English Protection Withdrawn.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June o.
The British consul has revoked
the registration papers Of the fill
clustering steamer Bermuda. Cap
tain Clipperton gave as his reasons
for revoking the steamers papers
that she was not owned by British
subjects, but 1t is not hard to be-
lieve that the owners activity in
the Cuban cause brought about
the consul's action. The Bermuda
will now be unable to leave port
until she is registered by some
government and can go to sea fly
ing the flag Of some nation.

GOODBYE DEMOCRACY
THE OOURIER-JOURNAL GIVES UP
KENTUCKY.
SAYS the Free Silver Craze Assures Repub-
liCans the State, and Calls Tillman
and Altgelt Anarchists.

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 5.-The
Courier-Journal in an editorial
throws up both hands as far as
future democratic success in Ken
lucky Is concerned. 1t says the
state is from now on in the repub-
lican column. The editorial in
part says:
"They (the democrats) have re-
pudiated the only president the
democratic party has elected and
seated for fifty years. They have
repudisted the most distinguished
of Kentucky's living sons and the
greatest democratic intellect In the
United States. They have spit up
on the fathers of the party whose
names and organization they
claim have proclaimed Jefferson
an ignoramous; Jackson q con.
spirator; Benton a knave and
Cleveland traitor.
"For the faith handed down
through hundred years OF glo-
rious party history, they have SUBJ
stituted fad rejected by every in
telligent civilization on the globe
and for the opponents Of that faith
they have substituted such apos-
ties OF populism as Stewart; such
exhorters of socialism as Tillman
and evangels Of an archism as Alt
geld.
saturdays work makes Ken
lucky republican for years. Before
Saturday Brsdleyism was dead,
but Saturday made 1t possible for
any republican to carry Kentucky
over q party which binds itself
over the corpse of free silverism.
The one chance now for Kentucky
democracy Is that the Chicago con-
ventiop shall not ratify its stupen-
dous blunder and that chance
seems all too remote"

four students of the sophomore class
of Lafayette college have been sus-
pended for hazing and that others are
On the list. The men suspended are
all cast for prominent parts in the
sophomore play that was to be given
at commencement, and in conse-
quence the performance, it is said,
will be abandoned. The .hazings are
a surprise, as the college authorities
are very strict about this offense.

badly frightened by discharge of
fireworks. Another, it is said, was
initiated into a new fraternity and
that he was branded with lighted ci-
CARS as part of the performance.
Several of the higher classmen are

POWDER TRUST.
A COMBINE THAT FREEZES OUT THE
LITTLE FELLOWS.
Prices 60 up simultaneously in all Three
as a Result of the Agreement.
Has Big Backing.

New YORK, June 6.-The Herald
this morning says: What looks
like a powder trust is now in opera
tion, backed by many millions OF
dollars and virtually controlled by
three big manufacturing concerns,
which will increase the price of
that commodity. The three con-
Germs are Latin & Rand Powder
company; the Hercules Powder
company; and the Dupont-Dem-
orsis Powder company, all Of this
city. The price OF rifle powder, or
what is called short powder, has
advanced from 1926 a keg to 81 by
the effects of this combination,
while blasting powder has been ad.
vsnced from 50 to 1925 and other
grades have been advanced accord
ingly.
The combination went into effect
on June l. Although the officials
Of these companies say there was
no agreement between them, the
fact that the prices were advanced
on the same day to the same fig
ures might seem to indicate other
wise.
The Phoenix Powder company, in
the Havemeyer building, is one OF
the first of the 20 odd smaller con-
Germs to surrender to the larger
fellows. Its present officers are to
be replaced by others named by the
combination.
The treasurer, Van Wyckes, said
the transfer has taken place at the
end of May and gave as a reason
that the company could not stand
out three larger concerns.
ave have all we could do to
make both ends meet" said he,
and the mbination was too much

The other officers were reticent
and would not talk about the for.
nation of q trust, but talked freely
about the advance in the price oil
powder.
The power companies have beer
losing money for the past severa
months owing to falling off In
prices.
Another officer said the powder
house had been running at a Loss
for some time and decided to raise
prices.
Mr.. Haskell, of Daflin & Rand
said, among other things, in effect,
that now the firms have deter
mined to manufacture powder at a
profit. We had many millions OF
dollars invested and were COM
PEELED to raise prices.
