New Explosive President Spoke to

Root Succeeds Hay.
Admiral Kruger on Sunday board
ed and took possession of the Rus
sian battleship Knlaz potemklne, King
Charles of Roumania having sent In
st ructions to the commander of the
Roumanian squadron that tho vessel
be delivered to the Russian authori
ties without raising difficulties.
The torpedo boat which accoin
punlcd tho Knlaz Potemklne, however,
left for Odessa without surrendering,
declaring that she had not mutinied
but that the Knlaz Potemklne bad
forced her to follow.
The press representative Inspected
the Knlaz Potemklne after the with
drawal of the Roumanian- guard. De
spite the efforts of the Roumanians
to get things In ship shape everything
aboard the battleship wus still In a
stu'o of wild disorder. The officers'
cabins were stripped of everything of
any value and bloodstains were every
where. There was sufficient ammu
nition aboard the Knlaz Potemklne to
have enabled the mutineers to make
a desperate reBlstunce.
It is said that during the last few
days the vessel was navigated by two
engineers and an officer with revolvers
nt their heads.
Seven ofllcere were prisoners aboard
the Knlaz Potemklne. They were in
a pitiable condition 'pm Ill-treatment.
They declare th lltuschenko, the
leader of the mti r, himself killed
10 officers of the battlfshlp.
Mikado's Commission to Arbitrators.
Tho. 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 Japnntand Russia had 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 peace and humanity, of terminating
the conflict, has suggested that the
two governments appoint pleni
potentiaries and cause 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
peace, and If, in consequence of the
conciliatory spirit of our opponent,
hostilities could be brought to nn end.
nothing would be more satisfactory
than such consummation.
"Accordingly, we at once accept the
sugget-tion of the president of the
United States and we hereby charge
you with the mission ofc 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-estab-llshment
of peace on a durable ba
sis." China Wants to Participate.
The request of the Chineso empire
to be represented In the Washing
ton conference on the ground that
nhe Is vitally interested In Its pro
ceedings has been received by the
president und 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 Japan
will not consent to it.
Japanese on Russian Soil.
With the Japanese flag hoisted for
the 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
and In government circles. CompleU
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 bureau of tho Bame company,
made affidavits, sworn to before a no
tory public, denying a published state
ment charging the 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 and no wire over which It
furnishes or assists In furnishing rac
ing news or reports, at any pluco with
in the city of New York.
Mr. Mitchell also denies thut the
Western Union Telegraph company
furnishes racing information directly
or indirectly to any news company or
pool room, and In detail specifically
takes up nnd denies nn allegation that
he, Mitchell, was advised by Judge
Dillon not to put up 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.
The putting Into blast at Buffalo,
N. Y., of the second furnace at the
ylant of the Buffalo and Susquehanna
Iron works marks the completion of
thut 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
tiO tciis. Since last October half
that quantity of pig lion has been
urned out each day at the Goodyear-
Rogers plant. The first furnace wa
put Into brust two years ago this com
ing August, and It has been kept In
operation ever since without a hitch
or delay of any kind.
Government's New Explosive.
That a twelve-Inch shell loaded
with only a very small charge ot
dunnite, the world's most effective
explosive, will crumple In the side ot
the heaviest armor-clad vessel, though
the shell full short of Its mark by 20
feet, has Just been demonstrated at the
beginning of a series of tests at the
government proving erounds at Sandy
Hook.
Tho great value of this explosive
lies in the fact that the shell will
fierce ormor plate and explode In the
interior of a vessel.
The explosive substance Is namod
after its Inventor, Major Beverly W.
Dunn, U. S. A., and Is a closely guard
ed government secret. Foreign na
tions Irnve sought In vain to learn of
Us composition. Meantime a large
supply of armor-piercing shells has
been placed in arsenals, all the ships
of the navy and the seacoast fortifica
tions, rpndy 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 Educational as
sociation convention the most Impres
sive of ull the great educational meet
lugs. The duties of the 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 said, "money making can
never nguln stand on the 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 in
disposing of it."

Invents Cotton Picker.
After five years of patient labor
Charles B. Shreaves of Dennison,
Texas, has perfected a cotton picker
which he says will revolutionize cot
ton picking. A blue print ' device Is
being prepared at Dallas. The ma
chine Is attached to a wagon and can
pick one, two, or four rows at a time,
and can reach tall or small stalks.
Shreaves Is a poor man. 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 the construction
of the Panama canal may be trans
ferred from tho war to the state de
partment. 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 he relieved of the re

tion of the canal affairs.

HOOKER TRIAL BEGINS.
First Day's Session Had Bu
Little Practical Result.
Disagreement Between Houses as t
Procedure Senate Restricted Re
ceipt of Evidence to the "Legal ana
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
Ipon the charges against Supreme
Court Justice Warren B. Hooker not
only were almost without practical re
suit, so far as actual progress in set
t'.ement of the case Is concerned, bul
developed Into something very- sug
gestive of a misunderstanding not tc
say a possible deadlock, between the
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
fed lu the very brief Joint session held
was the personal appearance of Jus
tice Hooker before the session and the
filing of bis 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 nt once into a tedious and
vordy 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 "legal and usual rules'' prevailing
lu 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. Ha
made a vain effort to have the vote
reconsldared and upon being out-voted
declared that until what he considered
a fair vote could be obtained, "not
much business would be transacted in
the Joint session. .
"Such a rule makes this a trial,"
said 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.
Senator 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 last evening of the Re
publican leaders In the assembly to
get concurrence In the senate action
failed, chiefly through the maneuver
of Minority Leader 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 heurlng and
finally adopted such a rule. The sen
ale concurred and both houses de
cided to hove 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 the practice
now In vogue at the department of
agriculture In having only the statls
t. clans, himself or tho assistant secre
tary present when the monthly cotton

dispatch to President R. M. Miller, Jr.,
of the American Cotton Manufactur
ers' association now at Charlotte, N.
C, who telegraphed the secretary
thot If the representative of any or
gnnizatlon Interested In cotton is to
appear before the department when
the August cotton report Is being pre
pared his organization also desired
representation.

EFFORTS TO RAISE SUBMARINE
Last Message From Imprisoned Crew
Believed All Are Dead.
Paris, July 1. Dispatches reach
Ing the ministry of murine show that
the authorities at Bl.erta, Tunis, con
tlnue their tedious efforts to raise tht
submarine boat Farfadet with the ex
pectation of taking out the corpses o:
the Imprisoned crew.
Cables were again passed under tin
boat yesterday but the rescuers wer
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 wntl
to enter the Interior orifice for the d
mission of air. One of the last me
sages from the Interior of the Far
fadet was: "Hurry. Water gaining.'
Since then complete silence hv

bringing no response. Therefore it Is
believed thnt those who escaped beln
smothered were' drowned. The mln
lstry of marine still withholds a defi
nlte announcement thnt the crew ar
dead.
