CHINESE TURN COLD SHOULDER
Presence of American Fleet Makes
NO Impression Upon the
CeIestials.

PBKING, Oct. 3l--The presence of the
second squadron of the American battle-
ship fleet at Annoy. where the vessels ar
rived yesterday, and where the men are now
being entertained by the Chinese govern
ment is hardly known in PekinE. The
Chinese papers have said nothing at all
about the visit, and the occurrence Is being
completely ignored, both officially and
otherwise so far as Peking is concerned
This probably is because the festivities In
connection with the birthday Of the empress
dowager' are coincident with the entertain
ment of the visiting Americans.
The Japanese newspapers alone in Peking
have any information regarding the doings
at Annoy Up to o'clock this evening the
foreign board had no news Of the arrival
of the warships, and was still awaiting their
coming. Neither had the American lega-
tion received any news. The only member
Of the American legation at Annoy is Cap
tain James II. Reeves, the military attache
This silence is the more remarkable be-
cause the native press has during the last
few weeks, given much space to promul-
eating the idea of an alliance with the
United States.

CHANGES IN BATTLEsHIP PLANS
Decision Reached at Recent Naval
Conference Held at
Newport.

WASHINGTON, Nov. LIN view of the
order of the secretary of the navy revok-
ing the prohibition he recently placed
against officers who attended the New
port conference from discussing It's action.
an officer who was prominently identified
with the entire proceedings today stated
that II had substantiated with few
minor exceptions the charges of defects
pointed out in Commander Keyes' letter
on that subject. This officer has been
foremost in his denunciation of naval de-
fects.
The conference decided, he said, that
very few of these could be remedied in
the North Dakota and Delaware, which
are now 40 per cent completed, but sug-
gested that, II practicable, additional case
armor of about 100 tons be placed around
the smoke pipe and uptakes to protect
them against splinters. The additional
armor would increase the protection to
eight inches. They recommended that, If
practicable, an additional fire control
mast be placed forward of the smoke
stacks. so that In case the vision from
the rear mast is obscured by smoke a
clear view could De secured from the
other position
The conference also hesitated about
making extensive changes in the plans
in the Florida and Utah, as any altera-
tion that would involve a considerable
Shange of weights would require a re-
construction of the plans.
On the important subject of what ought
to he the type of the next battleships to
be designed, the kind of battery they
sh ould carry and their armor the confer
ence has not made decision.

NEW BILL OF LADING IN FORCE
Goes Into Effect On An Roads East
of the MississipDi and
North of the Ohio.

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-The new uniform bill
OF lading. approved by the Interstate Conn
meTce commission, went into effect on 4l6
railroads I'm the official classification terri
tory today.
Hereafter every shipment of freight in
the territory east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio must be made upon the
basis of the new form, unless a shipper
obJectinR to the terms agrees to pay 10
per cent more than the regular freight rate.
II was customary to charge 20 per cent
extra on shipments not under the old bill
of lading. The new form Is believed to be
universally acceptable. 1t has distinctive
color. yellow,N adopted at the suggestion
Of the American Bankers association, for
all ''order" bills of ladlng. which are
negotiable and enable a shipper to obtain
an advance payment through a banker.
The difficulty of fixing a definite basis for
the settlement of claims prior to shipment
is also minimized. The Pennsylvania rail-
road today announced that II had more
than 100000 copies of the new form
printed. 1t Is through bills Of lading chiefly
that record is kept OF the country's COM
mercial activity.

JOHN D. is NOT IMMUNE
Counsel In standard OH Case says
Nothing Has Been Promised
Magnate.

WASHINGTON, oct. 3i.--Frank b. kel-
logg. special counsel in the case OF the
government to dissolve the Standard OIL
company had a conference with President
Roosevelt today, Mr.. Kellogg said the case
was proceeding as rapidly as possible, that
all the testimony OF the government had
been taken and the defendants now are
presenting their side In New York. The
final hearing in the case, he said, will be
held in St Louis on February 3 before
the United States circuit court.
When asked whether the government
would institute criminal proceedings against
John D. Rockefeller and other officials OF
the Standard OIL company after decision
in the trial for the dissolution has been
reached Mr.. Kellogg said that as counsel
for the government he could say that
neither Mr. Rockefeller nor any OF the
other officials OF tho company had been
granted immunity.
Mr.. Kellogg, who is a member Of the
republican national committee from Min
nesotl, said he had come over from New
York 10 appear in a case before the su-

MONSTER RELIGIOUS PARADE
Celebration OF CentenniRry of Found
ing of Catholic Diocese OF
Boston.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.-Initerest In
the Balkan situation is centered In the pos
tive statements of several parliamentary
leaders that Russia has determined to drop
the idea of the proposed International con-
gress and will refuse to recognize the an
nexation by Austria Hungary OF Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
This information. although purporting to
be from official sources, is not entirely
exact. Russia has finally committed itself
to the principle that the question OF the an
nexation OF the provinces may be discussed
in a conference of the powers anu Austria
will permit the status of Bosnia to be In
cluded in the program. but only on condi-
ton that the delegates will refrain from
questioning it's action and content them
selves with registering the abrogation of
the article referring to this matter in the
Berlin treaty.
The Foreign office states that the negoti-
ations between Russia, Austria Hungary
and other powers on this question are still
in progress and considers that an accepta-
BILE formula for submission to the congress
may ultimately be found 1t is difficult,
however, to foresee how a satisfactory
agreement may be reached without one
side or the other withdrawing its conten-
ton.

But when the Western Laborer was try
ins to fsEdH an organized labor man who Is

The laboring men know what democratic
