RED CROSS SESSION.
Delegates to Big Convention Receive
 Instructions.

AhSNIuStlOHss z Washington, April 1S.-Brigadier General George B. Davis, judge advo. | cate of the army and Captain Charles $. Sperry, superintendent of the ma val war college, who will represent the American army and navy at the
 Red Cross convention to be held at Geneva, Switzerland, June 10th next, are receiving their instructions prepar- atory to departing for Europe.
 The approaching convention is ex. pected to be one of the most important in the history of the organization. The original Red Cross convention framed in 1864 Is expected to receive a thor. ough overhauling and will be modern. ized in the light of the developments in three recent wars. the Spanish. American, the Boer- British and tho Russo-Japanese. Probably the lessons of the Boer war will have the great est effect upon the delegates. for it i, said that in the other great contests mentioned the rules of war were oh. served with almost chivalrous exact ness so far as the great mass of the armies were concerned. But in ,he Boer war some important points were made subjects of controversy and it is deemed essential by delegates that these be adjusted now in the time of peace when passion does not threat en to warp judgment.
 Most important of these is the sta tus of ambulance corps and of field hospitals. It was openly charged on both sides during the African struggle that the exemption from attack and seizure of ambulances had been abus- ed; that these vehicles had been used to carry large numbers of weapons; that they had been made to cover the movement and retreat of machine guns and pompons. and that hale and sound soldiers had employed them for their own conveyance.
 Regarding the field hospitals there appears 10 be a growing belief that tlfey shall not be protected more than any other part of the army. If they are to be exempt from interference then steps must he taken to ensure the protection of the personnel of the hospital corps. which it is said. suffers from both friend and foe.
 Incidentally the delegates to the conference will he asked to provide something in the nature of a uniform for persons working under the Rel Cross. Anyone can in few moments cut ont of bit of cloth the present insignia and min lt around an arm and it Is asserted hy the veterans of fhe wars that men have been one mo- ment protected bv the Red Cross and the next fighting in the ranks with the insignia concealed In a pocket.

ELKs DETERMINED.
Prominent Members Attend Hearing of the Negro Johnson's Case.

New York, April 1S-The adjourned case against Orden K. Johnson, ne gro, of West 134th street, who was arrested on Grand street last week charged with wearing an Elks' society badge, without being duly elected member of the society, was taken up again yesterday i'll the Tombs police court before Magistrate Whitman. Johnson was arraigned on a charge of violating section 674A of. the Penal Code which makes it q misdeamor for any one to wear the badge of a 80 ciety to which he does not belong.
 The prosecution was conducted 5y Assistant District Attorney Johnstone, whose work is generally confined to the Appeal Bureau, but as the case is likely to go to the higher courts, MT Johnstone was entrusted with the prosecution by Mir Jerome. He was assisted by two lawyers of the Elks' society, Sydney H. Mork and l.. T. Fetzer, while Frank Wheaton, negro lawyer, represented Johnson. who is a cleaner at the Ludlow street jail.
 Mir Johnstone for the prosecution, stated that the badge which the pris- oner was wearing at the time of his arrest. was similar in design to the Elks' badge but bore the letters T. E. P. Q. E." while the lettering on the real Elks badge was .'B.. F. Q. F.. the only difference being the addition of the letter "I." which, either acci- dentally or purposely. was almost concealed by one of the elks' antlers spreading over 1t.
 The courtroom was filled with pronl- ,inent members of the Elks' society and Assistant District Attorney Johnstone called A. c. Moreland. the old time minstrel and now chief historian to the society. and editor of the Elks' Antler: Edward Coppers and Tony Pastor, both members of the New York lodge, No 1. of the society for twenty-five years. to prove that only white men were admitted as members of the society.
 Lawyer Wheaton moved for n dis missal of the case on the grounds that the law of the state was unconstltIi- tional because of the violation of the fourteenth amendment.
 Magistrate Whitman however held Johnson in S100 bail for trial in Spec ial Sessions, saying that the matter could be threshed out there.
 Mir Moreland stated that 1t was a most important case and that 1t would be fought strenuously as 1t affected every secret society in America.
 Johnson said he belonged to Man. hattan lodge. No Al of the Elks, but if was stated in court that Lodge No 45 was situated at Richmond. Va.

1t is a cruel canard. There is absolutely
nothing to it,
Much speculation was caused at the dis
trict attorneys office late this afternoon
by the appearance there of a new witness
in the Thaw case whose identity none OF
the officials concerned would make
known. She was a woman past 40 years
of age She came to the criminal courts
building in company with P. L. Bergoff
the detective whom Stanford White EN-
ployed when he is said to have feared
injury from Thaw. The detective and the
woman went to the office of Assistant
District Attorney TuTnbuh. where they
were closeted for an hour. a stenographer
being in attendance, A great deal of at
tention seemed to be paid to the woman,
and her appearance so late in the day
was taken TO mean that she had some
thing of Importance to contribute TO the
district attorneys case.

MUST TAKE INITIATIVE.
Premier StoIypin Sends instructions
to Officials in Provinces

st. Petersburg, July 24.-Premier Stoly
pin has addressed a telegram to the gov
ernOr generals. governors and projects
throughout Russia and to the viceroy of
the Caucasus, as follows
In conformity with instructions re-
ceived from the emperor with the view
TO securing full cooperation between the
different local authorities, I hereby in
form you that the government expects
you to exercise vigilant and untiring SUI
perVision over your Subordinates. so that
order may be promptly and definitely re
stored. Disturbances must be suppressed
and revolutionary movements must be put
down by all legal means. The measures
you take must be carefully considered.
The struggle begun is against the enemies
of society, and not society itself. Conse-
quently wholesale repression cannot be
approved of Imprudent and Illegal acts
are likely to give rise to discomfort in
stead of conducting to calm, and cannot
be tolerated, The intentions of the en-
perOr are immutable. The government
firmly desires to assist in the amendment
of the legal procedure and the laws
hitherto enforced which no longer serve
their purpose The old regime will not
be regenerated, but order must be fully
maintained You must act on your own
initiative, as you are invested with re-
sponsiblity. Firm and vigorous steps
taken in these lines will doubtless be up
held by the best part of society,"

The competition for the new name for
the park closed last night at u o'clock.
Nearly 5000 names were suggested. A
committee will look the names over and
will give a decision Aug. l, when the new
name will be flashed on a big electric
sign at the entrance of the park.
Ia the morning the directors of the park
were called together with Manager j. Nc
Clelland and received pleasant surprise.
Miss Eline Oblad had noticed that in the
dancing pavilion there were flags repre-
senting every nation but the United
States, so with fitting speech she pre-
scented the park with a beautiful Ameri-
can flag. The flag is made of silk and
hangs from brass rods. The stars are
made from real spangles which throw out
many colors where the electric lights re-
fleet on them.

The hardest horse of the day was ridden
by Hirschel Player, but he disqualified

Retreat Impossible.

There seems practically no difference of
opinion now. They have gone too far TO
retreat. They stand irrevocably commit
ted and must march on. The only differ
ence of opinion is as to what the next
step will be and how far it will go.
Before leaving Viborg it was arranged
through underground revolutionary chan
nels to distribute the address to the coun-
try, hundreds of thousands of copies of
which have already been surreptitiously
printed. The members of parliament there
have already opened an alliance with the
purely revolutionary organizations. The
opinion is also unanimous that they must
have immediate recourse to the only
weapon at their disposal. namely, polit-
ical strike. for the purpose of paralyzing
the government. Word has been received
here that the Moscow workmen's council
will be ready Sunday or Monday, and a
tentative decision to call a strike will be
taken on Sunday. A telephone message
from Moscow says that a great popular
demonstration, organized by leaders of
the workmen as a preliminary to the
strike occurred on the streets there to-
day, but in pursuance of the plan care
was taken to keep within peaceful limits
and there was no interference on the part
of the police or troops.
