mt Hits British Rule in Egypt. Says If Engand Is In Egypt by Right She Should Stay, If Not She Should Get Out. London, June 1.—The freedom of the city of London was presented to Theo- dore Roosevelt, and he accepted the honor with a literalness that led him into a frankness of speech that creat ed a sensation in old Guildhall The former president gave the moth- erland some bold advice as to her duty toward her most troublesome de- pendency in Africa. It was, Mr. Roosevelt said, either right or not right for Great Britain to be in Egypt and establish order there. If it was not right she should get out. He eulogized British rule in Uganda and the Sudan. He also declared that Great Britain had given Egypt the best government that country has had in 2000 years, but in certain vital points it had erred. Timidity and sen- timentality, he said, might cause more harm than violence and injustice. “Sentimentality,” he asserted, “is the most broken reed upon which righteousness can lean.” Mr. Roosevelt denounced the Na- tionalist party of Egypt as neither de- girous nor capable of guaranteeing primary justice. It was trying to bring murderous chaos upon the land. Some nation, said the former presi. dent, must govern Egypt. He hoped and believed that the English would decide that the duty was theirs. As a whole the speech was the most forcible expression on foreign topics the distinguished visitor has made dur- ing his European tour. He dealt principally with the British policy in Egypt, which is today one of the most discussed of Great Britain's colonial questions. His outspoken views sent a thrill through the one thousand auditors which is likely to be felt outside the walls of the ancient council hall. Mr. Roosevelt was driven in state from Ambassador Reid's home to the Guildhall, but the weather was not propitious and comparatively few per- sons witnessed the procession. Rain fell throughout the forenoon, keeping most people indoors and only a few hundred persons were gathered in the vicinity of Dorchester house to witness the departure, or in King street when Mr. Roosevelt arrived at the hall. He occupied the lord mayor's coach, and this was followed by the coaches of the sheriffs, who wore their uni forms of office. The guests of the city government at Guildhall included many American and English business men besides offi- cials of the city. The latter were in uniform and had seats on the platform to which Mr. Roosevelt was escorted. The parchment conveying the free- dom of the city was contained in a beautiful gold casket. The presenta- tion was made by Sir Joseph Cook- field Dimsdale, city chamberlain, who, extending his hand to the city’s guest, spoke briefly. Sir Joseph dwelt par- ticularly upon Great Britain's friend- ship toward the United States. Following the exercises, Sir John Knill, lord mayor of London, enter- tained Mr. Roosevelt at a private luncheon, at which many prominent personages were present. Ruins Crops and Smothers Calf to Death In Field. Mount Vernon, N. Y., June 2.—A ter- rific hailstorm swept over Pleasant- ville. It aiso struck Patterson, many miles north of Pleasantville, and did great damage. At Pleasantville the hail was as large as marbles and a southwest gale caused the stones to drift like snow, so that in places they lay over a foot deep. The stones fell for forty-five minutes, pelted cows in the pastures and they ran mooing to the shelter of the woodland. At Pat- terson a new-born calf was buried be- neath a heap of hailstones #nd was smothered to death before the farmer could rescue the animal. All the crops around Pleasantville were practically ruined, while the fruit trees were en- tirely stripped. tes Shot by Mine Pickets. Wilkes-Barre, #a., June 2.—Pickets, supposed to be strikers on guard around the Ewen colliery of the Penn- gylvania Coal company, near here, shot and fatally wounded William Zetto, of Port Griffith, a watchman at the colliery. Zetto tried to sneak past the line of pickets and get to his home, but he was stopped by six of them, he said, and when they- saw he had been working he was shot at three times. Walks 60 Miles to Parade With G. A. R. Wilkes-Barre, Pa., june 2.—William H. Moser, a ninety-six-yvear-old veteran of the Civil War, who walked thirty miles from his home in Pine town: ship, Columbia county, to Danville to participate in the G. A. R. parade on Memorial Day. walked back to his home, and doesn’t seem in the least upset by his long tramp despite his great age. Baby Swallowed Safety Pin. Chicago, June 1.—Dorothea Clark, six months old, of 2056 Howe street, is dead at the German hospital, fol lowing an operation which was per- formed in an effort to remove an open safety pin which the infant swallowed last Saturday. The pin lodged in the baby's stomach tube. New Surveyor of Customs. Washington, June 2. — Nelson H. Henry, of New York, was confirmed by the senate as surveyor of customs in the district of New York. He succeeds General James 8. Clarkson. The office pays $8000 a year. Bm ae sm wr General Lara's Soldiers Driven From | FLIES FROM ALBANY TO NDW YORK pey sprang from an item in the sun- the East Coast of Nicaragua—United States Marines at Scene. Washington, June 2.—The dispatch received at the state department from Captain Gilmer, commanding the Pa- ducah, at Bluefields, is the only infor mation received by the government of the recemt engagement there. This dispatch, which was dated Wednesday, stated that General Lara had been de- feated by the Estrada forces and was in full retreat with the remnant of his army numbering about 300 men. All their efforts met with failure, and General Estrada's forces succeed- ed in killing several hundred of Gen- eral Lara's soldiers, besides captur- ing over 200 of the government troops. It was reported by deserters from General Lara's forces who came into Blueficlds and surrendered to the in- surgents, and also by the soldiers cap- tured by the Estrada forces, that the government's soldiers were in a starv- ing condition. With the exception of these 300 men, the only forces that Madriz has on the east coast, as understood here, is a detachment on Bluefields bluff, about six miles east of Bluefields City, and a force estimated at not exceeding 1000 men facing General Mena, the Estrada commander, at Rama. It is pointed out that General Estrada. with his victorious army could, without hin- drance, proceed to Rama. and so join- ing forces with General Mena, readily disperse the Madriz army in front of that city. The only feasible means of commu- nication between Bluefields and Rama is by way of the Escondido river, anc it is understood that the banana ves- sels on the river are available for the transportation of the Estrada army to that poini. It is also conjectured that General Lara's course of retreat will probably be down the coast to Monkey Point, where he and his men Establishes New Record For Sustained Speed, at Times Making More Than | Sixty Miles an Hour. i Glenn H. Curtiss speeded down the , air lanes from Albany to New York, doing 137 miles ip 152 minutes, better ' than any limited ou the New York Central ever made. and limiteds do not loaf, i He not only won the $10,000 prize offered by the New York World, but | he made an international record for, sustained speed. There were times | when his little biplane, which is only | half as big as Paulhan's famous flyer, split the air at more than a sixty-mile | an-hour clip, and his average speeo was 54.8 miles an hour. ' The winds were good to Curtiss, and a finer day for bearding space and | time couldn't have been picked from ' the calendar. But once the mischiev ous air enrrents of the Highlands al ! most got him. Airs, warmed by an. eager sun, ran twisty ways up the: mountain sides.

Every whistle with: steam in iis throat shrieked and bark- ed and rumbled. Down at the Battery, | where folks, as elsewhere in the city, ! had been fooled by the flash that Cur-' tiss had finished his flight at Spuyten might avoid capture by boarding the Venus, but in any event it is believed | here that the evacuation of the east’ coast is the only olternative open to! Madriz to avoid the destruction of his | armies, Captain Gilmer has advised the navy department that the Dubuque, which landed a force of marines at Blue- fields from Colon. has returned to Colon for coal and provisions. The department has directed that the Vicksburg proceed to Corinto on the west coast of Nicaragua, and there re- lieve the Princeton, which has been ordered to Bremerton, Puget Sound. New Federation Born on Eighth Anni. versary of Ending of Boer War. Pretoria, Union of South Africa, June 2.—The Union of South Africa was born with the reading of the royal 4 proclamation of the single dominion constituted by the legislative union of the British colonies of Cape Col- ony, Orange River Colony, Natal and the Transvaal. The reading was at the assembly house here, where just eight years ago the Boer leaders signed the British terms of peace. Viscount Gladstone was sworn in as governor general of the Union, Gen- eral Louis Botha as premier and the other members of the new ministry. Each of the four colonies becomes a province, and each province will have its own council and send members to the Union parliament, which will con- sist of a senate and house of assembly. Cape Town will be the seat of the legislature, and Pretoria the seat of the executive government. Harmless Missile Caused Commotion at Gates of Palace In Berlin. Berlin, June 2.—There was a com- motion among the royal party return- ing from the annual joint review of the Berlin and Potsdam garrisons at Tempelhof fleld, when+a man who had followed at a distance hurled a missile at Crown Prince Frederick William. The object missed its mark and fell harmlessly at the feet of a policeman. Upon investigation is was found to be an ordinary tin can such as is used for the preservation of fruit and vege- tables, and was filled with uncooked beans. The party was about to enter the palace when the incident occurred, and for a moment it was believed that a bomb had been thrown. The police seized the assailant. who proved to be § Russian named Abra- ham Eierweiss, a resident of this city. it is thought that he is not responsi- ble for his actions. Pottstown Girl Becomes First June Bride In Midnight Marriage. Pottstown, Pa., June 2.—That she might win the gas range offered by a gas company to the first June bride, Miss B. Anne Engle and Harry Wit- myer, both of Pottstown, were mar ried at two minutes after 12 o'clock Wednesday. The ceremony was per formed by 'Squire Elias H. Gilbert, whom they routed out of bed to have the nuptial knot tied. It was 'Squire Gilbert's first wed- ding. He was until recently the rep- resentative of the Fourth legislative district of Montgomery county, and resigned to assume the duties of jus- tice of the peace, his term having nearly expired. Lightning Hits Harriman Barn. Middletown, N. Y., June 2.—Light- ning struck the barn on the Harriman estate at Arden, killing Roland Harri man’s pet saddle horse and severely shocking fifty other thoroughbreds. The fear crazed horses were taken out and the flames extinguished before heavy damage had been done. | Dies of Heat. Reno, Nev. June 2.—Professor H O.

It is not on record that the army was disappointed. Few men have showed less elation than Curtiss did when he stepped out of the biplane and shook hands with Major Hoff and Brigadier General Walter Howe, commanding the depart- metn of the east. He smiled faintly, said he was glad he had finished the job and then turned to watch a de- tachment of soldiers roll the machine into the aerodrome. Firebug's New Scheme. Charged with having set fire to his store by means of a chemical com- pound, the nature of which has caused a sensation in police and fire circles, Eugene Frank, twenty-three years of age, was committed to the county jail at Paterson, N. J.. by Recorder Carroll without bail. The latest freak of the prosphorouslike com pound with which the contents of the store at 890 Main street were smeared has sent Fireman Martin J. O'Rourke to St. Joseph's hospital. O'Rourke was placed on guard at the store and when he picked up some of the compound it ignited in his hands. The hand was severely burned and O'Rourke may lost two of his fingers. The police re- gard the compound as the most dan- gerous yet devised for the purpose of arson, as the application of water only serves to make it more inflammable. Taft Resents Criticism. President Taft sent to Chairman Tawney, of the house committee on appropriations, a letter expressing deep resentment at the criticism pass ed by Democrats in the house debate upon the traveling expenses of the president. The president's letter follows: “Washington, D. C., May 27, 1910. “My Dear Mr. Tawney—I am deeply grieved over the phase which the dis- cussion of the appropriation for the traveling expenses of the president took. I think it is a legitimate argu- ment in favor of such an appropriation that congressmen and many others press the acceptance of invitations to visit their sections and districts, be- cause the urgency of such requests in- dicates the opinion on the part of the people that ome of the duties of the president is to visit the people in their homes. “But the intimation or suggestion that the acceptance by congressmen of the president's invitation to travel on the train with him in their respec tive districts or states was a reason why they should not vote their free opinion on the question of such an ap- propriation is to me a most painful one. In traveling upon the train they were not receiving my hospitality— they were only making a little more elaborate the cordial welcome which they as representatives of their dis- tricts wished to give. “The feature of the discussion which was especially distressing to me was a suggested reflection on southern hospitality. The iutimation that some- where in the south board was charged has no foundation in fact, and I never heard it intimated until i saw it in this morning's papers. “In all my experience, and I have enjoyed the hospitality of many sec- tions and countries of the world, I never had a more cordial, generous, open and lavish welcome than I had in the southern states during my trip, and the slightest hint that puts me in the attitude of a critic of that hospi tality gives me great pain. “Very sincerely yours, “WILLIAM H.
