NEW JERSEY CAPTURES ALL HONORS AT SEAGIRT THREE CASES IN HAMBURG The reason for putting this new regu- lation into practice Is to maintain the policy of the university toward a small- er student body. In California there are not many schools that will be affected, but in Oregon and Nevada there are a large number from which many students come to Stanford every year. Many of Stanford's most prominent men have In the past come from Portland, Ore- gon, and as the new rule will Interfere with every preparatory school in Port- land, It is feared that many good men will now turn from Stanford to other universities where entrance Is easier.

"They leave," he said, "an ample root for Russian ambition in the future. The conditions prevailing before th« \u25a0war are liable to repetition at any time. Both nations agree to evacuate Man- churia, but If China is unable to main- tain order there Russia will have an opportunity to sow seeds of war In- stead of removing causes for a future dispute. It leaves the conditions ex- actly as before hostilities began." The Nippon pronounces the peace iwhlch has been concluded the bitterest dose the nation ever was compelled to take.

HURLED HEADLONG FROM CAR OF FERRIS WHEEL "The methods of the Hamburg- American Steamship company are very thorough. The American regulations require the detention of emigrants from an Infected country for five days, which is the period of Incubation for cholera. I shall have no hesitancy in giving a clean bill of health to the Graf Waldersee for the thousand emi- grants now detained on the Bulgaria In midstream below Hamburg." "Iam very much pleased with the frankness and openness both of the au- thorities and the steamship companies. Today I was Informed of the discovery of the latest case before it was officially published and this information enabled me to promptly visit the infected house and neighborhood in which It was sit- uated. I found that the precautions taken were most effectived The authorities trace the latest case of cholera to the same source as the other two.

PETERSBURG, Sept. 6.— There Is much comment in the morning pa- pers on the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which, it is claimed, is not conducive to peace because it upsets the balance of power In the far east and makes Great Britain and Japan predominant. The Novoe Vremya expresses tho opin- ion that It Is directed against Gorman designs In the far east, while the Svlet declares that the treaty shuts out Rus- sia from the Pacific and the open sea anywhere in Asia.

The entertainment was voted an unquali- fied success, the cook and assistants, who were hoisted aloft and lowered in chains, covering themselves with cul- inary glory. wager of $500 that he would cook a plum pudding ten feef beneath the sur- face of the Thames, near Rotherhithe. The bet was readily accepted and many people flocked to the appointed locale to watch this strange exhibition of the culinary art. Enclosed In a tin pan, in the center of a sack of lime, the pudding was lowered beneath the water, where for two hours and a half it remained. It was then taken up and partaken \u25a0of by a committee, who de- clared that Austin had won his wager, the pudding being. If anything, over- done. A Scotch student, preparing for an examination, had been told by his coach, according to the Dundee Adver- tiser, to be sure of knowing all the kings of Israel and Judah. But, to the student's dismay, he was not asked a single question about the kings. In- stead, the examiner asked him to dis- tinguish between the major and minor prophets. The student had a happy thought. He replied: "I prefer not to discriminate between major and minor prophets. It would be invidious. They were all good men. Let me rather tell you the kings of Israel and Judah!" Couldn't Make Comparisons A prominent oil man explained to the Associated Press that the loss would be more far-reaching than the mere financial value of the oil a.nd naphtha consumed and of the tanks, buildings and machinery destroyed, be- cause the supply of oil for purposes of fuel could not be replaced Inside of a year, and that the transportation of Russia, which requires a heavy use of oil for fuel, would suffer greatly. He said it was the custom to accumulate stocks of naphtha in winter for con- sumption in summer, and that there now was no recourse but to import oil fti high prices or to have resort. to the costly adoption of plants and locomo- tives which would consume other fuel. It Is expected that the ' ministry 'of finance will take immediate steps to re- move or reduce the tariff on oil, as suggested by the conference of experts and others Interested in the use of oil for fuel recently held at the sugges- tion of the minister of finance. Oil men who assembled at St. Peters- burg yesterday formulated measures which they deemed imperative and which they presented to Finance Min- ister Kokovsoff. These measures, which probably will be laid before the emperor, after detailing the causes leading to the present situation, ask that tho oil works be surrounded by troops and that the inflammatory ele- ments, namely, the Armenians and Tartars, be entirely excluded from the oil region. The oil men declare that they do not hold the workmen respon- sible, and that the regrettable events were not caused by the worklngmen's movements, which is economic and po- litical, but that their causes are deop rooted In the long continued general disorder which has reigned In the re- gion and Is due solely to rivalry among the races. Stringent Measures Demanded Other advices state that 8 hot fight is going on between Armenians and Tartars at Blbiebat and that great fires are still raging at Sabunto and No- mani, fed by immense tanks of naphtha, of which there are 1600 in that region, and that the conflagration at Baku, where up to last evening the tanks of the Society of Baku were In- tact, is steadily Increasing. Under these conditions, with fighting going on in the streets and with a hurricane blowing, the advices say it will be al- most impossible to extinguish the fires. "The fire continues in the 'black town' quarter and in Biblebat. Ener- getic measures and heavy reinforce- ments of troops are immediately neces- sary." A press dispatch from Baku, ap- proved by the censor, says: "The rival factions are concentrating in their quarters here. The situation is ex- ceedingly tense. Murders are frequent. Cannonading is heard from time to time. In the Moslem quarter the patrols have been fired upon. Balakhan is on fire and the Armenians are sur- rounded by armed villagers, appar- ently Tartars, and the cannonading there is unceasing. The Baku representative of a prom- inent company has telegraphed to his St. Petersburg headquarters as follows: "It is no longer a question of saving our property, but one of getting out at night." Representatives of the oil industry here are utterly despondent, and they declare that on the basis of the tele- grams so far received more than half of the industry In the Baku region has been wiped out and that the fire is making rapid inroads into the remain- der of the oil territory. Oil Industry Being Wiped Out The viceroy of the Caucasus dis- patched reinforcements of troops from Tiflls, but owing to the conditions throughout the whole of the southern part of the Caucasus the troops will be Inadequate to cope with the situation. In the suburban region the plight is desperate and soldiers are using artil- lery. According to reliable reports the troops have been forced to withdraw from the suburb Balakhan, where on Tuesday last the rioters set fire to thf oil works. That place Is now In the hands of the Tartars, who have com- pleted the work of destruction and who, it is said, mnssacred the inhabitants who did not accompany the troops In their retirement. Telephonic and rail- road communication between Baku an*l the suburban oil centers are cut, and late last night it was reported that the wires into Baku were down. ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 7.—The news from Baku received up to the time of the filingof this dispatch is of the gloomiest character. The Armenian and Tartar warring factions now ap- pear to be entirely beyond control and the force of troops inadequate to re- strain the anarchical tendencies of the combatants in the surrounding region.

Tho Meanest Man According to the Kansas City Journal a hotel keeper has been found in north- ern Missouri who is so mean that when a baby was born in one of his rooms he' immediately -wrote Its name on the register and began charging it for room and board. When it was discovered that Walker had been cast Into prison, an appeal was carried to the United States con- sul at Panama and a demand was made for Walker's release. The ' prisoner was carried from x the cell ' almost a wreck. He was taken to Panama and , given medical treatment. His relatives Walker disappeared, it is alleged. He was finally located at a prison in the mountains, miles from the Pacific cosat, In . the province of Varaguez. There he 'had been subjected. to out- rageous treatment. Very little food wav given him. Bugs and worms crawled about the filthy dungeon. The environ- ments quickly told on his mind and body, and before relief came he became enfeebled and demented.' . //', It is. the conviction of many of .Walker's friends that his Imprisonment was the .result of the pernicious ac- tivity of certain American financial interests operating in Panama mining regions. Walker was sent to the isth- mian republic to superintend and In- spect mining property, leased by pri- vate Interests In Detroit and Pontiac. Before operations were well under way It developed that the validity of the lease had not been conclusively estab- lished. .By Associated Press.

Descending from sky to the sea we find, one warm July day of 1900, the American submarine Argonaut running smoothly along thirty-five feet beneath the surface. On board was a party of guests invited by Captain Lake to un- dergo the novel experience of partak- ing, while beneath the surface, of a dinner cooked under the water. Tho meal was a brilliant success, as, too. were the supper and breakfast served six months later,' under similar condi- tions, on boards the Holland boat Ful- ton. A diving- bell was some years since utilized as a kitchen to supply a repast for half a dozen convives who, fpr a wager, had undertaken to cook and eat a dinner of half a dozen courses under- neath the water.

The summit of Salisbury's Bpire was used as a kitchen in1655; when a plum- ber named Handley, having surmounted Its height of 400 feet, proceeded with the utmost nonchalence to cook an ample repast, consisting of a shoulder of mut- ton and a couple of fowls..

The reason for putting this new regu-

policy of the university toward a small-er student body.

In California there are not manyschools that will be affected, but inOregon and Nevada there are a largenumber from which many studentscome to Stanford every year. Many

of Stanford's most prominent men haveIn the past come from Portland, Ore-gon, and as the new rule will Interferewith every preparatory school inPort-land, It is feared that many good menwillnow turn from Stanford to otheruniversities where entrance Is easier.

Count Okuma, leader of the progres-

root for Russian ambition in the future.

The conditions prevailing before th«\u25a0war are liable to repetition at any time.Both nations agree to evacuate Man-churia, but IfChina is unable to main-

A Scotch student, preparing for anexamination, had been told by hiscoach, according to the Dundee Adver-tiser, to be sure of knowing all thekings of Israel and Judah. But, to thestudent's dismay, he was not asked asingle question about the kings. In-stead, the examiner asked him to dis-tinguish between the major and minorprophets. The student had a happythought. He replied: "Iprefer not todiscriminate between major and minorprophets. It would be invidious. They

Couldn't Make Comparisons

A prominent oil man explained to

the Associated Press that the losswould be more far-reaching than themere financial value of the oil a.ndnaphtha consumed and of the tanks,buildings and machinery destroyed, be-cause the supply of oil for purposes of

fuel could not be replaced Inside of ayear, and that the transportation ofRussia, which requires a heavy use of

oil for fuel, would suffer greatly. Hesaid it was the custom to accumulatestocks of naphtha in winter for con-sumption in summer, and that therenow was norecourse but to import oilfti high prices or to have resort. to the

costly adoption of plants and locomo-tives which would consume other fuel.It Is expected that the

'ministry 'of

finance willtake immediate steps to re-move or reduce the tariff on oil, assuggested by the conference of expertsand others Interested in the use of oilfor fuel recently held at the sugges-

tion of the minister of finance.

Oil men who assembled at St. Peters-burg yesterday formulated measureswhich they deemed imperative and

which they presented to Finance Min-

ister Kokovsoff. These measures,

which probably will be laid before theemperor, after detailing the causesleading to the present situation, askthat tho oil works be surrounded by

troops and that the inflammatory ele-ments, namely, the Armenians andTartars, be entirely excluded from theoil region. The oil men declare that

they do not hold the workmen respon-sible, and that the regrettable events

were not caused by the worklngmen'smovements, which is economic and po-litical, but that their causes are deop

rooted In the long continued general

disorder which has reigned In the re-gion and Is due solely to rivalryamong the races.

Stringent Measures Demanded

Other advices state that 8 hot fight

is going on between Armenians andTartars at Blbiebat and that great fires

are still raging at Sabunto and No-mani, fed by immense tanks ofnaphtha, of which there are 1600 in thatregion, and that the conflagration atBaku, where up to last evening thetanks of the Society of Baku were In-tact, is steadily Increasing. Under

these conditions, with fighting going onin the streets and with a hurricaneblowing, the advices say it will be al-most impossible to extinguish the fires.

"The fire continues in the 'blacktown' quarter and in Biblebat. Ener-

getic measures and heavy reinforce-ments of troops are immediately neces-sary."

A press dispatch from Baku, ap-proved by the censor, says: "The rivalfactions are concentrating in theirquarters here. The situation is ex-ceedingly tense. Murders are frequent.Cannonading is heard from time to

time. In the Moslem quarter thepatrols have been fired upon. Balakhanis on fire and the Armenians are sur-rounded by armed villagers, appar-ently Tartars, and the cannonading

there is unceasing.

The Baku representative of a prom-

inent company has telegraphed to hisSt. Petersburg headquarters as follows:"It is no longer a question of saving

our property, but one of getting out atnight."

Representatives of the oil industry

here are utterly despondent, and they

declare that on the basis of the tele-

grams so far received more than halfof the industry In the Baku region hasbeen wiped out and that the fire ismaking rapid inroads into the remain-der of the oil territory.

Inadequate to cope with the situation.In the suburban region the plight is

desperate and soldiers are using artil-lery.

According to reliable reports thetroops have been forced to withdrawfrom the suburb Balakhan, where onTuesday last the rioters set fire to thfoil works. That place Is now In thehands of the Tartars, who have com-pleted the work of destruction and who,it is said, mnssacred the inhabitantswho did not accompany the troops In

their retirement. Telephonic and rail-road communication between Baku an*lthe suburban oil centers are cut, andlate last night it was reported that the

wires into Baku were down.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 7.—Thenews from Baku received up to thetime of the filingof this dispatch is of

the gloomiest character. The Armenianand Tartar warring factions now ap-

pear to be entirely beyond control and

the force of troops inadequate to re-strain the anarchical tendencies of thecombatants in the surrounding region.

Walker disappeared, itis alleged. Hewas finally located at a prison in themountains, miles from the Pacificcosat, In. the province of Varaguez.

There he 'had been subjected. to out-rageous treatment. Very little food wavgiven him. Bugs and worms crawledabout the filthydungeon. The environ-ments quickly told on his mind andbody, and before relief came he becameenfeebled and demented.' . //',

It is. the conviction of many of

.Walker's friends that his Imprisonmentwas the .result of the pernicious ac-tivity of certain American financialinterests operating in Panama mining

regions. Walker was sent to the isth-mian republic to superintend and In-spect mining property, leased by pri-vate Interests In Detroit and Pontiac.Before operations were well under way
