COMMENDS COURSE OF SECRETARY HAY that It Has Not Brasqae Koto aa the Sabject of leisures. (Copyright, by Hew York Herald Co., 1904.) . ST.' PETERSBURG, Aug. . (New York Herald Cablegram Special Telegram to The Bee,) The careful tone of Washington's diplomacy concerning tha contraband ques tion and the'- Bending of a preliminary telegram Instead of an Immediate protest, has given much satisfaction In the highest omclal circles In Russia. Tha Novoo Vremya uses It aa a peg on which to hang ah editorial commending Mr. Hay for show ing himself desirous of abiding strictly by , the rules of International law. A; good result pf Russia's firm stand in the matter of the right of search Is to ba noted In the attitude of leading shipping ' firms, who have fortwlth Issued notices to their agents forbidding the shipping of cargoes llbble to capture as contraband. The fact that France declared rice contra band' during the Chinese war Is thought to fortify considerably the" position taken I by Russia in the matter ot foodstuffs as snowing' that Russian opinion. Is exactly the same aa that of France. . .Press Discusses Sanation. ST.! PETERSBURG, Aug; .-7:40 a. m. The satisfaction of the Russian authorities at tha forbearance of the United States government In. connection with the neutral commerce, situation 'is echoed In an ed itorial in the Novoe Vremya this morning, which aaya the United States Is naturally much Interested in the declaration that food stuffs are contraband and points out that rice was made contraband during the Franco-Chinese war. The paper says' it is extremely difficult to draw the line, once the prohibition of war food supplies Is broached, but it expresses the hope that It will be possible, even in the face of the difficulties existing, that some way may lie found of meeting the wishes of the United Btatea In this direction. the Nevoe Vremya's leading editorial la entitled, "The Discretion of the Washing ton Diplomats," and says; "This is all the more agreeable as the Washington State department haa not al ways observed auch Judiciousness when dealing with Russia." May's j Coarse Praiseworthy, "This , time," the editorial continues, "Secretary Hay, according to the dis patches, has taken th consideration of the aelaure of American goods bound Vr Japan with circumspection, endeavoring to avoid raising side issues and keeping In view the sole object Of assuring proteotlon for American trade in the far east to the ex tent permitted by international law in time of war. Mr. Hay has taken a praiseworthy up In sounding the powers through the 'American representatives abroad regard ing the selsures, instead of forwarding a brusque note to Russia through the Amer ican ambassador here. This leads us to hope that no sortous misunderstanding will arise between St. Petersburg and Wash ington. America is chiefly Interested in our declaration that food stuffs are con traband and the Washington government seems not especially Inclined to Insist on the exclusion of all food stuffs as contra band, .only' Insisting, that food stuffs to be contraband must be destined directly, for th use of the military forces dt a bellig erent. ) It may Dot be difficult to convince Washington of cases In which food stuffs 0tten41bly intended for private persons can pass into the hands of the military after being delivered to private persons, or, bet ter still", perhaps, the diplomatists may be able to suggest some method guaranteeing Kgtala Is Glad i Received a It's the little details that go to make a 'complete whole.

Russia States Position. Russia has communicated to the United 6Utcs the decision of the Vladivostok prize court August 4 in the case of the Portland & Aslatlo line steamer Arabia, captured by the cruisers Oromobol of the Vladivostok squadron July K, confiscating such part of the cargo as was consigned to Japanese fort.x The Foreign office Is carefully considering the objections raised abroad In regard to Russia's list of Contraband, but no decision has been reacl.oj. From what the corre spondent of the Associated Press can gather, while the desire Is to avoid irri tating neutral powers as much ss possible lit regard to the Russian declaration on the subject of food, stuffs, it is pointed out that when the list was published no power objected, Great Britain not raising even a formal objection until several months had elapsed. Russia's position, aa stated to the Asso ciated Press by an cfflclal who speaks by authority. Is aa follows; Foodstuffs consigned to an enemy's port In sufficient quantity to create the pre sumption that It Is intended for the use of the government's military or naval forces Is prima facia contraband and suffi cient to warrant holding it for the decision of a prise court. Even If consigned to frlvate firms the burden of proof that it s not Intended for the government rests upon the consignor and consignee. If it can be proved that it la Intended for non combatants It will not be confiscated. Small consignments of foodstuffs In mixed cargoes will be considered presumptively to Le regular trade shipments and will not be seised as contraband, v . .( .,!.,r Russia has - not yet repllSd to .. rrat Britain regarding the tatter's protest On the subject ..... .'

RECIPROCITY SUBJECT OF HIS REMARKS Also Takes l the Consideration of a Petition Which Has Bees Largely Signed by Massachusetts Votet-a. B08TON, Aug. 6. Senator Henry Cabot Louge opened the presidential campaign In the east nt Point Shirley, Wlnthrop, when he spok to the North Dorchester Ilepub llcan club. Senator Lodfre's address was his first public uttcrange In the campaign and he devoted his time principally to de fining the attitude of the republicans on the question of reciprocity with Canada. He said In part: ' The republican-national convention at Chicago declared as follows: "Wo believe In commercial reciprocity, wherever reciprocal arrangements can be effected consistent with toe principles of protection and without injury to American agriculture, American labor or any Amer ican Industry." The president of the Unite." States In his reply to the committee of notification spoke as follows: "We believe In reciprocity with foreign nations on the terms outlined In President Mckinley's last speech, which urged the extension of our foreign markets by recip rocal agreements whenever they could be made without Injury to American industry am! labor." With this utterance of President Roose velt I agree absolutely and entirely, and I know no republicans who do not agree with him precisely as I do. Reciprocal Trade Relations. Senator Lodge then took up the consider ation of a petition which has been largely signed by Massachusetts voters and which declares that the establishment of recipro cal trade relations with- other countries and especially with Canada and New foundland, Is of vital importance to the commercial welfare of the United States, and especially that of Massachusetts. He declared that he fully agreed with the sentiment expressed, ."except the exag gerated adjective, 'vital. ? , . He said, however, that the object of the petition was found? In the paragraph which Inyttes the signers to "attend the cauouses and also to urge republican voters not to nominate any person ns a candidate for the state or national legislature who is unwilling to commit himself for such trade relations." ... It was a movement, he aald. Intended to create divisions In the republican party upon a question where ho division exists, and to raise -a wholly falso issue. Said he: The republican party Is not opposed to reciprocity. On the contrary, we who In the Inst eight years have given the largest extension ever known to our foreign mar kets heartily favor it. What we, one and all of us. who are responsible for the representation of Massachusetts In Wash ington object to is this attempt to separate the senators and representatives from the president, to create divisions in our cau cuses, endanger our congressmen, and our members of the legislature, and the being held up as opposed to a republican policy which we all support, -v .

After one of the most unoventful days since Judge Parker's nomination, he was awakened this evening by the Intimation that former Secretary of War Daniel Lnmont and United States Judge Gray of Vermont will probably be visitors at Rosomount tomorrow, and by a visit which Judge Parker received from John C. Sheehan of New York, a brother c.f villlain F. Sheehan, who Is well known In connection with the greater New York democracy and In opposition to the pres ent administration of Tammany Hall. Great Importance Is attached to the visit of Colonel Lamont. especially In view of the Increasing mention of his name In con nection with the democratic nomination for governor of this state. John C. Bheahan was driven to Rose mount late this afternoon from his brother's- residence. Judge Parker declared that Mr. Bneehan'a presence In Eaopus was without particular significance. Judge Parker devoted practically the entire day to his correspondence, which has ac cumulated while he had been working on his speech of acceptance1 and on the clos ing of his work In the court of appeals.

The closing of the week showed very little change In the packing house strike situation. For the week ending last night records at the stock yards office show that the packers bought 7,771 cattle, lS.fcH hogs and 1.024 sheep. ReeolptS for the week at the yards were .! cattle, 29,87: hogs and 12,981 sheep. As the packcra bought only the best grades to be used for fresh meat trade and Intended for immediate slaughter there waa no market at alb for medium or low grade stock. From the packers' stand point this Is considered a vary good show ing. On ths other hand the strike leaders Insist that the packers are losing money because a large proportion of the by prod ucts are now allowed to go to waste on ac count of the lack of skilled labor and the need of help generally. Thli one point Is greatly In favor of the atrikera, as they de clare that the packers will not continue to operate very long at a loss. . . The records further show there has been a steady increase In the amount of live stock handled by the packers since the strike began. During the week ending July the packers bought omy S,553 cattle. S.87I hogs and 4.4RO sheep. The first week of the strike shows a very decided falling off In the purchases. Railroad officials assert that last week whs the heavlext since the rlke In the loading and shipping out of refrigerator cars with fresh meats. "It Is estimated." Said a railroad -official last evening, "that the packers have sent out fully 60 per cent of their normal run for this time of the year. Government In spectors make the statement that the slaughtering Is a little above 60 per cent of the hernial tor the first week In August. Thursday lot cars of meat were shipped out, but this was the largest day since the strike and was above the average for this time of the year. Talk of a Settlement. ' Little is discussed among atrikera but an early settlement One enthusiastic strlket offered to wager 110 that ah agreement would be reached before sunrise today, but he found no takers. Great hopes are cen tering on Monday, - when It Is firmly be lieved the Chicago packers will summon President Donnelly and hla advisers to a conference. The men still remain firm and not a single desertion from the ranks has been 'reported at headquarters In South Omaha. Even the packers here do not claim to have taken any of their old man back. The reason for this is apparent, as none of those who went on strike have applied for positions in the plants here. All declare the visit of President Don nelly last " Sunday had a wonderful effeot on the men. His earnest address and his advice Impressed the strikers. They all claim they will stand by their colors until victory Is theirs. Reports of a reak In the union ranks at other packing centers are not seriously considered by the strikers here, as the statement Is openly made that such rumors are. sent out by the packers from Chicago with a view to inducing' a general break all along the line. ; Labor leaders still decline to gtve oat any information, asserting that there Is nothing new here, all eyes stllj being cen tered on the situation In Chicago, which la the storm center of the .strike. Even with ' only meager Information the men keep In good spirits, appear cheerful and are as confident of winning as on the day when the strike waa called. In faot, more confidence la displayed as the days go by, as the declaration la freely and openly made that the packers cannot keep up at the pace they are going for any great length of time, 1 The arrival of strikebreakers at the plants here was the only feature of the strike Saturday. Boveral consignments of men, aoout ruu in numoer, arrived and were divided between Swift's, Armour's and the Omaha, Cudahy . did not get any new men, but a couple of cars from the south and east ars looked for today. Strikers Do Not Interfere. No effort Is made by the strikers to Inter, fere with the new arrivals and such good order prevails that It appears almost use leas for the trains carrying strikebreakers to be aa heavily guarded by police and deputy sheriffs aa they are. Going into details, the packers assert there is no scarcity of men except skilled laborers, and this - class they are getting In a few at a time. Speaking collectively, the manrayrs say the hew men are be ginning to be of some value now and some are experienced enough to break in new comers. They further declare that the new forces are fairly well organised and that this Week the plants will be in fairly good operating condition. Last night aome of the strikebreakers on the way out of the plants, were hurried on their way a little by strikers, who let out a few yells, but there waa no violence. Business men and residents generally con tinue to congratulate the labor leaders and the men on the universally . good order that is being maintained. With fully 4,0O men on strike there las been practically no disturbance. Vlca President Vail and his associates advise ths men to keep awar from the packing houses, keep off the streets as much as possible and above all live within the law. That this advloe Is heeded Is shown by the few arrests made, ''strikebreakers quit Work at the plants every day. Some do not like the Idea of being termed "scabs," and Want to get out as quickly aa possible; others ars dis charged for Incompetency, but the ma jority of the men leaving the plants do so of their own aocord. All Have Little Cash. As the majority of the strikebreakers leaving the packing houses have a little money he strikers' treasury Is not called upon to gat the men out of the city,, as It waa during the first week or so, of the strike. -A goodly portion of the negroes shipped here from St. Louis have a. little money. Only a day or two ago a consignment of negro strikebreakers arrived at one of tbe plants Just before ths noon. hour. 'It wasn't tan minutes after thla bunch arrived," said one of the bosses, "before a big good natured looking negro got hold of a board and placed a U bill at each end of the board.

RETAILERS' SIDE0F THE STORY Master Batchers' Association Disputes the Allegations of the Packers. OMAHA, Aug. . To the Editor of The Bee: In your Issue of August t where your reporter had an Interview with Mr. Beaton, local manager for Armour A Co., Mr. Beaton sees fit to accuse the retail butchers of the city of charging exorbitant prices without cause.' He then goes so far aa to publish the statistics for 1901, 190 and 1904, but forgeta to give the reason for the high prices In 190L which waa caused by the decrease In natural produc tion. He quotes corn fed (which I presume he means beef) at I cents and he knows that the cheapest he caa sell that for Is 11 cents; pork loins at 11H cents, where tha price Is 1ZH cents. He also quotes dry salt meats at 11 cents In 190z and 74 cents In 1904. He forgets to state that the quotations of 11 cents lit dry salt English bellies, which consists of the cream of the hog, and for 1904 . he quotea dry salt clears at 74 cents, which Is the cheap est salt pork produced from the hog. He also forgets to state the reason the pack ers had advanced the price of beef from 8 cents to HVa cents, mutton from S cents to 1214 cents, pork loins from 10H cents to It cents and other cuts in proportion. Those advanced prices went into effect the after noon of the day of the strike. I cannot understand why Mr. Beaton would run Into the press, publishing the above without any cause. The butchers of Omaha- have been friendly to htm and he ought to have some consideration-for their welfare. Yours truly.. i .. ., ;.,..- MASTER BUTCHERS OF OMAHA. P. J. M NAMARA', President. NEGRO SHOOTS INTO LARGE CROWD Declares He la Set I'pon by Strikers at Kansas. City. KANSAS CITY, Aug. (.-During a riot near Swift's packing plant tonight John J.

Edwards, striker! aged a, years, shot through lung, seriously hurt, but will probably .recover. James Clinton, strikebreaker; aged 8 years, shot In left shoulder. Edward Wesley, U years; slight flesh wound In arm. After the shooting' a great crowd gath ered and the police had difficulty In pro tecting Willis from mob violence. Willis surrendered to th police, making no ef fort to eaoape, and waa taken to the oounty Jail. . . , According to a statement by Willis, he in oompany with Clinton and five other negro strikebreakers - were aet upon and stoned by a gang of atrikera soon after they left Bwlft's plant.
