Root Succeeds Hay.
Admiral Kruger on Sunday board
fid and took possession of the Rus
sian battleship Kniaz Potemkine, King
Charles of Roumunla having sent In
BtructlotiR to the commander of the
Roumanian squadron that the vessel
be delivered to the Russian authori
ties without raising difficulties.
The torpedo boat which accom
punlcd the Kniaz Potemkine, however,
lift for Odessa without surrendering,
declaring that she had not mutinied
but that the Kniaz Potemkine had
forced her to follow.
Tho press representative Inspected
the Kutaz Potemkine after the with
drawal of the Roumanian-guurd. De
spite tho efTorts of tho Roumanians
to get things in ship shape everything
aboard the battleship was still in a
stuto of wild disorder. The officers'
cabins were stripped of everything of
any value and bloodstains wero every
where. There was sufficient ammu
nition aboard the Kniaz Potemkine to
have enabled the mutineers to make
a desperate resistance.
It Is said that during the last few
days tho vessel was navigated by two
engineers and an officer with revolvers
at their heads.
Seven officers were prisoners aboard
the Kniaz Potemkine. They were in
R pitiable condltlop 'twi Ill-treatment.
They declare tha Jltuschonko, the
leader of the mti K himself killed
10 officers of the battleship.
Mikado's Commission to Arbitrators.
The, Emperor of Japan delivered an
address to the peace plenipotentiaries
as follows:
"The president of the United States,
being grieved to find that the war be
tween JapaiFand Russia hud not "been
brought to a close after tne lapse of
more than a year, and being Impressed
with tho urgent need, in the Interest
of peuce and humanity, of u'rmlnntlng
Hie conflict, has suggested that the
two governments appoint pleni
potentiaries and ea.use them to meet
together to negotiate peace.
"We were compelled, contrary, to our
expectations, to resort to arms, de
spite our constant abiding wish for
peuce, and if, In consequence of the
conciliatory spirit of our opponent,
hostilities could be brought to an end,
nothing would be more satisfactory
thon such consummation.
"Accordingly, we at once accept the
suggestion of the president of the
United States and we hereby charge
you with the mission of negotiating
and concluding peace. You should de
vote yourselves with all of your power
to discharge your mission and make
every effort to secure the re-establishment
of peace on a durablo ba-
Bls."
China Wants to Participate.
The request of the Chinese empire
to be represented in tho Washing
ton conference on the ground that
she Is vitally interested In Its pro
ceedings has been received by the
president and Informally transmitted
to the belligerents. Whether tho
president has received the formal re
plies cannot be learned, but it can
be stated that while Russia is In
clined to favor the suggestion Jupun
will not consent to it.
Japanese on Russian Soil.
With the Japanese flag hoisted for
tho first time on Russian soil after 18
month of war, the Importance of
the landing on the island of Sak
halin Is generally admitted both
In St. Petersburg newspaper comment
nnd in government circles. Complete
occupation of the Island Is regarded as
a foregone conclusion.
No Racing News to Pool Rooms.
William J. Dealy of the Commercial
News department of the Western
Union Telegraph company, and David
II Mitchell, manager of the special
wire bureltu of tho same company,
made affidavits, sworn to before a no
lory public, denying a published state
ment, charging tho Western Union
Telegraph company with selling rac
ing information to pool rooms.
Mr. Dealy said that the Western
Union Telegraph company has no rac
ing wires nnd no wire over which It
furnishes or assists In furnishing rac
ing news or reports, at any placo with
in the city of New York.
Mr. Mitchell also denies that the
Western Union Telegraph company
furnishes racing information directly
Br indirectly to any news company or
pool room, and In detail specifically
lakes up nnd denies nn allegation that
he, Mitchell, was advised by .fudge
Dillon not to put tip any racing wires
in the city of New York, but that de
ponent could put one in any other
place outside of the city of New York.
Furnace Plant Doubled.
Tho putting into blast at Buffalo,
N. Y., of the second furnace at the
Ulant of the Buffalo and Susquehanna
Iron works marks the completion of
that, great industrial plan, second in
Importance only to the plant of tho
Lackawanna Steel company and, when
considered with its allied interests,
ranking even that great steel-making
concern.
.The dally capacity of the plant Is
rio tons. Since last October half
that quantity of pig lion has beta
'urued out each day at the Goodyrar-
Rogcrs plant. The first furnace wan
put Into brast two years ago this com
ing August, and It has been kept In
operation ever since without a hitch
or deluy of any kind.
Government's New Explosive.
That a twelve-Inch shell loaded
with only a very small charge of
dunnite, tho world's most effective
explosive, will crumple In tho side ot
the heaviest armor-clad vessel, though
the shell full short of Its mark by 20
feet, hus just been demonstrated at the
beginning of a series of tests at tho
government proving grounds at Sandy
Hook.
Tho great valtio of thla explosive
lies in the fact that the shell will
ierce armor plate and explode in tho
interior of a vessel.
The explosive subHtance Is named
after Us Inventor, Major Heverly W.
Dunn, U. S. A., und is a closely guard
ed government secret. Foreign na
tions have sought in vain to learn of
its composition. Meantime a large
supply of armor-piercing shells has
been placed in arsenals, all the ships
cf the navy and the seucoust fortifica
tions, r"iid.v for any emergency.
President Spoke to Teachers.
A crowd of 30,000 persons which
turned out at Asbury Park, N. J., to
welcome President Roosevelt made the
closing of the National Edilcatioual as
sociation convention the most Impres
sive of ull tho great educational meet
ings. 'The duties of tho rich was the sub
ject matter of the principal speech
which the president delivered to the
educators.
"After a certain point has been
reached," he paid, "money making can
never again stand on tho same plane
with other and nobler forms of effort.
The roll of American worthies num
bers, of rich men, only those who have
used their riches aright, who have
shown good conduct In acquiring It.
and not merely lavish generosity lb
disposing of it."

ing of 1907.
It Is expected that Wednesday's

which he says will revolutionize cot
ton picking. A blue print device Is
being prepared at Dallas. The ma

and can reach tall or small stalks.
Shreuves Is a poor mon. Ample capi
tal will back up the Invention. The
Inventor claims the device can do the
work of 60 pickers per day.
Panama Canal Administration.
It is probable the administration of
affairs connected with tho construction
of tho Panama canal may bo trans
ferred from tho war to the stato de
isrtmcnt. Since Ellhu Root indicated
his acceptance of the president's ten
der of the secretaryship of state, the

transfer under- consideration. It Is
known that Secretary Taft would be
quite willing to be relieved of the re
siumsibillty attached upon the direc
tion of tho canal affairs.

HOOKER TRIAL BEGINS.
First Day's Session Had Bu
Little Practical Result.
Disagreement Between Houses as ti
Procedure Senate Restricted Re
ceipt of Evidence to the "Legal ano
Usual Rules Prevailing In Courts ot
Record In This State."
Albany, July 11. The proceedings
of the two houses of the state legls
lature In their extra session to act
Upon the charges against Supremt
Court Justice Warren B. Hooker not
only were almost without practical re
suit, so far as actual progress ia set
t'.ement of the case Is concerned, but
developed into something very- sug
gestlve of a misunderstanding; not tc
say a possible deadlock, between th
two houses, which is anything but en
couraging to those who hoped for and
prophesied a disposal of the case with
in the present week.
The only thing actually accomplish
ed In the very brief joint session held
vrs the personal appearance of Jus
tice Hooker before the session and the
filing of his formal reply to the
charges adopted a fortnight ago.
The Joint session then adjourned,
but later In the afternoon the two
houses convened separately, and
passed at once Into a tedious and
wordy wrangle over a single technical
point.
The point upon which the two
houses are divided is whether a rule
shall be adopted restricting the joint
session to receipt of evidence undef
the "legjl and usual rules" prevailing
in courts of record of this state,
whether no such rule governing the
evidence shall be adopted, or whether
it shall be adopted In some modified
form.
The senate finally adopted the pro
posed rule in the first form. This was
bitterly opposed by Senator Grady
who also demanded that action be de
ferred until some of the absent Demo
cratic senators would be present. He
made a vain effort to have the vote
reconsldared and upon being out-voted
declared that until what he considered
a fnlr vote could be obtained, "not
much business would be transacted in
the Joint session.
"Such a rule makes this a trial,"
Bald he, "Instead of a hearing as con
templated by the constitution. It will
result in covering Justice Hooker up
bj technical rules of evidence."
The minority leader's desire was to
leave the legislature unbound by
rules, thus enabling It to receive what
ever evidence the members desired.
Several Republicans sided with him.
Senntor Hlnman remarking that he be
lieved there was "something doing,
and something to be covered up."
This Intimation was denied by Ma
jority Leader Raines in a heated argu
ment, during which he declared that
the legislature would not want to con
demn Justice Hooker "upon evidence
that would not be received in a dog
case."
The attempt Inst evening of the Re
publican leaders in the assembly to
get concurrence In the senate action
failed, chiefly through the maneuver
of Minority Lender Palmer.
The assembly spent considerable
time debating the proposition to al
low representatives of the state, New
York, Brooklyn and Jamestown bars
tc participate In the heuring and
finally adopted such a rule. The sen
ale concurred and both houses de
cided to hnve the proceedings of the
assembly at. which final action shall
be taken, after a hearing, open Instead
of secret as was recommended by the
sub-committee on procedure.
Preparing Cotton Reports.
Washington, July 11. Secretary
Wilson will adhere to tho practice
now In vogue at the department of

C, who telegraphed the secretary
that If the representative of any or
gnnb.ation Interested in cotton Is to
appear before tho department when

Paris, July 1. Dispatches reach
lng the ministry of murine show that
the authorities at Blzerta, Tunis, con
tlnue their tedious efforts to raise the
submarine boat Farfadet with the ex
pectation of taking out the corpses o:
the imprisoned crew.
Cables were again passed under the
boat yesterday but the rescuers were
unable to bring her to the surface
The futile efforts to rescue the im
prisoned men shook up the boat, loos
enlng the cap and permitting wntji
to enter the interior orifice for the d
mission of air. One of the Inst me?
sages from the Interior of the Far
fadet was: "Hurry Water gaining.'
Since then complete silence hti

believed that those who escaped belnt
smothered were' drowned. The mln

dead.
