I VIRGINIA DOES NOT INSTRUCT i
Delegates to the National Democratic
Convention As to Their Action.
Richmond, Va.t Special.?The State
Democratic convention reassembled j
Friday and adopted the platform just '
as it came from the committee. The !
question of instructing the delegates to ;
St. Louis for Parker came up and Sen- J
ator Daniels spoke in opposition to
e'ther endorsement or instruction. Mr.
Braxton favored expressing preference
for Parker. Senator Martin spoke
against endorsement of, or instructions
for, Parker, and the convention declined
to endorse or instruct. The convention
adopted the primary plan as
amended by the convention commit- j
tee. It provides that all State offices 1
shall be nominated by a secret primary j
ballot and the election safeguarded by ;
all the laws thrown around regular J
elections to prevent fraud. The conven- j
tion then adjourned.

Miners' Federation Replies.
Denver, Col., Special.?The executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners has issued a statement regarding
the situation in Cripple Creek, In
reply to the statement made by General
Sherman M. Bell and Secretary C.
C. Hamlin, of the Cripple Creek Distlct
Mine Owners' Association. It says:
"The only questions involved are the
enforcement of the eight-hour day, the
right of men to organize in the unions
and to prevent discrimination against
union men of all kinds. The responsibility
for the lawlessness connected
with the contests rests entirely on the
.shoulders of the mine operators, the
Citizens' Alliance and their allies,
backed up by the ready power of the j
State government."
The events of the past week, the '
statement says, justify these accusations.
The statement says no deaths I
>ave occurred for which the Western J
Federation of Miners can be held responsible.

MAY" SEIZE FOODS
A New Phase of the War Situation
Develops
RUSSIA MAINTAINS HER VIEW
No Intention to Modify the Regulations
Defining Contraband of War
?Rice an Important Article of Food
in the Japanese Army.
St. Petersburg, By Cable.?The Russian
government has not yet returned
an answer to British Ambassador
Harding, relative to his government's
protest at Russia's declaration that
rice and other foodstuffs are contraband
of war, but the Associated Press
learns that there is no intention on
the part of the government to make
modifications to meet the British view.
The protest is based on the rule
observed by Great Eritain during the
Boer war, that even foodstuffs des
tined for a hostile country could be
considered contraband of war only if
intended for an enemy's forces. A
high Russian official called attention
to the fact that at the breaking out of
the war Russia was compelled to stop
at San Francisco a cargo of meat destined
for Vladisvostock, in order to
avoid its possible capture in conse
quence of the Japanese declaration
that it would be regarded as contraband.
"Rice is an important article of
food in the Japanese army, and the
question whether it should be declared
contraband was carefully considered
when the regulations were
being framed," said this official, "and
the declaration reported by Russia
entirely justified such an action. The
British government is disposed to regard
the question as an academic one,
but should steamers which are being
equipped as aAiliary cruisers proceed
to the Pac|fic and make captures
of ships loaded with provisions, complications
could easily arise."
Diplomatic circles are interested in
the attitude the United States wiil
adopt in the matter.
Piladivostock Fleet Bold.
London, By Cable.?The Standard's
correspondent at St. Petersburg hears
that a telegram from Vice-Admiral
Skreydloff states that on June 7th he
went within thirty miles of Port Arthur
with the Vladisvostock fleet, and
there ran into a fog. He found several
Japanese torpedo boats and battleships,
which attacked him fiercely and
inflicted some damage. The Russians
returned the fire, but as none of the
Port Arthur ships appeared, Vice-Admiral
SkreydlofT returned to Vladivostok,
where he arrived Friday
morning. The Daily Mail's correspondent
at Japanese headquarters, telegraphing
under date of June 11, says
four strong Japanese columns have
occupied Suen Chow, Saimatsza, Liao
Waling and Siu Yen. Suen Chow is
85 miles east of Mukden and Liao
Waling five miles northwest of Siu
Yen.
Submarine Boat is Merchandise.
Washington, Special.?The United
States government has received no
information regarding the reported
sale to the government of Japan of
the lake submarine boat Protector,
and the Navy Department does not
know where the boat is. But it
makes little difference from an international
point of view what has become
of this boat, in the opinion of
the State Department, since Hamilton
Fish, when Secretary of State,
laid down an opinion, to the effect
that a torpedo boat, capable of being
carried on the deck of a ship, might
properly be regarded as an article of .
merchandise and so might be sold to
belligerents, without violation of neutrality,
but subject to the risk of
seizure on the high seas.
Burial of Russian Dead.
Tokio, By Cable.?The military commission
assigned to bury the Russian
dead in the battle of Nanshan Hill,
at Kin Chou, May 26, presented its .
final report. It was found that ten
Russian officers and 664 men who fell
In the battle had been carefully buried

Somerset, Pa., Special.?Abner McKinley,
brother of the late President,
was found dead in a chair at his home
at 8 o'clock Saturday morning. His
death came without warning to his
family. It was due to Bright's disease,
which developed shortly after the death
of his distinguished brother, three
years ago. Since then Mr. Kinley has
devoted nearly all his time in a vain
jffort to overcome the fatal malady,
consulting the most eminent physicians
and traveling from one climate to another.
Two weeks ago he returned
from Tampa. Fla.. where he had been

That the union miners who went

Young's Death Accidental.
New York Special.?Justice Clark,
of the Supreme Court, denied the writ
of habeas corpus for the release of
Mic. Nan Patterson, who is held in
connection with the mysterious shooting
of Caesar Young, the well-known
book-maker and turfman. Mrs. Patterson
was remanded to the Tombs
prison, where she has been confined
since Young was shot to death in a
cab while he was driving to a steamship
pier in company with the young
woman, to sail for Europe with his
wife. Nominally, she is held as a
witness under $5,000 bond, but District
Attorney Jerome has intended
that in case of her release either by
ball or by any other means, she will
be immediately re-arrested. The case
took a new turn today, when Algeron
C. Meyer, of 253 Ea6t Second street,
Jacksonville, Fla., publicly announced
that ho was a witness to the killing
of Young, and stated that Young himself
held the revolver which fired the
fatal shot.
Engineer Kills*.

train No. 40 was wrecked Just outside
the city shortly after midnight, killing
the engineer, Tyler Haynes, and the
fireman, Jim Watkins. The locomotive
and postal car were overturned,
clue to the fact that three cars, loaded
with ice, were standing on the sidetrack,
which the locomotive plunged
Into. These loaded cars were thrown
up a 25-foot embankment by the force
of the impact. The train was running
about 35 miles an hour. Investigation
disclosed the fact that the switch lock
bad been broken off, the switch turned
and the light thrown away, the work
of some fiend with the deliberate purpose
of wrecking the train. Railroad
detectives are looking for the perpetrator
of the deed.
The Liberty Bell at St. Louis.
St. Louis, Special.?The historic liberty
bell arrived from Philadelphia,
Wednesday, accompanied by Mayor
Weaver and other Philadelphia city
officials. It was greeted at the
World's Fair grounds by 50,000
school children, for whom a holiday

The bell was escorted to the grounds
on a specially prepared float and by

rftizens.
Senator Taliaferro Nominated.
Jacksonville, Special.?Scattering re
turns in at 11 o'clock last night make
practically certain the re-nomination
of Senator Taliaferro and the nomination
of Frank Clarke for Congress. For ,
3overnor, Davis is in the lead, but the
precincts latest to be heard from will 1
probably diminish his lead. The con- '

Scene of Trouble 0
EVERYTHING NOW GETTING QUIET
The Miners Bid Good-Bye to Wives
and Sweethearts and are Marched

under the orders of Adjutant General
Sherman Bell, of the S^te National
Guard, a special train v.as made

baggage car and two day coaches. Almost
immediately, the work of oading
the men began. They were marched
to the train between heavy linet of
military and deputies. A crowd of fully
1,000 people had collected to see the
men placed on board. Among the
spectators were wives and sisters, fathers
and motners of the deported men
and the scenes were very affecting.
Mothers sisters and sweethearts cried
good-bye and tried to push through the
lines for a parting handshake.
Mayor Harris of this city, had been
informed of the decision to deport the v
men and immediately took steps to see a,
that none of them landed in Colorado
Springs. The train stopped long enough
at this place to give the soldiers time
to eat. The deported men had rations
of beans and bread on board.
Another party of exiled men will be
sent out of the district tomorrow.
Sixty men confined in the Cripple
Creek bull-pen were taken to the county
jail today, and' charges of murder

Mine Owners' Side Presented. v
Cripple Creek, Col., Special.?Clarence
C. Hamlin, secretary of the Cripple
Creek District Mine Owners' Asso-^^,
ciation, gave out a statement in reply
to a telegram from a New York newspaper
asking him to present his side
of the labor troubles here. Mr. Hamlin

miners getting from $3 to $4 a day,
but "to dfcmpel every miner in this district

Their outrages culminated here
Monday when fifteen men were blown
into eternity and nearly as many more
maimed so that death would be a
mercy. The only parallel to this organization
can be found in the Mollie
Maguires of Pennsylvania, and their
members were law-abiding citizens
compared with the organization which
we have to deal with. The peace and
quiet of the State demand that this organization
be exterminated root and

Miners Appeal to Roosevelt.
Denver, Col., Special.?The executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners decided to appeal to President W*
Roosevelt to investigate the condition
in Colorado. Secretary W. D. Haywood
was instructed to send the following
telegram to the President: "A
duty devolves upon, you as President
of the United States to investigate the
terrible crimes that are being perpetuated
in Colorado in the name of law
and order. We will render every possible
assistance to the proper authorities
in such investigation to the end
that the people of the country niav realize
the outrages that are being in
flicted on innocent persons by those in
temporary official power."
A Costly Strike.
Denver, Col., Special.?The cqst of
various strikes in Colorado during the
last sixteen months, is estimated at
more than $23,000,000. Of this the State
had to pay $636,000 for maintaining the
troops in the field, which has been necessary
with short intervals since early
in 1903. The loss to the strikers and
others directly affected in wages is
$22,000,000, including loss 10 ousmeav
