when he did so, seven years ago last
November, the queen Of England had
reigned 50 years. However, Prince
Adolph had assembled the throne of Mas

therefrom by the victorious Prussians
in 1866. The then duke of Nassau mar
RED in 1874, Grand Duchess Elizabeth
Michaelowna of Russia, who died in the
following year, and, secondly, the pres
ent grand duchess, Princess Adelaide
of Anhalt, in 1851. OF the latter mar
rage there are two children, the hered-
itary Grand Duke William and Princess
Hilda. The latter is the wife of the
hereditary grand duke of Baden, and
the former married, in 1894,
Infanta Maria Anna of Braganza, and
of this marriage there are three daugh-
tiers. 1t would therefore seem that by
some strang irony of fate the crown and
splendid domains of Luxembourg may at
some future time revert to the Dutch
crown, whence they were separated on
the accession of Queen Wilhelmina in
1890; for, whilst a woman may reign
in Holland, she cannot do so in LuXem-
burg. During the seven years of the
grand dukes reign he has done much

ception to the homecoming Tenth Re-
giment, Pennsylvania volunteers, was

And Was Running at Unusual Speed
The Bridgeport Disaster Investigation.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, August s.
The coroner's inquest to determine the
responsibility for the trolley car acct
dent at Stratford on Sunday, by which
20 persons were killed, was begun to-
day. VIM. N. Peck, the first witness,
who lives near the scene of the acct
dent, said he had not seen the wrecked
car approach the bridge from which it
fell, and he therefore could not testify
as to its speed. Mr. Peck said he had
noticed the bridge several days before
the accident, and at that time the ap-
preach seemed to be "out Of true"
Miss Frances E. Peck said she saw
the car before it reached the bridge,
and in her opinion it was running
faster than any she had seen since the
opening of the line.
Miss Kittie Taylor, of Bridgeport,
who was in house near the Peck
home, said the car that was wrecked

Make Serious Representations Concerning
the Louisiana Lynchings,
WASHINGTON, August S.-The State
Department has received from the Ital-
ian authorities a copy of the report
made by the Marquis Romano. secretary
of the Italian embassy, on his investlga-
ton of the lynching of five Italians in
Louisiana. The report presents the af-
fair in a serious light and shows that
the Italian authorities view the occur
renee as one of unusual atrocity. 1t
contends that there were no mitigating
circumstances; that DR.. Hodges first
drew a weapon, and that the first shot
fired by De Fatta was in defense of his
fallen brother, and not a wantOn at
tack. Describing the affair in detail,
the report points out that some time
after the first two men were lynched
the mob made a second and then third
visit to the Jail from whence they re-
moved and lynched the three other Ital-
ians, all of whom, it is contended, were
in utter ignorance of the assault on DR..
Hodges. Conceding some eXtenuating
circumstances in the lynching of the
two men Immediately concerned in Dr..
Hodges assault, Marquis Romano con-
tends that the lynching of the other
three was thing of particular atroclty.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y. August s.
The war in the Philippines is to be
prosecuted with a vigor that ought to
result in speedy cessation of hostilities
there. The correspondent of the As
ISOLATED Press saw Secretary of War
Root tonight in the Office of the Hotel
Champlain just after he had said good
bye to the President and was prepar-
ing to take the 9:45 train for Wash
ington.
will the war in the Philippines be
prosecuted vigorously from now on?"
asked the Associated Press correspond
ent.
Mr.. Root turned on his heel and re-
piled quick as flash:
Eyes sir, the war in the Philippines
from now on will be prosecuted with
all possible energy All the men, all
the arms and all the supplies necessary
to end the trouble in the islands will
be furnished at the earliest possible
moment"
How large a force will be at the dis
posal of the commanding general
there?" was asked.
There will be fifty thousand men
there ready for active service at the
close OF the rainy season, about the
last of October and more will be sent
there if necessary"
AS to the rumor published in some
OF the papers that President Mckinley
and he were not agreeable upon the
policy to be pursued in the Philippines,
Mr. Root said:
"Of course that is all nonsense"
When asked whether Gen. Otis would
he relieved of the command Of the
American forces in the Philippines, Mr..
Rot replied that he had nothing to say
on that point at this time It would
be impossible for any one to be more
emphatic and determined than Secre-
tary Root is in his avowed policy of
ending the trouble in the Philippines
He seldom talks for publication and
the fact that he had just come from
two days conference with President
Mckinley adds interest to his words.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley en-
Joyed sail on Lake Champlain this
morning on board the yacht Elfrida.
They were accompanied by Vice Pres
ident and Mrs. Hobart, Miss Duncan,
Secretary of War Elihu Root, Captain
and Mrs. Buckingham, DR.. and Mrs
Rixey, Private Secretary Cortelyou and
Mr.. Forster. They sailed out around
Crab Island and out toward Grand Isle
and returned to the Valcour channel.
Later the President and Secretary Root
while paying a visit to Plattsburg bar
racks, where he witnessed the regimen
tai drill of the Twenty-sixth regiment,
promised to issue an order to allow a
detachment of soldiers from the Tween
ty-sixth regiment to attend the cere-
monies at the burial of the seven men
who met death with John Brown in his
raid on the United States arsenal at
