The miners now have IncreaaeJ their
demand by aaklng the government to
withdraw the royal proclamation making

action. President Runclman of the Board
of Trade rejected thla proposition at a
conference laat night, and a meeting held
In London today failed to seoura any
ground for an adjustment.
The extremist leaders declare, however,
that It Is a question no longer of a I per

for striking.
No effort yet has been made to enforce
the fines against the 160,000 strikers,

"Captain Taylor apparently became

the rounre of the ship was Immediately
changed so that the little vessel ahead
would be given a wide berth. I could aae
that it would pass far sslsrn of It if we
kept to the new course.
"Home of thoes aboard believed the
sailing ship was hiding a submarine be
hind It. Of this I ran t say."
Thomas !!. Oraham of Liverpool, one
of the passengers on deck, at the time
Interrupted Baron Rosenkrants to express
his firm conviction thst such wss the
esse.

"We passed the sailing ship at s con
siderable distanos. Having done this most
of us forgot it," Baron Rosenkrants con
tinued. "A few minutes after ws had
left It behind I looked through my glssses
over ths sea and saw a white streak com
ing toward us through ths water. I
wasn't sure at first It wss a streak, such
as the wake of a torpedo or the perl scops
of a submarine, but the question was
soon settled.
"It was a torpedo. Ws could ses It
coming toward us st high speed. When It
appeared te be half a mile or so off, ths
Orduna seemed to Jump ahead and a sec
ond afterward to swerve to on side. It
looked then ss If ths torpedo would strike
us aft. But It didn't. It passed mors
than ten yards behind ths rudder, churn
ing up a whits wsks of foam as It passed
by."
The passengers, Including- Baron Rosen
krants, turned their glassss then upon
the sailing ship and tried to make out
Its name.
Mr. Oraham said he thought she wss
"Normanle." He could not see clearly
ths letters painted on It, but was rea
sons bty certain that It was ths "Nor

Watches Torpedo Cease.
In this connection it was recalled here
today that the Normandy reached Liver
pool on July IV three days after the
Orunde was attacked, at the end of a
voyage from Gulf port Miss. Upon Its
arrived at Liverpool members of It crew
said that the Normandy was stopped
by a German submartns sixty miles
oouthwest of Tuskss Rock, off tthe south
east coast of Ireland, Friday nitfht. July
t, and was forced to act as a shield for
the submarine, which hid Itself from an
approaching vessel, which proved to be
the Russian steamer Leo.
The submarine submerged, according to
tho Normandy's crew,) and proceeded
around the Normandy's bows. Ten min
utes later the crew of the Normandy
saw the Leo blown up, The Normandy,
Its crew said, waa forced to act as a
shield for the submarine upon threat of
destruction should It refuse.
Thla occurred, the Normandy's orew
aid, on the night of July I. The Or
duna waa attacked on the morning of
July t and the scene of the attack was
about twenty miles distant from the
spot where the Leo was sunk.
The captain of the Normandy, however,
aped finally denied the story told by the
members of the orew. The bark was
stopped by ths submarine, he said, but
wss allowed to proceed with some of
the Ieo't crew.

WASHINGTON. July 17.-News of ths
sttack on the Orduna upsets ths theory
of some officials here that Germany,
while not yielding In the American diplo
matic demands that unarmed ships be
warned of attack In neordanc with In
ternational law, waa n practice observ
ing that procedure.
On that theory m ich hops had beesi
built for the successful effect the diplo
matic representations I rough t about by
the Lusltanla disaster.
In support of their theory officials had
pointed out that the ttrltlsh ships Ar
menia and Anglo-Callfornlan. on both of
which American Uvea acre lost, were
warned before attacked. Inasmuch as
both attempted to ecap and one ac
tually did -cine United Ptatas held It
rould give Its cltisens In those cases no
relief.
The view thst Oermeny was now con
ducting Its submsrlne wit fare in accord
ance with the principles for which the
t'nlted States contends hss been so con
fidently entertained In official quarters
that the attack on the Orduna oame aa
little lees than a shock. Only yesterday
