,JAP.RUSS FARLEY
EARLY IN AUGUST
Beligerents Agree on Meeting
During the First Ten Days
of Month.
Now President Roosevelt Is
Urging Both to Meet
August J..

Washington, June 26.-The president
has expressed wish to the Japanese
and Russian governments that the
plenipotentiaries meet in the United
States on the first day Of August, and
if not on that date, then at the earliest
date thereafter. Both Russia and
the first ten days Of August.
The question of possible armistlce
remains in allegiance for the moment,
Japan, it is understood, declining even
to take the matter up until the issues
involved in the Washington meeting
are definitely settled. In the meantime
there have been heavy downpours in
Manchuria and the rainy season may
enforce a suspension of military oper-
ations before diplomacy can act.
M. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador
to Paris, and Baron Rosen, the new
Russian ambassador to Washington,
are Russia''s tentative selections of
plenipotentiaries.
Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese minister
here, it is understood, has been selected
by his government as one Of the pleni-
potentiaries, but the name Of the rank
ing Japanese envoy cannot be learned.
It is not believed that Marquis Ito
will be able to come and it is possible
that Field Marshal amagata may take
his place. This information comes from
high source, but it is understood that
no formal announcement can be made
until it is learned whether M. Nelidoff Is
health will permit him to make the
trip here.

RECORD YEAR IN
INFLUX OF ALIENS
Streams of Immigrants Are Pour
ing Thru New York's
Gates. -
New York Sun Special Service.

New oYrk, June 26.-Streams Of i'm
migrants continue to pour into New
York thru Ellis Island, breaking pre-
vious records. More than $4,000 immi-
grants have landed since June l and
official estatement up to the end Of this
month is 84,0S5, as against 51,731 in
June Of last year, an even larger pro-
portionate increase than in May, this
year, being .94,712, as against 7O,417 in
May, 1904. The high-water mark in i'm
migration is usually reached in May.
The census office approximates the
total immigration for this fiscal year at
1,061 $50, which indicates record
breaker, high-water mark being 857, GAG
for the year ending June 30, 1904.
There has been little change in the
general character Of immigrants in the
fiscal year about to close. Lithuanians
and Bohemians have been rushing here,
mainly to work in coalmines, Poles and
Russians come and scatter thruout the
country, many settling in sweatshops,
Italians crowd in to do manual labor,
Swedes and Greeks find their way to
the Northwest. There are fewer Ger
mans than of former years and ireland
seems to have been pretty thoroly
drained.

an attack Of uremia at his summer
home here early last evening, but early
today his condition had been relieved
by a local physician and two special
lists who had come from Boston by spe-
cial train, and it was expected the sec:

The attack, which was similar to 9th

ing recent years, was attributed to a
cold contracted on his journey from
Washington to Newbury last Saturday.

called to attend the sick man, said at
9:45 am. today:
Secretary HAYS trouble has been cen
relieved. He will need attention for

He stated also that DR.. Charles L.
Scudder, one of the Boston physicians,
had returned home this forenoon. The
other, DR.. Fred 7. Murphy, will remain
for day or two lest unexpected symp-
toms should develop.
Secretary Hay began to be in pain

Cain was called from Newport. He
found that in changing from the eli
mate Of Washington to the cooler tenn
perature Of the Lake Sunapee region,
the secretary had taken a severe cold
and that organs weakened by previous
attacks had been seriously affected.
Upon learning this Mrs. Hay desired
that specialists should be summoned at
once and as soon as possible Doctors
Murphy and Scudder were on the way
here from Boston, reaching the bedside
of the secretary at midnight.
During the later part of the night
Secretary Hay grew steadily better and
by morning had regained the strength

"that Secretary Hays present illness

which he went abroad for treatment
and for which he took the baths at Bac

The three big socialistic parties in

Many pople believe that Governor

Their house was blown from it's founda-

Several business houses sustained dam
ages from the wind.
The town of Artesian was also struck
by a tornado. Only meager reports have
been received, owing to the damage
done to telephone and telegraph lines.
1t is known, however, that two men
were killed in the storm, and several
houses wrecked.
The storm did not do much damage
in this city; the precipitation amounted
to 100 inches.
The names Of the dead at Plankinton
are: Mr.. and Mrs. Walter John and in

They lived about four miles south Of

TALK OF RECEIVER

Milwaukee Members Would Have
Courts Intervene if Rates Are
Not Withdrawn. -.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal, -( .. ~ g..
Milwaukee, June 26.-If the feeling
among the Milwaukee members Of the
Royal Arcanum does not change; an ap-
plication may be made for the appoint
ment Of receiver for the fraternal in
surance order. Yesterday there were
several conferences at which various
plans were discussed. It seemed to be
the general idea that the advisable
course, If Objectionable rates are not
withdrawn, would be to ask the courts
to intervene. One plan was to apply
for an injunction against the officers
at Boston to prevent the; carrying out
Of the proposal.
The ability Of the members to secure
the appointment Of receiver and have
the affairs wound up will depend entire
ly on whether the court can be made
to believe that there is state of in
solvency. While deficiency Of $27l,-
900 exists, according to the admission
of the officers, the fact remains that
they can raise $1l,000,OO0 or more.
An order enjoiniLg the officers from
collecting the new rates on Oct. / I'M
doubtedly could be obtained, but would
accomplish little good, for the main
question would still remain unsettled.

4 BIG THING IN
THE WIRE TRADE
Invention of Former Minneapoli-
tan Eagerly Sought by Mil
lionaire Interests.
For Years Some Such Process
Has Been Sought in
Vain.

Thru the inventive genius Of for
mer Minneapolis man backed by Min
neapolis capital, the wire industry is
IN fair way to be revolutionized. For
years the millionaire wire interests Of
the country have sought unsuccessfullY
of zinc: This is what has now, been
accomplished by George A. Goodson Of
Providence, R. l., but within a few
years Minneapolitan. The financial
end of the project has been handled
successfully by James A. Peterson, for
merly county attorney.
Gentlemen, you have struck it. We
must use your invention, and unless you
lied representative of a great wire
company has said to Messrs. Peter
son and: Goodson, but they and their
associates have not yet decided what to
do with the device. In fact, a great
galvanizing plant in Minneapolis is not
a remote possibility. The process ap-
plies to metal plates as we'll as to wire.
Stumbled On to It.
Like many other great inventions,
the Goodson process was the result Of
almost almost :; an accident i'd The inventor
years ago when he perfected the Good
son graphotype, an exceedingly. clever
and practical typesetting machine US
ing perforated strip which permitted
one, man to set type by electricity in
various cities. widely separated. A
feature Of this machine was tube
about twenty inches long conveying
the molten type metal from the melting
pot to the mold. In order to prevent
the metal in the tube from cooling,
Mr.. Goodson passed a heavy current
thru the metal and kept it in molten
state. This melting pot. with it's feed
pipe, both filed with metal fused by
electricity, presented in embryo the
idea which has now been fully devel-
oped.
! Heretofore wire has been galvanized
by passing slowly thru large tank of
molten zinc. This tank is ordinarily
twelve feet long, four feet wide and
two feet deep, containing some four:
| teen tons of molten metal. Heated
wires are passedsthru this bath very
slowly and the zinc adheres. To main.
| tain this huge body of zinc in fluid
condition requires a vast amount of
fuel; also there. is. great waste of
the zinc, which deteriorates and disin.
tegrates when long maintained in a
molten state. Nevertheless, in the
| early stage Of development Mr.. Good
son s device was employed purely fol
! galvanizing wire with zinc. It was
not until he had perfected the process
with this metal that a Chicago ex
pert g suggestion led him to make the
experiment with lead as the galEeniz
ing material.
