ARTIST EARLE AGAIN
Makes Another Explanation on
 His Action in Sending His Wife 10 France.

New York, Sept. 9.-Ferdinand Pinney Earle, the artist who sent his wife away to France and who plans to marry another woman, has made another statement for publication in his efforts to explain his peculiar ac- tion to the world. The statement deals with his meeting with Miss Julia Kuttner, whom he has de- scribed as his affinity ..
 MT Earle says settlement work in New York brought them together. Later, by chance, they crossed the ocean on the same steamer. It was in these other chance meetings that their romance grew.
 The artist also showed a letter, written by his wife to a common friend, to prove her compliance with their change in relations. It shows her not only willing but anxious for separation.
 Rev Dr A. Eisenhart, in the Mon- roe, N. Y. Presbyterian church, preached on the text Whatsoever a man sowetn, that shall he also reap. While not referring to Earle, whose summer nome is at Monroe, his re- marks were taken as strong con- demnation c. the artist. In an in- terview with a reporter Dr Eisen- hart said that he had not prepared his sermon with Earle in view, but he referred to the violence against Earle as an indication of the happy condition of the public conscience

WAR RULES APPROVED.
The Hague Delegates Adopt New Law
 Regarding Opening of Possibilities.

The Hague, Sept. 9.-The peace con- ference has approved the following rules regarding the opening of hostili- ties:
 'The contracting powers agree that hostilities must not begin without pre- vious unequivocal notice having been given, either in the form of a declara- tion of war. setting forth its motives. or in the form of an ultlmatum with a conditional declaration of war.
 "A state for war must be notified without delay to the neutral powers. the effect for the latter beginning after they receive notice. which can be given even by wire. In any case the neutral powers cannot protest against the lack of this notice if it is established that they undoubtedly knew that state of war existed.
 Prisoners who escape to neutral ter ritory if recaptured by troops must, after having asked for refuge in a neu. tral state. be set free.
 "A neutral state can defend its neu- trality by force without this constitut- ing an act of hostility"

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 9.--A dis patch to the Post Intelligencer from Vancouver, B. C., says, Following a riot Saturday night in Vancouver, in which Chinatown and the Japanese quarters were raided and damage done approximating $15,- 900, a further demonstration oc- cured later in which Kicki Yiro Ishii, chief of the bureau of foreign commerce and head of the Japanese consular service and Consul Saburo Hisamildzu of Seattle were the cen tral figures and in which riot a num- Der of people were bruised ana injur- ed by broken bottles and flying brick bats in the hands of a frenzisd nob. Baron Ishii and Consul Hisanlidz ] finally made their escape from the mob and the affair was inme iiately cabled to Tokio. ..... : Coincident with. the riot was the ar rival of a steamship having on hoard at least five hundred Japanese. With a common impulse the mob surged to the water front and as soon IS the Japanese came down the gangplank they were met by the rioters. Seven or eight of the Japanese were uncece- moniously picked up and thrown into Luzzard inlet. ... Still further rioting occurred when crowd of about 4,000 laborers start ed on the warpath, but were finally quelled by the police after about twenty arrests had been made.
 Last night Chinatown was roped off and the quarters of the Orientals guarded by the police. Baron Ishii gave out an interview in which he stated that he had cabled to Am bassdor Kaneko apprising him of the stirring events here.
 Indemnity from the city to the amount of $25,000 will be claimed.
 Mayor Bethune declares the idem- nifty will not be paid and the affair will be taken up with the dominion government.
 Saturday nights rioting was the worst in the history of western Can- ada. International complications are looked for.

STOLYPIN'S PLANS
Reactionists Do Not Take Kindly to His Scheme For Local
 Self Government.

St Petersburg, Sept 9.-Premier Stolypin's project for local self gov ernment has been badly received by the reactionists at the Zemstvo con- gress in Moscow. The project proposes to replace the communes by small Zemstvos, in which persons of all ranks, peasants, priests and land- lords, shall cooperate on equal terms, each of these Zemsvos exercising po- lice functions. The liberals express ed satisfaction with the project as whole, but introduced several amendments.
 The conservatives vigorously op- posed the premiers project, tauating him with being faint-hearted and with surrendering to the enemy, and declared that there was no necessity for reforms, as the revolution was over.
 Prince Uveroff said:
 We landlords are not afraid of be- ing beaten by the peasa.is. We are too tough
 The differences between the pren- fer and the reactionists are growing in intensity. The Znamya, organ of the true Russian people, continues to attack the government for having, in spite of the official denials, assured Senator William P. Dillingham; of Vermont, chairman of the United States immigration commission, when he was in this city last July, that the Jews would soon be accorded eqaul- ity with the other Russian subjects.

Lusitania In Ocean Speed Test Almost
 OverhauIs Lucania at Queenstown.
 Queenstown, Ireland, Sept. 9.-The across the seas speed test of the Gu nard lines new turbine steamer Lusi- tania and the incidental race with the older Cunarder Lucania began in fog here, and nine hours after the start from Queenstown the Lusitania had made but 1S0 miles and was moving slowly. The Lucania, which had start of four hours from Liverpool, was so delayed at Queenstown that when she got away from here she had but fifteen minutes advantage over the giant turbine.
 Probably never before has so much interest been displayed in the maiden voyage of a new vessel This can be attributed partly to the intense rivalry between England and Germany in the transatlantic passenger traffic. partly to national pride in ownershiF-the Lusitania is believed to be the great est triumph of the shipbuilder's art and to no small extent to the sporting element given the event by the pros poets of race between the youngest Atlantic flier and the Lucania. at one time the holder of the record.

At the house the story was denied and it was said that the would-be burglar did not get in. although he tried.

FRENCH CABINET
Important Meeting Being Held to Discuss the Moroccan Sit
 uatiOn
PROBING MASSACRE

Paris, Sept. 9.-A special meeting of the cabinet was held to-day for the purpose of considering the Moroccan situation. The following conclusions were reached:
 First-The Moroccan government should be held responsible for the massacre of July 30 at Casablanca as we'll as for the damages suffered as a result of the pillage or the re- pression of disorders.
 Second-The indemnities should be fixed by an international commits sion.
 Incidentally this is Frances answer to the demands of the Ger man exporters at Casablanca that France compensate them for the losses they sustained during the bombardment.
 The conclusions arrived at are based on the precedent established after the bombardment of Alexandria by the British fleet in 1882.
 The cabinet requested foreign Minister Pichon to examine the gen. eral question of Morocco and to pre- pare a note on the subject to be ls- sued as soon as possible.
