STOP SEIZURES
Only Goods for Japanese
Government Contraband.
ARABIA CASE FAR f ROM SETTLED
Protest to Russia Being Prepared
by Secretary Hay War Ruling
Cannot Be Accepted.
Washington, Aug. 15. Secretary
Hay is preparing a protest against the
- confiscation of a portion of the cargo of
the Iiambuie-American steamer
Arabia, under the terms of the finding!
of the prize court at Vladivostok, and
as soon as the papers are complete
will foiward them to Ambassador Mc
cormick, at St. Petersburg, for preeen
tation to the Russian government
Along with this protest Secretary Hay
will file a general protest against furth-
r seizures of American goods and sup
plies consigned to Japanese ports un
less it can be shown that the goods are
intended for the use of the Japanese
military or naval forces.
It will be made plain that this gov
ernment does not subscribe to the Rus
sian view of contraband of war, and
will not consent to the seizure of its
goods on the grounds on which a por
tien of the Arabia's cargo is held at
Vladivostok. To strengthen his pro
test, Secretary Hay will forward to St
Petersburg affidavits laid before him
by a representati re of the owners of the
flour that had been seized, conclusively
showing that it was consigned to com
mercial houses in Japan, and not to
agents of the Japanese government.
The state department has been ad'
-vised that the proceedings of the Vladi
vostok prize court are to be reviewed
by a superior board at the Russian
capital, and it is the intention to have
the American protest on hand in time
to be passed upon by that body.
As yet the owners of the flour and
railway supplies that were seized have
not submitted to the state department
any claim atain-!t the Russian govern
ment, apparently assuming that Rus
sia rray yield to Secretary I lay's pro
test and release the goods now held
If the goods have been used by the
Russians, or if for some other reason
the release is impracticable, and Rus
sia 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 depart
ment that the matter will eventually
be adjusted in this manner, and that
the owners of the confiscated goods will
be fully reimbursed.
POWERS STAY OUT.
America to Have free Rein in Deal
ing With Turkey.
Washington, Aug. 12. The United
States will not become involved with
great foreign powers in its dealings
with the sultan of Turkey. '1 he an
nouncement conies tonight from a
source of unquestionable reliability
that assurances have been given the
president that the signatory powers
will in no way interfere witn the
United States in its present attempt to
secure equal rights in the Ottoman em
pile for American subjects.
At what time this was done, or the
moans by which it was accomplished,
it is not stated, but the feat that two
foreign ambassadors, Baron von Stern
berg, of Germany, and Baron Hengel
inuller, of Austria, representatives of
two of the signatory powers to the
treaty guaranteeing the integrity of
the Ottoman empire, have hurried
here from their pleasant retreats in
Bar llatboi and Lennox, and have had
occasion to lunch with President
Roosevelt, may, in a great measure, ex
plain tho methods by which these as
surances have been extended. The
Austrian ambassador returned to Maine
last night.
Will Carry Big Cargo to Japan.
Seattle, Aug. 15. When the Boston
Steamship company's liner Tremont
mailed from here on Saturday morning
ehe carried 14,000 tons of freight for
the Orient, including a vast amount of
foodstuffs for Japan. In the cargo
were 280,000 sacks, or 14,000,000
pounds of flour, of which 100,000 sacks
are going to China and the remainder
to Japan. The vessel also took about
400 tons of field supplies for the army
in the Philippines, but no arms or am
munition. Tear Railroad Will Be Cut.,
Mjikden, Aug. 15. There is much
speculation as to whether the Japanese
inter d to attempt to turn General
Kuropatkin's left flank between here
and Liao Yang, or north of Mukden.
Tin? Russians appear well satisfied with
the situation. Orfivert and i;en antici
pate a big battle around Liao Yang,
but the fear is expressed that the Jap
anese, instead of joining issue there,
will seek to turn the Russian position
above Mukden and cut the railroad.
State of Siege Proclaimed.
Paris, Aug. 15. The foreign office

HOME POR PR I END LESS.
Institution in Iowa Supported by All
Denominations.
"In low whisper, looking up, she said.
I am so hungry do not tarn away.
Give me one penny, please, to bay some bread,
For I have eaten nothing all this day."
"Tbe upturned face and whisper soft and low,
Plead with a power that would not be denied ;
And as sne spoke ner pale lips trembled so,
Crush d in an instant all my selfish pride."
"She sits beside me, in these happier years.
With angel face, tho' still a child in form.
And when she prays, I hear thro' grateful tears,
Her thanks to Him who shelters from the
storm."
Twenty-one years ago three little
children were suddenly bereft of father
and mother they were friendless and
homeless ; but it was only .one of the
many similar instances happening
every day only three little children
left friendless and homeless; that was
all. But it was a crucial moment in at
least one life. Rev. J. G. Lemen was
at that time pastor of a large church
in Council Bluffs, la. This man
whose heart was large enough to find a
place for every unfortunate one, took
these children into his own home,
where they shared the same leving
tender care that was bestowed upon his
own little ones. It was not long be
fore he learned of other children who
had been left to the cold mercies of s
selfish world. Moved with com pas
sion, he took these, also, to his already
overcrowded home. Then came the
test; money was needed. He had a
few thousand dollars which he had
saved up for a rainy day. He little
knew what the Master had in store for
him ; but he was obedient, and when
the news came that other little help
less ones had been left alone, fatherless
and motherless, and the command came
to take these also, to the ordinary man,
with hie house filled to overflowing and
a large congregation looking to him to be
fed spiritually, it would have seemed
like an impossibility; not so, however,
with this man; it was enough for nim
to know that his Master approved of it
and bid him to do it. As he stepped
out upon His promises and obeyed the
command to go forward, the way opened
before him, and when he had exhausted
his own competency, never doubting
but that a way would be provided to
supply their needs, He who owns the
cattle upon a thousand hills moved
upon the hearts of His iaithful sub
jects to send of their substance that
these little, homeless ones might be
cared for. Larger quai ters became
necessary, and they were secured.
From a small beginning, twenty-one
years ago, the Christian Home has
grown until now about twe hundred
and fifteen children are cared for there,
and two thousand have been placed in
good Christian families. The real es
tate consists of about twenty-five cot
tages and other buildings, all owned
by an organization which has been
formed through the efforts of Mr
Lemen with a view of making it a per
manent organization.
The scrupulous neatness and order
that pervades the entire institution,
the loving salutation of "Hello papa!"
tnat rings out from every quarter as
he passes about the -grounds, and the
remarkable executive ability he dis
plays in all the management of the
affans of the Home, are sufficient to-
mpress every 'visitor that ii is no ordi
nary man who nas been called to this
great and noble work. Children are
taken here from any part of the globe,
and have the best possible care and
training. You, my readers, wherever
you may be, may have a part in this
grand work. It is a labor of love in
behalf of all homeless, suffering chil
dren everywhere. The children are
frequently adopted by Christian peo
ple, but are never allowed to go from
the Heme excepting into Christian
families who are properly vouched for
nd families of children are never sep
lated. The Christian Home is non-
ectarian, but is heartily endorsed and
upported by all denominations. It
takes children from every state and it
is not a local affair, but belongs to the
world.
We have given this brief description
of the Christian Home with the hope
that all who raed it will become inter
ested in its welfare. If you have
money which the Master desires you to
use for such purposes, send it to this
Home. There is no institution thatis
more worthy of your gift than this.

Massacre Is Feared.
London, Aug. 13. James Bryce,
member of the house of commons.
has received a telegram stating that
the Kurds are invading the province of
Bayazid, and a massacre of the Armeni
ans is feared. Five hundred Armeni
ans fled to the Russian frontier and
were pursued by Turkish soldiers and
Kurds. An insurgent band came to
the assistance of the Armenians, and
heavy fighting ensued, many on both
sides being killed. Cossacks also fired
on tbe Armenians and afterwards plun
dered them.
Russia Not Considering Revision.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 13. The Asso
ciated Press hears from a high source
that at the foreign office here the ques
tion of revising the list of contraband
is not under consideration, and that
there is little likelihood of any modifi
cations being made in the Russian dec
laration at present. Nevertheless, tl e
Novosti urges the acceptance of the
American and British views in order to
prevent causes fox discontent among
neutral powers.
TO END STRIKE
Butchers, Grocers and Others
Hold Conference.
WILL WAIT ON THE PACKERS
Effort Will Be Made to Settle Strug
gle by Mediation Gompers Asked
to Come to Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 12. Determined
efforts are now being made to settle
the stoekrards strike by mediation
Negotiations begun today between the
retail Butchers' and Groceis' associa
tion with representatives of several
labor unions, which will undoubtedly
be involved in the strike, should it be
prolonged much longer, resulted to
night in the appointment of a commit
tee composed of those who attended to
dav's meeting, to negotiate with the
packers tomorrow morning in an at
tempt to bring about a joint meeting
between the employers and tbe striking
unions. It was the sentiment of all
who attended today's conference that
should the meeting be arranged be
tween the two opposing interests,
settlement satisfactory to both sides
could be realized.
Meantime, bamuel Gompers, presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, has been summoned from New
York to see if he cannot accomplish
something through mediation. Mr
Gompers will arrive here Sunday morn
ing.
The packers toniuht declined to
make any comment on what, if any
success might be expected irom the
meeting.
" We cannot very well discuss this
matter now," said one of the packers
representatives tonight. "We now
have our affairs in a better condition
than at any time since the strike was
declared, and as for myself, I am un
able to see on what grounds we could
meet the strikers."
Under tbe direction of Mayor Har
rison, who was urged to take the step
by a committee composed of labor
leaders and several aldermen, an inves
tigation into the sanitary conditions of
the various packing plants where strike
breakers are being housed was begun
today. Several of the plants were
visited, but no flagrant violations of
the law were found. The investiga
tions will be continued.
Tonight the packers sent a com'
munication to Mayor Harrison, deny'
ing that they are keeping lodging
houses not in compliance with the or
dinances.
ARMY IS AWAY.
The Russians are Retreating North
of Liao Yang.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 12. Again the
chance of a decisive battle between
General Kuropatkin and the command
er of tbe Japanese army seems to be
disappearing. According to a state
ment issued by the general staff to
night,, rains are again falling over a
wide area of Manchuria with the pros
pect of impeding operations, but even
more important is the information
reaching the Associated Press tonight
from an exceptional source that the
Japanese have once more delayed too
long. General Kuropatkin has now
withdrawn the bulk of his army safely
north of Liao Yang.
According to this information, the
Japanese have about 300,000 men in
the armies operating against Kuropat
kin, rendering it too hazardous for him
to risk a general engagement. The gen
eral staff has no information bearing on
the reported presence of a large force of
Japanese at Paithuhi, a place that can
not be located on available maps. The
report agrees, however, with the gen
eral tenor of the information received
by the Associated Press and here given,
that General Kuropatkin is already re
treating north of Liao Yang.
The advantages of the new Japanese
base at Niu Chwang in greatly simpli
fying the problem of provisioning their
armv rs fully realized. The rumor
that they are moving up towards Sim
intin, a short distance west of Mukden,
from Niu Cwang is generally believed.
The appearance of the Japanese on
the t)ther side of Mukden would almost
pocket General Kuropatkin and he re
solved to accept battle with his whole
army at Liao Yang.
What Porte Expects of Russia.
Constantinople, Aug. 12. The porte
has definitely accepted the assurances
of Russia as to the character of the vol
unteer fleet vessels seeking to traverse
the Dardanelles. In a note to the Rus
sian embassy agreeing to the exit of
the steamers the porte emphasizes the
fact that its understanding of the Rus
sian statement is : Vessels of the vol
unteer fleet shall not carry arms or mu
nitions of war; they shall fly the com
mercial flag throughout the voyage,
and shall traverse the straits separate
ly at stated intervals.
Condemns the Thea.
Vladivostok, Aug. 12. The prize
court today condemned the German
steamer Thea, which was sunk by the
Vladivostok squadron off the coast of
Japan. July 24, and declared that the
Russian cruisers were justified in sink
ing the vessel. Evidence was produced
that the Thea was chartered by a Jap
anese company and that since March
25 she had been engaged exclusively in
the Japanese trade between Japanese
ports.
Bandits Surprise Russia.
London, Aug. 12. The Tientsin cor
respondent of the Standard says that
8,000 Chinese bandits attacked the Rus
sian camp in the Tieb Pass Auugst 2.
The Russians were taken by surprise
and many were killed.
MEANS MOVE TOWARD MUKDEN.
Japanese Concentration Shows At
tempt Will Be Made to Cut Line.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 11. Although
Lieutenant General Sakharoff reports
tnat there :s no change in the situation
around Liao Yang, it is evident from
the special dispatches to the Associated
Press from Liao Yang and Sintsintin
that the Japanese are continuing their
preparations for a flanking movement
which may possibly alter the nature of
the expected engagement at Liao Yang,
and which may also further delay the
crucial development. "
The conentration of a strong Japan
ese forces at Siamatze indicates an in
tention to press forward toward Muk
den, and if possible to cut tbe commu
nications and prevent General Kuro
patkin from retiring northward. Gen
eral Kuropatkin is evidently aware of
this move, and is sending out recon-
noitering parties from Sintsintin along
the Saimatze road. This is shown by
the slight en :ounter with a Japanese
outpost within 30 miles of Sintsintin.
The Japanese are also bringing strong
forces from Yinkow.
Column marching from Niu Chwang
with the evident intention of flanking
Liao Yang from the westward, included
10,000 Chinese from the island of For
mosa, who are Japanese subjects. The
Associated Press correspondent at Liao
Yang points to the alarming character
of this develoment, and fears that the
example may prove contagious. If the
local Chinese are induced to loin the
Japanese it will be impossible to dis
tinguish the Formosan and Manchurian
Chinese. This revives the spector of
Chinese embroilment, with the more
remote possibility of foreign entangle
ments.
There is considerable anxiety re
garding the presence of General Yuan
Shi Kai, commander in chief of the
Chinese forces, and Geneial Ma, with
strong forces of troops in the north,
lest, should a convenient opportunity
present itself, they would be tempted
to overstep the bounds of neutiality.
ALASKA MAY PIND FAULT.
Department Does for Bankers What
It Would Not for Territory.
Washington, D. C, Aug. 11. The
poetomce department, by issuing an
order today at the behest of capitalists
and bankers of New York, eliminating
all weight restrictions on first class
mail matter addressed to foreign coun
tries where domestic rates do not ap
ply, lays itself open to criticism of
discriminating against Alaska. Last
winter an effort was made to induce
the department to waive the weight
restrictions on first-class mail matter,
so that Alaska miners might ship their
gold to states by mail in packages
weighing more than four pounds, but
this privilege was denied. Shippers
represented through congressmen that
they were now at the mercy of the
transportation companies, who weie
charging exhorbitant rates to bring
gold to the states, and they therefore
sought the privilege of shipping by
mail. The department then held it
could not amend its regulation. Now,
however, it amends the regulation in
order that the banks may more conven
iently ship their securities abroad.
VEST IS NO MORE.
Ex-Senator Passes Away at His
Home in Missouri.
Sweet Springs, Mo., Aug. 10. After
lingering for weeks between life and
death, ex-Senator George Vest passed
peacefully away yesterday. He had
been so near death for the last three
days that the end came without a
struggle. He was conscious until about
o'clock Sunday morning, when he
sank into a state of coma from which
he never aroused He lost the power
speeth Saturday morning, but for
several days before that he talked very
imperfectly: and during the last 36
hours of his life his breathing was
bare.y perceptible. The flutter of his
pulse was all that showed that life still
remained.
At the bedside when the end came
were his wite, Vi. Jarvis, the family
physician; Senator Vest's son Alexan
der, his daughter, Mrs. George P.
Jackson, and her husband, and Mrs.
Thopmson, a niece of Mrs. Vest.
The remains were taken to St. Louis
last evening for interment in the pri
vate car of A. A. Allen, vice president
and general manager of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railroad.
Will Inspect Submarine Mines.
Washington, Aug. 11. Captain
Geoige F. Barney, of the artillery corps,
was today detailed for special duty as
inspector of submarine mines, and will
proceed to the harbors ol San Diego,
the mouth of the Columbia river and
Puget Bound for the purpose of inspect
ing and reporting on the condition and
sufficiency of submarine mining mater
ial and the scope and extent of subma
rine instruction in those harbors.
Upon completion of this duty he will
report to the commanding officer of the
artillery district of Puget sound.
Capital City finally Chosen.
Melbourne, Victoria, Aug. 11. The
ocation of the federal capital, so long
dispute, is believed to have been
finally settled by a vote today in the
house of representatives, approving'
Dalgaty, in the Bombaal district.
Dalgaty had previously been selected
by the senate. Dalgaty is situated 296
miles south of Sydney, New South
Wales, and is 23 miles fiom the near

is under 300.
Japanese Losses Put at 23,000.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 11. The Buss

Automatic Fountain.
An Ohio man gives this description
of his poultry fountain: Every poul
tryman knows how difficult it is to
keep good," clean water for a' large
flock of hens shut up in a house or
yard. If furnished in an open vessel
it is soon lowered out of reach or filled
with dirt and litter by their scratching.
Various small fountains are on the
market which do for little chicks, but
large fowls shut in a warm house
drink a great deal and require lots of
time and attention. The accompanying
cut shows an automatic fountain which
I devised for use in my poultry house.
It is made of a 10-gallon keg. A pint
tin cup Is connected by a small tube
to the lower end, from which the
chickens drink. To fill the keg the
tube Is corked, then the cork is taken

the cup If the tube be an Inch or more
below the top. One cup will water
gooa-sizea nock, xwo or more cups
may be used If necessary. The foun
tain should be set on a box about eight
Inches high, just so the hens can reach
It and not throw dirt into the cup by
scratching. With this arrangement
they have plenty of clean water and
require our attention but once a day.
Care of the Horse.
During the busy months of the year,
farmers are anxious to get all the
work possible out of their horses.
which Is proper enough. Food alone
will not do the trick. A horse may be
fed the best of rations, but he needs
care in addition, so try these things
which may seem simple, but which
will do a great deal toward making
the horse contented and more valuable
to you. Keep his coat clean, not only
by brushing and the use of the comb.
but use water on him freely, especial
ly during the warm period.
When his work for the day is done
take a sponge and wash each part of
his coat where the harness touched.
If his muscles are sore, take equal
parts of iodine and sweet oil, mix them
and rub the mixture well into the
Joints and tendons. Wash out his
mouth occasionally and take care of
his feet. Above all. In warm weather,
see that his stable. Is well ventilated
and that screens are placed so that
vermin are kept from annoying him.
In watering the horse, let him have it
before eating, and also a small supply
between meals, even if he Is warm. It
will not hurt him unless you give him
too much.
Handy Harrow.
The harrow herewith illustrated is
8 feet long by 4 feet wide, with eight
teeth in each beam. The teeth should
be of -Inch eteel and put through
not more than two inches. This makes
a fine comb harrow which cuts all the
top and does not pull up trash. Each
beam Is attached to the pulling bar
with a hook and drop link. Through
the middle is an inch rod put through
thimbles, one being slipped over each
beam as shown at a. This makes the
harrow flexible. By withdrawing the
Inch rod and unhooking from the pull-
ing bar. It can be sheltered in very
small space. A boy can handle it.
The harrow Is very easy to draw, the
beams being near the ground act as
levelers, while the teeth cover every
Inch of ground. J. Flomefell, in

Money In Berries.
Puyallup, WTash., is the home of a
man who gets $1,000 a year from one
acre planted in berries. His crop con
sists of the Washington dewberry and
red raspberries. The little farm Is' in
the center of the city and contains a
neat six-room cottage and nice front
lawn. A cow and flock of 200 chickens

Renewing? Strawberry Beds.
Without donbt the digging of new
plants and setting them regularly In
the place they are to grow is the best
way of obtaining tne new strawberry
bed. True, this requires considerable
labor and the selection of the best run
ners from the old bed. If this plan is
to be followed the best plants will be
obtained by going over the old bed
as the runners are forming and keep
ing the tips cut off to one or more
plants, so as to obtain strong plants
for re-setting. Another advantage of
this plan is that Just the number of
plants that may be set in a given pe
riod are dug, so that none are left to
dry out as with plants bought.
The other plan of making the new
bearing plantation is a good one, and
quite generally followed, especially
where the berries are grown on the
matter row plan. The mower Is run
over the field after the crop is gathered
and, after raking off the cut plants, a
light plow is run through the field and
about one-half or more of the plants
cut out, leaving the w ones, which
will be about a foot apart, composed
of the new plants. Care is required
in this work, but the results will be
profitable, provided the new plants
formed are strong.
The "Golden Belt."
Kansas grows more and better wheat
than any State in the Union. The
crop of 1901 was 90,000,000 bushels;
the crop of 1903 was still larger. This
Is one-seventh of the entire crop of the
United States, one-thirtieth of the
world's wheat crop. No wonder a hot
wind or a rain in Kansas causes a
flurry in the wheat pit of Chicago.
To those who would but do not
know it may be said that the "golden
belt" Implies a section of Kansas con
sisting of about 50 counties running
north and south through the central
part of the State. Thirty-five of these
counties in 1903 yielded over 1,000,000
bushels of wheat each. In 1901 one
county (Sumner) was credited with a
yield of nearly 7,000,000 bushels of
wheat, which is greater than the total
output for the same year of all the
New England States and several addi
tional States thrown In for good meas
ure. Of this vast quantity of wheat
only about 12,000,000 bushels Is con
sumed in Kansas: The rest must go
elsewhere, until now there is not a
country on earth where Kansas wheat
or flour Is not favorably known.
Selecting; Seed Corn.
The true selection of a better breed
of corn Is not confined to the selection
of the best ears by any means, al
though this is the popular idea of corn
improvement As every corn raiser
knows, certain seed will raise corn
that is almost ideal, so far as the ear
goes, but there are but few ears on a
plant.
This being the case, It is evident
that the true selection of corn is the
selection of the plants which show the
desired characteristics all through their
growth up to the time of harvest, so
that the plants should be closely
watched from the time they break
ground and thus securing the habit of
growth as well as the perfection of ear
so desirable.
Many of the plants will make a
stronger growth than others and ripen
the full crop earlier; if such a plant
is what is desired, It can only be found
by watching its growth through the
season. Then if the yield is all that
is desired one comes pretty near hav
ing the ideal plant and one which is.
probably, capable of even greater Im
provement. Agre of Eers.
An Eastern paper recently published
lengthy article on how to tell the
age of eggs. While the article is very
interesting and the information it con
tains is no doubt accurate and relia
ble, we are of the opinion that to the

out of eggs it is not very material.
The only good egg is the fresh one,
and the way to make the most money
out of the sate of eggs Is to get them
Into the hands of the consumer as
soon as it can be done after they are
laid. Guaranteed strictly fresh eggs
always find ready sale, and generally
at a premium this time of year. Ex

Fowls in confinement need a variety
