WAR ON The RIVER
RESERVOIRS ANEW
New Movement Is Expected to
Come to a Focus in Congress
Next Winter.
Photo by A. Anderson.
BY w. w, Jermane.

Washington, July 24.-It is under
stood by the war department. that an
earnest effort will be made in congress
next winter to secure the abandonment
by the government Of it's reservoir sys-
TEN at the headwaters Of the Missis-
sippi river, and it is with a view to
having information on the subject to
FOR, that General Mackenzie, chief Of
engineers, has appointed special COM
mission, Majors Chittenden and Potter
and Captain Judson, to make a, thoro
investigation of the question in all it's
bearing and report it's findings to the
department.
Engineering officers express the opin-
ion that when the matter is brought to
a crisis next winter the twin cities will
be found supporting the reservoirs end
the northern part of the state opposlnlg
them. The controversy will divide the
delegation in congress.
The principal argument against the
reservoirs as brought out thus far in
letters to the war department.. IS that
they serve the purpose of the lumber.
men Of Minneapolis, who want to get
their logs to market, and in return for
this they overflow lands which other
wise would be valuable for settlement
Friends of the reservoirs in the de.
partment think it would be extremely
unwise for the government, to abandon
them, as they help keep the river IN Its
upper stretches open to commerce, thus
helping hold freight rates at a proper
level. The raising of the channel from
eighteen inches to two feet between
Lake PPepin and St. Paul, these Off
GERS say, means keeping st. Paul as q
river port in the low water season when
shipments are greatest.

Berlin, July 24.-The foreign office
here is advised that meeting between

coast near the island Of Bioerkoe.
Emperor Nicholas wrote to Emperor
William several days ago that if, dur

to meet him. The German emperor re-
pied that he would be glad to cruise to
any convenient point and the island of
Bjoerkoe was suggested.
1t was understood that the converse
ton was to be entirely personal and in
innate and therefore no minister from
either government was to be present,
altho the Russian minister of marine is
in Emperor Nicholas suite.
Sequence of Peace Moves.
The meeting is a sequence to the cor
respondence that has been going on be-
tween the two emperors concerning
peace in which Emperor William urged
Emperor Nicholas to take steps toward
peace. Emperor William was co-operat-
ing with President Roosevelt in seeking
to bring the belligerents to a discuss
ion of the terms Of peace and in the
present meeting, it is declared. Emperor
William will continue to advise peace,
should the Russian emperor ask for his
further views. and it would be very nat
ural that Emperor Nicholas should do
so as a development Of the correspond.
ence which has already taken place.

COAL MINERS PLAN
WIDESPREAD STRIKE
They Expect to Close Anthracite
and Bituminous Mines Be-
fore Winter.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Pittsburg, July 24.-According to
plans which are now being matured, a
general strike Of all the coal miners in
Pennsylvania, both in the anthracite
and the bituminous fields, will be de-
clared before the winter sets in: This
action has been decided upon during the
past week by officials Of the United
Mine Workers of America.
President Patrick Dolan of the Pitts
burg district has admitted that great
strike is being planned. The action is
being taken to forestall any action of
the operators in the anthracite region
to force a general lockout. A strike of
this character, according to President
Dolan, will bring out every union miner
in the state, together with miners in
strikes and will practically cut off the
coal supply of the country.
National Vice-president I. L. Lewis
of the Mine Workers has been in Pitts
| burg during the past week, having been
deputized to come here and act by Pres
ident John Mitchell. The decision to
bring out the bituminous miners was
reached after a consultation with the
| local leaders.
E The strike is really revival of the
/ old conflict of several years ago, when
the miners were compelled by the Read.
/ ing railroad to accede to the demands
i Of the operators President Dolan and
| Vice-president Uriah Bellingham of the
Pittsburg district, with whom Lewis
conducted the negotiations, assured the
latter that every miner in the btu
ninous district would respond to the
call. Heretofore it has been impossible
! for the anthracite and bituminous min
| ers to act in unison, and this has been
responsible for their constant failures

/ to do, it will mean the greatest con.
/ f1ict between organized capital and

All of the eastern railroads are erect

panied by the cruisers Oleg and Jem-
tchug. Admiral Train of the United
States navy encountered the Russian
cruisers while cruising off the shore
near Lingayen gulf and accompanied
them to Manila. All vessels are more
or less damaged. The cruisers have
to leave within "a hours or be interned
until the close of the war.
All these vessels were supposed to
have gone to the bottom in the battle
in Korean straits last Saturday and
Sunday. Eye witnesses stated that the
ships suddenly went down, but accord
ing to the stories told by their COM
manders the ships made their escape
by the aid of the fog, which screened
their movements from the enemy. The
Jemtchug was the worst crippled of
the three vessels, which, with the ex-
ception of the two vessels that reached
Vladivostok, are as far as known the
sole survivors of Rojestvensky's big
squadron.
The Aurora is a protected cruiser OF
$3.50 tons, and carried 632 men; the
Oleg, protected cruiser of 6,775 tons,
carrying crew of 872 men, and the
Jemtchug, a protected cruiser of 5000
tons, with crew of 40 men. The YES

that their escape is due. Instructions

Aurora saluted with 13 guns. The
Ohio answered. The Russians reported
