Japan Anjtry at France.
TOKIO, April 21. (8:30 a. m.)-The Ja
panese regard the Kamranh bay Incident
with a growing feeling of resentment nnd
bitterness towards France. It is populaily
believed that the Kusuiun fleet Is still at
Kamranh bay nnd Is making the free uso
of the port. The demands for strong action
on the part of Japan Is greatly growing
louder. Political parties and other organi
sations are p'issing resolutions condemning
France's alleged violation of neutrality. It
la proposed to hold a great popular
demonstration. A former cabinet minister
discussing tha Incident today said: "We.
o,re kcely anxious to avoid Involving otheia,
but we are bound to protect our rights. If
France gives Russia the use of Karmranii
bay, why cannot England allow us to use
Hong Kong?"
Major Prince Cnrlnnton von Hohenzol
lern arrived at Mojl today from the head
quarters of the Japanese army, where he
has been the representative of Emperor
William.
General Prince Kanln accompanied
Prince Carl from Manchuria. The latter la
coming to Toklo.
Government la Silent.
The Japanese government continues to
maintain silence regarding the Kamranh
bay Incident and it is understood the dip
lomatic correspondence on the subject is
not concluded. It Is expected that France
will formally Investigate the situation at
Kamranh bay. In the meantime the party
leaders here are counselling the Japanese
press to use greater moderation and calm
ness and to await the outcome of the ne
gotiations. The assertions In the Paris press that
proofs of the presence of vessels of the
Russian squadron In Kamranh bay and a
violation of French neutrality are lacking
are sharply contradicted by the Japanese,
who assert that the evidence on the sub
ject Is conclusive.'
They sy that after all the question of
proof rests with France, who possesses the
evidence and whose neutrality has been
violated.
Premier Katsura and Foreign Minister
Komura were received In audience by the
emperor of Japan today.
Russia Denies Baying; Ships,
8T. PETERSBURG, April 21. The ad
miralty denies the reports circulated here
that Ruisla has bought several South
American warships through Paris inter
mediaries. 5:.i3 p. m.-The latest word of Admiral
Rojestvensky was the dispatch from the
agent of the finance ministry at Shanghai
saying that the squadron had passed
through the Straits of Formosa, but the
authority given by the agent for his state
ment Is considered doubtful. The Admiralty
professes a good deal of scepticism re
garding all the dispatches from the far
east reporting the location of Russian
vessels, pointing out that' false news Is
likely to be set afloat deliberately. The
officials here neither deny nor affirm the
report that Rojestvensky Is still at Kam
ranh bay.
The Foerlgn office displays no anxiety as
a result of the protests made by Japan
over the alleged violation of French neu
trality, expressing confidence that when
all the facts .aro known It will be found
that the Russians did not violate the neu
trality of France. Serious complications
are not anticipated.
The reiteration of the story that the
Russian protected cruiser Askold, Interned
at Shanghai, I taking on con! and prepar
ing to slip out is again denied. ,
Nothing has oeen heard of the fourth
division of the Russian squadron, com
manded by Admiral Nebogatoff. Most of
the naval men express the opinion that
Rojestvensky vill not await a Juncture
with Nebogatoff, but will allow this
weaker division to trail behind him.

TEAMSTERS DEMAND BOYCOTT
Chicago Employers Asked Jo Cease Bi'si
ness Relations with Ward fit Co.
REQUEST IS PROMPTLY REFUSED
A General strike of the 33.000 Drivers
JOmplnred In thlcs bo Will
Probably Begin Monday.
CHICAGO, April ZI.-The teamsters'
unions have Informed nil business houses
which have been delivering goods to Mont
gomery Ward & Co. that they must stop
or a general strike of all the union team
sters In Chlcngo will be called. It Is ex
pected that the demands of the union will
be without exception refused by the em
ployers. Committees representing the
unions called on a number of leading busi
ness houses late thl afternoon and in
formed them that they must at once cease
doing business with Montgomery Ward &
Co. or a strike would be called. In every
Instance they were Informed that the de
liveries of goods will be continued. They
were also told by the employers that as
members of the Employers' association It
was Impossible for them to refuse to
transact business with another member.
The committees that had called upon the
business men demanding a cessation of
business with Montgomery Ward & Co.
reported tonight to the teamsters' Joint
council. This body was In session until
nearly midnight. Instead of ordering a
strike It was decided that the committee
call upon the employers ngnln tomorrow
and renew the demand that was made to
night. It is not expected by anybody that
the answer of the employers will be any
different tomorrow from that given to
the unions tonight.
The sentiment nmong the 35,ono team
sters who form the union is said to be
overwhelmingly in favor of a strike un
less the employers offer some sort of a
compromise. The employers declare that
ths very nature of the dvmand made by
the teamsters makes any sort of a com
promise Impossible. It is not considered
probable that the strike, If called, will
be in effect boforo Monday.
CRISIS IN EQUITABLE
spokesman of the committee. To Mr.
Hendricks, the state superintendent of in
surance, Mr. Bowes reviewed the action
of the agents' convention in favor of mu
tuallzation, and then made an address.
He declared that the agents were In posi
tion to know what potlcy holders wanted.
The prevailing conditions had alarmed the
policy holders. The original plan of the
founder, he declared, contemplated mu
tunllzatlon. For the first time the question
of ownership of the vast surplus had
arisen. The time had come for a change,
nnd when the society could no longer be
regarded as the patrimony of one man.
He was Informed on reliable authority, he
ssiid, that thirty-eight or forty directors
do not own the requisite amount of stock
required by the charter. There is no ani
mosity among the agents against Mr. Hyde,
he s.ild, but a change must be made to
deprive him of the Immense power he
wields. The compromise affected was a
miserable one, which Is disappointing, the
realisation of which will be delayed by
litigation. The policy holders In the mean
time suffer. .
Mr. Hyde's qpfQhlon, he asserted, was
duo to sentiment, because of his descent
from the founder. For five years he had
been watched, helped and forgiven, until
sentiment was exhnusted.
K. A. Woods of Pittsburg and Archibald
Haines of Portland, Me., followed with
similar remarks.
Superintendent Hendricks In reply, said
that he had expressed himself clearly in
favor of mutualizatlon, and that he was
sure relief could be obtained by legislation.
He said that if Judgo Maddox decides In
the Lord suit that he has n power to put
in force the amended charter, an appeal
will be made to the court of appeals or to
the United States courts. He asserted that
he did not believe Hyde Interests instituted
the Lord suits. Mr. Lord is opposed to the
mutualizatlon plan, said Mr. Hendricks,
only because he believes his stock will be
Impaired by the amended charter. Mr.
Hendricks expressed himself In favor of
the proposition In the hands of the attorney
general concerning policy holders' rep
resentation upon the directorate, making
it only a question of time when policy
holders will be In control. In closing Mr.
Hendricks said: "And I will tell you, too,
that before I get through with this com
pany I will find out who are dummies. I
will find that out absolutely. You can rely
on this. When we get done we will tell
you the true condition of the society. I
can't tell how long it will be, whether days,
weeks or months, but It will b thoroughly
done. In the meantime tho Frick commit
tee has asked questions which will take
thirty or forty days to answer."
Superintendent Hemfrlcks' statements
were applauded by the agents, who this
afternoon left for Albuny, where they will
call upon Governor Hlggins tomorrow.

anil decided to take the matter into the
federal court. It is their wish, he said, to
have a receiver appointed snd the affairs
of the society ended so that the policy
holders may have a' Just distribution of
the funds and profits now on hand. No
further steps than the request in the bill
have teen taken for the appointment of a
receiver, but Attorney Schuyler said that
within a few days he will go Into court In
that connection.
The charge Is also made that the salaries
of the officers have been extravagant. In
addition attention Is called to the statutes
of the state of Illinois, which require that
life insurance companies doing business in
Illinois upon the principle of mutual Insur
ance may make distribution of their sur
plus funds, either annually or once in two,
three, four or five years, as the directors
may from time to time determine.
The complainants allege and charge
upon Information and belief that
the officers and directors of the
Equitable have omitted and failed for the
last ten years and upward, and still refuse
to distribute the surplus profits and the
surplus assets of the Kqultable and to de
clare a dividend thereon. All of which, It
Is held, Is to the great damage and detri
ment of the complainants and other policy
holders of the Equitable company. The
bill of complaint asserts that there never
has been a determination of the amount
of the surplus funds or surplus protlta of
the Equitable.
HYDE REPLIES TO GENERAL AGENTS
Fie Declines (o Henlitn and Telia Them
Ther Are Meddling.
NEW YORK, April a. James II. Hyde,
vice president of the Equitable Life As
surance uoclety, Issued a reply to the re
quest of the agents that he resign. He
declines to accede to the request and in
the course of his statement he said:
The plea of mutuallxation was a mere
sham undtr which it was designed by the
leaders to wrest the control of the Boclety
from the reBponslble hands of the most
representative body of directors in thin
country and to transfer it to their own
frraxp through the use of the agencies as
nstrumentulities.
I can understand the desire of your body
for mutuultsatinn, but I have never be
lieved, and I do not now believe, that a
sys.'em of control whieli virtually places
the agents over the directors and olllceia
is sound In principle.
I am Justified, in reminding you that the
matters upon Which you have aesumed to
act are matters not fur your consideiutlon
and action, but tor the consideration and
action uf the board of directors of the so
ciety. Theoe mutters are now in thflr
hands and the facts relutlng to them are
being definitely ascertained by ail Investi
gating committee appointed by the board.
To the board and to the committee 1 have
made a number of communications stutiug
the facts and expressing my views up.ai
these suntect. i do not feel at liberty to
further dlccuns them also to you. I tun
only say that 1 think you are making a

The Misery of Piles
Thousands know it and thousands daily
submit, through their ignorance, to the
torture of the knife.
They are ignorant of the fact that there
is an internal remedy that will positively
and painlessly cure.
Dr. Perrin's Pile Specific
The Internal Remedy
strikes at the prime causes of piles Indi
gestion, congestion of tho liver and consti
pation. These cause are removed and
removed for good. Get a bottle today and
see how well it proves the truth of this
statement.
i
For dyspepsia, Indigestion, constipation,
biliousness, catarrh of the stomach and
kindred ailments it is the greatest remedy
that has ever yet benefited mankind.
When these troubles are taken care of
and cured, Piles will be a thing of the past.
