Chicago, Aug. a. Standard OH al
torneya, who have been working night
and day since tha trust was fined S2t,
I40.00S by Judje Landla last week for
sccepUng rebates from the Chicago A
Alton railroad, filed formal notice this
morning of appeal from tha court'a de-
, clsloa ana me ngni or ne monopoly win

circuit court of appeals: Should the
Standard lose at this Juncture the su
preme court of tha United States la the
last resort
It Is stated that tha circuit court of
appeala will not wasta time la handing
down a decision when the case finally
reaches there, and it la believed that
within comparatively few months the
final decision will have been made on
Judge Landis decision should ths case
be crowded to the highest tribunal la

The appeal ,a based mainly upon tha
grounds that tne nne asaeraea is exoioi
i.nt without tha boundsof reason and
wholly unjustified by tha evidence pro
duced during the hearing. Besides this
I la anued imi ine court was oiasea
snd the ruling prejudiced, and there are
ether minor points and errors brought
; forward as grounds for tha appeal for
new Bearing.
- While Standard attorneya are strug
gling to ward off the penalty prescribed
by Judge Landla, government experts
are busy drawing up Indictments against
the railroads alleged, to have granted
rebates and concessions to the oil trust

very short time and, with the convening
of yMedera! grand Jury on August 14.

Elder.
Shortly after daylight this morning
the Elder and City of Panama weighed
anchors and made a new start, there
being about 500 feet of water between
the dredge and the shore to the east
The Elder got through allrlghjt, but the
City of Panama waa caught in the cur
rent, dragged in the same course as the
Alliance and brought up against her
stern with full force. The engines had
been reversed, but somehow they filled
to stop her in the 10 to 100 feet before
her when the collision appeared un
avoidable.
Steamer Cling- Together.
Tha river steamer Diamond O had
been pulling the Alliance all night .to
get ner into oeep water and waa along'

the smaller craft. Only tha fact that
tha Alliance la a wooden hull saved tha
City of Panama from having. her bow
doubled up, because tha Impact must
have been pretty hard, since the one
boat waa hard aground and tha other
came on with sufficient force to cut
sis feet through strongly reenforced
wooden walla
Captain Nelson of the Panama re
ported to Inspector Fuller that he had

on tha Cross current The matter will
not be taken up for official action until

should it appear clearly that the col
lision wss unavoidable.
The Alliance la in command of Can-
tain xi. uison. Tne vessel was in charge
of Pilot Turner, however, who says that
he never experienced such a peculiar
cross current befora In the river during
nia many rears or service as niiot. lie
dosa not blame anyone or anything but
the peculiar current which proved most
deceiving.
Wot Snow ValaakT,
Pilot Snow who had chares of the
City of Panama was on the George W.
Elder when tha latter ran on the rock
and sank near OobVe some rears a fro.
and he waa also on the bridge of the Co
lumbia when she collided with the steam
schooner Despatch at the mouth of the
Willamette a little over a year ago. He
la considered s good and careful navi
gator, however. Another peculiar coin
cidence in connection with the collision
wss tha fact that Second Officer A rerun
of the loat Columbia waa on tha bridge
this mornins? in the same official ca-
actty on tha City of Panama. Captain.
eison. too, waa on tne oriage at tne
time, and the navigation of tha craft
waa entirely In the hands of Pilot Snow.
so no blame could be attached to either
of tha officers, nor could any blame at
all be attached to any one.

POWERFUL FLEET TO BE

Asiatic Squadron Ordered to California Coast Under Com

(Journal Special Berries.)
Washington, D. C., "Aug. 8. From
authentic sources It Is learned that the
administration has under way well de
fined plana for the mobilization In the
Pad no of a powerful cruiser fleet, ar
rangements for which will begin at

Orders have been issued for almost
tha entire cruiser strength of the
Asiatic squadron to ' be brought across

it will be stationed at various vantage
points. This new fleet will be in com
mand of Bear Admiral Dayton who has
been ordered to leave Manila soon with

tions between tha United States and
Japan over exclusion.-, The state de
partment seised on Japan's latest step in
the benevolent asslmHaUon... of Korea
as a favorite time to advance the exclu
sion negotiations and made an offer to
Japsn of three things In consideration
of the exclusion of Japanese laboivra,
namely:.- -

Second Consenting to a " Japanese

Third Naturalisation for Japanese In

Moreover, while It Is not 'charged that
Japan Is not keeping faith with . tha
United States in denying -passports to
laborers, both skilled and unskilled, it
is declared to be a ract tnat many or
the "students, merchants, travelers and
servants" coming m on passports event
ually turn out to be mere laborers.
How to prevent this is what President
Roosevelt hopes the trip of Secretary
Strauss will" teach him. " Meanwhile
agents of the 'government are keeping
very, close watch on things and Presi
dent ' Roosevelt has hopes that some
thing may turn up to enaBle him to
keep his promise without waving the
big stick or increasing the tension be
tween this country and Japan. H waa
hoped that the consent, to a customs
union In Korea which would give Japan
free entrance for goods would be a
cleve mover but from the indifference
of Japan it might be inferred that the
process of "assimilation.? .will take lees
tuna, waa woug&w
should hostile warships come from the
east through the Sues canal.
Present plans, which will be well un
der way within the next few weeks, will
bring together off the California coast
by the end of December four divisions
of the armed fleet, each of them repre
senting an aggregate of 160,000 tons.
Dayton's fleet of the first squadron
consists of the West Virginia, Colora
do, Maryland, Pennsylvania, all with 18
funs. The second division contains the
ennessee, Washington, of 20 guns, the
California. South Dakota, 18 guns. The
third division, the St. Louis, Charleston
and Milwaukee of 14 guns, and the Chi
cago with 18. The ships in the first
squadron are all 13,680 tons.
. If Japan strikes a sudden blow at
the Philippines other Pacific . insular
possessions will be left at Japan's
mercy so far as tha navy is concerned.
The present force in the far east Is in
sufficient to cope with an enemy and
any attempt to strengthen that force
will be resented by Japan as an
friendly act.
