Depends on Rojestvensky.
Toklo, By Cable.?The reported departure
of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
from llon-Koe Bay northward renews
the popular expectation of a
naval action in (lie near futuro. It is
believed that Admiral ltojestvonsky.
| having filled his coal bunkers and re!
supplied his fleet is now in a condition
to assume the aggressive, if he so
desires. It is the opinion of some
that Rojestvensky may make a demonstration
in the vicinity of the islands
of Formosa and the Pescadores and
then enter the Pacific en route for
Vladvostock. This is, however, purely
speculative. Every thing depends
upon Admiral Rojestvensky's plans,
which, while as yet undisclosed, may
include an extended stay in Southern
waters.

ARMOUR MAN ADMI1S CHARGES
Entire South Atlantic Coast and Parts
Of th# West Art "Exclusive" Territory
For ths Armours?Under Contracts
With the Railroads.
Washington, Special.?Before the
6enato committc on Inter-State commerce,
which is investigating railroad
rates, President (leorge It. Bobbins, of
the Armour Car Lines Company, admitted
that the company had twenty or
thirty exclusive contracts with rail- j
AA.U t
luuvis lur iruit iraiiBportation business,
and acknowledge a monopoly of that
ttaffic in p..rts of the West and South.
Wherever these exclusive contracts applied,
ho admitted, the producers and
Bhippers of fruit had to accept the ratoj
laid down by tho Armours. He claimed
that his company was a private one,
and therefore not subject to the interState
commerce laws.
Tho Armours, he said, had exclusive
contracts with all the South Atlantic
coast railways, and exclusive contracts
in East Tennessee. Fruit producers
and shippers on these exclusive lines
had to accept the rates of the Armour
Company, but Mr. Robblns said they
satisfied 80 per cent, of tiie shippers.
C. W. Robinson, representing the
New Orleans hoard of trade and the
Central Yellow Pine Lumber Association,
testified that Eastern trunk lines
should be restrained from diverting the
grain of the Northwest from its natural
outlet at New Orleans. He advocated
enlarged powers for the inter-State
commerce commission. Mr. Robinson
said that the railroads operating in the
South had advanced yellow pine lumber
rates, and charged that there were
indirect rebutes or discriminations by
manipulation of rates. He referred to
practices of hilling lumber to small
towns and then re-hilling to destinations.
by which a cheaper rate for a
long haul is granted. This, he said, is
discrimination agaiilst shippers.
Hearing in Car Shortage.
Washington. Special. ? Testimony
given Wednesday before the Senate
Committee on Inter-State Commere
had much to do with the Inadequate
supply of private cars that resulted in
the loss of thousands of dollars to
North Carolina strawberry growers.
Mo6t important of all was the admisct
n of Oeorge P. Robbins. president
of the Axmour Car Line, which has an
exclusive contract with the Atlantic
Coast Line, that the company had |
failed to deliver a sufficient number of >
cars in North Carolina, ami that it
is now adjusting claims that will '
amount to {73.000. Mr. Robbins said
t.Ye loss to the company would he more j
than it had made and would make iu
many years from the Carolina berry
business
nace to tngiand On.
Now York, Special.?A splendid flo^
of sailing yachts swept across a starting
line at Sandy Hook light ship at
12:1") p. m. Wednesday, and with tho
Queenly American schooner Atlantio
leading the way headed out into the
broad Atlantic Ocean on a race of 3,000
miles to the English coast for a $5,000
cup offered by Emperor William of Germany.
When last seen as they vanished
into the mist they were strung out
in a line six miles long, heading southeastward
and pointing as nearly as possible
to a wind that was dead ahead.
A quarter of a mile astern of the At- i
lantic was the 90-foot American yawl
Aisla. which was having a hot brush
with the German schooner Hamburg,
while all three of the leaders were
6lowl.v dropping the Philadelphia
schooner Hildegarde. Next was the
Endymion. holder of the trans-Atlantic
yachting record. Almost a mile
astern of the Atlantic and more than
half mile astern of the Endymion were
the Thistle and Fleur de Lys. Strung
out behind were the American bark
Apache, the British topsail schooner
Sunbeam, and five miles astern the
leader wns the American three-masted !
schooner Ptowana. Bringing up the
rear was the British clipper ship Valhalla.
These two had been delayed by
a had start.

Declares Reports False.
Berlin, By Cable?The Foreign Office,
replying to an inquiry regarding the
sxeitement at Tokio over the report
that German troops had occupied Haichou.
in the southern part of the Shantung
Pensinula, says the report is
wholly incorrect and one of several reports
designed to make it appear that
Germany Is attempting in Shantung
what Russia did in Manchuria. Tho
German government is doing nothing
in Shantung outside of fulfilling her
treaty agreement with China, which )
fact has been communicated to both
the Washington and Tokio governments.
STRIKE MORE ACUTE
.
Fears Entertained That All Chicago
May Suffer Upheaval
RACE RIOT THE OPENING PHASE
6trike of 2,400 Teamsters Employed
by Lumbermen Is Inevitable and tho
Movement Will Undoubtedly Spread
to Affiited Industries.
Chicago,
Special.?Sunday brought
no changes in tho attitude of either
side of the labor controversy now in
progress in Chicago, and everything
Sunday night points toward an extension
of the teamsters' strike during the
coming week. Officers of seven express
companies, whose refusal to reinstate
any of their former employes caused
the collapse of the settlement of the
trouble Saturday night, still adhere to
their determination not to give employment
to any of their former employes.
and other firms involved in tho
difficulty declared that they would
stand by the express rotnpanies in the
fight. The Teamsters" union has taken
Just as firm a stand as the employers,
anil it was said l\v President Shea Saturday
night that the union would not
call off the strike until the express
companies came to terms.
The first soread of the strike Is expected
Monday morning, when the
lumbermen's association, an organization
employing 2.400 teamsters, issues
an order to their men to make deliveries
to all business houses regardless
of whether or not they are
Involved in the strike. In anticipation
of such an order, the teamsters met
Sunday afternoon and voted to go on
strike should any teamster be dis? barged
for refusal to obey the order of the
lumbermen's association.
GKNAHAT. rPHKVAI, AT HAND.
With non-union drivers making deliveries
for lumbermen, the strike will
undoubtedly spread to affiliated industries.
as to union men employed on
buildings will refuse to handle material
delivered by non-union labor. Should
this lumbermen's strike be called Monday?and
there is nothing now to indicate
how it can be averted?there
seems to be nothing that can prevent
an upheval throughout Chicago.
PRESIDENT GOMPERS ACTIVE.
After talking over the situation with
Mayor Dunne and Sheriff Barrett in
the mayor's office Sunday, President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of l,abor. withdrew from the conferenco
to consult with President Shea, of the

"I have been discussing the outloolc
with Mayor Dunne and Sheriff Barrett."
said Mr. Gompers. "They asked
me to use mv influence and to do everything
i possibly could to prevent
the extension of the strike. 1 told them
1 was willing to do everything I could
in an advisory capacity to bring about
peace."
At the end of the conference Mayor
Dunne said that its purpose had been
to discover whether it was necessary
to increase the police force Monday,
lie said:
"Should there he an extension of the
strike with a resumption of the rioting
of two weeks ago. there is a probability
that troops will he called to maintain
order."
Sheriff Barrett said that he would
continue swearing in deputies and will
make special efforts to Increase their
number.

GREAT CHANCE
From Chnnirn In Food."
The brain depends much more on tH8
stomach than wo are apt to suppose until
"we tnke thought In the matter.
Feed the stomach on proper food easy
to digest and containing the proper
amount of phosphates and the healthy
brain will respond to all demands. A
notable housewife In Buffalo writes:
"The doctor diagnosed my trouble as
n 'nervous affection of the stomach.* I
was actually so nervous Ihnt I eonld
not sit still for five minutes to rend tho
newspaper, and to attend to my household
duties was simply impossible. I
dprtorod all the time with re.modlcB,
but medicine did no good.
"My physician put me on nil sorts of
diet, and T tried many kinds of cereal
foods, but none of them agreed with
me. I was almost discouraged, and
when I tried Grape-Nuts I did so with
many misgivings?I bad no faith that it
would succeed where everything else
had failed.
"Hut it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad ! am that I tried It. I

There's a reason.
Now why was this great change made
in this woman?
The stomach md the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild nnd strengthen the
nerve centres in these organs. It ia absolute
folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way,
nnd that iR to quit the old food that has
failed and take on Grape-Nuts food,
which Is n:\re than half digested in the
process of manufacture and Is rich in
the phosphate of potash contained In
the nntural grain, which unites with
albumen nnd water the only three
substances that will make up the soft
gray tilling in the thousands of dellcnte
nerve centres In the hraln nnd body.
