'The Russ today argues that a neutral power has no right to demand the dis armament of belligerent warships entering a neutral port in need ot repairs and that consequently the Ryeshltelnl at Che Foo and the Russian warships at Tslng Tau were entitled, to enjoy the hospitality of those porta.

The Associated Press learned this afternoon that Japan has made a demand on China, practically In the na ture of an ultimatum, that It .Immediately enforce its neutrality in the "case of the protected cruiser Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer Qrosovol, now at Shanghai. Japan' pointed out that the time limit, twenty-four hours, permitted by Interna tional law had expired, and that Japan heeefore is at liberty to take such action 'is may seem to It expedient.

Should China fail to comply Immediately with Japan's demand, the division of Japanese warships now In the vicinity of BhanghaJ will, the legation declares, be Instructed to enter the port and capture tho Askold and Orosovol, as was done in the case of the Ryeshltelnl. Japan has made no secret ot- its Intention, but hns not consulted the powers, believing that the matter Is one "which concerns Itself alone. Japan la prepared, the legation fur ther asserts, to recognise Chineso neutrality Only so long as It is respected by Russia. - Che Foo a Russian Base. With regard to the Ryeshltelnl, Japan, it is asserted, Is determined not to comply with the Chinese demand, submitted in compliance with the Russian note,-that the vessel be returned to Che Foo. Japan in sists that to all Intents and purposes the Foo has been a Russian base during the war, Chinese Junks having been fitted out there and sent through the Japanese block ading vessels to Port Arthur. . , No answer has yet been given Japan to the Russian protest In the case of the Ryeshltelnl, but when it is made It will be communicated to all the powers. NEW YORK, Aug. 17. Japanese Journals, In commenting upon the Ryeshltelnl af fair, state that the country does not in tend to have a repetition of the gunboat Mandjur incident, says a dispatch from Toklo. ... '. . : . Japan, It Is declared, cannot break up its fleet for the purpose of watching Chinese porta where Russian vessels take refuge. Confidence is expressed by tht papers that when the facts In regard to the Ryeshltel nl'a capture are known Europe will en dorse. Japan's procedure., Problem Is-Most Intricate. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Mr. Takahlra, the Japanese minister, today received a long communication from his home gov ernment setting forth its views as to the light of Russian ships to take refuge In Chinese ports. Jt- Is believed to be identi cal with other notes submitted to the Euro pean chancellories and is evidently an In- dioatlon 'of the Japanese' purpose to make a defense In advance for drastic action which It proposes to take regarding these Russian ships. The officials here freely admit thut' 'the problem presented . in the Japanes .'de mand that Russian ships shall not?, be harbored by China la a most Intricate and perplexing one and there are precedents on all sides of the case. As late as .the Spanish war the American scouts and gunboats made frequent use of neutral ports In the West Indies, notably Danish and British porta, to communicate by cable with tba horns government, and with sec tions of ths American, fleet, yet there was no charge that the neutrality had been Violated. But the Japanese contention, as made In this last note, is that Chinese neutrality has been violated at Che Foo throughout the war by the. Russian gun boats snd Junks which repeatedly passed between that port and Port Arthur with contraband. The Japanese are understood to protest against the making of repairs in the Rus sian ships in Chinese harbors, yet In the Spanish war the United .States ship St Paul spent nearly a week In French' West Indian ports repairing and no charge of vlolation of neutrality followed.' Thg Jap anese are understood In this note to object to being deprived of their lawful prey by the dismantlement of Russian salps In Chinese harbors,, and. also In the German harbor of .Tslnjr Chau, -but In, the panlsn war the British government held an Amer ican torpedo boat, . tUe Vomers, in asyjum throughout the war. . ' .. v-' .'. .' . But it is also pointed out that the ability of the American Win ry to Secure' suh' priv. lieges during the Spanish war by no means constitutes1 a positive assertion of the right of the neutral nation to aooord them. It may be stated positively that our gov ernment looks upon the issue -presented by Japan as one, distinctly between that country and China.' and therefore it will not Interfere In the' settlement. it.

Ml'KGER Fall to Secure Release I'nder First Motion. , - Judge Munger yesterday hanled down . decision overruling the motions of John Homley and Dan Dady, alleged strikers, to discharge them for want of Jurisdiction and that they were not named in the com plaints citing certain strikers to show cause why they should not be committed for contempt in violating the injunction order of the United States circuit court cf July 20. In the case of John Illckey, cited for similar cause, the court ordered the de fendant discharged for lack of Jurisdiction. Tho case now goes on trial on the original motion to show cause why Dady and Hom ley should not ti committed for contempt. The entire morning was consumed in the examination of Homley. The cross-examination was particularly rigid. The ex amination bears upon the participation of Homley and Dady In the assault upon the mute, Rodjy, on the street car on the evening of August . The hearing 'will occupy the remainder of the day. Tomorrow morning will begin the hearing against Peter Hansen and Ullke Ford, Stephe'i Vail and 172 others, tp show cause why '.hey should not be committed for contempt of the order of injunction. fi'Uli DOES SOT CAPTURED YET Ten Alleged Rioters Saeeeed In Eluding- Sheriff's Hen. Sheriff Power has not yet succeeded In apprehending the ten "John Does" for whom warrants were Issued Monday by County Judge Vlnsonhaler on a charge ot participating In tho alleged riot at South Omaha on the preceding SaturdnV. The blanket warrant sworn out Tuesday at the same tribunal, accusing twenty more strikers with rioting cn the saune occasion, also remains unserved. - A general impression is prevalent In the office of the sheriff that the men will never be taken Into custody. "The men hod ample opportunity to leave town or go Into temporary seclusion," Sttld Chief Deputy Cunningham, "and as a result thtsy cannot now be found." Jailer Roarh, who has beun aiding the sheriff at South Omaha since the strike began, Is of the opinion that the trouble will soon be sdjusted one way or - the other In a very short time and tliat as soon sa a settlement Is effected the crlm nal proceedings Instituted by I-awyer Frank II. Unities, attorney for the packers, will be dropped.

NEW RULE FOR INSPECTORS Land Office Distrioti Country and Appoints Chief Inipootori. MORE EFFICIENT SERVICE EXPECTED Bids Oneaed at Washington tot beeoratlve Work on laterlor of tbe Omahn Federal Building. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. (Special Tele gram.) To render the Inspection service of the general land office more effective, the acting secretary of the Interior has di vided the public land states Into nine In spection districts, placing a special agent in chargo of each. This special agent will have supervision over all other special agents assigned to his district and will have B arge ot all inspections carried on In that district, being In turn directly re sponsible to the general land office. These special ugents In charge of districts are selected from the list of sixty-five land office special agents, because of their pro fielency and adaptability for the servlre, and are promoted from J1.200 to 11,500, with a per diem allowance of $3 per day for subsistence. The exi-crlence of the last two years has demonstrated that with all special agents reporting direct to the general land offltfe at Washington it nas been almost impos sible to kep' check on those Ttho go wrong, Numerous discharges have lately been made because special agents' have been found participating-In fraudulent opera tions, Iocs ting settlers on desirable lands, furnishing speculators with valuable In side Information, etc. It was this loseness of the old service that led Land Commis sioner Richards to work out the new sys tem which is approved today. Special agents in charge of districts will have headquarters at local land offices to be selected by them. Each will have a civil se.-vie clerk at $1,010 per annum. The fifth district, which Includes Colorado, Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma, will be in charge of Nicholas J. O'Brien of Wyom ing. Tho Seventh, which includes Ne braska. North and South Dakota and Wy oming, will be In charge of Peter R. Wads- worth of Indiana.

NOTIFIED (Continued from First Page:) At the same time, It brings to me a deep sense of my responsibilities to my party as a candidate and to my country In case of my election. A spirit of determination to succeed in the campaign before us appears to per vade the rank and file of our party In all sections of the country. Of that rank and tile I have for many years been a member and have at all times devoted my humble powers to party success, believing that success to be for the country's good! Un expectedly called, as I am now, to the fore front, I am Impelled to an acceptance of the obligation by a sense of gratitude to my. fallow workers, and the hope that It may be able the better to assist In return ing to power that party whose principles and past history guarantees a Safe, wise, economical and constitutional administra tion of the government. Obliterates Sectionalism. I find it therefore a great pleasure, stand ing here upon tho border end of the two Virginias, to receive and accept the com mission you bear and to send greetings through you to the democracy of the en tire country. ' Is it not significant of a closer and truer brotherhood among us, that for the first time since the civil war a nominee on the national ticket has been taken from that section of our common country that lies south of Mason "and Dixon's line a happy recognition of the obliteration of all sectional differences which led to and followed that unhappy struggle. As an introductory to the few remarks I shall mnke, I desire to say that I heartily endorse the platform urlon which I have been nominated snd .with the convention and its nominee for president, regard tilt in on, 11 iiyiit'iiirr miiuuaru 01 viiiue as irrevocably established. In the campaign preceding the last Jlec tlon much stress was laid hv renuMixon soeukers upon the prosperous condition of the country and forebodings were heard of the ill rasults, especially to the laboring man, which would follow any change In the political complexion of the govern ment. It Is true that the times then were good, but It is no less a fact that while mere lias been no change In the tiarty in power, many of the evils 'irobhesfed Kav comn under republican rule. Four years ago factories, mills, mines and furnaces were In active operation, unable to supply the demand, but now many are closed, and those that are open are being operated with reduced force on short hours. Then wages were high, labor was scarce and there was work for all. Now work Is scarce, ninny wage earners unemployed and wages reduced. The apprehension which mw prevails In buslnexs circles and the resent unsatisfactory industrial rnnriltlnna ot the country seem to demand a political Ills Stand on Labor. In 'the lunguase of our Mat form "the rights jof labor are certainly no b-s vested, no less sacred, and no lens Inalienable than the rights of capital." The time is oppor tune to emphasize the truth of this utter ance. The most sacred right of properly la the right to possess and own one's self aiul the labor of one's own hands capital nseir iieing but stored up labor. For years I worked In the ranks as a wave earner and I know what It la to earn my living In the sweat of my brow. 1 huva alwivi be lieved, and my convictions came from the hard school of exerlence, that, measured by the character of work he does ami ih cost nf living, a man Is entitled to full com. peiisallon (or bis services. My i"-rlt-n. as a wm earner and my aasoclmlon with labor have slike tuught me the value n democratic Prliiclnlrs. for In them th hum. blest has the strotiKest security for indi vidual right and tha highest stimulus to that Independence of Slilt and love uf self-lit-lp whli h produce the finest prlvste char acters and form tbe base of the best uoaal- ble government. . . - VOTtramtat Iterrlpta Decrease, ine receipts or tne government for xvm year milng June . 1 -i2. ih first fieri, I year of lliu present administration, shown a surplus over expenditure, if JUJ , but for the fleeal year emiing June SO, liialead vf a surplus ibtxs Mas a dellLll of Under Parents' Control When so' desired accounts may be opened in the children's name, yet sublect only to the control of the parent or guardian. h Interest Paid on Deposits, v , CITYSAVINGS BANK, $,non.ni)n. From the first of July. 1904. to August 10, or for about a month and a third of the present fiscal year, the ex penditures of the government have not ex ceeded the receipts by $:i.715,(0. There could be no stronger evidence nf the ex travagance Into which the republican party has fallen, and no more potent argument In behalf of a change to the party whose ten ets have always embraced prudence and economy In administrating the people's af fairs. . . Our republican friends are prone to re fer to the great commercial growth of tho country under their rule, an,", yet the cen sus reports show that from lTA to 1W. un der dcmoVratlc rule and the Walker tariff, the percentage of Increase was greater In population, wealth, manufactures and rail road mileage, the factors which sffect most largely the prosperity of the country, than in any decade since. The cost of g vernment has largely In creased under republican -ule.
