his job as cabinet officer when the
summer wanes, because or the summa-
ry directions given him by the presi-
dent to issue orders to his subordi-
mates that they must deal leniently
with John Chinaman."
1t is asserted that Metcalf did not
issue the order without showing the
president plainly that he did not wish
to do so, because he felt the situation
was one that should be dealt with in
another way. Metcalf comes from
California and is probably the best
equipped man in the cabinet to talk
on this subject. Secretary Taft took
the position that Metcalf being a
Californian was prejudiced against the
Chinese beyond the point where his
advice could be accepted as safe and
sane. The general opinion of WASH
ington is that the president has been
guilty of discourtesy to Metcalf. For
these reasons Metcalf intends to ten
der his resignation.

AFFRAY OCCURS AT SOLDIERS
HOME
RESULT OF OLD QUARREL
John Condor Meets Charles p. Albee
and, Placing Pistol at His
Breast, Pulls the
Trigger

Special to The Herald.
| SAWTELLE, June 27.-What will II
all probability prove to be one of tn,
most cold-blooded murders in the his
tory-of this section took place at the
west end of the dining room in thu
Soldiers home, when John Condor, 6
member of Company H, placed pisto
at the breast of Charles p. Albee ana
deliberately shot him.
The cause for the deed, as learned
from the principals, began more thar
year ago. At that time Condor
and Albee occupied the same ward ir
Company H. Condor, according to AL.
bees statement, was in the habit, when
under the influence of liquor, of looking
for trouble when members were ready
to retire for the night, and Albee COM
planned to the governor that the former
threatened his life on several occa5-
ions. With a view to preventing fur
ther trouble the governor ordered the
transfer of Condor from Company Fl
portions of the home.
1t appears from the stories of each
that they met in the home store about
week ago, where both were making
purchases, when one or the other
started the quarrel, and while conflict
ing stories are told by each as to which
was the originator of the melee, Albee,
the smaller man, who uses a cane, be-
labored the top of the other mans
head until the combatants were sep
arated.
Condor seems to have brooded over
this, obtained pass on Saturday to
be absent, returned today in his civil
ian clothes, and still probably with the
murderous thought in his heart. did the
deed.
At the time of the shooting $50 men
were in one small compass awaiting
the signal for dinner. In an instant
after the shooting the man was sur
rounded by witnesses of the deed, and
but for the prompt action of the home
policeman the man would have been
lynched. Condor was rushed to the
guardhouse awaiting the action of the
civil authorities.
The wounded man was hurried in
the ambulance to the hospital of the
Soldiers home, where the shot was
found to have punctured the dia-
phragm between the fifth and sixth
ribs and in the region of the liver.

Russian Experts Entertain No Hopes
of Victory
By Associated Press.
ST, PETERSBURG, June 27.-The
military experts take anything but a
hopeful view of Gen. Linevitch's situa-
tion. They do not believe he can be
surrounded, but apparently the ex-
perts do not consider the possibility of
a Russian victory.
Linevitch's retirement to Harbin and
the isolation of Vladivostok seem to
be regarded as foregone conclusions
when Field Marshal Oyama strikes.
According to the latest news from the
front, which is thirty-six hours old,
Oyama, after forcing back the Russian
right and center, transferred his weight
against the left, compelling the Rus
slams to give ground there also.
The military critics, however, agree
that the frontal movement is merely a
feint for the development of one or
both of the Russian wings, without
which nothing in the shape of a de-
cisive victory is possible.
The impression is that Oyama, prof
iting by past experiences, is more care
fully preparing his turning operations
but by the same token the Russian
staff declares Linevitch has taken am
pie precautions to keep in touch with
fianking movements and that it is not
possible to take him by surprise.
Occasional heavy dOWnpOurS of rain
continue at the front.
General Linevitch, in a dispatch to
the emperor, dated June &c. reports
outpost affairs on June "a, the Russians
being driven in both south of the rail-
way and in the valley of the Tsinho.
In the region of Hailungchen the
Japanese resumed the offensive Jure

Russian advance squadrons.
