Russians Occupy Stanislau.
London, Aug 1 -. A further scries
of surprising successes by the armies
of Generals Sakaharoff and Letchltzky
were announced today by the Rus-
sians. The most consequential of
these were the capture, without firing
a shot, of the important railway June
tion and town of Stanislau; the defi-
nite occupation of Monasterzyska, and
the seizure of important positions on
the Zlota Li pa line.
Coupled with these victories was
the capture of many thousand prison-
ers, especially on the right bank of
the Sereth w here the prisoners taken j
number five thousand.

Copenhagen, Aug 11 The first
reading of the bill providing for the
sale of the Danish West Indies to the
United States was taken up in the
Folkething, the lower house of the
rigsdag, today and will be continued
tomorrow. It is believed that the
Folkething will adopt the measure
owing to the fact that the Radical
and Socialistic parties, which have a
majority, favor the sale.
On the other hand, the Lami thing,
or upper house, is thought to he op
posed to the measure, the left party
having joined the conservatives, who
desire to postpone consideration of
today there
the house
and some women among th • specta-
tors shouted, "We will not sell."
Several of the ministers took part
in the debate and the statement was
made in bt half of the government that,
neither domestic nor economic con-
siderations, but the international situ
tion, had brought the question to a
head and that if the sale was rejected
the government would dissolve the
rigsdag and appeal to the country.
The finance minister, Edward
Brandes, intimated that the govern-
ment had no alternative but to accede
to the desire of the United States.
The foreign minister, Erie I>e Sea-
venius, in opening the debate, recom-
mended ratification of the sale. He
denied that the government was
forced to sell, and added that the gov-
ernment had not favored the sale of
the islands because of the favorable
purchase price, but because retention
of the islands might possibly involve
Denmark in international complica-
tions. It was for the rigsdag now to
make a final decision.
Washington, Aug. 11 Senator
Stone, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, today denounced as
a "dishonorable act," the publication
of the terms of the treaty for purchase
of the Danish West Indies and served
notice in the senate that he would
ask for an investigation at the next
executive session of how a printed
copy got into the possession of a

summons, extended through the Fed
era'l Board of Mediation and Concili- !
ation, the men announced that the
leaders of the four railroad brother-
hoods would leave for Washington at
midnight, accompanied by thirty of
the six hundred delegates assembled
here.
An hour later the railroad man-
agers, nineteen in number, said that
they would leave for the capital at
the same time.
Both parties will reach Washington
tomorrow in time for an early con-
ference with the President.
Wouldn't Accept Any Arbitration.
The final break came late today af-
ter the men had been in secret ses-
sion nearly six hours. Reports differ
as to the reason for the failure of the
negotiations in view of the cheerful
outlook of the night before. The men
asserted they refused to arbitrate be-
cause the railroads insisted on arbi
trating their "contingent proposition."
The board of mediators, in a state-
ment issued tonight declared, how-
ever, that the men rejected their
proposition, contending that thev
would not arbitrate even if the rail-
roads waived the contingent proposi-
j tion.
The chief objection of the men to
arbitrating the railroads' "contingent
proposition" lay in their contention
that the proposal entailed the wiping
out of double compensation features
which the men have gained during
thirty years of effort The railroads
have contended that double compensa-
tion, together with the demands of
the men, if granted, would increase
the wages of many of their employes
more than 100 per cent.

Dr. John B. Murphy of Chicago, one

geons. died todaj at a hotel here w hile
on a summer outing. An attack of
heart disease was the immediate
cause of death. Doctor Murph} had
