P. Morgan & Co. and American and Bel- gian associates. It now remaws for the directors of the China-Ametican Development Company, in which Mor- gan has a controlling interest, to act upon the matter at a.meeting to be held | w o earl‘ in July. the concession built. China complains that th ods of the company have caused the Chinese to lose faith in this particular enterprise. China has paid to the com- pany several millions of dollars in Chi- A por- tion of these bonds were sold by the company, but the majority are now held Morgan and his associates. If the deal is closed these bonds wili. be de- livered to the Chinese Government. It is thought not improbable that the Bel- gian holders interested in the company may be loth to surrender the conces- sion. In certain governmental circies there is some regret'at the prospective sur- render of the concession. It is realized that an Ameriean railway from Canton to Hankow would do much to assist the development of American trade and sustain and fhcrease American prestige. This 1s’ precisely what some people think is one of the reasons why China is willing to pay a great sum for the concession which she gave for noth- ing to the American company. China will push the railroad, it is un- derstood, and then control it absolutely herself. Thie will probably result in a change in the treatment of the Chinese on railroads comtrolled by foreign in- terests in China. At present there is a “Jim " Crow” arrangement. ~“The Chi- nese are, in traveling on these foreign- operated railroad trains, obliged to oc- cupy other cars than those allotted to Europeans and Americans. —_———————— PLUCKY WOMA SPOLS PLANS OF ORSETHIEF BAKER CITY, Or., June 25.—Whijle en- tertaining visitors at her home late last night Mrs. O.

Each Side Holds Same Line It Occupied at Begimming of the Combat. ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.—The Em- from. General Linevitch, dated June 25: “After the Japanese advance on our right flank, which I have already report- ed, the enemy advanced against our front east of the railway, where the Cossacks, noticing the enemy’s advantage, had whhdrawn slowly. “'On June 19 our-cavalry,” having been reinforced, met the Japanese advance, when the enemy hastily withdrew to the southward. “‘On the morning of June 20 our cav- alry reoccupled points on the Mandarin road.

At noon our men to the north withdrew and the ad- vance guard of the div islon retreated still farther to the heights north of Schichusa, in face of superior forces, finally falling back as far as Liaoenjao.” The fight end- €d in‘the evening, the enemy remaining some- four ‘miles south of this spot. It was found lgter that two regiments of Japanese infaptry and.two regiments of cavalry, with “mountsin-and field gung, had advaficed alon: the Man- darin r( “To the. west . three battalions. of in- fantry,-a. squadron of “cavalry and, three gups advanced. We resolved to advance on June 20 in order to.drive the enemy back and to enable our advance guards to recover their former. positions. . For this purpose the troops selected began to move toward Liaocenjao. Scouts were thrown out and the Japanese retired be-: fore our advance guards. “On thé eveéning of June 20 our advanced troops o¢cupled Menchuagai and a pass to the west of that place. “On the morning of June 21 our further advance began and the enemy, pursued by us, retired gradually to a position near Rescopingao. A lively fire was opened by degrees, four Japanese batteries being engaged. The Japanese showed a dispo- sition to offer an obstinate resistance, and the appearance of our troops nere caused confusion among them, compelling them to send for reinforcements. “The object of our advance being fully attained, our troops were withdrawn in the falling darkness, the positions which the enemy had occupied before our ad- vance remajning in our hands. “A Japanese battalion of 200 cavalry ap- peared north of Chajushen, Korea, on June 20.”" ST s RUSSIANS ARE OUTNUMBERED. Japanese Armies Now Have a Strength of Nearly 600,000 Men. ST. PETERSBURG, June 25.—The Russky Invalid, the army organ, sup- plies an argument for peace in an esti- mate of the strength of the Japanese armies, which'it places from 550,000 to 600,000 men, including the forces oper- ating in Korea. In the five Japanese armies opposing General Linevitch, ex- clusive of cavalry and artillery, it es- timates that there are from 430,000 to 450,000 bayonets, which give Field Marshal Oyama a decided numerical su- perjority over the strength usually al- lotted to Linevitch’s army. The Japanese forces, it says, are di- vided as follows: General Xuroki, 115,000 to 120,000 bayonets; ~General Oku, 110,000 to 115,000 bayonets; Gen- eral Nogi, 80,000 to 90,000 bayonets; General Nodzu, 45,000 bayonets; Gen- eral Kawamura, 73,000 to 80,000 bay- onets. The Novoe Vremya prints an inter- view which its correspondent at Paris had with a 'Japanese diplomat, who says that, while nobedy outside of the Emperor of Japan and his princjpal ad- visers is yet in possession of Japan's tersus, he believes that they are mod- erate and will be acceptable. He adds that Japan is anxious to conclude a lasting peace, but that her ‘attitude is not influenced by the slightest doubt as to her financial 3bility to continge the war, she having anticipated a much longer and more dlfl!cult pevod of hos- tiljties.

AGAINST WHOSE DEPARTMENT CHARGES OF GRAFT ARE MADE. ~ s OB Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, POST BPXLDI‘IG. WASHINGTON, June 2.—There is m trouble in store for Secpétary of . culture Wilson and his rtmel through swhich the anmm dmrlbunau of free seed is. ‘ta President Roosevelt by U"&. of Ni quiry. In this letter Nellis says: “The communications I sént you during the sprln& of 152 concerning charges against Department of Agriculture were, I believe, all referred to Secretary. Wilson. As he is not likely to investigate his official acts or those of his subordi- nates, nothing very tangible, 1 imagine, was ‘ever. submitted to.you. At best rothing more than an ex parte report could have been made, as the facts, sup- ported by absolute proof in our posses- sion, were never called for, though they ‘were offered to several branches of the Government. This scandal has cropped out on several occasions in the public press, never 1o be denied or explained, but always to be smothered. “At a hearing held in Boston the Gov- ernment, accepted witnesses who clearly swore that they had been parties to a conspiracy. This testimony is suppressed by being omiftted from the printed rec- ord, thus preventing its final submission to the court. “It is only a matter of time when the truth must be established, and the belief that you are anxious and willing to ex- pose any wrongdoing, no matter wheére found or when done, causes us to again appeal to you, asking that this depart- ment he investigated by disinterested ren who are beyond jts inzuence. “‘The ‘One man power! would be most fully illustrated if the details of the seed distributions were investigated.”” Nellis said to-day: “‘Only last season the official in charge of the purchasing of seeds stated he would. not divulge ‘the source of supply or the prices paid by the department for seeds, yet more- than $200,000 is annually spent for this ‘free graft' without any question being asked.”” Nellis took hls case to the Court of Claims and the claim was disallowed. It is asserted here. that if President Roosevelt should order an investigation of affairs in the department by disin- terested persons it would be shown that in connection with the distributionof seeds in 1902 and 1903 a large quantity of seeds was purchased and found to be utterly worthless and inferior. . Seeds costing $20,000, it 13 -alleged,' were burned or thrown away.

This highly connected Englishman is the central figure in a complicated and amazing scandal of international pro- portions, involving Hon.

Spain, present Canadian Wreck Commissioner and com- mander of Canadian cruisérs, and his wife, Mary Beatrice Spain, for' years leader of the Government House soclety 4n Ottawa and a close personal friend of Lord and Lady Minto.

G. V. Spain and main- tained marriage relations with the real Mrs. -Spain in' this city. There is a see- ond charge agalnst Captain Salmon on which he is held, together with Dr. An- drew Fulton of Brooklyn, to await the action of the Grand Jury. Emphatic_denial of both charges is made by Captain Salmon, Mrs. Spain and Dr. Fulton, while astonishing coun- ter. charges are made of an alleged con- spiracy, hatclied in the highest official circles of Canada, to wreck and _dis- haonor Salmon’s career and to biight the reputation of defenseless woman he has ventured to befriend. It now appears that, in October of last year, CaptAin Salmon publicly resigned thé post of, Canadian Wreck Commis- sioner, boldly assigning as his reason that the Canadian Minister of Marine, Ray- mond Prefontaine, had attempted to in- fluence the declsion in an important col- lision case involving a big sum of money ;md the responsibility for the loss of five ives. Captain Spain quietly proceeded to New York, where he employed detectives and lawyers and finally succceeded in landing Salmon in jail under a charge supported by alleged confessions which promise soon to be the subject” of the vest inquiry. Salmon and Mrs. Spain insist that proof will be forthcoming of a conspiracy en- neered By a powerful Governmental ring n Canada to crush Salmon, fearing fur- ther exposure at his hands. A singular feature of this case is the fact that the prosecution’s charges are based to a great extent upon:alleged con- fessions procured by Sir Charles W. Gwynn, a young lawyer. According to this witness, Captain Salmon, Mrs. Spain and Dr. Fulton all confessed their mis- deeds in full to him. Although Captain Salmon is still awaiting action by the Grand Jury, Lawyer Gwynn has sailed for Europe and no one knows the date of his return.

AMERICAN CROOKS INVADE ENGLAND Confidence Men From United States Follow Tourists Across Ocean. LONDON, June 25.—During the past week the American invasion of London has surpassed previous records.

An inspector of Scotland yard sald that he had been compelled to give many of these American suspects orders to leave England, but nevertheless reports are re- ceived daily ‘of operations of confidence men and card sharps.
