Mate fin Into Conrt. Another phase of the controversy between the states of Louisiana and Mississippi has developed In the fl'.'ng of writs of ejectment and Injunction against the Mississippi mili tia In the federal courts. , The suit was brought by Albert Baldwin banker and capitalist of this city. Mr. Baldwin seeks to enjoin the Mississippi sol diers from taking possession of his Ashing and hunting lodge on Pdart river. It seems that permission was asked to occupy the place for the militia during guard duty on the border and It was refused. The troops answered that unless granted permission in a certain time they would break open the place. " Yesterday they broke in and Mr. Baldwin - decided to bring suit.

It was found today that a man named Blunt, claiming to be In charge of the Mississippi patrol In those waters, had Btationed himself on the bridge armed with two shot guns and kept the brldgekeeper from opening the draw to allow boats to pasB out from Lake Pont chartraln Into Luke Borgne. Many other complaints also have been received. There are eighteen boats now at Ship Island which were captured by the patrol and towed by the Revenue Cutter Winona to Ship Island quarantine station. It Is claimed that every one of these vessels was taken In Louisiana waters. Another complication has developed In the same connection. The British ship Brayhrad. after completing Its cargo In New Orleans, stopped at the Mississippi side of the Lake Borgne canal to get a deck load of timber, but the Mississippi boats absolutely refused to allow a tug to go to the mouth of Fcarl river to get the barge and rafts. The Brayhead had to leave without the cargo, and the agents and the owners will lay the matter before the British government.

Governor Blanchard today wired to Sec retary of the Treasury Shaw a vigorous protest against the Interference of the rev enue cutter Winona with Louisiana fishing boats. He advised the secretary that the Winona has been guilty of Interference with the rights of Louisiana boats on navigable waters of the United States and Is appar ently assisting the Mississippi quarantine patrol boats in Interfering with Louisiana citizens. The governor requested prompt action to stop these practices and asked for the release of the boats held by the Winona. The governor also wired the collector of customs at Blloxl, under whose Jurisdiction the Winona Is, demanding the release of Louisiana boats said to be held by the revenue cutter. A similar, dispatch was Bent by the gov ernor to the otllcer In charge of the United States marine service on Ship Island. The lutter was asked by what authority he was holding the Louisiana bouts, the re lease of which is demanded. No reply has been received to these telegrams. uval Reserves Called Oat. Governor Blanchard today Issued orders to Captain J. W.

He added: The small boats that went Into I-nk Borgne and to the mouth of Lake Borgne Inlet were probably under the state and local authorities of Mississippi. Surgeon Waadln of the public health and marine hospital service Is assisting In protecting the towns of the gulf coast of Mississippi In accordance with the request of the au thorities of that state.

J , has not returned to his home there, and there Is considerable speculation as to his whereabouts. Allen M.

TWO CAMPS IN EMPEROR'S COUNCIL Reactionaries Hearted by Pobedon osetselT Say the Present is Xo Time to Discuss Changes. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. . 2:58 a. m. There was no session yesterday of the commission which has under considera tion the national assembly scheme. Em peror Nicholas will preside at the second meeting which will be held this afternoon. At the first meeting on Tuesday the Im perial palace at Feterhof was the battle ground of the contending forces In the matter of reform. For five hours, taking advantage of the emperor's request, -there was the freetst and frankest discussion of the situation and the needs of Russia. The respective members of the two camps pre sented arguments before the emperor In a series of speeches which left little time for the actual consideration of the details of the project, which will be elaborated by the council of ministers. Onposlns; Forces Meet. Almost a Bcore of tbe members of the conference took an active part In the dis cussion. M. Boullgln, minister of the In terior; General Trepoff, assistant minister of the committee; Count Ignatleff. member of the council of the empire; Count Sol sky, president of the economic department of the commute of ministers, and Frlnce Hllkoff, minister of railroads and communi cations, were the leading advocates of Im mediate reform and the convocation of the representatives of the people, while under the banner of the old order, M. Pobedo nostseff, procurator general of the Holy Synod, faithful to the traditions of a life time, who had arrayed with him Count Lnmsdorff, minister of foreign affairs; M. Manukhln, minister of Justice; M. Schwan abach. minister of agriculture; General Lobko, controller general, and Baron Fred ericks, Count Marshal, who Insisted that the present, with the war abroad and the disorders at home, was no time to sum mon a popular assembly or Institute sweep ing changes In the government of the em pire. The partisans of reform were In the ma jority, Including, besides the leaders al ready mentioned, many members of the council of state. Speech of Const Ignatleff. The feature of the meeting Is said to have been a sensational speech delivered by Count Ignatleff. who bad been sent by the emperor to Investigate the situation in the south after the mutiny on the battle Bhlp Knlax Potemklne, and who declared In plain, clear-cut sentences that the con ditions there made immediate and exten sive reforms imperative. At the same time he declared order must be preserved and the agitators kept within bounds with a firm hand. General Trepoff, Minister Boullgln and Count Solsky also emphasized the neces sity of adopting firm measures while In stituting reforms. Other progresslvlsts dwelt more upon the necessity of the Im mediate convocation of the people. Three of the ministers, Lieutenant Gen eral Rudlgler, minister of war; M. Glasoff, minister of education, and M. Kokosvsoff, minister of finance1, did not commit them selves, and four of the grand dukes present avoided taking active part In the discus sion. ,". When the peech-maklng was finally ended and tbe altitude, of the council mani fested, consideration of the Boullgln propo sition was taken up and this discussion will be continued at today's meeting at Feter hof. The Associated Tress Is Informed that as yet no Important decision has been taken and the general impression Is that the commission will not finish Its labors with out at least one or two more sessions. W1TIE REACHES NEW YORK (Continued from First Page.) forces for more than bIx months. How ever, even as the things stand, the Japa nese have not made such progress as Is generally believed. In fact, they would have to advance four times as much as they have done in the last year and a half to reach Russia proper. In which case alone they might consider themselves In a position to Impose such conditions of peace. But they are very far from this and the4 more iney anvance norm, ine more me re sjiectlve conditions of the Russians and Japanese will be reversed. According to the Russian plenipotentiary those who do not know Russia well oppose to these reasons the spectre of Internal conditions of the empire. Imagining all kinds of cataclysms, but even about this they are mistaken. M. Wltte did not wish to discuss at this time the events in Russia, affirming, however, that they have not the character nor the gravity attributed to them, nor can they bring about the con sequences which have been supposed, partly by those prejudiced against Russia and partly by those Ignorant of Russian inter nal affairs. What s going on In the Mus covite empire, he said, cannot have an influence on its foreign policy and even less on the continuation or cessation of the war. M Wltte Indicated that he does not mean to say that he will not make every possible effort to wards peace, adding that he Is favorable to peace as a Russian and as a man, hav ing always worked to prevent war and un derstanding that at present nearly the en tire world desires the end of the conflict. However, he feels that to reach this sub ject it is necessary that the Japanese should be prompted by the same feelings; that they should be convinced that for Russia It Is desirable, but Is not at all indlspenslble, and that consequently it will never accept any condition which ap parently may offend Its "amour propre M. Wltte repeated that he will honestly do ell that his conscience may suggest to bring about If possible an agreement which may be equally satisfactory to the inter ested nations. After having done this, no matter what the results may be, M. Wltte feels that he will have accomplished his duty. Japs Hefuse to Comment. At the headquarters of the Japanese peace commissioners tonight no comment was made upon the Associated Press in tervtew with M. Witle. Almar Sato, who has met all interviewers since the Japan ese delegation arrived in New York, said tonight that Baron Komura would make no statement at this time, and from a per sonal standpoint he (Sato) thought that to make any statement or comment at all would be entering tbe controversy prema turely.
