The audience which U was believed that ex-President Rooss velt would have with the Pope on Tues day next will not take place, owing to conditions which the Vatican has im posed, and which Mr. Roosevelt refused to accept.

Before an arrangement could be reached relative to an audience with the Pope, several telegrams were passed and the negotiations were ended by Mr. Roosevelt's refusing In any way to be limited as to his conduct. An audience with the Pope under the circumstances is now. Impossible. A a matter of fact Mr. Roosevelt, while declining to accept any condi tion In connection with his audience with the Pope, had neither directly nor Indirectly, before, during or after the negotiations, made or considered any engagements in Rome except those of an official character, and he actually entered Rome tonight with only two definite engagements. the audience with the King and the dinner to be given in his honor by the municipality. Pope's Invitation Limited. The history of the negotiations is about as follows: While at Cairo Mr. Roosevelt re ceived the following telegram from Ambassador Leishman dated March 23: "Monsignor Kennedy, rector of the American Catholic College, in reply to an inquiry which I caused to be made, requests the following communication be transmitted . to you; "The Holy Father will be delighted to grant an audience to Mr. Roosevelt on April S and hopes that nothing will arise to prevent It, such as the much regretted Incident which made the reception of Mr. Fairbanks impossible.'

With the basket swaying wildly and half of its ropes cut, the balloon soared to a great altitude and disappeared in the clouds at a terrific speed. Thousands of onlookers, including a detachment of soldiers which had as sisted in the ascent, ran along the roads, expecting the basket to break away. The balloon, however, was not seen again until it reached Swlnemunde, 36 miles northwest of Stettin, over which it passed at a height of 6000 feet in the di rection of the sea. Tugs followed in its track and one of them," which had outdistanced the others, was almost directly under it when suddenly the balloon fell into the sea. The tug steamed to the spot quickly but the -work of rescue was difficult. Already Del Brueck and Benduhn- had disappeared, but Sommel hardt and Hein were clinging to the ropes and they were -dragged aboard the vessel.

WASHINGTON, April 3. The Taft Administration is to defend itself ag gressively before the people of the United States. Convinced that the public mind has been impressed by attacks upon the Administration In many parts of the country and that criticism cannot be permitted - to pass unanswered without injury to Republican prestige, the party leaders have decided to Vcarry the war into the enemy's country."

Mr. Taft will speak In "this city on the subject . of organization and he will be supported by other powerful orators of the Republican party.

Other speakers on the platform with Mr. Taft will be Senator Lodge, Repre sentative McKinley, of Illinois, chair man of the Republican Congressional committee; Representative Duncan E. McKinley, of California, and John .Hays. Hammond. Nothing has created so much in terest among tiie Republican leaders in Washington since the inauguration of Mr. Taft as the plans now formulat ing to sustain , the Administration. Some facts are to be 'brought out about the operation " of the Payne Aldrich tariff bill and the enemies of that legislation will be called upon to answer the friends of the Administra tion with some concrete evidence, if this subject is to continue as an issue within the party. The party, - it is said, expects con fidently to close the session of Con gress with -Interstate commerce, state hood, postal savings, anti-injunctions and conservation legislation to its credit. In addition. It is hoped that a statement may be issued showing a great saving has been made Govern mental expenditures. Little Is being said by the party leaders about the issue of "Cannonism" beyond the statement that this ques tion will take care of Itself at the' right time. The only explanation vouchsafed for this comment is that Speaker Cannon is expected to resign the Speakership at the close of the present session of Congress.

Estimate States 10,000 Persons Emigrated Into United States During- Last Year. OTTAWA, Ont.. April 3. (Special.) There is much rejoicing In the columns of the C&nadian press over the continued and very extensive American invasion of the Canadian Northwest. But the fact seems- to be lost sighc of that while there is so large an incoming of Americana into Canada, there is also a considerable outflow of Canadians to the United States. This Canadian movement toward the United States Is particularly noticeable in the province of Quebec. On every day of last year, as an average, that prov ince lost 62 of- Its inhabitants by emigra tion, the majority of whom left for homes in the United States. Although the year 1109 was" a progres sive year for Canada generally, never theless 10.0K3 persons left Quebec prov ince alone to go to the United States. Causes leading to this exodus are gen erally stated to be lack of employment, lack of practical methods of agriculture, debts from luxury and ecisy credit at dealers.

MAN AND WIFE EJECTED Score, Deciding to Try Court Order for Suburb, Are Shunted, and Trailer Finishes Run Town to Continue Fight. ; Refusing to pay more than a five cent fare from Linnton to the Portland terminus of the United Railways, 20 residents of Linnton, testing the recent ruling of Judge Morrow, yesterday aft ernoon defied the company to make them pay ten cents for the trip. Judge Morrow issued a writ of mandamus Saturday afternoon ordering the com pany to carry passengers from and to Linnton for fare not exceeding five cents each way. As ta result of the company's ignor ing this writ, affidavits will be filed in Court this morning asking that L. B. Wickersham, general manager of the company, show cause why he should not be punished for contempt. Al though It is said many were forced to pay ten cents after the writ or mandamus was issued, only one affi davit will be presented. One Affidavit Filed. John Newton, whose affidavit will be used, and his wife left Portland for Linnton on the last car of the United Railways last Saturday night. Newton, believing that the order of the court was in effect, refused to pay mora than five cents. The conductor put Newton and his wife off the car at Whitwood Court, a station o;er a mile from Linnton." TJiey were compelled to walk the remainder of the way. This case will be the basis of the contempt proceedings today. The people of Linnton were up in arms yesterday, and, acting for the whole, 20 residents boarded a United Railways train In the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with the avowed intention of paying but five cents each for the ride to town. They told the conductor when they boarded the car that they would not pay more than that amount. He answered that he had orders to charge the regular rate of 10 cents each way. Testers Are Sidetracked. He accepted the five cent fare from, those who refused to pay more, threat ening, however, according to the story told by the men, that he would have them put off the car. No attempt was made to do this at the time. When the train, consisting of two cars, reach ed the company barns, a short dis tance from Portland, strategy was em ployed .to prevent the Linnton men, from reaching town.. Quietly notifying those who had sub mitted to the 10-cent charge to change their seats to the other car, the rail way employes shunted the car contain ing the Linntonites onto a sidetrack. The delegation was in the foremost car, but the trailer was also equipped with power, so no difficulty was encormtered In carrying the 10-cent passengers to the city. The Linntonites were not aware of the fact that they had been left behind until they saw the rear car, containing those who had not insisted on a 5-cent charge, gather momentum and speed on its way to the city. Try Again, Is Advice. According to the members of the party, this backset did not in any way dampen their determination to reach Portland on the 5 cents which they had paid. They telephoned R. C. Nelson and George F. Martin, the attorneys who are representing them, and were told to board the next car for town and refuse to pay for the remainder of the trip. When the car following arrived at the barns, an hour later, this action was taken. According to the statement of the Linntonites, the company had seven or eight men stationed there to prevent them from boarding the 'car. No trouble was met, however, when the men climbed aboard. Although the con ductor insisted that he would be com pelled to put them off the train unless they paid their fare, they were stead fast in their declaration that they would not do so. Then, they assert, the conductor offered to carry them as far as Twenty-fourth and Nicolai street", where they would have to leave the car or be ejected forcibly. Force Not Tried. When "this street was reached the conductor stopped the train, but none of the men left his seat, and no at tempt .was made to force the passengers out. They were allowed to finish the journey without paying any additional charge. The Linnton delegation was Jubilant over the test, asserting that never again would they pay more than 6 cents for the trip. They were satis fied that they had won a complete vic tory, which, if finally confirmed by the courts, would be of lasting dura tion. Immediately after the granting of the Concluded on Pag-e 14.,v i
