'RUSSIA TO SEND HER GREATEST STATESMAN AS PEACE ENVOY. ey ST. PETERSBURG, { July 13.—M. Mura- | Vieff has resigned | | position as chizf plenipoteniiary. may be regarded practically certain that he will be replaced by M. de Witte, presi- | dent of the committee | | as 1 | | | | | | of ministers, who all |! along has been con- ‘ sidered the Russian statcsman pre - emi- | nently qualifisd to | undertake the difficult of gotiating peace with Japan. rta ne Muravieff Retires| and De Witte | Wili Go. CHANGE IN PLANS | | ———e | | Emperor at Last|| Heeds Public | Clamor. [ | VIENNA, July 12.—A mailed report has been recelved here from St. Pe- tersburg stating that 100 kilograms of | dynamite were found in a cellar be- | neath the imperial apartments in the | castle of the late Grand Duke Sergius at Ilinsky, near Moscow, where Czar was expected to take up his resi- dence. Many arrests have been made. The Czar’s visit has been abandoned. ST. PETERSBURG, July 13, 2:12 a. m.— Though the Emperor on two previous oc- cas s flatly declined to accept M. ae as a peace plenipotentiary, he has now indicated his readiness to make the appointment to fill the vacancy | caused by the resignation of M. Mura- vieffl. The commission, hewever, will not signed until Foreign Minister orff, who throughout has been M. itte'’s warm supporter, has had an audience with the Emperor. To that ex- nly the matter may be regarded as settled, nothing being certain in Russia, as a prominent diplomat remarked last night, until the Emperor's signature has | been affixed. M. de Witte's selection undoubtedly will | be hailed as a practical assurance of lieves that the struggle should be ended d should be succeeded by an under- standing between Russia and Japan | which would secure peace in the Far East for half a century. Indeed, he is| ally believed to be in favor of a so-Japanese alliance. The conduct of negotiatlons by M. de Witte, it is felt by the peace party here; would inspire instant coafidence in Japan. The only handicap under which M. de Witte labors is his lack of familiarity h the English language, as the only »ign languages he speaks are German nd French. M. Muravieff’s retirement, ostensibly owing to reasons of ill health, is in reality | due to the fact that the Emperor be- came convinced that the negotiations might be jeopardized if he went to Wash- | ington. M. Muravieff himself, upon con- | sideration, quite frankly recognized his lack of diplomatic training and his want | of acquaintance with the questions in- | volved, and with equal frankness ex- pressed satisfaction that he had been re- lieved. Neither the Washington nor the Tokio Government has yet been officially ad- vised of M. Muravieff'’s withdrawal, the Foreign Office probably preferring to an- nounce the name of his successor at the same time. The change in the chief of the Philippines does not involve any post- ponement of the date of sailing of the peace mission for Washington. & T e EDITORS MAY FIGHT A DUEL. Oukhtomsky Bitterly Arrnlnedl by the Novoe Vremya. ST. PETERSBURG, July 12.—The newspaper criticisms of Muravieff’s fit- ness for the post of peace plenipotenti- ary may result in a duel between M. Skaalkovsky of the Novoe Vremya and Prince Oukhtomsky, editor of the St. Petersburg Viedomosti. The former has not been sparing in his attacks upon Yesterday Prince Oukhtom- sky took Skaalkovsky personally to task In the Viedomosti, whereupon Skaalkovsky assailed Prince Oukhtom- sky in a fashion the Prince can hardly overlook. He sa)3 in so many words that Prince Oukhtomsky is a fool, but re- Prince “While every man has the right to be a fool, he should not abuse the right.” Skaalkovsky proceeds personally to arraign Prince Oukhtomsky for the al- leged subsidies which he receives from the Government, saying: “I am not Prince Oukhtomsky. No- body grieves for me. I have no sine- cures, subsidies orInterests in railroads and fantastic Mongolian gold mines which compel nie, out of gratitude, to compose servile panegyrics.” s veRabt o KRUGER TO BE COURT-MARTIALED. Black Sea Admiral Must Answer to Charge of Incapacity. ST. PETERSBURG, July 12.—The Nashna Sishn says that Admiral Kruger will leave the service on account of al- leged incapecity In connection with his treatment of theé situation created by the mutiny aboard the battieship Knlaz Potemkine at Odessa. : The admiral will be court-martialed. At the Admiralty he is known as one Jf he “court admiral: Admiral Avellan’s “promotion” to the Council of the Empire is definite, as is Admiral Birileff's appointment as Min- ister of Marine. . e — SHOUVALOKFF’'S SLAYER A STUDENT.

Private advices received here from Moscow say that the assassin is a stu- dent and that he made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide after taking the life of his victim. His recent’ arrest was due to his participation in political agitation. Sho AT Y A CHINA’S NOTICE TO THE POWERS. Will Not Recognize the Russo-Japanese Peace Arrangement. PEKING, July 12.—The Chinese Gov- ernment recently notified the Russian, Japanese and other legations that China would refuse to recognize any peace conference in the United States regarding Chinese interests, unless China were consulted. The Japanese replied politely, plain- ly intimating that the notification re- ceived from China would in no wise affect the nlan of action adopted by Japan. No reply has yet been received from Russia. St sl SR GEN. STOESSEL UNDER ARREST. Surrender of Port Arthur Considered to Have Been Unjustifiable. ST. PETERSBURG, July 12.—The Nasha Shisn prints a report that Lieu- tenant General Stoessel has been plac- ed under arrest at Tsarskoe-Selo In consequence of the revelations made by the commission which has been in- vestigating the defense and capitula- tion of Port Arthur, and that the sword of honor donated by a number of French admirers of General Stoessel will not be presented. L R T CREWS RELIEVED OF ARMS. Precautions Taken to Preveant Mutiny on Two Crulsers. REVAL, European Russia, July 12.— Being apprehensive of a mutiny, the authorities here have ordered the sail- ors of the Russian cruisers Minsk and Kreml to be relieved of their arms. Serious discontent has been manifested among the crews of the warships, ow- ing to the quality of the food sup- ply. The officer who is held respon- sible for this state of affairs has been placed under arrest. Qe LT CZAR WILL GO TO MOSCOW. Representatives of the People to Be Summoned om July 19. ST. PETERSBURG, July 12.—The Slovo positively announced that the Emperor will travel to Moscow, where, on July 19, he will issue a proclama- tion summoning the representatives of the people to the Islinsky Palace, Kremlin. Some of the officials of the court already have gone to Moscow to make preparations for the event. R L ARMIES CEASE THEIR STRIFE. Lull at the Front May Be Due to Peace Movement. LONDON, July 13.—The Japanese cor- respondent of the Daily Telegraph at Moji, Japan, discussing the advent of the rainy season in Manchuria, says: “Now is the time for activity, but, from whatever cause, whether in the expectation of the coming downpour or for other reasons, there is a lull at the front.” S it b i Towing the Knias Potemkine.

PETERSBURG EDITOR. DUEL AS THE RESULT OF AN - WORLD NOW EAGER TO LEND TO JAPAN New Loan Heavily Oversubscribed in Europe and America. - NEW YORK, July 12—The subscrip- tion lists for the imperial Japanese Gov- ernment 4% per cent sterling loan, sec- ond series, were cloged by Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the National City Bank and the Na- | tional Bank of Commerce and agents | throughout, the country at the close of business to-day. The bankers had announced that' the | lists, which were opened yesterday, would * be closed on or before July 17. The ap- | plications were so heavy, however, from all parts of the country that it was soon seen that the $50,000,000 of bonds alloted | to the United States had been heavily oversubscribed and it was decided to! limit the taking of subscriptions to a | single day. Following the precedent of the former ! Japanese loans, every effort will be made | to discriminate between speculative and | investment applications and subscribers for small amounts probably will race!ve‘ the full allotment. In the case of the large subseribers, it is probable that the allotments will not exceed 20 or 25 per cent of the amount of the applications. It may be a week or ten days before the allotments are completed. The new bonds were traded in on the curb at 88 and 87%. The issue price is 875-8. The, amount of the New York subscription was not made known. In Germany and Great Britain the loan was oversubscribed ten times. ioiaig Ll CONFIDENCE IN JAPAN. More Than $3,500,000 Is Sebscribed by San Franciscans. | Subscriptions were opened yester- day morr‘n’lns at the Wells-Fargo-Ne- vada National Bank and the Anglo- Californian Bank, Limited, for the sec- | ond issue of the Japanese imperial Government 43% per - cent, sterling, loan which had been secured by the income from the Japanese Government tobacco monopoly. When seen after the subscription list | was closed 1. W. Hellman Jr. said: “The subscriptions were not as large in amount as for the previous loan on account of telegrams being recefved by the local banks from Kuhn, Loeb & Co., the head of the American syndicate, that subscriptions must be closed at the close of banking hours.” In spite of this fact the San Fran- eisco subscriptions amounted to over $8,500,000, which, considering the fact that many of the wealthy people are out of town this season of the year and that the books were only open for five | hours, is a remarkably large amount for one y’s subscriptions for a city the size of San Franeisco. ¥ £ Mg MG CZAR’S GREAT NAVAL PLANS. Complete Reorganisation and " Eradication of Evils. ST. PETERSBURG, nouncement of the appointment of Vice Admiral Birileff as Minister of Marine in succession to Admiral Avellan, which is gazetted this morning, is coupled with a | highly significant rescript In which the I stress of wdr; to remedy the conditions | fo) ving furnished “‘the recent mutinies in the o5 is instructed to eradicate the |the case of which have developed under the | dlcted with cation and technical training on the part of the officers, and instructs Admiral Birileff to instill a love of the profes- sion and an esprit de corps among the younger officers by voyages to foreign ports. The rescript declares that coast defense is the first and most sacred duty of the Ministry of Marine, coming before the construction of a new navy. Speaking of the ‘revolting events in the Black Sea,” the Emperor holds the officers and men of the fleet equally culpable, declaring t.at these events dis- played a complete lack of discipline among the crews an. neglect of duty on the part of the officers. The Emperor insists on a full and careful investiga- tion of the mutinties among the sailors of the Black Sea fleet, and that the most severe punishment be meted out to the guilty ones. By the Emperor’s rescript, not usually issued on the appointment of a Minister, Admiral Birileff becomes the first full Mjnister of the Russian navy, reporting directly to the Emreror. His predeces- sor held only an acting warrant under the Grand Ducal Chief. St CZAR TRICKS HIS PEOPLE. Popular Assembly to Be Based Upon Class Representation. ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.—Accord- ing to a statement current here last night there has been another radical change in the programme for a na< tional assembly, which will involve the supersession of the whole of Minister of the Interior Bouligan’s project by one based distinctly upon class repre- sentation, a system against which the Moscow Zemstvo Congress took a stand. A This new project, it is said, will be considered by the Council of Ministers under the presidency of the Emperor, reinforced by the Grand Dukes and a number of high court officials. The Emperor’s conversion to the class rep- resentation project is attributed to the influence and party leadership of the landed nobility. Despite the popular idea here, as well as abroad, that Russia is ruled by the bureaucracy, it is nearer the truth to say that she is ruled by a small oli- garchy of Grand Dukes and about thir- ty great noble families who have ac- cess to the court and who make the bureaucracy their tool. With class in- stead of general representation they would control not only the members of the nobility, who are extensive land owners, but also the peasants who live on their estates, and thus buttressed the bureaucracy will have to protect its own interests. | eighteen months | ready The Emperor himself is the largest land owner, owning more land than all July 18.—The an- the peasants of European Russia and more than 350 palaces. —_———— MAN WHO HELPED TRACEY IS CONVICTED OF MURDER 'SALEM, Or., July 12.—The jury in Charles Monte, jointly fn- for murder Harry it convicts Harry READY TO- MAKE DASH FOR POLE [Peary Collects $35,000 More and Announces Intention of Sailing This Week TO BE WELL EQUIPPED Expedition That Goes North on New Ship Roosevelt Will Have Cost $150,000 ol SO F WS NEW YORK, July 12.—With $35,000 sub- scribed to-day toward his expedition to reach the North Pole, Robert E. Peary announced that he will sail this week for the north. Commander Peary’s new arc- tic ship, the Roosevelt, has been walting days for supplies, which could not be bought on account of a lack of funds. The polar expedition which has been in preparation since October 15, 1304, has cost $150,000, incldding to-day’s subserip- tions. The entire amount has been given by American business men to the Peary Arctic Club, whose members are anxious that none but Americans have a hand in this polar expedition. Morris K. Jessup, president of the club, subscribed $25,000, and Thomas Hubbard to-day gave a check for $10,000. Hubbard also offered to join with any other “be- liever” in the North Pole expedition in putting $25,000 into a fund to be divided among the members of the Peary party in case they succeeded in reaching the pole and returning to New York within after their departure from here. In announcing that his ship is at last Commander Peary to-day made public for the first time a donation of $50,000 given by George Crocker in Janu- ary last. Mrs. Peary will probably sail with the expedition. From here the Roosevelt will proceed to Sydney, Cape Breton, where the New York crew will give dp the ship to a picked crew, which is already wait- ing on the Erik, a coal ship, which will accompany the Roosevelt to latitude T79. The Erik will then return south, bring- ing Mrs. Peary with her. LACK OF BEAUTY LEADS TO SUICIDE Woman’s Mind Deranged by Brooding Over Plainness of Feature. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. ELIZABETH, N. J,, July 12.—Miss Mathilde King, daughter of the late Colonel Rufus King, committed suicide at the home of her aunt, Mrs. D. P. Thomas, last night by severing an ar- tery in her wrist and turning on the gas in the bathroom, where she was found dead. It was, reported last night that she had dropped dead. She was 35 years old. It is said that she became deranged through brooding over the fact that she was not a beautiful woman. She had often been heard to exclaim as she looked in the mirror: “Oh, why am I not good-looking like other girls!” Miss King and her relatives moved in exclusive society throughout the State. —_—————— TEN PERISH FROM HEAT DURING DAY IN NEW YORK Threescore Prostrated and Several Otliers Driven Insane by Torrid Wave. NEW YORK, July 12.—Undiminished heat and humidity marked the fifth day of the torrid wave that has visited New York and there is no immediate pros- pect of relief. Ten deaths and nearly threescore of prostrations was the rec- ord for the day. At noon the mercury stood officially at 87 degrees, the high- est point of the day. It was much warmer than this on the streets. Some of the victims of the heat were rendered insane by their suffering. In Brooklyn Daniel McCarthy sought re- lief by drinking carbolic acid and died immediately. Jerry Lane, a coal passer, went mad in the boiler-room and at- tempted to brain a comrade with a pitcher from which they had been drinking ice water. PHILADELPHIA, July 12.—Six deaths and more than a score of prostrations, due to the high temperature of the last five days, were reported In this city to- day by the police. NEW YORK, July 12.—Millions of gallons of water are used in Brooklyn and not paid for annually. but 1t has been discovered that since the first of the year there has been a leal of water amounting to 3.000,000,000 gallons, worth $787,772, and at the present rate of monthly increase there will be a shortage of another similar amount by the end of the year. WHOLESHE NURDER BLACK M TR NS Negro Stowaway Slays Crew and All but One of Pas- sengers on a Schooner Off the Honduran Coast L MOTHER AND CHIL AMONG THE VICTIMS One Woman Escapes, Reaches Land and Gives Informa- tion Which Leads to Cap- ture . of Colored Fiend _— NEW ORLEANS, July 12.—A shocking story of murder, with robbery as the mo- tive, was brought to this city to-day by Captain Hans Holm of the Norweglan fruit steamer Bratten, which plies be- tween New Orleans and Honduras ports. It was separately confirmed by the of- ficers of the fruit steamer Rosina, which came in later in the evening with addi~ tional detalls. The little island of Utllla, Iying off the Honduran coast and whose population is an indiscriminate mixture of whites, caymanites and caribs, was the scene of the tragedy in which twelve lives were sacrificed. The captain of the schooner Olympia was about to make a trip to Ruatan, Truxillo and Belize. She had about 1400 sols and was to buy cattle at Truxillo to sell at Belize. She carried a crew of four and quits a num-~ ber of passengers, making the total list of people aboard number thirteen. Among these were two women and two children. The vessel left the harbor of Utilla at 11 o'clock Friday night, June 30, and after she had been under way less than an hour everybody was aroused by a shot and rushing on deck found a negro armed with a rifle shooting down the men one after another. This negro was Robert McGill, and as it afterward developed, he had stowed away on board with the intention of robbing the captain and then swimming ashore. After he had killed all but cne of the men he ordered the last survivor to go below and scuttle the ship. When the unfortunate reappeared on deck and reported, the negro shot him dead. He then put the two women, Miss Elsle Morgan and her sister, Mrs. Walter Rose, In the dory with Mrs. Rose’s six weeks’ old infant, steering for the mainland. He changed his mind about allowing the women to live, and killed Mrs. Rose and her infant. Then he began shooting at Miss Morgan, who had leaped overboard, and wounded her in the arm. He fired at her ineffectually, but his ammunition evidently gave out, for he promised immunity from harm if she would come back to the dory. She started back and when withim an oar's length he struck her on the head with an gar, stunning her. Belleving she was dead, he rowed away toward the main- land. Miss Morgan swam back to the island, where she was thrown on the beach by the waves in an exhausted con- dition. She fegred that the negro would follow her, he hid in the bushes, and for two days suffered from the heat and exposure until found by a woman from her neighborhood and rescued from star- vation. In the meantime the dory had been washed ashore, and there was great excitement on the island, as It was be- lieved the Olympia had gone down with all hands. When Miss Morgan told her story an immediate search was instituted for McGill and the authorities on the mainland were .notified. They caught him at Elporvenir, a little town on the road to Ceibe, and there was a demon- stration, but he was protected and his life was saved through the presence on the coast of President Bonilla, who was on an inspection tour. The Honduran the people will take the case into their own hands.
