Berlin, Aug-. 13.—The Cologne Gazette’s
St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs
that Japan persists in her demands for a
concession of 600,000 square metres upon
the island of Ma-San-Pho, adjoining the
Russian concession. The Corean govern-
ment, stiffened by Russia, has thus far de-
clined to accede to the demands, but it is
expected to ultimately yield to Japanese
pressure.

Somebody Is Goiug to Be Shut Out of
the Polls.
Up to 1.30 this afternoon 2467 people
had taken out registration certificates
for the election for city commissioners
to be held Sept. 10. The registrar’s
office is now on its second week and
unless a better showing is made for
the remainder of the time the office Is
to be kept open the total number of
citizens who will be entitled to vote in
the election will fall short of 6000. Un-
less a voter registers he will be denied
the right of suffrage.
The registrar's office started off well,
but the lick of the first two hours has
not been maintained and there has
been a gradual falling off of the num-
ber of people to register every day
since the opening. If a person should
wait until the last minute to register
for the election he is apt to be shut
out entirely, for the office will be kept
open until 8 p. m. on the evening of
Aug. 20 and at that hour will close
tight, regardless of whether there is
any one waiting outside to register or
not. To be on the safe side every one
who is entitled to vote in the coming
election should secure him a registra-
tion certificate without delay.

Vancouver, B. C., Aug. 13.—The forest
fires which annually destroy thousands of
dollars worth of property are now raging
on the British Columbian coast. Reports
from the coast state that several small
islands have been completely denuded of
trees and the wood is so dry that fires on
the mainland once started spread with
great rapidity.

returns from all strike centers have
not been received today, but as far as
they go they indicate there has been
slight change in conditions since yes-
terday. During the night the strikers
made further gains from the National
Tube company at McKeesport ami
seem to have somewhat strengthened'
their .position at Wheeling.
The Bellaire plant was closed last
night, but a determined attempt will
be made to open it today. The strikers
are watching the plant and boast they,'
have it tied up and are in a position to
keep it so.
Preparations are being made here to
increase the number of men in the
Lindsay & McCutcheon mills, which
have been operating with one non-
union crew since last week, and also
to start the big Painter mill, which
has been idle since the order to strike
went out. The police here have shown
they will make a determined effort to
prevent violence or disorder and th©
steel managers regard this as a favor-
able point to break into the strike with'
non-union men. Apparently no plans
have yet been formed for attempts at
resumption at McKeesport or Wheel-
ing and it is believed the companies
whose plants are either partly or com-
pletely crippled will wait until the
excitement at those two points sub-
sides.
The American Tin Plate company is
moving to secure resumption at some
of its plants and the officials here feel
sure they will succeed.

consolidate the Southwestern, the
Western and the Trans-Continental
passenger associations. The reason as-
signed for such action is that through
the financial arrangement of the own-
ership of the various lines comprising
these associations the existence of so
many bodies, composed practically of
the same men, involves ap unneces-
sary expense. By consolidating these
associations a material saving could
be effected.
Another reason is stated to be the
easier settlement of disputes, rate mat-
ters and other affairs by one associa-
tion than could be^ccomplished by
two or more covering partly the same
ground. It is understood that the
higher traffic officials favor this plan.
THE MOUNT WASHINGTON SEMINARY,
FOR BOYS UNDER 13.
The Mount Washington Seminary was
established in 1899. It is built on the same
grounds as the Mount Saint Agnes’ Col-
lege for Young Women, about seven miles
from Baltimore, in a garden spot of beau-
ty. remarkable for its hygienic advantages.
It can be reached by the local trains of the
Northern Central Railroad, which pass rhe
grounds, or by the cars of the United Elec-
tric Line.
The institution has two departments—
elementary and the Preparatory. The dis-
clipine is mild and firm. Boys who pass
creditably the prescribed six years’ course
are prepared to enter the Academic De-
partment of any college. The Seminary is
conducted by the Sisters of Mercy.

to supply all the machinery for the new

will consist of eleven turbines of 55,060
horse power each. Mexico has also placed
an order for an electric station of 100,000

Chicago, III., Aug. 13.—It leaked out
here today, says the Inter Ocean, that
one of the Chicago banks was recently
swindled out of $30,000 in cash in a
skillful manner. An effort is being
made to keep the matter secret and
not even the name of the bank is
given. It seems that a depositor of
several years standing appeared a few
days ago in the bank president’s of-
fice with a draft on London for £6000,
which was perfectly good. The de-
positor informed the president he de-
sired to deposit this London draft and
at the same time to check against it,
presenting his check for $30,000 for
the president to O. K. The depositor
then went out iuto the bank and de-
posited his London draft and on the
following day presented a check for
$30,000, which was paid, the teller
knowing that amount was to his
credit on the books. Later in the day
he again appeared at the window and
presented a check for $30,000 which
had been O. K’d. by the president. This
check was also paid. Nothing more
has since been seen of the depositor.

Niles, O., Aug. 13.—The party of
strike breakers captured here left this
morning for Lisbon, accompanied by
five union men. The trip is 33 miles
across country and is being made in a
closed road wagon.
TROOrS EXPECTED.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 13.—A dis-
patch from Panama to the Herald
says: The troops daily expected from
Buena Ventura have not yet arrived.
It is rumored that Gen. Pinto, govern-
or of Cauca, has resigned, but this is
not yet confirmed.
The General Pinzon (the converted
yacht Namouna) has not yet returned.
SITUATION SUMMED UP.
Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 13.—Thc^strike
situation early today is briefly sum-
marized as follows:
The Lindsay & McCutcheon plant of
the American Steel Hoop company has
its fires all lighted and the manage-
ment declares the plant will soon be
in full operation. The strikers assert
the works may continue to run with a'
small force. At the Republic iron
works no effort is being made to start
the mills, while the Amalgamated1
pickets on duty all about there say
they are practically assured no effort
will be made to start under the present
circumstances. At. the Elba iron works
strikers’ pickets to the number of 25
are on duty on Second avenue and the
streets around the Frankstown mills.
One watchman who was on duty for
the company says he knows nothing
of any intention to start and no men
were expected to go to work today.
Fires in the furnaces are banked. At
the Painters mill the fires were lighted
this morning, but no men appeared for
work. It was expected this plants
would try resumption. At McKeesport
the National Tube works plant was
much delayed by the striking of 250.
boys in the butt-weld department, who
quit at midnight, but all the men are
at work.
At the Monongahela steel works and
furnaces at McKeesport no effort is be-
ing made to start work. The fires are
banked.
At the Boston rolling mill at Mc-
Keesport no men appeared to go to
work, the fires were banked and there
is no chance of starting up this morn-
ing. At Monessen no effort to start
the steel plants were made this morn-
ing.
Atlantic City, N. J. Aug. 13.—Alex-
ander C. Botkin of Montana, chair-
man of the United States code com-
mission, has arrived here to spend
several weeks. Mr. Botkin is accom-
panied by his stenographer and de-
votes a portion of each day of his va-
cation to official labors. The duty of
the code commission includes the re-
vision of all the laws of the United
States of a general and permanent
nature, but it is at present engaged in
pursuance of the special direction of
congress in revising the laws relating
to the organization, jurisdiction and
practice of the federal courts.
In an interview Commissioner Bot-
kin said: “The commission will rec-
ommend a number of more or less radi-
cal changes. The most important of
these is the consolidation of all origi-
nal jurisdiction in the United States
district court and making the circuit
court of the present circuit court of
appeals as the intermediate court of
review. If the changes proposed are
adopted by congress judges of the cir-
cuit courts will De wholly relieved of
the trial of cases in first instance and
will perform only the duties attaching
to an appellate court. Various changes
in practice will also be embodied in
the report of the commission in the in-
terest of uniformity, simplicity and
convenience.”
Mr. Botkin believes that the com-
mission will be able to report the re-
vision before the next session of con-
gress. It recently submitted a project
for a United States penal code which
is designed to cover the numerous
omissions and defects in the present
criminal laws.

Washington, D. C„ Aug. 13.—Brig. Gen.

York city, for treatment. The general, at
his own request, was ordered from San
Francisco to Washington, but an order
has just been issued at the war depart-
ment permitting him to remain at Covent,
where he hopes to secure relief. His con-
dition is said to have improved slightly.

Old Vessel Likely to Retain Her Place as
Receiving Ship.
New York, N. Y.,Aug. 13.—It is not un-
likely that the old receiving ship Vermont
may be returned to her station at
Brooklyn navy yard and continue
receiving ship, taking the place of
Columbia, recently ordered to replace her.
The special board appointed by Rear Ad-
miral Barker, consisting of Capt. Snow,
Lieut. Commander Hall, Lieut. Command-
er Bronaugh and Constructor Capps, has
reported against the proposed substitution
of the cruiser Columbia for the Vermont
as a receiving ship. They say it would be
too expensive. The suggestion has been
that the Vermont has been thoroughly
fumigated and put in good sanitary condi-
tion.
New York, N. Y„ Aug. 13.—With the
race for the Futurity stakes at Sheeps-
head Bay now less than three weeks
off the outlook for that event has
changed little, except that horsemen
who, at Brighton Beach, were inclined
to concede the race to William C.
Whitney’s $50,000 colt are now begin-
ning to believe that if Mr. Whitney
can not win with Nasturtium he can
win with Goldsmith, says the Times.
A number of much-talked-of Fu-
turity colts have appeared at Saratoga
in the week of racing there, but aside
from John E. Madden’s Yankee, twice
a winner at Saratoga, none seem to
have more than a remote chance to
beat Nasturtium, and even Yankee’s
chance is not very highly thought of.
Goldsmith’s victory over Blue Girl in
the Saratoga special directed attention
to that colt, and as he has been im-
proving steadily since early spring,
Goldsmith is now regarded as a strong
second string for the Whitney stable.
Even then the Whitney strength will
not all be in the field, for among the*
big string of 2-year-oIus under Train-
er J. W. Rogers’ care is yet a third
good colt in King Hanover, a well
tried horse that caused much talk in
the spring.
John E. Madden seems to hold the
next strongest hand with the great
filly Blue Girl and the present un-
beaten Yankee, though a third colt,
Heno, whose name was frequently
mentioned in connection with the Fu-
turity in early summer, has passed to
Clarence H. Mackay. Madden also
has Fly Wheel, Gun’s Fire, City Bank
and Blackstock, all eligible for the
Futurity, but from the plan at Sara-
toga Madden seems to depend chiefly
on Blue Girl and Yankee.
J. B. Haggin and the Tepper stable
both are numerously represented in
the race, and race track gossip has it
that each stable Is preparing a dark
one, though none of the 2-year-oIds
from either establishment has raced

Alybany, N. Y., Aug. 13.—Gov. Odell has
the New York police situation under con-
sideration, but has not reached any deter-
mination ag to what action he may take.
In an interview he said:
“I have not come to this city to confer
with the attorney general or any other
person relative to the pool room matter.
No conclusion has been reached by me as
to what may be done i> the police situa-
tion. I have not decided to call a special

LIONIZING WHEELER. !
NIGHT WAS HER TERROR.
“I would cough nearly ail bight long,”
writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate of Alexan-
dria, Ind., “and could hardly get any
sleep. I had consumption so bad that if
I walked a block I woulij cough fright-
fully and spit blood, but, when all other
medicines failed, three JI bottles of Dr.
King’s New Discovery wholly cured me
and I gained 58 pounds.” It is absolutely
guaranteed to cure Coughs, Colds, La
Grippe, Bronchitis and all Throat’ and
Lung Troubles. Price, 50c and $1, Trial

New York, N. Y., Aug. 13.-Says the
Tribune’s London representative: The
villagers and tradesmen of Letoombe
are confident that Richard Croker will
remain at Moat house until the end of
September, but his departure for
America is not likely to be deferred
more than a fortnight. One of his
confidential advisers states positively
that Mr. Croker will sail about the
middle of August to take charge of
Democratic politics in New York. Mr.
Croker delights to mislead every in-
quirer and keep his plans enveloped in
mystery, but unless those usually in
his confidence are deceived he will
leave England about Aug. 17. The
master of Moat house finds progress
at his Wantage estate difficult. Un-
expected things are constantly hap-
pening. When the huge basin for a
lake was completed the water was let
in experimentally to enable the work-
men to judge whether the excavations
were of sufficient depth. When the
lake was emptied again the volume
was too great for the bed of the
stream and there was a flood in the
houses of Wantage, a mile and a half
distant, in consequence of tlie over-
flow. The excavations were deepened
and the water was again let in. But
the trout stream fed from the same
springs as the lake shrivelled up and
the fish were left high and dry.
The entrance to Moat house is

pailings, and the land on each side is

New York, N. Y., Aug. 13.—Senor
Arturo de Brigard, consul general for
Colombia in tins city, has received
tlie following cable dispatch from
Acting Governor Aristides Arjona of
Panama:
“Traffic continues unhindered. Pre-
datory warfare carried on around rail-
road has produced no a Irani. General
situation is satisfactory.”
The railroad referred to in this mes-
sage is that owned by the Panama
railroad company, for the protection
of which President J. Edward Sim-
mons has asked this government to
send a warship.
Consul General De Brigard charac-
terized as untrue tlie assertion by the
revolutionists that they have 8000 men
under arms in the department of
Panama.
“It is also untrue,” he said, “that the
government has done nothing to con-
ciliate the Liberals. President Mar-
roquin has issued -several decrees
guaranteeing freedom.
“The government does not, as has
been stated, persecute the families of
the revolutionists. In fact, the family
of Gen. Uribe-Uribe is in Bogota now,
enjoying the same privileges as mine
would were they there.”
The steamer Alene has just arrived
from Savanilla and Catagcna. One of
her officers said:
“Very little news is permitted to
get out, although it is known on the
coast that some desperate fighting has
recently taken place in the interior.”
