NEW YORK. Aug. 4. James Hazen
Hjde again has come under the spot
light through an escapade In Pekln,
which has made him as much talked of
and written about In the Orient as he
was here at the time of his notd din
ners in this city and in Paris. His latest
bid for notoriety, according to Oriental
press reports Just received In this city,
was in Pekln about June 15. where he
hot at two coolies in the Hotel des
Wagon Uts. while they were engaged in
Cleaning the hotel. "
The Japan Advertiser of July 3. which
was received In this city the other day.
quotes the Chinese Puolic Opinion with
regard to Mr. Hyde's actions while In
Pekln as follows:
"Our contemporary vays that a certain
Mr. Hyde, notorious, we believe, in con
nection with certain life insurance com
pany scandals, was .the. chief .ator. . This
Individual, who Is reputedly a plutocrat,
but apparently not a gentleman, inflicted
his presence upon Pekin. He took up
his quarters at the Hotel des Wagon
Uts and incidentally flashed around our
city In a motor car. It would appear
that this did -not give him sutlicicnt
prominence, for In the hotel he found
cause to hre a couple of revolver shots
at a coupl of. coolies who were carrying
out their duties of cleaning up the
premises during the night.
Ills Aim Was Very Poor.
"His aim fortunately was so poor as
to prove harmless to these individuals,
but the disturbance was the cause of
much annoyance to the other guests in
the hotel. Apparently nothing has been
done to punisii him for his illegal dis
charge of 111,' fir-'arni. Th f'hine.se au
thorities, we believ. mad? Inquiries of
the I-gatlon pnMc regarding tli. matter,
but so far as we can ascertain these
knw nothing of the affair.
'This oops not fpak very highly of
their efficiency. r?eing that the nrttter
wan one of common gossip throughout
the town. The rndesirable and his at
taches have left and we presume that
her the affair terminates. Had he in
dulged his little humor In almost any
other place than the legation quarter of
Pekln, h would, we fancy, have departed
to a prison cell instead of with freedom
to difplay his ungentlemanliiiess else
where." Hyde's Friends Ignorant.
Friends cf Mr. Hyde in this city pro

The esplanade will be lighted by monu

There will be six other public entrances

CAMP EM.MKTT CRAWFORD. Wyo..
Aug. 8. The Utah battery of field artil
lery, under command of Captain Will C.
Webb, who won his first spurs In the
Philippines, and two battalions of Utah
infantry, under command of Majors Kam
merman and Williams, put to rout an
attacking force of two regiments of In
fantry, three of cavalry and three moun
tain batteries, backed up by a force of
signal corps and engineers. The crux
of the problem of the advance of a targe
army was to push through a narrow pass
through the Sherman mountains to pre
pare the way for the passage of a larger
army the next day. Captain Webb's
battery of field artillery was high among
the rocks in a strong position. Within
the range of vision passed almost the en
tire attacking force. For 30 minutes their
advance was watched, and when the
troops came within rangs the sweeping
artillery Are of shrapnel complrtely
ivjlped out the command of the Brown
army before they had a chance to fire
a shot, and b?fore they had sighted the
enemy.
There wre no umpires at the attacking
force at that point In the exercise and
the troops fired upon did not know that
they were ruld out of action. They con
tinued on their way over after the ar
tillery fire had swept them from the
field. Mountain batteries took position
high among the rocks in places where
foot soldiers found difficulty In reaching.
Under eommand of Captain Pullis. Sec
ond Field Artillery, the battery opened
fire across the canyon on the Utah bat
teries, but having been ruled out. their
fire was of no effect, for theoretically
they were all dead.
The utility of signal troops was dem
onstrated during the action and many
officers who have refused to recognise
the signal corps as a useful arm during
conflict, were won over by the signal
company from the Fort Leavenworth
school, under command of Captain Cow
an. The mission of Captain Cowan in the
camp is to demonstrate what signal
troops can accomplish and all officers are
having their eyes op;ned in this regard.

PARIS. Aug. 1. (Special.) Everybody
Is agreed that the Paris telephone service
Is about as bad as could be. Formerly
after 10 or 15 minutes' fruitless ringing an
angry subscriber Insisted on making tele
phonic complaint to the supervisor at
headquarters and had his communication
promptly established.
Now a peremptory request for the su
pervisor meets with an irritating laugh
from the telephone girl, and the sub
scriber I left to nurse his wrath for half
an hour or more as a punishment for be
ing impatient.
A day or two ago the Figaro discovered
that M. Slmyan. Under Secretary of State
for Posts and Telegraphs, had a telephone
at his residence, and It advised all dis
satisfied with the service to ring him up
and complain. The number was 525.S9.
The result of this advice has been ex
traordinary. Hundreds of angry subscrib
ers called up the Under Secretary, ana
the telephone girls, unable to distinguish
between them and his friends, were overwhelmed.
The first dissatisfied subscriber started
to ring up M. Simyan at 7 o'clock In the
morning, and the Under Secretary him
self unsuspectingly answered the call, as
he. had not yet read the Figaro. The calls
continued all day, and It Is estimated that
between that time and 11 o'clock next
night 1:100 calls were registered.
By that time orders had been given to
suspend all calls on that number, and M
Simyan's number was hastily changed
only the Initiated being given the new
one. The invariable reply to. all subscrib
ers asking for 625.59 was "Engaged."
NEW TARIFF IS DEMANDED
Xow Too -Many Loopholes In French
Schedules.
PARIS. Aug: . (Special.) A new tralft
is being agitated for the business world
of France. ' The question hat been made
acute by .tjie non-ratifieation by the
French Senate of the Franco-Canadian
commercial treat- of last September. The
concessions made to Canada are vig
orously opposed by powerful French agri
cultural interests. A reduction was made
on the import duty on agricultural ma
chinery of from 15 francs to 9 francs per
hundred kilogrammes. The importaiion
direct from Canada Is very small; but
about J6.O0O.O0O worth of American ma
chines are imported into France and they
could be given an ostensible Canauian
origin to get the benefit of the reduced
duty.
It is reported here that the Interna
tional Harvester Company, the Teaper
trust, is founding collossal factories In
Canada to secure the benefit of the con
cessions accorded by France. In view
of the "most favored nation" clause,"
which figures in nearly all commercial
treaties, the proposal now most strongly
advocated In France Is to frame an ex
tremely detailed tariff, enabling the gov
ernment to determine very strictly the
products of the country of oriin that, is
to be favored.
The loop-holes in France's protective
tariff of 1K32 are seen to be much too
wide. It is not proposed to make the
new traiff more highly protective, but
to have the protection more closely applied.
FIGHT ON FOOD FRAUDS
White Cross of Switzerland
' ganized to Lead Crusade.
Or-
PARIS, Aug. 8. (Special.) The first
congress of a hew association, the White
Cross, against food frauds will be held in
Geneva In September. It models Itself
on the Red Cross which organizes for re
lief of wounded In military war, and alms
to protect sufferers In the Industrial
struggle for. life. The Swiss Federal
Council Is granting a subvention and 25
states will be represented.
"The White Cross," says Professor Bor
das who is chief of the French delegation,
"will attack successively all the scourges
that afflict humanity: tuberculosis, cancer,
alcoholism ail infectious or para
sitic diseases. We are to begin bv an
extensive war against alimentary fraud.
It is a fraud that affects great numbers
of people and is responsible for much dis
ease. Before stamping It out it is neces
sary to define pure nourishment. We do
not mean chemically pure, but cleanly and
Tit for consumption."
. Progressives Will Block Legislation
Asked by Their ' Opponents in 1
Order to Force Through Con-
gress Their Own Measures.
LINCOLN. Neb.. July 29. From a
source that is reliable comes informa
tion to the effect that 22 of the "pro
gressive" members of the United States
Senate will lead the most vigorous kind
of a revolt against the "conservative"
members of that body at. the next ses
slon( of Congress.
It will be a filibuster in comparison
with which tho La Foilette filibuster
would be counted a tame affair, for it
will 'ast throughout the session or
until the older members of the Senate,
the or.es who have blocked "progres
sive legislation, have removed tne od
stacles and permitted some of the
changes that are demanded by the peo
ple of states represented by the in
surgents. Are Pulling for Brlstow.
Senator La Foilette and Senator Bev
eridge will be at the head of this move
ment. It will have the support of Sen
ator Brown, of Nebraska; Senator
Borah, of Idaho, and others to the al
leged number of 22. The "progres
sives" 'are hoping that JosCph L.
flnstow will defeat Senator Long In
Kansas, in which event they will have
Brlstow with them. They are also
,-ountlng upon the election of Folk of
Missouri, and it is said that Folk
would be willing to lead the Demo
cratic Senators in opposing every wish
of the Senate "ring" until the latter. is
willing to concede the passage of the
desired measures. .....
The fight will he fierce and will start
early. Appropriation bills will be "held
up" and laws personally desired by
members of the upper branch of the
National Legislature will be blocked'
until the "conservatives" come to time.
The official records of the "trust"
Senators will be uncovered by these
younger and fighting members or the
Senate. They will show how some
public records, do not conform to the
demands made by constituents and they
will try to make it so hot for the
members who are said to control the
Senate that they will be glad to come
Into line or at least offer no objec
tion to proposed legislation.
What They Will Demand.
The "progi essivrs" will demand the
repeal of the Aldrich-Vreeland currency
bill; they will demand the assessment
of railroads according to physical
valuation; they will ask the election of
Senators by direct vote of the people,
and they will seek the enactment of
stronger anti-trust legislation. And it
Is possible that they will demand a law
providing for the guaranteeing of bank
deposits, for Senator Brown and other
Western Republican are making no
seciet of the fact that they favor such
a bill and many of them will advo
cate it ir. their speeches during the
campaign now opening.
It is said that the "insurgent Sen
ators believe they can force the House
of Representatives into line on a num
ber of these propositions by blocking
other legislation and holding the
records of certain members up to pub
lic view.

LONDON', Aug. 8. fSpecial. Harold
Abott Titcomb. of New Orleans, has given
a severe setback to the general idea that
Americans are people without any taste

so struck with the portrait called "The

write to the artist and ask if he would

the copy, and in this way they got into
correspondence and then to personal in

TRAP MOTHS BY TON
Authorities in Saxony Successfully
Fight Caterpillar Plague.
ZITTAU, Germany, Aug. 8. The Saxon
authorities have discovered what seems
to be an excellent way to put an end to
the caterpillar plague which is having
such a destructive effect on the local for
ests. They have discovered a method to
catch the brown nun moths that lay the
eggs by which the caterpillars come. They
make use of what they call the electric
light trap. This consists of two large and
powerful reflectors placed over a deep re
ceptacle and powerful exhaust fans. The
whole-has been erected on top of the mu
nicipal electric plant. At nlfilit two rays
of liriht ar? thrown-' from the reflectors
on the wooded mountain sidirs half a mile
distant. The results have been astonish
ing: the moths drawn by the brilliancy
come fluttering In thousands along
the broad rays of light.
When they get within a certain distance
of the reflectors the exhaust fans take
up their work, and, with currents of air,
swirl them down Into the receptacle. On
the first night no less than three tons of
moths were caught. It has been decided
to build another trap on the Rathaus
tower and the tight with the moths will
be continued. The forests of Central Eu
rope have from time to time been rav
aged by moths from Russia, whose larvae
denude tha trees of their foliage. The
splendid pines of the Lausltz Mountains
are this year threatened with extinction.
