THE R|CE ESTATE Judge Lowe AUows
 Motion to Open. THE SUM OF s25,OO0
Will Now Be Collected from tlt Rice Estate If the Present Managers of Dug Co Gan
 Succeed in Doing t

The estate of the late F. B. Rice
 has been opened up to all kinds oe litigation, for Judge Lowe in the probate-court to-day granted the mo- tion to extend the time for fllinx claims against it. This motion was argued two weeks ago by Attorney Carmody. representing the Apothe- carries Hall Co. and Attorney Root. counsel for A. E. Rice and Mrs s. P.
 Williams. I. P. Kellogg testified. at that time that he had engaged an expert accountant to look over the books and ascertain how the concern stood and it was while doing this 1t was discovered that the late E. B. Rice owed the concern money aggre- gating $24,000 or $25,00O. The Apothecaries' Hall Co wishes to c0l- lect this $24,0O0 or $25,00O from the estate of MT Rice and of course this means law. Judge Lowe allowed six days in which claims, If there are any shall be filed. A claim for the above amount, either itemized or in bulk. will be put in. Then will come hearing and no matter which side loses the case will go to the superfor court, and perhaps to the supreme court. MT Rice's estate while never appraised is said to have amounted to between $300.000 and $400, ,000 in gilt edged securities.

REFUSED ID GO Ten States Decline
 Divers Offer. CAMP WITH REGULARS
Westem States Decline Because SoI- diers aTs Needed Near Hone-- Several of the States Have
 Planned Encampments.

Washington, May 25.-So far ten states have declined the invitation sent out by Assistant Secretary of War Oliver to send some of their na- tional guard organizations into camp with the regular troops this summer. Colorado has declined because tho guard is too much scattered about the state to admit of easy concentration. The approaching trials for murder of the labor leaders in Idaho have made it prudent for the authorities to re- tain the entire force of militia within the limits of the state. Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Ohio have already planned to have their entire national guard go into large state camps, and are unwilling to go to the expense of another camp In doing which the states authorities are meeting exact ly the suggestions of the war depart ment, which is going to bo taxed to the utmost to make the expected ap- propriation of $700,O0O meet all the expenses of the combined camps. Cal ifornia reports that the experience of the state troops in guarding San Francisco and other places dcvastat- ed by the earthquake and fire and the expense to which the state has been put makes 1t inexpedience to join in the camping. South Dakota reports that the national guard is not equipped for season in camp.
 Ten states have so far failed to respond at all to the government invi- tation and two have acknowledged receipt of invitation, but have not in dicated whether or not they would accept.

FIDDLER BITTEN BY DOG.
Had His Arm Badly Lacerated by [
 Big Newfoundland.

A peddler whose name Is unknown was attacked and badly bitten by a big Newfoundland dog in house on Bank street this morning. The dog is owned by the Grimm family who live in the block at 239 Bank street
 It was about II o'clock when the peddler. who is rather along in years was hunting around the block for rags in exchange for money or ware which he had on his wagon. He had visited a couple of families in the building and then started for the upper floor where the Grifin family live. When he reached the top he was greeted by a big dog which quickly took liking 10 the peddler's arm. He nipped the vendor three times before the latter was able to get away. The ragpicker immediate ly hastened down the steps and noth. ing more was heard of him during the day. He did not report the case to the police, but Oficer Cronan. who was on duty in that section, later got news of the affair.
 The canine which did the biting is said to be very ugly. The writer went to ascend the stairs shortly after the incident. but the brute with another dog was at the head of the stairs. the Newfoundland dog looking big enough to chew a person. so he took the advise of the neighbors and turned back.

PAY INCREASED BUT
 MEN WANT MORE Textile Workers Say That the Present Sliding Scale System is Unst-
 isfactofy to Them.
  THE MEN ASK FOR A CONFERENCE Profit Sharing System Has Proved Unsatisfactory Sluggish Market Brought Wages Away Down.
THE MEN ASK FOR A CONFERENCE

Fall River, Mass. May 25.-The announcement that 10000 mill oper- atives in eastern Connecticut have been notified of a 10 per cent in- crease in wages has had the effect of bringing about another agitation for an increase of wages both in this city and in Rhode Island mill towns. The textile council of Fall River has sent a letter to the manufacturers calling attention to the fact that the present sliding scale system of wages is un- satisfactory and requesting that a conference be held between the man ufacturers and representatives of the operatives for the purpose of adopt ing, If possible, wage scale in place of the one which went into effect last October. The letter, it has been learn ed, makes no definite statement as to what phases of the question the tex tile council desires to discuss and neither does it offer any suggestion. According to prominent union off1- cials in this city the profit sharing margin which is feature of the wage system under which the opera tives are now employed has proved unsatisfactory. During the last few weeks, 1t Is said, as result of the continuous upward movement in cot ton prices and the somewhat slug gish condition in the cloth market the margin of wage dividends has dropped week by week until at the present time the wages have fallen considerably below the expectation of the employees.
 Among the manufacturers 1t is said that an increase in wages in Con- necticut should have no bearing on the situation in Fall River and Rhode Island mills, attention being called to the fact that the product of most of the Connecticut mills Is of a fine grade on which there is larger margin of profit.

ID SEE EMPEROR \Coremykin Wants His
 Approval ADOPTION OF | POLICY
Constitutional Democrats May Pass "a Vote of Lack of Confidence In the Ministry Opponents are
 faYoring Government.

St Petersburg, May 25.-Premier Goremykin went to Peternof this morning to secure the emperor's final approval of the general statement of the governments policy which the cabinet has prepared in answer to the address of the lower house of par lament in reply to the speech from the throne. As the statement will probably have to run the gauntlet of Nhe court camarilla the premier, 1t Is Relieved, Is not likely to be able to eturn here in time to deliver 1t this afternoon. The plan advocated by the crats is that if the premier's speech is found to be unsatisfactory vote of lack of confidence in the ministry will be passed, thus forcing upon the government the issue of supplanting the cabinet with one more in har- mony with the party and the lower house. If this course is followed, un- less the emperor is prepared to yield immediately, 1t Is sure to hasten a conflict.
 In spite of the moderate counsels of the leaders the constitutional dem- ocrats are being pressed on by the denunciations of the radical elements towards an open rupture. Revolution ary activity is increasing throughout the country and the papers repre- senting the radical groups, which were suddenly allowed to resume pub lication, are taking advantage of the license granted them to indulge in the bitterest attacks not only on the government but on parliament, and there is evidence that revolutionary emissaries are travelling through the country stirring up hatred against the nobles and landlords and encour- aging the peasants to strike for the oStensible purpose of forcing parlia- ment to hasten the distribution of lands. On the other hand, the agents of syeactiop are adopting the same tactics in favor of a dispersal of par lament and q return to autocracy. As result of this propaganda threat ening letters have been received hv many members of parliament and dispatches from the interior report 08tiy COnHlCtS DeLWecu tuc lOiloWclo of the two extreme parties. During a meeting of Black Hundreds on Archangel square. St Petersburg, last night. under the presidency of Barbara Nikolaievna, workmen be- gan a counter demonstration by sing ing the "Marseillaise. A collision followed and resulted in fifty revolver shots being fired by the Black Hun- dreds. One man was killed. three were seriously wounded and dozens sustained broken heads.
 Observing liberals trace the re- vival of the old bureaucratic expedi- ent. Divide ct Impera, to General Ire poff's inspiration.
 The Sloyo says that instead of be- ing released as announced. M. Kur- staleff. president of the executive committee of the workmen's council, who was arrested in St Petersburg December last. during the general strike, has been transported to Svea- borg fortress. Finland.

ROOT IS INVESTIGATING.
Will Try to Adjust American and
 English Claims.

Washington, May 25.-Secretary Root is having made a careful study of the respective claims of England against America and America against Englan.l, with view to a mutual ad- justment if that is possible. As he told the senate committee on foreign rela- tions last Wednesday he believes that without resortlng to the cumbersome machinery of joint high commission or even framing treaty which. would have to be urged through the senate. the matter might be arranged by di- rect negotiation and balance struck and paid in cash by the party found to have the best of the claims. Be cause the executive has no constitu- tional power to bind the legislative branch of our government. which alone can appropriate the money nee essary to meet and pay of an ad- verse balance. 1t is probable that the agreement between the negotiations must provide that the judgment reach- ed shall be subject to the approval of the congress here and of parlia- ment in England.
 The obstacle in the way of a com paratively easy agreement upon a program of negotiation of these claims is the famous Frederick Gearing case. This American fishing vessel was seized a number of years ago in a Canadian port for alleged violation Of the fishing laws and in spite. of q vigorous protest by this government was condemned and sold and no de- stitution was made to the owners.
 New England senators still feel what they declare to have been the injustice of this procedure. and are firm In their contention that no agree ment shall he made for the settle ment of claims of America agains. Grpat Britain that does not provide first of all for the adjustment of this claim. The British government. how ever. assert the matter is Res Ad- judicata: that the case was tried odt thoroughly in the Canadian courts and that no negotiations can success if they are to revert to what they term dead issues of that kind.
