Washington, Aug. 27.—Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister here, called on Acting Secretary of State Adee dur- ing the day to talk over the settle- ment of the questions connected with the presence of the two Russian war- ships in the harbor of Shanghai. The minister expressed satisfaction at the outcome of the negotiations in the agreement to disarm the vessels and lay them up during the war, but he regarded it as essential that the com- Dleteness of the disarmament of the ships be established to the satisfac- tion of the Japanese government through a personal inspection of the craft by a Japanese naval officer des- ignated for that purpose. As this course was pursued in the case of the Czarevitch at Tsingtau, the German port on the Shantung peninsula, with- out much objection from Russian qua ters, it is expected that consent also will be given: to the examination of the Askold and Grozovoi at Shanghai. g inal objections against*#he course pur- sued by the Russian vessels in taking refuge in this fashion in the Chinese treaty ports and insist on its right to cut them out. The first is that Japan, more than any other country at this moment, desires to maintain in full force the agreement to preserve neu- trality and thereby avoid eutangling powers at present neutral in the strug- gle now going on. The second reason is that, expecting an ultimate victory over Russia, thes Japanese contem- plate the inclusion in the peace treaty of a provision for the surrender to Japan of all the Russian naval vessels dismantled and laid up in Chinese ports, as well as all that may be found in Port Arthur and Vladivostok. HAVE LITTLE INFORMATION. ment is not disposed to press its Advices to the Russian War Office Very Meager. St. Petersburg, Aug. 27.—The ad- vices of the war office from the front are very meager. In fact they are con- fined to a report dated Aug. 24, giving an account of the advance of the Jap- anese column of 30,000 men along the main road towards Liaoyang, which began at daybreak Aug. 24. The Jap- anese drove in the Russian outposts and when the column reached a point a couple of miles west of Liandiansian the Japanese attempted to install bat- teries, but they met with such a hot fire that they only succeeded in plac- ing one battery, which soon com- pelled to change its position. At the moment of sending the dispatch the Japanese had suspended operations. The ‘war oflice has no news of the re- ported attack on Anshanshan and the general staff is by no means satisfied that the eastern movement of the Jap- auese is more than a feint. General Ivanoff i{s in command of the 'late General Count Keller’s corps at Liandiansian. The war office was much elated dur- ing the morning at the receipt of a dispatch from Lieutenant General Stoessel, dated Port Arthur, Aug. 22, Teporting that the Japanese had at last been exhausted by their attacks and that the bombardment had been suspended. Full details regarding the dispatch are not available, but it prob- ably refers to the Chefoo dispatch of Thursday announcing the repulse of the Japanese with heavy losses in their attacks upon Fort No. 1 and Fort Etseshan. DRIVE BACK RUSSIANS. Japs Oust Port Arthur Defenders From All but Three Forts. Chefoo, Aug. 27.—Golden hill, White Maxble mountain and Liaoti mountain, according to Chinese advices dated the night of Aug. 22, are now the only main forts securely held by the Rus- sians at Port Arthur. Others are oc- cupied by them, but they are sub- Jected to an artillery fire which ren- ders their tenure uncertain. Fort No. 5, which has frequently been reported taken by the Japanese and retaken hy the Russiaps, is again declared to be in the hands of the Japanese, A rumor, having some points indi- cating authenticity, s that the new European section of Port Arthur is in flames. Owing to the mud and brick construction of the buildings, how- ever, it is probable that the fire is not general. It is said that the Japanese are using guns taken from the harbor defenses of Kebe, Nagasagi and Yokohama. These guns, numbering 300, are of heavy calibre, A junk, which left Port Arthur on Aug. 22, reports that the Russian wounded at that date numbered 5,000 and that the Japanese occupied the heights near Chaochanko. It is further reported that boys are fighting in the Russian ranks now, Diana Wil Not Be Disarmed. St. Petersburg, Aug. 27—No de- cision has been reached, so far as known here, by the French authorities regarding the duration of the stay of the Russian cruiser Diana at Saigon, French Indo-China, It is understood here that her injuries are not serious and if France demands her disarma- ment she will put to sea and possibly return to European waters. Incident Regarded as Closed. ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—The navy de- partment has received a cablegram from Rear Admiral Yates Sterling, commander-in-chief of the Asiatic fleet, dated Shanghai, saying that the situ- aticn there is quiet and that he re- gards the incident of the disarmament of the Russian ships as closed. HAS BENEFICIAL EFFECT. Assurances Regarding American Pol- icy in Panama. Washington, Aug. 27—t is learned that the American minister to Pan- ama, John, Barrett, acting under in- structions from the state department, bas assured the Panaman government that the United States will do nothing in its interpretation of the treaty re- garding the troublesome port question which is In any way inconsistent with the honor and' true interests of both countries and that it will not adopt any permanent policy as to the main Aissue involved in the port matter with- out fully conferring with the Panaman ‘quthorities. This announcement has SEEKS AN INJUNCTION John J. Kempf Objects to Removal Of His Name From La- Follette Ticket. Sensational Charges By Candidate For Re-Election as State Treasurer. E— Milwaukee, Aug. 27.—Further com- slications have. been added to the La Follette Republican state ticket by an action begun during the day in the cir- cuit court of Milwaukee county by State Treasurer Kempf to restrain the La Follette state central committee from removing his name from the list of nominations on the La Follette state ticket. = Man;yof the allegations in the com- plaint are sensational and much of the inside history of the Kempf case is given. It is practically charged that the resignation of Mr. Kempf from the La Follette ticket was obtained through representations designed to move Mr. Kempf to do that which he would not have done if left to his own notion. It is alleged that Mr. Kempf was told that the papers for his arrest on the charge of embezzlement had been prepared and that unless he gave the letter of resignation requested he wouid not even be given a chance to g0 to Milwaukee to obtain money to make good the $3,500 shortage, but would be arrested then and there in Madison. According to Mr. Kempf's story his resignation was obtained by Chairman Conner of the La Follette state central committee. Accompanying the complaint in the action is an order signed by Judge Lawrence T. Halsey, circuit judge for Milwaukee county, restraining W. D. Conner as chairman and Henry F. Cochems as $ecretary of the La Fol- lette state central committee from cer- tifying any other nomination to the secretary of state for state treasurer, and Secretary of State Walter L. Hou- ser from placing any other name for the nomination of state treasurer in the La Follette column than that of John J. Kempf, i HOLDS IT° NOT BINDING. New York Court Passes on Arbitration Agreement. New York, Aug. 27.—On the ground that the agreement is not a mutual or reciprocal one Supreme Court Justice Dickey has denied an application by the Tile Layers’ union for an injunc- tion to restrain the Building Trades Employers’ association from “ordering, maintaining or continuing” a lockout in alleged violation of an arbitration agreement entered into between the association and representatives of the labor union on July 3, 1903. In his opinion Judge Dickey said the action was an entirely new one in the courts, but he came to the conclusion that the arbitration agreement was not enforei- ble by the means sought or by any other method for the reason stated. “It is well settled,” said the court, “that an employer has a right to em- ploy and charge any one he pleases and a workman may work or refuse to work at will.” TO DIVERT WHEAT TO GULF.
