In discussing the possible moving of
the capitol from Madison. one prominent
Senator said that he did not think that
the sentiment throughout the State would
crystalline in favor of such a plan, but
that if 1t did, he for one did not believe
that Oshkosh would be good place for
the capitol. What sense would there
be in putting a magnificent building ON
the sand plains around Oshkosh?" he
said. IF it must go anywhere why not
take it to WauSau. where there is some
good high land upon which it can be
built" Others have suggested that
Grand Rapids or Marshfeld would fur
nish better railroad facilities than Wau-
sau. 1t seems TO be quite generally UNI
lerstood that Milwaukee would be in a
receptive mood. If the people of WiScon-
sin want the capitol in Milwaukee. Mil
waukee would be glad to accommodate
them But if not. Milwaukee wouldn't
turn a hand TO try TO secure il. The
fact that if moved from Madison, the
. capitol would be away from the univer-
Sity is being used as an argument in
favor of moving. One man said that the
law as it stands now would not prevent
the removal of the capitol. 1T says that
The university shall be located near the
capitol" he said. But il does not say
tthat the capitol must be located near
, The university" Inasmuch as it is very
likely that the question of amending the
constitution to allow the ISIS lance of
bonds will be voted on by the leople. it
has been suggested that the lo alton of
the capitol might just us well be voted
on at the same time.

ACTIVE POSSIBILITIES
TROUBLE PROMISED IN CHICAGO
 STRIKE TODAY.
Will Probably he Rioting In Windy City's Lumber District, Though Police Say They Can Handle
 the Situation.

Chicago. May 30.---There was nothing done on either side of the teamsters' strike today, bat active saostfiitie5,tws ere promised for tomorrow and the chief trouble is expected to come In the lum- Der districts. .
 In addition to the lumber teamsters who are now out there will in all probability be strike of all the men employed by thirty-five sash and door factories, as those concerned have an- nounced that tomorrow they will com mence making deliveries to boycotted houses. Application has been made by them to the officers of Employers Teamsters' Company for 225 drivers and they will be sent into the lumber di&trict tomorrow. The number of union men who are expected to strike by noon tomorrow is about 200 and 1t is expected that the extension of the strike will cause more rioting In that part of the city The police declare. however, that they are abundantly able to handle the situation.
 A break In the ranks of the Team Owners Association occurred today. The members of this organization have throughout the strike acted more in favor of the teamsters than they have AS allies of the Employers Association and have for the greater part refused to make deliveries to boycotted houses. The Weaver Coal Company, one of the largest concerns in the city. announced this afternoon that commencing tomor- row it will make deliveries of coal to all bowcotted houses. The firm employs fifty drivers and 1t is expected that they will all walk out in the morning. There were today several rumors of the peace negotiations. but none of them amounted to anything.

 Vladivostok. May 3O.-(4:30 D. m.)- jestvensky's pow erful fleet. the swift cruiser Almaz and the torpedo boat destroyer GroZny, lie at anchor here today in the harbor of Golden Horn, they having separated from the fleet in the early stage of the battle, which began in the Korean Straits Saturday. and headed, in obedience to orders, with full speed to Vladivostok.
 Up to o'clock this afternoon no other vessels of the Baltic fleet had yet arrived and the signal stations at Askold and Rimskykorsakof Islands reported none in sight.
 Officers on the Almaz and Brosny say that both fleets had already sustained terrible losses when vessels broke through the hostile line.
 Of the Japanese. two battleships had gone down before their eyes and two cruisers, their sterns high out of the water, seemed ready to plunge head foremost to the bottom of the sea.
 The Russian fleet, they say was even in a saddeF plight Rojestvensky's s flagship, the Kniaz Souvaroff and her sister ship, the Borodino and the cruisers Oslabia and Orel were utterly destroyed and when the fog settled down and hid the scene of battle from sight from the northward speeding ships, a third great Russian battleship the Alexander III seemed In sore dis tress, but limping northward putting up a valiant fight against swarms of torpedo boats and still continuing her attacks on the cruisers of the. island empire.

Trapedv Narrowly Ayerted.

New York. May 30.-News of a mar rowly averted tragedy at sea was brought here by the Austrian steamer Lucia, which arrived today from Med iterranean ports
 The Lucia reported that she was in collision yesterday with the big four masted Fall River, Mass, schooner Eagle Wing, about sixty miles south southeast of Sandy Hook light, but that neither of the vessels sustained fatal damage. That one or the other did not go to the bottom was due more to good fortune than anything else, ac- cording to the story told by the Lucia's officers, as the Eagle Wing was travel ing at a tremendous speed through dense fog when the crash came. The schooners jib boom was torn away. the Lucia's immense derrick on the forward deck was smashed Of and her rails and bridge were smashed as the Eagle Wings forerigging swept along the side.
 As the schooner disappeared in the fog she signaled that none of her crew had been Injured and that all of her damage was above the water line.

LOOMIS-BOWEN CASE
SECRETARY TAFT IS CONSIDERING
 THE TANGLE.
Correspondent Riddle Explains Regard ing Certain Note Which Has Played Interesting Part in
 the Controversy.

Washington. May 30-Secretary Taft today again considered the Loomis- Bowen matter and examined atysrn,a length Nicholas BIddie. a correspon- dent of The New York Herald who visited Caracas some time ago. It was Mir. Riddle who published in The Herald what purported to be a note from MT. Loomis to Mir. Russell. the secretary of the legation. notifying him that he would buy a portion of the Mercador claim.
 MT. Riddle explained in detail to Secretary Taft what this meant. The letter in itself waE among the papers submitted to Secretary Taft by Mir. Bowen in the presentation of his case. MT. Bowen said he found this among other papers in a box in the legation safe after MT. Loomis had left. MT. Riddle told Secretary Taft that Mir. Bowen had said that he wanted his side of the case presented but that he did not care to bc quoted. There- upon he had placed a number of pa pers, including this letter, in Mir. Bid- dle's hands. The explanation of the letter as contained In Mir. Loomiss statement to Secretary Taft Is in sub stance as follows:
  pedo boat to the government of Vene- zuela for 100000 bolivars. Instead of the cash, 1t was arranged that the Venezuelan Government turn over r. GOO, 900 bolivars in salt bonds at Nheir face value. After reimbursing itself to the extent of 100000 bolivars the Span ish government was to turn over the remainder of the salt bond to the American minister at Caracas. the pro- ceeds of which were to De applied to meeting certain claims against the Venezuelan government. This ar- engagement was approved at Washing ton. Among these claims was one amounting to about 600.000 bolivars due one, Mercador. a promoter and busi- ness man, on account of contract; another sixty thousand boliVars on &C., count of the German railroad and sev- eral other minor claims. Mercador sought a loan from A. !. Jaurett who was at that time semi officially at- tached to the American legation. Jaurett lacked five thousand of the necessary amount ana borrowed 1t from MT. Loomis, p1edging portion of the Mercador claim as security and this was subsequently, redeemed by tne sale of a portion of the said bonds to the banker MT. LoOmis was on va cation and not in Caracas at the time. which accounts for the writing of the note to Mir Russell. He received for his 5000 just $5.0sO."

Mir. Whites Comments.


 | Ithaca, N. Y., May 30.-Commenting | upon the effect of the naval victory.
 Andrew D. White, former ambassador | to Russia. said tonight:
 The Japanese victories have signi- | fcance from the fact that they must for a long time weaken the prestige and power of Russia In Asia, giving a | more free hand to Great Britain than | she has yet had in Asiatic affairs. Still another and even more inn portant consequence of these defeats is that Russia must be so occupied in restoring her army and navy and also meeting the demands of her people for reforms at home that she will have much less influence in Europe than for merly.
 "As to influence within the bounda- | ries of Russia, these defeats will un- doubtedly force her to make great con- sessions to her people. All Russian sub- jects who do any thinking at all will be utterly disguested at the failure of the autocratic and bureaucratic system, and while no complete overthrow of the Romanoffs Is to be expected, and while free institutions like those en- joyed in the countries of western Europe and the United States can hardly be granted to a people so unfit to exercise them. there will no doubt be great concessions out of which in time there will be developed a moderate de- gree of constitutional liberty. But we must not expect very rapid improvement of the Russian masses. The most important aid to such im- provement is tho creation of a vast sys- tenn of schools and, as for a considera- ble time to come enormous sums must be expended in restoring the arm and navy. little will be left for such gen. eral education of the people. 'As to the effect of these recent vlc- tories on the termination of the war;. they can hardly fail to impress both the governing classes and the people with the need of peace and doubtless similar effect will be exercised upon their creditors so that chances of an early peace would seem to be very greatly increased"
