy" Leary and Superintend-
emit Of Elections George Morgan were
feasting. They sent a,note' to "Scotty"
inviting them to come over and join
them. "scotty" obliged and quaffed a
glass of champagne pretty much as a
German does glass of beer.
Then he fell to narrating his person
al experiences and discussing mining.
One of the things he told about was a
cyanide plant for the treatment Of
ore. He said the plant was fitted with
tanks Of zinc. Now, every mining man
who knows anything about the cyanide
process knows that zinc tanks can not
be used.
"Scotty's" slip led to other questions
concerning the technical features Of
the mining process. "Scotty" evinced
a desire to avoid entering into a dis
cussion of these things, but turned the
conversation toward other and safer
channels One Of the men with whom
he was talking is pretty well informed
about all branches Of mining and ex-
pressed the opinion later that Scot

it.

that he was going down to the Nation

to put through. a big financial deal be-

break the record over the Atlantic.

LOSE ALL IN DEpEw SCHEME.
Many Buffalo People Suffer as ResuI
nf To,Mn Rom

| of Town Boom.
| Buffalo, N. Y, July 18.-Another sid
of the frenzied finance scheme involved
| in the Depew Land Improvement Com
pany, by which the Equitable Assur-
ance Society was said to have los
100000, was discovered yesterday. II
appears that in 1897, when the Depew
Company was reorganized, a largt
number of Buffalo stockholders were
frozen out and lost all the money they
had invested in the boom town. 1t is
calculated that the total lost was
100000, and cases of hardship are re-
lated as a consequence.
One widow, client of former State
Assemblyman Charles w. Hinson. was
induced to put $500 into the stock OF
the company on the promise that II
would yield Is per cent. When the
'financiers" reorganized the company
this woman, along with many Other
Buffalo people, found all her invest-
ment gone. All they had left were
beautifully engraved stock certificates
bearing the picture Of Senator pepew
Mr. Hinsons client went to New YORK
to endeavor to interview the ex-senator
and see If she could not get some OF
the land in Depew for her $500, but
she never could get a glimpse OF Mr.
Depew, although she made strong ef-
forts to obtain an audience. Neither
did Mr.. Depew reply to any of the let
tiers of her lawyer.
At that time Depew's name had Just
been sent out at the head OF rros-
pectus Of the Depew Gold Mining COM
pany and in his letter Judge Alnson
asked: els the Depew Gold Mir, ng
Company as much Of a gold brick
as the Depew Investment Company
Buffalo stockholders who lost their
savings in the stock have no Idea OF
what became Of the money they pad
for the stock. Nor do they know what
was done with the $25o.oo0 reo:'ved
from the Equitable.

CROPS LOOK WELL
Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin Is
sued by the Government Today
Shows Wheat, Corn and Oats to be
in = Promising Condition.

1 -
washington. July 1S.-The weekly
bulletin of the weather bureau giving
summaries of crop conditions was is
sued today, and is as follows:
Favorable temperatures prevailed
during the week ending July II turnout
the country. Intense heat on the Pa
cific coast during the latter part of the
previous week was followed by decid-
edly lower temperature. Heavy rains
interfered with the work in the Ohio
valley and over a large part of the
South Atlantic and east gulf states,
but the very general absence of rain III
the west gulf districts, with only light
showers over much Of Missouri and up
per Mississippi valleys, afforded fav-
orable opportunity for the much need
ed cultivation. Rains would be OF
great benefit in the southern plateau
region.
Corn has made splendid progress
thruout nearly the whole of the corn
belt, and is decidedly improved in the
states of the Missouri valley, where its
previous progress has been retarded by
cool weather. While the general out
look for this crop is very promising, it
has sustained some injury on the low
land in Missouri and in portions of the
south Atlantic and east gulf states, and
is not in good state of cultivation in
portions Of the Ohio valley.
Further reports Of injury to harvest
ed winter wheat are received from
central Mississippi and Ohio valleys
the middle Atlantic states, Texas and
Oklahoma and Indian territories, but
no complaints of the character are re-
ceived from Kansas and Nebraska,
both the quality and yield in the last
named state being better than expect
ed. Harvesting, where not finished In
the more northerly districts, is well
advanced, and spring wheat has ex-
perienced a week Of favorable weather
and continues in a promising conditi on
While rust is still prevalent in the
Dakotas and to some extent in Mime
sofa, it is not increasing in the first
named states, and there Is very little
in Minnesota. Spring wheat is fillicg
nicely on the North Pacific coast. Rust
is increasing in Washington.
In the central Mississippi and Ohio
valleys and in portions of the middle
Atlantic states the oat harvest has
been interrupted and considerable
damage to both harvested and standing
oats resulted from wet weather. Har-
vest is largely finished, except in the
more northerly districts, where good
yields are promised.
