KSTANTIXOPLE, AuV 13.—Min ister Irishman yesterday saw Tewfik Pasha. Turkish minister of foreign af fairs, and renewed the urgent repre sentations of the American government for an immediate settlement of the de mands regarding the rights of Ameri can citizens in Turkey. Yesterday's t onference between Minister Leishman and Izzet Pasha, secretary of the pal ace, and Xe3jib Melhame, assistant i minister of public works, occurred at Mr. Irishman's summer residence at Therapia, and lusted eight hours, dur ing which Izzet Pasha exchanged com munications with the palace. The fact of sending a palace func tionary unacquainted with the ques tion, to discuss the matter with Mr. Leishman, is typical of Turkish meth- The sultan's ignoring of the proper channel, namely, the porte, is much commented upon as evidently being an attempt to delay a settle ment. In the course of the discussion the Turkish delegates attempted to i impugn the character of some of the | schools and contested the American : claim to be granted certain privileges given to similar French institutions. Mr. Leishman, however, firmly refused to consider for a moment any sugges tion of discrimination and insisted on a full acceptance of the American list of about 300 schools, hospitals, char itable institutions and missionary dwellings filed with the porte eighteen months ago. The American minister pointed out that the porte had ample time to verify the list, but that it had done nothing and Mr. Leishman posi tively refused to listen to any sugges tion regarding treatment differing from that accorded to the schools, etc., un der the protection of other powers. The delegates finally left in order co report to the sultan, promising a favor able reply. The protracted conference appears to have settled one of the matters agreed on at the time of the Beirut in :i. but never executed, namely, the payment to an American citizen of Smyrna the sum of $25,000. being the value of land on which Moslem refugees GIRLS ARE RESCUERS Society Women Save a Man From Drowning FOND DU LAC.

C, Aug. 13.— Ten persons were drowned as the re sult of the capsizing of a naphtha launch on the Potomac river, off Georgetown, the western section of this city, during the annual Potomac regatta this afternoon. Four others who were on the launch escaped. All were from this "ity. The dead: A. J. BOOSE, thirty-five years old, salesman. J. GEORGE SMITH. CHARLES F. BLUMER, forty years old, druggist. J. HERBERT COATES. thirty-five years old, tailor. JOHN WALDERMAN, twenty-two years old. WILLIAM SMITH, thirty-five years old. employe of the navy yard. MRS. LULU DRYFUS. BERTHA SELBACH. HELEN HIZER or HAZEL. HELEN MOORE. Four persons were saved. The capsized launch was the Recre ation, owned by Drs. C. A. Stewart and C. W. Wagner, who were among the saved, and carried fourteen peo ple. During the first race the launch got in the way of the eight-oared shells, and its wash was such that the. official reprimanded its crew and or- i dered them out of the way. There was some show of resentment at this order, and the launch headed for the shore] hut miscalculated its course, and striking the strong undertow caused by a mill race, rocked for a moment, and. as the passengers rush ed to one side, turned turtle. Many of the spectators, including officials of the district government, protested against the continuance of the racing, in view of the tragedy, but the officials in charge declined to stop the sport, saying that it was inexpedi ent because people had come on from numerous other cities to take part and that the regatta was the result of long laid plans in which many outside interests were concerned. There was a great deal of criticism of this deci sion. The cheering for the competing crews as they passed the scene of the tragedy and the shrill and deafening whistles of the pleasure craft con tinued while the bodies of the victims ■were being grappled for, dragged into view and sent to the police station.

CHIFU, Aug. 14. —A Japanese squadron sighted the Vlad ivostok fleet in the strait of Korea at ten minutes past 3 this (Sunday) morning. Fighting began fifty minutes later. FLEET CAN FIGHT NO MORE Special Cable to The Globe TOKYO, Sunday, Aug. 14.—Additional bulletins from Ad miral Togo last night announce that there is not a seaworthy vessel in the Port Arthur fleet. He believes thai the battle ships Pobeida and Retvizan are permanently disabled and re gards the fighting power of the Port Arthur fleet at an end. The emperor has sent the hearttest congratulations to Ad miral Togo on his victory, and at a meeting of elders in the palace yesterday afternoon another message was sent to the admiral and men of the fleet. The main Japanese naval force can now be safely with drawn from Port Arthur and other plans carried out. Prob ably two battleships and three first-class cruisers, with a tor pedo and gunboats division, will remain on duty. With Togo's victory accomplished, the government is now willing to let it be known why the Vladivostok fleet was permitted to ravage the east coast of Japan. The admiralty knew that the Russian warships would attempt to escape from Port Arthur and join the cruisers in Vladivostok. The raid of the Vladivostok fleet was intended to draw Japanese warships to the east coast of Japan and weaken the strength of the vessels guarding Port Arthur. JAPANESE NOT TO BE DECEIVED The plan was easily seen through by the admiralty, and Kamimura's division, instead of hunting the raiding Russian ships, was actually moved down the Yellow sea so as to in tercept and fight any ships that should escape Togo's cordon in the bay of Korea. The vital question all along was the taking care of Russia's battleships, and the problem was never lost sight of. It is now deemed certain that the Baltic fleet will remain at home. The next step will be to invest Vladivostok. The admiralty estimates the Russian losses at nearly 2.000 in dead and wounded. Officials believe that the crippled bat tleships will be destroyed. They cannot be repaired in Port Arthur and cannot get to any other port. RUSSIANS ARE PARALYZED ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 14.—Not since the beginning of the war between Japan and Russia has anything so obviously affected Russian spirits as the gradual revelation of the extent of the Port Arthur squadron's reverse. The details of Rear Admiral Withoft's fatal sortie are not known to t*ie general public even.at this hour, though the receipt of the report of Capt. Matousevitch, Admiral Withoft's chief of staff, to the emperor, gradually permeated official circles in the course of the day.

Aug. 13.— If the man who just called me a liar wffl meet me outside of the park when I finish my speech, I'll cut his throat from ear to ear," declared Congress man Champ Clark, of Missouri, dur ing a joint political debate with Con gressman Charles B. Landis, of In diana, before the Chautauqua assem bly here today. The debate was the principal at traction of the Chautauqua. During the speech of Mr. Landis some one in the audience shouted: 'Where's Biii Taylor?" Mr. Landis replied: "He is in Indiana, and will stay there until he gets justice." When Mr. Clark took the platform he referred to ex-Gov. Taylor as ;m assassin, charging that the Repub licans were protecting a man who should be hanged. He said: "The Republicans want to rule this country by assassination." Some one in the audience cried out: "That's not true. You are a liar." Immediately Congressman Clark shouted his challenge, which was greeted with hisses. When quiet hai been restored Mr. Clark concluded hi 3 speech- SECOND SECTION PAGES 9 to 2 2 PKICE FLVE CENTS SEGURESUNKENLOGS St. Croix River Yields Treasure Trove of Much Value Special to The Globe STILLWATER, Minn., Aug. 13.— How many million feet of sunken logs are there in the St. Croix, be j tween Nevers dam and the foot .of the lake at Prescott, is a question that log- I gers and lumbermen in this vicinity I have frequently discussed. That there are millions upon millions of feet has been permanently established, but only a small part of them will ever be re covered. This season contracts were let by the Lumbermen's Board of Trade for the recovery of dead head logs be j tween Osceola and the head" of I>ake ' St. Croix and several crews have been at work all season. Sven Magnuson, who has one of the contracts, says that he has already picked up nearly j 600,000 feet, and the other crews have ; picked up enough so that it is safe to say that 4,000,000 feet of dead heads will be secured this year. The logs are rafted and are being towed to the At wood B mill, where they are sawed. Many of the logs that have been re covered were cut as many as twenty- I five and thirty years ago by loggers long since dead, or who have gone out of business. It is said that the sunken ' iocs make a very good grade of lumber.
