LOEB ANNOUNCES FACT
First Statement From President
Abont Voyage Metcalf Free
From Criticism Japan Has
Made 3o Protest.
OYSTER BAT, Aug. 1. Secretary
Loeb said today that there had been
no change in the plans to send the At
lantic battleship fleet to the Pacific
Ocean, and that the necessary prepara
tions for the trip are now being made
by the Navy Oepartment. Upon their
completion and approval by the Pre
ldent. the voyage will be begun when
the President gives the word.
Mr. Loeb made this statement inci
dentally by saying that there was no
foundation for the report that Secre
tary Metcalf had been or would be
asked to resign from the Cabinet be
cause of his announcement that the
fleet would be In San Francisco har
bor In the near future. Mr. Loeb
said there was no reason for criticism
of Mr. Metcalf on account of his an
nouncement. Mr. Loeb's statement
that the fleet will go to the Pacific
is regarded here as significant, as be
ing the first direct announcement to
that effect made at Oyster Bay.
Xo Protest From Japan.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. No protest
has "been received from the Japanese
Government against the plan to send
the Atlantic battleship fleet to the Pa
cific and none is expected. It is pointed
out there that no basis exists for
protest or complaint, as the fleet is to
remain in American waters.
TJSUAL DEFICIT FOR JLLY
But Revenue From AH Sources
Shows Large Increase.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. The com
parative monthly statement of the
Government's receipts and expenditures
Issued today shows that for the month
of July, 1907, the total receipts were
$55,906,465 and the disbursements 166',
S13.345. leaving a deficit for the month
of about $11,000,000. This deficit is
explained by the fact that at the be
ginning of each fiscal year nearly all
the appropriations made by the last
session of Congress become available
and large sums are immediately with
drawn from the treasury. It is a rule,
with hardly an exception, that each
July shows a deficit. A year ago It
was about $163,500,000.
The receipts from customs last
month amounted to $28,836,44!!. which is
nearly $2,700,000 In excess of July, 1906;
Internal revenue $22,840,304, increase
$738,000. Miscellaneous $4,229,712, In
crease 10,000.
The expenditures for July. 1907, ag
gregate almost exactly $1,000,000 more
than for July, 1906, the reductions be
ing balanced by nearly $4,000,000 in
crease account construction of Panama
Canal.

mendations, most of which have here
tofore been published, were approved
by Mr. Newberry, who has ordered
them put Into effect. The Navy De
partment la now convinced that the

tion a "Bareback," which It regards as

tions. SEW CRUISER IX COMMISSION

Join Pacific Squadron.

Middies Put on Torpedo-Boa ts.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. Orders issu
ing from the Navy Department today
show that a number of midshipmen
have been placed on torpedo-boat duty.

showing that the Navy is deficient as
compared with foreign navies In torpedo-boat
work. There are 60 torpedo
boats of various types In our Navy,
yet only 16 of them are In active serv
ice. This has been caused by the
shortage of officers, resulting from the
heavy demands for such officers for
the new battleships going Into com
mission. Troops Start for Philippines.

Government and Determines to
Show Disapproval Hoggatt
Busy Explaining.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 1. (Special.)
Fairbanks greeted Governor Hoggatt, of
Alaska, on the executive's tour through
the district with a Vistlnct coldness that
Governor Hoggatt Immediately tried to
remove by giving out an interview declar
ing his attitude on territorial government
Is misunderstood.
There was no one at the docks to meet
the Governor when he reached Fairbanks,

peared on the streets with severe edi
torials against him. Hoggatt had been
quoted in Dawson as bitterly opposing
territorial government, and the Interview
was telegraphed ahead of him. He had
written to President Roosevelt against
territorial government, but Hoggatt' s
managers sent word Into the Yukon
River country that he would agree at the
November Republican Convention to
name National convention delegates not
to oppose a territorial plank.
When Fairbanks heard of the awson
interview the town organized a move
ment to snub him. Hoggatt spent today
n Fairbanks explaining that he has only
raised the question as to whether Alaska
can afford a change and really desires
home rule.

Who Advocates Unlawful

DULUTH, Minn., Aug. 1. One working
day nan passed since operations began on
the range following the settlement of the
ore dock strike and no serious disorder
has been reported. The Industrial sky
over the range is not cloudless, however,
for the sullen attitude of the followers of
the Western Federation of Miners Indi
cates an attitude of desperation which
wa somewhat intensified by a vltrolic
address delivered last night by Petrlella,"
who advocated the use of guns to main
tain what he said was their right to sell
their labor where they could at the best
advantage. i
The Steel .Corporation officials are car
rying out the wishes of Governor John
son in the manner In which they are re
suming operations. They are opening the
mines one at a time and gradually re
suming work with as many men as they
can get to go to work. All the old men
will be given an opportunity to return to
work without discrimination and with the
guarantee of being protected by the
forces at the Sheriff's command.
Reports received today Indicate that
mining operations were resumed heavily
in both Hibbing and Bveleth.
Petriella's speech delivered at Chisholm,
in four languages. He said the moment
was at hand when the miners should take
the law into their own hands. He or
dered the men to arm themselves and be
prepared to strike to kill. He. said he
did not care how many of them were
killed for the cause, gnd urged the men
to fight to the last. Petrlella said he
had wired the Governor, who replied that
he would make a personal Investigation.

TAKE THEIR BABIES ALONG
Miners Adopt Novel Method of Self
Protection In Minnesota.
DULUTH, Minn., Aug.' 1. Working
men employed at the Fayal Mine to
day carried babies In their arms when
on their way to work. The infants
were kept at the mines all day by the
men as a" source of protection against
any possible violence. It was eppar-ently-their
belief that the strikers or
any one else would not attempt to do
any harm while the children were In
the danger zone. The mothers of the
children met the fathers when the
day's work was done.
Although hundreds of men are go
ing to work daily they cannot be per
suaded that the police protection fur
nished Is adequate to the case and some
of them are very much frightened. The
city is apparently on the verge of the
worst trouble of the strike, If rumors
are to be believed.

Streetcar Service Stopped and Tele

Interrupted Lightning
Striken Often.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. L (Special.)
A big electrical storm struck Seattle tha
evening and for two hours streetcar
transportation was stopped and the city

arresters and ruined a transformer. For
nearly two hours all lights were out.
Reports of lightning striking In the city
were frequent but apparently no damage
in Seattle has been done, except la the
Interruption to streetcar lighting, tele
graph and telephone service. About twe
hours after the first storm passed, a
second prevailed, but it was of less in
tensity. The past three days have brok

NOT ALLOW DENOMINATION
(Continued from Flret Page.)
and did not make fools of themselves or
declare war, and the questions were de
cided by the Supreme Court and no bad
results followed. If all state authorities
are going to usurp functions of the Su
preme Court and judge what Federal act
shall be nullified, no one can tell where
It will end.
"Why should state authorities decide
they shall exercise every power at their
command to prevent auch consummation?
This is an unlawful attempt to oppose
lawful efforts.
"This talk about state authorities re
sisting Federal power by armed force
will sooner or later end in bloodshed,
possibly In the disruption of the Union."
In conclusion, Mr. Jenkins says the Su
preme Court of the United States may err,
H may differ with the views of a great
majority of the people, but however that
may be, the Constitution says Its decision
is nnal, and must be regarded as the su
preme law of the land, and that is what
must govern us.
"Better live under a wrong decision than
amidst anarchv that must prevail in this
country If each state authority Is going
to disregard the Constitution of the Unit
ed States and assert its own power, right
or wrong, in defiance of the National pow
er, thereby weakening and absolutely dis
regarding this great Government, that
has cost so many generations so much to
make and preserve."
