French Press Urges Japan to Heed the Words of De Witte. PARIS, July 20.—M. de Witte, who afternoon, will be received soon after- ward by President Loubet. The inter- | view of Monday with De Witte con- tinues to be one of the chief subjects of discussion among officials and diplomats and in the pewspapers. The Temps (semi-official) @evotes a column leading | article to it to-night, pointing out the importance of the Russian statesman's declarations. The Temps says De Witte's statement was most important in recalling that he was a partisan of peace even before the war was begun— | not a mere retrospective partisan—and because of this he is now in a better po- | sition to restore peace than one who as- sisted in the rupture. “Metgeover,” continues the Temps, “M. de Witte's statement, shows that war was not inevitable ag@l that the observ- | ance of the wise counsels of M. de Witts | might have averted war. This, how- ever, does not mean that M. de Witte is | resigned to make more cruel sac than anhy other negotiator, as he is un- | able to make concessions beyond a point | which the Emperor himself has fixed. “It is no ‘bluff’ that M. de Witte so | fully develops in his declarations to the Asociated Press. The Japanese should take good account of M. de Witte's stat. | of mind. Russia, despite her losses, is {far from being crushed. It would, therefore, be absurd for Japan to at- tempt to impose extreme conditions, | and, if exigencies force her to demand | humillating terms, then the success of the peace negotiations is irredeemably | compromised.” e PRIZE CREW CA PTURED.

A delezate from Tver, Central Russia, maintained that the resolution was not strong enough, and it was finally referred to a committee to be redrafted. Later an amended resolution was pre- rented and passed. It likewise protests against the constant violation of the pri- vate and social rights of Russian citizens by administrative officials and calls upon all local officials to protect the sufferers from the present state of affairs and to assist in preventing {llegal and arbitrary acts by the authorities. The scheme for a constitution, as elaborated by a committee of the Con- gress, was next discussed and the details criticized by the delegates. The chief points raired were the omission of ade- quate proportionate representation -and the non-recognition of female suffrage.

The Congress refected a pro- posal that, after the re-examination of the project, the Zemstvos organize a general petition thereupon to the Em- peror. M.

It was obvious, he sald, that the bar separating the Emperor and the people was too strong, and that they could not count on reforms from above. They had appealed to the Emperor and they should now apbpeal to the people. Prince Rostkovski said that the speech of M. Petrunkevitch was a direct incite- ment to a revolutfon and left the hall. Prince Dolgorukoff repudiated Prince Rostkovski's construction of M. Petrun- kevitch’'s speech, which, he said, only echoed what had been set forth in the memorandum presented by the marshals of the nobility to the Emperor. gl e MOVING UPON VLADIVOSTOK.

The procur- i Perjury Is Not Extradit- COLLINS MAKES A HARD FICHT Asserts He Will Show That able Offense Under Treaty | URGES TECHNICALI’I“'IES Alleged Bigamist Loses a Point in Effort to Have| Warrant Declared Invalid . —_——— VICTORIA, B. C, July 2.—George D. Collins, who began his fight against ex- tradition to-day to San Franciseo for perjury before Judge Lampman, said he | intended to question the extradition treaty between the United States and Canada, | holding that by it perjury cannot be held | to be an extraditable offense. He said he understood witnesses were to be | brought from San Francisco, but as he and his counsel proposed to show the authorities that the charges of perjury as laid against him could not be proven under the laws of Canada, as it must be to secure his extradition their presence | would be unnetessary. He claimed that the Ashburton treaty omits perjury in its list of extraditabie crimes. | His contention involves the validity of | the treaty of 1886. He would also show | that the new treaty of 1890, in which per- jury was mentioned for the first time | as an extraditable offense, was not cap- able of being enfo:rced, as no legislation | was made to put it into éffect. His conten- tion woulu involve the presentation of a | large number of authorities, he having come into court with his arms laden + | other with books. Previous to this statement by Collins, several hours had been spent in arguing objections, most on technicali- ties, by Collins and his counsel, Collins fighting each point tooth and nail, ad- mjtting nothing. In opening the case | | Attorney Riggins for the San Francisco | police applied to amend the information ; upon which the warrant for Collins’ ar- | rest was made, making it in keeping with | informations and the warrant brought from San Francisco by Detective Gibson for Collias, and his counsel ob-| jected strongly, though without result. Collins objected strenuously to the ad- missign of the warrant issued by District | | brought by Detective Gibson, claiming it | was not properly certified. He held a certificate should have accompanied it, verified by the Secrctary of State, and | advanced in support a’ case in which a similar objection was made and the Judge | then held the document in qyuestion had | to be certified by the Secretary of State Embassador. He held that the warrant was not admissible. Higgins said he | would properly verify the document he | presented with the necessary evidence. | Further argument was proceeding when E the court suggested the docyments be put |in evidence subject to objection and de- cieion thereon given later. Detective Gibson was éxamined and he swore that the warrant produced by him was the original one and duly authenti- cated. He swore to the signatures of the clerk of the San Franeisco court thereon by his deputy. He also identified Collins. Higgins then produced the certi- ficate of the California State Secretary authenticating the documents which bore the California seal. Colling objected to each document. After citing the nature of the charge against Collins, Higgins went on to read the deposition which set forth that Col- |line had intermarried with Charlotta | Newman and that his statements sworn | to in denial of the maintenance action Attorney Byington of San Francisco and\} | ana his signature certified by the British | AY, JULY 21, 1905 STRIKERS CIVE UP THE FICHT Chicago Drivers Surrender Unconditionally After =« Three Months’ Struggle “OPEN SHOP” PREVAILS EmployerstoGive Non-Union Men First Call in Fill- ing the Existing Vacancies o oy CHICAGO, July 20.—The teamsters’ strike, which kas so greatly disturbed business conditions in this city for the last 105 days was, at midnight to- night officially declare.d oft by the mem- bers of the Teamsters’ Joint Council.

Three of the unfons had alrcady voted to return to work, and it was certain that the ons which had not yet voted on the question of ending the strike would take sim- ilar action. The coun believing that further effort was uscless, decided. to call off the strike at once. The first break in the ranks of the strikers came this afternoon, when the lumber teamsters voted to return to work, regardless of what action might be taken by any other union. To-night the department store drivers and the railway express drivers voted to call off the strike and seek their old positions in the morning."

The express companjes have declared all through the strike, however, that not one of the men who struck would ever be reinstated. To-morrow the truck drivers and one or two smaller unions will vote oen the question of calling off the strike, and there is no doubt that they will decide to seek their old places. The officlals of the teamsters’ union declare that they expect such action to be taken. The only concession that the men have gained by going back to work is, In the case of the lumber drivers, the right to wear the union button. In tne case of all other unions the men, by seeking their old places, tacitly agree to the terms of the employers, which ‘were that only such men would be taken back as were needed after the non- union men had been provided for, and that the question of wearing the union buttons should be left to the decision of the individual employer. ———————— Navy Yard Foreman Disnissed.
