What Jewellers Know About Sterling Silver.

The factC. that twelve of the largest dry goods stores in New York have been indicted for selling bogus Sterling sll- yer should be q fair warning to the New Haven public to buy their goods from q SILVERTHAU & SONS, 790 Chapel street, who have spent 40 years hand ling gold and silver, and their prices are the lowest that honest goods can be sold for. Diamonds and Wedding Gifts are their specialtles. We know nothing about dry goods, but 1t is easy to see How Little Dry Goods Stores
 Know About Sterling Silver.

CORNELL BOYS. PLEASED.
Crew that is to Enter the Henley Re-
gatta is in Comfortable
Quarters.


Henley-o Thames, Eng, June 6.-The
Cornell crew of oarsmen which is to COM
pete at the Henley regatta in the contest
for the grand visitors challenge cup ar
rived here from Southampton today and
the members were greatly pleased with
the quarters which Commodore w. T.
Hastings of the Cornell navy secured for
them on the hill at Underwood, a pretty
little place overlooking the Thames and
situated about a quarter of mile from
here. The shells arrived here with the
crew and after they had been carefully
examined everybody was pleased to see
that they had sustained no damage dur
ing the trip across the Atlantic on board
the Paris. The weather this afternoon
is beautiful and the villagers assembled
in force on the banks of the Thames
when the crew took their first spin over
the course. The young men created
favora BILE impression among the onlOok-
ers, but the expert Britishers ashore ex-
pressed the opinion that they were too
light.
When asked about the alleged lightness
of the crew, one of. the members said:
"They were selected with that very thing
in view If we win here we must do so
in a squirt and the lightness will be an
advantage. The boys are greatly pleased
with all of Hastings arrangements"
Commodore w. T. Hastings of the Cor
nell navy, said eve have our own SER
wants, do our own catering and cooking
and the house selected for the quarters
of the crew is in every way convenient

SPAIN ENTERS PROTEST.
Wants the United States to Look
After Filibustering Ex-
petitions.

Washington, D. c., June 6.-Mr. De
LONE, the Spanish minister to the United
States, has called the attention of the
state department to allegations that fill
clustering expeditions against Spanish
authority in Cuba are being fitted out in
the bayous of the lower Mississippi river
The communication also states that
armed citizens of some of the Southern
states often paraded with arms with a
view of joining some of these outgoing
expeditions, or at least to give active en-
enlargement to the Cuban insurrection-
lists. Some of the statements were too
meager for present official action. 1t is
believed at the department that there is
little truth in the reports which reach
here from the South Of the fitting out Of
warlike expeditions against Cuba, but
should it be shown that expeditions are
being organized, which come within the
prohibitions Of international law and our
treaties with Spain, there will be no de-
lay in bringing the parties concerned to

PRAISE HERMAN KOEHLER.
Board of Visitors Commends His
Work at West Point ACad-
6n0V. ef

Washington, D. c., June 5.-[Special.]
The report of the board of visitors to
the West Point Military academy, of
which board e. G. Wall of Milwaukee
was member, is being distributed. The
report speaks in terms of high praise Of
the work Of Herman j. Koehler, the Mil
waukee boy who is employed at the acad-
envy as instructor in gymnastics and
workmanship. The following is an ex-
tract from the report of the committee
on hygiene and athletics:
"The daily infantry and cavalry drills,
the sword exercise and fencing, excited
our admiration. But only the systematic
examination measurement and testing of
each man will reveal accurately wherein
he eXcels and wherein he lacks, and pre-
scribed gymnastic exercise will repress
the excess in one direction and remedy
the deficiency in another The universal
testimony to the great efficiency of Mr..
Koehler, who at present is in charge of
such gymnastics, has given much pleas
ure to the committee. Exercise in the
gymnasium as prescribed course is limit
ed to the first year in the academy and
has produced admirable results. Unless
found impracticable we would recon-
mend that such exercise should extend
through the entire four years"
The board of visitors recommends that
the rank of first lieutenant of infantry be
conferred unon Mr. KOehler

REBELS ARE SUCCESSFUL.
Republic of Ecuador OVerthrOWn-
Town of GuayaQuil
CAPTURED.

Washington, D. c., June 6.-News of
the success of the revolutionists in Ecua-
dor came to the lazy department today
in a cablegram from Capt. Watson OF
the Ranger, which warship is now at
Guayaquil. The cablegram is dated at
Guayaquil yesterday and reads as fol
lows:
''rhe insurgents have possession of the
city. Gov.-Gen. Flores has resigned.
Ignacio Robes G1iberaD has been pro-
claimed military and civil general. Ev-
erything. is quiet at present Com
munication with Quito by telegraph is
interrupted"
The last statement explains why the
state department has heard nothing of the
progress of the revolution from United
States Minister Tilman, who should have
arrived at his post at Quito some time
ago.
Ecuador has been in a turbulent state
for some time past and much dissatls-
faction was expressed by the people gen
orally at the conduct of the government
This was fomented by the transfer of
the celebrated CHILEAN cruiser Esmeralda
to Japan under cover of the Ecuadorean
flag early in the spring, and since that
event there have been several revoiu-
tionary outbreaks, eliminating in this
last successful attempt to overthrow
the government, for it is believed that
Guayaquil and the other principal coast
cities having fallen into the hands Of tie
revolutionists, their complete success
will be only matter of a few days.

MORE TROOPS FOR CUBA.
Spanish Chamber of Deputies will
Give Campos Ten Extra
BattaIiOnS.

Madrid, June 6.-Capt.-Gen. Martinez
de Campos has sent cable message to
the Spanish government announcing
that several insurgent leaders are ex-
pected to effect landing in Cuba short
", and he adds that owing to fresh dis
turbances on the island and the invasion
of the province of Santa Clara by the
Cuban insurgents he wants q reinforce
ment of six battalions of infantry. The
cabinet after thoroughly discussing the
situation from all it's standpoints has de-
cided to send ten additional battalions of
infantry to Cuba without delay.
The Republicans in the Chamber of
Deputies today formulated a resolution
asking the government to respect free
discussion of Spanish affairs, particularly
referring to the instruction in Cuba
but the resolution was rejected by the
overwhelming majority of 1872 to 10.
The condition of Gen. Primarivera, the
captain-general of Madrid, who was
seriously wounded by Capt. Clavajo on
Monday last, for which crime the latter
was executed yesterday, shows consid-
cradle Improvement today.

REAR END COLLISION.
Engineer. Fireman and Conductor
Killed in Wreck in

Shamokin. Pa, June 6.-Elwood Moves,
engineer; Elias Bolts, conductor, and
William Klease, fireman, all of Tama-
qua and part of the crew Of the Phila
delphia & Reading freight train No. SO,
were instantly killed by rear-end col
lision early this morning. The freight
train ran into a trainload of soft coal
cars. The wreck occurred on a heavy
grade at a sharp curve in the road and
it one of the worst wrecks that have oc-
Cured here for many years. About thir-
ty cars were piled on top of each other,
blocking both the north and southbound
tracks. The body of Kiease was recov-
cred shortly after the wreck, but the
wrecking crews ~--~ not reach the bodies
of Bolts and Moves until several hours
after the accident. Both men were
buried beneath tons Of wreckage and their
bodies were terribly mangled. It is
thought that the freight train was run
ming away when the crash came. The
tracks were torn up for quite a distance
at the point where the wreck occurred.

TURKEY REFUSES.
viii Not Make Proposed Reforms
in Armenia-The Powers Say
She Shall.

Constantinople, June 4.-The reply Of
the Turkish government to the notes of
representatives. of Great Britain, France
and Russia in regard to the proposed re-
forms in Armenia has been delivered to
the ENJOYS. The Porte's answer is not
satisfactory. The Turkish government
does not agree to the principle Of control
of the proposed reforms by the powers.
the three powers held a meeting at which
they decided to refer the whole matter t.
their respective governments.
The position is very serious, as the
last week the British embassy informed
the Porte that Great Britain had re-
solved not to accept any notifications of
the propositions affecting reforms in Ar
menia The representatives of the other
powers have made the same declaration
to the Porte.
The reply of the Turkish government
causes surprise and it is thought tina t
such an answer would not have been
given without encouragement from some
other European power. But the presence
of the British Mediterranean squadron,
consisting of seventeen ships, at Beyrout
points to an agreement between Great
Britain, France and Russia to force Tur-
key to comply with the demands of tho
powers.
Consequently interesting news may be
shortly be flashed from Beyrout, where
it is believed the British feet will be
called upon to support the demands Of the
three powers The measures which Great
Britain, France and Russia insist upon
as preliminary to reform include the APP
pointment of high commissioner fol
Armenia, general amnesty and for res
lease of all political prisoners the revis-
ion of certain judgments and the appoint
ment of a commission to set at Constan-
tinople charged with the application Of
the reforms and working in concert with
the high commissioner.
1t is also demanded by the powers that
the governors and vice-governors of Van,
Enzeroum, Civas, Bitlis, Khartul and
Trebizonde be Christian or Mussulman ac-
cording as the population of these places
is inclined. In any case, however, either
the governor or vice-governor of the
places named is to be a Christian and
the appointment of those officials is to be
approved by the powers.

PANIC AT FLORENCE.
Earthquake Shocks at Florence.
Italy, Drives People Into
the Streets.

Florence, June 6.-There was sharp
earthquake shock here at 30 this morn
ing. 1t aroused almost everybody hasti-
~ from their beds and when it was fol-
lowed by a succession of other subterra-
neous disturbances the people became
panic-stricken and rushed in terror to the
streets, where they remained for hours,
greatly alarmed. Although it is not be-
Heved that any serious damage was done
the inhabitants of this city, not having
recovered from the panic which followed
the big earthquake of Saturday, May -,
were with difficulty persuaded to return
to their homes.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
the streets shortly after the earthquake
shocks, whole families remaining huddled
together guarding their most valuable
possessions which they had carried With
them in their flight from their homes
Many people fell on their knees IN the
middle of the streets and prayed, While
others seemed too terrified to do any
thing but rush about and add to the
feeling of panic which prevailed. The
entire police force of the city was prompt
ly turned out and the authorities did ey-
erything possible to allay the alarm. So
far as known the shocks were only Sc
we're enough to shake down movable ar
ticleS from shelves, sideboards etc. al
though there was considerable swaying
OF houses. particularly in certain dis
tricts of the city where the shocks seem
to have been more severely felt than in
others. The guests of the different hotels
seem to have been the least alarmed of
ALL although they were hastily aroused
from their beds by. the shocks. The ma
jority Of them retained their presence of
mind, and beyond looking to the safety
of their valuables in case of having to
leave the hotels suddenly, no great panic
prevailed among them.

THE KENRICK MIDDLE.

that He Has Been De-

concerning the archdiocese of st. Louis,
/ will give you the dispatch to be pub
Gshed and those who read it are at lib

have nothing further to say.
The following copy is the translation
of the cablegram read at the cathedral
last Sunday and explains everything.
signed to the dispatch, is the papal sec
rotary:
Rome, May 24.-Archbishop Kahn, 1910
Lindells boulevard, st. Louis, Mo-. By
late decree of the 21st inst, forwarded to
you; the sovereign pontiff has transferred
Archbishop Kenrick to another archepisco-
pal see, and named you archbishop of st.
Louis. The letter is on the way. (Signed)
Ledochowski.
According to this John Joseph Kahn is
archbishop of st. Louis, while the ven
cradle Richard Peter Kenrick, who has
had direct charge of the diocese for near
~ ffty-two years, has been transferred to
an archepiscopal see in the far East,
probably to Drosa. The title of Arch
bishop of Drosa is an empty one, carry
ing no responsibility and serving merely
to allow archbishops to die in the high
Office of the church.
Archbishop Kain, when seen by an As
ISOLATED press representative today, was
not inclined to talk. He, however, dipped
pen in ink and wrote: ''To ascertain
with certainty whether there is any doubt
of my appointment as archbishop of st.
Louis, l yesterday cabled the cardinal
project of the propaganda, and the follow
ing reply has just been received:

In my telegram of May "a l announced to
you that you had been created by the holy
father archbiship of st. Louis The usual
brief [bulll will be expedited. What more do
you wish?

This settles the position which Arch
bishop Kahn will henceforth hold in this
community. 1t is now determined be-
yond doubt that Archbishop Kenrick has
been superseded, and that after all the
discussion over the affairs of the diocese
there has actually been change in the
archbishopric The decree has not yet
arrived from Rome, but is expected in a

BLACK FOREST FLOOD.
Many Persons Drowned by Fall
of Water from a Cloud


Stuttgart, June G.--Thcre was tire
noendous cloudburst yesterday evenisg
over the Wurtemberg portion OF the
Black Forest district, causing destruction
of property. The downfall of water
caused the River Eyach to rise and many
houses at Ballingen Frommer, Dirrwange

sons are missing and it is feared they
were drowned in the flood. Ten persons
were drowned at Ballingen, seven at
Frommer and nine persons are missing IN

Rhine and Neckar. In many places it is
800 feet above the sea. The Danube,

BRING TURKS TO TIME.
The Porte Shows Signs of Weak
ening i'm the Armenian
Difficulty.

Constantinople, June 6.-The situation
of affairs so far as the settlement of ques>
tons in dispute between the Turkish gov
eminent and the representatives of the
powers regarding the reform in Armenia
IS concerned shows considerable improve
nent today This improvement is un.
oubtedly due to the firm attitude of the
,owers in positively refusing to accept
my modification of the programme which
has been mapped out for the improvement
of the condition of Armenia.
The Turkish minister for foreign af-
fairs, Said Pasha has paid frequent visits
to the British embassy since the reply of
the Porte to the note of the powers was
delivered and it is hoped that it will result
in persuading the Sultan to accept the
incident of the assault made upon the
French officer by Turkish officer may be
regarded as closed, for the Turkish gov
eminent has assured the French embassy
that it will accord full satisfaction and
that an indemnity will be paid to the
French officer In addition, his assailant
will be tried before military tribunal and
punished if found guilty
Advices received here from Jiddah today
show that there is no Improvement in that
portion of the question between the Turk
ish government and the powers. The
news received her today confirms the
statements, made exclusively in these dis
patches yesterday, that the sanitary regula>
tons insisted upon by the powers in order
to prevent the introduction of cholera into
Europe by pilgrims returning from Mecca
were at the bottom of the recent murder
Gus assaults upon the consular representa-
tives Of Great Britain, France and Russia.
The riotous Bedouins have ruined the
cholera hospital erected at Jiddah for the
care of sick pilgrims travelling to and
from Mecca. The Turkish garrison at
Jiddah has been resurrected but the for,
eign population will remain on board the
ships in the harbor until the arrival of the
warships of the powers when their safe
ty will be guaranteed and order restored.

RENEWED ACTIVITY.
There is Less Uncertainty About the Iron
Market.

Cleveland, O., June 6.-The Iron Trade
Review this week will say:
Another week of expanding demand in the
iron trade and of further advances in pig
iron and some lines of finished material has
added strength to an already strong situa-
ton. Heavy sales of Bessemer pig iron at
Pittsburg and in the valleys have been the
chief incident of the week, the market hay
ing gone to So, PittSburg.
While the leading Pittsburg interest has
been large buyer at figures somewhat be-
low the above, there are furnaces now hold
ing for 80 in tn valley, the equivalent of
SO. 10, Pittsburg. The establishment of a ba-
sis for the second half year is an interesting
fact about these transactions and there are
coke deals involved which indicate that some
furnaces at least will not pay S1.50 for fuel
in the next six months Indications are
that $1.35, the nominal price today will be
close to the actual basis for the summer and
fall Now that the situation as to Besse-
mer iron and coke has been somewhat
cleared up, there will be a renewal of act
ivity in steel and other products about which
there has been uncertainty to the third quar-
ter Of the year
