ST. PETERSBURG, June 28.-2 a. m.
A rumor spread throughout the city lust
night that General Kouropatkln had been
killed. This rumor was connected some
times with a report that 70,000 Russians
had been out oft by General NogTa army
and that General Kouropatkln had been
taken prisoner.
Nothing confirmatory of these rumors
has been received by the general stall or

ST. PETERSBURG, June i7.-Tlie mili
tary experts take anything but a hopeful
view of General Llnevllch's situation. They
do not believe he can be surrounded, but
apparently the experts do not consider the
possibility of a Russian victory. Llne
vltch' retirement to Harbin and the Isola
tion of Vladivostok seem to be regarded
as foregone conclusions when Flold Mar

latest news from the "front, which Is
thlrty-elx hours old. Oyama, after forcing
back the Russian right and center, trans
ferred hla weight against the west, com
pelling the Russians to give ground there
also. The military critics, however, agree
that the frontal movement Is merely a
feint for the envelopment of one or both
of the Russian wings, without which noth

possible. The Impression Is that Oyama,

PEKING. June 27. The uueHtion of
Chinese exclusion from the United States
continues chiefly to occupy the attention
of the Chinese. The extent and depth of
the feeling astonishes foreigners and Is
regarded as an evidence of the growth of
a national sentiment of public spirit which
five years ago would have been Incon
ceivable. Among many instances cited as
evidence of this, it Is said that a Chinese
comprador has refused a lucrative ap
pointment with an American company.
Advertisements of American goods continue
to be refused by the native newspapers
and letters and telegrams from all parts
of China, aa well as from abroad, are be
ing received urging the central government
to take a firm stand.
The chief obstacle Is the qut'Btlon of
exclusion of coolies from Hawaii and the
Philippines. It Is urged that there Is no
reasonable objection to the landing of
coolies In Hawaii, where they do not com
pete with American labor, while Chinese
Immigration has long been established In
the Plilllpjtines.
These points the Chinese regard as es
sential, but It Is thought unlikely that
they will be conceded by the American
government, hence the apparent dead
lock. With a view of facilitating a set
tlement, China yesterday proposed to send
a special mission to Washington, but
American Minister Rockhlll declined to en
tertain the Idea. The Chinese deplore the
risking of American good will, but claim
to have genuine, legitimate grievances.
WOMAN MISTAKEN IN TOWNS
Searches for Bill Smith at Postofflce,
Thinking She Is In
Florence.
A kindly-faced woman of possibly 65 years
visited the Omaha postofflce Tuesday morn
ing and wandered about the corridor for
a while, and finally observing Watchman
Shugart asked him If it would be right for
her to ask him for a little information, as
she was a stranger in the city.
"Certainly," said . Mr. ' Shugart, "that's
what I am here for to answer questions."
'"Well, I am awful thankful," she said.
"You see, I was looking for Smith's name
on one of them little boxes, but, goodness
me, they ain't any names on 'em; they are
all Just numbers." , ,
"Maybe you had better ask at the general
delivery window up there, or the postmaster
probably could help you find his name."
So the bewildered woman went to the
general delivery window and asked for Mr.
Smith.
"His name is BUI Smith," she said. "It
seems to me that you'ns ought to know
Bill Smith. He's lived here ever since I
can remember."
Disappointed at not finding any one who
knew her Bill Smith she went back to
Watchman Shugart
"You see, it's sorter strange to me here.
I haven't been here for a good many years
and tho town has g rowed so. Who'd ever
thought that Florence would have growed
this big?"
"Why, bless you, madam, where do you
think you are?"
"Why, ain't this Florence?"
"No, no, this is Omaha."
"Well, I declare, I see I am getting old
and forgetful."
And the old woman went out of the build
ing muttering: "I'm getting old; I'm get
ting o'al."

Sacceaafnl, to Dispose of Orala
to Commission House
at Chicago.
WAHOO, Neb., June 26. (Sperlal Tele
gram; The taking of depositions In the
case of Thomas Worrall against the Omaha
Elevator company et al was commenced
In this city this morning before 11. GllkBuu,
notary public. Each side Is ably repre
sented. All of what Is called the trust
elevator -men, nearly thirty In number, In
the county, have been subpoenaed and are
expected to appeur here within the next
three days. An Interesting time Is prom
ised. The entire time today was devoted
In examining Trenniore Cone, the inde
pendent grain dealer of Wahoo, and as he
was at one time agent here for the Updike
people, seemed to be well posted as to the
business methods of the association eleva
tors. At the afternoon session the same wit
ness continued naming the parties that put
up the forfeits. He also,, in great detail,
described what Is called Irregular dealers
In grain, being grain dealers not owning
an elevator or a side track or a person
operating what Is called a Bcoop shovel
house, and persons or organizations hav
ing an elevntor on a side trick, but who
are unwjlllng to be bound by the agree
ment promulgated by the Nebraska Grain
Dealers' association.
The witness then explained the card sys
tem used In the elevator business and re
lated his experience along the line of try
ing to spII grain and gt bids from some
houses, among them Armour & Co. of Chi
cago. He made a photograph of his ele
vator, had It taken from a point where It
looked as If a railroad track ran to his
elevator, and the ruse worked for a few
shipments, until Armour & Co. learned
that he was not what was termed "a regu
lar," and his business was refused. Ho
tried Councilman of Chicago and others In
Kansas City, but they soon refused his
business. A representative from Armour
& Co. was sent to Wahoo to really seo
whether his elevator was on the track or
not, and when they found It was not they
notified him they could not do any more
business.
Another ruse the witness resorted to was
to ship the grain through some of the reg
ulars, but the association "got onto" that
and "the Jig was up."
Some Personal Experience.
Then the witness described a series of
persecutions, through which he went
briefly, as follows:
In the spring of 1903 I owed one of the
banks In this city aggregating Jl,6o0 to
Owl, due on demand, secured by u mort
gage on my elevator. It was understood
between them and me that this was a per
manent loan, and this money was Invested
in grain, coal and other materials with
which I was dolnir business. I he bank
knew exactly the condition of my business,
whether 1 was gaining or losing, and I
never lost money on but three cars of grain
In my life. One oy this money was an
demanded at once; they knew 1 could not
pay that day, ana in a tew days mat paper
came through the First National bank of
tills city for collection from u. bank In
Omaha. I told them 1 could not pay It
then, but would do so In a short time. The
paper went duck ana in a lew aays it was
uiemmted to me attain through Saunders
County bank of this city tor collection. It
came through another bank In Omaha, and
the cashier told me It was sent tnrougn the
Westbrooke-Gibbon Grain company, with
Instructions that If I did not pay at once to
put It in the hands or the Pest lawyer in

a man callea me up irom iioiarege anu
wanted me to meet him in .Lincoln ana
talk over some trivial matter. I found out
who he was and was leary or mm. i
told him If ho wanted to see me to come
to Wahoo. He then said he had some de
mand caper and he wanted it paid at once
or he would start foreclosure. These things
dragged along for a few days, and in tlio
meantime J was - scraicmiiK

State's Witnesses Fall to

Ex-United States Commissioner Thomas
. Sloan, charged .with submitting a false
report to tho government of certain finan
cial transactions while he wm United
States commissioner, will not be tried until
October. The trial will then take place at
.Incoln.
Such was the ruling made by Judge Mun-
ger In the liuim states district' court
Tuesday morning'. ' The cause for the delay
was the expressed Inability of the govern
ment to produce easontlal witnesses In time
for trial at this tet-m, It having been shown
that the witnesses needed had gone to the
Bouth Dakota wheat fields or elsewhere to
work and that the United States marshal
was unable to serve the necessary sub
poenas.
Mr. Sloan was in court with his attorney
ready for trial. Judge Baxter, district at
torney, stated tfiat If It should be ascer
tained that these essential witnesses could
not be found, the case would not come to
trial, though the government had used
every diligence to locate them.
Judge Munger thereupon set the date for
Sloan's trial for tho first Jury case at the
October term of the federal court to be
held at Lincoln.

CHICAGO, June 27. Action which may

records of birth in order to prevent Im
proper practices was begun at today's ses
sion of the annual convention of the Amer
ican Institute of Homeopathy. The subject
was brought up by Dr. D. A. Foote of
Omaha, who read a paper reviewing the
field of obstetrics.
It Is time that our profession awakened
to Its duty," said Dr. Foote. "The laws of
the country are explicit and drastic In this
matter, but are evaded by selfish and vic

persons are aided by knaves who pass as
physicians. Publicity Is the only cure for
this evil."

The tenor of the speeches throughout the

We must not use force to sustain the
union, which Is valueless to us under ex
isting conditions, but the Riksdag does not
recognize the Ulpgul and revolutionary
breach of the union and does not recognize
Norway as a sovereign state. Sweden's
representatives must consider Sweden's
safety and this can only be done through a
cabinet having the full confidence of tho
Riksdag.
Hill Severely Criticised.
Herr Hammarnkjold said that the action
of the Norwegian Storthing waa revolution
ary, but it had raised such a storm of In
dignation In Sweden that all parties had
rallied to the support of King Oscar, as
suring him that Sweden would remain
faithful even though Norway had proved
false. Sweden, he said, had received a
blow in the face which had awakened the
people from their lethargy and they de
manded different action from that taken
by the cabinet. The people were disap
pointed at the cabinet's wavering propo
sals. The bill, he said, was much too
moderate and should have strenuously
censured the Storthing. In conclusion
Herr Hammarskjold said that the cabinet
and the Parliament must understand each
other and the cabinet's proposal to open
negotiations with Norway was not accept
able to the people of Sweden.
Pastor Waldenstrom, speaking In the
house, said he was willing to remit the
bill In order to prevent hasty repressions
in debate, but the union with Norway
amounted to nothing. He said that In
Norwegian schools In recent years tho
children had been taught to bate Sweden
and continued:
I am against war, but It may have to
come as a last resort. Norway's action
amounts to revolution and should be
treated accordingly as a deadly Insult to
6weden. The government's nrononltlon
opens up the probability of war. Its weak
ness nes in me ract that Norway having
broken the union Is liable to break treaties.
Threatens Kins; Oscar.
Bnron Kennedy, speaking in the senate,
said:
If the klng'i
opinion, he has
or one.
This remark waa greeted with . great
cheering by the anti-government members.
Baron Kennedy said he repudiated the
Idea of a conference with the rebellious
Storthing. Sweden must enforce her con
ditions, and put behind the king all the
resources of the country In order to pro
tect Sweden's honor by war if necessary.
The baron said that every man In Sweden
was ready to give his life to protect the
honor and glory of the country.
Judge Kronlund attacked the speech of
Baron Kennedy and said that the utter
ances were treasonable. He expressed his
sorrow that a small nation like Norway
had so little forethought, - and urged the
selection of a cabinet which would act
promptly and sensibly In the Interest of the
whole Scandinavian peninsula.
Minister of Justice Berger, in the house,
defended the cabinet and said that Sweden
did not with to force Norway unwillingly
into a union. Such action would mean a
succession of rebellolns which Sweden
would have to suppress. It would be use
less, he said, to submit the question to
the Norwegian people, who more than ever
were determined to break away from the
union. If Sweden had at firs', laid aowri
conditions and Norway refused to accept
them, there would have been no recourse
for Sweden but that of war. The minister
defended the action of the government and
said It would have been feeble Indeed if
they had yielded to the popular clamor for
war In some quarters.
Herren Renedlcks and Lars Berg spoke
along similar lines. Professor Trigger, in
the senate, said that Sweden's political
union waa bankrupt because even now
people feared to characterize actions by
their proper names. The ministry should
not propose such a bill. Sweden would be
better off alone, but Norway ought to ask
Sweden's assent accompanied by the as
surance of the Storthing that It would ac
cept Sweden's conditions.
Premier Ramstedt then spoke. He said:
After June 7, Sweden had two alterna
tives one that of force, and the other to
reluctantly accept dissolution. Nobody
openly advocated force, but some persons
advanced a procwaure wiutu woum ulti
mately lead to war. The object of war
would be to compel Norway to retrace Its
action, but anger must not hllnd us to our
own interests and our Interests are against
forcing Norway Into any Kind ot a union,
A conquered Norway, while of no advan
t,,i?B would forever be a source of danger
Add to this the horrors of war, and their
enfeebling results all arguments against
ho nir.lnvment of force. If not force.
then It ts best to assist me aissoiuiion 01

the future safety ot tne peninsula ae

In conclusion the premier declined to
answer crltlciums 01 me ministry oeyonu

CHICAGO, June 27. The spread of the
teamsters' strike, to Include 1.000 drivers
of local express ond small delivery wagons,
w-tts a possibility today. An ultimatum al
ready had been delivered by the teaiiiHters
and the employers called a special meeting
this afternoon to return an answer. Senti
ment waa strongly In favor of a fight.
The trouble with the delivery drivers
started when a wagon belonging to Page
Bros. Express company hauled a load of
tobacco to a strike-affected firm. President
Shea Immediately sent a committee to wait
upon the express concern with a demand
that deliveries to strlko-affected firms
cease.
The Page Bros, company Is a member
of the Furniture Movers and Expressmen's
association, comprising 2u0 employers and
nearly 1,000 teams In the city. The union
committee threatened to call a strike
against the entire association.
The ralHlng of money with which to con
duct the strike Is giving the teamsters'
leaders grave concern. President Shea has
Issued an appeal to all the Chicago locals
to meet at once and take up tho matter
of funds.
Three hundred former employes of the
American Express company attacked a
wagon of the company driven by John E.
James last night. James was struck on
the head with a brick and probably fatally
Injured. Four arrests were made.
8 hen to Be Removed.
The Post says that the formal removal
of International President C. P. Shea of
the Brotherhood of Teamsters has been
decided upon by the International
executive board. The anti-Shea lead
ers in the committee practically
have voted to depose the leader.
A "trial" has been held and President
Shea has been found guilty of violating the
constitution and bylaws ofr the teamsters'
organization. There Is no appeal from tho
action of the International committee. It
is planned promptly to announce tho finding
of "guilty" and to declare the office of
president vacant until Shea's successor
shall be elected in Philadelphia In August.
For weeks the International board has
been opposed to Shea and hlB methods.
Fear that the move to depose the leader
would make him a "martyr" among the
rank and file and Insure his re-election as
presldont caused members of the board to
postpone . their action. Last night's un
equivocal vote 0 tho department store
drivers and the striking express wagon
drivers against accepting the latest settle
ment offers cf the employers and tho palpa
ble return to power of leadership of Shea,
so far as the rank and file of the team
sters is concerned, determined the board
to act.
Charge Aaralnat Shea.
The specific charge against President
Shea Is calling a strike contrary to the
constitution and making expenditures of
the brotherhood'a money contrary to the
terms of the constitution and bylaws.
M. J. Dwyer, a member of the interna
tional board, who has not been In Chicago
since the board was summoned to meet
here dally to help in managing the strike,
is likewise under suspension. He was
tried by his colleagues of the board and de
nied the right to sit In the councils of the
teamsters. The law of the Teamsters"
union gives the teamsters the right to de
clare Shea's place vacant.
'I don't think they will do It," was the
reply of President Shea when asked about
tho reported action of the board. "But
what If they do? Will that settle the
strike? Are not the rank and file of team
sters determined that they will have an
honorable settlement or none? I might be
re-elected or I might take up one of tho
several offers that have been made to me."
Investigations of the teamsters' organlo
laws reveals the fact that it provides that
locals shall vote, using "paper ballots," on
the proposition to call a strike. The In
ternational board holds that the sympa
thetic strike was called April 16. not by
that method, but by verbal oilers. The
board members do not charge Mr. Shea
with dishonesty In handling the union
funds, but simply that his orders brought .
about expenditures that had to be made
on account of calling a strike Illegally. '
'If I thought a general strike would win
I don't think there would be much trouble
In getting one," said President Shea today.
But I have held back on this because It
would Injure the business of the employers
who have been fair to the teamsters. No
Btrike must be called unless It will work
to the advantage of the large per cent of 1
union workers."
Meanwhile the menace of a strike In
volving the 1,000 express and furniture
movers has not been removed from the
situation.
