TRUSTY SHIP I SCHOONER 1 MIENS, OE EONDON, LOSE FIRST ROUND Suit Against Chicago Estate In Which Harry Wellington Wack Bears a Hand CHICAGO, June 25.—George C. Miln and wife, of London, today were de feated In the first stage of their legal proceedings against the estate of Thomas M. Jordan, formerly of the Chicago Board of Trade. Mr. Jordan was the father of Mrs. Miln. The es tate is said to be worth $500,000. At torney Edward Maher, representing George C. Miln and Mrs. Louise Jor dan Miln, formerly of Chicago, now of London, and heirs to a portion of the estate, today made a motion to set aside the guardian ad litem for Airs. Miln's minor children and appoint an other guardian for the children. Har rison Riley is looking after the legal interests of the Miln children, and Mr. Maher suggested thai the mother or some well known woman be -appointed in his stead, naming Dr. Julia Holmes Smith as one \*ho would be satisfac tory to his clients. Counsel for Mrs. Annie E. Jordan, the widow, and counsel* for trustees of the property both objected to this. Judge Kavanagh sustained their ob jection and refused to remove the guardian. The court also ordered Mr. Maher to answer, plead or demur to the bill and cross-bill filed last August by next Saturday. The suit came as an entire surprise to the widow of Jordan and to the oth er heirs. George Crichton Miln, who brings the suit, was once pastor of Unity church in Chicago, and later a Shakespearean actor. Mr. Miln was the pulpit successor of the Rev. Robert Collyer. His wife has made a name as an English novelist. During the last week the Milns, accompanied from London by an English barrister, Henry Wellington Wack, formerly of St. Paul, have been in Chicago, engaged in an examination of court records relating to the management of the estate in question by Mrs. Annie E. Jordan, widow of the capitalist. Based on the investigation, sensa tional charges are to follow in the courts, regarding an attempt to de prive the Milns of the share of the Jor dan es-tate allotted to the daughter by the will and collusion and an alleged conspiracy, discovered by chance, by the defendants. The plaintiffs charge that for sixteen years the income from the Jordan estate has not been right fully distributed and the sums of money forwarded from Chicago to the daughter in London have been insig nificant compared with those to which she was rightfully entitled. TAMMANY GOES TO ST. LOUIS TO FIGHT Continued From Eleventh Page Parker would be nominated on the sec ond ballot. "The trend of recent events in poli tics is all in Judge Parker's favor," he said. "It means clear sailing for him. Those who are complaining of Judge Parker's silence will have nothing to complain of after he Is nominated. Those who know him understand that he is sound on all essentials of Democ racy." It is known that in saying Judge Parker will be nominated on the sec ond ballot Mr. Danforth is reflecting the views of David B. Hill, William P. Sheehan, August Belmont and other well informed leaders interested in Judge Parker's canvass. They feel confident that Judge Parker will have about 620 votes on the second ballot, enough to give him the nomination. The anti-Parker men freely admited today that Judge Parker had a ma jority of the convention. They denied, however, that a majority of the con vention would favor a safe, conserva tive platform.

JUNE 26. 1904 SOVEREIGNS SAY THEY LOVE PEACE King Edward and Emperor Wil liam Meet at Kiel and Declaim Oilify KIEL. June 25.—The royal yacht Vic toria and Albert, with King Edward on board, entered the Holtenau lock, at the mouth of the Baltic canal, this aft ernoon amidst salutes from the Ger man warships. Emperor William, who was accompanied by Prince Henry of Prussia, the Crown Prince Frederick William and a brilliant suite, awaited his uncle here. The meeting between the two sovereigns was most hearty. A guard of honor from the First ma rine artillery and a bodyguard from the First regiment of the guards were present, the latter in their historic metal caps. In their ranks stood three of the emperor's sons, Eitel Friederich, his second son; Oscar, his fifth, and little Joachim. All Dress Ship The king landed, witnessed a march of the guards and returned to his yacht, which afterward entered Kiel harbor. All the warships, yachts and other ves sels in the harbor dressed ship, and the shore batteries and warships fired royal salutes. After the Victoria and Albert had moored at Kiel, the two monarchs boarded the imperial yacht Hohenzol lern, where King Edward was received by the empress and had presented to him the royal entourage. Late this afternoon King Edward landed to pay a visit to Prince Henry at the castle, where his majesty took tea. There fras a gala dinner at 8 o'clock tonight on the Hohenzollern, which was attended by King Edward and the members of the royal family, a large company of high dignitaries of state and military and naval officers. The banquet on the Hohenzollern was held o n the upper deck. Emperor William in proposing a toast to King Edward said: Kaiser Presents Compliments 'It is a great satisfaction to me to welcome your royal and imperial maj esty for the first time on board a Ger man warship. Your majesty was greet edl by the thunder of the guns of the German fleet, which is glad to see its honorary admiral. It is the youngest creation among the fleets in the world and an expression of the reviving sea activity of the German empire, regen erated by the great emperor of undy ing memory. It is intended for the pro tection of trade and territory, and it also serves, like the German army, for the maintenance of peace, which the German empire has kept over thirty years and which Europe has preserved with it. It is known to everyone by your majesty's words and influence that your majesty's whole endeavors are directed to this very end —the preservation of peace—as I, too, am ever devoted to the wish that all might attain this end. May God lend suc cess to our efforts. "In unfading remembrance of the memorable hours spent together at Os borne at the deathbed of the great monarch of the world empire, now ruled by your majesty, I empty my glass to the health of your majesty—l drink the health of his majesty, the king.of Great Britain and Ireland and emperor of India." Edward Follrfws Same Line King Edward in his reply said: "Your majesty's appreciative refer ence to my unremitting endeavors for the maintenance of peace deeply touch me, and I am happy in the certainty that your majesty has the same object la view. May our two flags float side by side to the remotest ages, even as today, for the maintenance of peace and the welfare not only of our own countries, but also of all other na tions." A salute from the warships accompa nied the emperor's toast. When the king left the Hohenzollern, shortly aft er 10 o'clock, a signal rocket was fired, and all the warships burst into a blaze of light. Many small craft were il luminated and some displaying "God Save the King!" in electric lights trav ersed the harbor, where launches from the warships performed a series of ev olutions. Crowds on shore watched the bril liant spectacle despite an uncomforta ble rain. POSITION OF COMBES REMAINS UNSHAKEN French Inquiry Explodes Sensation Re garding Grand Chartreuse PARIS. June 25.—Political circles were convulsed throughout the week over the parliamentary investigation into the charges that the Grand Chartreuse mil lions were used in an attempt to corrupt leading personages. The affair threaten ed to cause a greater upheaval than the Dreyfus, Panama or Humbert affair. Paris stood aghast upon hearing the names of chief officers of the government connect ed with the transaction. It was general ly beiieved the time of the tombes min istry had finally come, and it was asserted that its downfall would involve the im plication of many persons in the highest walks of life. The sensation has been exploded. There is no further thought that Premier Combes would be seriously weakened. The investigation brought out a mass of conflicting testimony which seems to dis close that both the monks and the officials were the victims of unscrupulous go-be tweens who sought to induce the former to give and the latter to receive bribes in order to bring about a revocation of the order expelling the Carthusians from France. M. Lagrave, the French com missioner to the St. Louis exposition, was one of the central figv.res at the inquiry. His friends are satisfied with his integ rity, the testimony indicating that he was merely one of the unfortunate vic tims of the approach of the go-betweena.

On this road the Cossacks lost seven men killed and three of ficers and eleven men wounded. The position of Gen. Ku roki's men on the Siu-yan and Kaichou road is unchanged. Gen. Oku's army continues to advance from Senuchen, traveling six miles a day and marching in order of battle, evi dently expecting momentarily an attack from the Russians. Oku was about ten miles from Kaichou yesterday. The city is full of rumors that heavy fighting is in progress at Tatchekiao. These rumors are said to emanate from the palace of Peterhof, but no confirmation is obtainable. Anent the naval battle off Port Arthur on June 23, the only sister ship of the Peresviet at Port Arthur is the Pobieda; of the Diana the Pallada, and of the Sevastopol, the Poltava. SO SAYS SAKAROFF ST. PETERSBURG, June 25.—The general, staff has received the follow ing dispatch from Gor:. oakharoff, un der date of June 25: Since the morning of June 23 the enemy has continued to advance toward Kaichou. Three detachments of cavalry, each con sisting of four or five squadrons, led and were followed by dense lines of infantry, behind which are marching columns of the line. The Japanese columns towards evening extended along the Kho valley, about nine miles south of Senuchen with the cavalry parted in the rear. The in fantry, with machine guns. Held the vil lage of Motsiatung on the right flank. There was firing all day long. We lost one man wounded. The frontier guards under sub-Lieut. Demeyer ambuscaded and fired on a squadron of Japanese cavalry which lost considerably, ten of their horses being killed. There had been no further advance of the enemy towards Kaichou up to 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon since June 21, when a movement of the Japanese was observed from Khanza on the southern Siuen road towards Kaichou along the mountainous route from Khanza leading northward to Siakhotung. LEAVE UNDER PRESSURE The Japanese on June 22 occupied the village of Sian Diao, but toward evening evacuated the place under pressure by a detachment of our vanguard. The enemy concentrated three battal ions with six guns and four squadrons of UNCLE SAM INCURS DEBT TO FRANCE Latter Will Assert Authority In Morocco as Result of Per dicaris Episode PARIS. June 25.—The American offi cials here are hopeful that the Wash ington g-overnment will take steps to rec ognize the good offices of France which led up to the release of Perdicaris and Varley. Official dispatches from Tangier show that the diplomatic plans which Foreign Minister Delcasse set in motion were responsible for the final liberation of the prisoners. Moreover, France practical ly furnished the money from which the ransom was paid, as the recent French loan of $12,500,000 gave the sultan the means to meet Raisulis demand for $70, --000 ransom. M. Delcasse's energy throughout has been due to his earnest desire to acquiesce in the American re quest that France exercise her good of fices. The Raisuli incident is going to have an important effect in the adoption of a firm French policy toward Morocco. Def inite steps have already been taken to inaugurate French authority. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 25.—The state department does not contemplate any reclamations upon the Moorish gov ernment on account of the Perdicaris in cident. In its view that government has suffered severely both from a financial point of view and in national humiliation through its compliance with the demand of Secretary Hay that the captives be released, and as it appears that Perdicaris did not suffer undue hardship, that he was treated with kindness by Raisuli and that he has no ill feeling toward that, to him. agreeable bandit, no sufficient reason exists why any further demands should be made upon the sultan of Morocco either for indemnity or the punishment of the kidnapers. MOST VICTIMS ARE UNACCOUNTED FOR Figures on Magnitude of Slocum Disaster Are Revised NEW YORK, June 25.—That upwards of 1.000 persona perished in the burning of the excursion steamer Gen. Slocum is now practically certain. According to an exhaustive report made by Police Inspec tor Schmittbcrger on the number ufcdead. missing, injured and uninjured in the disaster It appears that D3S bodies have been recovered and that 93 persons ab- cavalry at Matsiavaitz, and at dawn of June '2'S a detachment consisting of a battalion of infantry, two guns and two squadrons of cavalry suddenly attacked a company of our vanguards bivouacing at Sian Diao. and forced the company to re tire. The Japanese occupied Black moun tain, north of Sian Diao, and also the pass east of Sian Diao on the Sia Kitung road. "The Russians concentrated on the heights near Siakhotung. Four com panies with three mountain guns were ordered to move from Siakhotung over the pass to Sian Diao. The Japanese were dislodged from their position by our artillery, and our detachments, reinforced, proceeded at 11 o'clock in the morning to attack the whole of the enemy's front. ' FALL BACK IN DISORDER The enemy fell back in utter disorder and Sian Diao was reoccupied at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Our artillery fire forced back the Japanese. who retired pre cipitately beyond Erltaka. Our losses were 7 soldiers killed. 3 officers and 14 soldiers wounded and 1 man missing. "Some Cossacks on June 23 prepared an ambuscade at Lintsiakhe, about four miles from Selyuchang. A Japanese de tachment fell into the ambuscade and lost fifteen killed amd wounded. Sub-Lieut. Polishoff. of the Russian force, was wounded. At 11 o'clock in the morning of June 22 a Russian detachment recon noitring three miles to the eastward of Aiyangmen, exchanged shots with the enemy's vanguard. At about noon the Russians advanced and attacked the Jap anese on the right flank, dislodging them from several advanced fortified positions. solutely known to be aboard the vessel are still unaccounted for, bringing the total mortality of the disaster up to 1.031. Those injured numbered 179, and of the 1,500 persons who embarked on the ex cursion of St. Mark's church only 236 es caped without injury. A thorough examination of the hull of the Slocum by Coroners Gorman and Berry and Inspector Albertson resulted in the discovery in the locker in which the fire started of barrels which had con tained kerosene and lubricating oil. The coroner's inquest will be continued on Tuesday and on Thursday the hearing by a federal grand jury will be opened. In the death today at Watchung, N. J., of Rev. Richard Frederick Moldenke, one of the best known Lutheran clergymen, another name vras added to the list of victims of the disaster. Dr. Moldenke was pastor of St. Peter's Lutheran church in New York city. Grief for twen ty members of his flock who went on the excursion and never returned, and his compassion for the bereft families of St Mark"s church so affected him that he be came ill. For years he had suffered from heart disease and last Sunday he broke down while holding a memorial service for the Slocum dead. He was taken to his country home, where death occurred. Dr. Moldenke was president general of the council of the Lutheran church of America from 1895 to 1599. He was born in Prussia Aug. 10, 1836. He was edu cated in the Universtity of Rostock, Ger many, and at Muhlenberg college, Pa. Dr. Moldenke came to this country as a traveling missionary in 1861 and was sent to Wisconsin.
