Prominent Russians Roughly
 Handled By Germans

St. Petersburg, Aug. -12, Via. Lon- don, $50 a. mt is announced from government sources that thirty six prominent Russians, who spent the summer at health resorts in the south of Germany including the Countess Vorontzow-DaschoW, wife of the viceroy of the Caucasus, her two daughters, M. Schebeker, a member Of the council of the emperor, and ether titled personages, suffered great hardships at the hands of German officials.
 According to this report some of these were temporarily imprisoned during their journey to the frontier, which, owing to frequent hindrances, occupied seven days. It is asserted that the aristocratic ladies were roughly handled by police and mem bers of the military.
 Application of the restoration of his commission in the Russian army has been made by Father Bulatovitch, former officer of the guards, who is now superior of a monastery on Mount Athos, in the peninsula of Sa- loniki.
 Father Bulatovitch purposes re- maining in religious orders and, in imitation of the crusading monks at the time of the Tartar invasion of the thirteen and fourteenth centuries, will head his troops in his uniform cov- cred with his cowl.

APPEAL TO AMERICAN PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Resolutions appealing to the American press to adopt fair and just attitude toward the cause of Germany in the Euro pean war were adopted at mass meeting of Americans here last night. The meeting was featured by an address by Representative Bartholdt of Missouri, who charged England with being not only respon- sible for the present conflict, but also for the hostile attitude of the .Ameri- can press towards Germany. He de- clared that to hold the German em- peror responsible for the war would be to falsify history. All of the speakers vigorously denounced the att titude of the American press.

DENIED IN NEW YORK.
That $1O,OOO,OOO in Gold Will Be
 Sent to Ottawa.

New York, Aug. 12.-It is denied in financial circles here that the en- tire amount of the $1O,0OO,OOO and more gold taken from the Kronprin- zessin Cecilie is to be sent to Ottawa. J. P. Morgan and Co.,, it is understood have recently consigned $1,O00,0O0 in gold to the Canadian capital, but other bankers interested in the kron- prinzessin Cecilie shipment, recently returned here, expressed the opinion that only small shipment of that sum will be sent across the border.
 There were further indications in New York today that any movement looking to large shipments of gold to Canada, whether for the Bank of England or for any other purpose, will be unpopular in banking circles New York bankers deem it of the higest importance that gold be held here regardless of foreign obligations. There are other ways, it was pointed out, of meeting our debts in London, and these, it was argued, should be reSOrted to.

SUDDEN DECREASE
 IN PRICE OF HOGS
Threats of General Boycott Against All Kinds of Pork Cause Drop
 in Stock Yards.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-It was admitted at the stock yards that consumers agitating against High prices had con siderable to do today with a fall of forty to fifty cents per hundred weight in the price of hogs as com pared with quotations twenty-four hours before. In some extreme cases the drop since Monday had been as much as a dollar.
 Threats of general boycott against all kinds of pork had the effect of lessening the demand from butchers. At the same time the receipts of hogs here were greatly enlarged. The ar rivals today alone amounted to 40, 0,000, as against 60,000 during the whole of last week, when the supply was the lowest in a quarter of a century.
 Likelihood of widespread absten- tion from beef and mutton as well as pork also was taken notice of at the yards. Todays prices for cattle, sheep and lambs were down ten to fifteen cents.

ORDER NOT INTENDED
 AGAINST AMERICANS
Great Britain Explains Measures Tak- en to Prohibit Landing of For
 eigners in British Isles.

London, Aug. 12, 2:15 P .M.- It was officially declared here today the only steps taken by the British government to prevent the landing of foreigners in the British Isles were those provided for by the sections of the aliens restriction act, the object of which was to safeguard the coun- try against aliens from countries with which Great Britain was at war.
 This declaration was made after the report had been received here that Secretary of State Bryan had cabled to the American ambassador to investigate reports from American consular officers on the continent that the British government has issued strict orders forbidding the landing of foreigners on British shores until further notice during the present war crisis.
 An order in council signed by the king was published in the Gazette on August limiting the entry of aliens to certain ports so they could be sub- ject to examinations. This order was not intended to keep out Americans, it was stated and had no effect on the landing of Americans here. It was pointed out that in the few instances when cases of Americans had been referred to the authorities the re- quested permission to enter always had been granted.

GERMAN AMBASSADOR
 CONFERS WITH BRYAN
Kaiser's Representative Requests Code Message Be Permitted Be-
 tween Germany and America.

Code Message Be Permitted Be-
 tween Germany and America.
 Washington, Aug. 12.-Hanel Won Haimhausen, charge of the German embassy, conferred with Secretary Bryan today on wireless and cable communication between America and Europe. The charge had previously requested that the state department permit code messages to be ex- changed directly between the United States and Germany, which now are barred by the military censorship Tn England, through which country all cable messages must pass to reach Germany. The charge was also de- sirous that the German-oWned w1re- less stations at Sayville, l.. l., and Tuckerton, N. J., be permitted to work with Germany, free from censorship, thereby placing Germany on an equality with England and France, which are using their cables without restrictions for transatlantic cor respondence.
 disposition was shown at the state department to justify the ap- parent discrimination against the wireless by an article in The Hague convention which provides that such methods of communication may be barred where the stations were erect ed for purely military purposes on neutrality territory and transact no commercial business. The German contention is that the prohibition does not apply for the reason that the stations in question have done commercial business.
 Secretary Bryan promised Charge Haimhausen that he would take the subject up with President Wilson as soon as possible, and the charge re- turned to the summer embassy at Newport to await his answer.

WILL CHARTER SHIPS
 TO AID AMERICANS
Embassies and Legations Given Authority by Federal Government.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Authority was today given American embassies and legations throughout Europe to charter ships in which to bring home Americans.
 Secretary Garrison, as chairman of the relief committee, composed of the secretaries of state, war, navy ana treasury, sent out instructions to each embassy and legation to make inquiry as to available ships if Ameri- cans can be concentrated at open ports immediately to charter neutral ships. WI
 Bar Higher Rates.
 The diplomatic officers were told not to pay higher rates than those usually charged by the liners for a | similar service. All thought of send ing vessels over from the United States to bring back the Americans has been abandoned.
 It is felt that the moving of the refugees may be greatly expedited by the charter of neutral vessels wher- ever they are available.
 With troops mobilized, officials ex- pect that the ordinary traffic will be resumed soon and that Americans in Germany will have no difficulty in making their way to Rotterdam to embark.

 The American government it was said, had approached the line recently with an offer to charter the vessels. Whether the negotiations had been ments for bringing home the tourists | had been made by other agencies than the government was not known here.
 Each of the vessels has carrying of approximately 2,000 in- cluding steerage. To bring back the Americans all modations will be made first class. This will virtually halve the carrying capacity of each | ship.
