RAINS IN MANCHURIA
Hostilities While Spirited Have
Not, Assumed the Stage
of a General En-
gagement.
STILL STEADILY SKIRMISH
Gunshu Pass, June 2C.—Many dis-
patches reaching here through the
official paper, which is edited for the
army, make conditions under which
the proposed peace is to be reached
very Indifferently - understood. In
consequence of the events at Wash-
ington, a military initiative for an
armistice had been expected, but al-
though Generals Linevitch and Kuro-
patkin express the conviction that
Russia is drifting toward peace, no
action looking to an armistice has
yet been taken. On the contrary, the
commanders appear to regret that at
a time when the army has reached
its maximum strength it is likely to
be deprived of victory.
Numerous small bodies of Japan-
ese scouts have appeared in the re-
gions of either Russian flank, and it
is feared that they were intended to
screen the turning operations of the
Japanese, as before the battle of
Mukden.
Chinese report that flanking move-
ments have been already taken, but
the Russian staff denies this. Traders
coming from Bedoun say that the
Japanese are advancing In that di-
rection from Sinmintln.
Russian* Put to Plight
by the Japanese.
St. Petersburg, June 20—Two tel-
egrams received today by Emperor
Nicholas from Lieutenant General
Linevitch are dated June 24 and
June 25, respectively, and refer to
movements of June 21 to June 22.
On the latter date the Japanese at-
tempt to dislodge the Russian oub
posts in the valley of Kao was re-
pulsed, while the Russians in the
Hallunbchen district dislodged the
. Japanese outposts at Nanshancheng
and advanced southward of that
place.
The Russians operating in the di-
rection of tJfanglu retired after un-
masking a considerable force of Jap-
anese. The latter pursued the Rus-
sians agd occupied Yolangtzu in the
Haiiunc'aen district. Tire Japanese
resumed the offensive in the neigh-
borhood of Shimlaotse. continuing a
frontal attack and making an ener-
getic turning movement. The latter
threatened to cut off the Russians,
who consequently retired.
Peace Plenipotentiaries
Are Tentatively Announced.
Washington, June 2C.—Russia has
given reassurance of its intentions In
the peace negotiations by placing the
president in possession of the tenta-
tive selection of her plenipotentiaries,
as follows:
M. Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador
at Paris, and Baron Rosen, the newly
appointed Russian ambassador at
Washington. Russia thug having tak-
en the initiative, it is believed Mr.
TakaMra the Japanese minister, dur-
ing his call at the White House today,
informally told the president that
Japan's selections, also tentative, were
Baron Komura, the Japanese minister
for foreign affairs, and Kogoro Taka-
hlra, the Japanese minister at Wash-
ington.    '
The official announcement of the
names of the plenipotentiaries Is with-
held for several reasons. M. Nelidoff’s
fuealth maj’ not permit him to make
the trip, and the pressure of official
work may necessitate the presence in
Tokio of Baron Koqpura. Mr. Taka-
hira and Baron Rosen are regarded as
certainties, and the belief is that un-
less something unforeseen should oc-
cur both Russia and Japan will con-
sent to the official announcement of
the personnel of the Washington con-
ference within a few days. In any
event both mtsslons will consist of
many advisers, including army and
possibly naval officers and officials
1rom foreign offices in Tokio and St.
Petersburg. It if expected that alto-
gether each mission may number ten
or twelve. Should six plenipoten-
tiaries be chosen, both Russia and
Japan have names under consideration
which will enable them to announce
their third plenipotentiary without
delay.
In recognition of his services dur-
ing th<S preliminary negotiations and
in view of his official rank, t ia be-
lieved that the official announcement
of Mr. Takahiras appointment will
be followed by his elevation to the
rank of ambassador. In view of the
. fact that Japan intends, when the
war is over, to elevate her legations
at Washington, London, Berlin.
Paris. Vienna. St. Petersburg and
Rome to embassies, it* is believed
that Mr. Takahiras elevation would
be permanent.
Rains May Serve the
Purpoee of an Armistice.
The Interest regarding an arml*-
tice has largelr diminished in the
last few days because of the receipt
of information that the rainy aeason
Is beginning In Manchuria It is be-
lieved that this will serve the pur-
poses of an armistice In preventng
a clash before the convening of the
conference Moreover, the Informal
soundings initiated by the president
at Tokio and St. Petersburg djd not
yield much hope for successful nego-
tiations looking to an armistice un-
til after the plenlpotentlariM met.
If Japan is then convinced of the
serious dekire of. Russia for peace
she- will readily consent to an armis-
Uce _ . 1
St. Petersburg, June 26.—Hostilities
in Manchuria have apparently not
reached a stage of general engage-
ment. Dispatches from fiCnh com-
manders indicate there Is steady
skirmishing along the main front,
where minor detachments are fighting
back and forth over practically the
same ground, with no decided advant-
age to either.
"Alt is Going Favorably,”
I* the Official Statement.
St. Petersburg, June 26.—Both
Japan and Russia are now ung^rstood

plenipotentiaries shall meet in Wash-
ington.

ably will be announced by President
Roosevelt.
The actual announcement of the
names of the plenipotentiaries is ex-
pected in a few days.
The official statement of the situa-
tion is: “All is going favorably.”
Washington, June 26.—The presi-
dent has expressed a wish to the Jap-
anese and Russian government^ that
the peace plenipotentiaries meet ih the
United States on the first day of
August and if not on that date, then
at the earliest date thereafter.
The following statement was made
public at the White House today: “The
president has received from both the
Russian and Japanese governments a
statement that plenipotentiaries of the
two countries will meet in the United
States during the first ten days of
August and the .president has ex-
pressed to both governments the wish
that the meeting should take place
if possible on the first of August
and If not that date at the earliest
date thereafter.”
M. Nelidoff, Russian ambassador to
Paris, and Baron Rosen* the new Rus-
sian ambassador to Washington, are
Russia’s tentative selections of pleni-
potentiaries.
Takabira, Japanese minister here,
it is understood, has been selected
by his government, but the name ot
the ranking Japanese envoy cannot
be learned.
Mr. Takahira, Japanese minister,
spent » half hour at the White House
today tn conference with President
Roosevelt. He said he called to bid

tails of the coming peace conference.

Trainmen have made the announce-
ment that there is a strong movement
on foot among the members of tbe
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers

OF CYCLONIC
PROPORTION 8
A Severe Storm Causes
Widespread Havoc in
Greater New
York.
BLOWS43 MILES AN HOUR
Wind Demolishes a Building:
Near the Riverside Drive,
Killing: One and In-
juring’ Two Others.
A DELUGE OF KAIN FALLS
New York, June 26.—A storm of
cyolonic proportions, accompanied by
a terrific deluge of rain, passed over
Harlem and the. Bronx this afternoon,
causing widespread havoc. A build-
ing in course of erection in 136th
street, near Riverside Drive, was de-
molished, John Lawler, a foreman
bricklayer, being crushed to death and
two laborers Injured. The wrecked
building was one of a row of new
apartment houses. Lawler and two
laborers, seeing the storm approach-
ing from the New Jersey shore, start-
ed for the street, and had reached the
first floor when the building col-
lapsed. Abraham Pearlman, of the
firm of Pearlman & Brown, builders
of the house, and Abraham Borderek,
superintendent of contraction, were
later arrested. The 'lower section of
the city experienced only a somewhat
heavy gale with no rain. The wind
reached a velocity of forty-three miles
an hour. Plate glass windows were
shattered and trees and chimneys
were blown dowp. The storm passed
within*fifteen minutes.
HAY IS IMPROVING.
In a Few Day* Will Likely Leave Hie
Room.
Newbury, N. H., June 26.—The con-
dition of Secretary of State John Hay,
who ig confined to bis bed at his sum-
mer home near Lake Sima pee, by an
attack of uraemia, was regarded as
favorable tonight by his physicians.
After a few days of rest it is expect-
ed that the secretary will be able to
leave his room.
An operation was considered at one
time but the physicians, after a care-
ful examination and consultation, de-
cided it would not be necessary. The
attack was due to a chill caught on
the journey from Washington and Is
similar to one Mr. Hay had four years
ago.
The secretary passed a comfortable
afternoon and evening, and his family
considered that there is no need of
further anxiety. Secretary Hay ar-
rived at. his summer home Saturday
night.
SUFFERS A RELAPSE.
Secretary Hay Improve* After Hia
Physician Arrive*.
Newbury, N. H.. .Tune 26.—Dr.
Charles L. Scudder. the Boston spe-
cialist, arrived here on a special
train from Boston during the night
to attend Secretary of State John
Hay, who arrived at his summer
home. Lake Sunapee, on Saturday.
Secretary Hay. who Buffered a sud-
den relapse of his nervous break-
down, grew very much better after
the arrival of the physician and to-
day his condition became so favora-
ble that Dr. Scudder arranged to re-
turn to Boston.
The doctors have given out the
statement that Secretary Hay was
suffering from uremia, caused by
taking cold. If no complications set
tn they declare he will be as well as
ever In a day or two.
HOOD’S BRIGADE REUNION.
Survivor* of tha Tex** Contingent to
Meet at Corsicana.
Corsicana, Texas. June 26.—With
the singing of "Dixie’’ and the dis-
play of tbe Confederate colors the
survivors of Hood’s Texas brigade,
one of the most famous organizations
of the army of the Confederacy, will
assemble In this city tomorrow in
annual reunion. The visitors will be
given a cordial welcome. Mayor
Johnson delivers the official greet-
ing and President Harding delivers
his annual address at the opening
business session. The reunion pro-
gram covers two days and Is largely
made up of social features. Tbe roil
shows that of the 4,000 men com-
prising the brigade In the spring of
1862. there are now fewer than 400
survivors, twelve members having
passed away since the reunion of
last year.
Burma Shuts Out Standard.
London. June 24.—In aplte o< the
large amounts spent in bribes by
agents of tbe Standard Oil company,
the government of Burma has definite-
ly decided to exclude the American
company from the coutltry.
There are large oil wells In the
southern part of Burma which tbe
Rockefeller company has been very
anxious to buy up.
GRANTS RIGHT TO WATER.
Decision Approved by Taft May En-
croach Upon Power* of Congress.
Washington, June 24.—The Judge
advocate general of the army has de-
cided and Secretary Taft has ap-
proved the opinion that the owner
of lands adjoining a dam built by
tbe government for the purpose of
improving the navigation of the river
may have a license to use the water
power created by that dam. provided
the Interests of navigation are not
thereby damaged.
Tbe opinion is of far-reaching im-
portance. Heretofore, congress has
been regarded as the only body bar-
ing power to grant licenses of that'
kind.
The decision is of great interest
ail over the country for the reason
the government is building hundreds
of dams and there are dozens of
companies organized for the purpose
of building dams fpr no other pur-
pose than to develop water power.
Incidentally the dams that are to be
built will improve the navigation on
rivers so dammgjl.
BAD MAN WITH EMPTY GUN.
Former Cowboy on a Spree; Deputy
Sheriff Kill* Him.
Hot Sulphur Springs. Col, June 24.
—General belief here tonight is that
the coroner will exonerate Deputy
Sheriff Charles Gibbs for the killing
of T. H. Wolverton Iasi night. Wolver-
ton, who was on a protracted spree,
stole a gun from an acquaintance and
then wem to a vacant, iot, where he
shot off all the cartridges. Having
disposed of every bit of ammunition
that he had, Wolverton came back to
town and paraded up and down the
streets, sticking the empty gun Into
the face of every person he met, at
the same time making dire threats.
Deputy Sheriff Gibbg was sum-
moned, and warned Wolverton to de-
sist, but Wolverton pointed the gun at
Gibbs, and the deputy sheriff shot him
through the hand. Wiih drunken per-
tinacity, however, Wolverton picked
up the gun, which had fallen from his
wounded hand, and with his loft hand
covered the deputy, who then shot
Wolverton through the heart. No one
knew until after Wolverton was dead
that the gun was empty.
Wolverton was formerly a clerk In
the county treasurer’s office, but had
been a cowboy, ana was playing the
role of bad man whkn he was killed.

tered cases of rioting as a result of

Five policemen were wounded. A de-
tachment of dragoons finally arrived
and dispersed the rioters.
Gloomy Days for the
Government of Russia.
St. Petersburg, Juno 26.—These
are gloomy days for the government
of Russia. Every new dispatch ac-
centuates the seriousness of Ihe sit-
uation in Poland and the Caucasus,
where a state of almost, open war
exists, and reports of strikes, demon-
strations and agrarian disorders are
pouring in from many narts of Rus-
sia proper, as if the volleys fired at
Lodz had been the signal for an out-
break of genera! disorders like those
following tbe events of January 22,
"red Sunday.’’
Up to the present 8t. Petersburg
and Moscow have not been affected,
but if mobilization is to be attempt-
ed In two capitals, as reported, a re-
crudescence of the former tumults is
likely to occur.
Another danger spot Is Georgia
(Russian Trans Oaucgsta), the war-
like inhabitants of which are deeply
incensed over the affront offered to
their clergymen, seventy of whom,
while meeting to discuss the ques-
tion of church and state, were at-
tacked by Cossacks, who dispersed
tbe preachers with knouts. The
priests In their protest against this
action laid their country under an
Interdict like that, pronounced in the
middle ages, by refusing to solem-
nize baptisms, marlages and other
rites of the church until redress
should be given by the whole ortho-
dox church, of which the Georgian
church is a part. There is much dis-
cussion of the Incident, and the beat-
ing of the priests has caused wide
indignation.
The situation offers a crucial test
of the ability of General Trepoff and
tbe new police minister is on trial
before Russia to justify his selection
for so responsible a position.
Tbe present trouble is all the more
sudden ami the more unexpected,
coming on the heels of the good Im-
pression produced by the emperor's
reception of the zemslvolsts and bis
promise to consider their grievances
and to give the country a national
assembly as rapidly as possible.
A dispatch from Erlvan reports a
new and alarming feature of the sit-
uation in Caucasus in tbe desire of
tbe Persian Mohammedans to join
their brethren across the border,
which juncture would convert a ra-
cial strike into a "holy war,” ami
kindle a flame.which would devas-
tate the southern Caucasus and be I
extinguished only by streams of
blood.
St. Petersburg, June 26.—The rad
flog of revolt has been raised at War-
saw, Kovno, and other places In Rus-
sian Poland, out of sympathy with the
victims of the rioting at Lodz and so
far as these cities are concerned the
situation almost approaches the dig-
nity of open rebellion.
News received at St. Petersburg Is
meager on account of the vigorous
censorship, but it is evident that the
troops are being resisted, and a repe-
tition of the sanguinary encounters at
lx>dz is anticipated.
Three big socialistic parties In Rus-
sian Poland are well organized and
have some arms, bin the authorities
claim they have no chance to succeed
single-handed.
The main danger lies In its spread
to the socialistic organizations in
other parts of Russia, with which
those In Russian Poland are closely
allied.
In the meantime the Caucasus Is
aflame with insurrection on a big
scale. Mussulmans are actually be-
sieging the Armenians In some towus.
