THE POSTOFFlCE OFFICIALS
Get AFTER PUBLISHERS

WASHINGTON-Third Assistant
Postmaster General Madden has is.
sued an order intended to put stop
to the practice of some publishers Of
periodicals of using their publications
as the vehicle or cover Tor the trans
mission at second class rates Of sam
pies of paper to the detriment of the
postal revenues from matters of the
fourth class. This is accomplished by
printing advertisements upon sheets
of the paper to which the advertise
ments relates and attaching them as
advertising pages to the periodicals.
After declaring the practice to be an
abuse of the second class mailing
privilege, the publishers will be given,
until September l next. and after
that time any one found disregarding
the order will be charged fourth class
rates for his periodical.

. WANT THE LAW AMENDED
Changes Desired In the National
Guard Bill

WASHINGTON--The national guard
OF the country will ask congress at
its next session to amend the Dick
bill recognizing and making the
guard part of the national defense.
The proposed legislation has been
carefully prepared. 1t originated with
the officers of the national guard and
had incorporated In 1t certain sug.
gestions from the war department,
thus giving It governmental approval.
It's principal feature is the doubling
of the annual federal appropriation of
$1,000,000 for armament and encamp-
ment purposes, which is said to be
imperatively necessary to properly
equip and instruct the men. Other
features of the bill embrace a provi.
sion for paying the actual expenses
of officers making inspection tours in
connection with the promotion of rifle
practice; regulations governing the
auditing of accounts incident to en-.
campments and giving the secretary
OF war discretion as to what shall
constitute proper incidentals for such
encampments for which the govern.
ment Is to pay"

A DISORDER WAVE
APPEARS TO BE ROLLING OVER
THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE.
GENERAL STRIKE OF WORKMEN
Barbados Erected In Suburb and
Attack Of Cossacks Repulsed.-
Censor Allows But Little lnforma-
ton to Come from Poland.

ST. PETERSBURG-The wave Of
disorder rolling over Russia has APP
peared at Odessa. where general
strike, accompanied by bloodshed and
disorder, has broken out. There were
several collisions between the mill
tary and the strikers Monday night
and Tuesday in two of which volleys
were fired by the troops. No report of
the extent of the casualties has been
received, the official statement deal
ing only with the initial encounter
Monday night, declaring that two per-
sons were killed therein.
There was another encounter Tues
day afternoon. and a number of at
tacks were made on individual police
men. A press dispatch received said
that 40 armed workmen barricaded
suburb and repulsed the attack Of u
company of Cossacks. Reinforcements
Of three companies of Cossacks were
sent to the suburb but the result Of
their attack on the strikers Is not yet
known.
There Is little news from Poland,
but copies of the LODI Gazette, giving
an account of the demonstrations, are
eagerly read. A telegram to the Of
fetal agency gives the number of
killed and those who died of their
wounds on Friday as 164. 1t adds that
others were killed Saturday and Sun
day and that the complete number Of
victims cannot be stated definitely.
Other accounts give a total estimate
Of 500 dead at LODI.
There is complete embargo on
news from LODI, but generally the sit
uation in Russian Poland shows i'm
provement Such advices as have ar
rived here from Warsaw indicate that
the strike is only partially successful
and that the authorities are keeping
the situation pretty well in hand. The
ringleaders and agitators are being ar
rested by the wholesale, over 1000
having been put behind the bars to
this time.
Following the example of the LODI
workmen, the workmen Of Warsaw
built barricades at five places and
blood was shed in defending them. A
young Jew threw stone at a passing
patrol on Krochmalna street, where.
upon the Cossacks drove a crowd of
people into courtyard and fred q
valley at them, killing or wounding
twenty persons, including five women
and a boy.
The strikers of the Boamanshvede
factory on being fired upon by the son
of the proprietor retaliated by wreck

OUTLOOK NOT ENCOURAGING.
Little Hope Of Armistice Until Peace
Commission Is Perfected.

WASHINGTON-Mr. Takahira, the
japanese minister, returned to Wash.
ington Friday afternoon from a visit
of several days in New England and
called at the White House at night,
where he was received by the presi.
dent and remained for three-quarters
of an hour. The minister would have
nothing to say about his conference
or the situation at this time, beyond
remarking that "some matters must
be settled first"
The fact that the minister could
give no assurances regarding an ar
mistice prior to the converting of the
Washington conference tends to con-
firm the belief in official circles here
that little Roadway has yet been made
by the president in this direction. Up
to late hour Friday afternoon the
Russian reply to the presidents sug.
gestion regarding an armistice had
not been received and until this reply
Is received the result of this phase Of
the negotiations cannot be known.

The CELESTIAL KINGDOM
MAINTAINS HER INTERESTS

PEKING- The question of Chinese
exclusion from the United States con-
tinues chiefly to occupy the attention
of the Chinese. The extent and depth
of the feeling astonishes foreigners,
and is regarded as an evidence Of the
growth of a national sentiment of
public spirit which five years ago
would have been inconceiveable.
Among many instances cited as evil
dence Of this, it is said that Chinese
comprador has refused lucrative ap-
pointment with an American CON-
pany. Advertisements of American
goods continue to be refused by the
native newspapers, and letters and
kilograms from all parts Of China, as
we'll as from abroad, are being re-
ceived uring the central government
to take firm stand.

SELECT ENJOYS
RUSSIAN AND JAPAN NAME
PEACE Observation-Disclosures.
OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION COMING
Baron Rosen and NJ Nelidoff viii Rep
resent Care Governmental Baron
komura and Kogoro Takahira viii
Act for the Mlkado.

Observation-Disclosures has given
reinsurance in the peace negotiations
by placing the president in possession
of the tentative selection of her pleni-
potentiaries as follows: NJ. Nelidoff,
the Russian ambassador at Paris, and
Baron Rosen, the newly appointed
Russian ambassador at Washington.
Russia thus having taken the inita-
tive, 1t is believed that NJ. Takahira
the Japanese minister, during his call
at the white house, formally told the
president that Japan's selections, also
tentative, were Baron Komura. the
Japanese minister for foreign affairs
and Kogoro Takahira, the Japanese
minister at Washington.
Official announcement of the names
of the plenipotentiarles Is withheld for
several reasons. Mr.. Neldoff's health
may not permit him to make the trip
and pressure of official work may
necessitate the presence in Toxic of
NOuuld. WI. dhiulld anu
Baron Rosen are regarded as the GER
tainties and the belief Is that unless
something unforeseen should occur
both Russia and Japan will consent
to the official announcement Of the
personnel of the washington confer
ence within few days. In any event,
both missions will consist of many adj
visors, including army and possibly
naval officers, and officials from the
foreign Offices in Toxic and st. Peters
burg. 1t is expected that altogether
each mission may number ten or
twelve. Should three plenipotentiaries
be determined upon both Russia and
Japan have names under consideration
which will enable them to announce
their third representatives without
delay.
In recognition of his services dur
ing the preliminary negotiations and
in view of the high official rank Of the
Russian plenipotentiaries, 1t Is be-
lieved that the official announcement
of Mr.. Takahira's appointment will be
followed by his elevation to the rank
Of ambassador. In view of the fact
that Japan intends when the war is
over to elevate its legations at Wash
ington, London, Berlin, Paris, Wen
ma, st. Petersburg and Rome to en-
bassies, 1t is believed Mr.. Takahira's
elevation would be permanent. While
it is not certain that he will be given
embassadorial rank, nor Is 1t neces.
sary to his appointment as a plenipo-
Tertiary, officials of the American
government point out that this would
be the regular and expected course
for the Japanese government to fol.
low.

CANAL ZONE FUNDS
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON-The secretary OF
war has approved the recommendation
of Governor Magoon of the canal zone
that 100000 of the funds of the canal
zone derived from local revenue be
devoted to public school purposes. A
recent census of the canal zone shows
that there are 1886 children in the
villages along the line of the Panama
Railroad company within a radius of
mile and a half of the railroad. OF
this total it has been found that S93
can read and write, and 935 cannot
read and write. The T. t can read and
not write.
The plan contemplates the estab.
lishment of forty-two schools in the
canal zone.

CAN TAKE AWAY WOUNDED
War Department Grants Request OF
Russian Admiral.

WASHINGTON-1n response to a
request cabled the war department by
The governor general of the Philip
pines in behalf of the Russian Admir-
al Enquist, to be allowed to return
mis- sick and wounded officers and men
dpon giving their parole not to en-
gage in hostilities during the war,
and to be allowed to bring certain

the secretary has sent the following
cablegram:

role not to engage in hostilities during
the war. You may also allow them tc
bring from Shanghai material for re

of war, such as cordage, sail cloth
waste and oil for machinery, etc, but
the vessels are still to remain in in
ternment.

RED FLAG SHOWN
MUTINY ON THE RUSSIAN BAT.
TLEsHlP PoTEMKiNE.
OFFICERS THROWN OVERHEARD
Guns Trained on odessa In Support Of
Strlkers.-Battleships on the Way
and a Fight Is Soon Expected.

ODESSA--The red flag of revolu.
ton is hoisted at the masthead OF the
Kniaz Potemkine, Russia's most DOW.
erful battleship in the Black sea,
which now lies in the harbor In the
hands of mutineers.
The captain and most OF the officers
were murdered and thrown overheard
In the open sea and the ship is com.
pletly in control of the crew and few
officers who have thrown in their lot
with the mutineers.
The guns of the boat are trained on
the city and on the streets masses of
striking workmen, who yesterday fed
before the volleys of the troops, are
now inflamed by the spectacle OF open
revolt on board an imperial warship
and are making a bold front against
the military.
All day long firing has been heard
In many quarters Of the city. A num-
Der of barbados have been erected
and tumult and disorder reign.
The main squadron of the Black sea
feet, consisting of battleships George
Pobedionosetz George the Victorious)
Tri Sviatelia, Rostislav and Ekaterine
II, with two cruisers are expected to
arrive soon and a regular naval battle
is in prospect.
The rioters aresin a most defiant
mood and are not inclined to surrend.
err without fighting.
Reports of the mutiny, which &C.
Cured while the battleship was at sea,
are difficult to obtain, as the muffin
GERS refuse to allow communication
with the shore; but 1t Is ascertained
that it arose over the shooting of a
sailor who was presenting on behalf
Of the crew a complaint against the
bad food. According to one version
this sailor, whose name was Omit
chuk, objected to the quality of the
"borchtch" or soup and was imme-
diately shot down by a mess officer
The crew then rose and seized the
ship and the officers, eight of whom
were spared on condition that they
would join the mutineers. The others
we're killed and their bodies thrown
overheard.

The REPLY OF GERMANY
TO The FRENCH NOTE

PARIS-Germany's reply to the
French note on the subject of Moroc-
co was presented during a conference
between Prince >Radolin, the German
ambassador, and Premier Rouvier at
the foreign office. While most friendly
in form, Germany's response none the
less maintains the position that the
Moroccan question must be regulated
by conference of the powers without
any agreement in advance limiting
the scope of such conference. This
was accompanied by the presentation
of Germany's general point Of view in
such an amicable spirit as to disarm
the suspicion entertained concerning
Germanys Interior motives.

The APACHE WARRIORS
WANT BACK To ARIZONA

LAWTON, OKLA Geronimo. the
Apache warrior, recently circulated
a petition among the members of his
tribe, asking the government for their
transfer to Arizona Only six Indians
of age out of about 100 refused to
sign. The petition was presented to
the war department and is receiving
consideration. Owing to the fact that
the department has under consdera-
ton plan to increase Fort Sill to
regimental proportions and that the
Apaches' term of Imprisonment Of
twenty years expires in a few months,
it is probable that the Indians may be
removed.
