mlral Kruger this afternoon boarded
and took possession of the Russiat bat.
tleship Kniaz Potemkine, King Charles
OF Roumania having sent instructions
to the commander to the Roumanian
squadron that the vessel be delivered
to the Russian authorities without
raising difficulties
The torpedo boat which accompanied
the kniaz Potemkine, however, left
Tor Odessa without surrendering, de-
clarlng that she had not mutinied, but
that the Kniaz Potemkipe had forced
her to follow
Admiral Kruger arrived with his
squadron yesterday morning, and after
= exchanging the customary salutes, in
timated that he had come to arrange
for the transfer of the Kniaz Potem-
kline
Admiral KoslinsAy, commander Of
%the Roumanian squadron, boarded the
Russian battleshlp and informed Ad-
mlral Kruger that King Charles had
ordered him to turn the vessel over to
the Russian admiral.
:, Despite the efforts of the Rouman-
ians to get things ship-shape, every
thing aboard the battleship was in q
state Of wild disorder.
The Officers cabins were stripped OF
every hing of any value, and blood
stains we're everywhere There was
sufficient ammunition aboard the kni-
az p p@cmI1ine TO have enabled the mu-
tinecrS 20 make a long and desperate
resistance.
1t is said that during the last few
days the snip WAS navigated by two
English engineers and an officer with
revolvers at their heads
All the sailors wished to surrender
with the exception Of Matuschenko
the leader of the mutlny who wanted
TO blow up the ship

the ship.
They were in pitiable condition
from i'll treatment.
They declare that Matuschenko
himself killed ten officers of the bat
tleship.
All the papers and books belonging
to the vessel were destroyed
It appears that the decision to sur
render the KDiaz Potemkine was made
when it became evident that no other
vessels would JOIN in the mutiny.
The crew of the battleship seemed
to be unaware of the the surrender of
the Georgi Pobiedonosetz, and expect
ed that she also was coming to Kus-
tenji to capitulate to Roumania

RUSSIANS ARE UNITED.
Ready to support Any Reply That May
BE Made by Witte.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 12. 2:55
a. m.-The news of the speedy compile
ton of NJ. Whites repaly came as a
surprise to the Russian republic, as A
delay at least until Monday was an
ticipated TO permit a consultation at
Peterhof.
Though NJ. witte had ample powers
to draft a reply at Portsmouth, the
Foreign OfHce shared the view that the
response would be withheld until Mo1-
day NJ Whites initiative and decision
have evoked the admiration of the Rus
slams, as they are used to delays in mat
ters of a similar nature.
Japar's demands, as predicted, have
served to array the Russian Govern
ment and people under th> same ban
ner for the first time since the begin
ming of the war, and 1t is evident that
NJ. Witte will find almost solid support
at his back whatever answer he may
make to Baron Komura's note.
The Government permitted and encour-
aged the publication of the full press dis
patches containing the japanese condi-
disunited Russian clans, Conservatives,
Liberals and Radicals
with scarcely an exception every voice
is raised in urging the Government 20
hold out against Japan's principal de-
mands The correspondent talked with
the leading men OF various classes. not
only public officials, but lawyers, doctors,
merchants and journalists, and all de-
clared that a continuation of war would
be better than the acceptance of such
terms. The same spirit is manifested in
almost every newspaper Of Russia the
Radical organ ranging alongside OF the
Novoe Vremya. while the Russ to-day
declares:
''In these Japanese conditions all hope
of peace has vanished.
Indignation also is growing over what
is regarded as a doubtful procedure on
their crede ntials and many are asking
what is the real reason underlying their
action.

It's only effect was TO drive swarms or
mosquitoes into the hotel and the
guests had either TO bar themselves in
their rooms or walk, stamp and beat
the mosquitoes off.
No one has felt the heat more than
has Mr.. Witte. He is a heavy man. OF
large stature and not accustomed to
extreme climatic conditions of summer.
He worked in his rooms throughout the
day and every moment was drenched
with perspiTatiOn- When the dnal ~e-
vision of the French and English texts
of the Russian reply TO the Japanese
terms had been concluded shortly after
o'clock he and Baron ROsen entered
their automobile and were off for
spin of nearly two hours along the
shore roads This was the only recrea-
tion for the Russians. The Japanese
envoys did not indulge themselves even
to the extent of a drive.
Throughout the evening rain fell, but
without the usual refreshing effect of
a summer shower.

OPPOSES TAKING
ANY HASTY ACTION

recently indicted in Chicago, 1t is i'm
possible longer TO show leniency. More
over, III the existing law proves to be
inadequate, SO that under established
rules OF evidence clear violations may
not be readily proved, defiance of the
law must inevitably lead to further
Legislation.
This legislation may be more drastic than 1
would prefer. If so, ii must be distinctly un-
derstood that il will be because of the stubborn
determination OF some of the great combina-
tlons in striving to prevent the en-
1orcement of the law as II stands,
by every Gevce. legal and illegal
Very many of these men seem to think that
the alternative is simply between submitting
to the mild kind of governmental control we
advocate and the absolute freedom to do what
ever they think best They are greatly in er-
ror. Either they viii have 20 submit to rea-
sonable supervision and regulation by the ma
tional authorities OF else they will ultimately
have to submit 10 governmental action of a far
more drastic type. Personally, I think our
people would be most unwIse II they let any
evaporation due to the acts of certain great
corpora tions drive them into drastic action,
and ! should oppose such action. But the
great corporations are themselves TO blame II
by their opposition to what is legal and just
they foster the popular feeung which tells for
such drastic action
