New York Ccunty Chairman Refused to Say Anything Politically Except to State That Roosevelt and Taft Have Agreed on New York Situ ation Opinion Growing In Beverly That the Ex President Is Not In Sympathy With the Administration. Oyster Day, Aug. 16. It would hnve reouired neither the eyes nor the wis dom of. a particularly shrewd politi cian to have seen at a glance that very vital politics were being discuss ed at Sagamore Hill yesterday.' The iews of the president of the United stales and the ex-president were be ing exchanged through the medium of the country chap-man of New York. Lloyd C. Griscom hurried hack from Beverly, where he spent Saturday night with Mr. Taft, to tell Colonel Roosevelt the administration' sido of the story. W hen It was all over, the colonel announced that he had noth ing to say. Not Sent to Oyster i3ay. Inquirers who talked with Mr. Griscom after his conference with Mr. Koosevelt were Just a bit surprised when he said that not only had the president not sent him to Oyster Ba; , hut that the president did not know that he was coming here. In spite of the country chairman's declaration it is strongly suspected here that be did come wit h the hope of putting up the president's attitude to the colonel and getting an indorse ment of it. If that is the case, Mr. Griscom probably did not fulfill his mission. It la known here that Mr. Griscom bore a message of somo sort to Mr. Roocevelt. The fact that Mr. Griscom an nounced that he thinks Mr. Koosevelt ami President Taft are agreed so far as the New York sltuatou is concerned does not alter the circumstances that have existed for some time. When be was asked how close the two men hitch upon the national sit uation, the county chairman hesitated some time before answering, when ho replied that he really had no right to talk about that because his Job has to do with Htate politics. Mr. Koosevelt and his visitor Bpent the morning on the wide veranda of Pagamore Hill. They sat and chatted Incessantly. They were not inter rupted. When luncheon was over the colonel and Mr. Griscom continued their conference until It was nearly dusk. The county chairman hurried off to tho w)iaif In t'nld Spring har bor and returned to Now York city In his motor boat. Before he went away from here Mr. Griscom was asktd: "Why did you como so soon after your visit to Beverly?" "I had to see Mr. Koosevelt," said the county chairman. "There are a lot of Important matters that 1 have wanted lo take up with him. I have seen very little of him since he re lumed f loin abroad. I tallied over state matters with him Just as I did with the president. That is all I can say. No Candidate Decided Upon. When a reported nked Mr. Gris com whether anything definite so far as ho knew bad been decided upon for a Republican gubernatorial candi date, he replied that nothing had. Leaders throughout the state must be consulted before a man is named. The situation has l.ot cryslaliztd yet. It Is too early." It la extremely doubtful that the colonel will soy a word about yester day's conversation. It is tha general oi'inlon here that If he were In sympa thy with the administration he would have said so long before this. 11 Si PIRATES IN TH EPACIFIC Prey Upon Merchant Vessels On Coast of Mexico. Boarded a Sailing Vessel That Had Run Aground on the Island of San Geronlmo and Stole Everything They Could Find At the Same Place They Took 3,000 Sacks of Guano War Vessel Sent After Them. A Mexico city dispatch says a piiabj ship is preying upon the merchant vessels in the waters of tho Pacific along the upper coast of Mexico ac cording to advices received by the department of war and marine. A war vessel has been dispatched to overhaul the alleged piratical craft, which is known as the Baltlco, 1'ablo Charles commander. Two Americans, James Cart and Henry Brown, who were captured in n small boat by the Baltlco near La I'az, were later pet on shore on the Lower California and have Just been landed ai Mazatalan by the steamer Herrerias. In the complaint to the government, It is allegeu that the commander of the Baltlco obi air. Ai permission of the authorities to take fish along the coast, but instead of do ing so he overhauled all the little boats he saw on his cruise and took all their cargoes. The goods thus rtolen were sold at the small points of San Geronlmo, San Qiientine and o'liers, as wel las Magdalena Bay. On the Island of - San Geronlmo, the pirate boarded a sailing vessel that had run aground and took every thing they could find ashore. At the same place they took three thousand sacks of guano and other things. The commander of the port com municated with the department of war and marine and asked that a gunboat be sent to overhaul the Bal tlco and arrest Captain Charles. SIX CHINAMEN ARRESTED Charged With Entering the United States Illegally. Six Chinamen, who were endeavor ing to illegally enter the United States from Canada, and who paid they were bound for New York, were found, half starved and suffering intense agony from thirst in p. New York Central freght car in I'tlca. They had been without food or water for six days and when discov ered were huddled in bales of hav In the closely packed car, three of them being in a semi-conscious condition Hiid the others so weak that they could not stand. The Chinamen were In a car filled with pressed hay. It was hilled from St. Timothee, Canada, to New York. When a repair gang set to work fix ing a broken coupling one of the work men heard a weak voice from within the car asking for a drink of water, ottering to pay $50 to the repairmen If lie would get Fomeetblng to eat and drink for a party of six. The mar notified his superiors and the railroad detectives. The car was then broken into and the nest of Chinamen discov ered. The Chinamen were given whisky and milk before they were taken to police headquarters. The police surgeon says they will probably sunlve, though at '.east two of them are in serious condition. POACHERS BLOWUP DAM Trees Uprooted and Four Bridges Swept Away. A largo dam that held in check an extensive hotly of water on the estat-j of Henry J. Cookingham of Utica, a brother-in-law of Vice President Sher man of the United States, at Hinckley In the Adlrondacks, was destroyed by poachers and gieat damage lo sur rounding property was wrought. It Is staled that the dam was blown up by dynamite and that the crime was perpetrated by persons who ha.l a grudge against the owner of the uropcrty. Mr. Cuoklnham had recently taken legal action against Kevernl alleged poachers and had had trouble with petly thieves. The big body of water that broke through the dam uprooted trees, wash ed away four highway bridges nnd swept away about one-fourth of a inllo of tho highway.

The steamer Corwin has arrived at Scwai'd, Alaska, from the port of Nome with the reisirt that Mount Sblshaldin. the highest volcanic peak In the L'nimak Islands, Is again in erti Hon. Ottlcers of the Corwin say that vhen they passed the Island a few days ago tho volcano was more ac tive Ihan during the former eruption. A great column of fire shot high into the air and volumes of smoke poured from the cra'er. The snow which at the time of the previous eruption had not melled far from the crnter has entirely disappeared from the sides of the mountain.

SCHIFF TALKS ON ALASKA Says the Country Has Great Natural Resources. Jacob H. SchlfT was back at. hl office In Nrw York city after an extended trip tc Alaska. The banker declared lhat the best way to develop the coal and timber resources of that country would be under the direction of a government commission. Capital was easily frightened in Alaska, said the banker, and Immlgratlnn was on a small scale because people did no' know what they would find whn thoy got there. 'The three great natural products of Alaska," Raid Mr. Schlff, "are met sis, fish and coal. The fisheries aie pear to be very prosperous. The de velopment of metals needs the build ing of railroads and wagon roads to make the various deposits access! Lie. "Coal is awaiting the establishment of a policy by the government for lt development. At the present time coal in Alaska is worth something like $12 a ton and it is altogether Brit ish Columbia coal. If the Alaskan mines were opened up It probably could be furnished for $1.73 or per haps $.1 a ton. The demand for con servalion is good enough In its way, but it must not go so far as to seal up the couritrv. That Is practically what it is doing In Alaska. "It appears to me," continued the banker, "that Alaskan resources, es pecially its coal and timber, could be developed tinder the control of a United Stales commission, something like the interstate commerce commis sion." Mr. SchifT has a poor estimation of Alaska as an agrlcultural'country. He -aid tbe country was exceedingly arid and the short summei season was against it. CHILD ATTACKED BY LEOPARD Boy Receives Severe Injuries From Ugly Animal. A leopard reached through its cage at Beaver Falls, Pa., and with its huge paws lacerated the face and nearly tore off the scalp of John Kgensberger aged 5, who, with hie father, George Kggensberger, was standing in front or the bars. The falher, the Animal's keeper and an other man, struggled desperntely be fore the child was released. When the father turned away a moment, the leopard, reaching Its paws through the bars like a cat feeling for a ball, caught the child by the head, lifted him several feet and tried to claw him through the bars. The child screamed until he became unconscious from his wounds and fright. He Is in a criti cal condition. It is said the leopard once before made a similar attack on a child. CANNON TO BE SHELVED?
