WAIVES RIGHT OF SEARCH ^ ' In the Meantime Other Vessels Were Seized, But Were Later Released on Order of the Government , at St. Petersburg. ? ' J A St. Petersburg special says: Grand! | Duko Alexis presided at Sunday's1 council, which Count Lamsdorff, the! j foreign secretary, and Vice Admiral, j Aveiilan, chief of the admiralty de-(' partment, and other high naval offi-; { * cffiers attended. j The result of the conference re-( moves all doubts concerning the present attitude of Russia with regard to the: volunteer fleet. The validity of the view expressed in the British note regarding the. irregularity of the position of the vessels was so far admitted that the council agreed to waive the right to search. ; After a long discussion in which ^ Count Lamsdorff took a leading part,' j it was decided that the present status of the volunteer fleet was not sufficiently defined according to international law to render further searches and seizures advisable and that therefore Russia in the interests of friendly relations with the powers, should withdraw the authority given the vol- j * ur.teer fleet in this respect. r-? ? Orders have been sent to the vol- j unteer fleet steamers, St. Petersburg and Smolensk, to refrain from inter- j 7* ference with foreign shipping. I It is expected these steamers will eventually join the Baltic sea fleet and j be replaced by ordinary warships. j The Associated Press is able to j state- on the highest authority that the i Russian and British governments | have agreed on a mutually satisfac- j tory basis for a settlement of the j v question of the status of Russian vol- j unteer fleet steamers in the Red sea j and the seizure by them of British j , ships. ! A few minor points still remain un- 1 settled, but these will probably be : " i-?~ ?j :* I cleared up immediately, auu it js expected that further complications I * will arise. j On Saturday, and before the above agreement was reached, Count Beackendorff, the Russian ambassador at London, received official notification from St. Petersburg reporting the capture of two more British ships in the Red sea and instructions from his government to notify Great Britain that the same procedure will be followed ! as in the case of the Malacca, namely, the vessels will be taken to a neutral' * port for examination by the consuls j of the two nations "concerned. The steamer Scandia, of the Ham- j burg-American line, -in charge of a 1 Russian prize crew, entered the Suez j canal Saturday.

The company has asked the foreign office to take up the matter and secure an explanation. . Steamer Scandia Released. A special of Sunday from Port Said states that the Hamburg-American Line steamer Scandia has been releasi ed. The Russian crew which manned j her has landed and will proceed to ! J Odessa by the next boat. The Scan- j dia is awaiting orders from her own ers. Advices received at Port Said state that the Russiam volunteer ffietlt steamer Smolensk fired three blank A shots across the bows of the British steamer Ardova, the cargo of which consists of coal and explosives and the vessel not stopping the Smolensk sent two loaded shots at her, one of i them passing over her amidships and; the other over her stern. The Ardova r was then seized and her crew transferred to the Smolensk. KILLED TWO; WOUNDED ONE. Negro Has Quarrel with Four White Men and Uses Gun.

There is great interest in the state- * ment because it is believed to reflect j * directly the views cf -the foreign of-1 ^ fice. It follows: j} "The operations of the converted f cruisers Smolensk and St. Petersburg ^ are causing tremendous excitement in ESigiand. Questions are being asked ^ in parliament, the newspapers are up- i pealing to the public and there Is a c panic among ship owners. There alsc i is a good deal of talk in Germany be? f ! cause of the seizure of mails on the j j steamer Prinz Heinrich, but the mosf j 1 I noise there is being made by cxtreim j ist organs, the o:hers treating ths | < I matter coolly. It is a pity the Eng ( I iish do not display the same Teuton- t 1 ic calmness. . s "It is easy to understand that the t : British merchant marine feels these 1 ' restrictions severely. As a result of c the stopping and searching of vessels, j f English snips either must give up j ' transporting contraband or continue j 1 at their own risk and peril n time of j 1 1 war-between two nowers. Others are 1 s bound to suffer more or less, as it is Impossible to check contraband traffic ! without a search. "The English, in their excitement, ! even raised the question as to wheth! er we were justified in converting the volunteer fleet steamers into warships after they had passed the Dardanelles under the commercial flag. This is 3trange. Every government has a right either to build warships in its own yards, order them abroad; buy them already built, and finally to convert merchant vessels into warships. The volunteer fleet, at its very inception, was intended to be converted into a military fleet upon the declaration of war. "The English should not feel in- ! censed over the passage of the St. Petersburg and Smolensk through the Dardanelles. The British embassy at ! Constantinople hands in a protest to j . the Turkish government every time j i a vdlunteer fleet vessel passes the j t straits. For many years these pro- j i tests have been entirely disregarded, , i and therefore long ago lost their im- i portance. Before the war the Darda- 3 nelles were repeatedly passed by vol unteer ships on the way to the far ] east, even with troops, arms and mu- ] nitions of war aboard. If this were 1 possible before the war, it is possible now, as there" has been no change in ] our relations with Turkey as a result < of the war with Japan. i "When the St. Petersburg and Smo- 1 lensk passed through the straits un- ( der the merchant flag, their destina- 1 tion was correctly given as being the ; far east. In fact, the vessels, upon 3 entering the Red sea armed, hoisted ? the military flag. ( "A fundamental principle of interna- 1 tional law that a neutral flag covers j neu.ral goods will not, of course, be violated by our cruisers. Consequently, cargoes aboard the ships of neutral 1 powers containing no contraband uf 1 war will remain as free as ever." , FANCY PRICE FOR FISH. Throa Men Fined $1,660 for Petty Violation of a Pennsylvania Statute. Justice David Gilmer, at Johnstown, Pa., has just imposed what is probably the heaviest fines ever made under the present fish laws of the state uoon three men who were convicted of catching 166 carp and cat fish by building a fence across Buffalo creek, driving the fish into wire pens and lulling them.

Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Floi> i s nee Elizabeth Chandler, a member of ' j, , well known and prosperous southern ; f amily, was married July 27, 1881, in | v It. James church, Piccadilly, to James daybrick, of Liverpool. She was 18 c rears old. Her husband was over for- j y years of age. In the spring of g $89 Mr. Maybrick became ill and in \ i few days he died. His brothers in- r estigated his death and charged Mrs. i: daybrick with the murder of her hus- d land. A long trial followed, and a t lumber of'doctors swore that the de- c :eased died of arsenical poisoning, t rhe defense proved that for twenty a -eers Mr. Maybrick had been a con- a irmed user of arsenic and that he iaily took doses large enough to have c tilled a dozen ordinary men. Mrs. v Hay brick was eventually sentenced to I leath by the judge, Sir Fitzjames Ste- ; f ihon who ennVo for two davs in ! r :harging the jury. He said it was im- t possible to find her not guilty in the 1 'ace cf the medical evidence. The g udge died "some time later in a mad t louse. 2 From the time of Mrs. May brick's c .'onviction her mother, the baroness . le Roques, was unremitting in her ef- i< 'orts'in behalf of the prisoner.

Friday morning in Chicago and all ' | the other points where the big pack- ' ! ing companies have branches, because l 1 the strikers were dissatisfied with the ' ' manner in which the employers pro j posed to reinstate their former em- < I pioyees. < Friday morning three thousand butchers reported at the stock yards < in Chicago for work. Only half of i j them were given places. Thereupon i j all refused to work. They reported J j in a body at their union headquarters. The general order for a renewal of the strike was soon forthcoming. While the immediate provocation for renewal of the strike was apparently the failure of tile packers to take back a larger proportion of the strikers who applied for work, the. real cause of the rupture was inferred to I be a circular issued Thursday by the ] packers. i The circular purported to explain to the public the agreement entered inio with the labor leaders. Seemingly the circular could be taken as implying 1 tZLat agreement did .not bind the pack ; ers to re-empioy jiii ui me mea wuu waiked out. The construction the labor leaders had placed upon the agreement was that all should he reemployed within forty-five days. When the butchers and their help- ' ers went into the yards to take their 1 old places, the general greeting received was: "We cannot take back more than < half the regular force." Immediately there was a woeful dis- play of chagrin and disappointment. : The men held a conference of an *m- 1 prcmptu nature and reached an agree- 1 ment to act as a unit or not at all. "Take All Back or None." j "You must take us all back or ! none," came the reply of the union men. The packers refused to accede ( to this, and a committee was sent to see President DonnhPiy.

As a result, the news of the strike order was followed within an hour by an announcement that a joint conference was called to take place Friday afternoon between the packing houses and the labor leaders. The purpose of. the conference was stated to be to discuss the alleged unjust discrimination on | the part of the packers. The portion of the packers' circular ' objectionable to the unionists follows: "In the agreement reached the ' packers reserve the privilege of retaining in their employ all employes i [that have been hireTl while the strike has lasted, thus guaranteeing to these men the fair treatment they deserve ] and gaining for the packers one of stood out.
