UNCLE SAM SENDS =| NOTE TO RUSSIA. | State Department Takas Initial Stens ta Secure Full magere-| i “tion for Injuries to American Shipping Interests. SENATOR MITCHELL MAKES PROTEST. Washington, July 29.—The state Gepartment to-day took the tnittal step looking to the protection of American commerce tn the Pacific from the ravages of the Vladivostok squadron, and securing reparation from the Russian government for fi- ~ nancial injuries already {nflleted up- on citizen of this country through the seizure of American cargoes bound for ports in the far East. Up | to to-day the state department had 1 been unable to take any active steps inthis direction, owing to the absence of any formal protest upon which representations to Russia might be !, To-dey, however, the Port Jand dour milling company of Port- land, Ore, through its attorney, nited States Senator John HH, Mithell, of that state, formally pro- tested to the department agninst the eelzrure by the Russian Vladivostok *,uadron of the American cargo on board the Hamburg-American liner Arabla, bound from Portland to Hong Kong. During {ts period of enforced inac- ti vity, the state department has been making @ thorough study of the law ofnaeutral cargoes and of contraband of war, and consequently was pre- pared to act, promptly and energet!- eally, from the subject matter of to- day's protest. The complaint from the Portland concern had been in the laude of the department only ashort time, when formal representations, based on the statements contained iu Senator Mitchell's protest and couched in the form of an Inquiry, hiad been prepard and forwarded to S&. Petersburg. itis impossible to learn the exact navare of the inquiry, but {t isknown that the Russian government was asking for an explanation of thefacts connected with tho seizure of the stecmship Arabia, together with the reasons that actuated the Russian aval authorities in taking posses- sion of a neutral vessel carrying an & American cargo and bound for 4 British port. Dasex ARABIA CARRIED FLOUR, According to the statements con- cained in the protest of the Portland flour milling company, the Arabia bad on board 99,000 sacks of flour belonging to the company and val- ued at about $100,000 The flour, it ia declared, was not contraband of war, as it was not destined for a Japanese port, but for Hong Kong, and was a part of the company’s norual trade, and not an order re- sulting from the present conflict. The state department was requested notonly to secure sultableindemnity from the Russian government forthe seizure of the flour, but also to make euch representations as would secure kegitimate neutral trade from Amer- ican porte to porte in the far East from such causeless and annoying interference by Russian warships. As to Good Roads. Hard roads were never more of a necessity to this country than atthis particular juncture yet while theman oc the farm is busy paying for high priced court house he protests voiu- bly against appropriations that will eaable him to get out of the mud. “Whena man mentions hard roads the inhabitants go up in the air, for despite the fact that land isfarabove ' the hundred dollar mark, they can’t ’ see how they can afford hard roads at $5,000 to $5,500 per mile,” says €.D. Lyon in Colman’s Royal World. “No use to tell them that you know a. section where land sells for $18 to $35 per acre, and roads are built atl has alike cost, for they won’t listen to you. My idea is that, to begin with, two hard roads, north, east or west, ehould be built acrose each county in " thatcountry, regardless of cost. Let ‘dis bo done by a general levy on the j the M. PLEHVE, RUSSIAN MINISTER, ASSASSINATED Bomb Was Thrown While He; Was on the Way to Report to Czar Nicholas. BODY WAS FRIGHT- FULLY MUTILATED. St. Petersburg, July 28.—M. De Plehve, minister of the interior, and the most powerful official in the Rassian empire, was assassinated this morning on the streets of St. Petersburg. A bomb was exploded under his carriage. De Plehve was instantly killed and his body was terribly mutilated by the explosion. London, July 28.—The St, Peters: burg correspondent of Reuter’s gives the following version of the assasei- nation of M. Plehve, the Russian minister of the interior: Plehve was on his way to Peter- hoff at 10 o’clock this morning to make a report to the emperor. When his carriage was passing in front of Hotel De Varsovie, near the terminus of the Warsaw railroad, a man sud- denly rushed outs of a restaurant which is attached to the hotel, and hurled a bomb at the minister's car- riage. The explosion was terrific. The minister and his coachman were killed on the spot. The carriage and horses were shattered to atoms, The body of M. Plehve was terribly muti- ated. His left arm and both legs were torn off. The bomb thrower was immediately surrounded and ar- Treated. London, July 28.—The St. Peters- burg correspondent of Reuter’s wires that M. Plehve’s assailant is a Jew who refuses to give his name. Geneva, July 28.—The Russian revolutioniats here are jubilant over the death of M. Plehve. It is assert ed widespread that a revolutionary plot is on foot, the most formidable since the assassination of Czar Alex- ander II, The black list includes all the governors of the Russian provinces and ministers, The Czar is also ad- ded to the list, Berlin, July 28.—The unconven- tional newspapers justify the assas- sination of Plehve. The Tageblatt characterizes the deed as “an execu- tion of acriminal guilty of serious crimes against humanity.” Roosevelt Makes Root His Lega- tee. Washington, July 30.—It leaked out here on what is regarded as un- questioned authority that the Presi- dent not only is trying to make Elibu year, but wants to see Root his suc- elected to succeed himself this fall. Mr. Roosevelt is said to be engineer- ing the whole plan of the nomination of Root for governor, and he is rely: ing on the help of Senator Platt, who hopes to give Odell a sharp elap in the face by forcing Root on him. Roosevelt’s plans as to Root do some of his advisers here. Notable among these are Secretary Shaw and Speaker Cannon. Both Shaw and Cannoa are aspirants for the presi- ing Roosevelt’s legatee.

Under the resolution offered by Sena- tor Bailey, and adopted by the com- mittee, I am empowered to appoint euch other committees, aside from the finance and the executive com- mittees, as I deem proper. I shall probably divide the fighting ground in the West into two or three or sev- eral parts and appoint a committee foreach division. This will give that commiiteea definite job of work, and 1 look for results. It will be several days before I ap point tho executive committee and the finance committee, I shall con- sult with the candidates and with all the leaders with a view to getting the strongest possible men to serve, and shall expect the committees to do a power of work. This will be a hard campaign. It is no child’s play to defeat President Roosevelt, but I am confident it can bedone, and I am also confident that practically every Democrat in the country will stand shoulder to shoul- der with me in the struggle.

Chicago Tribune (Republican) Says That Republicans Should Unite With Democrats. The Chicago Tribune editorially says that Mr. Folk should be elected without Republican opposition. It takes this position in these para- graphs: “Mr. Folk should be elected unani- mously, Republicans should unite with Democrats in voting for the man who has made the splendid record he has. The Republicans are no less interested than the Demo- crate in the supression of corruption in Missouri. the coming election. should follow Mr. Folk unquestion- ingly, for he is the best man to lead in the antiboodle war. of Missouri will not content them selves with the election of Mr. Folk, but will choose a legislature that will co-operate heartily with him.
