RACINE composed his verses while
walking about, reciting them in loud
voice.
SULBY is said to have been able to
dictate to four secretaries at time

verses composed by him between the
autumnal and spring equinoxes were
always the best.

the roar of battle in his ears, for the

BENTLEY composed after playing a
prelude on the organ, or while taking

THE ooLUMHUB CELEBRATION.
sailing of the Santa Msria from the Port
Of Palos, Spain.

PALos, Aug. Yesterday was the
400th anniversary of the day on which
Columbus set sail from Palos westward
on his voyage of discovery, and the fes-
tivities arranged here for celebrating
the day were carried out successfully.
AT o'clock, the hour at which CO.
lnmbus began his voyage. the caraval
Banta Maria, constructed In imitation
of the vessel of that name belonging to
the Columbus expedition, set her sails
for her passage through the lines of war
ships anchored outside the bar, but, ow-
ing to the prevalence of dead calm,
line was run to her from gunboat, and
she was towed down stream, followed
by the Spanish fiotilla in single file. Min
lister of Marine Montigo was on board
the warship Legaspi.
The voyage down the river past the
monastery of Larabida, on which build
ing the flags of all the American states
were flying, to the bar, occupying about
an hour.
Outside the bar were moored the ves-
sells of the foreign squadrons which had
come to take part in the celebration.
These vessels were formed in lines be-
tween which the caraval passed amid
laundering salutes and deafening cheers.
The caraval followed for some distance
the route taken by Columbus 400 years
ago, and then re-entered the river. The
town of Huelva is crowded with visi-
tors, and all the buildings, both private
and public, are gaily decorated.

Hut 1t Is Quickly Suppressed by the
Troops at Homestead.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 4.-When 1t
became known in Homestead that dep
uties had entered the Carnegie Steel
works with warrants for the arrest of
Nevin, Mcconnell and James Doyey on
the charge of murder strikers to the
number Of several hundred gathered in
the vicinity of the works, but were dis
persed. On the depot platform was a
crowd of strikers, who began jeering
the prisoners The few militiamen and
deputies found themselves unable to
handle the excited throng, and the sit
uation grew serious. Word was sent to
General Wiley. Five minutes later a
company from the Fifteenth regiment
arrived, fixed bayonets and charged
upon the crowd and arrested Thomas
Bowen, who had brandished knife.
When the train pulled up Messrs.
Doyey and Mcdonnell, with several con-
stables and deputies, stepped aboard.
Major Crawford requested the two dep
uties to take Bowen to Pittsburg and
lock him up. This was not relished by
the crowd, which made move as if to
attempt Bowen's rescue, but the blue
coats drove the crowd back. Major
Crawford detailed eigat members of his
command to do duty on the train.

VIII Not be Allowed to Garry Petro-
leum in the Suez Canal.

LONDON, Aug 4.--The Suez canal com.
pany has informed the Russian govern
ment that the provisional regulations as
regards the petroleum trade through the
canal will be reconsidered; meantime
the passage Of petroleum in tank steam
ships will not be allowed. The latter
part of this statement by the company
Is understood to be concession to the
North of England Steamship Owners
association. The association believes
that the tank steamships would endan-
the whole trade of the canal, particu-
larly during the warm months. The de-
cision, while most important to the
American trade, which sends two-thirds
OF the petroleum to the east lis extremely
distasteful to Russia, which sends to
India alone $40, ,000, 900 worth annually.
The permission to pass tank steam
ships is thought in Russia to be the one
thing needed to develop the Black sea
petroleum trade and to render the Baku
oil fields formidable to the Standard
Oil company, of the United States. 10
Is claimed by the Russians that the Suen
Canal company has no power to exclude
any commodity from the canal To this
the company answer that they are not
excluding petroleum, but only regulate
ing the conditions of transport; that is,
providing for transport in case instead
of in bulk.
