London. —The extraordinary demon-
stration on the night of June 30 be-
fore the House of Parliament made
by ‘the suffragettes had a startling se-
quel next day when one woman, Mary
ieigh, arrested for breaking windows
in the house of Premier Asquith, de-
clared in the police court: “The next
time we come out you can expect
bombs.” Her comparion in this ex-
ploit was Miss Edith New.
The two women who broke win-
dows in the house of the Premier
were sentenced to two months at
hard labor without the option of pay-
ing a fine. Compared to previous
punishments meted out to suffragettes
these sentences are particularly se-
vere.
“Twenty-seven out of the 29 suf-
fragettes arrested were charged in
police court with obstructing the po-
lice. Those against whom previous
,convictions had been entered were
fined and ordered to give security for
,their good behavior for one year Or
to spend three months in prison. First
offenders were required to give secur-
ity not to repeat the offense, in de-
fault of which they were sentenced
to one month’s imprisonment. Most
of the women elected to g0 to serve
time.
One thousand suffragettes, goaded
to madness by the action of the po-
lice, attempted to rescue 928 of the 29
of their number who were arrested
during last night's demonstration. The
‘prisoners were being taken to prison
when a mob of enraged women “rush-
ed” the police van, just as it was
leaving the courtyard.
Expecting the attack hundreds of
police were hidden inside the court-
yard and at the first mowement by
the suffragettes, they rushed to the
van and succeeded in beating back the
women.
The suffragettes have decided to re-
peat these performances every night
until Parliament finally grants them
the rights of franchise.
BALLOONIST IN PERIL
Terrible Experience of Air Navigators
in Great Endurance Race
frem Chicago.
Chicago.—The ‘Chicago to Ocean”
balloon race ended when the last of
the nine contestants came to earth at
West Shefford, Quebec, 800 miles
from the starting point. This craft
was the Fielding, owned by F. J.
Fielding, of San Antonio, Tex. It cov-
ered approximately 100 miles more
than its nearest competitor, and is
also believed to have captured the
prize for the balloon which remained
in the air the longest.
The contest was marked by several
thrilling escapes from drowning. The
Ville de Dieppe dropped in Lake Mich-
igan soon after the start, and for an
hour or more Colonel A. E. Mueller
and George Schoeneck, its pilots, were
swept across the surface, finally aris-
ing with their craft to a height of
7,000 feet, from which they descended
to Benton Harbor, Mich.

steerable ballcons. He remained in
the air for 12 hours, traversed the
greater part of northern Switzerland
and 'visited Zurich, Winterthur and
Lucerne, attaining an average speed
throughout of 34 miles an hour.
His airship displayed splendid qual-
ities of dirigibility and answered the
slightest movement of the helm,
while its stability was quite up to the
greatest expectations.
In the most desirable weather con-
ditions, almost a dead calm, the air-
ship, manned by a crew of 14 under
the leadership of Count Zeppelin, left
its floating home on Lake Constance
at 8:30 o’clock in the morning. Less
than five minutes later Count Zeppelin
shouted “All clear,” and the balloon
rose about 1,000 feet in the air and
ing statement for the fiscal year end-
ing June 30, 1908, will show a marked
falling off in the receipts as compared
with the year 1907 and a large in-
crease in the expenditures. The ex-
cess of expenditures over receipts for
the year approximate -$50,000,000,
which has been exceeded only twice
since ‘the Civil War. In 1894 there
was a deficit of $69,803,000 and in
1899 there was another of a little over
$89,000,000, and in each of the four
intervening years the receipts fell
considerably below the disbursements.
Again in 1904 and in 1905 there were
shortages of $41,770,000 and $23,000,
000 respectively.
The total receipts this year will be
shown to have been about $599,999,
000, or $64,000,000 less than for the
fiscal year 1907. Customs receipts
will be shown to have fallen off about
$46,000,000 from those of 1907, while
the receipts from internal revenue
sources will be short nearly $19,000,
000. Miscellaneous receipts will show
a slight gain.
The disbursements for the year will
be shown to have aggregated about
$659,000,000, or $80,000,000 more than
for 1907 and $54,000,000 more than for
any year since 1865, not excepting the
turned her bows towards Constance.
By 9 o'clock it had disappeared on the
western horizon.
Telephone messages from Frauen-
feld, Wintethur and other towns soon
reported the appearance of the air-
ship and her passage over the canton
of Zurich. The giant craft remain-
ed 10 minutes hovering over the town
of Zurich and the lake and then van-
ished from view at a rapid rate.
By 6:30 in the evening the airship
had again reached Lake Constance
and turned eastward to Bregenz. From
that place it traveled back to Fried-
richshafen, executing a most difficult
series of maneuvers. It descended
to within 100 feet of the roofs of the
houses and was greeted with a salute
from a battery of small mortars and
by cheers and shouts. A few min-
utes later the balloon slipped easily
into the shed, from which it had been
absent just 12 hours.
The greatest altitude reached in
the long voyage was 2,500 feet, and
the distance covered was about 220
miles as the crow flies. Passengers
traveling on a train between Zurich
and Constance say the balloon easily
overhauled their train.

HAS PENSION SYSTEM
Official Tells Why Few Employes of
Standard Give Up Their Jobs.
New York.—The pension system of
the Standard Oil Company, of New
York, was described at the hearing
of the government's suit to dissolve
the corporation.
william R. King, general sales
agent of the company, testified that
few of the employes ever leave, be-
cause this system provides that any
of them may retire at the age of 65
on 25 per cent of their average salary
for the past 10 years for the rest of
life.
It also provides that any employe of
20 years service may retire when 60,
receiving for 10 years half of his
average salary for the preceding 10
years. From then until death he will
be paid 25 per cent of this average.

increased disbursements are very gen-
eral and are shown in nearly every
account except that of interest on the
public debt some of the heaviest of
| them were for important permanent
improvements.
The Panama Canal, during the clos-
ing year, will have cost the govern-
ment $38,000,000, as against $27,000,000
for the year 1907, and the work this
year in connection with the reclama-
tion of the public lands will be shown
to have cost about $13,000,000, which
is not far from last year’s figures.
The deficiency in the postal reven-
ues for the present year will probably:
reach $13,500,000, as against $7,500,-
000 for 1907, making a difference of
$6,000,000. This is the largest postal
deficiency in the history of the gov-
ernment, except in 1905, when it
reached nearly $15,000,000.
The records show that there has
been a postal deficiency every year
since the establishment of the serv-
ice with the exception of 12, when
small surpluses were shown. }
The expense of the rural free mail
delivery this year is not expected to
fall below $25,000,000.
The decrease in the amount of the
receipts of $64,000,000, and the in-
creased expenditures of $80,000,000
made a difference against, the Treas-
ury for the. fiscal year of $144,000,000.

El Paso, Tex.—The first revolution-

ico beyond the borders of Coahuila
occurred at 4 o'clock on the morning
of June 20, when the garrison at Pal-
omas, Chihuahua, 70 miles west of
this city, was attacked by a band of
50 men, who were repulsed with a
loss of one killed and one captured.
There were 14 guards stationed at

TORREON A STORM CENTER
Mexican Soldiers Being Rushed to
That Town to Drive Out Ban-

Washington, D. C.—By direction of
President Roosevelt, Secretary of War
Taft has ordered the commanding
general of the Department of Texas
at San Antonio to send a sufficient
number of troops to Del Rio, El Paso
and other points in Texas to aid the
civil atthorities in preserving order.
This action was decided upon by
request of the Mexican government,
that the United States do its utmost |
to prevent any violation of the neu-
trality laws.
The request of the Mexican gov-
ernment was referred to the Attor-
ney General by the State Depart-
ment, and the Governor of Texas
meanwhile was asked to aid in com-
pelling obedience to the law. The
order of the President sending troops
to the border is understood to have
been made upon the recommendation
of the Attorney General.
Brigadier General A. L. Meyer, in
command of the Department of Texas,
is authorized to ascertain the num-
ber of troops necessary at Del Rio and
El Paso and also to send troops to |
any other points along the Mexico-
Texas border if found advisable.
The Federal troops will act under |
the direction of the United States |

the principal disturbances have oc-
curred.

diers have reached Torreon to rein-
force the garrison there, 200 more
have reached Juarez, and in Chihua-
hua soldiers are patrolling the streets
and the public houses and jails are
heavily guarded.
At Las Vacas, where the first seri-
ous attack was made, the govern-
ment has gained the upper hand.
Troops are now in complete control
in that city, rebels and bandits hav-

Minnesota Storm Destroys 33 Houses
in Clinton.
St. Paul, Minn. — Reports from
Graceviile, Minn.; give additional de-
tails of the tornado that struck Clin-
ton, a town of 400 inhabitants, in the
western part of Minnesota late Satur-
day afternoon, killing seven persons.
The dispatches say that over 60 were
injured, but that only 11 were serious-
ly hurt.
Thirty-three houses in Clinton were
totally destroyed and 25 were prac-
tically ruined. Two hundred people
are homeless, and scores are destitute
of clothing. Outside aid is needed.
Mitchell, S. D.—The little town of
Pukwana, in Brule county about 50
miles west of here, was almost wiped
out by a tornado. No one was in-
jured. Between 12 and 15 stores and
homes were totally destroyed and there
was not a house in the town that was
not damaged.
RAILROAD EARNINGS DECREASE
Falling Off in Net Profits Last Year
Estimated to Be Only
$121,273,302.
New York.—The gross earnings of
the railroads of the United States for
the fiscal year ending June 30 were
estimated by the “Wall Street Jour-
pal” to amount to $2,477,304,656; a de-
crease of $108,608,346 as compared
with last year.
The net earnings of the railroads
are estimated at $718,542,578, a de-
crease of $121,273,302. These esti-
mates are based on the earnings of
1905 of the leading railroads. for ten
months or more.
The paper estimates also that dur-
ing May and June the gross receipts
of the railroads are showing a net
loss at the rate of $600,000,000 a year
in gross and of $200,000,000 in net
earnings.

party surprised the town The
most of the insurrectionists were
armed with rude weapons and. home-
made implements of warfare.
The attack began when a bomb was
thrown into the telegraph office, shut-
ting off communication with outside
points. In the fight which followed
several hundred shots were fired and
many bombs thrown at the head-
quarters of the officers.
Owing to the fact that the bombs
were ill-timed the officers were able
to throw them away before they ex-
ploded, thus saving the ‘building and
their own lives. The fight lasted one
hour, after which the attacking party
fled to the mountains.
