approve any of the Mayors appoint
ments, though he named pretty much
all the officers and ordered the old IN
cumbents to get out, which they have
refused to do. Friday night he sum
moned large posse, and with his APP
pointees went to the city headquarters
and threw the chiof and policemen into
| the street and barricaded the doors.
The people are tremendously excited
over the affair.
Blanks are prepared at the Treasury
Department for use of persons who
have claims against the government
for the refund Of the income tax. The
refund will be made under section 1920
OF the Revised Statutes. which author
ICES the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue., on appeal, to refund all taxes err
roneously or illegally collected. Few
claims have as yet been filed, probably
because the claimants haye been wait
ing for official information on the SUBJ
ject. Every dollar of the income tax
already collected will be repaid to the
persons from whom the collections were
made.
During the earthquake at Laibach
some persons Kept their wits about
them sufficiently to observe the extra
ordinary behavior of animals. Several
minutes before the. first shock ali owl
began to cry out as if for help in an
uhearthly voice, sparrows and other
birds huttered aimlessly about, and
horses long before the first shock oc-
Cured began to tremble violently, some
FALLING on their knees. Dogs howled
the whole night through, and when a
shock was near their yelping was pierre
ing and unnatural. At Florence there
was great deal of terror, particularly.
1T is said, among English women, who
kept asking when another shock might
be expected. Oneyoung woman asked
the proprietor of her clearinghouse
which floor would fall in first, and WIS
displeased with his grutf response that
he was neither God nor prophet"
1t will seem TO most transporting
readers that Lord Rosebery has made
record" in winning two successive
Derbies. This is not quite the case.
Lord Falmouth won two, but they were
seven years apart. The precedent for
the Prime Minister was set by the
Duke of Portland, who won the Derby
Of 1883 with Ayrshire and of 1889 with
Donovan. The Duke, however, was
not i'll politics. 1t reIkaius to be seen
what effect Lord RoseDery's e1cep-
tional luck AS II sportsman will have
upon his precariOus position AZ a poll
tician. 1t would not hurt Tory Prem
Ter to win two Derbies running, except,
perhaps, with the Liberal Unionlsts of
Birmingham, but q Liberal Premier is
i'll different situation. Ladas gave q
great blow TO the seriousminded and
and evangelical among Lord Rosebery's
constituents. 1t is to be apprehended
that Sir Visto will finish his owner by
showing how obdurate and contuma-
cious are his worldliness and frivolity.
Two blue ribbons are too much even
for reformed drunkard, much more
for IL Liberal leader.-New Y DIRK Times.
The Lincoln monument will be form
ally transferred to the state of Illinois
this Thursday night. Some time ago,
by joint resolution, the legislature ap-
pointed Speaker Meyer, Lieutenant
Governor Gill, and G. e. Brown as Il
committee to make the necessary al
engagements. Speaker Meyer, owing to
indisposition. was unable to meet with
the commlttee today, and appointed
w. e. Cochran to act in his place.
This appointment Is very satisfactory
to the old soldiers and Il graceful rec
ognition of gallant soldier, u distin-
guiShed member of the General AS
sembly, al able lawyer, and a we'll
known citizen. The committe at it's
meeting chose Nj. Cochran to preside
at the final transfer ceremonies, which
it was decided should be held in the
house Of representatives this Thurs
day evening. On that occasion there
will be addresses by Ex-Governor Rich

address, and Major George 5. Roper, OF
Rockford, will be invited to be present.
The announcement made recently
that the Prince of Wales will visit
Newport the last of August is verified
by the report that the Prince will come
as the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Ogden
Goelet. The Goelet villa is now being
redecorated, and it is said that a suite
will be especially furnished for the
Prince. Mr.. and Mrs. Goelet have been
