PROTEST S BEING PREPARED
-Great Effprt Will Be Made 'to Have

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.

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

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.
The official announcement of the birth
t-of an heir to the throne was first made
in a proclamation made by Emperor
Nicholas at the Petorhof Palace. The
proclamation Is dated. July SO (Russian
6tyle), but It was not distributed -until
early this morning. The proclamation
follows:
"By the grace of God, we, Nicholas II,
Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russlas,
Czar of Poland, Grand Duke of Finland,
etc. etc.. announce to all our faithful
subjects that our dear wife. 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

BERLIN, Aug. 13. The Klelno Journal

constitution, claiming to have been In
formed that Emperor Nicholas vowed he

everything was quiet at Port Au Prince
at the time he was cabling, and that there
was no occasion for alarm.

R10T8 ON INCREASE
Chicago Has the Most Since
Packers' Strike Began.
UN10,NS TURN TO MAYOR
Committee Will Walt on Him Today
and' Request That He Attempt,
to End the Struggle
Other News.
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. Demonstrations
against tho nonunion men who are taking
their places in the packing plants of
Schwarzchlld & Sulzberger and the United
Dressed Beef Company, were renewed to
day by the striking beef butchers and
their sympathizers. Assaults upon non
union drivers became general during the
afternoon, and several men wore roughly
handled, despite tho efforts of the police
guard assigned to every team.
ONE MORE BODY IS FOUND.
Rewards Now Offered fop Remains of
People In Train Wreck.
PUEBLO. Colo., Aug. 12. One more
body was recovered today by the search
ing parties seeking the missing" . victims
of the Eden disaster. The remains were
found about six miles from the Arkansas
River, and' were identified by the father
as those of T. C-. Page, of Denver. The
body was somewhat decomposed. Blood
hounds were used, in the hope of locating
bodies, but were called off after one had
narrowly escaped drowning in tho quick
sands. More impetus was given tho search to
day by offers of $50 reward for each body
found,, and in some cases a much larger
sum is promised.
The principal witness before tho Coro
ner's jury today among the 13 that wero
examined, was John M. Klllln, of Pueblo,
one of tho survivors of those in tho chair
car. He told a graphic story of the
awful catastrophe, describing in detail
the rolling of the car down stream and
the breaking of the top, which enabled
him to escape from the car into the rush
ing water, whence he swam to the shore.
Other witnesses were examined 'as to the
state of the weather, the speed of the
train, etc. It is not expected that tho
Jury -will render a verdict before Monday.
There remains but one unidentified body,
that of a woman, probably 50 years of age.
Two wedding rings are upon her fingers,
and a physician who examined the body
stated the dead woman had' been the
mother of children.
