GREAT BRITAIN
 REFUSES ID QUIT
 SEIz|NG CARGOES In Reply to U. S. Note, De clares Orders in Council
 Must Stand. TAKES SAME STAND
 AS GERMANY HOLDS Defends Retaliat0ry Tactics on Plea of Altered Conditions in Warfare. and Suggests U. s. Remedy Lies in Courts or Arbitration.

Washington. July 26.-The formal reply of Great Britain to the Ameri- can note of March 30, which declared against the British blockade and the principle of retaliation, has been re- ceived at the state department.
 The reply creates as much of an Anglo American impasse as has been created between Germany and the United States on the same subjects
 Great Britain takes practically the same attitude as that maintained by Germany.
 These are stated to be the main propositions of the note:
 First, that new principles, differing from those announced by the United States, must be applied to tho char acter of warfare being waged by Germany against Great Britain.
 Second, that the orders frr -ceHnci1 must stand, not only as a matter of right, but as made necessary by the present new methods of warfare
 Third, that even international law, as laid down in American courts, permits a blockade of neutral ports when they are made base of opera tiors in behalf of an enemy of Great Britain. 1@e.
 1" Fourth. that the remedy of the United States is not a continuance of the discussion of international law and the municipal regulations of Great Britain, but lies in the courts for judicial settlement now or after tho war. sai
 Fifth, it is suggested to the United States that there are treaty regula- tions between it and Great Britain which provide means of settlement of disputed cases by arbitration, in- vestigation and inquiry.
 Sixth, that Great Britain has pro- ceeded as rapidly as she could with the disposition of all cases of seizures and detentions, and reasserts her right, under the stress of new condi- tons, to aoolish diplomatic discussion of such seizures and send the cargoes and vessels. directly into prize courts for Judicial interpretations" and eventual settlement.

Nearly 5000 Aboard East land When She Turned
 Over at Chicago.
DEATH LIST WILL
 TOTAL ABOUT 1,700
Investigation Shows Gross Careless ness, and Somebody Will Likely Go to PrisOn--President Wilson Or.
 ders Seperate Investigation.

Chicago, July 26.-It begins to look as il somebody might go to prison for the excursion steamship Eastland dis aster. Sensations came fast tonight.
 Startling evidence was made public by States Attorney Hoyne and Coro- ner Hoffman, that not far from 1000 persons were aboard the steamer when she turned over and sank in the Chicago river. This is nearly 1000 more than the ships papers, on file with the police department permitted the vessel to carry. Also it. means that there probably are still 900 bodies in the hull, or in the mud under the ship, bringing the death list up to 1,7OO.
 Mir. Hoyne has secured 2,500 tick cts which were taken up at the gang plank. Also he has letters which passed between the officials of the Indiana Transportation company, which leased the boat. and the Vest ern Electric company's employees pie nic committee, showing that all chill dren under years of age, the orches- tra. novelty vendors, and others should be admitted without tickets.
 The great number of baby shoes go-carts and bottles has been the most pathetic feature of the search for bodies. There were several hun dred babies and children under years of age aboard, and practically none of these were saved:
 States Attorney Hoyne clashed twice today with the federal govern ment. He won the first dispute, when Dickerson H. Hoover of Washington. acting inspector general of steam boats, and Charles w. Westcott of De- troit, district supervisor, gracefully appeared in his office in response to summons.
 He lost tonight when United States District Attorney Charles F. Clyne served a subpoena upon Chief of Po- lice c. c. Healy and took all of the papers seized in the cabin of Captain Pedersen of the Eastland.
 Clyne will turn all the evidence over to the federal grand jury sum- moned by United States District Judge K. M. Landis to meet Thursday.
 President Orders Investigation.
 Another sensational announcement tonight was that Secretary of Com merce Wm. c. Redfield was on his way here to conduct an investigation, at the suggestion of President Will son. This followed close on the heels of direct orders from the department of justice in Washington "to probe to the bottom and spare no one."
 Attorney-General Thomas Gregory at the capital is said to have tele- graphed the order to Kenton G. Cla- bough. of the local department of jus tiec. Later it was said Gregory "laid down the law" in a 23-minute long distance telephone conversation with District Attorney Clyne.
 Charges by the local authorities, particularly States Attorney Hoyne, that the Eastland was overloaded and improperly ballasted, and charges by Victor A. Orlander, secretary of the Lake Seamen's union, and John D. Yorke that they had called the at tention of the department of justice to the alleged unseaworthy condition of the ship, were believed to have stirrd Washington to action.

 SENT 10 BOTTOM
 BY GERMAN SUB. The Leelanaw Torpedoel Off Scotland, After Crew
 Taken Off. WASHINGTON SEES
 NO LAW VIOLATION MCaere Reports of Sinking Indicate to Officials That Germans Proceed- cd According to International

London, July 26.-Details of the sinking of the American steamship LeelanaW by a German submarine off the coast of Scotland yesterday afternoon have just reached here from Kirkwall
 The submarine ordered the vessel to stop and then sent officers on haard who inquired as to the char acter of the cargo. When told it Yas flax, the German commander immedi- ately called it contraband and order cd the entire crew of 30 men into the boats. After they put off from the ship, the torpedo was fired which sent the Leelanaw to the bottom.
 After he had sunk the American steamer, the German submarine com mander carried the crew with the string of lowed boats until near the Orkney islands, when he set them adrift4Wth orders. to make for shore; They did so and in their own boats reached Kirkwall from which place they notified the American consul at Dundee of the sinking of their ves- sel. ri'S
 The sinking of the Leelanaw, as watched by the crew from the shell ter of the submarine, was matter of detail. First, the underwater craft fired about 12 shells at the steamer These failed to send her down. and the Germans smashed her side open with a single torpedo. stll During their stay with the subma- rine, the Leelanaw's men say they were well treated, and when the Ger o1r{fk hn 1oc they saw of her was when she ripped away sin pursuit of a steamer. the. smoke of which was observed in the. western offing, j Washington, July 26.-The state department. was officially advised of the tCrpedoing of the American steam ship Leelanaw bys German subma-l rine off the coast of Scotland, in the following dispatch received this lafternOon:
 American steamer. Leelanaw of New York, from Archangel to Bel-l fast, with flax, torpedoed and sunk by German submarine on 25th. All the crew landed at Kirkwan this morning in their own boats. Have instructed consular agents to send them to Dunuee.

 The dispatch was dated yesterday. E. Haldeman Dennison is the Amer |ican consul at Dundee. A similar dispatch was received from Consul General Skinner at London. The state department expects complete report from Consult Dennison within a day or two. Rsss4S5ps 8 sk The torpedoing of the Leelanaw came as a shock to officials of the state department. While it does not aggravate the pending main issue be- tween this country and Germany, it |revives another issue which had been temporarily laid aside. s -=,= Germans in the Clear.
 The meagre information which has come to the department reporting the incident, indicates to officials that the German submarine probably pro- ceeded against American vessel ac- cording to the rules of international law, as this country understands it, up to 8 certain point. The fact that the men were all saved, they say.

Little Rock, July 26.-A new indus try is to be opened here as result
