Subject Discussed by Cabinet but No Action Taken. ‘Washington, May 17.—Some impor- tant subjects were considered during the day oy the cabinet at its semi- weekly meeting, the principal®ne be- Ing the Loomis-Bowen case. Early in the day Minister Bowen presented to Secretary Taft his response to .th2 statement of Secretary Loomis. Be- fore Secretary Taft reached the White House to attend the cabinet meeting a request reached him from Mr. Bowen for certain papers bearing upon the conutroversy which were in the state department. These were furnished to him with the understanding that he would make an additional statement regarding the facts disclosed in the papers. That statement has not reached Secretary Taft vet and no definite action will be taken in the case until Mr. Rowen’s added statement shall have been received and submit- ted to Secretary Loomis and his an- swer laid before Secretary Tait. During the day Mr. Bowen called at the White House and through Secre- tary Loeb sent a ncte to Secretary Taft. The note simply indicated the presence at the exécutive offices of Senor Pastor y Mera, a friend of Mr. Bowen, whom the minister desired should talk with the president and Secretary Taft. Soon afterwards Se- nor Mera had a conference with the president and Secretary Taft, the talk lasting some time. Senor Mera did not disclose the details of the inter- view, but it is known that, having at one time been connected with the as- phalt company in Caracas, he was en- abled to throw some light upon the present situation. When Secretary Taft left the White House he said that no determination of the case had Heen reached and none would be until all the facts from both sides had Dbeen developed. 1lle indi- cated this might require several days.

MAY PROVE COUNTRY'S SALVATION EXPECTED TO GIVE RUSSIANS A DECISIVE PREPONDERANCE ON THE WATER. — St. Petersburg, May 17.—The naval game in the Far East is watched with intense interest, but the admiralty is able to throw but little light on the situation. It gives no confirmation of the Tokio report that Admiral Rojest- vensky returned to Honkohe bay. The Russian admiral is keeping his move- ments and plans secret, not communi- cating even with the home authori- ties. The many wild reports emanating from Tokio are attributed to the agi- tated state of mind of the Japanese over the result of the coming battle. The story that sailors from the crews of the interned Russian ships at Shang- hai are being sent to complete the complement of Rojestvensky’s fleet T8 nonseuse, as is the previous story that a large number of mercenaries were shipped at Madagascar. The admiralty considers there is no harm now in divulging the fact that Rojestvensky's ships are overmanned instead of un- dermanned, as when they left Liban there was still hope that Chilean and Argentine warships could be pur- chased and portions of the crews de- signed for them were carried on board the Russian: fleet. Will Avoid Straits of Formosa. Many naval men incline to the opin- fon that Rojestvensky will pass out of the China sea into the Pacific through the Bailintang channel, north of the island of ILuzon, Philippine islands, and give Formosa a wide berth instead of sailing through the 200-mile stretch of the straits of Formosa, in which the Russians might be subject to a tor- pedo boat attack. Another division of reinforcements for Rojestvensky is almost ready at Cronstadt and will be sent out under the command of Rear Admiral Pare- nago. It will consist of two fine new battleships, the Slava and the Em- peror Alexander 1L, two cruisers, a torpedo cruiser, a gunboat, a transport and several minor units. The division is now engaged in speed trials and maneuvering off Cronstadt. The ap- pearance of this reserve division in the Far East in the course of the summer should the hostile fleets suf- fer equally in the coming -battle is counted upon to give Russia the neces- sary. decisive preponderance upon the sea. 'I'he possession of this division, naval men believe, may ultimately Pprove Russia’s salvation. OFFICIALLY DENIED AT BERLIN. Report That German Troops Had Oc- cupied Haichou. Berlin, May 17.—The foreign office, replying to an inquiry of the Asso- ciated Press regarding the excitement at Tokio over the report that German troops had occupied Haichou, in the southern part of the Shantung penin- sula, says the report is wholly incor- rect and one of several reports de- signed to make it appear that Ger- many is attempting in Shantung what Russia did in Manchuria. The Ger- man government is doing nothing in Shantung outside of fulfilling her treaty agreement with China, which fact has been communicated to both the Washington and Tokio govern- ments. The foreign office regards these reports as spread to mislead the opinion of the world concerning Ger- many’s aims and acts. Tolkio, May 17.—It is semi-officially announced that the Japanese govern- ment has received conflicting reports relating to the Haichou incident, one being to the effect that the Germans occupied the place and raised and ga- luted their flag and another to the et- fect that the Germans were merely engaged in surveying. Pending the receipt of full and correct information the government here refrains from dis- cussing the matter. MORE LIBERTY FOR JEWS. Basis of Plan Under Discussion by Russian Commission. St. Petersburg, May 17.--The Asso- ciated Press learns that the basis of the project for the extension of the rights of Jews now under discussion by the committee of ministers is the | complete removal of the time limit of residence of Jewish merchants of the i first and second class in the large cit- ,des of Russia (the period is now re- stricted to three months annually) and the extension of the unrestricted (right of residence of Jewish artisans. OFFICIAL DENIAL MADE. Russian Press Aroused by Alleged Re- marks of Kaiser. i St Petersburg, May 17.—The Rus- sian: press is considerably exercised over the reports of Emperor William's recent speech at Strasburg, Alsace: Lorraine, criticising the Russiaf offi- cers at the front, and the German am- bassador, Count von Alvensieben, has taken pains to issue an official denial 1 2 BEMIDJT, mmssom;.'mm,ogy, MA WILL GO TO FAR EAST ANOTHER DIVISION OF RUSSIAN] { under the auspice§ of Baron Tiesen- POLITIZAL CLUB AUTHORIZED.

Phase In ‘hausen ‘and other prominent Moderate Liberals and has been authorized by Interior Minister Bouligan. This ex: ample is expected to be followed at Moscow and elsewhere. The formation f authorized clubs.for the discussion and propagation of political ideas wiil mark a distinctly new phase in the reform movement. ‘With the passage of the Russian May day many foreign newspaper ¢¢ respondents who expected an interior crisis in the spring are leaving St. Petersburg convinced that all pros- pects of serious extensive disorders are over for the present. < Russian Patrol Fires on Mob. Warsaw, May 17.—A gathering of Russian and. Jewish socialists on Na- lewki street was dispersed at mid- night by a volley from an infantry patrol. The police previously had fruitlessly tried to disperse the demon- strators and finally summoned a mili- tary patrol. The latter fired at the crowd, wounding a few persons slightly. NO FAVORS SHOWN AMERICANS. Contracts for Canal Supplies Will Go to Lowest Bidders. i Washington, May 17.— President Roosevelt is determined that in buying materials for the construction of the Panama canal the government shail|yion wil enforce the com] . not be placed at the mercy of the coun- try’'s industrial trusts. The canal com- mission will buy its materials where it can get them the cheapest. The" de- cision 'was made nominally by the ex- ecutive committee of the isthmian ca- nal commission, but as it was rendered after a conference with the president the determination is evidently his. The commission needs two cargo carrying ships of about 6,000 tons dis- placement. It can buy them from British shipbuilders and have imme- diate delivery of them for $750,000. It can get them from American shipbuild- ers in eighteen mpnths at a cost of $1,400,000. Tt was put-up to Rooseveit and as a result the ‘contract will be. made with foreign Bhipbuilders for the "two ships as soon as possible.

Within the last three or four days, it is reported by men who were close observers o. his operations in the celebrated “May deal,” he has acquired a big founda- tion upon which to erect prices.

Chicago, May 17.—Corn for delivery on the board of trade during the tur- rent month -is suid to have been cor- nered.

WILL GALL FOR TBUUPS MAYOR DUNNE WARNS CHICAGO -~ LABOR LEADERS NOT'TO EXTEND STRIKE. MORE SCHOOL CHILDREN WALK 0UT BOARD OF EDUCATION THREAT- ENS TO ARREST AND PROS- ECUTE PARENTS. Chicago, May 17.—Mayor Dunne had a talk with theleaders of the team- sters and told them if the strike spread he would order out the militia, as the police could not preserve order. The liverymen and cab companies also had a conference with the mayor, the strike leaders having refused to order cab drivers {o deliver their pas- sengers at the boycotted stores.. The mayor ‘said he would revoke the li- cense of any cab driver who disobeved the city ordinance which requires the taking of passengers to their destina- tion. More school children “struck” on ac- count of the delivery of coal by non- union drivers.

An additional number of strike breakers were brought into the city during the day, but some of them de- serted because they did not know a strike was in progress here. Deliveries were made with com- paratively_little interference, though there were more riots and several non- union drivers were assaulted and in- Jjured. MAY LOCK OUT DRIVERS.

The mayor talked plainly of the possibilities of the police being unable to preserve peace in case anything approaching a gen- eral strike occurred, accompanied as it probably would be by a renewal of violence and rioting on a larger scale. RESCUED BY POLICE. Alleged Strike Breakers Badly Beaten by a Mob. Chicago, May 17.—George Tallman and Henry Coles, two colored men at- tacked by a mob of strike sympathiz. ers at Fourteenth and State streets, were rescued by fhe police. The ne groes had been recognized as having driven teams for the Employers’ Teaur ing company and were severely heat en. The police used clubs vigorously in dispersing the crowd. Fatrick McMahon, president of the Terra Cotta, Sand and Brick Team sters’ union, has partially rerovered from a blow on the head with a “black- jack” ~supposedly administered by “sluggers” hired by another faction of the teamsters. McMahon says he will continue his fight against the policy of President Shea in the present strike as he has been doing. Athough he was-on the lookout for a personal at tack two assailants executed their work upon him in bis own doorway. TO REPLACE STRIKERS. Big Consignments of New Men Arrive. in Chicago.
