Leading St. Petersburg Newspaper Com

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.

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

Washington of cases In which food stuffs

being delivered to private persons, or, bet

able to suggest some method guaranteeing

The editorial concludes ft follows:
"In view of the considerately discreet

desire of both sides to avoid exaggerating

both points of view into accord."
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

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 .

Early Settlement, bnt Packers Say
They Contemplate No Farther
Meeting; with Old Men.
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.

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

Dlsooye.-y was mads today that anony

written on the stationery of the Hotel

that the run was brought about as an

the vice president of th bank. Edward
Tilden Is at th heaj of th Libby, Mc
