 House Conference Held.

Washington, April 17.-It has been | announced at the revolutionary iunta here that formal demand will be | made that the United States recognize | the Mexican insurrectionists as a revo. lutionary government with a proyis. lonal capital at Agua Prieta. The 1 demand will be based on the capture of the customs house and the fact that by direction of President Taft both insurgents and Mexican feder- a!s were warned not to endanger American lives by firing across the 1 border
 President Taft has already prac- tically recognized us by sending us a message at the same time he sent one to Diaz," said one leader Gall that message an ultimatum if you will It 1 was recognition, nevertheless.
 Rebels Ready to Take Juarez.
 It was announced also that the rebels were rrepai ng to march on Juarez, and expec.ed to occupy that city within the next few days. The capture of Juarez, it was declared, would place the revolutionists in charge of one of the largest customs ports in Mexico.
 Repetition of the firing upon Amer 1 ican citizens at Douglas, AriZ., will be the signal for forcible action by United States troops. This was made certain by orders dispatched to the command CTS of the borderland troops.
 It is said President Taft feels a crisis is at hand in the Mexican situ- ation. The landing of British marines at San Quentin was interpreted by some as a warning to the United States that it must prove itself cap able of controlling the situation if it wishes to avoid European interven- tion Not since March ', following the rush orders for mobilization in Texas has Washington been so aroused over the situation.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 22.-Tht
Novce vremya, one OF the most
influential papers in this city, virtually
declares war against China, and de-
nounces Russia's laissez-f aire policy
toward the celestial empire. which has
produced an impossible state OF at
fairs on the Russo-Chinese, otherwise
the Manchurian frontier.
For instance, Russian fishermen,
whenever their boats approach the
opposite bank OF the Amur river, are
fred at and mercilessly shot by the
Chinese who also destroy the naviga-
ton marks fixed In the river by the
Russian authorities. Such marks and
also lights have been removed by the
Chinese from the river Usur1 for dis
lance of moro than ten miles. Russian
attempts to replace them for the
safety OF navigators have been OPP
posed by Chinese armed forces, and
four Russians have been shot on q
raft on the Amur.
The Chinese have learned to respect
the Hoongoose bandits, but treat Rus
slams with contempt Blood already
has been split, says the Novoe vremya,
and violence must be met by violence
Russia's recent ultimatum to Peline
has been nullified by all kinds OF
Chinese tricks against Russians as re-

CALLED POOR IN DESIGN,
CRUDE IN EXECUTION
New Issue of English Postage

eraI Disappointment.

Special Cableeram TO The Star.
LONDON, July .22.-Now that the new
issue of English postage stamps has be-
gun to circulate and is being more widely
discussed, there can be no doubt that its
poverty of design and execution Is caus-
ing general disappointment. Those who
are best qualified to Judge are practically
unanimous In condemning It as inartistic
and impractical.
Mr.. Mackennal, whose name has been
associated with the design, can hardly
be blamed. as he is not responsible
either for the portrait or for the wretch
ed engraving and printing. He has mere
ly drawn the borders, which are the best
part Of the stamp. The mere fact that an
eminent artist is approached to design
the borders and that the portrait within
these borders is engraved from a photo
graph. suffices to show the spirit in which
oficialdom has approached the whole
question.
But here the matter does not end. The
kings head. inartisticaliy cut off the
unsuitable for the printing process en-
ployed. The lines Of the shading. espe-
cially IN hair and beard, are much too
close, so that after few impressions
they get clOgged with Ink and make the
whole portrait appear smudged- At the
same time, the engraving is coarse, the
design crowded and lacking in one quail

ton in a postage stamp, clear legibility

GREETING TO THE SULTAN
SHOWS HIS POPULARITY

When He Returns From
an Extensive Tour.

+ CONSTANTINoPLE, July Coon
trary to the usual precautions
taken by tho sultan in presenting himself
to the populace, his return from an OK
tensive continental tour was attended by
only such police vigilance as was abso-
luteiy necessary to prevent accidents.
The spectacle was one Of the most ex-
traordinary ever seen here.
From the early morning the weather
was excellent, and an immense crowd
including many Turkish ladies, lined the
auays Of the Bosphorus from Galata to
the Dolma Bagtshe palace. On the Ash
attic side Of the Bosphorus the slopes of
Scutari. and, In particular, the old By
zantine ramparts on the Sea Of Mar
mora, were crowded with spectators. who
had occupied every possible coign of
vantage, giving the city a medieval i'm
preston. The BosphoruS and the Sea of
Marmora were filed with so many varte-
ties Of craft that river trafdc became
very difficult.
At noon the feet appeared on the hori-
ION OF the Sea Of Marmora, It CON-
prised the battleship Barbarossa, with
the sultan on board, and some forty
other vessels. on which were various
functiOnarieS, as an escort.
Undesirable Tumult.
As soon as the imperial flag was seen
the batteries fired q salute, and this,
with the cheers and the whistles Of the
(teamers, formed an irdescribable tu-
mutt. The battleship stopped in the
Bosphorus. facing the Dolma Bagtsche
palace. In order to land, the sultan
entered the big imperial ten-oared barge.
and the police merely prevented private
boats from getting in the way, but they
We're allowed to approach and almost
touch the sides Of the sultan's barge.
His majesty was wearing a new blue
uniform. with large gold epaulets. Be-
side him was seated the minister Of ma
rine. Malmud Mukhtar Pasha-
The cheers and the shrieking of sirens
made a deafening noise, the enthusiasm
was indescribable and many Turkish
ladies' wept. The evident goodness and
simplicity Of the sultan made him uni
versally popular, and In diplomatic cir
cles It is considered that this popularity,
which has greatly increased the prestige
OF the crown. Is becoming factor Of
extreme Importance.
