QUEBEC CELEBRATES
HER TERGENTENARY
Festivities Inaugurated With a
Series of Spleneid Pageants.
EXCHANGE OF AMENITIES
Vice President Fairbanks Says Nice |
Things About England and
Prince About America.
Quebec. — Booming of cannon,
pierced by the cheers of- the mulii-
tude, rolling up over the Plains of
Abraham, was the signal for the of-
ficial opening of the celebration that
commemorated the three hundredth
anniversary of the founding of the
city of Quebec by Champlain. His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
presided personally over the festivi-
ties. _ In the morning he visited the
United States battleship New Hamp-
shire. As his launch flying the royal
standard approached a royal salute
of 21 guns was fired, the marines
were paraded and the tops were
manned by the seamen.
Rear Admiral Cowles and Captain
Winslow received the royal guest, and
presented him to the American of-
ficers, who escorted him over the
ship.
The historical ceremonies began
when a fac simile of Samuel De Cham-
plain’s ship in which he crossed the
Atlantic, the Don De Dieu, sailed up
to the city with its crew of historical
characters to the point where Cham-
plain landed. Here they entered a
structure a reproduction of the rough
palisade fortress which the navigator |
first occupied. Here the historical |
groups filed before the Prince, who re-
viewed the pageant of 5,000 persons
in all its lavish magnificence.
The Mayor of Quebec presented to |
the Prince a civic address on behalf
of the city, expressing the gratitude
of Canada to the mother country, and
renewing allegiance to the Crown.
Addresses were also made by rep-
resentatives of -Ffance and Canada,
and by Vice President Fairbanks for
the United States, who congratulated
the city and the nation upon the veea-
sion. .
In 1608 French Dominion in Canada
began with the founding of Quebec by
Champlain and DesMeonts. It iy
ed in 1760 with the capitulation of
Montreal to the British. There was
a new birth for these British posses-
sions north of the American bound-
ary in 1867 when the British North
‘America act was passed by the im-
perial parliament creating the Domin-
ion of Canada.
MOB ATTACKS CONSULATE
Violent Demonstration by People
Curacao Against Venezuela.
Willemstad, Island of Curacao.—
The relations between Venezuela and
the people of the Island of Curacao,
Dutch West Indies, are strained to
the breaking point.
Following a long series of what
the residents of Curacao regard as
antagonistic actions on the part of
President Castro, directed against
themselves and the Dutch Govern-
ment, mobs gathered in force at this
capital and expressed their resent-
ment in an attack upon the home of a
Venezuelan who had published state-
ments in Venezuelan papers deroga-
tory to the island, and later held vio-
lent demonstrations in front of the
residence of the Venezuelan Consul;
surrounded the German Consulate, |
where he had taken refuge, and com-
pelled the ordering out of armed
troops so that the Consul might be
protected from injury.
The demonstration before the resi-
dence of the Venezuelan Consul, Sen-
or Lopez, occurred late at night, and
although no attack was made it is
stated that two shots were fired from
the Consul’s house, no cone, however,
being injured.

Horse Makes Record.
Terre Haute, Ind.—Jack Leyburn
established two world’s records in the
2:09 trot of the Great Western circuit
meet. One mark was 2:04%4, the
fastest third heat in a race, and the
other was the three fastest heats ever
trotted by a gelding. The average
for the three heats was 2:06. This
is one-third of a second slower than
the world’s mark set by Alix on the
Terre Haute track 14 years ago.

RETRIAL ORDERED
President Wants Standard Oil Cases
Tried ocn_ Merits.
Oyster Bay, N.

terms the determination of the admin-
istration to proceed with the prosecu-
tion of the Standard Oil case, despite
the decision adverse to the govern-
ment handed down by the United
States circuit court of appeals at Chi-
cago.
This decision, the President thinks,
in no way affects the merits of the
case, and he makes known his deci-
sion to cause the action to be brought
again before the courts in such shape,
if possible, 2s to prevent technicali-
ties interfering with a decision based
upon the actual issues involved.
Twenty-Five Workmen Drown.
Bernese,
men were drowned iu the Loetschherg
tunnel, in the Bernese Alps. The
men were drilling inside the tunnel
when their tools pierced the wall

was not known. The wall gave way
with a crash and a torrent of water
and mud rushed into the tunnel and
filled it. All of the workmen were
drowned.

ment that the party will make a par-
ticularly hard fight to carry the Em-
pire State.

President Roosevelt Says Mere
Coast Fleet Will Not Do.
BIG INTERESTS ARE AT STAKE
President Opens Marine Conference
at Newport in a Stirring Speech
on Our Naval Needs.
Newport, R. I.—Pleading for popu-
lar ‘support for a “first-class fighting
navy,” a navy capable of seeking out
the enemy and “hammering him into
the quits,” President Roosevelt was
the central. figure here in a notable
conference of American naval officers.
After the President’s speech the
conference went into private session
for an hour, at which the President
took a leading part in the discussion.
He argued as a layman, he explained,
and did not attempt to -give advice to
‘professional men.
.He impressed upon the officers,
however, that it was given to them
to keep the American navy abreast of
the times and to. make it the hard-
hitting, efficient fighting force which
he believes to be a guarantee against
the possibility of war.
The President returned to Oyster
Bay, but the battleship conferences
will continue here and in Washington
until definite plans for the ships to
be leid down in the near future are
decided upon.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Newberry attended the conference as
did General Horace Porter, president
of the Navy league. The conference
included no less than ten rear admir-
als of the navy and a host of officers
from the grade of captain and below.
Army officers from Fort Adams and
Fort Greble also were invited to the
conference. The officers applauded
the President’s aggressive naval ad-
dress almost continuously.

death early next morning in Forest
Hill Cemetery by a platoon of police-

Several Thousand Troops in Open Re-
volt and Talking Ccnstitution.
Constantinople.—Iit is rumored that
7,000 Turkish soldiers in the Monastir
district are in open revolt and that
scene of the outbreak.

| brate the semi-centennial of peace
| between the North aug South, by hold-
ing in 1915 a great Southern exposi-

ing of the chamber of commerce. The

elled by Coroner Dolen to inquire in-
to the wreck of the White Mountain

BIG FINE "SET ASIDE
| Higher Court Reverses Decision of
Judge Landis Against Standard
Oil Company for Rebating.
Chicago.—Following the unanimous
decision of Judges Grosscup, Seaman
and Baker, composing the United
States circuit court of appeals, re-
versing and remanding the case of
the government against the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, in which
case Judge Landis in the district
court had imposed a fine of $29,240,-
000, the federal attorneys announced
, that the government had 30 days
within which to file a petition for a
rehearing, and that it would be filed
within the alloted period. °
In the case that réversed the Stand-
ard Oil Company of Indiana had been
convicted of accepting rebates on
shipments of oil from its refinery at
Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, Ill.
Judge Landis fined the company $20,-
000 cn each 1,4C2 counts, each count
representing a carload shipment.
The opinion of three judges -of
the higher court leaves little of the
contention that each carload consti-
tued a separate offense. Even the
various shipments, of which there
were about 500, could not be consid-
ered as separate offenses under the
ruling of the court of appeals.
The fine should have been based
on settlements between the railroad
and the cil company, the opinion
holds. Of these there were just 36.
The maximum fine on this basis
would amount to $720,000, and the
minimum $36,000. It is said that
$223,000 is the total amount which
the Standard Oil Company is alleged
to have received as rebates on the
shipments in question.
In the event that a rehearing is
denied the government may go to
trial on the original indictment, con-
taining 1,462 counts.

in jures Five Sailors.
Honolulu.—By the bursting of a
steam pipe of the forward starboard
boiler of the battleship Kearsarge of
the Atlantic fleet, five of the fire room
crew were injured seriously. The

sarge lay at anchor in the harbor dis-
the shore. Fires were
drawn after the accident, and the
steam plant was disabled nine hours.
The names of the worst injured

inches in diagneter. It burst direct
ly under the ventilating shaft, and
rent the upper side thus permitting
the steam to escape through the ven-
tilators. :

PREMATURE BLAST
HAD FEARFUL RESULT
Workman Hurries Explosion by
Using Iron Rod.
ONE HAD DISOBEYED ORDER
Bodies Were Hurled in Every Direc-
tion and Some Buried Under
Piles of Stone.
Shippensburg, Pa.—Three men who
were blasting rock at the Summit
cut-off of the Cumberland Valley Rail-
road, near here, were killed as the
result of a premature explosion, while
two others were probably fatally in-
jured and 10 seriousiy hurt.
The Dead—Michael Maloy, 35 years
old; instantly killed. Edward But-
ler, 37 years old; badly mangled. John
London; badly mangled.
Probably Fatally Injured—Charles
Johnson, body cut and injured inter-
nally. Conton G. Boyne, legs brok-
en, body cut and injured internally.
The accident occurred, it is alleged,
“through the carelessness of Maloy,
who, contrary ‘to orders of William T.
Shaw, field manager of the cut-off
work, was placing a 50-pound dyna-
mite charge with an iron rod without
a wooden end. . It is supposed that a
spark was created by the iron, setting
the dynamite off.
The dead and injured were hurled
in all directions, and some were bur-
ied beneath piles of stone.
SUMMONED INTO COURT
Mitchell and Others Must
Explain.
Washington.—In the Bucks Stove
and Range case, Justice Anderson of
the district supreme court simmoned
Gempers,
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. Sec-
retary Frank Morrison and John
Mitchell, members of the executive
council, to appear September 8 to
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt of the court’s
injunctive order.
The Bucks Stove and Range Com-
pany of St. Louis alleges that an or-
der issued by Justice Gould forbid-
ding an alleged boycott by the Amer-
lcan Federation of Labor has been
violated by the public utterances and
addresses of the three labor leaders
named. It also is stated that Gom-
pers caused {o be published in the
Federationist, the official organ of
the federation, an article reflecting on
the cecurt’s decision, and pdinted in
alleged open defiance the name of the
Bucks Stove and Range Company
in the “We Don’t Patronize’ list.
Gompers is quoted as saying: “So
far as 1 am concerned, I wish to
state this: When it comes to a
choice between surrendering my
rights as a free American citizen or
violating the injunction of the court,
I do not hesitate to say that I shall
exercise my rights as between the
two.”
John Mitchell at a meeting of the
United Mine Workers last January
put to a vote a resolution imposing a
fine of $5 on any member of that or-
ganization who purchased a stove or
range of the company’s make.
FARMERS HELP STEEL
Trade Continues Gradual Im-
provement Due to Rural
Prosperity.
Metaj
Cleveland.—The Iron Trade Review
tomorrow says: The prosperity of
the farmer continues to be strongly
reflected in the improvement, of the
iron business, which is shown not
only in such products as wire, which
goes directly to the farm, but also in
bars used by implement’ manufactur-
ers and in the increased activity of
railroad shops, which are repairing
cars to move Leavy crops. The im-
provement is very slow, but, never-
theless, real, and, considering that it
comes -in midsnummer, when there is
almost always a considerable diminu-
tion in demand for iron and steel pro-
ducts and decreased activity of mills,
is very encouraging.
The signing of the wage scale of
the Amalgamated Association by a
number of important manufacturing
concerns has removed the cause of
some anxiety and furnishes further
reason for believing that there will
be few, if any, serious wage contro-
versies this summer. The strike of
miners in the South is causing some
trouble, but has not resulted in the
banking of any furnaces.
BiG ADVANCE IN WAGES
Fifteen Thousand Rubber Workers
Feel Result of Resumption.
New York.—Fifteen thousand em-
ployes of the United States Rubber
Company were gladdened when in
factories here, in Boston, in Bristol,
R. I, Akron, O., Trenton, -N. J., and
Newton, Mass., bulletins announced a
practical raise in wages from 15 to
25 per cent. Since January 1 the em-
ployes of the company have been
working under a time cut. The new
order is made retroactive and back
pay on the basis of the increase will
be paid all employed from July 1.
“The resumption of business activ-
ity,” said John J. Watson, Jr., “and
the healthy trade progress of the last
few months is responsible for the In-
crease.”

Eminent Prelate of Episcopal Church
Succumbs to Long illness.
Cooperstown, N. Y—Henry Codman
Potter, seventh Protestant Bishop of
the diocese of New York, died at Fern-
leigh, his summer home here, after an
illness of several weeks. The Bishop
was T4 years old.
» Bishop Potter’s illness first became
publicly known early. in the spring,
when it was announced he was unable
to take part in the Easter service. He
was said to be suffering from acute in-
digestion. His condition, which was
said to have resulted from overwork,
showed no improvement and he was
forced to give up all participation in
chureh affairs.
Right Rev. Henry <Codman Potter
was the:seventh Bishop of the Pro-
testant Episcopal diocese of New
York, which post he has held for 25
years, succeeding his uncle, Bishop
Horatio Potter. His father was
Bishop Alonzo Potter of Pennsylvania.
His grandfather was a Quaker farmer.
Bishop Henry C. Potter, who was 74
years old, married Mrs. Elizabeth
Scriven Clark, his second wife in 1902.
Bishop Potter was born in Schenec-
tary, N. Y., in 1835. He was edu-
cated chiefly at the Episcopal Acad-
emy in Philadelphia, and subsequent-
ly entered the Theological Seminary
of Virginia, from which he graduated
in 1857. He was ordained on Oecto-
ber 15, 1858.
His first incumbency
was Christ

BIG MILLS RESUME
Agreement of Republic Ircn and Steel
and Amalgamated Affects
15,000 Men.
Three thousand employes of the
Republic Iron and Steel Company re-
turned to work Sunday at the plants
in Youngstown, and it is expected
that many morc will be back on their
jobs in a few days. This follows the
final settlement of the wage question
by the company and the Amalgam-
ated. It will be recalled that. the
Republic closed down several of its
plants a few weeks ago for repairs.
It now has all its mill in good shape
and, as some good orders have been
received lately, a steady run is ex-
pected.
The signing of the wage agreement
with the Amalgamated has set at rest
a lot of rumors that the Republic had
decided to maintain an “open shop”
policy. Practically -0,000 men are
effected by the signing of the scale.
MUTINY RIFE IN TURKEY
Soidiers Rebel, Capture Train and
Openly Threaten Officers.
Vienna.—Under the leadership of
mutinous Turkish soldiers, Macedon-
ian rebels held up a military train
bound from Salenica to Uskub, kill
ed the train crew and military escort,
and carried off the ammunition found
on board the train.
After being notified of the affair,
the Turkish commander in Salonica
ordered the troops stationed in East-
ern Macedonia to Salonica, but the
soldiers rebelled and threatened
their officers with death. There is
danger that the entire second reserve
may become affected, as the ‘“Young
Turkey” idea is deeply rooted among
them. It is reported that several
German officers have been assassin-
ated.
