A GENUINE INSPECTION
Canal Committees Did Not Soldier in
 Their Work.

There will be another meeting of farmers in the Board of Trade room Saturday at D. m. at which time they will listen to the report of the com mfttees appointed last Saturday to in sDect the joint head and the entire length of the Approprators' Canal company.
 The committee does not care to an nounce in advance the details of this report but some further facts were learned yesterday concerning their trip of Wednesday, that prove conclusively that the committees made a thorough examination of the canals and what ever they report will De after personal observation. The trip was an interest ing one and at the same time a little tedious and somewhat perilous, espe- cially when the turists kept crossing and recrossing Salt river until they found a place where the bottom of it had been punched out and the horses dropped through to their necks in quicksand. The wagon kept them from going clear through and after the horses were fished out the wagon was pulled out with man-strength and ropes.
 The committees first visited the joint head. crossed the river there. then driving through Tempe followed up the south side of the river for three or four miles. Then they entered the river bed proper, and drove down it to the head of the intake of the Ap- propriators' Canal Go. The river dur ing the last flood season strengthened out all the little kinks in it's course for two or three miles above tn Appropriations intake and is now straight and broad, the stream at this time only covering a part of the bed, however, so one may drive along side of the water in the river bed.

deveIoDed practically the unalterable objection of Japan to any European capital as a seat for the conference. She objected particularly to The Hague believing it was too far within the sphere of Russian influence and for similar reasons she declined fav- orabIy to consider Geneva.
 SUSPICIOUS OF EUROPE.
 Until today however. Japans ire concilable opposition to the selection at any European capital was not known definitely. At the conference which Kogoro Takahira, the Japanese minister, had with the president to- day he conveyed to the president the Japanese governments final refusal to consent to the holding of the con ference in Europe.
 Minister Takahira reached the White House at 1O:45 a. m. and was ushered at once into President Roosevelt's pri- Vate office. They remained in confer once for an hour and twenty-five min utes. The unusual length of the in terview. held at a time when scores of people. many of them having pre- vious engagements with the president were awaiting an opportunity to see Mr. Roosevelt indicated clearly that 1t was of notable importance. The con ference was not prearranged, but the significance of advices which Minis ter Takahira bore from his govern ment induced the president to deny himself to all callers until the cOnclu- sion of the conference. As he left the | White House, the Japanese minister declined to discuss the situation in any way except to indicate that the nego- tiations were proceeding favorably. He added that negotiations of this char acter constituted "a long journey" The refusal of Japan to agree to the holding of the conference in Europe was communicated by Presiden ] Roosevelt to the Russian ambassador and likewise cabled to St. Petersburg While the president did not act in the capacity of arbiter between Russia ana Japan he was Tn 9 position after tho conference with Minister Takahira anC his communication to Ambassador Gas sini to formally announce the selection of Washington as the seat of the con Ference.
 Shortly before 8 o'clock. AmbassadO ! Cassini called at the White House b! appointment and was received by tn,

 ident explained to the ambassador tn nature of lis interview with Ministe | Takahira and conveyed to him hi personal assurance that the American

pography above the Tempe bridge on the north bank of the river hence it may be of interest to repeat what may have been printed before in that re- spect. The real headgate of the Ap- propriators' canal is a stone structure just above the NJ & P. railroad cross ing at Tempe, and constructed along side of it is the waste gate. But the
 water is not taken from the river at that point. This headgate is a con struction across the lower end of what
 is known as Indian slough through which the water runs for two or three miles from the head of the slough which originates in the river and which seems to be a natural water course having a -water-leveI head. In other words when there is any water at all in the river, some of it naturally
 finds it's way into this slough. At this
 time. however, a temporary dam has
 been thrown across the head of this
 slough and the Appropriations are busy
 cleaning it out and making q good deep
 ditch of it which is entirely practicable
 as there is a difference in elevation of some twenty-six feet between the head
 of the intake slough and the stone headgate near the railroad crossing.
 Some distance below the head of this intake slough the river divides into three channels. In the most northerly channel and perhaps a half mile be low the head of the intake slough, an other smaller slough finds its head and
 this slough joins the big one little lower down but still some distance above the stone headgate. TempOrar- lily, and during the making of a good
 head out of the upper and larger slough, the source of water supply for
 the Appropriators' canal is this small CT slough. There is therefore double
 supply head for the Appropriators J canal through a natural channel a long 1 distance above the stone headgate. The Appropriators' canal is a young river with a delta only the delta {, is at the head instead of at the mouth

THE QUEEN OF THE TURF
For the Second Time a Mare Won the
 Great Suburban.

New York. June 15.-Beldame was crowned the queen of inc American turf when she won the twenty Suburban handicap this afternoon at Sheepshead Bay. The grand four year old daughter of Octagun and Bella donna wearing the scarlet jacket of August Belmont. chairman of the Jockey club. lowered the colors of Jas. R. Keene's Delhi almost without being urged until near the end of the mile and one quarter journey.
 A great crowd witnessed the race. Probably two thirds of those in the grand stand were women. The weather was perfect. The running of the first half of a double event for two year oIds was preliminary tn the suburban. The double stake Is worth $20-0OO and brought out all the young racers that had shown quality thus far this season. The western colt, George C. Bennett, owned by Frederick Cook, won the event.
 Then the crowd prepared for the decision of Americas blue ribbon turf event There was little trouble at the post. The field had been reduced to eleven horses by the withdrawal Of GrazialIo. Delhi jumped into the lead at the start, with Beldame at his heels and Abdell close behind. They passed the first quarter post in fr"nt of the stand in that order. Delhi quickly opened up a gap of two lengths and held it throughout the first mile. The favorite's supporters were jubilant al his apparently easy path to victory. but their cheers of encouragement were turned to dismay when the Keene coIors began to lag and Burns drew his whip on the favorite.
 This was a sign to the excited crow'l that Delhi had begun to tire in his headlong race. As he swung around +he bend and into tn" wide stretch Beldame drew up and passed him. The Ben Crush colt relaxed his efforts once the mare came alongside, aud he fell back hopelessly beaten. First Mason moved up and with Proper at his side. As in all his races, the Jennings colt came through the last fCrlong with a great rush and secured second place. First Mason was only a length be- hind in the third place. The winner was received with wild applause when she trotted back to the judges stand and her victory was extremely popu- uar.
 Only once before has the suburban been won by a mare. That was in 1899, by the great Imp.

There Being No Longer a
 Russian Navy
NO HIGH ADMIRAL NOW
The Head of the Admiralty Depart ment Also Finds That He Is an EX- crescenCe and Sends in His RssiS- nation.

St. Petersburg, June 15.-The seusc- tional announcement was made shortly before midnight that the Grand Duke Alexis, the high admiral who is an uu- cle of the emperor and Admiral Avel- Ian, the head of the Russian admiralty department had resigned. This an nOuncement was followed a few min utes later by an imperial 'rescript- re- lieving the grand duke of the supreme direction of the navy. which he had held since the days of the emDeror-s father. Alexander III. when Russia re- solved to enter the lists as first class sea power and to build up a great navy, the remnants or which were de- stroyed in the battle Of the Sea of Japan.
 Although from time to time since the war beGan there have been rumors that the grand duke would retire on account of savage criticisms nor ta use harsher terms. directed against the administration Of the navy. especially in the construction Of the ships. the announcement of his resignation carae like a bolt out of the blue sky. It was not preceded by any of the rtlulors which usually give warning of sHch an act. Consequently it was assumed that some sudden event precipitated e.. and ugly stories immediately cane ta the surface.
 The words of the rescript sIVe na hint of imperial anger. and the r~al explanation probably will not leak eur for several days but the instant dis position was to regard the retirement of Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral Ayellan as a concession ta public opinion. following the creNniag tra- gedy of the Sea or Japan.

DriSCOII'S s Story of Dealings
 With Employers
PRICE PAID TO SHEA
He Was Unable to Deliver the Goods But Kept the NOney-The Relation of the History of the Transactions Which Scandalize Even Chicago.

Chicago, June 15.-The greatest scandal Chicago has ever seen accord ing to States Attorney Healy. is to follow the disclosures made today be- fore the grand jury by John c. Dris- coll when the former secretary of the Associated Building Trades and Coal Team Owners association revealed the entire history of the dealings between the employers and the union labor leaders, particularly that branch of union labor represented by the Chica- go teamsters union.
 States Attorney Healey said: More serious offenses have been committed than bribery and conspiracy, and the evidence presented to the jury has been of an extremely sensational char acter It is very important and will lead to startling results The names mentioned by the witnesses are those of prominent men on both sides. If I thought there would be no result from this investigation, I would call a halt immediately"
 John C. Driscoll was today the chief J witness before the grand jury and re- cited what he called the history of the dealings between the employers and union labor It was learned late tonight that one of the statements made by ] Driscoll to the jury was that Presi- dent Shea of the teamsters union ac- | cepted SS,G coo at the time of the stock yards strike last summer.
 ] This strike began on July r and | lasted for nine weeks. About 2600O men were thrown out of work and millions of dollars were lost by the packers in business and by the men in | wages. According to Driscoll's attOr- 1 ney he went to Shea to see if the 1 teamsters could not be prevented from going out on a sympathetic strike.
 Shea is said by Driscoll to have re- piled: Tt will cost SS,000 to keeI ! them at work" Driscon declared that
 he raised the money and gave it tc
 Shea and that the labor leader was
 not able to prevent the men iron walking out. DriscoI afterwards, ac- l cording to his story: demanded the re- turn of the money and Shea declared
 that he had paid it over to two other
 men connected with the teamsters' un- ion.

EXPRESSING JAPAN.
The Powers Likely to Hold the Indem- .
 nifty to the Lowest Figures.

Washington, June 15.-Pressure is being brought to bear on Japan to in duce the emperor to fix the sum he will demand as indemnity at as low figure in cash as possible under the circumstances. Diplomatic circles in innate that the European governments and President Roosevelt also will ad- wise Japan that moderation in the demand for a cash indemnity not only would facilitate peace negotiations but would be regarded by the powers with particular favor.
 Whether the selection of Washing ton will affect the tentative selection of NJ Nelidoff as one of the envoys is not known, though a report from Europe says that Emperor Nicholas is considering General Kuropatkin as a possible associate of NelidOrff.

Budapest, June 15-Three killed and sixty wounded are the casualties re sulting from a fight yesterday be- tween strolling players and villagers at Derskigyhaz, Hungary. The play CTS promised to give an exhibition of cannibalism and a big crowd collected but when the players did not give the advertised exhibition the villagers be- came threatening, whereupon one of the players became realistic and bit piece from one of the spectators ears.
 A general fight ensued but the po- lice ultimately restored order. Eigh- teen of the wounded persons are suf- fering from serious injuries.

Washington June 15.-America's national capital has been selected as the seat of negotiations between the plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan for q treaty of peace. The choice of Washington as the location of the peace conference marks another for ward step in the negotiations toward ultimate peace, instituted by President Roosevelt
 The official announcement of the se- lection of Washington was made by Secretary Loeb at the White House at 1:2S D. n. today. It was in typewriter form and read as follows: when the two governments were unable to agree on either Che Foo or Paris the presi- dent suggested The Hague, but both governments have now requested that Washington be chosen as the place of meeting. and the president has ac- cordingly formally notified both gov ernments that Washington will be so selected"
 This statement was supplemented shortly afterward by the semi-ofhcial announcement that after the meeting and organizing. the plenipOtentiaries of the two governments. if it should be found to be uncomfOrtably hot in Washington may adjourn the meeting to some summer resort in the north and there continue their sittings until such time as the weather in Washing ton shall be more comfortable"
 THE LOGICAL PLACE.
 Now that some of the details of the negotiations which have been pending for more than two weeks are known, the selection of Washington is regard ed as the only logical solution of the problem presented to the belligerent governments. After the acceptance by Russia and Japan of President Roose- velt's proposition that they consent to consider the question of peace, Russia indicated Paris as the most desirable place for the meeting to negotiate the treaty. and the Japanese indicated Che Foo. There the subject rested for for ty-eight hours.
 Finally Japan declined to consider Paris, for obvious reasons and Rus sia objected to the holding of the con- ference in any oriental city. Washing ton then was suggested as a place at which the beIligerents could meet on common ground. undisturbed by either political or personal influences. As a means of facilitating the negotiations the president suggested that the con- ference be held at The Hague, the seat of the international tribunal and the location of the first general arbitration conference called at the instance of Emperor Nicholas of Russia. He in dicated that for both practical and sentimental reasons The Hague would be the most desirable place of meeting for the plenipotentiaries.

INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT.
Russia Can Make Neither War Nor
 an Honorable Peace.

St. Petersburg, June 15.-Liberal newspapers taking the decision of the government, to make peace if terms possible of acceptance are offered, as a surrender, are following up their ad- vantage by redoubling their demands for a national assembly arguing that the bureaucracy which has proved its incompetency to make war successful ly is equally incapable of concluding a creditable peace.
 The Russian leader of the constitu- tional party declares that a govern ment without the peoples support is impotent to continue the war and will be compelled to accept any terms. Only a national assembly, it insists, can now save the situation.
