FARMER COPE IS HARD AT WORK Governor Stone's New Appointee Arrests Violators of the Oleo Law. M'KINLEY IS A STALWART. The President IlccoieiiißC" the Rc»rn lnr Republican Oritmilxnt lon In the Appointment OF LLI» Hand na I'nlted State* District Attorney—Pennsyl vania Share* In Prosperity. (Special Correspondence.) ! Philadelphia. July 17.—Farmer Cope, whom Governor Stone appointed at the head of the dairy and food department of Pennsylvania, has been making a great record in the short time he has filled this important post. lie has made the political enemies of the Stone administration admit that he is strict- r ly enforcing the law, and he has dem onstrated his ability to take care of himself despite the unfair and ma licious attacks which the Wanamaker subsidized newspapers are making upon the administration. An object lesson showing what is being done in this department was Klven in this city last week when a big array of dealers were before Magis trate Stratton charged with violating the laws in relation to the sale of "oleo." The warrants for these arrests were sworn out by Farmer Cope's agents and he hnd his own attorney on hand to see that the prosecutions were pressed without f'ar or favor. Professor Genth, who made a careful examination of all ■ submitted to him by F'mer >Jupe, wa:-. iiere to testify as to the result of his analysis. The magistrate held several of the ac- j cused in bail for court as the result of the testimony submitted, and in other cases the accused waived hear ings, and the cases will be sent to court for early trial. ADMISSIONS FROM OPPONENTS. Some of the men who for political reasons were enlisted in the campaign of misrepresentation of the adminis tration of the pure food laws by the officials of the Stone administration have admitted that under Farmer Cope's administration there is a de termined and successful effort being made to faithfully administer the laws and to hunt down and prosecute all violators of the kw. In a desperate effort to keep alive a feeling of hostility to the Republican state administration for purely politi cal reasons the Wanamaker news paper interests are continuing their wilful misrepresentations, but they have ceased to make an impression upon the popular mind. The people realize that there is an honest and capable official at the head of the de partment who is working night and day to carry out Governor Stone's in structions to discover and prosecute every man who is violating the pure food laws in the state and to do this without reference to political or other Interests. Farmer Cope has placed his Chester county farm and dairy Interests in competent hands and is devoting all his time and energies to obeying the Injunctions of the governor. M'KINLEY IS A STALWART. The appointment by President Mc- Kinley of James B. Holland as United States attorney for the eastern district of Pennsylvania, last week was very gratifying to the stalwart Republican element of this state. Mr. Holland has for several years been recognized aa a stalwart leader of Montgomery county anH he has given personal at tention to the management of the party organization there. For his party ser vices in the past he was named as naval officer of this port early in the present administration. When the term of District Attorney Beck ex pired Mr. Holland was suggested for appointment as his successor. Tre mendous pressure was at once brought upon the president to prevent Mr. Holland's appoint ment. The insurgent and gold Democratic influences were brought to bear for the reappointment of Mr. Beck, who had renounced the Demo cratic party. Mr. Holland was recom mended by Col. Quay, Senator Penrose, Chairman Reeder, of the Republican state committee, and other active Re publicans, as well as many members of the bar of the counties embraced in his district. There was something of a struggle over the place, but Presi dent McKinley put an end to the con tention by stating that he would recog nize the representatives of the regular Republican organization and Mr. Hol land was appointed. He was sworn in on Saturday last and he will at once assume charge of the duties of the office. In this connection It is fair to state that since President McKinley has been In the White House there has not been a single important Pennsyl vania appointment which has not been made upon the recommendation of Messrs. Quay and Penrose or the Re publican member of the house of repre sentatives In tip di.

OCimRiMME Another Day of Victories For Amer icans in Paris, WON SIXTEEN CHAMPIONSHIPS, HI-MIIICM Si'rnrlrm Thirteen Seconds uiul Twelve Thirds I■■ Twenty-one Kvcnts—Kraenzlein, tlie American Runner, Retire* From Athletics. Paris, July 17. —The American ath letes continued winning victories at the international contests in connec tion with the exposition yesterday af ternoon. As many foreigners stayed out of yesterday's events, less interest than usual was manifested in the con tests, which were largely among the Americans. A. C. Kraenzlein. of the University of Pennsylvania, won the first heat in the 200 metres hurdle race very easily. Choisel, a Frenchman, was second and George W. Orton, University of Penn sylvania, third. N. G. Pritchard, the champion 100 yard runner of India, defeated Walter B. Tewksbury, of the University of Pennsylvania, in the sec ond heat. T. B. McClain, of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, was third. The final heat was almost a walkover for Kraenzlein, who finished a yard ahead of his competitors. Pritchard was second and Tewksbury third. Choi sel, a Frenchman, also ran. The three standing jumps was easily an American event, the athletes from the United States quickly outjumping all the other competitors. The same can be said of the hop, step and jump. Prinstein, of the Syra cuse university; Connelly, of Boston, and Richard Sheldon, of the N. Y. A. C., qualified for the finals and jump off. Prinstein won, though Connelly pushed him hard. The 800 metres flat race brought six men to the tape for the final heat — Captain Cregan. of Princeton; David C. Hall, of Brown university; John Bray, of Williams college; A. E. Tysoe, the English champion half mile runner; Speidel, a Hungarian, and De Loge, a Frenchman. Tysoe won, with Cregan a close second and Hall third. The standing high jump was a con test between three Americans, they be ing the only entries. Ray Ewry, of the N. Y. A. C., who holds the record, won quickly, I. E. Baxter. University of Pennsylvania, getting the place from Richard Sheldon, of the N. Y. A. C. It wits announced that Ewry would attempt to surpass his own world s record of one metre 63 centimetres. This he did on the second attempt, clearing one metre 65 centimetres. The Americans also captured the long jump, the hammer throwing and the standing long jump, and they did it easily. In fact, the facility with which the American athletes carried off prizes finally grew monotonous. Three events were won by foreign ers. One, the tug of war. was not con tested by the Americans. In'the 800 meters fiat race, which was won by an Englishman, Tysoe, the Americans took second and third places. In the remaining race, the 5,000 meters steep lechase, they failed to get a place. Englishmen taking all three. College men who were prevented from competing Sunday by the change In the agreed, or at least understood arrangements, feel none too kindly to ward the representatives of tlieUniver sity of Pennsylvana for contesting. They claim that if Pennsylvania had stayed out concerted action might have brought about a modification. The University of Michigan, with Dvorack; the University of Syracuse, with Prinstein; Princeton, with two men in the pole vault and one in the high jump, were those suffering most. Some complain bitterly, declaring with out equivocation that they have been unfairly treated. A. C. Kraenzlein, University of Penn sylvania, has run his last race. He made a statement to this effect yes terday afternoon at the conclusion of the 200 meters hurdle, which he won so easily. "That was my last race," he exclaimed. "I am through with athletics, and shall devote myself to something more serious." He was badly used up. the strain of three days' consecutive games having told upon him severely. More Transports For China. Washington, July 17.—The quarter master general yesterday increased the fleet of transports to be used in the transportation of about 4,000 horses and mules to the Philippines and China by the charter of the trans ports Phrvra and Athenian. Most of these horses are intended for the use of the cavalry troops ordered to the east, and their dispatch is to be ex pedited. New York Chinese Ask Protection. New York, July 17. —Chinatown Chinese have framed a petition and forwarded it to Washington asking the authorities for protection in case of a sudden popular outbreak. A week ago last Thursday night a meeting was held for the purpose of considering the raising of a fund to help the Boxers. When the.question came to a vote it was defeated. Split In the Colombian Ministry. Kingston, Jam., July 17. —News has reached here of a serious split in the Colombian government. Certain min isters have taken a position antagonis tic to their colleagues. The former have the confidence of the public and soldiery, and should the split become more acute the rebels will be largely reinforced by government troops. l'wo Yonnk Women Killed by Trnln. Shelbyville, Ind., July 17. —Three young women, riding in a buggy, were caught on the crossing and killed by a passenger train yesterday afternoon one mile east of this city.

R., July 14, arrived here yesterday and left in the afternoon for New York, carrying 80 Porto Rican teachers, who will attend the Harvard summer school. At Least Fifteen Lives Lost in a Texas Town. . TWO HEROES AMONG THE VICTIMS. They llad Remened Four Children, 1 11111 All Were Swept to Death in an Kfl'ort to Stem the Swift Current. | Ten Itodlea Already Heeovered. Coleman, Tex., July 17. —Fifteen J lives are known to have been lost in ' a cloudburst here yesterday. Ten bodies have been recovered, but only two were identified. They are: Joseph , Spath, leading merchant of the village; I John Fuleisstine. It is feared that many more lives j were lost in the valley below Cole- : man. The cloudburst, which followed three days' unprecedented rainfall, | caused Ford's creek to burst its banks and run through Coleman, a village ! of less than 1,000 inhabitants. Bewildered citizens, roused from their slumbers, rushed into the streets j and wore swept away. Many were j saved by catching hold of pieces of ! timber and navigating them into ed- j dies formed by the swift current, j where they were drawn ashore. Spath and Fuleisstine managed to j mount their horses. They dashed into j the water and swam their horses to a j house where four little girls were screaming lor help. Each rescued two of the children, whom they took upon their horses. The animals were swept away, however, in a noble effort to stem the swift current, and all were drowned. A Kerrville, Tex., dispatch says: A cloudburst occurred north of this place last night. Many farms were inundated and loss of life is probable. The ter ritory devastated is composed of well stocked farms, and the financial loss will be very heavy. Parties are out in boats in the suddenly flooded country looking for victims of the Hood, and it is reported that a number of bodies have been found and hundreds of dead cattle counted.
