account of the closing of Hibaya Park
and the denial of the right to publicly
meet in tha park, whicii is umir tie;
charge of the municipality. After the park
was closed yesterday the Mayor and Coun
cil met Immediately and protested to the
Government and Insisted that the park ln
reotwneil. It is now claimed that all the
turbulence resulted from the indiscreet
closing of the park. Students and young
street rowdies ?eemed io be the largest
participants In the disorder of the nlclit.
The soldiery and gendarmes are per
forming general duty, fl.e soldiers guard
ing the foreign legations. Apparently
there Is an outbreak of antlforeign senti
ment, but the Government is ansious to
prevent ths Injury of members or the le
gation and other foreigners. A Xvw for
eleners have been caught by tha mob and
roughly used.
The Xicht Nlchl Kiy:
"How can the Government retain Its

a result derosatory of the honor and d!c

set on fire and the police finally were un
able to keep ordtr. If the present con
ditions continue, the .contagion mav
spread and Innocent people and their prop

Baku, the center of rioting in Southeastern Caucasus. Is th principal seaport en
the Caspian Sea. Near It is the suburban city of Balakhan. the great 'oil
metropolis of the Caucasus. In this city the Armenians and Tartars have burned
the large tanks and refineries and the whole of Russia h) threatened with a
shortage of fuel, for it Is on this region that the Ctar'g "dominions depend almost
entirely for their oil supply. Other outbreaks havs occurred at Tlflls, Elisave

RBPunuc stcciau
Niagara Falls. N. V.. Sept. ".It Is to be
a fight to the. finish lietween the United
Tytsithetae of America sind the Interna
tional Typographical Union over the tight
hour question soon.
Before adjourning Its serslon this after
noon the Typothetae decided to make a
tlf lit. Many of the delegates departed for
their homes with the intention of "open
ing their shops immediately, thus precipi
tating the struggle.
President Lynch and Vice President
Hays of the Typographical Union were
here this afternoon t confer with the
Typothetae, but they did not address the
convention. President Lynch was willing
tn compromise, but tiie Tvpotheta. would
not listen to any sort of a compromise, and
thus the matter stands.
Iresldent Lynch and Vie President
Hays were before the Executive Commit
t. for several hours and stated the posi
tion of the Journeymen printers. They

look Is Propitious.
Breckinridge Jones, vies president and
coumel'of the Mississippi Valley Trust
Company, la conOu'cnt. after observlak
commercial and agricultural conditions to
his extended vacation trip, that the sea
son's outlook la decidedly propitious. All
sections of the country are flourishing
under extraordinary prosperity, and the
encouragement of general expansion la so
pronounced that no element of repression
could have any Immediate effect upon
business affairs.
"Unprecedented crops and remarkable
production." he says, "are the substantia!
causes of the wide activity and accelera
tion. With solid motives of this kind,
business Is sure to be good. I can see only
the prospects of a trade entirely satisfactory-
The season promises to bo one of
the most bountiful in the country's his
tory. "The banks are well supplied with
money, and there is no reason for appre
hension of a mild fitrlncoricv as a result
of the Japanese-Russian War loans. Were
tne united states incapable of mrmsning
money to Japan, or were there fear that
the furnlshlns of needed funds would im
pair this nation's finances, the loans would
not nave necn made. Tiie nature i
the loans was such that the bonds were
tenlired to financiers who virtually con
trol the situation, who ire Intimately in
formed as to commercial matters In nil
parts of the land, and who could, and
would, have opposed giving assistance had
th re been the remotest rlous indication.
The Ioars attest to the growing capacity
of the United States.
OKIKNTAL. TRADE.
"On the contrary, the material favor
manifested toward Japr.n defines the
wisest policy. It put us jn an attitude
ef genuine friendliness and should foster
th extension and enlargement of our
Oriental trade. With a fsO.'A.OW balance
of trade in our favor, the far Eastern
trad will be a. factor in utilization anJ
development. The amicable attitude dis
played toward Japan and Russia should
provide a market for the exc? of manu
factured products nnd also increaro the
demand ror raw materials.
"Had the peace negotiation) failed, a-vl
had the war ! prolonged until the In
Jury to Japnnf-a nnd ltusUii resources
would have strained the nuances of Hi
world, there would have been a basis for
dubious speculation. Or had a large In
demnity been r.sulrd of Russia the con
sequences mJcht have bn generally
detrimental. Hut the treaty of peace, .and
especially without an Indemnity .stipula
tion, eliminated all chance of depression.
For these nasom? I think President
Roreevtlt has merited the gratitude of
other countries, as well as of his ovn. II
pursued a highly commemlable poiic, . and
In a ttausmanllko manner.
"It Is obvious from the unprecedented
crop. and the remarkable production that
the season's business prospects are flat
tering. Jun now the usu.il autumn ai
celeratlon Is In pruee. The deniana fcr
money is strong, and tfce interest rates
prevailing with Eastern note brokers tT
and i's I-cr cent for four or six months'
loansi Th general sentiment of financiers
throughout the land is of firm confidence.'
