Other Subjects.
SHANGHAI, July 27. The draft of the

still awaits the approval of tho British

As Many Favored the Government
as "Were Asnlnst It.
PARIS, July 27. The demonstration
made today in connection with the decree
of Premier Combes ordering the closing
of the Congregatlonist schools proved to
be quite as much of a "manifestation In
bupport of the government as in oppo
sition to its measures. The crowd which
flocked in the Place de la Concorde num
bered 15,000 persons, while as many more
throngeu .the Champs Elysees. The
clerical and antl-clerlcal forces about
equally divided the gatherings. Tho for
mer were distinguishable by the read,
white and blue paper flowers which they
wore, while the latter sported red gela
tines. Though many fights occurred, they did
not become general nor was an' person
seriously injured. An imposing force of
police and mounted municipal guards had
much trouble in keeping the people con
stantly moving, and at times they, were
forced to charge to prevent the crowd be
coming too dense. On the whole the
crowds were good-natured and mainly con
fined themselves to shouting "Liberty,
liberty," "Long live tho Sisters," and
"We want the Slstrrs." to which the anti
Clericals replied: "Vive la republique."
and "Down with the priests." The oc
casional appearance of a priest was a
signal for much hooting, and several
fights were due to their presence.
A striking feature of the manifestations
was the large number of women, many
of cm well dressed, who actually par
ticipated. Nor were these all Clerical In
their sympathies, fpV the anti-Clerical
women were also out in strong force, and
they occasionally made things lively for
their Clerical sisters, which the police
had some difficulty in preventing. In one
Instance a detachment of mounted guards
had to rescue three well-dressed ladles
from the hands of a group of Socialist
women who were bent on mobbing them.
The Clericals made several attempts to
reach the Place Beauveau, on which the
Klysee Palace and the -Ministry of the In
terior are situated, but were prevented
from doing so by strong cordons of police
and municipal guards, who were stationed
at all the approaches in order to prevent
demonstrations in front of these buildings.
The demonstrations culminated when a
group of SO ladles, son-e in carriages and
some on foot, headed by Mesdames Rellle,
De Mun, Clblel and Depommerol, attempt
ed to reach the Ministry of the Interior
in order to present to Premier Combes
a petition on behalf of the Sisters. Tho
police, however, refused to allow them
to pass. Subsequently the Clericals made
an angry rush on the cordon guarding
Avenue Gabrlelle, and the soldiers had to
use the butts of their guns to keep back
the crowd.
Another violent incident occurred on the
Champs Elysees, where the crowd began
throwing the small iron chairs on the
sidewalks among the feet of the horses
of the mounted guards. One horse fell,
injuring his rider. A number of prominent
Nationalists, including Deputies Mlllevoy
and Auffray, and several municipal Coun
cillors were conspicuous In the crowd, and
wero much ovated by their followers and
booted by the anti-Clericals.
By 7 o'clock tonight the crowd began
to thin out, and an hour later the Place
de la Concorde and the Champs Elysees
had resumoed their custmary appearance.
A slight shower hastened the dispersal of
the manlfestants. About 100 arrests were
made.
The fact that throughout tho day ve
hicular traffic was not Interrupted shows
how well the police handled the great un
ruly crowd with which -they had to deal.
GERMAN SINGING SOCIETIES.
Same Sonars on the "Wabash as on
the Rhine.
VIENNA, July 27. The sixth triennial
festival of German singing societies
opened at Graz today. The attendance
of members from societies throughout
Austria and Germany exceeded 12,000. J.
P. Frenzel, of Indianapolis, addressed the
gathering, bringing greetings from Ger
man societies in the United States. He
said that though thousands of miles
apart, the same songs were sung on the
banks of the (Mississippi, the Missouri and
the Ohio as on the banks of the Rhine.
Mr. Franzel read verses written for the
cccaslon by Professor Hogen, of St. Louis.
The speech and verses were enthusiastical
ly received.
The festival will last a week, and the
next meeting will be at Frankfort, in 1905.
EFFORTS FOR PEACE.
Colombia and Revolutionary Jnnta
Dealing in Xevr York.
WASHINGTON, July 27. It Is learned
here that renewed efforts are making for
an understanding between the Colombian
Government and the revolutionary jijnta
In New York that will result in a termina
tion of the hostilities which have been In
progress for such a long time In the re
public Former attempts in this direc
tion failed because the government re
garded the demands of the junta, as pre
posterous, and refused to accede to them.
General "Vargas Santos, one of the lead
ers of the revolution, is now In New
YorJt. The scene of hostilities in Colom
bia is said now to be confined to the
Isthmus of Panama, where the govern
ment has about 7000 trained soldiers, and
the revolutionists about 4000 men. They
are all veterans In service, and a battle
between the two armies, It Is said, would
be sure to result In severe loss of men.
DEJW1TTE OX SUGAR DUTIES.
Says Russia Is Justified in Meeting;
America's Advance.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 27. Tho differ
ent organs of the Ministry of Finance pub
lish an Identical article on the note of M.
De Witte, the Minister of Finance, re
garding the Brussels sugar convention.
The article declares that the application
of Increased duties to refined sugar ex
ported from Russia must be regarded as
an infringement of existing treaties, and
that such infringement would serve as a
precedent for a whole series of similar
acts.
Referring to Russia's answer to Ameri
ca's arbitrary Increase of the sugar duty,
the article contends that Russia Is Justi
fied in taking similar action In analogous
cases. Discussing the trust question gen
erally, the article declares that the trusts
have paralyzed all treaties and prevented
trade developments on a sound1 basis.

MAY TRY TO OPERATE
RUMOR THAT LARGE COMPAXY
"WILL START COLLIERY.
Miners Arc Said Still to Re Firm,
but Common Laborers May Be
..Set torWorlc.
WTLKESBARRE. Pa.. July 27. The be
ginning of tho eleventh week of the an
thracite miners' strike finds apparently
no change In the situation, although tho
rumor has been revived that an effort
will be made some day this week upon
tho part of one of the large companies to
start one of their collieries.
The companies have a sufficient num
ber of coal and iron policemen enlisted
now to prevent trouble, should It arise,
and all that would be .necessary to get a
mine In operation would be a sufficient
number of miners and laborers to blast
tho coal and load it on the cars. No
doubt plenty of ordinary laborers could
be secured, but It Is a question whether
a sufficient number of miners could be'
persuaded to go Into the workings. At
strike headquarters the belief Is as strong
as ever that the operations cannot re
sume, and that It Is idle talk to even
suggest such a things. President Mitchell
says that tho situation is about the same
and that the strikers are as firm as ever.
A great deal of telegraphing passed to
day between Wllkesbarro, Indianapolis
and the headquarters of tho United Mine
workers in West Virginia, the naturo of
which Mr. Mitchell would not make pub
lic Three hundred delegates, represent
ing the 10,000 Polish and Lithuanian resi
dents of the Wyoming Valley, met In
convention here today, and after Indors
ing the strike, appointed a committee of
10 to visit New York, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, Buffalo and other large cities, and
solicit aid from the Polish and Lithuanian
people for their countrymen now on strike
in the anthracite region.
President Mitchell has consented to
serve on the board which will arbitrate
tho differences between the Scranton
Electric Railway Company and Its em
ployes. XOW SEEKS HABEAS CORPUS.
Alleged That Strikers "Were Convict
ed on Insufficient Evidence.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 27. At the Mine-
workers' National headquarters it is an
nounced that no time will be lost in push
ing the habeas corpus proceedings for the
releaso of members of the organization
arrested under the edict of Judge Jackson,
of the United States District Court at
Tarkcrsburg, W. Va.
Secretary Wilson today explained an
other point in the miners' case on which
they will base their claim to be set free.
According to Mr. Wilson not one of the
men arrested was proved to have made
any speeches, Inflammatory or otherwise,
after Judge Jackson's restraining order
was Issued.
"The injunction was Issued on June 19."
said Mr. Wilson, "and the meeting com
plained of -was held the next night. Mother
Jones was the only speaker, and none of
the men arrested said a word publicly to
the miners. The only thing proved against
them was that they .applauded the re
marks of Mother Jones. They were ar
rested the moment the meeting was over,
so that they had no chance to speak if
they wanted to do so. I do not see how
man can be committed to jail for such a
trivial offense as this, , and I believe the
habeas corpus proceedings will set them
tree."
No charges will bo filed against Judge
Jackbon. Mr. Wilson said, until the habeas
corpus suits shall have been decided.
Mangled Man on Railroad Trnclc.
PLATTEVILLE, Colo., July 27. The
badly mangled body of an unknown man

HOIST FELL ONFERRY-BOAT
Slnslc Item, of Storm. Dsaase Is
of Storm
50,000.
DETROIT, July 27. A severe wind storm
did much damage here today. The large
Brown-hoist, used $o lift and carry heavy
plates used in shipbuilding,' -lies on the
deck of the Michigan Central car ferry
transport at the Wyandotto shipyard, a
total wrjeck, while the upper works of the
car ferry are for the most part smashed to
kindling wood. The Brown hoist Is an Im
mense -piece of machinery which runs on a
track 40 feet high and about 500 feet long.
Just before the storm broke the hoist was
safely anchored about 400 feet up the track
with two chains. The Michigan Central
car ferry transport lay at the dock di
rectly In front of the Brown hoist track.
When the storm broke the chains snapped.
The Immense hoist ran to the end of the
track and jumped 30 feet to the car ferry.
The damage Is estimated at 130,000. Other
towns within DO miles of Detroit report
much- damage to property, but no lives
lost.
HEAVY STORM IX EUROPE.
Dnmngc by Gale on Ocean, in Britain
nnd on Continent.
LONDON, July 27. The gale which pre
vailed in England Saturday caused great
destruction to crops throughout the United
Kingdom. Incoming steamers report ter
rific weather on the Atlantic The rough
weather continued round the British coast
Sunday evening, and has been general
throughout Europe.
A tornado occurred in the Liege district
of Belgium Saturday. Navigation on the
Liege and Marstricht Canal was stopped
by fallen trees, and the greater portion
of crops were destroyed or hopelessly dam
aged. Enormous injury was done in tho
town of Liege.
Many persons were Injured In Aix-la-Chapello
and Stolberg, Prussia, by fall

Ilrnxos River Falling Fast.
DALLAS, Tex.. July 27. Flood conditions
in Texas are Improving. At Waco the
Brazos River began falling at 11 o'clock
last night, nnd the observation tonight
showed a decline of Ave feet. This was
sufficient to bring the river back within
its banks. If the river continues to fall
as is expected, the repairs to railroads will
be sufficiently progressed to allow trains to
run on time tomorrow.
Toby Johnson, a negro, was drowned
in Waco Creek today. Meager reports
from Big Springs, where the flood is most
serious, say that the water is receding
slowly, although heavy rain fell this morn
ing. Tho weather is clearing In that sec
tion, and tho outlook Is more, hopeful.
Traffic is still at a standstill, however.
EASE IN VICTORIA.
(Continued from First Page.)
onel L. L. Hawkins' mouth water at
least, figuratively. Here are collected
handsomely mounted specimens of all tho
animals that walk upon this part of the
earth, the 'fowls that fly over It, and the
fishes that swim under it " Hardly a
species Is unrepresented, arid the collec
tion is withal so magnificent that it would
be hard to duplicate, even with tho price
of the House of Parliament itself. "We
only lack a sea otter," said tho curator
sadly, to an observer, "an they cost 500
which is more than we 'avo to spare Just
now." The lack of the sea otter, how
ever. Is not noticeable to the casual trav
eler, and it is well worth the trip to -Victoria
just to visit that museum and the
others In tho building.
A Loyal People.
There can be no doubt of the loyalty
of tho residents of Victoria. Pictures of
the King and Queen are seen in every
shop window by hundreds, coats of arms
on enamel Jewelry are sold to tourists,
and go like hot cakes, and reverence for
royalty and the things that pertain to It
Is shown by the legend In tho cover of a
pamphlet advertising the city, which sets
forth the fact that one of the party that
camo over with H. R. H. tho Duke of
York, last Spring, said that if he couldn't
live in London, Victoria should be his
abiding place.
A young American who smokes went
Into a cigar store hero the other day
and Inquired if any American brands of
cigars were on sale there. Tho man bo
hind the counter ran his eye over the
stock, plucked forth a box. and opening
It on tho showcase with a flourish, said
proudly:
"Sir Henry Clay."
"Oh, here," remonstrated tho Ameri
can, "Clay was a countryman of mine;
please don't insult him with that title."
"I don't know who he Is, sir," was tho
reply, "but they're a very good selling
brand of cigars."
The American Infection.
But Victoria Is too near Seattle to es
cape tho American germ, -which flies
across the straits occasionally, and with
commendable foresight has launched its
work of infection on tho younger genera
tion. Two children, playing in the park this
morning, were hiding behind trees and
doing queer things with a broomstick.
They played quietly for a while, when
one of them finally said:
"I think it "has lahsted long enough asf
it Is. Qucntln; H'lll bo Tracy for a time
now."
But when all Is said, the Victorians are
a kindly, happy, contented people. They
enjoy their beautiful surroundings, drive
or ride horseback on their splendid roads,
play golf, cricket, lacrosse, and take an
Interest in prizefighting, as was proven
by the crowd around the bulletin-board
Friday night when the Jeffries-FItzslm-mons
fight bulletins were posted. And
although they glvo their money freely In
change to the traveler, they take It back
again, and against a man who will take
Canadian money at 100 cents on tho dol
lar the voice of calumny cannot fairly bo
lifted. ' J. J. M.
Cuban Crisis Is Over.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 27. General
FUzhugh Lee said tonight:
"I believe that the crisis In Cuban af
fairs is now -over. The Cubans wero
promised an independent government, and
they got it. Now they will have to provo
that they can glvo security to property
and maintain order In the island. If
they do not come up to the mark, the
Island must either become a part of the
United States or a dependency of this
country."

ANOTHER GREAT SYSTEM
MORGAN SAID TO HAVE COMBINED
SOUTHERN RAILROADS.
Atlantic Const- Line to Absorb the
Lonlsville A Nashville, Bringing;
Harmony at Several Points.
BALTIMORE, July 27. It Is Imposible
to obtain an authoritative expression of
opinion on the rumor that negotiations are
pending looking to the absorption by the
Atlantic Coast line of the Ldulsville &
Nashville Railway which Is controlled by
J. P. Morgan & Co. In Unanctal circles
here the general Impression prevails that
the report is well founded.
"I think Mr. Morgan has already prac
tically turned the road over to the Coast
line," said a member of one of the lead
ing banking Arms. "Tho two roads do
not parallel anywhere and have a phys
ical connection Tat Augusta, Ga., through
the Georgia Railroad, which runs from
Atlanta to Augusta and which Is leased
Jointly by them.
"Such a deal would eliminate that hos
tility in Tennessee and Kentucky which
has been aroused by the rumor that the
Louisville & Nashville will be merged
with the Southern Railway. These roads
parallel and are competitors In both
states, and, following the report. Gover
nor McMlllln of Tennessee has threatened
to call a special session of the Legislature
to pass a law that would' prevent a merg
er. It Is thought that when Mr. Morgan
purchased the Louisville & Nashville he
had In view Its transfer to the coast line.
"Morgan & Co. manage the aoutnern
Railway and havo been working in com
plete harmony with the Coast line. The
absorbtlon of the Louisville & Nashville
would give the Coast line control of tho
railroad situation In the South, east of the
Mississippi River. The outstanding stock
of the Louisville & Nashville nmounts to
$60,000,000 and if the plan of Morgan &
Co. to pay $130 a share for It shall be
carried out, $90,000,000 will be required to
complete the deal."
In round numbers the combined mlleago
of the Coast line system and tho Louis
ville & Nashville Is 9400. '

Nothing seemed to give me relief until
I used Ayer's Cherry ectoral. It acted
promptly and cured me completely."
