ST. PETERSBURG. July 17.-^The
news that the Russian volunte

burg now cruising In the Red Bea a
stopping ships of neutral nations ni
searching them for contraband of w
is causing the liveliest interest In j
circles. Russia has evidently weigh
the question, believes herself to be
within her rights and neither fears nor
anticipates International complications.
Indeed, some of the powers may have
been sounded by Russia on the subject.
Nevertheless, foreign opinion Is await
ed eagerly and more or less criticism la
expected.
Members of diplomatic corps are
keenly anxious to ascertain the views
their governments will take of the
passige through the Dardanelles af

Interesting question raised is whether
coal is contraband of war and can be
supplied or not to Russian men-of-war.
Russia and Britain.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 17.—The
Associated Press is authoritatively in
formed that since the outbreak of the
war neither Russia nor Great Britain
has proposed negotiations looking to
the settlement of pending questions
between the two countries and that
consequently the report that Russia
has rejected any overture* by Great
Britain In this direction la a mistake.
The important fact, however, ha* de
veloped from the inve*tlgatlon* made
by the Associated Press that prior to
the outbreak of hostilities tentative ne
gotiations for the adjustment of long
standing differences between the two
countries had actually begun, but when
Great Britain’s ally became involved In
t war with Russia, the impropriety of
continuing the negotiations was recog
nized by both parties and by rautiiat
agreement they were adjourned. Hines
that time there has been no effort by
either side to renew them.
Nevertheless. it seems beyond ques
tion that the diplomacy of both coun
tries (a striving to pave the way to
ward an entente at the conclusion of
the war. In the meantime, such Inde
pendent questions as arise ore being
adjudicated in the best of spirt'

FIRE IN WAYCROSS.
Damage Was Small but a Block Was
Endangered.
WAYCROSS. Ga., July 17.—Fire In
the largest block of the city at one
o’clock this morning came near causing
one of the most disastrous blazes in
the history of the city. Fire caught In
the grocery and fruit store of A. L.
Gorman and the whole Interior was
ablaze when discovered. From the Gor
man store the fire swept Into Miller’s
restaurant next door, but was extin
guished without causing much damage.
Oorman’B stock was totally destroyed
and the building ruined. The Insurance
was $250 In Miller’s restaurant, the loss
about $100, covered by Insurance. Some
are of the opinion that the fire was
caused by burglars, as the back door
of Gorman’s atore was open when the
firemen arrived.
ATLANTA. Ga.. July 17.—Hon. WII
11am Ennis, one of Floyd county's ablo
representatives in tho legislature
one of the most popular members of
the house saved the life of a little
In the union passenger depot in this
city. As the child skipped from
track to another to get out of the
of approaching trains she got in tho
way of another train. She did not
realize the danger that she was In, but
Mr. Ennis did In time to grab her by
the shoulder and Jirk her from tho
track, us a large locomotive was only
a few feet from her. But for Mr. Ei
nls’ prompt action the child would hav
been ground to death under the wheels
of the ponderous machine. In pulling
tho child from in front of the engine
Mr. Ennis almost scared the life out
of tho little thing, but ho saved her
life.
The conjested condition of the depot
t certnln hours of the day is such
that too much care cannot be exerrisi
by the traveling public. Tho tracks
aro so close together that visitors to
the depot need a pair of eyes looking
in every direction to avoid beiqg killed,
But there Is the consolation of knowing
that when the new, union passenger
depot is completed there will be room
enough in the old shed to hold a con
vention without danger of any one be
ing hurt by a passenger train.
COLLAPSE OF BALL STAND.
Two Hundred People Were Hurled to
Ground—Many Injured.
CLEVELAND. O., July 17.—Two
hundred people were hurled to the
ground today by the collapse of a
stand at Brighton park, a suburb of
this city.
A ball game between amateur clubs
was in progress ond the stand was
crowded, when, without warning, the
entire crowd was thrown to the ground
In a heap. Other spectators and the
boll players lmmedlaely set to work
extricating the people from the wreck
age, while calls were sent out for am
bulances. When all were finally extri

hud sustained broken nrms or legs,
while a number of others were other
wise bruised and cut.
It is claimed the cojlapse was caused
by the removal of some underpinning,
which had been carried off by people
for fire wood.

ith Michael Donnelly, the strikers’
leader. In St. Louis looking after that
end of the difficulty, there was no ef
fort here today to renew'the peaco ne
gotiations which lasted through three
iys last week and were terminated
last night without result. Whether an
other attempt to reach nn adjustment
pending controversy by Ar
bitration will bo made very soon
problematic, ns the packers, believ
ing tho^ had the better of the argu
ment in last week's conferences, are
little inclinde to offer nny concessions
the strikers. One thing is certain,
tho packers say, and that is they will
not recede from the position they as
sumed In last week'B conference, and
thnt the strikers will have to conform
to the employers’ ultimatum before any
further peace plans looking to a set
tlement by arbitration will bo success
ful. To add to the packers' determina
tion to stand firm Ih the fact that they
have steadily increased their working
force at the plants by the employment
of outside workmen, until today It was
said that things were In almost normal
condition at several of the planta. Un-
these conditions packers have as
sumed a more Independent attitude and
ure more determined tonight than ever
that they nnd not the strikers shall
dictate th* tern* on which the con
troversy shall bo arbitrated.
As the strikers declare that they
have conceded every point possible In

to much toward a satisfactory settle
ment of the strike. With both sides in
tills frame of mind the outlook for a
speedy settlemen Is decidedly dark.
The sticking point to the whole ques
tion of arbitration Is the reinstatement
of the strikers. Mr. Donnelly at his con-
wlth tho packers waived every
other demand ho had made and agreed
order tho men back to work. leaving
the adjustment of all differences to ar
