without bail to await the result of the
injuries of Edward Joyce, who is said
to be dying in hospital. Joyce's

who shot him or to make statement
as to the cause of the shooting. The
forty other members of the union now

were arraigned for hearing before
magistrate and all refused to answer
questions. Detectives are working on
the case.

condition is critical.

II both himself fanT Attorney Levy
Mayer, attorney for the employers,
were not included in the makeup Of
the conference. While still talking
Mr.. Shea was served with a legal pa
per demanding his presence in court
in the neighboring county in a Pan
handle railroad case.' he said. The
leader of the teamsters accepted serv-
ice and started at once for Wheaton.
Previous to the departure of Shea a
committee of the Department. Store
Drivers union had reopened negotia-
tions with department store employ
ers looking to another general confer
ence with representative Of the En-
ployers' association. Attorney Levy
Mayer had given his positive assur-
ance that he was ready to meet. a
committee of teamsters any time it
had a proposition to offer, SO that
when the strike shall have been end
ed no striker might say that the
drivers were refused conference.
Warlike reports continue to come
from the team owners, but w. P. Rend
is almost the only employer in the
association who is definitely known to
be disposed to break the period of
neutrality and "go it alone"
The matter requiring the presence
of President Shea at Wheaton had no
bearing upon the teamsters' strike.
He was said to have been asked to
identify document signed by E. V.

FRENCH OFFICIALS AROUSED.
GERMANY's NOTE REGARDING
MOROCCO REVIEWS GRAVITY
: OF THE SITUATION.

Paris, June 10.-Germany's note to
the powers proposing an international
conference on the subject of Morocco
is regarded in the highest quarters as
renewing the gravity of the situation
almost TO the point of making it men
acing. France has received copy of
the note showing that Germany acted
openly in appealing to the powers, not
withstanding the official statement
from Berlin that Morocco invites the
conference. The officials here inter-
pret the German note as showing that
Germany is the real upholder of the
conference The text of the note
shows that Germany relies mainly on
article II of the treaty of Madrid,
signed July 8, 1880, in which General
Lucius Fairchild signed for the United
States. Article II recites that MOroc-
co recognizes the most favored nation
treatment in the case of all the pow
ers represented at the conference
The German note holds that this gives
the powers equal rights to consider
the affairs of Morocco. The French
answer is as follows:
Article II refers to the preceding
articles, which deal solely with the
protection of the lives and property
of foreigners residing in Morocco.
Therefore article II gives the powers
equal treatment concerning the pro-
lection of lives and property, but does
not warrant the German claim that
the powers agreed to exercise equal
political control OF Morocco.
II is desired that Washington and
other capitals receiving the German
note observe the limited application of
article II.

CLOSE TO DANGER POINT"
Mississippi River at La Crosse Rising
Rapidly.

1
! Rapidly.
La Crosse, Wis, June 10.-The Mis-
sissippi river is rising more rapidly
than ever known before. 1t is now
only foot below the danger point and
a large section Of La Crosse, particu-
larly in the factory district, is flooded.
! The weather observer has sent out
warnings to look for the highest water
/ of the year and perishable property
is being removed to places of safety.
The cities along the Wisconsin river
are under more water than since the
high water began. At Grand Rapids,
Wis, the river has risen two feet a
day for three days and is 2.6 feet above
the danger line. All the factories at
Grand Rapids and vicinity have been
closed and conditions all portend a
very dangerous flood at that point.
The village OF Kilbourn, on the Wis
consin river, where a rise of twelve
feet has occurred, is in danger of being
entirely inundated.
Conditions upon the Chippewa and
Northern Wisconsin rivers have bet
tered considerable but along the, Mis-
sissippi, Wisconsin and Black fivers
they are becoming worse.

khI,iEs Are CALLED OFF
NO FIGHTING LIKELY PENDING
PRESENT TENTATIVE NEGO- ..%
TlATIoNs FOR PEACE.

st. Petersburg, June l0.-The gov.
ernment is plainly preparing the pub
lie for the announcement that. the
emperor has decided to conclude peace
ana that the negotiations have begun
by permitting the publication Of all
the foreign dispatches bearing on the
subject. The newspapers and the Rus
sian public, however, have until now
only had suspicion that important
moves were going on behind the
scenes.
in well informed circles it is be-
lieved that Japan already has instruct
ed Field Marshal Oyama to stay his
hand pen0ins the result Of the present
tentative negotiations and that Gen
eral Linevitch also has been confden-
TALLY advised of the situation Never
theiess, the irreconcilable remnants of
the war party are believed to be urg-
ing the Russian commander-in-chief to
assume the offensive in the hope Of
achieving victory and thus change
the emperor's present disposition in
favor of the conclusion OF hostilities.
II such an intrigue is in progress it
assumed that there will be no further
bloodshed in Manchuria until the bel
igerents have decided whether it is
now possible to agree on peace terms.
Wise Move Of Government.
The government in the present emer-
gency is acting with great wisdom.
1t is preparing to time the proclama-
tion OF national assembly with the
announcement that peace negotiations
have begun.
Evidence accumulateS that President
Roosevelts efforts in behalf Of peace
have been supported by practically
every European power by the trans
mission through their representa-
tives at the belligerents' respective
capitals that it is the solemn convic-
ton of their respective governments
that the time has arrived for the war
ring countries to conclude peace.
The presidents endeavors seem linn
tied to bringing the plenipotentiaries
OF Russia and Japan together to ar
range the preliminary terms for the
conclusion OF limited armistice and
the selection of a place for the future
negotiations and the plenipotentiaries
in the opinion of the diplomats, will
make the next move, as it is not be-
ieved Japan will .diyulges her terms
until the plenipotentiaries meet. The,
ambassador Of one Of the great Euro
pean powers expressed the opinion to
the Associated Press that the ex-
changes would not occur either at
Washington or at any European cap
ital but upon the battlefield in Man
churia.

st. Petersburg, June 10-Ambassa-
dor Meyer was in constant commune
cation with Washington during the
morning. He received a long cipher
dispatch and soon afterwards, hurried
to the foreign Office, where he had
half an hours earnest conversation
with Foreign Minister Lamsdorff con.
cerning the information transmitted to
him.
Extreme reticence continues to be
manifested, but it is apparent that the
great announcement for which the
world is waiting will not be made
from here or from Toxic, but from
Washington. It is not likely to be
delayed beyond Monday at the latest.
No hitch has occurred and the outlook
continues favorable to peace.
A council Of ministers presided over
by the emperor in person was held at
Tsarskoe- -Selo during the afternoon to
discuss the situation in regard to the
present developments.
His majesty's brother, Grand Duke
Michael, who has arrived here from
Berlin, is be4ielod to be the bearer OF
a PERSONAL message from Emperor
William advising the conclusion Of
peace.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 10. Sup
pressed for weeks the report of the

preceding the accident the fan had
not been running. For three days the

ing flames. The citizens had to fly for
their lives and had no time to save
clothing or valuables.

czAR THANKS RoJEsTvENskY
Peculiar Wording Of Message Attracts
Attention,


Attention.
st. Petersburg, June 10.-Emperor
Nicholas has cabled the following mes
sage to Admiral Rojestvensky:
.'From my heart thank you and
all the officers of the squadron who
have honorably done their duty and
for your unselfish work for Russia
and for me. BY the will of the AL
mighty success was not destined to
crown your endeavors. but your bound
less bravery will always be a source
Gf pride to the country.
Il wish you speedy recovery. May
God console you all"
The peculiar wording of the message
is attracting attention. The restric-
ton Of the emperor's thanks to those
honorably doing their duty is tanning
the ugly talk regarding the surrender
of ships and the conduct of some of
the crews. The messages of Admiral
Enquist and Captain Chagin of the
Russian cruiser Almaz did not contain
Rny intimation of misbehavior on the
part of the officers or crews.

Object TO Working in Bakeshop With
out Pay.

New York, June l0.-ConSlderable
merriment has been caused by a strike
of paupers in a county almshouse just
outside Jersey City. The men detailed
to act as bakers organized and elected
a walking delegate, who notified the
county board in charge of the institu-
tion that his fellows would not knead
the almshouse dough until their names
were put IN the payroll with the at
tendants sud other employees.
The delegate explained to the COM
mitteenlen that the bakers were en-
titled to pay because, unlike many
other >paupers, they do not desert the
institution during the summer months
to recuperate at the seashore and in
the mountains, but remain at their
duties in the bakeshop and work faith
fully for the county. The committee
rejected the demands and informed
the strikers that they would be put to
work in the stone quarries if they do
/ not return to work IN the hakeshop.
