STRIKE OF 10 000
HANGS ON PARLEY
Team Owners and Teamsters
Must Agree or Huge Strike
Will Follow.
Chicago, Jane 5.Developments of
1 utmost significance an the teamsters'
strike hinge on the outcome of arbi
tration negotiations between the teara
'owners and the teamsters within the
(next few days. Both sides are in an
aggressive mood and failure to reach
an agreement, it is predicted* will force
a walkout of 10,000 more teamsters and
bring idleness to thousands of work
men in other crafts.
If the members of the Chicago Team
owners' association force the issue with
their drivers, similar action on the part
of other teaming organizations1

Chicago, June 6.Dr. John William
Streeter, author 1 of "The Fat of the Land"

is prac

if the teamsters agree to arbitrate
the question of the right of the team
owners to make deliveries to strike
bound houses, the decision will be in
'favor of the teamowners, whose con
tract with the drivers provides that
they shall further the interests of their
employers. With the teamowners mak
ing deliveries to all the concerns^ in
volved in the struggle, the strike, it is
asserted, would lose its force at once.
Garment Workers Aroused.
The garment workers' strike, which
practically has been regarded as a dead
issue, has unexpectedly reared its head
and threatens to become an obstacle
,in future negotiations looking toward
the settlement of the teamsters' war.
In the Chicago Federation of Labor
meeting, delegates from' the tailors'
union attacked the strike committee
tfor "slighting" the 4,000 garment
workers, out of sympathy for whom the
^teamsters went on strike. The federa
tion was forced to' acknowledge that
the two strikes were inseparable and
that one of them could noi be settled
without the other.
Charges were made that thousands
of dollars, contributed weekly by labor
unions, are being spent for the team
sters' benefit, while th^ garment work
ers, according to statement, are starv
ing. Teamsters who were present vig
orously denied the assertions.
President Dold of the federation
placed himself on record as saying the
strike committee never would consent
to the settlement of the teamsters'
trouble until the garment worker dis
pute had been satisfactorily adjusted.
Dold Quits Strike Board.
Charles Dold, president of the, Chi
cago Federation of Labor, has resigned
from the teamsters'* strike committee.
He asserts that his action was due to
the fact that for sevieral weeks he has
neglected the affairs of the Piano and
Organ Workers union, of which he is an
official.
Non-union men are still being pur
sued by sluggers. Albert Johnson, be
lieved to be a non-union teamster, was
severely beaten today at Fourteenth
Street and Ashland avenue. When
found by the police he was insensible
and was bleeding from a wound in the
bead. He was taken to a hospital,
"where it was found that several of his
ribs were broken. He will probably
die.
Dunne Replies to Jury.
Mayor Dunne ,has replied to criti
cisms of himself in a report of the
.grand jury. The mayor asserts that
the rejiort is grossly unfair and un
just. Denial is made-to the charge that
the mayor failed to exert full author
ity. He says:
'If the grand jury means that I have
failed to call in the militia, I answer
that until I fail to get wagons thru the
streets and maintain law and order
jwith the police, I have no right, legal
or morally, to call for the assistance
of the militia. I do not intend, until
'it becomes necessarwy, to deal Chicago
and its business interests that fatal
blow."
Otoxnpers to Return
President Gompers of the American
'Federation of Labor is coming to Chi
cago again to supplement the work he
did during his previous visit here.
The managers of the railway express
companies will not yield, still holding
ithe key to the situation. The team
lowners association still believe they will
|be permitted to make deliveries to the
iboycotted houses.
COLOMBIA BUILDSmm
A RIVAL CANAL
To Spite the United States, South
Americans Will Cut the
Isthmus.
New York SOB Special Servioe.
New York, June 5.According to a
well-known scientific writer, versed in
South American affairs, who has "just
returned from an extensive tour of ex
ploration thru Colombia, that republic
is to be avenged on the United States
for ".doing" her out of Panama by
constructing a canal of her own.
Abundant European capital, the au
thority states, has been offered for the
enterprise, and a route has already
been selected. President Reyes, how
erer, has so far rejected all offers of
foreign aid, as he is anxious that the
entire work shall be completed by Co
lombian money, and shall stand as a
lasting monument to Colombian enter
prise and patriotism.
Work Has Been Started.
"In fact," says this informant,
"tho nothing ha been heard of the
matter in the United States, it has
long been canvassed in the Colombian
press, and the plans have gone so far
that the actual work of construction
has already been started by a penal
colony stationed for the purpose at
Quibdo, a small port on the Pacific side
of Colombia.
"The canal, of course, will be much
longer than that now in progress at* the
isthmus, but will be vastly less expen
sive, because it will follow the course
of the Atrato and Quito rivers, which
are already connected by a primitive
canal, built in the days of the Spanish
occupancy, which is now in use for
small steamers.
Route of the Canal.
"Beginning at the ancient port of
Cartagena, on the Caribbean, the canal
follows the Atrato river southwest thru
a marshy tract of country, connecting
by the small canal above referred to
with the Quito river, which empties
into the (Jnlf of Darien at Quibdo, the
center of a rich gold-bearing country.
"All that is needed to make the ca
nal available for ocean-going vessels of
ordinary tonnage is the blasting out of
the Needles at the entrance of the gulf
of Darien, the removal of the bar at
the mouth of-the Atrato river and the
clearing out of a number of dangerous
rocks and gravel banks in the Quito.
"By making the tolls lower than
those in the Panama canal, it is argued
that Colombia will divert so much traf
fic from that waterway as to make it a
losing venture, thereby giving Colom
bia her long hoped-for revenge upon
the 'scheming Yankees.'

Washington, June 5.William E.

connection with the next presidential
nomination, telling him he is for him,

Washington, June 5.Major John M.
Carson who has been asked to take the
position of chief of the bureau of man
ufacturers of the department of com
merce and labor, made vacant by the
resignation of J. Hampton Moore, is a
veteran of the civil war and dean* of
the Washington corps of correspond
ents.
Major Carson is a "major" by cour
tesy, ntever having attained that rank
in the army, but only reaohing that of
captain during the civitwar, when he
commanded a company of Pennsylvania
volunteers of the Twenty-seventh regi
ment.
Following the war he re-entered hiews
iaper work, finally becoming attached
the staffs or the New York Times
and the Philadelphia Public Ledger as
Washington correspondent.
He was offered the place of secretary
to the president by President McKin
ley, but declined, which course he had
previously taken when President Har
rison wanted him to become an assist
?nt secretary of the treasury. The of
er from President McKinley came thru
the acquaintance he had with the presi
dent while the latter was chairman of
the committee on wavs and means and
Maior Carson wa sis clerk. His ex
perience in tariff legislation has been
wide, and he is accredited with great
powers as an exponent of those laws.
He was one of the founders of the Grid
iron club, and had been twice the presi
dent of that organization of correspond
ents. He is a member of thestanding
committee of correspondents, which has
charge of admission's to the press gal
leries of the senate and house, and is
well and lovingly known to every corre
spondent in the capital. If he takes
the place offered him he will leave
enwspaper work and devotes himself to
his duties for the government.
FORREST STATUE,
FACES THE SOUTH
Satisfactory Reason Is Given and
Bronze Figure Will Stand as
First Raised.
Memphis, Tenn., June 5.The statue
of General Nathan Bedford Forrest,
"Wizard of the Saddle," which.was
unveiled Tuesday in Forrest Park, will
continue to face the south, despite the
many protests of confederate soldiers.
It was not until the heroic size eques
trian statue of General Forrest was com
fleted that it was, generally noticed
hat the horse and rider were faced
toward the south, that part of the
country for which General Forrest
fought so valiantly.
There was a storm of protest that
continued even at the unveiling cere
monies.
"General Forrest never turned his
back to the enemy?" said those who
objected to the position of the bronze
figure.
The committee which had the erec
tion of the statue in charge said not a
word up to the unveiling in explana
tion of what was a seeming oversight
on their part. Then they cave their
views, which apparently settle the con
troversy.
"The placing of the statue facing
toward the south was not the result of
an accident," said a member of the
committee. "Its position is the result
of much discussion.
"True, General Forrest never turned
his back on the enemy while in battle.
But the war is over now and General
Forrest is dead. Sectional strife is
buried, as was evidenced when the call
for troops was made during the Spanish
war.
"What could be more appropriate
than the placing of the statue so that
our general and leader should faoe
toward his beloved Southland 1"
And so the controversy ends, with all
concerned satisfied.

squadrons being left behind to take in-*
dependent action. The main strength was
alone ordered to steam for the north.
At#the last council of war Rojestven
sky stated it as his belief that the Japa
nese fleet had been separated into three
divisions, and that the Tsushima straits
were only held by a small force of weak
cruisers. Furthermore,* he held if we were
determined to reach Vladivostok, the
shortest cut, which was by way of the
Tsushima straits, must be chosen. 'If
we fail," he added, "there is the con
venience of the Chinese neutral ports close
at hand."
On May 27 some small Japanese cruis
ers were sighted near Tsushima straits,
and Jlojestvensky was convinced his
theory had been proved correct. Accord
ingly, he entered the waters of Tsushima
thinking that as he passed thru he would
be able to sink some of the enemy's
cruisers.
At this time he hoisted his one battle
signal, "We must have not only to make
a triumphal entry into Vladivostok, but
must sink a part of the Japanese fleet
on the way."
When the battle was only half over each
Russian warship was following its own
rantio initiative quite independent of any
general scheme. Each ship went where it
would and did what it liked. This fact,
I unhesitatingly say, as a responsible
staff officer, was due mainly to the inde
cision and the uncertainty of Rojestven
sky, who was in command, and secondly
to the utter loss of communication be
tween each of our ships. There can be
no possible doubt about the truth of this.
The prisoners state that on the de
parture of the fleet from the Baltic sea
the caar said to them: "You are going
towards the extreme east not alone to
gain Vladivostok, but to fight the Jap
anese fleet on the way."
DEFEAT MAKES GZAR HARSH
He Gives Trepoff Dictatorial Powers to
Suppress Liberals.
St. Petersburg, June 5.The Russian
government has shown that it has not
weakened in this hour of disaster.
Instead of yielding to the stormy de
mands, which the radicals hoped .Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's defeat would
force the' government to grant, the em
peror issued a ukase Sunday conferring
greatly increased powers on Governor
Getateral Trepoff, making him assistant
minister of the interior, also chief of
the department of police and command
er of the corps of the gendarmerie.
General Trepoff is given the right to
close all assemblies and congresses and
to suspend indefinitely all societies,
leagues and other bodies manifesting
pernicious activity and to take all
other steps necessary to preserve order
so as to prevent interference with hte
established regime and to suppress the,
revolutionary propaganda.
Liberty Not to Be Hastened.
This ukase, which entrusts almost dic
tatorial powers to the head of the im
perial police to control the agitation
now almost peremtorily demanding a
constitutional representative govern
ment and the surrender of the vital
Srinciples of the autocracy, and to put
own'the disorders with which the gov
ernment js threatened, makes him re
sponsible to the emperor.
It is a matter of the greatest import
ance in the present state of Russia and
indicates that the goverment, while
steadily proceeding in its Tlan for tfoe,
fuMUJnle ut of Jih.ft^mperjbalj^pmises con-,
tained in the imperial rescript, is deter-1
minted not to be swerved from its policy
by military and naval disasters, but in
its own time to give the nation the leg
islative body on which the Bouligin
commission has been working.
War Will Continue.
In it may perhaps also be read the in
timation that the war will continue and
that the question of peace will not be
submitted to a zemsky sobor.
According to the Buss, the result of
the labors of the Bouligin commission,
which has now been printed and sub
mitted to the commissioners, does not
embody a definite plan for the organ
ization and functions of a new govern
mental body, but rather a collection and
classification of the necessary data for
the formation of an assembly, giving
alternative views of the various points
in dispute and leaving the final decision
in the hands of the. ministers.
Bouligin Board's Findings.
The material gathered by the com
mission has been grouped under six
heads:
FirstA .historical survey of the
forms assumed byjpopular representa
tion in Russia from the fifth to the sixth
century.
SecondConsideration of the effect
of the summoning of a popular assem
bly on tne country under present circum
stances.
ThirdThe extent to which suffrage
shall be granted, whether on universal,
educational or property qualifications,
and whether classes and occupations
should be represented.
FourthThe extent of the assembly's
right to interpellate ministers.
FifthThe extent of the assembly's
rights over the budget.
SixthrWhat provinces of govern
ment should be removed to the com
petency of the assembly.
Thus nothing regarding the "im-
perial douma" has been predetormined.

VICTOR VISITS VANQUISHED
Togo Calls on Rojestvensky in Naval
Hospital.
Tokio, June 5.Vice Admiral Togo
visited Vice Admiral Rojestvensky at
the naval hospital at Sasebo,* Saturday,
and expressed his sympathy for the ad
miral's wounds. He praised the des
perately courageous fight of the Rus
sians and expressed the hope that Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky would soon be
able to return to Russia.
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky was deep
ly moved by the admiral's words and
thanked him. He congratulated Japan
on the. courage and patriotism of her
sailors, and said it lessened his regret
and Ihe Borrow of defeat to know the
high character of the victors.
After a few minutes' conversations
both speaking in indifferent English,
Togo, treading lightly, left the ward.
Rojestvensky is wounded in six places,
and it is reported one of his legs will
shortly have to be amputated.
One of the officers of the Japanese
destroyer Sasanami, which captured
Rojestvensky, says they found tne ad
miral lying at the bottom of the de
stroyer Buiny, amid a pool of fresh
blood. "He was in a semiconscious
state. The scene was impressive. We
were able," he continued, "to take the
necessary steps to attend the wounded,
when a throng of Russian officers as
sembled around the admiral, clasped
their hands as if in prayer, and ex
claimed, 'Please be merciful. The
wounds of Admiral Rojestvensky are
very serious, and if you remove him to
a Japanese ship these wounds may be
broken and he will fall into a danger
ous state. Please, we pray you, leave
him as he is now.'
"After a while," said the officer,
"being sorry for the condition in which
we found the Russian officer, and feel
ing Bore at heart, we decided, after a
short consultation, to grant the request.
Our examining officers were left be
hind, and Admiral Rojestvensky lay
helpless in the destroyer,' surrounded by
his officers. A towline was passed, and
with our .burden astern we set off for
the nearest island along the Korean
coast."

CALIFORNIA HAS
NEW MINERAL
Phosphate Bock Is Said to Be as
Valuable as Low Grade
Gold Ore.
Ban Francisco, Gal., June 5.A min
eral discovery has been made San
Diego county that, may be worth mil
lions to California. Phosphate rock has
been picked up as float near Escondino
and samples have been forwarded to
the State mining bureau for examina
tion.
The value of phosphate rock is that
it contains fertilizing mineral that can
be used for enriching the soil. If the
rock is as rich as supposed and the
deposit is large, the discovery is of
great importance.
According to the report of the geo
logical survey, the phosphate rock prod
uct of the United States amounted to
1,570,288 long tons. The value of this
rock was $4,993,912. Thus the value
ran on the average as high as many
low-grade gold properites which are
paying largely.
Phosphate rock has never been known
to California as a native product until
now. North Carolina, South Carolina
and Florida have afforded the principal
native, supply, of mineral fertilizers,-,for
rtha UnitfidT-^tates.
Among the mineral industrial regions
of the country, Florida alone has made
a show by its production of phosphate
rook and the reduction of the fertilizers
for commercial use. Some of the rock
has returned 13 to 16 per cent in phos
phoric acid, which sells for about $8,40
a ton.
It is thought that the surface indi
cations of phosphoric rock in San Die
go county imply'deposits of large size.
The state mineralogist has given direc
tions that the samples that have been
sent to the state mining bureau shall
be treated at once. Mr. Preston is
making examinations for the state min
ing bureau, which will determine the
value of the phosphates.
MICHIGAN IS MAD
Thinks Nichol Was Winner in the Hur
dle Baoe.
Ann Arbor, Mich., June 5.Michigan's de
feat at the conference meet did not come as
bitter a dose as it the wolverine crowd had
been confident of winning. After the Chicago
Michigan meet it had been demonstrated that
Btagg had a better lot of athletes than Fltz
patrlck, and It was only hoped that something
might happen to give Michigan the champion
ship.
"As I have often remarked," said Fltspatrlcb,
"it Is best for athletics to have the cham
pionship passed around. Of course, Michigan
will win every time she can. We are not
throwing any championships away, and next
year we will be In the fight stronger, I hope,
than this year."
Michigan athletes have elected Ramey, the
half-miler, for captain of the 1906 team. Oat
of the team which scored 88 points, Stone is
the only man to be lost. He won second place
in the two-mile. The Michigan men are indig
nant over the decision in the 120-yard hurdles,
which, it is declared, was won by Nicol. At
the finish of the race the Chicago crowd was
silent, while Trainer Fitzpatrick and the Mich
igan team were congratulating Nicol on his
supposed victory until Judgment was announced
otherwise.
The disappointments In the meet were Cox
In the high jump, Flshleigh In the pole vault,
Garrels in the shotput, Annia in the short dash,
Goodwin in the quarter and Wait in the half.
The agreeable surprises were Goe in the mile,
Keeler in the 220-yard dash, Stone in the two

.ON HOTTEST DAY

but the dry condition in which' the
ground was left near the surface re
tarded the germination of late-sown
grain.
The winds were followed by reins in
some places, but these were not general.
On that occasion more rain fell on the
Minnesota side of the river than far
ther west, the country from Crookston
north being well soaked. The early
part of last week was generally hot,
and this, in the absence of moisture,
was not a favorable condition for tho
late crops, as the ground showed a. ten
dency to bake in the low spots.
Friday night and Saturday morning
clouds rolled down from the north, and
there were thunder showers all over the
state, reaching the valley early Satur
day morning. The storms were of the
typical electrical variety, being marked
by strong winds, vivid lightning, and
in some places by fine hail. In some
places the rain was very heavy, while
elsewhere it was comparatively light,
but there are few localities that did
not get enough to do a great deal of
good. This was followed bv close, sul
try weather, with indication of more
rain.
At Crookston the rainstorm ap
proached the character of a cloudburst,
and the territory there has had all the
rain it needs for some time. In the
western part of Grand Forks countv
the rain was also very heavy, and after
the storm the water was standing^ in
great ponds over the fields. At Arvilla,
small nail fell in liberal quantities, but
it was too fine to damage anything,
even if there has been anything in con
dition to be damaged.
Considerable damage was done by
lightning. The large barn of James
Finnie, south of Arvilla, was struck and
three valuable horses were killed. The
barn was not set on fire. The horses
were insured for $60 each. North of
Argunvills the barn of Del Hudson was
struck and burned, with ajl its contents.
A rumor which could not be confirmed
reached the city that the barn of Hal
vor Hougen, of Blooming township,
Grand Forks county, had been burned,
together with four valuable horses and
other contents.
An unusually large amount of break
ing is being done this season. This is
due in part to the constant influx of
new settlers, and in part to the good
seeding conditions all over the state,
which have given the farmers plenty
of time to turn over new sod. Refer
ence may be made to what is being
done in Moiiean county as an indica
tion of what is going on all over the
newer portions of the state. In that
county twenty steam breaking rigs are
a work turning over 600 acres of new
sod a day. The breaking season lasts
thirty days or more. This means that
these steam rigs will turn over 18,000
acres in the course of the season. Some
of this land will be seeded this year,
and all of it next year.

Special to- The Journal.
Long Prairie, Minru, Jtuie Srks a
result of systematic inquiry by The
Leader, crop reports have been received
from most of the reliable farmers of
Todd eounty. These reports have been
made on localities, rather thato of an
individual nature, and in almost every
case the prospects are cited to be much
more favorable than last year at this
time. The only discouraging reports
are those which come fram townships
where low lands predominate, where tne
heavy rains of late have given too much
moisture. The acreage in both rye and
barley is in excess of last year, while
the hay crop gives promise of being the
largest vet. Some slight damage is re-
