Russia’s aggressive attention to Ja- pan-bound liners, as evidenced by re- cent geizures of foreign vessels passing through the Suez canal, has aroused in the local commercial world renewed interest in the Russian-Japanese war. { As long a&s the ships of the Russian ! navy were bottled up at Port Arthur lem of continuing commercial deal- ings with Japan was simple. The war rate of insurance was not excessive, Japan's necessity was great and since the war began an uninterrupted stream of merchandisé has heen flowing across the Pacific to the island kingdom. Every vessel arriving here from the Orient has brought chest loads of Jap- anese gold and in return the outward | bound liners have carried flour, lead, | miter, immense shipments of railroad and bridge construction material and cargo after cargo of rolling stock, al} for the ultimate use of the Japanese | Russia’s definition of what would be considered contraband of war was suf- ficiently comprehensive to Include inearly every shipment that has been made to Japan since the beginning of hostilities. Wit no Russian Interfer- fi"encn this stream has flowed without interruption and shippers had almost forgotten the war as a factor of pos- sible interference with the delivery of goods ordered from Yokohama. The reported arrival in the Pacific of the Czar's commerce destroyers has rufied the calm, however, and the notification from St. Peetersburg that the Russian ships will devote their attention to American and other ves- sels carrying merchandise to Japan came as a shock yesterday to shippers and shipowners. The big liner Korea of the Pacific Mail Company’s fleet and the Gaelic, chartered from the White Star Line of Liverpool by the Occidental and nisf Oriental Steamship Company, are the only steamships now on the way from this port to Japan. The Mongolia will leave here July 29 and August 1 the Japanese liner Amer- ica Maru is scheduled to sail. The Mongolia will carry some flour and machinery for Japan.

The Korea's cargo for Japan is val- ued at $284,231. It includes: 354 pack- ages of machinery, 2482 pieces of angle fron, 169,500 pounds of soda ash, 57 pieces of car material, 15,718 pounds of sheet lead, 541,388 pounds of pig lead, 10,820 pounds of sugar, 4514 pounds of ham, 1161 cases of canned goods, and lard, coffee, dried fruit, fiour, hay, bar- ley and millstuffs. The Gaelic’s Japanese freight is val- ued at $120,022 and includes 4100 cases condensed milk, coffee, sugar, ham and bacon, lubricating oil, machinery, elec- trical supplies and canned goods.

PETERSBURG, July 20.—The news of the first appearance of the Viadivostok squadron in the Pacific since the outbreak of the war, tele- graphed from Tokio, causes no sur- prise at the Admiralty here. Vice Ad- miral Bezobrazoff's action, giving the slip to Vice Admiral Kamimura and passing Tsugari Straits, is regarded as evidence of the insufficiency of the Japanese naval forces. It is probably the purpose of AIA miral Bezobrazoff to raid the coast towns of Japan, capture merchant- men, make a naval demonstration off Yokohama and generally create a panic among the population in order to compel Rear Admiral Togo to re- inforce Admiral Kamimura and thus weaken the squadron off Port Arthur. The idea that Bezobrazoff would seri- ously attack large ports of Japan is, however, rejected, owing to the danger from submarine boats, mines, torpedo- boats and shore batteries. The report is current that the Viad- ivostok squadron is homeward bound, under orders to effect a juncture with the first division of Vice Admiral Ro- jestvensky's Baltic squadron, which is ready to go out on a trial trip in the Baltic. L T e NO CONTRABAND ABOARD. Seizure of Two Merchantmen by Jap- anese Not Understood. TIENTSIN, July 20.—The steam- ship Hipsang, belonging to the Indo- China Navigation Company, bound from Newchwang to Chefu, is now four days overdue. She is reported to have struck a mine, but this has not| been confirmed. The owners of the steamships Pei- ping and Hsiping have not yet learned the reasons for the capture of these vessels by the Japanese. They main- tain that they carried no contraband. The steamship Peiping, owned by the Chinese Engineering and Mining Company of Shanghai, was reported | esterday to have been captured by a apanese cruiser and to be on her way to Japan with a prize crew on board. After the Hsiping was captured she was taken into Sasebo, Japan, to await the action of the naval prize court. S W SINKS A NEUTRAL VESSEL.

TOKIO, July 20.—The steamship overhauled by the Russlan Viadivos- tok squadron was the Takashima. She arrived at Mororan at noon to- day and reports that she, left the Rus- slan vessels steaming to the southeast at great speed. This course creates the impression here that they are heading for Saigon, the capital of French Indo-China, although it is possible that this course is a ruse to deceive the Japanese. ————— BESIEGERS ON DEFENSIVE.

The Embassador also presented a general protest against the action of the Russian volunteer fleet steamships in the Red Sea. The protest was in the form of a verbal note, made in conformity with telegraphic instructions from the Brit- ish Government. It did not ralse the question of the passage of the Darda- nelles by vessels of the volunteer fleet. SHIPMENTS OF CONTRABAND. Russia has reason to believe and con- tends that the Malacca, in addition to British Government stores, had on board munitions intended for Japan. It is understood that before sending the cruisers the Russian authorities be- came satisfled, through an elaborate system of espionage, that an immense amount of contraband was going from England through the Red Sea to Japan, and they decided to stop the traffic. It is understood that if this traffic is now diverted to the cape route the Russian Admiralty is prepared to send ships to the Cape of Good Hope. If Great Brit- ain opposes the passage of the Darda- nelles by more vessels of the volunteer fleet the ships intended for the cruising off the cape may be sent from.the Baltic. The attempts to create a sensation out of the passage of the Dardanelles by the Russian guardship Cherno- moretz are regarded here as ridiculous. This warship, being the regular guard- ship, has been passing in and out of the Black Sea for twenty years. PARTY LINES SET ASIDE. LONDON, July 20.—The opposition leaders in the House of Commons have allowed it to be understood that they will be prepared to support the Gov- ernment in its representations to Rus- sia in regard to the seizure of the steamship Malacca in the Red Sea. The directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, at a meeting this afternoon, decided to urge strongly on the Government the necessity for ac- tion in regard to the seizure of the Ma- lacca. The Government has been defi- nitely informed that the only explo- sives on the Malacca were stores | shipped by their Government to Hong- kong. It appears that the Smolensk and St. Petersburg not only passed through the Dardanelles under the Russian com- mercial flag, but that they also went through the Suez canal under this flag on their outward voyage. The Malacca’'s passengers have been transferred to the steamer Marmora of the Peninsular and Oriental line. It is said that the Malacca has been especially waited for by the Russians, on secret information from Antwerp that she was carrying ammunition and iron work for a crane at Moji, Japan. She was arrested during the morning of July 13, when two and a half miles off Great Hanish Island, near Jebel Zukor, in spite of her captain’s pro- test that the ammunition on board was intended for the British army at Sing- apore and Hongkong. The crew.of the Malacca was kept under strict arrest, and when it arrived at Suez at dawn July 19 it was not allowed to com- municate with the shore. The Malacca arrived at Port Said at dawn to-day and asked for 400 tons of coal, fresh water and provisions for Cherbourg. The case was referred to the Egyptian Government, it being the first time on record that an alleged prize had been taken through the canal under a different flig. It happens that that the Malacca had an abundance of coal already and was in no great need of water or provisions. Therefore she might have sailed forthwith, but she remains here pending instructions. PORT SAID, July 20.—The crew and passengers of the Peninsular and Ori- ental steamship Malacca, seized by the Russian volunteer steamship St. Pe- tersburg in the)Red Sea, have been landed here. The ship is detained by the authorities, who are waiting instruc- tions before taking further action. REPLY TO BERLIN DELAYED. BERLIN, July 20.—Russia has in- formed Germany, according to the Co- logne Gazette, that no report has been received from the commander of the Smolensk regarding the seizure on July 16 of mails on board the Prinz Hein- NOMINATE FOLK FOR GOVERNOR KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 21.—A special to the Times from Jefferson City, Mo., says: Joseph W.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 20— The platform adopted by the Demo- .| eratic State convention to-night pledges support to Parker and favors the in- itiative and referendum, the assess- ment of franchises, equal rights to labor and capital, separating thz police from politics, the eradication of the granting of railroad passes to legisia- ‘tors and the building of good roads. The principal plank in the platform is in regard to bribery, which is of great Alength and strongly worded. STEAMSHIPS SAILING FROM SAN FRANCISCO IN DANGER OF CAPTURE BY RUSSIAN SQUADRON Kuroki Is Moving to Attack the Headquarters of Kuropatkin. Special Cable to The Call and New York Herald. i opyright, 1904, by the New York Ierald Publishing Company. ST. PETERSBURG, Julyg 20.—Ac- cording to the latest information re- ceived, the battle of Motien Pass was more serious than at first supposed, the Russians having had at least 30,000 men engaged. Once more victory was won by the Japanese, owing to thelr far su- perior artillery, which cut the gallant Twenty-fourth Regiment to pieces, and in the rétreat, which reached to Siako- lina, the Russian losses must have been great. Up to the moment of send- ing you this I am still without details as to losses, beyond the fact that they exceeded 1000. This last action has brought General Kuroki to within twenty-two miles of Liaoyang, which cdused a nervous feel- ing to-day. The next move of the Jap- anese will be to capture the headquar- ters of the commander-in-chief. The Official Gazette announced in a special edition- to-night two days’ fighting, yesterday and the day before, owing to General Kuroki's advancing in force from Matse along the Liao- yang road. This looks as though the | fears of an attack on Liaoyang are go- ing to be shortly realized. Foreign critics are asking why Count | Keller was sent to attack the enemy without knowing its force. The reply; is that the Japanese line is of such ex- traordinary length that ordinary scouting parties are helpless, and the| only means of ascertaining the num- | bers of the enemy is the sending of | powerful reconnoitering forces, thereby | forcing an action. \ This will explain several considerable | engagements in which the Russians, after fighting, retired. The retreat had been intended before the battle began. According to Russtan military opinion, such retreats do not signify battles| lost, being merely part of the plan of -—_ s rich. Pending the arrival of this re- port the Russian Government cannot definitely answer Germany’s represen- tations. The Hamburg-American line has not received any confirmation of the re- port, cabled to the Daily Mail of Lon- don, from Suez, that the steamship Sambia of that line had been captured by the Russians in the Red Sea. The officials of the line discredit the report. PARIS, July 20.—Information reach- ing Government quarters here leads the officials to believe that Russia will release the British and German mer- chantmen seized in the Red Sea as a means of averting international com- plications. e e WAR SPIRIT RUNS HIGH. British Press a~* Public Clamor for an Accounting With Russia. ; LONDON, July 20.—Thd Associated Press to-night interviewed many prom- inent persons connected and In close touch with the Government relative to the seizure of British vessels by steam- ers of the Russian volunteer fleet in the Red Sea. As a result of these inquiries there is shown to be a hostile feeling against Russia, of a strength and bitterness almost without precedent with the war. The most conservative, who have been in the service of the Governnient for many years and who openly deplored the haste with which they thought Great Britain had been plunged into the Transvaal war, to-night frankly declared for a policy of reprisal against what is regarded as Russia’s violations of treaty and her piratical attack on British commerce. The warlike tone of such papers as the Times, the Standard, the Morhing Post and the Daily Telegraph, which in national crises hitherto almost in- variably have advised caution, has had its inevitable effect. There has been stirred up a storm of indignation among all classes in the United King- dom, the strength of which the Gov- ernment itself can scarcely gauge. Those who deplored the outbreak of the war between Japan and Russia and insisted publicly and privately that Great Britain, crippled financially after her South African campaign, must not be drawn into the Far Eastern struggle, are among the most outspoken cham- pions of a physical force that will pre- campalign. | | vent the repetition of the Malacca in- cident in the Red Sea. Those few officials at the Foreign Of- | fice who are In full possession of all details of Great Britain's desire to ar- | rive at an entente with Russia are in| despajr. They realize that the policy 80 carefully fostered by King Edward | and Foreign Minister Lansdowne will| now be indignantly repudiated by all parties in the House of Commons and | involve with the public the downfall of | any Ministry advocating it. Every nerve will be strained, however, by the Foreign Office to secure from Russia an | explanation that will pacify the ag-| grieved feelings lof the British public. | However, there is expressed at the| Foreign Office and elsewhere almost poignant regret that Russia, rightly or wrongly, should have taken up the po- | volunteer cruisers in the Red Sea. | Lord Lansdowne’s policy since the| first whisper of war between Japan and Russia reached Downing street has been one of consistent neutrality. The| unlooked-for developments in the Dar-| danelles and in the Red Sea embarrass Lord Lansdowne more than the cir- cumstances themselves would indicate. The Government, weakened by internal dissensions, could scarcely stand for a day against a demand for reprisals' against Russia, and this very danger | is being fostered by leading Govern-| ment newspapers. | The news that there may be an ami- | cable adjustment of the difficulties as| | the resuit of an interview between Em- | | peror Nicholas and Count Lamsdorfr, | from St. Petersburg, is not yet known | to the British public and press. If such an adjustment eventuates it will let| Premier Balfour's Government out of | {one of the most awkward and most | | serious crises it has had to face in its| checkered career. | —_———————— 1 Against Sale of Poisons.

PROFESSOR COOLIDGE TALKS OF RUSSIA P S L The first of a series of four lectures to be given under the auspices of the Mechanics’ Institute took place last night in the art gallery of the Mechan- ics’ Pavilion. Archibald Cary Coolldge, assistant professor of history, Harvard University, entertained a large audience with a complete review of the causes of the present war in the Far East and of Russia’s attitude, past and present. Professor Coolidge 1s one of the leading authorities,on Russia. In his introductory Professor Coolidge reviewed the beginning of the modern era of Japan and also the slow awak- ening of the Slavic empire. In referring to Russian diplomacy he said: Many have referred to the alleged dealing and decelt of the Russian diplomats. England and the United States, however, feel perfectly able to care for themseives diplo- matically, but the Russian Government is credited by them with e clev s than it credite itself with. The exten: of Rus- sia has caused a great deal of talk. If we were to take from Russia to-day the territory it has acquired since 1790 there would stiil be left a territory larger than the United States. The advance of Russia has been like that of a glacier—slowly but surely. The rea- son Russia has grown so fast within the last twenty years is owing to an enormous increase of her population, the developing of her re- sources and the buile of railroads. ~ Still Russia, between the years of 1800 and 1300, has grown no more than has our own coun- try, or than other world powers. Where Rus- sia’ added Siberia, we have added the entire West from the Mississippi to the Paeifio. Rus- sia’s alleged greed for land did not prevent her from selling Alaska to us. Great Britain, France and Germany bave added aimest twice as many square miles to their territory as has Russia. Russia’'s greatest gain was Siberia, but this was acquired in much the eame fash- double fon—from nomad tribes—as was our West from the Indians. Russia had other lands, richer and more attractive. Until lately $ beria was the “‘great unknown, prison of criminals, the home of adventure and tramps. With the building of the Tran: Siberian rallroad the life of the peasantry be- came more endurable and ceived a forward impulse. Although the road waer bullt as a military measure, Russia was uo more prepared for the results of the last ten years than any other nation. The Chine Japanese war and the Boxer war came like a lightning flash, and hostilities in the Russo- Japanese war began before Russia was ready o meet emergencies placed upon her main rallway. Russia regarded Japap in the Liaotung Peninsula as dangerous and when each of the great powers demanded fts slice from the victorlous Japanese Russia claimed and obtained Port Arthur. Korea, whose people have no more liking the Japanese immigration re- tor than for the Russian, was destined to become the prey of a greater pation. And between the choice of the two Koreans would choose Russian occupancy Ruesians _ would merely bring their officlals, a few traders and obtain franch while the Japanese would usurp the sov ignty of the kingdo: and a heavy immigration of Japanese would begin.
