ST. PETERSBURG, May 5.-0:58 p. m.)-
Admlral Rojestvensky, according- to a high
naval authority, has sailed south to meet
the division of the Russian Second Pacific
squadron, commanded by Admiral Neboga

The admiralty has Information that
Japanese division of fast cruisers and tor
pedo boat destroyers was sent south for
the purpose, if possible, of crippling or
destroying Nebogatoff'a ships before they
could effect a Junction with those of Rojeat
vensky, and there is reason to believe that
tha Japanese took up a position in the
Straits of Sundy, through which Nebogatoft
originally Intended to make the passage
into the northern sea. There is also rea
on to ' believe that Nebogatoft first ap
proached the Straits of Sundy, but find

headed north for the Straits of Malacca,
his division lacking the protection of fast
cruisers and being at a great disadvantage

Tha admiralty expresses much gratlnc
tion at the fact that Admiral Nebogatoft
haa successfully reached the China sea, but
appreciates that the composition of his divl

a swift adversary, especially as tha crews
of his ships have not had the training In
maneuvering or the target practice which
Admiral Rojestvensky's crews had while
off the Island of Madagascar and the anx

Federal Grand Jury at New York
Looking Into Alleged Methods
of the Merger.
NEW YORK, May 8. It became known
today that the federal grand jury for some
time past has been conducting a secret In
vestlgatlon Into crJhi matters concern-
lng the Amerlcanfcwt'f 1 ico company and
Its subsidiary comj.k,ftifJ The Investigation
Is being made by iJiU W. Taft, brother

Taft Is authority for the' statement that
the investigation Is being made under the
anti-trust law.
The proceedings In the grand Jury room
were secret, but it became known that E,
F. Hale an officer of one of the subsidiary
companies, refused to answer questions
when he was called, taking the ground
that to do so would tend to incriminate and
degrade him and that the answers would
be too voluminous. When the grand Jury
filed a presentment In the circuit court
Hale was directed to reply to the questions.
It was through Hale's refusal to answer
questions that the investigation became
public.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May 6. (Special Tele
gram.) Senator Millard Is pushing the
candidacy of Charles J. Greene for tha
vacancy on the circuit bench In every con
ceivable way. Yesterday he revived papers
in the attorney general's office filed In be
half of Mr. Greene when the vacancy was
created by the retirement of Judge Cald
well, and will supplement these endorse
ments with others. Senator Millard, how
ever. Is afraid that promises have been
made to a Misaouiian for the Thayer suc
cession, although he knows how strongly
the president feels toward Mr. Greene. If
Mr. Greene Is to secure the appointment it
will be after Attorney General Moody is
won over to the cause of the Nebraskan.
George F. Bldwell, general manager of
the Nebraska-Wyoming line of the North
western, and wife, are In Washington in
attendance on the railway congress.
P. J. McShane of Omaha is In the city.
- Extending; Shoshone Project.
An opportunity has now arisen for the
extension of the Shoshone project and for
the utilization of all the waters of the
Shoshone river, which can be stored in
the proposed reservoir, about to be con
structed by the United States under the
reclamation act.
When Colonel Cody and the state re
linquished their claims under the Carey
act selection, along the river, If was
deemed advisable to retain for private de
velopment a portion of the segregation
lying south of the river, consisting of sev
eral tracts which were to be irrigated by
the Big Horn Basin Colonization company.
These Interests have become convinced that
their lands can be most satisfactorily de
veloped in connection with the reclamation
project to be constructed by the United
States reclamation service. Negotiations
are under way to obtain the benefit of the
government construction for these tracts,
amounting to about 46,000 acres. The mat
ter is now In the hands of the state offi
cials and officers of the corporation. If
they act promptly and put the proposition
in such shape as to eliminate any complica
tions to effect the government operations
they will doubtless see some of these lands
Irrigated from government reservoirs within
the next two years.

the northwest, particularly in North Da

the country ranging in depth from six
Inches to a foot.
General Superintendent Gilbert of the
Northern Pacifio stated that rotary snow
plows were used on some of the branches
to clear the tracks of snow. The running
of snow plows on these branches at this
time of the year breaks all previous rec
ords. The snow Is considered by farmers
a great blessing, as the ground was very
dry, and a good crop is looked for.

CHICAGO. May 6. The crisis in the
teamsters' strike Is expected to come to
morrow. The State street merchants have
decided to send out 1,100 wagons to make
deliveries in all parts of the city. As far
as possible these wngons will be guarded
by deputy sheriffs and In Borne cases by
the local police. Itf-wlll bo Impossible for
all of the wagons to be guarded by tha
deputy sheriffs, but it Is the Intention to
place two men on each wagon as far as tho
number of deputies already sworn In will
permit. ShorlfT Barrett had 200 deputies lit
servlco tonight and said he thought this
number would be ample for the work out
lined tomorrow. If it Is not. It Is said, he
will conclude that tho sheriff's office and
the local police are not able to control the
situation and a request will be made for
the stato militia.
May Call for Troops.
Governor Deneen has said that he will
order out tha troops If the request Is made
by Sheriff Barrett and upon the failure or
success of the attempt at retail deliveries to
be made tomorrow depends the coming of
the troops. Fifteen wagons were sent out
today by tho large dry goods and depart
ment stores, and all of them made deliv
eries without interruption. On each of
these wagons rode two deputy sheriffs. It
was the suocess of this attempt at deliver
ing goods that prompted the stores to de
cide to send out tomorrow practically their
full force of wagons.
Either because of the threatened appear
ance of the troops or because of the addi
tion to the police force' In the shape of
deputy sheriffs there was much less rioting
and fighting in the downtown streets today
than on any day this week. The wagons of
the express companies, each 6ne of which
carried a guard armed with . a rifle or
double-barrelled shotgun, went between the
depots and express offices without interrup
tion other than that of an occasional stone
thrown from the Bldewalk or some other
missile hurled from a window. There was
little of this, however, and tha wagons
were practically unmolested, t
-
Arrcat Waaron Followers.
An order Issued early in the day by Chief
of Police O'Nell directing that all persons
should be prevented from following up
wagons as they went through the streets
had much to do with the absence of riot
ing. In tho early days of the strike, when
the wagons of a boycotted firm passed
through the streets, they were followed by
hundreds of men and boys anxious to see
any fight that might occur. Of late, how
ever, these crowds of followers have bo
come more ugly in temper and have con
stituted one of the chief sources of trouble.
The police today turned back all groups
of men that they could discover In the
act of following wagons and there was
much less opportunity for riots. While
there was less rioting in the downtown
streets, there were numerous assaults com
mitted In all parts of the city remote from
the principal business section. Wherever
a crowd could find a wagon with a small
police guard or unprotected there was sure
to be trouble if ttte driver was a nonunion
man. In soveral cases the drivers were
badly beaten and their wagons overturned
and the goods stolen. In others the driv
ers escaped only by the fleetness of their
horses.
Many Women in One Mob.
Three coal wagons after making a de
livery at. the factory of Sell, Schwab A Co.
at Ohio and Kingsbury streets late this
afternoon were attacked by a crowd which
pursued them for more than half a mile,
raining stones, bricks and bottles upon the
polloe officers and the drivers. The riot
commenced when stones and bottles were,
thrown from the windows on the sixth floor
of the Schultz Paper Box company. This
was the signal for a general onslaught and
ml&siles were hurled from all Bides. Tha
police charged the crowd repeatedly, but
was unable to keep it back.
The mob was composed almost entirely
of young men and women, the latter taking
an active part in the rioting and urging the
men to further violence. As the caravan
passed Orleans street a large cannon
crackor was thrown from the crowd, ex
ploding under the feet of the teams. Tha
horses started to run away and were held
back with great difficulty by the police.
Edward Lashem, president of the Lashem
Teaming company, was attacked by a crowd
of union teamsters this afternoon at Mad
ison and Union streets and fearfully beaten.
Lashem was driving one of hlB own wagons
and was asked to show a union button.
Before he was given a chance to explain
that he was a team owner and therefore
Ineligible as a member of the Teamsters'
union, he was pulled from his wagon,
knocked down and kicked. Lieutenant
O'Connor of the police force, who was re
turning from another disturbance further
up the street, came to Lashem's assistant
In time to capture seven of his assailants,
Lashem's condition is serious.
List of Injured.
Among thoso seriously Injured during tha
day's rioting arc:

Sumuel Rout, colored driver. .
Harry Janileson.
Abraham Brittle.

William Vogt, union teamster.

The first call for the "able bodied" men
among the employes of tha city to aid in
the suppression of the rioting In tha streets
was made this I afternoon. One hundred
laborers ' from the water pipe extension
division of the city were this afternoon
ordered to report In tha morning at the
office of Superintendent Leveraon, and from
there will be marched to the office of chief
of police, where they will be sworn in as
apeulal policemen.
Sherld Barrett Hopeful.
Sheriff Barrett tonight took a more hope
ful view of the situation than he had htld
at any time today.' He expressed tho
belief that the crisis of the strike Is ovtr.
"I do not believe that conditions wll.
