PORT SAID, Egypt. Sept. 26.. A serious
stoppage of traffic on tha Sues canal Is
threatened owing to the necessity for the
blowing up of the British steamer Chatham,
which was sunk on September owing to
ths fact that it wee on Ore and that the
flames threatened to reach a quantity of
dynamite whloh formed part of Its cargo.
Since that time the wreck has obstructed
tha waterway, especially at night, as the
, wreck Is submerged. Divers tomorrow will
place cases of blasting gelatine in the hold
of the Chatham. These will be connected
with an electric battery ashore and the
eighty tons of dynamite In the wreck will
be exploded Thursday irofnlng.
An expert from the Nobel company, who
is conducting the operations says It Is Im
possible to predict tha amount of mischief
that will ensue from the great upheaval or
to what extent traffla will be Impeded. . He
says there is no precedent to show ths
effect of tha explosion et such an amount
of dynamite. '. ;
The Sues Canal company declares It Is
impossible to estimate .the tength of time

experts am confident It will only be a mat

WASHINGTON, Sept. J.-(Speelat.)-It
ia learned on very high authority that the
controlling force which Induced Japan to
abandon its demand for Indemnity In the
Portsmouth conference was Wall street. It
will be recalled that a number of the fore
most bankers of the United States went
directly or through representatlvee to
Portsmouth during the final days of the
conference. These men went as the spokes
men for the greatest banking houses In the
world. In fact. It may be said that they
represented every large money lender on
the face of the earth. They pointed out to
the Mikado's envoys that Insistence upon
payment of tha cost of the war by Russia
would certainly result In a continuance
of hostilities and that the expense to Japan
would surely foot up hundreds of millolnS
more. Japan has reached her limit of abil
ity to pay Interest Her bonds today are
selling in the markets of the world at a
heavy discount. These bankers demand a
reasonable amount of certainty of repay
ment of principal aa well as Interest before
they will consent to float a large loan. The
talk was plain and the meaning of the
bankers clear. Practically, Wall street
said to Japan: "We are near the limit of
our willingness to advance money to you.
If you Insist upon carrying on this war you
will find difficulty In obtaining future
loans, and the Issue of your bonds already
floated will certainly depreciate In value.
Consequently, Japan's credit Is threatened."
It Is believed that the attitude of the bank
ers of the world as set forth to Baron Ko
mura and Minister Takahlra has as much
to do with the abandonment of the demand
for a money Indemnity as any other cause,
perhaps a great deal more.
Yoangr Officers Popular.
The president has again done the grace
ful thing and one which will make the
social features of his administration more
popular than ever, especially among the
southern people who flock to Washington
for the winter season. He has ordered
Captain Fltshugh Lee detailed aa one of
his aids, at the White House. Captain
Lee, who Is attached to the Seventh cav
alry. Is a great nephew of the late Robert
E. Lee, the Idol of every man who wore
the gray and of every woman who prayed
for the success of the lost cause. In his
new detail he will be associated with
Lieutenant U. S. Grant, Sd. son of General
Frederick Dent Grant, and grandson of the
man to whom General Lee surrendered at
Appomattox. These young officers are both
attached to the official staff of Colonel
Bromwell, who Is officially designated as
superintendent of United States buildings
and grounds. In' that capacity Colonel
Bromwell has charge of all arrangements
for the official receptions at the White
House and the young officers will, as a con
sequence, become Important factors In si!
the functions of the social season at the
White House. The action of the president
In causing Captain Lee to be detailed for
this pleasant duty will be keenly ap.
predated by the southern people,
Aajltatlon for Canteen.
Cumulative testimony as to the evils
which have resulted In the army from the
abolition' of fhe canteen "will be placed be
fore congress this winter and another ef
fort, will be made to correct -the folly of
that action. The latest report comes from
General Fred D. Grant, who In his annual
report to the secretary of war shows to
the satisfaction of all except those who
won't be convinced that the deprivation of
the right to enjoy his beer is resented by
the soldier, who shows his resentment by
filling up upon vile poison whenever he
can get to a Joint outside an army post,
The general also adds his testimony to the !
effect that thousands of these lowest kind
of dives have sprung up In the vicinity of
every army post and that desertion and
arrests for drunkenness have multiplied
alarmingly since the anti-canteen law was
enacted.
The opponents of the canteen In con
gress have Insisted that not enough time
has elapsed since the enactment of the
prohibitory statute to test Its effectiveness.
But each year the number of the most
prominent officers of the army have added
to the evidence which ahows that In their
efforts to promote temperance In the army
ths well meaning, but misguided, friends
of the American soldier have simply made
a score of gin mills flourish where none
existed before. It has been common to
hear these people Insist that the brewers
snd wholesale dealers were the real people
behind the movement to reopen the can
teens. Inasmuch as the testimony of com
manding officers of nearly every post In
the country shows that the brewers and
wholesale liquor dealers are the Indirect
beneficiaries of the anti-canteen law ths
absurdity of this charge Is apparent.
Congress will take up this question again
this winter, but the fear of antagonising
the votes of the temperance people Just
previous to a congresslsonal campaign will
doubtless lead to a postponement of the
consideration for another year. In order "to
give the law a fair test." And yet there
are not twenty members of congress who
are not convinced that an error was made
when ths anti-canteen law waa placed on
ths statute books.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

on the city hall reviewing atand for the
Ak-Bar-Ben parades. In the past a struc
ture, costing about has been erected
and the tickets to the several hundred
seats parcelled out among the mayor and
other city officers. This year the stand Is
to cost not more thsn $125, according to a
resolution sdopted, and this Including the
lumber which will be t used later by the
street department. It is to be for the ex
clusive use of the mayor and his guests.
His honor will be the sole arbiter as to
who gets on ths platform and there will
not be room for many. Councilman Back
fought against even this much of a stand.
"I couldn't get all the tickets I wanted
last year." said be. "I don't think we
ought to have a stand."
Councilman Huntlnaton Protested, sav-
Ing such talk was "niggardly" and that as
usual the Judges and, reviewing officers of
tha parades would take positions at the city
hall and the customary ceremonies per
formed there. Back agreed to vote for
the resolution on the assurance of Nichol
son that the mayor and the mayor only
would have Jurisdiction.
For Safety tn Balldlnsr.
That the death of a laborer on tha Crane
company building at Tenth and Harney
streets would hsve been prevented had the
city had an ordinance requiring the con
structlon of false floors In structures as
rapidly aa they are erected, was the in
ferential charge made by a letter from the
Bricklayer's union. Tiie union asks an
ordinance covering the subject of build
ings more than two. stories In height. It
was stated that before the accident oc-
currel a committee waited on the building
inspector and asked him to require contrac
tors to put In the floors ss rapidly aa
the successive stories of buildings were
reached. The Inspector replied that there
waa no law on the point but that he would
do what he Could. He Issued orders and
contractors made some effort at comply
ing. The Crane building, however, lacked
the false floors and the laborer wheeling
pricks was dashed to death, falling a dis
tance of stxty-nva feet.
A resolution waa adopted requiring tha
street commissioner to keep the carnival
grounds in clean and sanitary condition,
the city" to stand one-half the cost and
Ak-8ar-Ben the other half. The city hall
was ordered ' decorated with Km, an
bunting 'at a, coat, not to exceed $50.
rnvor for Street Railway.
Councilman Evans Introduced an ordi
nance to amend the electric light, heat and
power wlre'clrcuit ordinance so as to ex
tend the time when these wires must be
underground in the business district, to
October 1, 1906. He explained that the Idea
was to give the street railway Company
more time to bury the wires it uses to
transmit current for private lighting and
power purposes, as the company cannot
perform the task this fall.
H. O. Foster and A. T. Livingston were
appointed Inspectors on contract paving.
The council Adjourned, to 2 o'clock todny,
when the ordinance to appropriate $4,000
for the emergency" repair of unpaved streets
will be passed. Councilman Back said that

REPORT OF WEATHER BUREAU
Temperature of Week Generally Fa.
vorable to tho Matnrlngr
f Corn.
WASHINGTON, Sept. K.-The weather
bureau in Ita weekly bulletin summarises
crop conditions as follows:
The temperature during the week ending
September 2 waa favorable throughout the
country, being nearly everywhere above
the normal. Rains- caused some damage
In portions of tha Missouri and upper
Mississippi valleys, while a considerable
part of the south Atlantic and gulf states
Is In need of ralm. Damaging treats oo
curred in the middle Rocky mountain
regions and light frosts, with little or no
Injury, in portions of the lower lake
region and Interior of the middle Atlantlo
states.
Except In limited portions of ths Mis
souri valley, corn has experienced a week
of conditions highly favorable for matur
ing the crop, from 76 to 90 per cent of
which is now safe from frost. The re
mainder will require only about a week
of favorable weather. In Nebraska con
siderable corn has been blown down by high
winds, but this will only make harvesting
more difficult, without reducing the yield.
Some corn shocked in Missouri snd Kan
sas has been damaged by moisture, due
largely to ralna of the previous week.
Threshing of spring wheat In the Da
kota and Minnesota was Interrupted by
rains during the ftrst half of the week,
but shock threshing and stacking are not
yet flnlaked. In the Dakotaa the yield and
quality are variable and generally disap
pointing. The reports Indicate but little change In
the condition of cotton In South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma and Indian
Territories, a slight improvement In North
Carolina, Missouri. Arkansas and north
eastern Texas, and more or leas deteriora
tion In other pertlons of the cotton belt,
although there is decidedly less complaint
of rust snd shedding In the central and
In portions of the eastern districts. Pick
ing In Texas was Interrupted to some ex
tent by rain, but this work has been active
under generally favorable conditions In ail
districts exuept In the north central belt,
where It is not yet general. Picking la
nearing completion in portions of Georgia,
Louisiana and extreme southern Texas.
Some Injury to housed tobacco by moist
weather la reported from portions of the
middle Atlantic states and New England,
but elsewhere the reports respecting this
crop are favorable.
No Improvement In the apple outlook la
Indicated, an Inferior crop being reported
from practically all the important apple
producing stales.
A poor crop of potatoes Is generally In
dicated. . .

.... Experience of British. . '
LONDON, Sept. 26.-Interestlng Incidents
of the experiences of the Englishmen con
nected with the oil Industry at Baku are
reaching their relatives In England. Wil
liams, one of four Englishmen rescued
from a mob at Balakhan, writes that the
stories of the horrors glvs but feeble Idea
of the actual occurrences. He adds:
I was shut up In my place at Zabrat for
five days without any water, except naixan
(local mineral water). All the people here
were crying and fainting. All around were
fires and rifle shots. Ten Armenians were
killed out of those In our own yard. Tou
could not walk a yard without several
shots being fired at you. We tried to save
the wounded, but the shooting was too
good and we had to give up the attempt.
Edward MacCallum, another rescued
British subject, fully confirms the stories
of massacre, burning and pillage. After
describing the commencement of the out
break September t. when the Armenians
massacred 300 Tartars, he describes how
during the night of September Tartars
entered the workmen's barracks at Ro
manl and massacred everybody In them
within an hour. Five hundred Tartars sur
rounded the works where MacCallum was
ststtoned and forced him to give up the
Armenians hiding on the premises.
"Fourteen of these were butchered In our
own yard with fiendish brutality," he says.
"One man had his entire stomach cut out.
The band sacked the neighborhood In the
most systematic manner. They had carts
ready to take away their plunder to. the
Tartar villages. Fifty Cossacks, with a
police chief, arrived on the scene, but did
nothing but look on at the work of mas
sacre. The whole time we were besieged
we lived on condensed salt water."

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. Following
a long and earnest debate concerning ths
question of returning work the students of
the St. Petersburg university decided today
by a large majority to resume their studies
"because an open university will be more
dangerous to Imperialism than university
on strike." For five hours a sweltering,
perspiring mass of J.Ooo students stood
closely racked In the assembly hall ef the
university, in which a new otl painting of
Emperor Nicholas had taken the place of
the portrait destroyed at the meeting of
February 20. listening to a series of heated
but remarkably able speeches from student
orators. Nearly all the speakers were
members of the socialistic group and many
of them were out-and-out revolutionists
and a stranger listening to the fiery de
bate would nave -little Idea that he was
In Russia, supposedly a land where
rree speech Is not permitted. No
voice wss raised In favor of the govern
ment. All the speakers were united In the
Idea that the present concessions are un
satisfactory and that It Is necessary to
keep the reform propaganda, but they dlf
fered as to whether It would be better
tactics to continue the strike or reopen the
university as center or agitation, or
even as a "temple of revolution." Students
of the moderate faction who were thlnkln
of continuing their education rather than
furthering the work of reform abandoned
the forun to the agitators, but when the
vote was taken they snowed Under those
who wished to continue the strike. Revolu
tlonary proclamations were several times
showered from the galleries and the stu
dents sang "Marseillaise." The meeting.
however, wss far more orderly than that of
February. Neither police nor troops were
visible In the vicinity of the university. The
only unpleasant Incident was when
speaker whose theme was the Impossibility
or studying when a crisis In the struggle
for freedom was approaching referred to
those opposing a continuance of the strike
as "the student black hundred," this being
an expression applied to the mobs of roughs
attacking the Intelligentsia In the various
parts of Russia. A storm of protest was
Immediately heard on all sides and the pro-
siding officer sharply rebuked the speaker.
The preamble to the resolution adopted
declares that the national assembly In Its
present form was not truly representative.
that it Ignores the workmen and the stu
dents are not satisfied with the analogy
granted to the universities, but the strike
has lost Its political significance and the
reopening of the universities will mobilise
the student forces and enable them to co
operate with other Influences 'In the great
work for liberty. Therefore It was resolved
to end the strike until a more favorable
moment and to reopen the university,
which Is more dangerous to imperialism
than a university on strike." The univer
sity will reopen September 28.
