decision to disarm . here. There Is no dispo
sition here , to -criticise the course of tho
United Spates 6 f ir as it Is revealed in
the press despatches.
Tho authorities here are In communica
tion with the Russian consul at San Fran
cisco and with the captain of the Lena, but
their information Is not yet complete
enough to' determlre the action to be taken.
Tho Foreign office expresses perfect confi
dence that the Washington government will
deal Justly with the case and apply the
rules of neutrality In an Impartial and
friendly spirit.
The fact that the Vladivostok prize court
has condemned the portion of the cargo of
the Kritinh steamer Calchas, captured by
the Vladivostok squadron while on her
way from Puget Sound ports to Japan,
bound for the Japanese ports is a natural
sequence of the Interpretation Of the
Russian prize regulations made by the
court in the case of the Portland & Asiatic
lln steamer Arsbla, also seised by the
Vladivostok squadron . and other vessels,
and does not affect the ultimate decision
by the admiralty court, which will put
Into effect the modifications nlready decided
upon in principle by the commission here
along the lines favorable to the American
and British contentions.
The decision of the Russian, government
in, regard to .contraband of war will prob
ably, be communicated to Ambassidor Mc
Cormlck and Hardlnge tomorrow. As an
nounced In thV dispatches of the Associated
Press, It will be favorable 'fo .the conten
tion that foodstuffs are conditional contra
band,! if addrvised to an enemy' unblocked
porta, where the ship's papers are regular
and the goods are consigned to private
persons or firms and not to a government
direct. The American .view regarding
some of the other points, however, is not
.conceded. For instance, it. Is believed .that
Russia will Insist on the contraband char
acter of railroad material.
Under, the application of this decision the
admiralty court here will reverse the de
cisions of the Vladivostok prize court In
tho case of the Arabia and Calchas.
A special dispatch from Vladivostok bays
the Calchas ha not yet been released, a
hitch having arisen over (h elalnl of the
JudgH advocate, ' Lieutenant 'Orrve, who
seized the Calchas, he contending that it is

' PARIS, Sept. ll.-yrhe correspondent of
the Eclio de Paris at St. Petersburg has
telegraphed to his paper as follows: ' ,
The ministry of marine tells -.me, regard
ing the arrival of the Russlau transport
Lena at San-Francisco, that another ves
sel, the Corea, is also due at an American
port on the Pacific. Orders have been sent
to the Russian ships to scrupulously con
form with the American neutrality rules,
which are expected to permit them taking
on enough coal to reach Vladivostok. I
consider the situation very ' delicate, a
there Is evidence that the ships were
destined to prevent the transport of con
traband goods from the United States to
Japan, and perhaps capture vessels carrying
contraband. .

London Dislikes Decision. .
'.' juONPON. Sept. I4.i-The Globe this after
Ijoon eays that the decision' of the Vladi
vostok prize court to. confiscate that por
tion of the cargo of . fhe. British; steamer
Calchas -consisting of flour, cotton and tint
ber, consigned to JapaX f confirmed by
the Russian supreme court amounts to a
complete Ignoring of the protest lodged by
Tlreat Britain at St. Petersburg against the
Inclusion of provisions in the Russian list
of contraband of war. The paper adds:
It has also been stated In behalf of his
majesty's government In the house of com
mons that raw cotton would only be
Regarded by Russia as contraband when
estined to make explosives. The mani
fest shows there were thirty-six bales of
cotton on board the Calchas consigned td
trading companies In Japan. The shipment
from America was also purely commercial.
The decision of tho prize court, If allowed
to pass Xjnchallanged by Great Britain,'
amounts to nothing less than a prohibi
tion of (commerce between, this country, and
Japan. . '.'

Esquimau harbor, making ready for sea
and will not finish Its gun practice at pres
ent .'The cause of the Grafton's return from
the trip from Comox Is connected with the
sudden appearance of the Russian armed
auxiliary cruiser,' Lena, fn 8an ' Francisco.
It Is understood the Grafton Is under cable
orders from the British admiralty to pro
tect British shipping on the American side
of the Pacific at all costs. It depends upon
the decision of the United States govern
ment regarding the Lfns, ' whether the
Grafton will proceed south to watch It, and
If any British merchantmen be molested,
capture and sink It.
Should the American government deci
sion be an order to the Lena to quit San
Francisco harbor within twenty-four hours,
It Is expected the Grnfton will leave Esqui
mau harbor at Its best speed with the ob
ject of intercepting the Russian ship off
the California coast. (
A significant circumstance connected
with the Grafton's sudden and unexpected
appearance in Esquimau is that all shore
leave has been Indefinitely suspended.
The big cruiser also maintains its bteam
pressure at unusual strength, as If ex
pecting to use It at a moment's notice.

Chinese Say. Soldiers at Port Arthnr
Lltr on Illnrk Bread.
CUE FOO, Sept. 15.-02:15 n. m.) A Chi
nose who left Llactl promontory on Sep
tember 10 says that the general assault on
the stronghold, which. In some quarters,
was reported would occur on the 10th. did
not take plnce. He declares that the Rus
sians are giving most of their attention to
the forts on the northeast line, which in
clude Rlhlungshan and Klkwnnshan. The
Russian soldiers ar living on black bread
and seldom get soup. There are only a few
head of cattle In Pori Arthur, and these are
reserved for the highest officials
Hardly a day pnsses that Lieutenant Gen
eral Stoessel, commander of tho Port Ar
thur forces, generally accompanied by Gen
eral nalnsl-off, does not ride over the entlro
line, having alterations made here and giv
ing suggestions there and complimenting or
censuring his troops. His Indefatigable en
ergy seems to sustain the spirits of the gar
rison, and this In spite of their hard fare
and tho sleeplessness which results from
being constantly on the qui vlve.
This Chinese says further thnt the Japa
nese have constructed a lnrgo fort on tho
north shore of Pigeon bay, to the west of
Port Arthur, using many Chinese laborers
In the work. There are sixteen large hos
pitals in Port -Arthur; and field hospitals
have been established nt every fort;
' The preparations for resistance nt the
northwest forts consist chiefly of the con
struction of trenches ani redoubts for the
outposts. ,
The Japanese bombardments of the
stronghold continue Intermlttlngly every
day. On September 9 the Japanese threw
shells Into Port Arthur, one of which
etrucK a, church and killed a Chinaman.

Admiral Walker Says I'nlted States
Cannot Admit the Contention

NEW YORK," Sept. 14 -Rear Admiral
Walker, the head of the Panama commis
sion, declared today on his arrival from
Colon that the United Status intended to
keep the two open ports In the cunal zone
in -spite of any protests which might be
made by the Panama government. He
added that he . did not anticipate any
trouble over the making of Ancon on the
Panama side tf tho isthmus and Chrlsto
bal, near Colon, free ports of entry. The
unfortunate part of the affair, Tie said, is
that it has got Into local politics. Of
course the outs have to protest against
what has been done by the Ins. I do not
think that the establishing of - the free
ports will mean that the Panama govern
ment will have, to patrol both aides of the
Canal strip with custom officials. I think
an agreement wi,U be made with them so
that we wlll'hulp them out. Goods brought
Into the strip will not be slowed to enter
Panama territory.
Rear Admiral Walker said that the
work of excavation was now proceeding
twice as fast and with less men and at
half the cost aa Under the French com
pany. Accompanying Rear Admiral Walker are
Commissioners Frank Hecker, William H.

White House. If some crisis should ar
rive and he would be waked at midnight he
would know Instantly what to do. No man
questions what he has done.
"I don't urge you to vote for Roosevelt
for what others have done, but for what he
has done. You know his record. It Is no
tltme to turn back. We must elect him and
we will."
A set of resolutions were presented to
Senator Foraker by the Union Nebraska
Commercial Travelers, formerly of Ohio,
expressing their plensure at hearing him
and pledging themselves to the republican
cause.
Senator Foraker, accompanied by Post
master Edward Slzer, who Joined him at
Omaha, came in from Chicago In his ppe
cial car over the Burlington this morning,
arriving here at 10:30. He was met at the
station by a committee conflating of Gov
ernor Mickey, Chairman Walter Roberts
of the county committee, Judge C. M.
Parker, former Congressman Strode, Ad
jutant General Culver and others. He was
taken to tho Lincoln hotel and after an In
formal reception, attended by a number of
citizens, the party drove to the state house,
where the remainder of the morning was
spent.
In the afternoon Senator Foraker was
taken for a drive over the city, and at his
own request was driven out to the Bryan
home. Those In the party besldei the sen
ator were Governor Mickey, ex-Congressman
J. B. Strode end Judge Parker.
Meets nn Old Friend.
As a customary Incident in the dally life
of a prominent man, Senator Forak.r ran
Into an old-tlma friend In Lincoln, who
knew him "before the war." The friend
was Daniel Webster Evans of University
Place, and he was down at the senator's
private car bright and early. Mr. Evans
was born within three miles of the Foraker
home, near HillHhoro, O., and knew the
senator well In the days of long ago.
The two men met In the senator's pri
vate car and as soon as they had shaken
hands Senator Foraker said: "Well, It's
my old friend. Web Evans."
"Old friend Web" beamed his pleasure at
the recognition and the two began a long
conversation of the boys and girls of the
old days.
After expressing a desire to see the horn
of W. J. Bryan, Senator Foraker paid a
nice tribute to the "peerless leader." "I
have a higher opinion of Mr. Bryan," he
said, "than many of his democratic breth
ren. I admire him for being a man of
ability and a man of principle. There Is
no question about his ability and there
Is no questlin that he stands for a prin
ciple I believe his prlncipl? to be wrong,
but still I think he Is sincere in what he
advocates. I can admire n man even
though he stands for a wrong principle if
he believes the principle is right. In my
opinion Mr. Bryan came out of the St.
Louis convention the biggest democrat In
the country. He fought a magnificent fight
for what he believed was right. He Is
different from the democratic nominee.
Judge Parker stands for nothing so far as
anyone knows. All he Intimates Is, 'Give
me the .office and I wll! take It, and tell
you what I advocate later." Mr. Bryan Is
not a democrat for office, but from prin
ciple."

FIDELITY PLAN VOTED DOWN
Bankers Association Will Not Insnre
Members Asralnat Dishonest
Employes.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. The feature of the
Initial session today of the thirtieth annual
convention of the American Bankers' asso
ciation in this city, was a spirited discus
sion of what has been known as the fidel
ity plan. This matter figured In the pro
ceedings of the! association's convention at
San Francisco last year and Involved the
question of the organization entering Into
the fidelity insurance. The debate was fol
lowed by a proposed amendment to thn
constitution, providing for tho appoint
ment of trustees by the executive council
of the body for the administration of a
fund to be termed, "The American Bank
ers' Guaranty Fund," this fund to bo de
voted to the insurance of members against
any dishonest acts by their employes. The
convention eventually voted the proposal
down.
The report of Secretary James B. Pranch
showed that during the last year the as
sociation's detective agents have captured
in different sections of the country seventy
five professional bank criminals, and that
fifty-four were' convicted. The report stited
that the work of the fidelity committee had
made a saving In the year of the cost of
fidelity bonds to the members to consider
ably over $150,000.
Twenty-eight chapters or the Institute of
Bank Clerks have been established during
the year by the committee on education.
WHEAT 0PTI0NS ARE LOWER
September Loses Fonr and Half
Cents on Failure of Frost to
Create Damnire.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 14 -Confllctlng re
ports of the damage last night, by frost
made the wheat market feverish and un
certain today. Apparently the frost prom
ised by the weather bureau did not ma
terialize In the northwest, owing to the
prevalence of winds and clouJi. A real I
calamity was thus avoided. December de- j
clined 2 cents from yesterday's close,
while September lost 4 cents.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14. Wheat today
closed l7iS2H cents below Tuesday and
corn cents down. It was figured out
that at Tuesday's best prices wheat In
New York was only a shade above an Im
port basis and that offers have already
been made here from India, although it I
questioned If wheat bought . In this way J
would grade contract on arrival. Flour
has advanced 15 to 15 cents a barrel.
