Newspaper Page Text3f THE MOBNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, 'AUGUST 13, 1904. 3. HAY TO BE PLAIN War Ruling ussia s Cannot Be Accepted. SE1ZURESMUSTCEASE -Only Goods for Japanese Army or Nayy 'Contraband. PROTEST S BEING PREPARED -Great Effprt Will Be Made 'to Have It Reach St. Petersburg So-Board Reviewing Arabia Case Can Consider Jt. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. -Washington, Aug. 12. Secretary Hay is prepar ing a protest against the confiscation of a portion of the cargo of the Hamburg Am erican steamer Arabia, tinder the 'terms of the findings of the prize court at Vladivostok, and as soon as the papers are complete, trill forward them to Am bassador McCormlck, at St. Petersburg, tor presentation to the Russian govern ment. Along with this protest Secretary Hay will file a general protest against further seizures of American goods and supplies consigned to Japanese ports un less It can bo shown that the goods are intended for the use of the Japanese mili tary or naval forces. Jt will be made plain that this Gov ernment does not subscribe to the Russian view of contraband cf war, and will not consent to the seizure of its goods on - the grounds on which a portion of the Ara bia's cargo is held at Vladivostok. To strengthen his protest Secretary Hay will iorward to St Petersburg affidavits laid before him by a representative of -the owners of the flour that had been .seized, conclusively showing it was consigned to commercial houses in Japan, and not to agents of the Japancsse government. The State Department has been advised that the proceedings, of the Vladivostok prize court are to b-3 reviewed by a su perior board at -the Russian capital, and It is the Intention to have the American pro test on hand in time to be passed upon by that body. As yet the owners of the flour and rail way supplies that wore seized have ndt 'Submitted to the State Department any claim against the Russian government, apparently assuming that Russia may yield to Secretary Hay's protest and re lease the goods, now held. If. the goods have been used hy the Russians, or if for some other reason the release Is imprac ticable, and Russia admits the correctness of attitude of this Government, such claims will have to be presented. It Is the belief of some officials of the State Department that the matter will eventu ally be adjusted in this manner, and that the ownera of the confiscated goods will be fully reimbursed. Portland Firm Files More Papers. . 5CASHTKGTOX. -. Aug. , 02. Attorneys representing the Portland Flour 'Milling -Company today called at, the State De partment with more affidavits and pa yers Intended to demonstrate the non contraband character of the American cargo on the Hamburg-Amedlcan liner Arabia, seized by the Vladivostok squad ron. These documents -will be dispatched at once to Ambassador McCormick; at St Petersburg, where the proceedings of the prize court which condemned part of the cargo will come up for revision by a su perior tribunal. j REFUSES FLOUR FOR JAPAN." The Boston Steamship Company Will Take No More Chances. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.) Not until today was permission received to send out the, "Boston Steamship Com- panys steamer J.remoni, loaded for Oriental ports. Whon she leaves port the officers of the company declare she will go without a pound of contraband goods aboard. Twenty-five thousand tons of flour, etc., consigned to Japan, was re fused by the company. Waterhouse & Co., operating the Bos ton Steamship Company's fleet have been trying to charter more boats, "but have failed to get those they wanted on ac count of the danger of seizure. ."I want it understood tha,t the steam ship Tremont Is not sailing from this port with a contraband cargo," said Mr. Wa terhouse this evening. "The vessel hag 'a full cargo of freight for various ports in the Orient but the heavy flour shipment on the vessel Is consigned to' merchants at Hong Kong, and not Yoko liama and other Japanese ports, as has been announced. The vessels In the fleet of the Boston Steamship Company will inot carry contraband articles of any kind from now on to ports in Japan, and re ports that the vessels are leaving here with food shipments for the Japanese army are without foundation. Figures ;purporting to represent the number of .sacks of flour on the Tremont sailing to morrow are not near the truth. "So far reports regarding the nature of ,the cargo to be carried by the Tremont !have not been given out by officers of the company, and the stories are merely guess work. When the Tremont sails there will not be one pound of contraband cargo on the vessel." The announcement made by Mr. Water house relative to the cargo of the Tre .mont is of importance. Inasmuch as it Jaad been supposed the vessels In the xrompany'a fleet, would all continue to carry foodstuffs to Japan. On the last voyage, the Shawmut carried a heavy cargo of canned meat, and local shippers expressed fears that the vessel would be captured by the Russian fleet However, the Shawmut reached Yokohama in safety. - Russian Reply Handed Britain. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 12. The Rus .eian reply to -the British representations Jn the Knight Commander case was hand ed to Ambassador Hardlnge today. As cabled to the Associated Press August 10, while couched in the most friendly terms It does not recede from the Russian posi tion as eet forth in the prize regulations, to exercise the right to destroy, in cases of emergency, neutral vessels carrying contraband. At the same time Russia as sures Great Britain that there will be no more neutral ships sunk unless circum stances render it impossible to bring the vessel before a prize court Japan Will Protest to Germany. TOKJO, Aug. 12. It Is anticipated., that the Japanese government will Immediately make representations to Germany con cerning the Russian warships which have taken refuge at Telng Chau. It Is believed laere that the dispersal of the Russian warships will further weaken the naval -power of Russia In the Orient Stay of Execution Secured. EL PASO, Tex.,' Aug. 12. Police Com inisEloner Torres, of Aguas Callehtes, a village of SInaloa, and the two policemen who killed Clarence Way and Edward Latimer, Americans, have been sentenced to be shot. The sentence was to have been executed this week, but. Influential relatives, of Torres secured a stay of exe cution. A pardon for Torres is not looked for, however, as the sentiment is high against him. Torres is said to have or dered the arrest of Way and Latimer be cause they refused to speak to him while ho was Intoxicated. They resisted arrest and both were shot AT LAST Aff TTF.TU. (Continued, from First Page.) by the people and who has great Influ ence over the Emperor, Is said to have stated to His Majesty before his first daughter was born, that the Emperor would have seven daughters before he would have a son, and that the eighth child of the Empress would be a son. This prophecy was firmly believed bj the Russian people. HOW NAME CAME TO BE CHOSEN Czar Was Guided by the Imperial Initials. .ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 13, S:30 A. M. The Emperor was greatly restricted In ttfa choice of a. name for the heir to the throne by the fact that the imperial .Initials which everywhere appear In public edi fices, on soldiers' epaulettes, saddle-cloths, railway wagons, etci, are "A" and "N." The selection- of a name not beginning with these letters would entail enormous expense should the heir come to the throne. There are a great many traditions about the name. The first Alexis, who won many victories over the Poles, endeared himself to his people and Is known In Rus sian history as "the father of his coun try." The name Is not particularly a lucky one. Alexis Petrovltch was ordered to be executed by his father, Peter the Great, for treason, but died in prison. A curious coincidence is that the heir was born on the anniversary of the can onization of St Seraphim and another co Incidence is that the birth occurred on the anniversary of the appointment of Admiral AIcxleflas Viceroy Jn the Far East PROCLAMATION OF THE KINO. Empire Is Officially Advised tff the Birth of His Heir. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 13. 5:20 A M.

Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, was' safely de livered of our son Alexis. "This Joyous event Is vouchsafed us and our kingdom by God as a blessing. "Our prayers should be rendered to the most high for a continuance in growth and health of this, our first born son, who is to be our heir and who is committed to our care by God for the perpetuation of our great office In the state. "According to our manifesto Issued July 23, 1S99, we appointed our dear brother. Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovltch, as heir apparent, until a son should be born to us. From the prosont day, this title devolves upon pur son Alexis with the calling and title of heir apparent and all rights attached thereto. "Given at Petorhof, the 30th day of July in the year of our Lord, ISO!, and the tenth year of onr reign, "Signed with our own hand. "NICHOLAS." .GIVES CZAR NEW COURAGE. He Takes Birth of Son as a -Sign He Will Win the. War. ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 13, 4 A. M. This morning the Empress and the heir to the throne are both making satisfac tory progress. An Imperial manifesto is published announcing the birth of an heir. It Invites all Russians to offer their prayers' for the prosperity of the .heir to the throne. In receiving the congratulations of his court yesterday, the Emperor, in a brief reply, said: "I am happier at the birth of a son and belr than at a victory of my troops, for now I face the future calmly' and with out alarm, knowing by this sign that the war will be brought to a happy conclu sion." MAY MEAN A CONSTITUTION. Czar Vowed He Would Proclaim It If Empress Gave Birth to a Son BERLIN, Aug. 13. The Klelno Journal says It expects that the birth of an heir to the Russian throne will be followed in a few days by a proclamation of a constitution, claiming to have been In formed that Emperor Nicholas vowed he would glvo a constitution to Russia If the Empress gave birth to a son. Berlin Papers Comment With Joy. BERLIN, Aug. 13.. The Berlin news papers comment "with Joy that a German Princess has finally given birth to an heir to the throne of all the Russlas.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12. Mayor Harrlso tomorrow wui oe asked to do wnat he can toward settling the stockyards strike." Wltl all prospects of peace,' or even peace conferences, gone the retail meatdealers and grocers tonight decided to ask the city's executive to take a position In the present conflict similar to that assumed by him in the street-car strike last Fall. The street-railway strike was settled through his efforts. At a meeting of the retail dealers, a committee of 10 persons was appointed to wait upon the Mayor tomorrow. Representatives of the stri kers were at this meeting and expressed themselves as being satisfied with the plan to ask Mayor Harrison's assistance. Previous to the decision to request Mayor Harrison to Intercede for peace, Cornelius Shea, president of the Interna tional Brotherhood of Teamsters, de clared, in an Interview, that there would be no more sympathetic strikes of the members of his union. He declared that all tho packing-house teamsters on strike would "stand pat" Mr. Shea's attitude is taken to mean that tho teamsters' Joint council will re fuse to sanction any actual walkouts of its members when they meet Sunday to consider the matter. Gaps Climaof Disorder. A riot In crowded Fifth avenue within a square of the City Hall capped the climax of disorder In the stockyards strike today. During the day half a dozen men were hurt In various encounters, and shots were fired during an attack on a train load of strikebreakers. All told today's violence was more widespread than in any previous 12 hours of the strike. Even President Golden, of the Team sters' Union, was attacked 'while trying to rescue Max Falk, a union teamster. Four nundred persons had pursued' Falk, not knowing he was a unionist, and were attacking him when President Gol den appeared. . Golden mounted the wagon, took the reins and urged back the mob. Stones and sticks' were showered at Golden and Falk before Golden, who suffered many Injuries, was" recognized. Sevonty skilled butchers who struck here are reported to have returned to their former employers, Schwarzchlld & Sulz burger, to take the places of strikers in the Arm's plant at New York. Other alleged desertions of' the union during the past 24 hours are said to ag gregate 319 men, all skilled butchers, 133 of whom are asserted to have been sent to strike-affected cities. In sentencing four youths to the peni tentiary for life today. Judge Alexel Chytraus, In the Criminal Court, took oc casion to deprecate strikesas breeders of crime. This was evoked by the fact that two of the prisoners were strikers when they began their career of crime. The four youths, Peter Dulfer, David Kelley and James and William Formby, were known as the "bandi quartet" The Formby brothers were at. one time usher.1 in St Paul's Congregational Churchs Attack Train Bearing Nonunion Men. CHICAGO, Aug. 12. Shooting followed an attack today on a Lake Shore & Mich igan Southern train bearing a large num ber of strikebreakers from their homes to work at the stockyards. Windows were broken and a number of the occu pants of the train had been struck by flying missiles when one of the strike breakers opened fire into the attacking crowd with a revolver. That no one was struck was little short of miraculous. One of tho bullets passed through the hat of a striker, grazing his scalp. Assaults Upon 'Nonunion Drivers. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.
