HO'.V TO SETTLE THE STRIKE
Ai 0cl MocVmen Oetllnes
Mtbod that WiinM Trove
s aelrUly EITrrtlve.
OSCEOLA, Neh July i. To the Fdltor
of The I3ee: In view of tho present "strike"
In South Omaha and other point on live
stock, I wish to call the attention of
11 local dealer to a way. In my estimation,
thst It can be railed oft. Under prwnt
conditions local buyer "are at sea," not
knowing what prices to offer, or whether
lock can be sold If shipped at any rrtee.
At present the chance are that tock will
lay in the yards for a week or more at
heavy expense to the shipper.
1 have before me a circular letter under
dil cf July IS, purported to be sent out
by the packers, and affiled by the Cudahy
Tacking company, Swift and Company, Ar
mour & Co., Omaha Packing company,
stating that they' will buy each day 1,21
head of cattle, and from 5.000 to ,0r0 hoirs.
and that the packer have assured the
commission mm to start buying, as they
were abundantly able to handle . the
above amount of stock. This circular let
ter wa dated July 18, 1904, and In the
Drover Journal-Stookman of July 18
(Tuesday) we find tho receipts were 2,900
head of hoes In Omaba, and with but one
buyer on the maiket and he had order
for only a very few loads, the trade w
practically at a standstill and markets
very unsatisfactory.
' We a local dealers have no protection
whatever, and the only relief we have Is
for all "dealers" to hold shipments until
the packer and striker get together and
settle their differences. The farmer can
easily wait a few weeks, or If necessary,
months without offering stock for sale;
they have plenty of everything on their
farm to eat,' and produce to exchange at
the store for other purpose. ' to keep
them In existence for several month to
come. If no stock Is offered the packers
they will have no use for employing help,
the striker will then see the true situa
tion and will readily settle their troubles
and go to work. After this stock will then
bir'n to move to the packlnir centers and
prices become settled. I offer this . as a
means by which this trouble can1 be set
tled and that dealers and growers of stock
may act and work together for their own
mutual benefit. If It should be thought
best aa organisation might be speedily ef
fected under these suggestions, and thus
save the people a vast deal of trouble and
unnecessary expense attending the disposi
tion of their stock.

THINK CRISIS IS NOW , PAST
Great Britain Gives Russia Tim to
Hear from Vladivostok
Sqatulron,
LONDON, July 28,-Ths tension In the
Rusoo-Erltlsh relations has been relaxed
and no rupture la now probable. Count
Renckendorff, the Russian . ambassador to
Great Britain, Informed Lord Lansdowne
this morning that If Russia had committed
tt. wrong It was ready and willing to make
full reparation, but before any action
could be taken In the Knight Commander
case the Russian government must have
the opportunity of receiving the report of
the commandjr of the Vladivostok squad
ron. Lord Lansdowne was not disposed to un
duly press the ' matter and promised to
wait a reasonable time.
In the House of Commons this, afternoon
Premier Balfour, confirming the announce
ments made In these dispatches, said the
acute stage of the Red sea Incidents had
passed, and that the Russian volunteer
fleet vessel would be withdrawn. He laid
down the British view that no belligerent
warship could Issue front th Black sea
and that the volunteer fleet vessels In
Issuing therefrom. If. they took , belligerent
action, had no right to Issue or no right
to. take' such acjlon . .... r. , , '
The strongest possible txceptlon has been
taken to the seizure of the Malacca -Cn the
above ground, the premier added. The
Russian government had met the 'British
contention In regard to this particular In
cident' As to the Knight Commander case
the government had earnestly protested
that ths sinking of that vessel was con
trary to the accepted practice of nations.
Mr. Bclfsur assumed a serious tone as
he referred to the Knight Commander:
"There are, I am so sorry to say," said
the premier, "other questions not con
nected with the Incident at ell, which
must causa mora discussion between the
two governments, and like all discussions
between governments, there may be- legit
imate cause for anxious anxiety. We hold
that it 1 not proper that on the authority
of the' captain of a cruiser that goods al
leged to be contraband of war should be
taken from a merchant ship without. trial."
This statement of the premier was greet
ed with an outburst of cheers.
"The proper ofturse," continued Mr. Bal
four, "according to international practice
Is that any ship suspected of carrying con
traband of war should be taken by the bel
ligerent to one of It own ports and Its
trial should there occur before a prise
court, by which the case Is to be determ
ined." .
It developed today that the United 8tates
la depending on Great Britain to obtain
compensation for the loss of the Knight
Commander's cargo. It Is the custom for
ship owners to be responsible for cargoes,
and therefore the American claim are to be
made to th owner of the Knight Com
mander, who, of course, are British, and
who In turn will make a claim to the
British government.
WASHINGTON, Jufy 2S.-The State de
partment has addressed Itself to. the Rus
sian government through Spencer Eddy, the
American charge at Bt. Petersburg, on the
charge of the aeisure of the cargo of the
Arabia by th Vladivostok squadron. The
Hambutg -American company undoubtedly
will appeal to the German government to
secure the release of Its ship and compen
sation for the delay In its cruise and other
Hems of loss. It 1 deemed highly desir
able to take conservative action and above
all to avoid Increasing the Irritation
aroused In shipping circle over the recent
seUures and ticking of vessels. Therefore
Mr. Eddy has been, it ia understood. In
structed to msh eorna very moderate rep
resentations to the Russian government and
these may be strengthened later If ex

WAS STATESMAN AND MONSTER
Former Ambassador White Dlsenaae
Cruel Nature of Von
Plehve.
SYRACUSE, N. T., July 23. The Tost
Standard tomorrow will say that Formt-r
Ambassador to Germany Andrew D. White
wa seen by a Post-Standard reporter at
the residence of hi brother, More re K.
White, In Jame street. Just before he
left for Ithaca yesterdsy afternoon. When
asked If he had the acquaintance of M.
Plehvc, Mr. White announced that he
knew him well, having met him frequently
In the course of official business during
hi stay at St.. Petersburg In U93, 1SSJ and
1S94 8 minister of the United State to
Russia.
In discussing Plehve and th assassina
tion, Mr. White said:
At that time M. Plehve hsd not ar
rived at the position of full mlnl.tr of
the Interior, but was the first asslstsnt
minister In that department, and In .that
capacity took up various American mat
ters, especially line lieulings of the Rus
sian government wl'h some of the Ameri
can Insurance companies. The Ruxslan
government had made the companies a
great deal of trouble, and I was instructed
from Wnshlnrton to rtisouss the matter.
General Hachaller, finw Jixljre of the In
ternational court In Egypt, very ably rep
resenting the companies.
I think both General Bachel'er end my
self found M. Plehve very acreeahle and,
apparently, as far as his government al
lowed him, reasonable. I also met him
socially at various times and found him
agreeable and interesting.
1 was, therefore, greatly surprised - at
learning when he was promoted to the
first place that his whole characier seemed
to change.
His part In the horrible massacre snd
plunder of the Jews, men, women and
children, at KlehinefT. caused him to be
regarded with abhorrence by the whole
world. Even more frlehtfol hns ben bis
connection with the destruction of the
liberties of Finland. In my mind that In
the most wicked thing In the history of
the last two centuries. There Is no time
to go into It here further than to say that
It has turned the best, the most civilised,
the most educated snd the most loyal
province of the empire Into a land In
which the opposite of these chnraderlsties
Is more highly develorrf-d than In any other
pnrt of the empire. Other thinffs done by
him were -also calculated to bring most
bitter hatred against him.
He attempted to help his cnuse by a de
fense of his conduct toward Finland which
was published In an American maprnslne.
But It certainly must have failed to con
vince nns- thinking man at all aware of the
circumstances.
During two summers I lived mtilnly In
Finland, coming frequently to St. Peters
burg, and the transition In passing from
the cultivation and civilisation of Finland
to. the atmosphere of Russia was the most
depressing I have ever known.
I do rrot wonder at hie assassination, al
though I deeply lnment It. Anions; other
reasons for this regret It will doubtless be
made a 'pretext for new oppression and
new cruelties toward the Jewish popula
tion and toward Ihe-Flnlsnilers. AsksssI
nutlnu always defeats Its purpose, and this
will be no exception to the rule
t cm orr!v account for M. Hehve'a atro
cious, reactionary and desnotlo conduct
since he. came to the position of mlnlHier
on the theory that he felt thnt the clique
In control of the Winter palace, men end
women, who seem to have brought the
present emperor Into subjection to them,
obliged M. Plehve, as a condition of his
tenure of office, to do their will.
His ambition doubtless led him to adopt
their racial and religious hatred, as well as
their detestation of anything; like constitu
tional government.
Mr. White concluded by saying that, hav
ing lived twice officially In. Russia, he had
observed' closely the condition of the em
pire and that, though ho saw the ' most
Wretched condition of things during the
Crimean war, the situation at present Is
the most desperately bad In Russian his
tory, and lhat It has been brought on by
an exercise of despotism more unreason
able, cruel and short-nighted than anything
In recent human history outsldo of the
Turkish empire.
THINK UNITED STATES IS TO BBS FIR Si
St. Petersburg: Reports Strong; Protest
Agnlnat Selsure of Merchandise.
BT. PETERSBURG. Ju'y 28. The United
State Is preparing to take a strong po
sition for the protection of neutral ship
carrying American cargoes. Thl Is In
dicated by the fact that the United State
yesterday made an official Inquiry of Rus
sia regarding the British steamer Ardova,
seized by the Volunteer fleet Smolensk in
the Red sea, which had American gov
ernment stoiea on board. The Ardova
had airead;' been released when the in
quiry was made,
Todsy the Foreign office received a com
munication from the United Stales .Ask
ing whether the Arabia, a German ship
chartered by an American Company, had
been releused and added that, according
to Information In possession of the United
Btatss government, the Arabia's cargo of
flour, etc., was bound for Hong Kong.
While the communication did not take the
form of a protest. It Is believed that un
less the Arabia is released a formal pro
test will bo lodged. The government could
only reply that It was completely without
Information, the Arabia not yet having
arrived at Vladivostok, where it wa re
girted it had' been sent In charge of a
prlie crew. Nothing ha been done Iri

haft Constantlnovttch von FIchV, minis
ter of th interior of Russia, wa assassin
ated at :60 o'clock this morrilng with
bomb thrown at his carriage while he wa
driving to the 'Baltic t''tn 10 -take a
train for the palace t I'ec-hof, where ho
was to make Ida weekly report to tho
csar.
The assassination Is believed to be tho
outcome of a widespread plot, l'.e exist
ence of which has,1 been supced for sev
eral 'days. Numerous krrests havo al
ready been made. Including1 that' of tho
assassin, a young man who I believed
to be a Finn of the name of Leglo and
who Is now .In a hospital, perhep fatsl'y
Injured by the explosion of ' his own
bomb. Art accomplice of Lt'.o, also ap
parently a Finn, but whose nam la un
known, has been arrested. He had In his
possession a tiomh, which be tried to
throw, but ho was overpowered by the
police Just, In time to prevent great loss
of life.
The assassin wore a brown overcoat and
a railroad officer's cap. He stood on, tho
sidewalk Just as Minister von I'lchve Was
about to cross the canal bri'so near the
station. The minister wn escorted by a
number of detectives on bicycles, and on
of them Jostled the aesatikln, who then
rushed Into the road and threw the bomb
after the carriage. The mls.i'e Struck the
hind wheel and exploded with fearful
force, killing; or wounding mure than a
score of persons. M. von Plehve and his
coachman were killed outright and an
officer of the guard was fatally injured; 1
Aaaeasln Confesses Crime.
One of the cyclist detectives arrested th
assassin, who endeavored to esrape,
though wounded by splinters In the face,
arm and abdomen. lie- made no attempt
at resistance, however. Wli-ij sUcd by
the .detacttae he con fr-aied, LW frime, but
refused to give his n-irae.
The police Immediately afier I .'it f;ilo-
slon arrested a Siifj:'olous Individual who
took refuge In ' a hotel near the scene of
the tragedy. He carried a bomb similar
to that thrown by Leglo. As soon as tt
police saw tho bomb they scattered, but
an employe of the hotel rushed up behind
the accomplice and pinned his arms.
, The explosive is believed to have been
composed of pyroxlin, as It gave off little
smoke. The force of the es plosion wa
so terrific that it not only ' broke nearly
every window within a rac.lus of half a
mile, hut reduced heavy paving stones to
powder, heaved up the piviiient anj
flung a heavy piece . of tl Iron work of
the carriage across the canal, severing a
thick barge mast, which fell, stunning tho
captain of the barge. Everybody In t $
street was knocked down and b"i'-.
