DEMOCRACY'S CASE HOPELESS. But an analysis of the situation | shows that there are not a sufficient | number of close States to warrant the | hope that the Democrats can even make a tie. In Ohio Senator Dick was elected by the Leg's a:ure last winter and in Ma y- land Raynor, a Democrat, has been elected to succeed Senator McComas. Thus the Democrats have already | gained one seat, but it is difficult to| figure out where they could gain any more. In many of the States that the Democrats are hoping to win from the | Republicans there are holdover mem- | bers of the State Legislatures with such | Republican majorities as to make it | doubtful if the Democrats could elect | Senators even if they carried the | electorate ticket. SIMILAR OUTLOOK FOR 1907. The outlook for the Democrats in the Senate of the Sixtieth Congress, which | { will come in on March 4, 1907, is not | | { i sible in the next Senate, much more encouraging. Of the Sen- | ators whose terms will expire then six- | teen are Republicans and fourteen are | Democrats. Thus, if the Democrats | should make the maximum gains po!!-‘ they could | | not control that body and could not hope to gain enough two years hence | | to control the Senate in the Sixtietn | | Congress, and it can safely be predict- | ed that unless there is an unprecedent- | ed Democratic landslide this year, the ' effects of which will continue over for | two years, the Senate will be safely | Republican for the entire four years of the next Presidentlal administra- | tion, whether that be Republican or| | province of Izu.

WASHINGTON, July 23.—That sud- den Cabinet changes are apt to be con- fusing to officials of the United States in other parts of the world is evident from a message received at the Navy Department from Rear Admiral Yates Sterling, of the Asiatic squadron. Since Paul Morton, the new Secretary of the Navy, was sworn into office some in- structions were sent to Rear Admiral Sterling, and, with the usual brevity of cable, they were simply signed “Morton,” the last name of the Secre- tary. Rear Admiral Sterling answered promptly as follows: “Instructions re- celved; will be carried out. Who is Morton? STERLING.” —_—— EAGLE MEETS WORTHY FOE IN BIG GOBBLER BELVIDERE, Ill, July 23.—A big| turkey gobbler . owned by George, Saams of Fairfield held its own in a fight with an eagle to-day. The eagle swooped down upon Saams' farm- yard and got hold of the gobbler with- out delay. It started to lift the tur- key and carry it off, but the gobbler balked. The great American bird was surprised to have a farmyard strutter attack it and was so taken up with the fight that it did not see Saams ap- proach with rifle in hand. When the farmer saw that his fowl would get the worst of it in the end he laid the eagle out. From tip to tip it meas- ured eight feet. I | AMERICAN SECRETARY OF STATE WHO WILL ISSUE A STATEMENT OF NATION'S ATTITUDE TOWARD RIGHT OF SEARCH, AND SULTAN'S FOR- GN MINISTER, WHO SAYS TURKEY WILL NOT BAR DARDANELLES. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, July 23.—It is believed here to-night that the United States Government will declare its position on the right of search of vessels on the high seas in time of war and its defini- tion of contraband of war in an official statement to be issued on Monday. The Department of State has this plan un- der consideration, and it is regarded favorably by most of the prominent officials of that department. This state- ment, it is said, will follow practically the same lines as that issued by Pres- ident McKinley in 1898, during the war with Spain. The McKinley proclamation stated primarily that the United States yecog- nized the proposition that a neutral flag is supposed to cover neutral car- goes, and yet admitted the right of search of ships going to an enemy's port. 1If it be not discovered by an ex- amination of the ship’'s papers that it is carrying contraband of war, the search shall go no further, unless there are well-grounded suspicions that the papers are not correct. of war be found the vessel may be seized and her disposition left to a prize court. If the statement be issued by this Government, there will possibly be in- corporated with it the proclamation issued by Russia when the war with Japan began, regarding contraband of war. This proclamation was sent in its entirety to the State Department by Embassador McCormick at the time it was issued. It is explained at the State Depart- ment by officials who favor the issu- ance of some official announcement by this Government that such statement is demanded at this time fori\the infor- mation and guidance of owners of American ships. The inference is that in issuing the statement this Govern- ment has no idea of giving warning to one nation or of upholding the ac- tion of another. The statement it is explained, is practically demanded by the Inquiries which have been coming to the de- partment from Pacific Coast steamship lines which are fearful that some of their vessels laden with provisions, grain, horses, mules, etc., and bound for Japanese ports will be stopped and seized by the warships of the Russian Viadivostok squadron, which is now in the Pacific. There were no more inquiries at the department to-day, but there is still considerable interest manifested in the If contraband probable fate of the Shawmut, of the | bridge carpenter in the employ of the | Boston Steamship Company’s line, which sailed from Seattle on July 16, | on the head and killed this afternoon carrying 60,000 sacks of flour, nearly | by a falling timber.

The greater part of its cargo was consigned to firms in Kobe. but it was felt quite likely that it would ultimately reach the Japanese fighting forces.

PETERSBURG, July 23.—A tele- gram from Liaoyang to the Bureau Gazette says the work of repairing the railway has been completed and that n order has been issued declaring that all persons of whatever rank or na- tionality found crossing the line will be shot on the spot. 3 e O War News Continued on Page 22.

Knapp of California and Lord Bateman, which fook ‘blace in St. George's, Hanover Square, this after-| noon, was a charming one, although rather quiet. I have seldom séen so| many flowers in this favorite church. | In the chancel and on the altar were to this country. She grew stronger, | however, and the trip was made with | masses of marguerites, lilies of all kinds and other white flowers. Favors | of lilies of the valley were distributed | to the guests. The bride, who looked rather nervous but very charming, wore a dress of a | delicate shade of silver gray moire, with fine lace collar and yoke, around her neck being a broad band of black | velvet and a string of fine pearls. A gray hat, trimmed with long gray| ostrich feathers, was worn with this, | and she carried a shower bouquet of| orchids. Mr. Ridley Carter escorted Mrs.| Knapp up the aisle, but she was given away by Lady Alice Leslie. Two lit- tle boys, neéphews of the bridegroom, dregsed in blue satin court costumes, wifth silver braid and lace jabots, fol- lowed the bride up the aisle, one of them holding her bouquet during.the service. The ceremony was performed by the rector of Hobden, Rev. Arthur Han- | bury; the Rev. Archibald Parker and the Rev. David Anderson, the first two being the uncle and brother-in-law of the bridegroom. The guests were principally confined to relatives and intimate friends. who afterward went to the reception at 48 Grosvenor street, given by Mrs. ‘Wood of Hengrave, the bridegroom’s: sister. ROUEN, France, July 23.—Notwith- standing the reports that Mrs. May- brick had gone to Paris prior to sailing for America, there is every indication that she is still here with her mother, Baroness de Roques, at the quiet little cottage at 1 Rue Tannery. The place has taken on an aspect of 'seclusion since Mrs. Maybrick's arrival. The venetian blinds are drawn and the gate to the vine-covered, high stone wall surrounding the house is rigorously guarded against visitors by a venerable servant. But those having relations with the household say that neither the mother nor the daughter has left the| house since they arrived on Thursday morning. ‘When Mrs. Maybrick arrived she brought two large valises and a well- filled wicker hamper. A neighbor who saw her arrive says she was looking fairly well, with her hair turning gray. The family has few friends in Rouen, as the Baroness has maintained strict privacy, being generally known as Madame de Moremont for the purpose of avolding attention. Almost her only intimate acquaintance is her financial adviser, who occuples an official posi- tion, but he is unacquainted with the recent movements at the family cot- tage. SHEPS P S ey Carpenter Is Accidentally Killed. SALINAS, July 23.—Louls Gibbons, a Charles Hanbury acted as best man | ta his brother, owing to the iliness of | his elder brother, who was, however, able to be present. At the house masses of beautiful pink and white flowers were seen everywhere. The bride and ‘bridegroom left fairly early in the aft- ernoon, Southern Pacific Company, was struck l Dakota. Uncle Sam, who frowns upon lotte- ries conducted by anybody else, has stirred the whole country by this last- chance game of his. The Cherokee strip which went to the lucky few was competed for by only 102,000 persons. At Yankton, Bonesteel, Chamberlain and Fairfax throngs of landseekers stood in line many hours in rain and sun to enroll their names, that they might get two and one-half chances in 100 to draw any sort of a farm; one | chance in 1000 to get a farm worth $25 an acre and one chance in 100 to et a farm worth paying the required $4 per acre to the Government and the In- dians. The beneficiaries of this unprece- dented rush for land, this outburst of the national spirit to get something for nothing, are the railroad companies. Thelr passengers have paid them on an average $10 each, which makes their gross receipts from this lottery $1,100,- 000. The average person going to reg- ister has paid fully $5 for lodging and meals, or $550,000 for those items. The total registration fees amount to $27,- 500, or a total outlay for registering alone of $1,677,500. The 107,588 who will draw nothing have therefore expended, besides their time and effort, more than $1,640,000. This is more than the entire reserva- tion of 386,000 acres will cost the sett- lers upon final proof. The thousands who have made the pilgrimage to register have come from 2s far east as New England and Balti- more, south from Louisiana, Texas, Kansas and Missouri, west as far as Arizona, Colorado and Idaho, and north from nearly all the border States. The drawing for farms will occur at Chamberlain, S. D., on July 28 FIVE MEN ARE SHOT. BONESTEEL, S. D., July 23. —Five persons were shot at this place during the last day of registration for Rose- bud homesteads, one of whom is dan- gerously wounded. The casualties: Stanley F. Harrison, special police- man, Wichita, Kan., shot In the fore- head, dangerously. Ell Stanbrough, Oklahoma, special policeman, shot in the leg, not serious. E. E. Moore, Columbus, Mo., shot in leg, accidentally. - Two thugs, names .not learned, peither seriously wounded. The two officers and the unnamed men were shot in a fight which the police made in an attempt to clear the town of lawless characters. It occurred early to-day. The citizens and police had formed a vigllance committee, rounded up about thirty members of the undesirable element and run them out of town, some of them returning in the night. While Officers Harrison and Stanbrough were making the rounds of the town they were attacked and shot by a gang of roughts. The officers drew their revolvers and wounded two of the attacking party, whom they ar- rested. The others escaped. To-night a policeman attempted to make an arrest and the man refused to stop when commanded by the officer to do so. The officer fired a shot, which went wide of its mark and struck E. E. Moore in the leg. TROOPS WILL BE SENT. During the round-up of grafters, law- less characters and other undesirable persons the police captured a wagon contalning a large quantity of dynma- mite and a complete kit of burglars’ tools. These were confiscated and three men were placed under arrest. They refused to give their names and are in jail awaiting a hearing. About forty of those gathered in dur- ing the night were deported to-day. John McPhaul, Government agent in charge of the registration office, re- | ceived a request from the Governor’s office as to whether McPhaul belleved it advisable to send troops to Bonesteel. McPhaul replied that it was his opin- ion that troops should be held in readi- ness for an emergency, and he was later advised that the Governor had decided to act accordingly. Three com- panies will be ordered to hold them- selves in readiness to be present when the reservation is opened. Another squad of police was sworn in to-night and the local authorities be- lieve they will now be able to ecomtrol the roughs
