IMMENSE "FLEET -PLAYING
AT WAR
Greatest British Sea Force
Ever AssembJed Begins
' Maneuvers.
EXCELS KAISER'S FORCE
Will Enact Buttle of Invaders With
Home Fleet on North Sea Coast.
Practice for War With
Germany.
LONDON. June 30. The mobilization
of all British warships In home waters
available for Immediate service was
completed today for the annual naval
maneuvers, and Admiral Lord Charles
BeresforJ finds himself In supreme
command of a total of not less than
301 ships, witii an aggregate comple
ment of 6S.0O0 officers and men. With
the exception of the coast guards, all
these men are on the active list of the
Navy.
The newspapers, while they proclaim
that the array of such a force in the
North Sea is in no manner connected
with Germany, do incidentally compare
this, the greatest fleet ever assembled,
with the fleet of 62 vessels with which
Germany recently carried out her North
Sea maneuvers.
Officially, all thought of reproducing
the sea operations that might be ex
pected In the event of difficulties with
Germany, Is repudiated, but from the
general character of the instructions
Issued It appears that Admiral Beres
ford, with the channel fleet and the
first cruiser squadron, based at Aalbek
Bay, at the extreme north of Denmark,
Is to enact the part of the enemy and
essay a descent on the eastern coast of
Great Britain, which Admiral Bridge
man, commander-in-chief of the home
fleet, with its base in the Firth of Forth
has to defend.
DEFEAT MAY COST HEARST
(Continued From First Fuse.)
figure ii the coming campaign. One man,
who Is close to tne Interests that nomi
nated Parker four years ago, makes the
statement that "Hearst is landed all
right."
"No matter what you hear, Hearst has
signed a treaty with Bryan," he said.
"Of course Hearst has announced that
the League Is not for Bryan or Johnson
or Gray, but past experience has demon
strated that It does not always pay to
accept such proclamations at their face
value. Hearst in 1905 said Murphy should
be in stripes, then he joined hands with
him In 1906. Hearst roasted Parsons in
1906 and fused with him in 1907. Hearst,
In 3905 and 1906, editorially praised 'Big
Tom Foley.' In 1907. when Foley ran
for Sheriff, the Hearst papers called him
a crook and a ballot box stuffer.
"In 1906, before the convention met,
Hearst issued a long statement over his
own signature, saying that he was not a
candidate for the nomination for Gov
ernor, and did not intend to enter the
field.
. Gives Editor a Black Eye.
"Do you remember what happened?
The Independence League nominated
Hearst for Governor, and he accepted
with the implied obligation of making
an independent race. Then he worked on
Murphy's fears, captured the Democratic
nomination, and tricked those of his sup
porters who thought he was really in
earnest. The recount case has given the
last black eye to the cause of Hearst.
He realizes that his third ticket would
make a pitiful showing this year. nut.
Bryan do?s not know it.
"Hearst has been dickering with Bryan
for ovor six months. . His first request
was to name the Vice-President, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, Controller
and Secretary of State. This was serious
ly considered by Bryan for a time, but
everybody else objected to it. I under
stand that the latest proposition of Hearst
Is that he be made Ambassador to the Court
of St. James. The honors that have been
showered upon Vhitelaw Reid have
brought to his mind the fact that Reid.
like himself, is editor of a New York
paper. Hearst does not care to become a
Cabinet officer, but he-would enjoy bath
ing in the limelighUof a thron?. He be
lieves lie could introduce diplomatic im
provements that would make Raid's dis
play look like CO cents.
"When Bryan was in New York on one
of his recent visits, he brought this mat
' ter up in conversation with a prominent
local Democrat.
Bryan Asks for Advice.
" 'Do you think it would tend to
harmonize the party. suggested Mr.
Bryan, 'supposing I was elected Presi
dent, if I named Congressman Hearst as
Ambassador to Kngland or France?'
"The map. to whom the Xf braskan
Bpokr, loudly opposed the proposition.
" 'It would make trouble if you sent
him as Minister to Dahomey,' he replied.
'Don't even think of it."
"But my understanding is that Bryan
has thought of it, and agreed to it. I
would not be surprised if the Independ
ence League simply faded away, without
even the formality of a farewell conven
tion." Surface indications are that the league
has been in a bad way for several
months. The leaders are protesting that
no money is in sight, even for the most
necessary of expenses. The tip has gone
out that delegates to the Chicago con
vention wl!l be expected to pay their own
rxpnses. a proposition whkh does not
meet with approval. "Delegates" have
o en elected from a number of states, but
no effort has bcn made to form effectlv.e
organizations
For exa uple New Jersey had "state
ronventifi; the othT day Joseph R.
Buchanon is chairman of the State Cen
Iral Committee, delcgate-at-large to the
Chicago convention, and National Com
mitteeman. Mr. Buelmnon is an ardent
Hearst man. He - is employed on the
ICvening Journal as editor of the labor
column.
One T Dtnvn and Out Club.
Buohanon's associates are mostly mem
rwrs of th? "down and out" political club.
If the league gets on the official ballot,
which is doubtful, the candidates would
naniiy poll Iv,0 votes. For there is
ibsohitely no Hearst sentiment in Jersey.
In New York City the Independence
League has fallen away to almost
nothing. The "party" supports a elub
louse on Grammercy Square, but of kite
Jie average attendance has fallen to be
uv 15 a night. District organizations
lave given up their headquarters, exeept
ng a few t hat meet in the American's
jptown of nee at Fifty-Ninth street.
There are just five assembly districts,
.vhere the leaders really seem to be doing
;o:nethtng. The other leaders are not
sven resting on their oars, in fact they
seem to have lost their oars.
The Brooklyn "organisation." what
there is left of it, is busily engaged in
factional warfare. It polled 70,000 votes
In 1905, and dropped to 30,000 in 1907. A
conservative estimate of its strength to
day is 5000, and you cannot count on all
of that. Upstate the "leaders' in the ,
various counties have drifted back to the
old parties. At a conference held in this
city recently, only five counties above the
Bronx were representee, and three of the
delegates are correspondents for th
Hearst papers.
In Massachusetts the league is in good
shape, but everywhere else it is a paper
party. It would take a good deal of
money to put the organization in shape
to make any kind of a fight, and the cash
has not been seen or heard of.
The lack of energy on the part of the
league leaders gives color to the theory
that there will be no third ticket this
year. The time is short, yet everybody Is
marking time, waiting for Hearst's
orders.
There are two courses open to the
League. One is to hold their "National
Convention" and select a platform. Then
adopt a resolution reciting that the "time
is not ripe" for a third ticket this year,
and that the Democratic candidates seem
nearer to the hearts, of the people than
Taft. Whereupon the delegates can in
dorse Bryan, go home, do nothing and
wait for their reward.
The second proposition is much more
simple. It simply provides that William
Randolph Hearst shall remain abroad
until Fall. The natural result would be
that delegates woul'd not go to Chicago,
no convention would be held and the
HEARST LOSES RECOUNT CASE.
NEW YORK, June 30. George B. .
McCIellan was declared to have been
duly elected Mayor of New York over
William R. Hearst In 19US. by Justice
Lambert today. By the Justice's or
ders the jury returned a verdict to
that effect. The recount left Mtf
ClfJlan with a plurality of nearly
30W and counsel for Attorney -General ,
Jackson, who brought quo warmnto
proceedings against the Mayor, was
unable to prove his contention that the
ballot boxes were stuffed.
C. J. Shearn, counsel for the con
testant, asserted that the ballot
boxes were stuffed. Today Mr. Shearn
offered evidence In an effort to show
that Mr. Hearst was defrauded of 6053 i
vote. He then rested his case.
Counsel for Mayor McCIellan offered
in evidence the official returns of the
election inspectors and the poll books
and tally sheets from the County
Clerk's office.
In. his address to the Jury, Justice
Lambert said that no fraud had been
proved in the case and if he should
permit the disfranchisement of citi
zens on euch slight evidence, this
country would last but a very short
time.
entire incident would speedily be forgot
ten. There Is a popular song which has a
great vogue in New York at present. It
is called "I am afraid to go home in
the dark." The National song of the
Independence League is a parody on it.
The title is, "I'm afraid to go to Chicago
without Hearst," and they are all right.
If Hearst stays in Europe there will be
no League convention. Should he come
home now he will be sued by McCIellan
probably. And a third ticket means
nothing but a heavy expense and another
crushing defeat.
Still, you never can tell what the In
dependence League will do. It is not
affected by precedents or rules of or
der, and at the last moment Hearst may
decide to plunge, single-handed, into
the political arena, armed only with Bris
bane editorials.
But if he decide to drop the whole mat
ter, there will probably be nothing more
serious than a few bleats of protest.
For the Leaguers are well trained those
that arei still in the party. But their
numbers are dwindling every day.
How wouid you like to see William Ran
dolph Hearst Ambassador to the Court
of St. James?
But wouldn't it be a good joke .on King
Edward?
DISCOURAGE BOGUS COXTKSTS
McCIellan Crou Over Hearst, but
Complains of Expense.
NEW YORK, June 30. Mayor Mc
CIellan issued a statement tonight in
which after denning his attitude in re
gard to the recount, he states that he
has been forced to pay out 540,000 to
defend his title, not including -counsel
fees, which. are still unpaid.
The Mayor directs attention to the fact
that "the result of this enormous ex
pense and this protracted litigation has
been to Increase my total vote and
diminish my official pluralty by about 500
disputed ballots."
Mr. McCIellan says that he has no
regrets as to the course he pursued and
that he feels that the result will dis
courage the bringing of election contests
of this sort in the future. He says that,
had he suspected that his election was
the result of fraud, he would have acted
differently.
JAPANESE AFTER StALS
POACHEKS MAKING WAY TO

Revenue Officers Suspicious of Nu
merous Craft and More Con
flicts Are Expected.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 30. Floating
Ice in the Bering Sea is unusually heavy
this Summer and a distinct menace to
shipping, reports Captain Hagen of the
steamer Grace Dollar, which returned to
this port today after a cruise of 46 days
to Dutch Harbor. .The floes were so
thick oft St. George's Island that the
Grace Dollar was forced to He off that
port several days before she could effect
a landing.
Revenue officers on duty off the islands
report that several Japanese sealers are
already on the ground and over 30 more
are making their way up the Coast. The
illegal practices of 'these ships last sea
son resulted in a clash between the Unit
ed States officials and the illicit traders,
with tlie result that six Japanese were
killed after landing contrary to Govern
ment regulations.
The large number of Japanese craft
now on their way to the ground? is
viewed with suspicion by the revenue
officers, who expect more trouble before
the Summer Is over. To protect United
States Interests four cutters are now in
Northern waters.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 30. Colonel W.
C Greene, the copper king of Cananea,
Mexico, accompanied by his daughter and
a party of friends, will sail for the Orient
on the Mongolia today. The party Is mak
ing a tour of the world.
"The recent bandit outbreak on the
Mexican border." said Colonel Greene,
'was at Biseca, a little town of about 300
people in the Chaparral Brush country,
isolated and six miles down the river
from Del Rio. on the American side of
the Rio Grande. The place has been for
years a rendezvous for smugglers, ban
dits! thieves and outlaws, but most of the
trouble has been started from the Amer
ican side, from the headquarters of the
junta at San Antonio and Los Angeles.
This junta issues a small paper and ap-.
peals to the malcontents in Mexico who
are opposed to the Diaz rule.
BISHOP POTTER IS
OH HIS DEATH BED
Rallies After Day of Waning
Strength, but Physicians
Have Small Hope.
HEAT CAUSES RELAPSE
Fattent'3 Illness Dates From May 1
and Is From Complication of
Diseases Xear Relatives
Called to His Side.
COOPERSTOWN, X. Y., June 30.
After a day in which the patient vis
ibly lost strength and the end seemed
near. Bishop Henry Codman Potter, of
the New York Protestant Episcopal
diocese, was tonight reported by his
physicians to be resting somewhat
more comfortably, with symptoms
rather more favorable than any time in
the last several hours. The condition
of the eminent patient is still critical,
however) and no great hopes are built
upon the strength which was noted
early tonight.
More than once during teh day hope
was almost abandoned, but as the cool
of evening came on the patient seemed
somewhat refreshed, and reports from
the sick-room were more favorable.
The prelate's relatives have been
summoned to his bedside. His son,
William H. Potter, arrived last night,
and Mrs. Potter has been with the
Bishop almost constantly since the
alarming symptoms developed. Three
members of the Bishop's family are In
Cooperstown.
The patient's Illness dates from May
1, when he was attacked by a com
plication of stomach and liver trouble,
but it was not until early In June that
his condition became serious. On June
10 he was taken to Cooperstown in
the hope that a change of air would
benefit him. A marked turn for the
better resulted almost immediately,
but the oppressive heat of the last
week counteracted this, and' yesterday
there was a relapse.

DECISION UNDER RATE LAW
Livestock Terminal Rate Unreason
ably Reduced When Other Roads
Should Bear Reduction Vital
Point Under Hepburn Law.
ST. PAUL, June 30. Judges Sanburn,
Hook and Adams, in the United States
Court today, rendered an interlocutory
decree whereby they temporarily sus
pend and enjoin the enforcement of the
order of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission which reduced the charge of
certain railroads for the transfer of
livestock from their terminals in Chi
cago to the Union Stock Yards from 2
to 1 per car. Judge Adams delivered
the opinion of the court. The court
held:
The terminal charge for the1 transportation
of these cars from the terminals of the rail
roads to the stockyards over the tracks of
the Union Stockyards Company was required
by the acta of Congress to be separately
scheduled by the railroad companies and they
complied with those acts and scheduled this
charge separately.
Error of Law Committed.
This terminal charge of $2 per car for
transferring the car over the tracks of the
Union Stockyards Company to the stockyards
and returning the same to complainants'
roade was a reasonable charge. A reduction
of it to $1 per car made It unreasonably, low.
The Interstate Commerce Commission made
this charge unreasonably low because the
rates of the railroad companies on their own
roads and their through rates, composed of
the rates on their own road and the terminal
charge of $2, were. In their opinion, un
reasonably higher. This was an error of
law. Under the act of Congress, which re
quires segregation, the question- of the jus
tice and reasonableness of each segregated
rate must be determined by itself.
Under the acts of Conn-ess the . Federal
courts have jurisdiction to set aside or sus
pend an order of the Interstate Commerce
Commirsion, which results from misconcep
tion and misapplication o the - law to' con
ceded or undisputed facts. It Is not Indis
pensable to the correction by the Federal
Court of an error of law Into which the Com
mission has fallen, where Hy a specific rate is
made unreasonably low, that the aggressive

unreasonably low rate will make its entire
business unprofitable. It la thought that the
reduced rate is unjust and unreasonable.
The order of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, whereby the charge for the transfer
of livestock from the terminals of the rail
road companies In Chicago over the tracks
of the Union Stockyards Company to the
stockyards from $2 per car to Jtl per car
must be suspended and its enforcement en
joined until the final decision of the court or
tne iurther order of the court.
The action was brought in the
United States District Court here by
Receivers Smith and Stickney, of the
Chicago Great Western and the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul the Chica

companies were .parties to the suit.
Messrs. Smith and Stickney reside here

plainants resides.
Immediately after the action was be

case and requiring at least three cir

case was argued May 28 last and some

argument or were present.

work of the jury, which has been in ses

It is alleged that in August, 1906, Miller

KIDNAP YOUNG GIRL
POSSE PURSUES AXD CAPTURES
CALIFORNIA OUTLAWS.
Crime of Two Colinga Bad Men One
of Most Daring in History of
County Ransom Was Object.
FRESNO, June 30. After a chase
lasting: more than 14 hours, and par
ticipated in by scores of armed citi
zens, two outlaws who kidnaped Miss
Edna Domengine and carried her away
from her home near Colinga late last
night, were overtaken Jn Warthan
Canyon, live miles from" the scene of
their crime at 4 oclock this afternoon
and captured after a brief resistance.
The girl was found unharmed and was
speedily restored to the arms of her
father, who was with the posse. The
kidnapers, Cleve ' Rogers and Tony
Loveail, both of unsavory, reputation in
the county, were bound hand and foot
and turned over to Sheriff Chittenden,
who started for this city in an auto
mobile, .bringing: the prisoners with
him.
Half a dozen posses were in the field.
One, headed by Dr. Seaburry. made the
capture, overtaking the outlaws on a
steep mountain trail, where their
weary horses could no longer keep up
the flight. When hailed by the posse
and ordered to surrender, Rogers, who
had betn carrying the girl on his
horse, dismounted and, throwing her
across his saddle, opened fire on his
pursuers, using the girl as a shield
for himself and Loveail.
Posse Feared to Shoot.
Dr. Seaburry's party did not dare
to shoot for fear of wounding the girl,
and therefore sought cover while a
brief parley was held with the kid
napers. The latter were soon per
suaded that the entire country was up
in arms and agreed to surrender.
The kidnaping was one of the boldest
crimes In the history of the county. The
father of .the .young girl. Adolph Domen
gine. is one of the wealthiest ranchers in
the neighborhood of Coalinga, and the
purpose of the kirdnapers was to hold
Miss Domengine for ransom. . The capture
of the girl was effected by a ruse, the
kidnapers setting Domenglne's barn on
fire in order to accomplish their purpose.
Kidnapers Wear Masks.
The glare of the flames awoke Domen
gine and he aroused his wife and daugh
ter. As they rushed out of the house, the
two kidnapers. , botli wearing masks,
stepped from behind the house and, level
ing their guns at the head of the rancher,
ordered him to throw up his hands. They
told him that they had come for his j
daughter and intended to take her into
