No official confirmation oj tho report that
Rojeatvenntty has requested to be relieved
from duty Is obtainable at the Admiralty.
Nevertheless, Tthe admirals health has
been the cause of considerable anxiety
here. It Is- Well known that he suffered
from kidney trouble before leaving Cron
stadt and throughout the long voyage to
the far cast ho suffered at times to such
an extent that he had to be carried about
on a stretcher. But the Russian com
mander atuck bravely to his post. If he la
now compelled on the eve of battle to
give up his command the Admiralty would
regard It as little short of a national mis
fortune. Rojcstvonsky has proved to be
a genius as an organizer and confidence
Is felt that he will show equal ability aa
a- fighter. Should Rojestvensky be com
pelled to leave the fleet the command will
devolve on Rear Admiral Voelkernam, who

PRESIIYTEIIIAXS MEF.T AT W1AOXA
William J. Drill Principal Speaker
at General Missionary Itnlly.
WINONA LAKE, Ind., May 17. Special
trains brought to Winona tonight several
hundred commissioners from eastern states
who will attend the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church, which will con
vene tomorrow morning. About 400 com
mlssloners with as many laymen attended
a general missionary meeting tonight at
which William J. Bryan was the principal
speaker.
Philadelphia, Columbus, O., and Dea
Moines desire the meeting next year.
Two questions which are of particular
interest to southern Presbyterians will be
the consolidation of the general assembly
with the Cumberland branch and that of
separate presbyteries for colored people.
It is understood the consolidation will take
place, but It will not be brought about at
once. There are many minor questions to
be disposed of first.
Dr. Moffett, president of Washington and
Jefferson college, and Dr. J. F. Hendy of
Jefferson City, Mo., are candidates for
the office of moderator. The election takes
place tomorrow.
The foreign mission conference began Its
work, Secretary Arthur J. Brown of the
board of missions presiding. Nearly SO)
persons were present. In the audience were
Heated Justice Harlan of the United States
(supreme court. Mrs. Harlan and William
Jennings Bryan. Justice Harlan is here to
urge the construction of a Presbyterian
cathedral at Washington.' Mr. Bryan Is
here to attend the meeting of presidents of
Presbyterian colleges.
Hearty laughter and applause greeted
the opening remarks of Justice John M.
Harlan of the United States supreme court,
who said:
If the Presbyterians need more money
for foreign missionary work, Mr. Bryan
could ralxo plenty ot It by devoting twelve
months to it and charging ad.mlsHlon while
speaking for the missionary cause among
tne churches.
The time is coming when Mr. Bryan will
regret, and L will regret with him, that
this country is a world power. It will be
regretted that we are governing millions
of people without their consent and are
taking on a colonial system such as Eng
gland has. We dare not become a world
power unless we are willing to accept all
of the responsibility. One of the responsi
bilities Is that of spreading religion.
Mr. Bryan, who followed Justice Harlan,
said In part:
If I should have no more success In rais
ing a campaign fund for foreign missionary
work than I had In raising a fund for do
mestic campaign purposes. I would not be
very successful. I am not convinced" that
this government will substitute the sword
for the Bible In Its work In forelcn lands
One missionary from this country has more
power to aeai wun mis work in foreign
lands than a whole army of the government.
Continuing. Mr. Bryan made It clear that
he la a believer In foreign missionary work.
He said:
I believe that the sermon on the mount
snouiii te carried to every soul on earth.
I believe In Imnrovlntr the bodv and mind
If my son were a street digger, I should
want him to be an educated digger.
believe in training the heart. The world
Is moved more through the heart than
tnrougn tne minn or body. The day Is com
Ing when religion will be stronger than
ever. That It will come from the heart
as the people draw nearer to the teaching
or me Master.
Mr. Bryan paid tribute to the mtsslona
rles In foreign lands, saying that they are
better Christians than those who stay at

changed his mind and said I would hipve

have to settle for, he blustered again with
Indefinite threats of what he would do.
"He is a young and strong man, and as
he placed his lack against the door and
refused to let me out I realized that some
thing would have to be done."
The witness then told how, under the
threats of Algoe and to prevent a scandal
which would, he believed, be circulated by
his enemies he had gone and got 250,
which he had given to Algoe. Witness
did not spare himself for the temporary
weakness which led him to make this con
cession and whilo he was recounting the
trip to the Commercial National bank and
to entangle a man whose standing, age
and reputation were such that It was con

Algoe Kails to Score.
At the afternoon session cross-examlna-
the paying over of tho money there was a tlon of Mr. Rosewater was continued for
an hour. It did not develop anything to
the advantage of Algoe. All of his efforts
breathless hush In the court room.
Hlackmnller Cornea Back.
That same afternoon. Algoe impudently
walked Into Mr. Roaewater's office In The
Bee building and said he wanted more
money. The first bunch had come so easy
It had evidently given him an appetite for
more. Mr. Rosewater stood him off, as he
said on the witness atand, "until I couldj
arrange to trap him." Algoe persisted In
chasing his victim for more coin and went
again and again looking fur It. From the
witness straightforward story of their
negotiations the man had gained the
settled belief that rather than lace the
nastlness of publicity In thia perfidious!
bald badger game Mr. Rosewater would
give him all he might ask.
Finally he got to The Bee office at the
right moment, after dodging several ap
pointments by anywhere from a half to
an hour. It seemed queer to the listeners
that, as Mr. Rosewater told the incidents.
Algoe always timed his vistta so that he
found hts victim alone, and refused to
talk when anyone else was present. This
went on for several days, until' the 28th
day of April, when the blackmailer bullied
his way in with the assertion that he
must have what he called "the balance
Of that money right away, or I will end
It right here."
Just then Chief of Police Donahue, who

were directed to meeting Mr. Rosewater
alone. He would not consent to have any
one present when he went hunting for easy
money. A long series of questions were
asked by Algoe's attorney, going over
earlier testimony. They developed nothing,
except that Algoe, In hla Intimidating In
terview atahe hotel and elsewhere, had
refused to be specific In his charges of al
leged Injuries sustained at the hands of
Mr. Rosewater. The Iteration and reitera
tion of the questions at this time would
never be permitted In district court.
Witness testified that the climax of Al
goe's aggravating visits came on April 28.
On that day he went to the editor's office
In a truculent humor. Mr. Rosewater
called his manner strenuous, but the full
realization of the piratical campaign, which
he aought to bring to a successful close on
that day, came to all present-when Chief
Donahue took the starid later.
In spite of the- avalanche of pointless
queries, coupled with Innuendoes hurled at
him, the witness answered r!th admirable
courtesy and unwearying patience. At
times Mr. Rosewater did not even give the
county attorney or Mr. Connell a chance
to object, but gave to his legal and per
sonal opponent r hit the Information he
qould thrnk- of that inlght more strongly
Illumine the casa. . A' tricky - man or one
who felt In any way guilty of offense
would have given the Algoe advocate much
into custody. Even then It was hoped that trouble; Mr. " Rosewater simply tried to
tne unknown pirate couia dp. maae to lei
go and proceed about his alleged legiti
mate business If he was not prosecuted.
Whoever his skilled outside advisers were,
however, they evidently keyed him up to
go through with hts specious plea of a
broken home and his wife' honor, tho
hurt to which, he asserted, ouly money
could heal.
Dnnn Trie to Distort Facts,
On cross-examination Algoe'a attorney
sought to give out the Impression that
the witness had made two separate pay
ments of money. This was denied point
blank, and was not pushed any farther.
Likewise the witness denied eVer having
given the woman any money, except Jl
he had loaned her when she appealed to
him that sne needed It for a pair of over
shoes.
Getting to the scene In the room at the
hotel, the attorney tried to frame questions
that would draw from the witness some
Incriminating admissions. He was an-
glve Information. .And he gave precisely
the same Information to as many as a
dozen different framings of the same ques
tion.
Ho Desire to Persecute.
In one instance, replying to a question
asked in several different guises, Mr. Rose.
water said positively that he did not at
any time ask that Algoe be compelled to
leave , town. He had no disposition what
ever to harm him, or to have anyone else
persecute him.
When he broke down In the chief's
office.' said Mr. Rosewater, "and I saw
him shortly afterward, "I recalled to him
that his own father could not have given
him better advice than I did at the time
he was holding me In his room for what . cuse Mr. Rosewater of a crime. It was as
further consider the wisest course to pur
sue, I sent It back.
"While In my office Algoe broke down
and cried, after I had let him rend the
statute for himself. He began to whimper
miserably and said: 'I wish you had killed
me right there and sent me to h 1, where
I belong. I wish you would do It now.
We're both gone to 1. 1 anyway, and I
don't care how soon It Is ended.'
"He said more to the same effect, but
after I talked to him a while he quieted
down and showed m a service card from
a railroad he had worked on. He denied
that he was a d d scoundrel, but said
he was broke and had no friends here,
had become desperate and had to havo
money. He said he could now see where
his action were bringing him and offered
to go to work for Mr. Rosewater, If he
could use him, until he could pay back
tho amount he had got.
Iloifnalrr Titles the Wretch.
"Shortly after Algoe had broken down
Mr. Rosewater came ever to my office and
during the conversation Algoe said he
wanted to repay the money he had got
from Mr. Rosewater at the bank. In an
swer to a question by me If he wanted
Algoe sent away from Omaha Mr. Rose
water said he did not; he had never driven
any man away from Omaha, and did not
want to do so. I asked him If he would
feel safe with Algoe In the city and he
said he would if tho young man would go
to work and behave himself.
"If It had not been for Mr. Rosewater's
request that scandal be avoided for the
aake of others than himself I should cer
tainly have placed Algoe under Immediate
arrest.. It Was a question for tho exercise
of a man's best Judgment, In my view, and
it Was only after giving tho matter serious
Consideration for several days that I swore
to the complaint. I had also In the moan
time learned other facts which clinched my
decision."
Cross-examination brought from Chief
Donahue the blunt statement that he found
Mr. Rosewater frightened, worried and
nervous to a high degree through the chase
Algoe had been Conducting for blackmail
money.
"I think It was more a dread of the pos
sible scandal than personal fear," said the
chief, "but he was Intensely agitated and
excited. The loss of tho money did not
seem to bother him so much as the con
tinual harrasslng by threats of what Algoe
might do."
Haa Attorney Beforehand.
The chief also told how Algoe had asked:
"If I am arrested can I see my attorney?"
He was told he could. Algoe's counsel tried
to get Donahue to say "an attorney," but
the chief aald he had a distinct recollec
tion of the words, "my -attorney," being
used. Algoe evidently had a plan of de
fense mapped out In advance.
When he offered to pay the money back
ss soon aa he could earn it, Mr. Rose
water went and wrote out a note for $1'50,
running one year without Interest. He had
said he did not consider it any good, but
to the chief Algoe said He would prove they
were mistaken and would pay It.
"He took the note," said Chief Donahue,
looked it over, also the quitclaim receipt
attached. In which he released any claim
of any klrld against Mr. Rosewater. 'Why,
certainly I'll sign that,' he said, and went
over to my desk and did sign It, and I wit
nessed It."
Algoe confessed to Donahue, and to Rose
water and Connell afterward, that he had
given part of the 1250 to his wife. With
the rest he said he had paid some bills he
owed around town. There are also some
he did not pay.
Algoe'a attorney got full and free
answers from Chief Donahue, without a
hint of hesitation. No better witness ever
testified In such a case and the most crit
ical cross-questioning did not bring even
a hint of change, except to correct and
make stronger the direct story.
With the chief's testimony tho btate
rested and Algoe's attorney called Mr.
Connell to the stand to have him tell of
the note and quit claim receipt. Mr. Con
nell produced the note, which went into
the record. He had destroyed the receipt
as being of no possible use to anyone.
Afraid to Pat on Witness.
I. J. Dunn, counsel for the blackmailer,
then went Into consultation with Mrs.
Algoe for ten minutes. When they re
turned Into court the woman wore a dis
turbed and worried look. It was rather
expected she would take the stand, but
she did not. Their counsel then opened up
his argument, the state having waived the
opening. He contended there was no case
made out on the first three counts of the
complaint, for the reason that there were
no specific verbal threats by Algoe to ao-

BOSTON, May 17. In a statement Issued
today Governor Douglas, as referee In the
settlement of the Fall River Textile strike
of 1904, finds that a partial restoration of
wages is not warranted. When the strike
was settled In January, last through Gov
ernor Douglas' Intervention, he was em
powered to fix a margin of profit at which
operatives would receive an Increase of
wages. The governor reports that the con
ditions between the months between Janu
ary and April were not such as to war
rant an Increase.
Tho strike, which affected about 2G,MX
persons, was begun in July, 1904, to resist
a cut of 12V4 per cent In wages. 7h.
strike lasted nearly six months, at the
end of which time tho operatives returned
to work with the reduction In effect. Tho
strikers went back In consequence of the
amicable intervention of Governor Doug
las, and the agreement was that the gov
ernor should, after Investigation, decide
upon what margin the mill owners could
grant an Increase of 5 per cent up to
April 1 of this year.
The governor offers no direct recom
mendation bearing on the Fall River situa
tion. Governor Douglas finds that it would re
quire a margin of "4 38-100 cents between
the price of cloth and Its equivalent In
unmanufactured cotton to pay the re
quested Increase of 6 per cent In wages
earned during the lime which his Investiga
tion covered. This margin would allow
per cent for mill dividends and 5 per cent
for annual deprecation.
While the exact margin of profit which
prevailed during the period of Investiga
tion Is not exactly known, since it Is a
matter which the manufacturers alone have
knowledge. It is understood that It waa
under 70 cents.N
