In Diplomatic Circles Regarding the Kill-
ing of Japanese Poachers.
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.—Neither the
state department nor the Japanese em-
bassy received any dispatches today con-
cerning the killing of the Japanese seal
poachers in Alaskan w’aters, and until the
official reports of the killing are at the
disposal of both governments, it is not
likely there wTl be an diplomatic devel-
opments in the case?
It is believed by the state department
officials that the facts will be full devel-
oped by the Federal court which ;s trying
the prisoners taken by the agents of the
department of commerce and labor. The
opinion is still generally held in the state
department that the killing of the poach-
ers will not result in any unpleasant in-
ternational complications.

Tug Boat Hands Have Struck and
Tie-up is the Result.
By Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 9.—A strike of several
hundred deck hands, oilers and firemen
on the railroad tug boats in this harbor
has badly tied-up the railroad tug boat
fleet today. This in turn, prevented the
movement of a large amount of freight
from the railroad terminals in Jersey City
to this city.
Should the strike be prolonged it is ex-
pected that hundreds of carloads of food
supplies for this city will be tled-up, as
a large percentage of it is lightered to this
city by the railroad tugs towing.
MOVING PICTURES IN NAVY.
Galveston will doubtless be visited m
the near future by a ship of the United
States navy which carries moving pic-
ture machines for the purpose of showing
scenes on American warships and other-
wise interesting men who may be induced
to join the navy.
The department recently decided to
adopt the moving picture feature and, m
consequence, an expedition has been sent
■ out from New York on the steamer Wol-
verine and will make a. tour of every
American port. The machines were first
. operated at the navy yard at Brooklyn
, and met with much success, as those who
have never been to sea nor engaged in a
battle have the scenes brought before
their eyes in a manner calculated to work
up patriotism in a pine log. The result
is they enlist right there and are started
off to their appointments, which is usual-
ly made with training ships and vessels
belonging to the navy.
The United States navy department
does not attempt to hide the fact that,
men are pretty hard to get during these
times of peace and prosperity, and the
number of available voung men, who are
most desired in the ranks of the fighters
on the American man-of-war, are indeed
scarce.
The recruiting expedition with the mov-
ing'picture apparatus is at present in tne
great lake region, but they expect to
soon turn down the Atlantic coast, enter-
ing the Gulf of Mexico.

BRIGHT INDICATIONS.
By Associated Press.
New Orleans, La., Aug. 9.—Owing to the
continued favorable reports of the
mg crop, indicating an exceptional yield,
the liquidation of longs continued in the
cotton market today resulting in the break
approximately of 15 points throughout the
option list. The attendance around the
ring is large and there is unusual interest
in the market.
The Beach roller rink will have a grace-
ful couple contest and a couple lace as
the special features for tonight’s enter-
tainment.
Friday night will be the event night of
the week and an excellent entertainment
is being arranged for this occasion. Apos-
tle and Donovant will contest.for a mile,
and as the latter claims to be the fastest
thing on skates, hereabouts the
.promises to be exciting.
After several weeks’ preparation and
training it has been decided to pull off
an' Ooloo race Friday night. The expert
Ooloo performer says that owing- to the
Beach ring being free from posts this
contest can be pulled off here and he has
patiently trained a half dozen swift skat-,
ers for the event which will be its intro-
duction in the rinks of this section of the
country.
A barrel rolling race for men will be
other novel feature for Friday night and
four or five sure-footed skaters will

Alexain’er Nesbitt from gett-Ihgi 'fhe ballot
boxes wh’ch Judge Lindsey' hta'd ordered
him to bring into court, were fined $25
each. These fines were pair.
The ballot boxes wanted were delive-ed
to the sheriff yesterday, after Justice Bai-
ley the 'supreme court refused to interfere
with the proceedings in the county court.
The ballot boxes were opened and the bal-
lots examined.
It is announced that a charter will be
applied for in a few days and a comapny
organized to establish and operate a soap
factory in Galveston. Mr. C. S. Higgins,
who is the inventor of certain soap-mak-
ing machinery and the process which is
to be used here,- states that the plan and
detail for disposing qf the stock will be
announced through the press. The men
interested in the project have made a
thorough investigation and found that
every assertion made by Mr. Higgins is
true and that this is the logical location
for a soap manufactory, where only cot-
ton seed oil will be used in the making of
several kinds of soap of the high grade
order. Mr. Higgins, who is a soap maker
of national reputation, owns the process
and machinery for making soap out of
pur© cotton seed oil and does not use tal-
low and other ingredients as do other
manufacturer. This product can be ob-
tained here cheaper than anywhere else,
and as a distributing point Galveston has
many advantages over other places. The
amount of stock for any one subscriber
will be limited. One of the Galvestonians
who had made a personal investigation of
the project and who proposes subscribing
for stock stated to a Tribune representa-
tive that it means a great deal for Gal-
veston and the establishment of a soap
factory here should be given every en-
couragement and support. The Chamber
of Commerce has investigated the matter
and endorses the project. “Why,” said
this prospective stockholder, “the powder
made from the residue of this oil will
bring a fortune if we never sell a cake of
soap, and tons of it are consumed within
a radius of 100 miles from Galveston. The
four great money institutions of modern
times are the packers, breweries, oil in-
terests and soap makers.’*
CRUSH ON BEACH HOTEL.
Mr. W. G. Crush, general passenger
agent of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas,
headquarters at Dallas, is in the city to-
day combining business and pleasure.
Asked about the excursion to Galveston
next Sunday he said that reports were
coming in from points on the line indicat-
ing that there would be an immense gath-
ering of excursionists in Galveston next
Sunday. ’ Mr, Crush is quite enthusiastic
over Galveston and remarked that the rec-
ord of this city since the storm was such
as to command the highest admiration of
the world. When met by a Tribune man
he said that he had not yet seen the
electric park and other beach amusements
but that reports had come to him at Dallas
of the wonders of the beach and from the
descriptions he had received he knew that
Galveston had something worthy of boast-
ing about. Mr. Crush is and always has
been a strong advocate for a beach hotel
and devised a plan which met with the
hearty approval of the late President
Rouse of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas,
who was also a friend of the beach hotel
project. Mr. Crush’s plan was for the
railroads to take stock in the hotel and
to include in the price of railroad tickets
the hotel accommodations for those de-
siring to become guests of the hotel during
their sojourn in Galveston. For instance,
a party coming to spend a few days or
weeks in Galveston from up the country
or from an adjoining state could secure
a schedule or hotel rates at die ticket
office and procure accommodations in ad-
vance when they purchased their tickets.

Lewiston, M®., Aug. 9.—Factional fights
in a majority of the counties and the
starting of threatening independent move-
ments in others render the political situa-
tion in Maine the most puzzling and com-
plex in many years. County, state and
national Issues are involved, and no one is
making any prediction as to the outcome.
To an extent never known before the la-
bor organizations will be factors. Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor is here directing the labor forces.
He is devoting much of his time to the
second congressional district, where Con-
gressman Charles E. Littlefield is being
given the fight of his life for re-electilon.
Opposition to Congressman Littlefield
developed in his own party a few weeks
ago, when many who were dissatisfied
with his conduct in congress brought out
John P. Swasey of Rumford Falls to op-
pose Littlefield for renomination.
In a bitter fight, in which personalities
were freely indulged in by the two fac-
tions of the second district Republicans,
Littlefield won. The Democrxi-ls, taking
advantage of the growing riifpopularity of
Littlefield, nominated Daniel j. McGilli-
cuddy of Lewiston, one of ’&e*"ablest and
best known Democrats^ijii the state, to
oppose him. Many of thfe Swasey Republi-
cans have signified theif'fhtention of sup-
porting McGillicuddy and what they
can to defeat Littlefield. "l;,, ' '
With the nominations gW^sly made,
President Gompers camC Of iston and
in a speech in the Ci:^- hairyder.ounced
Littlefield as a servant pfi thegtrusts and
corporations and against interests.
At that trme Gompers tnr^^fened to come
into the’ second district^a^t^^pose Lit-
tlefield” and advocate McGillicuddy’s can-
didacy.
Littlefield immediately replied to Gom-
pers and told him to “com.e,;’I am ready to
meet you any spot or place in the cam-
paign.” The'challenge having been thrown
back at Gompers, he promptly accepted
and sent his personal representative, Gen-
eral Organizer Stuart Reid, into the sec-
ond district xo arrange for his coming. 'For
two weeks Organizer Reid has been per-
fecting arrangements for a series of Gom-
per’s meetings to be held in this district,
beginning Aug. 18, when Gompers will
speak in the City hall, this city.
Labor meetings have been held in differ-
ent parts of the district, resolutions passed
denouncing Littlefield and general plans
made by the unionists to do everything
possible to defeat Littlefield and elect Mc-
Gillicuddy. J
Mr. McGillicuddy unquestionably is one
of the brightest politicians and most astute
lawyers in Maine. He is known through-
out New England, and, though himself a
lifelong Democrat, he is well thought of
by the Republicans. In 1892 he was a can-
didate for congress against the late Con-
gressman Dingley, and was defeated by
the smallest majority Mr. Dingley ever
received while in congress.
Cyrus W. Davis of Waterville, the Dem-
ocratic candidate for governor, and Mr.
McGillicuddy have been in communication
with William Jennings Bryan, and hope
to secure his services for a few speeches
in the state, and especially in the second
district. .
