Paris Is Excited.'
ORDER IS RESTORED.
PARIS, June 21. (Special.) The
Cabinet held a lengthy session last
night, only breaking up at midnight.
The crisis in the Midi was thorough
ly discussed.
At 2 A. M. it was announced that
Premier Clemenceau had received
a message from the Prefect at Nar
bonne stating that order had been
restored.
PARIS. June ax The rebellious ex
cesses and rioting In the Midi are caus
ing the greatest excitement and appre
hension In Paris. All the afternoon pa
pers issued editions every hour today.
The general impression here seems to be
that the situation is even worse than had
been supposed and that the revolt is
likely to increase, especially in view of
the somewhat violent tempers of the in
habitants of the Southern provinces. As
the news spreads it is thought that fur
ther disturbances will take place. The
outbreaks in Narbonne, Herpignan,
Montpelier and other places .are regarded
as ominous.
PARIS, June 20. Owing to the censor
ship in the South, only brief items of
news of the winegrowers' demonstrations
have reached Paris up to this afternoon.
These, however, showed that the conflicts
between the troops and mobs were more
sanguinary than at first supposed.
At (Narbonne. three persons were killed
and full a hundred soldiers and civilians.
Including a score of women, are said to
have been wounded, several fatally. The
troops, who were ordered to lire in the
-air. shot straight at the mob besieging
them in the courtyard of the sub-prefecture.
Rebel Sections Isolated.
A whole army corps has been put in
motion to deal with the rebellious wine
growers, but the government claims that
the forces are now so distributed so as
to Isolate the different sections and ren
der it .practically impossible to effect a
general mobilization of the disaffected
people. Three of the Argelllers commit
teemen, who have fled to escape arrest,
surrendered to the authorities today and
were Jailed at Montpelier.
It 'Was officially announced today that
"owing to the occurrences last night In
the south of France, the President, after
consultation with the King of Slam, has,
decided to postpone the festivities ar
ranged in the King's honor, and conse
. quently the banquet arranged for this
evening at the Klysee palace has been
postponed.
The newspapers report another attempt
to burn the sub-prefecture at Narbonne.
A mob plied straw at the gates and set
fire to it. Gendarmes fired from the
upper stories and the attackers fled.
Town Is Battle-Scarred.
It is also announced that there has
been further shooting in the streets of
Narbonne and many persons have been
wounded.
Narbonne is reported as presenting a re
markable spectacle. Paving stones used
in the assault upon the troops encumber
the streets, the walls are marked with
bullets, windows are broken and the
cafos are wrecked. the furniture having
been used for building barricades. Broken
bottles used as clubs litter the streets
everywhere. Most of the wounded are
suffering from gunshot wounds and saber
gashes or from fractured skulls or limbs.
MOB .LYNCHES A POLICEMAN
Body Riddled .by Bullets and Cast
Into Canal Troops 1'ire.
NARBONNE. June 20. The riotous ele
ment of the populace of this place cast off
all restraint this afternoon and the city
became the scene of many wild excesses.
A secret police agent was lynched, and
other persons were treated with the most
extraordinary brutality. For a gendarme
or policeman to appear on the boulevardes
alone was to court risk of being clubbed
to death. The troops ultimately were
obliged to intervene for the protection of
the officers of the law. This resulted in
lurther bloodshed.
The secret police agent who was
lynched was patrollng the Promenade des
Barques, when the mob suddenly Invaded
the street. They seized him and clubbed
him until he was senseless. Then they
riddled his body with bullets and pitched
hlra into the canal. Later they fished
the body out of the water, and attaching
a rope to it, dragged it through the
streets, acting ferociously all the while.
When the troops arrived on the scene
there was sharp fighting.
The mob attempted to rush the sol
diers, but the latter fixed bayonets -and
repelled the assaults. Revolvers were
drawn by the rioters, and the troops
were fired upon until they were forced
In self-defense to shoot.
Numbers of the mob fell, four persons
being killed, among whom was a girl
2.0 years old. Eleven others are known
to have been wounded, and many others
were carried off by friends. Several
casualties occurred owing to the gen
darmes. Police officers were attacked and sav
agely ill-treated and maimed, but they
managed to escape with tlielr lives.
Gunstores were raided, and the revolu
tionists, who were armed with revol
vers, appeared to be fearless of the in
fantry. Frequent cavalry' Charges were
necessary to disperse them.
Street barricades were numerous, but
they were torn down by the troops al
most as soon as completed. One of the
Generals commanding the forces fell
Into the hands of the mob, that threat
ened to throw.-him into the canal unless
he should solemnly swear not to em
ploy cuirassiers against them again.
The General yielded to the superior
force, and the cuirassiers since have
been replaced by dragoons. A promi
nent Police Judge was caught by the
crowd and held.
A conflict in which the IS 9th reg
iment fired volleys caused the worst
possible impression. The ehootlng ap
pears to have been due to the pre
cipitancy of a non-commissioned of
ficer, and it is stated that the com
mandant of the 139th regiment was
o horror stricken at the unfortunate
affair that he tore off his Insignia of
SOUTHERN
HUNG
rank in front of his men and later re
signed his command, but this is not
confirmed.
Crowds stand mournfully gazing at
the pools of blood where the dead and
wounded fell. On the blood-stained
pavement is chalked the inscription,
"Here fell the victims of the 139th.
Death to Clemenceau and Ficquart."
The funeral of the victims is fixed
to take place tomorrow and the
greatest disturbances are apprehended.
DEPUTIES ATTACK MINISTRY
Premier Clemenceau Declares He
, Will Put Down the Rebellion.
PARIS, June 20. The government- was
put on its defense in the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon when it was
asked to Justify the repressive measures
adopted against the rebellious winegrow
ers of the south, but after subjecting
Premier Clemenceau to a hot Are. the
deputies decided to postpone until to
morrow a formal interpellation on the
Bubject, on which the fight of the
ministry hangs.
After confirming the reports of the
sanguinary fight at Narbonne and Mont
pelier, for which he blamed the local
Toughs, the premier declared his inten
tion to repel attacks on public buildings
until driven from his post by the
chamber.
A special dispatch from Narbonne says
that a state of siege was proclaimed
there at noon. No confirmation of the
report was obtained.
Set Fire to Prefecture.
PERPIGNAN, France, June 20. A dis
perate attempt was made tonight by a
huge crowd of rioters to burn down the
prefecture. The crowd fought off the
lire brigade for a time, but, assisted by
the troops, the firemen finally succeeded
in extinguishing the flames. The build
ing, however, was badly damaged. Thou
sands of manlfestants are parading the
streets tonight in a state of the wildest
excitement.
Diplomat Xot Recognized.
WASHINGTON, June 20. Secretary
Root has declined to grant the requeBt of
Dr. Angel Ugarte to be received at the
department as the diplomatic representa
tive of the Hondurean provisional govern
ment, which amounts to a refusal to
recognize that government at this time.
Conflicts at Montpelier.
MONTPELIER, France, June 20. The
greater portion of the population demon
strated In the streets today until a late
hour. There were several conflicts with
the troops.
HOLDS UP STAGES ALONE
'BLACK KID" AT WORK AGAIN
AT YOSEMITE.
Covers Passengers With Winchester
and Has Valuables Collected for
Him by a Boston Man.
WAWONA, Cal., June 20. Two of
the regular stages from Raymond
bound for Wawona were held up and
16 passengers relieved of their val
uables yesterday by the "Black Kid,"
the famous lone highwayman of this
section.
Yesterday afternoon in the locality
of his former successes, the robber
stood at the side of the road with an
old rusty 44 Winchester rifle, leveled
at Archie Turner, the driver. He called
on Turner to hold up, and then com
manded the passengers to put up their
hands.
He waited until the second stage ap
peared, when he commanded all the
passengers to alight and hold up their
hands. He then singled out Francis
3. Eaton, of Boston, to pass the hat,
demanding of the frightened passen
gers their purses and watches.
After having made the collection,
Eaton was compelled to tie the wealth,
consisting of several articles of
jewelry and J250, in a handkerchief,
and pass It over. "While the collect
ing process was going on the robber
compelled Mrs. Eaton to stand be
hind him, thus using her as a shield
from any attack from the rear.
While waiting for the second stage
and when the collection was going
on the "Kid" talked pleasantly with
the driver. The robber helped himself
to some peaches, potatoes and crackers
from the stage, remarking that he had
a hard night before him.
When he had finished the general
holdup and had replenished his stock
of foodstuffs, he ordered the passen
gers back into the stages and com
manded the drivers to go on.

CHICAGO, III., June 2a (Special.) Of
ficers of the Chicago Junction Railroad,
the outer belt line of Chicago, today ad
mitted that it had been leased to the
Vanderbilt lines with the right to pur
chase, and the prediction was made that
it would be purchased within a year.
The Vanderbilt lines already own the
inner belt and the $SO.0O0,O0O coup in se
curing the outer belt gives that system
control of the greatest tonnage produc
ing area in the world.
Insure Control of 80 Per Cent.
Every road that enters Chicago, or
that can enter, mast bisect one or both
of these belts and pay tribute. It is es
timated that this deal will ensure the
New York Central lines at least 80 per
cent of all traffic originating in and
around Chicago, or which uses this city
as a transfer point.
Another integral part of this great traf
fic coup which the Vanderbilts have been
quietly perfecting for the past five years
is the Chicago, Indiana & Southern road,
which they have built directly south from
Chicago to Da'iville, where it connects
with the Big Four road. It is a part of
the comprehensive traffic campaign
which they have carefully planned and
executed to extend this system straight
south to the Gulf before the opening of
the Panama Canal.
Accordingly, when the canal is opened,
the New York Central lines will, through
the expenditure of at least $125,000,000 and
possibly $150,000,000, have the whip hand
over the greatest tonnage producing area
In the world. Traffic men say that this
plan will give the Vanderbilts practical
control over the following traffic:
Be Able to Dominate : Traffic.
Traffic originating from all points
south of Chicago to the Gulf and des
tined to points east of Chicago. Traffic
originating anywhere west of Chicago
and destined for points east through
Chicago or around it. All traffic orig
inating east of Chicago destined for
points south. West or northwest of Chi
cago and routed through or around
Chicago. All coal traffic originating
in a vast field in Illinois and Indiana
and destined for points east, west and
northwest of Chicago. The first call
upon 80 per cent of the traffic originat
ing in and about Chicago and destined
for points east and many points south
of hero.
The line known as the outer belt of
the Chicago Junction Railway Com
pany, consists of 24.8 miles of tracks
owned by that company and 13.8 miles
owned by the Chicago Terminal Trans
fer Railway Company and over which
the Junction Railway Company has a
99-year lease.
CLEVELAND IN NO DANGER
Reports of Operation on Ex-President
Without Foundation.
PRINCETON. N. J.. June 20. According
to a statement issued from the home of
ex-President Cleveland tonight the alarm
ing reports sent broadcast concerning his
condition are practically groundless. The
statement follows:
"Mr. Cleveland is suffering from acute
indigestion. The report, that an opera
tion had been performed upon him today
for the removal of a malignant growth,
is absolutely untrue. No operation was
contemplated. Mr. Cleveland is in no
danger and will be around again in a few
days."
Mrs. Cleveland is authority for the fore

limits whether the land restored contains
timber or not.
At the opening of today's session the
delegates were looking forward to a warm
fight on the floor of the convention over
resolutions in favor of turning the public
grazing lands over to the various
Western States for local management,
and against "the inauguration of any
policy that will result in the United
States Government becoming the per
manent holder and landlord of the re
maining public lands or the natural
resources connected therewith."
Five resolutions were introduced and
read. The commercial bodies of Col
orado Springs and the directors of the
Colorado State Forestry Association in
troduced resolutions indorsing the
work of the forestry service.

from the National organization, about
whose eligibility there has been some
dispute, was adopted.
Then a motion was made that the
organizations in dispute be admitted
without further discussion. This was
defeated, 34S to 221. This was the first
test of the strength of the two Bides,
the result beinr that the Government
forces were defeated. The disposition
of the National organization was then
referred back to the credentials com
mittee. Delegates as Apportioned.
The report of the committee on per
manent organization and order of busi
ness made the following appointments:
Each state and territory having one
or more delegates shall be entitled to
10 votes. Each Chamber of Commerce,
Board of Trade, Real Estate Exchange
or commercial body, as well as each
association of stockgrowers or lumber
men, and forestry, irrigation, horticul
tural organization, represented on the
floor of the convention by one or more
delegates, shall have five votes. No
proxies shall bo allowed. Each United
States Senator, Congressman' and Gov
ernor and Territorial Delegate shall be
given a seat in the convention. The
report of the committee was adopted.
At the afternoon session, the committee
on credentials recommended that the
delegations from the National associa
tions be seated because they lived west
of the Mississippi River. The report was
adopted.
Secretary Garfield made a lengthy argu
ment in support of the position assumed
by his department. He read a letter
from President Roosevelt which was ad
dressed to Secretary of Agriculture "Wil
son, when it was expected he would be
present at the convention. The letter in
part follows:
There has been placed in my hands a
paper purporting to be Issued by the pro
gramme committee of the Public Lands
Convention to bo held at Denver. The pre
liminary discussion of the general subject
In this paper contains several statements
to which I desire to call your especial at
tention, as they not merely misrepresent the
attitude of the administration, but portray
that attitude as the direct reverse of what
It really Is.
The first and most important of these
misstatements Is to the effect that there
has been a change In the public land policy
of the Government, which change will result
In depriving the Western states of the right
to settle the pub Ho lands with American
citizens. This allegation directly reverses
the actual facts. The course the Govern
ment Is now pursuing Is to carry out the
traditional home-making policy of the
United States as to its public lands. The
men most interested In opposing the action
of the Administration are those who are
endeavoring to upset the traditional course
of the Government, and are doing all in
their power to turn the public lands over to
be exploited by rich men and powerful cor
porations whose Interests are hostile to
those of the homemakers.
Settlers' Rights Come First.
The policy of the present Administration
has steadily been, and is now and will be,
to promote and foster actual settling, actual
home-making on the public lands in every
possible way. '
We have Incurred the violent hostility of
the individuals and corporations seeking, toy
fraud, and sometimes by violence, to ac
quire and monopolize great tracts of the
public domain to the exclusion of settlers.
The beneficiaries and Instigators of, or par
ticipators Irr, the frauds, of course, disap
prove the acts of the Administration. Bui
if the Administration's policy is upset, the
one man who would be irreparably Injured
would be the settler, the homemaker, the
man of small means, who has taken up a
farm which he intends himself to work, and
on the proceeds he Intends to support and
bring up his family.
Lastly, the coal lands that were with
drawn from settlement to enable Congress
to consider a law to protect public interests
against the coal monopolies, by leasing the
rights to mine the coal. Unfortunately,
Congress failed to act In the matter and
most of the coal lands have been already
restored to- entry, while the remainder are
being restored as rapidly as the necessary
examinations In the field can be made.
As a matter of actual fact most of the
eoal lands have hitherto been taken under
some forms of entry other than those of the
coal entry laws, and In many cases by
actual fraud. The Administration will cer
tainly renew Its efforts to get Congress to
pass a law which will do away with the
fraud.
The writers of this programme state that
the plan of Government control of the range
submitted to Congress last Winter Involved
the perpetual ownership of the lands by the
Government. This 'statement is not In ao
cord with the facts. This proposed law
specifically provides that the range land
under Government control should be open
to entry or location under all of the public
land laws and provided in every way for
the protection of the rights of the settler.
As a matter of fact, one of the prime rea
sons for advocating Its passage is because
If enacted It will safeguard the rights of
the homemaker on the public range far
more effectively than they are now safe
guarded, and would make settlement easier
and safer than It can possibly be under
present conditions.
Land Thieves Thwarted.
As to the forest reserves, their creation
has damaged Just one class; the managers
and owners of great lumber companies,
which by -.Illegal, fraudulent or unfair
methods, have desired to get possession of
the valuable timber of the .public domain,
to skin the land, and to abandon It when
impoverished well nigh to the point ot
wo rth 1 esan ess.
It has been alleged that the Government
Intends to make the -users of water for irri
gation pay for their water. There has never
been any such intention, and no such
course will ever be followed while the
present Administration Is In existence. But
owners of water power within National
forests should certainly pay something for
the valuable services rendered to them by
the Government. They are not being
charged and cannot be charged for the
water so far as the National Government is
concerned, but for the protection to their
water sheds which they themselves would
have to bear the cost of supplying if the
Government did not supply it for them.
Mr. Garfield said It was 'the policy
of the Interior Department to put an
actual settler on every acre of agricul
tural land In the forest reserves. The
Secretary denied the Intention to do any
thing unconstitutional in regard to the
public lands. After a prolonged discus
sion, the report of the committee on
Sam'l Rosenblatt & Co.
Corner Third and Morrison Streets
resolutions was adopted and the conven
tion adjourned sine die.
