CLEVELAND, July 2S.-Slowly and
surely law and order are triumphing
over lawIessness and disorder and the
city is beginning to resume it's old ap-
pearance. To-day the street cars were
we'll patronized, especially during the
busy hours of the morning and even

cation that the city government is win

Mayor Farley is we'll pleased with the
situation, but he has not relaxed ms
vigilance one whit and will not until
the last vestige of disorder is wiped
away. The Mayor and Adjutant Gen
eral Axline are at present involved IN
a controversy over what the troops

The adiutant general is of the opinion
that the duty of the Natlonal Guara Is Is
merely to put down rioting and not TO

plans are not interfered with by any
one. He declares that he is to be the
Judge as to when the troops are not

There have been several outbreaks
between Mayor Farley and Ad1utant
General Axline within the last few
days over this question. To-day the
Mayor refused to discuss the difficulty,
saying that this was no time to stir
up any discord.

AS WITNESSED
BY G.. A. GIBSON

Charles A. Gibson, assistant treasurer
for ]. D. Spreckels & Bros. Co, who re-
turned yesterday from the Hawaiian
Islands, was a spectator of the volcanic
eruptions on Mauna Loa. When the flow
commenced he was a guest at the Volcano
House, thirty miles distant from the era
ter, and subsequently approached close to
the scene of the fiery disturbances. Said
he:
about o'clock on the morning of July
we were walked by the cook of the Vol
cano House. He was probably one of the
first persons to notice the eruption, and
his attention was attracted to it by pc
culiar ruddy glare which burst into the
kitchen of the hotel The sight 1 shall
never forget. 1t was grandly spectacular.
From a point two miles distant from the
old crater on Mauna Loa, which had been
cool for nearly twenty years, flame was
shooting hundreds of feet into the air. The

VI the steamship Britannia to-day,
after six months spent in Italy,
France, Belgium, England and
Ireland.
Archbishop Ireland's trip assumed
almost international significance, owing
to the generally accepted belief that he
carried a message from the Catholics
of America to the Pope regarding the
probable attitude of this Government
toward the Catholic church in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. Added
interest is obtained because the Arch
bishop has been regarded as the fore
most representative of "Americanism,"
which recently called down the denun-
citation of European ecclesiastics, and
later was the subject of Papal COM
munication. During his sojourn abroad
Archbishop Ireland was received every

A LAKE PILOTS LEG.

How 1t Solved the Mystery Of as,
Wreck of IA Steam Propeller.
We are never amazed when vessels
go aground and are wrecked On Lake
Erie during the gales that are common
on that treaoherous water, for we ex
poet such things then, !" said lake
skipper "but when one is grounded on
clear day and wrecked on course as
clear as the day in the hands Of a pilot
that knows the ground like a book we
naturally wonder little and want to
know the why's and wherefores. Such
was the case of the propeller Susan E.
Peck that went aground near Bar point
and was lost with $40, 900 cargo
"The captain of the Susan E. had
sailed successfully hundreds of times
between Point Pelee and Bar point and
in all kinds of weather, and this time
he had wheelman who was known
from one end of the lake to the other as
one Of the most expert navigators in
the lake business He had been lying
up a long time, for the very good reason
that owing to an accident to one of his
legs that leg had to be amputated to
save his life. The lost member was re-
placed by an artificial leg, and then the
pilot was ready to take his post at the
wheel again. His first service after his
misfortune was this trip Of the Susan
e. Peck, and he ran her aground
"The puzzle to everybody was how
it WAS possible for the propeller, han
died by a man of such skill and expert
enee, on a straight course only 40 miles
long and with every sailing condition
favorable, to leave her course. The pilot
was the most puzzled and astounded
person of all. He soon got another yes
sci, and this one he ran in such an err
ratio manner, but fortunately with no
disastrous result, that he was compelled
to give her up, and his usefulness as
pilot was gone. He and others went to
investigating to see il they could dis
cover what was wrong with his sea-
manship.
After awhile they discovered what
they believed was the trouble. In the
pilots artificial leg a great deal of steel
had been used in the joints and other
places Sitting close to the pinnacle, as
he did while steering, this steel derang-
ed the compass so that it threw the
wheelman way off his reckoning and
led to the wrong plotting that had
wrecked the Susan E. Peck and endan-
gered the other vessel that the wheel
man navigated subsequently, This was
what they argued, and to demonstrate
the correctness of the theory the pilot
took charge Of a vessel without wear
ing his false leg. Everything worked to
charm. The mystery of the Susan E.
Peck was solved, and the pilot was re-
stored to his old place in the confidence

the bride is the center of all interest.
The bride is the goddess to whom ali
