Flying Russian Flag.
NEW YORK, Augr. 1. Transatlantic
service of passenger and freight steam
ships with sailings between German
and American ports has been practi
cally suspended for an indefinite pe
riod, owing to tbe international situa
tion abroad. By wireless today the
Hamburg-American line recalled its
vessel President Grant and the North
German Lloyd line Its steamer Grosser
Kurfuerst, both of which sailed from
this port yesterday, the former ship
for Hamburg and the other for Bre
men. Each of these lines announced that
its ships would be used until further
notice at the points where they are
now in port, including Hamburg, Bre
men, New York and Boston. Ships
now in midocean will be held similarly
at their points of destination.
Thousands DelayetL
Thousands of passengers will be de
laved in sailing and must seek pas
sage on other boats if they decide to
- sro to Europe. Booking agencies made
arrangements for the transfer of some
of the 3000 passengers ot the vaier
land. the Hamburg-American liner
which was to have sailed tomorrow
from Hoboken. Provision merchants
ready to load ocean-going German ships
with supplies faced heavy losses today,
as such perishable food as had been
aent to the piers was not taken on
board. -
The pier gates in Hoboken were
closed and a strict guard maintained
against others than passengers and
crews going aboard the German ships.
Visitors were barred. At several piers
the receiving of freight was suspended.
The Eastern Asiatic Steamship Com
pany, maintaining a line of steamships
between Llbau. Russia, and this port,
flying the Russian flag, may place
them under the Danish flag if hostili
ties' break out. it was intimated by their
agents here today. The company is
largely a Danish undertaking and such
a step would be a natural one. it was
said.
Russian Risks Refused.
It was learned today In marine In
surance circles that underwriters had
refused to insure ships flying the Rus
sian flag and there was great hesitancy
in taking risks on German steamships
or their cargoes.

German Cruiser Harries Overhaul

OTTAWA. Ontario. Aug. 1. The
Canadian government has been in
formed from London that there Is on
the Western Coast of North America
a German cruiser or tne imru-ia
mounting 10 four-inch guns.
If England becomes Involved with
Trance and Russia against Germany

capable of protecting Canadian ports

is the Canadian cruiser Rainbow,
which Is now at Victoria being over

The Rainbow baa a full complement
of British naval reserve men on ooaru

boat in both speed and power.

LONDON, Aug. 1. The correspondent
of the Times, telegraphing from St.
Petersburg, says:
'Curt notices signifying 'that . the
Emperor has decided to mobilize in the
empire about 4,000,000 men," and or
dering the reservists, without d 1st tne

hav been posted at street corners.
Another brief notice informs reserv
ists that sums of money will be paid to
them for clothing and foot gear.
For several hours before these no
tices were Issued all telegrams except
official despatches, were intercepted
and this message was permitted to pass
only by courtesy of the Russian author-
ities.
"German reservists in Russia have
not been summoned, owing to the delay

A dispatch to the Times from Paris
reports that the Germans have seized
French locomotives at Frontier points
and have torn up the permanent rail

LONDON. July 30. The conclusion of
the annual general meeting of the Na
tional Union of Railwaymen at Swan
sea, and the fact that the first meet
ing of the men's representatives with
the representatives of the companies
appointed to consider the establishment
of -a new scheme to replace the concil
iation scheme of 1911 since the annual
meeting of the men will be held short
ly, serve as reminders that tbe men's
programme for a new schedule to be
the basis of the contemplated agree
ment between themselves and the com
panies has now been officially approved
and that the time for settlement has
been narrowed down to six months.
In any settlement which may be
reached the men's programme is bound
to be a prominent factor, and it is
a matter for congratulation that the
delegates at Swansea were content to
accept the proposals put forward on
behalf of the executive and not to in
sist on the revolutionary proposals ad
vanced by certain extremists.

Available Food, Artillery and Cav
airy Now Surveyed. s.
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. L The impe
rial authorities have asked Canada for
statement ot tbe food supplies and
horses for cavalry and --tillery service
now available in the Dominion.
There are 14,000,000 bushels of wheat
in Canadian granaries and the crop
that is being harvested is estimated at
175,000,000 bushels. The number of
horses suitable for military work is not
large. The Canadian contingents prob
ably would use up the- available sup
ply.
The problem of keeping the a
routes from Canada safe from raiding
cruioers is causing some concern.
It is expected the admiralty will be
asked to assign cruisers from the Brit
ish fleet to the task of guarding the
outlet from the r-t Lawrence, that
grain carriers may reach the high seas
safely. Once away from the shore a
route can be taken which would make
it only a matter of accident for the
boats - to be sighted until near the
British coast.
FATK OF BIG LTN'ER AWAITS
Declaration oC War Before Arrival
Would Present Problem.
LONDON. Aug. 1. There is much In
terest and speculation here over the
fate of the North German Lloyd
steamer Kronprinzessin Cecilia in event
of war being declared before her ar
rival at Bremen.
The vessel sailed from New York
last Tuesday, carrying a large amount
of specie, and is due to touch at Ply
mouth and Cherbourg. It is presumed
here that in the event of war she
might elect to return to New York or
to reach Germany by way of the north
of Scotland.
The Daily Telegraph suggests that
the steamer, even If she tried to reach
New York, might be captured by a
British or French cruiser before she
could get Into American territorial
waters.
RHAETIA'S SAXMXG CANCELED
Hamburg-American liner Halted

cree of a state of war, the sailing of
the Hamburg - American line ship
Rhaetia from this port today for Ham
burg with 60 cabin and IS steerage
passengers and a large general cargo
was canceled by the home office. The
sailing was indefinitely postponed.
Marine insurance rates here rose to
day from a normal of 1 per cent to 10
mi- cent, and even at the high rate
the majority of the companies here
refused to transact business.

OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. L (Special)
Initiative bill No. 7, which proposed to
abolish tbe State Bureau of Inspection

Austrlans and Hungarians as to the
