FOOD SI FPLY MAY CAUSE FRICTION
America Is Watenlna; Efforts to De
fine Contraband of War.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Ofnclal here
ra apprehensive that friction may follow
the efforts of belligerents to define contra
band of war In a manner Injurious to
American trade. While the matter has not
yet been treated In the negotiations had
with Russia and Japan on the one side and
the United Btates on the other, there Is
reason (d believe that some of the Euro
pean power already have been confronted
with threatened restrictions upon their
trade, sfhlch they are disposed to resist.
A vast quantity of American foodstuff
la now afloat destined for both Russia and
Japan and It Is probable that the question
will be -very speedily raised as to whether
or not the supplies are rontraband of war.
The United States has In recent years In
sisted that foodstuffs were not contraband
and could not be seised by a belligerent
unless It were shown that the goods were
consigned to or clearly Intended for a bel
ligerent. This principal was recognised by
the British government during the Trans,
vaal war and the courts awarded consid
erable sum's of money to American shippers
for food seised by British warships.
The State department has heard nothing
whatever from United States Consul Miller
at New Chwang touching the troubles he
has had with the Russian officials In en
deavoring to carry out the department's
Instructions to look after Japanese Inter
ests at that port. It Is said that if these
officials are supported by their government
In obstructing the. American consul In. the
discharge of this humgne duty the depart
ment can do nothing further.
The State department has learned
through Mr. Emery, the vice and deputy
consul at Che Foo, that the Russian gov
ernment hag undertaken the transportation
of the Japanese refugees who were at New
Chwang or were hound for that port from
Interior Manchuria ta Port Arthur and
Dalny. Consul Miller is thus deprived of
an opportunity to extend protection to more
than a very few remaining Japanese. Th
purpose of the Russian government in mak-

Ing this move Is said to be to prevent Japa-
nese leaving Mancnuria witn news oi ine
conditions of the defenses of the towns In
military occupation by the Russians. It Is
understood that New Chwang and the line
of railroad connecting It with Harbin on
the north and Port Arthur to the south
are especial objects of solicitude, as thero
are still many weak spots In the scheme
of defense which the Russians desire to
conceal.
The samo desire to prevent Information
leaking out respecting what Is going on In
Manchuria Is said to be back of the Rus
sian refusal to receive Edwin Morgan as
United States consul at Dalny, Mr. Mor
gan la to sail next Friday from San Fran
rlsco for the east and will remain at
Shanghai until It Is determined, by the
course of events, whether he may proceed

SI.OW RAILROADS MENACE Rt SSIA.
Military Organ Advises Japanese to
strike. Heart of Manehnrla.
BERLIN. Feb. 22.-The Militar Wochen
blatt, the organ of - th German general
staff, has published an article discussing
Russia's prospects of reinforcing her army
In East Asia. The paper takes a pessi
mistic view 6f th capacity of the trans,
siberlan railroad, and especially of the
Section crossing Lake Baikal, where It
says the difficulties to be overcome are
enormous. The limited capacity- of the line
Is sold to b a much more serious matter
than .the . threatened da moos t it by na-
t VM ....... .
Th paper estimates the .present troop-
moving capacity of the railroad from Rus
sia's experience of last summer In moving
two brigade to Tschlta, cast of Lake
Baikal, which was only accomplished at
the rata of eight and a half miles an
hour. At this rate It would take thirty
six days to convey 26,000 men from the
Ural mountains to Mukden or Vladivo
stok. The paper assumes the present strength
of the Russian army In eastern Asia to
be 158,761 men, and upon the foregoing es
timate of the time required to move troops,
It declares It will take until April 20 for
Russia to raise the strength o her east
Asiatic army to 133,000 men.
The Mllltar Wochenblatt Is of the opin
ion that the easiest thing for Japan to
do to compel Russia to abandon Manchuria
Is to strike at the center of th country,
or, In other words. Concentrate tr ' forces'
against Harbin. ."' -

ICED STRONGER JIAVV I FAR EAST.
Brents Moving So Rapidly la Orient
aid Kmercenrles May Arise.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-Naval officials
are considering earnestly the strengthening
of the American Asiatic fleet In view of the
vast Interests of this country In the Phil
ippines and In China and Corea and the
probability that disturbances may necessi
tate their protection at any time. At the
same time that the fleet Is regarded as too
small there Is a desire to avoid exciting the
suspicion of the old world powers lest this
government may be put In the false light
of Interfering In the eastern struggle. A
high naval officer tonight said:
The need of Increasing- the Asiatic fleet
has long been felt. It was Intended that
the new battleship Ohio, building at San
Francisco, should be sent to the Asiatic
station in the spring and that It should
be followed there by the armored cruiser
South LhUtota and the protected cruiser
Milwaukee a soon as these vessels are
completed. The Ohio will not be ready
before autumn and we Hre considering the
disat('h of another battleship. It has been
suggested that the Iowa be selected for
this mission, but no decision has been
reached. It is now receiving rush repairs
at the New York navy yard.
In addition the Tacoma is tentatively se
lected to go to Asia as the relief of one
of the vessels of the cruiser squadron, but
under present circumstances It Is believed
that none of the cruiser squadron will
be brought home, however many ships are
added to It. It also has been suggested
that the New York, now at Panama, be
returned to the Asiatic station and that
It make the cruise with the Tacoma.
This Is understood snd the uncertainty of
the Panama situation together with the
fact that the New York Is due for a
thorough overhauling rather militates
against sending that vessel to Join Admiral
Kvans.
So rapidly are events moving In the
east that it Is Impossible to say what
move In the Asiatic station the next day's
developments will demand. It was
, , ,, .ueaested that the battleship
squadron go up to Che Foo, but this was
not approved snd an order was tssued for
the battleships to remain In Philippine
waters and for the cruiser squadron to
assemble at Pnnnghal. Repairs to the
valves of the Kentucky, the flsgsl'ln of
the Asiatic station, however. vnv r--e-sitated
the sending of that ship to Hnng
Kong to be docked, and It is proname me
other ships of the squadron, the battle
ships Oregon and Wisconsin, will accom
pany 1t. Meantime, the cruisers will be
used to keen In communication with our
agents at New Chwang, Che Foo, Che
mulpo and Seoul.
Rear Admiral Evans has cabled the
navy department expressing a wish to
remain In the far cast for the present, In
the evept that the Kentucky Is not to be
brought home when repaired. He feels
that the situation is extremely Important
out there and for this reason offers to
remain, although his time of sea duty Is
up next month, and the plan Is for htm
to return to New York In his flagship.
The department has cabled him, leaving
the matter entirely to his own Judgment
and the announcement was made tonight
by a high official that the department had
every confidence In Admiral Evans' de
cision. LOCATION OF AMERICAN VESSELS.
A Far a Possible They Are Taken
from War Zone.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The battleship
Kentucky; flagship of the American Asiatic
fleet, has been ordered to Hong Kong,
where it Will be docked for the purpose of
making minor repairs. It is regarded as
probable that Admiral Evan will hav the
remainder of th battleship squadron ac
company him to Hong Kong, although he
has not advised the department . to this
effect .
It la not intended at present that th
battleships. shall go no further north. .The
double turreted monitors Monadnock and
Monterey, also a part of the battleship
squadron, are at Shanghai and Canton,
China, respectively. The cruiser New Or
leans and the gunboat Wilmington have
been recalled from Che roe lest their pres
ence there might be resented by one of the
belligerents and are on their way to Shang
hai, where the Raleigh Is awaiting the ar
rival of the remainder of the cruiser
squadron. The cruiser Cincinnati is In
Philippine waters under orders for Shang
hai and the San Francisco reported Satur
day at Bombay, India, on Its way to Chi
nese waters.
Rear Admiral Evan has distributed the
gunboat division which Is attached to the
battleship squadron as follows:
The Callao was last reported at Canton,
the El Caney at Nanking, th Helena In
mud dock at Nluchwang, th Vlcksburg at
Chemulpo, Corea, and the VUlalobo at
Hankow. Of the Philippine squadron of

to War Secretary.
MEETS OLD NEIGHBORS AND TRIENDS
Reviews situation In the Philippine
Archipelago and Hays It Is the
Coantry for Edacated
Young Men.
CINCINNATI. Feb. 22. Secretary of War
W."H. Tsft has been the guest here of his
brother, Hon. Charles P. Taft, proprietor of
the Times-Star, since .h attended the
Hanna obsequies at Cluvelnnd last Friday.
During that time he has been the guest
of honor at a series of receptions, includ
ing social functions at the residence of
Charles P. Taft and a public reception at
the Royal Legion State headquarters this
afternoon. The closing event before Sec
retary Taft returns to Washington tomor
row was a complimentary dinner given at
the United 8tates hotel, at which 260 plates
were laid nnd the floral and general ap
pointments were elaborate.
Following this meeting Secretary Taft
met many neighbors and lifelong friends.
AH the occasions were nonpartisan and
especially the brilliant banquet tonight, at
which Edward Colston, a one-armed confed
erate and leading democratic attorney, was
toastmaster,, while the leading address was
by Judge Judson Harmon, attorney general
In the Cleveland administration. Among
the other responses were those of Mayor
Julius Flelschmann. Hon. W. B. Mellsh
of the Cincinnati water works commission
and General Michael Ryan, who was United
States subtreasurer at Clnolnnatl tinder
the Cleveland administration and quarter
master general under the democratic ad
ministration of Governor Hoadley.
While Secretary Taft referred to the
complimentary references of all who pre
ceded him, he gave special attention to the
remarks of Judge Harmon. When Harmon
resigned as superior Judge sixteen yenrs
ago Secretary Taft was appointed by Gov
ernor Foraker to the vacancy and after
ward by President Harrison as Judgo of
the United States court of appeals. Ho re
viewed the pleasant associations of over
a decade In those capacities with the
speakers who had preceded him snd the
Cincinnati attorneys, who were' so largely
represented on this occasion. Judge Har
mon being an expansionist, he showed how
lifelong personal friends honestly differ
on matters of publio policy.
He predicted a great future not only for
the archipelago, but also for this country
In the trade relations that are yet In In
fancy. Little American capital ha yet
been invested there, the Manila railway
being the chief Investment. He insisted
that the opportunity for American capital
and for young men of education was great
in the Philippines and predicted that all
would bo surprised fit tho exhibits of the
Philippine exhibit at the St. Louis fair.
CONFLICT OVER IRRIGATION
Wyoming? Officials Deny They Ara
Ilamperina; the Govern
ment Project.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb, C (Special.)
So much has been said and written about
the Shoshone Irrigation project, which the
general government proposes to construct,
and the alleged conflict between the state
authorities and the reclamation bureau,
your correspondent has investigated the
matter carefully and has obtained the fol
lowing statement of the facts from a lead
ing state official: 1
"In the first placn, sold the official.
"there Is no oonflict, nor lr, there liable
to be. The tract proposed to be Irrigated
by the government has been segregated
to the state under the provisions of the
Carey act. Cody & Salisbury defrayed the
expenses of the clglnal survey and
planned to reclaim the tract of HO.000 acres
some years ago. Owing t deh.y In se
curing the necessary capital and entering
into a contract with the state for the con
struction of Irrigation works, but little
actual work has been accomplished. A
temporary title to the land therefore re
mains In the state.
"Colonel Cody wa recently Induced to
withdraw In hopes that the government
would proceed and build the necessary
canals and reservoirs. Whatever right
he may have potsessed he has relinquished
to the state and not to the general gov
ernment as has been reported In Washing,
ton dispatches. This relinquishment Is
now In the governor's office together with
the permit for water.
"Another and larger project, the Oregon
Basin proposition, proposing to divert wa
ter from the Shoshone river, Is - now
planned under the provisions of the Carey
act. The secretary of the Interior has re
cently Instituted a practice of referring all
prcjects under the Carey act to Mr. Newell,
chief of the reclamation service. Mr.
Newell has the power to stop progress
under any project he so desires. He has
reported unfavorably on one of the land
lists In the Oregon Basin segregation. This
report went to the commissioner of the
general land office and from there to the
State Land Board of Wyoming. The Land
Board ha complied with ell of the re
quirements set forth In the letter from
the commissioner of the general land
office and has returned th list of lands
for final action. All that the State Land
Board asks Is that the reclamation service
approve th Oregon Basin project. Final
approval rests with the general land office
and with the secretary of the Interior.
"Owing to the misunderstanding and un
certainties which seem to exist Thos. T.
Tynan, secretary of the State Land Board,
has gone to Washington to confer with
the officers of the Interior department, and
It Is believed that a speedy settlement will
be reached and that both projects will b
carried to early completion.
'Contrary to the general Impression,
there Is enough water In th Shoshone, It
properly stored and used, to thoroughly re
claim all of the land proposed to be Irri
gated by both propositions."

every day practical workings thereof are
revolutionary and subversive of the rights
of liilmr and of the employers of lubor
and of the laws of the lnnd, above nil,
they are destructive of tho rights and lib
erties of the great body of the people. Irre
spective of their affiliation with unionism
or with employers of labor.
Resolved further. That the executive
dltlnii of anarchy and contempt for law
and th constituted authorities brought1
shout by tho lawless leaders nnd members
of the labor unions has forced utiort the
ponce-lovlng cltliens of the United States
the necessity of demanding th'it the ivimes
anil wherenbouts of those law breakers
who practice Intimidation. boycotting,
picketing, destruction of property, and who
commit assaults upon their fellow labor
ers or commit other crimes in the name
of labor be made known for the piotec
tlon of nil law abiding people and fr the
best Interest of labor Itself nnd to the end
that Justice may be meted out.
Resolved further, That th executive
committee Is hcroby directed to take the
necessary steps to ascertain the Identity
of such person and obtain full Informa
tion In connection therewith, and that a
report of the same be made to each or
ganisation holding membership In this as
sociation. Mr. C. W. Post of Battle Creek. Mich.,
a member of the executive committee of
the Cltliens Industrial association, talked
today on the objects and alms of the asso
ciation. He said:
The anti-Injunction bill was Introduced
and Is being pressed utnm congress by an
element that has at henrt the destruction
of the laws of this country. The people
of the country have established the court
and the law. A few men now come In
and seek to overthrow these, thus produc
ing a condition of practical anarchy where
no law exists. This Is as dangerous to
the ordinary workman who owns his own
home and expects protection for his family
as it Is for the manufacturer or business
man
Attitude of Dictator.
A resolution relating to a possible strike
In the bituminous mining district was read.
It was sent to tho executive committee
pending developments. The resolution
reads:
That as the United Mine Workers of
America has assumed an attitude of dic
tatorship over the mining Industry.
Be It Resolved, That In the event of a
strike the full power of the government
should be usod to maintain peace in the
mining districts and to protect the right
of every cltlKen to txerclse his own free
will as to accepting employment In the
mines. The open shop principle should bo
actually operative In the mines the same
as In every other Industry, but so long as
It Is possible for the operators to obtain
other men than the strikers to work the
mines, they should have the moral sup
port of the public and the protection of
the government In their efforts to obtain
euch men.
Tho following resolution was passed
unanimously:
That the uso 'of tho union label on man
ufactured articles endorses the endeavor
of labor organizations to control tho whole
labor market. Is no Indication of the qual
ity of the goods nnd lis use Is u sur
render of Individual freedom and Is a
badge of subserviency, be It resolved that
the Cltliens Industrial association of
America declare Its opposition to the use
of such labels and urges upon manufac
turers that they refuse Its use on tholr
products, being a species of boycott, and
It Is only by reason of untrammeled enter
prise that Improvement In manufactures
nr.d national advancement can be secured.
Beparate resolutions denouncing the eight
hour and antl-lnJunctlon bills now pending
before congress were pased unanimously.
Copies of the resolutions will be rent to

WILL HELP HUNT FOR RADIUM
Scientists Will Aid Miner In Search
for New Demonstration of
Force.
CHICAGO. Feb. 22 Work to aid miners
In locating radium In America ha been
begun In the Ryrrson physical laboratory
at the University of Chicago. Prof. Robert
A. Mllllkan. Ph. D.. known among Amer
lean scientists as an authority on this rare
metal, Is the experimenter.
A theory to tho effect that there Is
growth In the life of matter In the physical
world has been made a special study by
Prof. Mllllkan. He says: "Studies on radi
ation have suggested the question whether
there Is any natural process which does
among the atoms what the life process
does among the molecules, namely, which
takes the slmplet forms and builds them
up again Into more complex forms. The
fact that radium now exists In the earth,
taken with the fact that the life of radium
Is Bhort In compurlson with the ages thut
the earth has been In existence, certainly
eems to point to an affirmative answer."

When It Fail to tore Catarrh.
"If I only knew It to bo true, I would not
hesitate a moment," Thl Is a thought tho
average person has when rending tha
claims of sumo of the medicines that are
advertised for catarrh.
The results from tho uo of Hyomel ore
so remarkable In the cure of catarrh, that
they se m beyond relief. The fact, though,
that Sherman & McConnell Drug Co., Cor
ner 10th and Dodge Sts., Omaha, one of thi
best known druggliits In this section, have'
so much conlldenco In the power of Hyomel
to cure catarrh that they Hell It under
their personal guarantee to refund lh-
money If the purchasers can say that It
did ont help them, ought to convince tho
most skeptical that Hyomel run be relied
upon to cure all catarrhal troubles, no mat
ter how serious or decp-scatf d.
The complete Hyomel outfit, consltlng
of a neat inhaler thut can be carried In the
purse or pocket, a medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomel, costs only one dollar.
Additional bottles of Hyomel i an be pro
cured for fifty cents, making It the most
ooonomlcal of treatments.
Catarrhal colds which nre is common at
this season of the year, have been cured In
a day. Mild cases of rntarrh that have
become chronic are frequently cured In a
week or ten days. Now I the time to begin,
the use of Hyomel. remembering that Slier
man & McConnell Drug Co., Corner 16th,
nnd Dodge Sts., Omaha, sell every package
on a positive guarantee to refund the
money If It falls to cure.
