'The Russ today argues that a neutral

armament of belligerent warships entering
a neutral port in need ot repairs and that
consequently the Ryeshltelnl at Che Foo

Japan Gets After China.
. LONDON, Aug. 17. 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.

pressly stated that the Toklo government
had no Intention of remaining quiescent if
rftusala attempts to compel China to give a
stimulus to its men-of-war and authorise
repairs at Us porta, which would enablo
them to resume belligerent operations.
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

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.

- 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

Homley and Dady In the assault upon the

The blanket warrant sworn out Tuesday

town or go Into temporary seclusion,"
Sttld Chief Deputy Cunningham, "and as
a result thtsy cannot now be found."

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.
The states comprising the several, dis
tricts are as follows: - First district, Wash
ington; Second district, Oregon; Third dis
trict, California and Nevada; Fourth dis
trict, Idaho and Montana; Fifth district,
Colorado, Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma;
Sixth district, Arizona and New Mexico;
Seventh district, North Dakota. Wyoming
and Nebraska; Eighth district, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and , Michigan; Ninth district,
Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama, Florida,

and the states from which they hall are

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

$,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. The expend
itures per capita for the Inst years re
spectively of the administration given,
taken from ths reports of the secretary of
the treasury were as follows:
In under Buchanan, $2.01; In 1S03 un
der Harrison, 7"; In 1M7, under Cleve
land, $f).10; In 1901. under McKlnley, JC 5;
In 1904, under Roosevelt, $7.10.
I.nek of Consistency
The republicans now claim great con
sistency In tholr attitude upon the Cur
rency question, and the preMdent In h.S
recent speech of acceptance, said that they
knew what they mean when ihey speak of
a stable currency. "The sariie thing irom
year to yeur," and yet In the platforms
of their party In 1S4. l&sfl and IMi they
favpred the double standard of value. In
the platform of P8 they said "The repub
lican party Is In favor of the use of both
gold and silver as money, and condemns
the policy of the democratic aaminiviration
In its effort to demonetise silver.
I congratulate your committee snd the
constituency It represents In the selection
by the delegates to the national convention
In the nominee for the presidency. He Is a
man of courage, yet prudence; of high

Find Common Ground,
Dire predictions were made by our po
litical opponents of wnut would Km-pen nt
the fit. Louis convention, but they mis
judged the temper or the party and the
people. While inert- nau en nini-n-i,'
In the nrecedina camuaigns. yet at St.
Louis they were a'l harmonized and a com- j
moit ground was found upon wnicn an
could stand and do battle for democratic
principles. A platform was adopted by
unanimous vote, emoracing ine issues
of the day and presenting -o the people
a declaration of principles which In the
language of the times is sane, safe and
sound.
With a cand date whose personality ap
peals to the good sense and sound judg
ment of the American people, a platform
whose principles are for the greatest good
to the greatest number, and a reunited
party, earnest for the restoration of good
and economical government, we should
succeed and the principles of democracy
again triumph. .
