RoJESTVENSKY is DEAD.
Man Who Commanded Russian Squad.
ron in Battle of the Sea of
Japan Passes Away.

Bad Nauheim, Germany.-Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky, who command
ed the Inflated Russian fleet
which was annihilated by the Japan
ese in the Sea of Japan in May, 1905,
died here Sunday night from heart
trouble.
Rojestvensky was about 60 years of
age and for many years bore the rep
utation of being one of the most cool
headed and scientific naval officers in
the Russian service He distinguished
himself in the Russo-Turkish war in
1877 by an attack on a Turkish iron
clad in gunboat. He was promoted
to commander in 1885 and was ap-
pointed naval attache to the Russian
embassy in England
In 1902 he was promoted to the
rank of rear admiral, and succeeded
Admiral Avellan as chief of the naval
headquarters staff and head of the in
telligence department of the Russian
navy. In this capacity he supervised
the equipment of the second Russian
Pacific squadron, which he after
wards took to the far east.
During the war between Russia and
Japan Rojestvensky was ordered to
proceed with the squadron from the
Baltic around to Vladivostok. This
proved to be one of the most remark
able voyages ever made and resulted
lin the annihilation of the Russian Bal
tic fleet
A naval court of inquiry on June Z,
1906, presented an indictment against
Rojestvensky for surrendering to the
enemy, but on July 10 the admiral
was acquitted on the ground that he
was not in his full senses Che was
found unconscious from his severe in
juries by the Japanese) and therefore
was not accountable for what hap
pened at the time of the surrender.

MUST HELP EACH OTHER.
Chairman Hitchcock Maps Out a New
Plan of Campaign in West
ern States.

Colorado Springs, Col. - When
Frank H. Hitchcock. the chairman
of the national Republican committee,
arrived here Sunday to consult with
members of the national committee
and chairmen of western state and
territorial committees. he was greet.
ed by a large number of political
leaders. He found assurances from
others which made it certain that the
two days conference which opens to-
day will be success.
Nothing of the kind now undertak-
en- by Mr.. Hitchcock was ever at
tempted in the history of national
campaigns in any party. He an
nounced on his arrival that it would
be his purpose to have states which
are certainly Republican assist in
campaigning in neighboring states
which may be doubtful. To that end
he is bringing the western leaders
together To-day there will be gen.
eral conference at which the various
leaders will exchange ideas and form
ulate a system whereby one state
may draw on the political resources
of another. After that Mr.. Hitchcock
will hold individual conferences with
the representatives of each of the
states and territories which are send
ing men to the political gathering.
According to Chairman Hitchcock
there has been a lack of conference
between western leaders in past cam
paigns, the representatives of each
state doing their best to pile up Re
publican majorities, but not helping
other states which have difficult bat
ties to fight.

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
OFFICIALS OF LABOR FEDORA
TloN ARE SUMMONED.
Messrs. Gompers, Morrison ano
Mitchell Are Alleged to Have
Ignored an Injunction.

Washington, d. c. In the Buck
stove and range case, Justice Ander-
son of the district supreme court on
Monday summoned Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, Secretary Morrison of that
organization and John Mitchell of the
executive council and former presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, to appear in court on Sep
tember 8 to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt
of the courts injunctive order.
The citation is based on petition
of the Buck Stove and Range Co. of
st. Louis, which alleges that an order
issued by Justice Gould forbidding an
alleged boycott by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has been violated
by the public utterances of the three
labor leaders named. 1t also is stat
ed that Gompers caused to be pub
lished in the Federationist, the Off
cial organ of the federation, a certain
article rejecting on the courts de-
cision and in alleged open defiance
printing the name of the Buck Stove
and Range Co. in the I'VE don't pat
ronize" list.
Gompers is quoted as saying to sew
eral newspaper men: $50 far as
am concerned, l wish to state this:
When it comes to a choice between
surrendering my rights as a free
American citizen or violating the in
junction of the court, ! do not hesi-
tate to say that l shall exercise my
rights as between the two"
Other utterances are quoted in
which it is alleged Gompers and Nor
rison, in furtherance of an alleged
plan to nullify the courts order, pub
lished references to the courts decis-
ion, including the name of the Buck
Co. These references, it is claimed,
were made for the purpose of keeping
alive the idea of the boycott as it ex-
listed before the order of the court,
and were so framed as to affect the
sale of the company's products.
John Mitchell, at meeting of the
Mine Workers last January, put to a
vote a resolution imposing fine of
$5 on any member of that organiza-
ton who purchased a stove or range
of that company's make. The resolu
ton also provided for the expulsion
of a member in default of payment OF
the fine.

Boy Died From Lockiaw.

Canton, o. The sting of cat
fish killed Edward Long, aged 10.
The case in considered unique
in medical history. On July 6 the
boy went fishing at Meyers lake. A
big catfish was hooked. While the
boy was removing the fish from the
hook the fish stung him on the right
leg. The wound seemed trivial. On
July 8 the boy complained of a stiff
ness in the leg and of pains in his
stomach. Physicians were called but
failed to relieve the boy, and he grew
steadily worse. Lockjaw set in, and
Monday he died in agony.
