s.ii'd persons gntheted In Independence
squaie today to sec and hear Wu Tlng
fang, the Chinese mlnlstir. Minister
Wu u.is oi.itor of the day nt the
municipal celebration of Independence
day. and the friendly reception Riven
the distinguished guest must have al
layed all fearw for his safety, despite
the fact that he had received an nti-
onmous letter thieatonlng ldm with
bodily harm. When Minister Wu ap
pealed on the speakers' stand he was
accompanied by two detectives, who
had been assigned as a special body
guard during his stay In this city, nut
fiom all outward appearances the ser
vices of the detectives could easily
have been dispensed with.
After prayer by Bishop Whltnker and
addresses by I'ounclltnen Hendor.son
and Kev. Wallls W. Fisher, Minister
Wu was Introduced by Chairman Ham
mond. When the Chinese diplomat
stepped to the front of the platlorm he
was Riven a rousing leceptlon. and It
was some time before quiet could bu
suHlelcntly restored to penult the dls
tlliRUished speaker to be heard. As ho
proceeded with his speech he was list
ened to with marked attention and
every p.itriolie utterance was loudly
cheered. Pievlous to the uddioses the
Municipal band played the Chinese na
tional air, "Star Spangled Rannoi,"
"Columbia," and other patriotic tilts,
and over Wi school children sang the
"Star Spangled Banner.

Philadelphia, July I. The torrid

government thermometer showed 02
degrees. Shortly after that hour 11
thunderstorm came along and was fol
lowed by several more In the after
noon and quite a heavy one today.
These had the effect of carrying the
temperature down to 7ii, the minimum
for the day, but this evening It rose
slightly. The percentage of humidity
tonight Is high and helped to make
life uncomfortable. Notwithstanding
the Improved conditions there were

Wllkes-Parre, July 4. The average
temperature today was 01. A light
breeze from the north afforded some
relief. There was a general exodus of
people to the mountains and the carry

to accommodate the crowds. The rush
for Harvey's Lake was so great that

London, July 4. Julian Corbett,

It was .i.ild the other day that, after

British Politics.
Ono of the ngreeable surprises of

as tho Liberal party Is powerless to

with the spirit of the Irish people, to
show "practical" sympathy with the
Irish traditions' and to initiate Indus

something practical to bo done toward
Improving the prosperity of the Iilsh

ters that some port on the west coast
of Ireland should bo utilized by tho

Spain appears to be making vigorous

Telluride, Col., .luly 4. No further
bloodshed Isf feared at tho SmugBlor
Unlon mine, where three men were
killed and about ton wounded In a
battle between Milliters and non-union
minors yesterday. Olllelals ot the com
pany, bavins tweed to withdraw all
men from tho mine, except a few
watchmen, and to mako no effort to
resume work until the strike Is amica
bly settled or olllclally declined off,
there seems no probability of further
hostilities. Three men were killed and
at least ten wounded In the llKht yes
terday between 1,"0 armed strikers and
the force of minors and deputies at tho
mines.
The dead are: John Ilarthel, a miner,
one of tho attacking party; Cieorcro
Nicholson, shift boss nt the mine; J.
I.tt.lan, a Mexican, employed as tram
mer In the mine.
Non-union men numberlnf: about 100
were driven over the range Into Ouray
county and warned never to return.
The strike -which culminated yester
day was ordered by the miners' union
on May 1 lat. It followed the refusal
if the mine nnntiRomcnt to guarantee
all miners employed minimum wages of
$:; a day. The company tesumed oper
ations .1 line 17 with a non-union fotce.
In furtherance of the general desire for
an amlcahle and peaceful settlement of
the points at Issue between the com

was held at Telluride, Friday, at which
the positive assurance wm given that
the union should not take action with

who had consented to act as a, com

only awaiting the return ot Manager
Collins to take action tthon the out

Olllelals of the miners' union declare
the inarch on the mine yesterday was
entirely without tho sanction of the or

Henley, July 4. The second day of
the Henley regatta was signalized by
another victory for the Americans,
tho oarsmen of tho University of
Pennsylvania defeating the Thames
Rowing club and thus winning their
second heat. Tho hcauders defeated
tho Relclan crow In tho trial heat to
day and therefore the Pennsylvanlas
will meet tho Lcanders In the final
heat for the grand challenge cup to
morrow. The conditions were even better than
yesterday. A bright, hot sun was
shining and there was no wind. There
was a decided Increase In the attend
ance and American Hags were very
liberally displayed. Soon after U
o'clock tho Lcanders, paddling to the
start for their race with the Belgians,
were loudly applauded along th
course, but their reception was quite
eclipsed by that given to tho Ameri
cans, as, a few minutes later, they
followed, The contrast In tho style of
the two crows, whom everybody ex
pected to see fight it out In the final
heat, was more marked than ever.
There was only five minutes difference
between the two races and no sooner
had Umpire William sent tho I.ean
ders off, than Umpire Putnam's launch
took Its place to start the Americans
and the Thames crew.
The former seemed even more con
fident than yesterday. There was a
capital start and the Pennsylvanlas
had three-fourths of a length lead be
fore the top of the Island was reached.
They rowed eleven strokes In the first
quarter, twenty-two in tho first half,
and forty-one during tho llrst minute.
The Americans went away steadily
and easily from that point and drop
ped their .stroke to thirty-eight. They
did half tho distance In 3.30. Their
opponents did the half In 3.1;!.
Opopsite the Leaudct enclosure the
Pennsylvanlas were three lengths
ahead, and although they again eased
considerably and the otliers spurted,
the Thames men were never able to
make up anything. Passing the grand
stand tho Americans could not re
sist a little spurt and they rowed past
with a dozen strokes at the rato of
forty-one to the minute.
The Americans had a very friendly
reception and a number of their coun
trymen succeeded In giving them a
very respectable college yell.
The band played "Tho Belle ot New
York."
Results of the Heats.
The results of the heats today were
as follows:
Grand challenge cup, third heat. The

Kills 'Ward, the American coach, vho
was In tho umpire's launch, expressed
himself as being thoroughly satisfied
and confident. Ho said:
"I told them they muet not m.tkc that
spurt at the end, but I suppose they
were so excited and pleased that they
could not resist It."
The Lcander-Bclglan race was a hard
one, but not so severe as expected. Tho
I.eanders got away with surprising
rapidity, at the rato of forty-tin eo, and
secured a bare length's lend at the top
ot the Island. Tho Belgians soon struck
a rapid gait and began to come up, but
they could not catch the Leanders. Off
Fa winy Court, which tht-y did In 3,24,
the Lcanders were again clear. Off the
Grosvenor club the Belgians spurted
and nearly got up level. A splendid
race home followed, the Leanders win
ning by a bare length.
A Desperate Race,
Tho Lcanders finished very strong,
and. in the opinion of experts, they
could have made much better time. On
one point all were ngreed, and that
was that tomorrow's meeting between
the Leanders and tho Americans will
bo a desperate race. The Leanders
nave greatly improved. They now pull
well together, nnd today's race will do
them further good. The Pennsylvanl
nns have shown themselves to be In
the pink of condition. There was sonic
criticism yesterday because, after the
finish, the Americans rowed straight to
their bout-house and did not wait, as
Is customary, and rattle their oar In
the row-locks as a compliment to their
opponents. Tho Americans today mado

the hall were representatives ot all
phases of material progress ot the
United States.
The chairman toasted King Edward,
the toast meeting with a warm re
sponse from the audience, who .sang
the British natlonul anthem.
Dr. Joseph Parker, minister ot the
city temple, who proposed the toast to
President MeKlnley, said, In tho course
of his speech:
"Despite the traditional prejudice,
which happily has been weakening dur
ing the past century. It Is now well
tecognlzed that no other nation can
sustain the relation to Great Britain
which the United States now holds;
and. fortuimtely for the world, Great
Britain and the United States now hold
the world's peace In the hollow of their
hands."
Three cheers were then given for
President MeKlnley and these were
thrice repeated, after which an addi
tional three were given for.Old Glory,
at the suggestion ot James M. Brock,

friends and defenders of the struggling
colonies, Chatham, Buiko and Fox,
enunciated principles that bad ever

w 1th her colonies.
Mr. Beck responded to
"The Day We Celebrate,"
the toast,
and after
some Introductory remarks concerning
tho growth ot tho American republic
and Its position in tho family of na
tions, spoke In part as follows:
"The presence of our distinguished
kinsmen tonight reminds us that no
nation has been 1110, e quick or gener
ous to recognize the growing greatness
of America than that at whose hearth
stone wo are privileged to bo. How
could It bo otherwise? The mother
that would not bo proud of such a
child would Indeed be unnatural, and
well may the child be piouil of such
a mother, with her brow regal with
achievements of immortal honor."
