ADEN, Arabia, July 18.—The British steamship Persia was forcibly detained for an hour in the Red Sea by the Rus- ian volunteer fleet steamship Smol- | ensk, which transferted to the Persia | a portion of the Japanese mails se¢ized on the North German Lloyd steamship Prince Heinrich on July 15. The Smo- lensk had confiscated two bags of the Prinz Heinrich's mail destined for | Nagasaki. LONDON, July 18.—Earl Percy, Un- der Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in the House of Commons to-day, asked General Laurie (Conservative 'and Unionist) to postpone until Thursday a question which Laurie proposed to ask anent the doing of the Russian volunteer fleet steamship St. Peters- burg in the Red Sea, as the Govern- ment’s information was still incom- plete. Earl Percy further said that the question was of the utmost importance |and was engaging the earnest atten- | tion of the Government. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Aden says that the British steamships Woodcock and Dalmatia were held up by the Russians in the Red Sea and detained for three hours. The correspondent says the captain of the Russian volunteer fleet steam- ship St. Petersburg has notifled the | British residents at Aden to wire the British Consuls at Suez and Port Said that he would seize any British steamers bound for the Far East if the contents of their packages were not clearly shown on their manifests, | according to international law. The Daily Mail's St. Petersburg correspondent says that two more | steamships of the Russian volunteer | fleet now at Odessa have received con- fidential orders to leave this week for the Red Sea to seize British vessels which are alleged to be carrying con- | traband of war. | " The standard’s Tokio correspondent, | | | i \ | cabling under date of July 18, says: “The passage of the Dardanelles by steamships of the Russian volunteer fleet attracts increased attention here. The Japanese press continues to dis- credit the supposition that Russia real- ly intends to send naval reinforcements to the Far East. “General joy was caused by the news of the repulse to the Russians at Mo- | tien Pass. The casualties there have | not been reported,. but.it is supposed | they were heavy.” | The Standard’s Odesso dorrespondent, | confirming the Daily Mail's dispatch | from St. Petersburg, says: | “Two more steamers of the volun-. teer fleet left here July 18 for Sebasto- pol, whence, after coaling and arm- ‘lng. it is presumed mey will proceed to the Red Sea.” 4‘ RUSSIA FINDS A LOOPHOLE. ST. PETERSBURG, July 18.—Russia does not foresee international compli- cations on account of the passage of | the volunteer fleet steamships through | the Dardanelles and their subsequent conversion into war cruisers. The framers of the treaty of Paris, in seek- | ing to prevent the ingress and egress of warships, evidently did not expect | the present contingency. ‘ “The St. Petersburg and Smolensk | did not pass the Dardanelles as war- ships, but as merchantmen,” said an official of the Foreign Office. “Under the treaty of Paris there is no question of the right of ships to go out as mer- chantmen. With their subsequent con- | version into warships Turkey has noth- ing to do. The treaty is sllent on the subject.” The precedents allowing unarmed Russian warships to pass the Dardan- elles without protest from the parties | to the treaty of Paris are considered valuable now. While the diplomatists have not questioned the right of Russia to seize contraband of war, the actual confisca- | tion of mails supplies a different ques- tion and Germany, both at Berlin and in St. Petersburg, is investigating the circumstances in order to ascertain whether the Russian commander in this case exceeded his orders. The Admiralty has received ‘reports of the seizure of the Peninsular and | Oriental Company's steamer Malacca on the Red Sea by the Russian volun- teer fleet steamship St. Petersburg and the stopping of the North ‘German Lloyd steamship Prinz Heinrich by the Smolensk, but nothing in regard to the stopping of the British steamship Wai- para by the St. Petersburg. The Ma- lacca had war munitions on board. GERMANY ENTERS A PROTEST. BERLIN, July 18.—The German Gov- ernment has taken a prompt and firm stand in regard to the seizure of the malils of the North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich, which arrived at Aden on July 16 from Hamburg and Southampton for Yokohama, by the Russian volunteer fleet steamship Smolensk on July 15. It has entered a protest against the carrylng off of the mails and asked for a disavowal of the Smolensk’s action and the re- turn of the captured mail sacks. The German Government, the For- eign Office says, recognizes the right to search mails when on board the vessel itself, but claims the Smolensk had no right to take off mails in bulk from the vessel. The further argu- ment is advanced that the right of search can be exercised only by a war- €hip, whereas the Smolensk traversed the Dardanelles ‘only recently flying the Russion commerclal flag and not assuming the character of a warship. The German Government has not ta- ken a position on this last point, but leaves it for future discussion and set- ) tlement. No answer has yet been re- ceived from Russia. RUSSIA’S POSITION AWKWARD. Diplomatic circles believe Russia will speedily disavow the seizure, since a refusal to do so will certainly raise the question of the status of the Smo- lensk. Discussions of the incident among the foreign diplomats show there is a belief that the raising of this queéstion will be extremely awk- ward for Russia, since the Smolensk Togo’s Fleet Inactive While Awaiting Land Attack on Port Arthur. Japanese Movements Indi- cate Belief That End Is Near. Special Dispatch to The Call, CHEFU, July 18.—Admiral Togo's torpedo-boats made a reconnoissance at Port Arthur between 3 and 4 o'clock Saturday morning. Occasional firing was heard during Saturday and Sunday from the land side of the fortress; but there was nothlng to indicate a general attack. Unless the Russian fleet attempts to escape, it is probable that there will be no further naval attack on Port Arthur, because of the unavoidable danger from mines and the comparative in- effectiveness of shell fire from the sea. Japan Is relying upon taking the fort- ress by storm, after it has been thor- oughly invested. The presence among the Miaotao Islands of many Japanese coal schooners and semi-official dis- patch boats strengthens the belief that the end is expected soon. SR TRE B KURDKI'S ARMY WINS A VICTORY ——s Continued From Page 1, Column 7. . once one and then three battalions, but the attempt failed, notwithstand- ing the support given by the horse mountain battery, as our fleld guns could not be brought into action on account of the nature of the ground. “About 8 o'clock General Keller, who was directing the fight around Ikhavuan, deemed it necessary to lend assistance to General Kashtalinsky's column by bringing up from the gen- eral reserve three battalions to the heights surmounted by the Temple. In order to maintain the position we had already occupied it was necessary, ow= ing to the enemy's pressure, to re- inforce immediately the troops on the fighting line, but these’ positions, owing to their situation, were un- tenable. ‘“General Keller found the strength of the enemy so great, as compared with ours, that he decided not to con- tinue the fight and not to bring up either the special or general reserves and artillery, in view of the fact that in case of his ultimately taking the offensive it would be necessary to at- tack without support of the fleld artil- lery. “In consequence of this, General Kel- ler decided at 10:30 o’clock to withdraw’ his troops to the positions originally oc- cupied in the Yanze Pass. The troops retired slowly, step by step and in per- fect order, covered by the fire of a fleld battery, which had been brought ifito action. “Toward midday an offensive move- ment by the enemy in the direction of the right flank of the Yanze Pass posi- tion developed and at the same time a Japanese mountain battery was brought into position in the village of Soudiaputse, two and a half miles south of Ikhavuan. JAPANESE BATTERY SILENCED. “After thirty-four shots had been fired from the third battery of the Third Brigade, which held the saddle to the south of Yanze Pass, the Jap- anese battery was finally reduced to silence. “The fight ceased at 3 p. m. and the troops returned to Tkhavuan. The Jap- anese advance was stopped above the valey of the Iantakhe River, at a posi- tion occupied and maintained by us. “In consequence of a sleepless night and the heat of the day our troops were. greatly fatigued, having been more than fifteen hours on foot and fighting. “Our losses have not yet been exactly ascertained, but General Keller re- ports that they exceed 1000. The gal- lant Twenty-fourth Regiment suffer- ed most. General Keller especially mentions the activity, courage and coolness shown by its commanding offi- cers. Colonel Koschitz was severely wounded in the leg, but remained in the ranks until the end of the action. General Kuropatkin precedes his re- port of the repulse of Lieutenant Gen- eral Count Xeller's force with a lengthy statement of skirmishes by patrols which bring events up to July 16. He does not mention any import- ant engagement, with the possible ex- ception of the occupation of heights north of Yoalintzza by Cossacks, be- foré a detachment of which the Jap- anese fell back. —_—————3 passed the Dardanelles as a merchant- mah and assumed the role of a war- ship in the Red Sea. In determining her status only two alternatives are permissible—she is either a warship or a pirate—and Russia having every rea- son to prevent Germany pressing for a decision on this point will, it is be- lieved, gracefully disavow the rash act of the Smolensk. The newspapers strike a sharp note to-day in discussing the . seizure of mails . from the Prinz Helnrich and raise a unanimous demand for a speedy apology. The Tageblatt refers to.the trial which the Prussian au- thorities began on July 12 at Koenigs- burg, at the instance of the Russian Government, against seven Social Dem. ocrats accused of having smuggled anarchistic literature into Russia, and says: “It is not a bad jest of history that this infringement of international law should strike precisely that power which unmistakably reveals itself at Koenigsburg as a too subservient tool of Russian reaction and police arbi- trariness.” WASHINGTON, July 18.—The au- thorities are viewing with equinamity the actions of the Russian privateers in the Red Sea. It is said that there s little chance of America becoming involved, because the American ves- sels passing through the Red Sea and the Suez canal, excluding warships and transports, have scarcely averaged one a year for several years: past. ——————————— patas deal for g wise denies=—deal (9 CHIL e skey.

SINTZINTIN, sixty-six miles east of Mukden, July 18.—There are constant skirmishes in this region between Amur Cossacks and Japanese scouts.

OYSTER BAY, July 18.—President Roosevelt received by appointment to- day a call from a committee represent- ing the International Federation of Musicians, the members desiring to file with him a protest against the admis- sion to the United States from foreign countriés of musicians who conie here under contract. The committee con- sisted of J. M. Weber, president, and F. M. Smith, secretary of the Musi- | cians’ Union of New York City. They reported to the President that by the admission to this country of musicians who came here under con- | tract a gerious hardship is worked against all resident professional musi- cians, and they urged that the contract labor law ought to be so construed by | the authorities as to exclude musicians | precisely as contract laborers are ex- | cluded. The President received the protest and promised to take the subject under consideration at once with Secretary Metcalf of the Department of Com- | merce and Labor. Former Secretary of War Elihu Root is an overnight Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill. It is known that he came to confer with Roosevelt concerning the speech he will dellver next week at the time of his notification. This is the first time the President and Root have met since the convention, at which the latter, as temporary chairman, sounded the key- note of the Presidential convention. Miss Alice Roosevelt, who has been visiting friends on Long Island, reached | here to-day. This is the first time she ‘has been at home since the arrival b~=~ of the family for the summer. bt sy S HUMILIATING HEARST MEN. IOWA CITY, Iowa, July 18.—Al- though the unexpected resignation of A. W. Maxwell from the State com- mittee spoiled one fight that seemed likely to make to-morrow’s Democratic State convention interesting, another and larger fight has come up to take its place. The anti-Hearst Democrats have now turned their guns upon Charles A. Walsh, member of the Dem- ocratic National Committee for Towa, and it is purposed to-night to oust him from a place on the State committee, to which he was elected by the last State convention on May 4. Having forced out Chairman Maxwell, who was elected to that position in violation of all precedent by-the Hearst majority in the State convention, the conserva- tives are now determined to humiliate and discredit Walsh, who also was a Hearst leader in the recent fight in Jowa. There is reason to believe that the conservatives will succeed If they undertake this, for they are clearly in control of the situation and Max- well's resignation has demoralized the Hearst forces: The various places on the ticket were to-day tendered one man after another, only to meet with refusal. To-night it is uncertain who will be named. The - platform adopted will be dle- tated by conservatives, who will re- iterate the terms of the national plat- form. ———— Y ———— ENOX VISITS ROOSEVELT.

Knox will take an active part in the campaign and will deliver at least two important speeches. The President is working daily on both his notification speech and his letter of acceptance. He will deliver no political speeches during the cam- paign, contenting himself with a statement of his position and of the results achieved during his adminis- tration in the letter of acceptances guest of President | TAMMANY IS RE PRESENTED AT THE PARKER CONFERENCE New York State and City Leaders Meet in the Metropolis to Discuss Campaign Plans, and Question of Man- ager Is Left to the National Committee. ———— NEW YORK, July 18.—Leaders of the Democratic party conferred for more than two hours to-night in the rooms of former Senator D. B. Hill at the Hoffman House, and at the close made public a statement that the chairman of the Democratic National Committee had not been discussed. Privately it was the judgment of all present that the interests of the party would be best conserved by leaving the committee absolutely free to elect its chairman. Jpdge Parker was said to favor this course. The conference re- sulted in an agreement to call a meet- ing of the National Committee to be held at the Hoffman House on July 26. The question of fixing the time and place for the notification of the candidates for President and Vice President was left to the nominees themselves. At the conference were the leaders | who brought about the nomination of Judge Parker. There was also pres- ent Senator Victor J. Dowling of New York, who looked after the Tammany interests. Every one declared that harmony had been the watchword throughout. The conferees were for- mer Senator Hill of New York, James Smith Jr. of New Jerséy; Henry G. Davis, West Virginia, candidate for Vice President; Edward W. Mur- phy Jr. of New York, Senator Gorman of Maryland, William F. Sheehan of New York; Cofd Meyer, chairman of | the New York State committee; John W. Kern of Indiana, James M. Head of Tennessee, Norman E. Mack of Buffalo, Perry /Belmont and August Belmont of New York, Thomas Ryan of Virginia, J. K. P. Hall of | Pennsylvania and John R. McLean of Ohio. STATEMENT TO THE PRESS. The statement issued concerning the conference follows: “J. M. Guffey preslded The gen- tlemen met primarily for the purpose of meeting Senator Davis of West Vir- ginia, nominee for Vice President. An exchange of views followed and-the question as to when the National Committee should be called together for organization was discussed and it was agreed to recommend that the committee be called to meet in New York City at the Hoffman House at 12 o’clock noon on July 26. “The question of fixing a date for the | notification of the candidates was talked over and finally referred to the candidates to fix the date and place of the notification. “There was also a general discussion | as to the favorable prospects of the party in the coming campaign. There was no -discussion whatever concern- ing the selection of a chairman of .the National Committee. “Mr. Davis engaged in the discussion of all topics before the conference, hut in no more personal ‘vein than others in attendance. His most significant statement was in relation to the uniting of all interests. The gathering of so many strong men representing factions | { which had not always pulled together, | he said, was indicative of a strong campaign. “The meeting gave a number of those | present the first opportunity they have had of congratulating Mr. Davis since | | his nomination at St. Louis and the re- ception accorded him was hearty. “The discussion of the prospects in the coming campaign was general character. The opinion was expressed by several that.Western Democrats would give earnest support to the ticket and that no fear of factional op- | position need be entertained.” SAYS PARTY IS UNITED. Speaking of the report that it would be necessary to give the nomination for the Governorship to New York City in order to bring the McCarren and Mur- | phy forces together, August Belmont said: “There is absolutely nothing to it. Victor Dowling was present at the con- ference, representing Tammany, and no mention was made of the situation in New York State so far as any dif- ference between alleged factions of the party is concerned. “There are no factions in the Demo- cratic party in this State and we all expect to work together for success.” Senator Bailey of Texas, who has been in the city several days, did not attend the meeting, although he met several individual members of the con- ference during the day. He declared the chances for party success were better than ever before. It is expected many prominent Demo- crats will go to Esopus this week in an effort to enlist the aid of Judge Parker F.| in | to the support of various aspirants for the national chairmanship. That any one will be successful in this is assert- ed to be very doubtful. i g SURE OF NOMINATION. Circuit Attorney Folk of St. Louis to Head Democratic Ticket. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 18— | On the day before the Democratic | Stafe Convention convenes, Circuit At- torney Joseph W. Folk of St. Louis seems practically assured of the nomi- nation for Governor. Even his most determined adversaries cannot, at this time, name a probable candidate to de- feat him. There is every Indication that the gathering will prove one of the | most interesting from a political stand- point ever held in Missouri. The following is the plank on the boodle issue which the representative of Folk will ask the State Democratic | Convention to incorporate in the plat- form to-morrow: | “The paramount issue before the | people of Missouri is the eradication of ibr)bz:ry from public life in this State. “We sincerely declare unremitting warfare against corruptionists and here announce the decree that there is no room in the Democratic party of Missouri for a boodler or corruptionist | of any sort. We repudiate their sup- port, invite them to leave the State and offer them shelter only in the peniten- tiary if they remain. We have confi- | dence in the honesty of the people and to them we appeal for success. We in- vite all honest people to join us in this crusade against corruption. It is the vital principle involved in this cam- paign and on this issue we stake the hope of the Democratic party of Mis- sourt.” Considerable excitement was caused to-day among delegates to the Demo- cratic State convention by a rumor of a plot to assassinate Joseph W. Folk. A husky detective accompanied the circuit attorney from St. Louis to the | capital and remafned near him during ilh-, day and several of the boodler | | prosecutor’s ardent admirers insisted on forming a body guard for him while ’hn was about the hotel and the streets | of the city | Y R S | WILLIAM JACK ‘ LEWISTON, lda., July 18.—Willlam Jack, a capitalist of Los Angeles, died of heart failure at Grangeville, ldaho County, this morning, where he was visiting.
