PARIS is IN FALMOUTH HARBOR
The stranded Liner safely Extricated
from the Rocks and Will BE
Beached for Repairs.

FALMOUTH, England, July l2.-The
American line steamship Paris entered the
harbor safely shortly after midnight. Prep
arations are being made TO beach the ship
in the tide harbor.
Owing to the more favorable weather and
the fact that such repairs as were left could
be rapidly effected the salvagers changed
their plans suddenly and started towing with
FIVE tugs, supported by three salvage boats,
for Falmouth.
Superintendent Aisbett, who has been
in charge Of the work of salving the
Paris, is greatly elated at her re-
floating. He says 1t was accom-
plished with remarkable ease. The wind
happened to make the tide foot higher than
expected and Immediately after it was per-
ceived that the steamer was af1oat steam

anchor astern was set in motion and the
Paris was speedily clear OF the rocks Dur
ing the night it's pumps materially reduced
the amount of water in the holds, the fires
will be lighted today and the Paris itself
will be able to cope with the pumping work.

bottom.

ton says no specific sum has been agreed
upon for salvage of the American line
steamer Paris but that the wrecking COM
panies will receive a stipulated percentage
of the value of the steamer when placed
in dry dock. the underwriters, OF course,
paying the bill.
The salvage association took the contract
on the basis of mo cure no pay" Hun
dreds of tons of rocks have been removed
by dynamite until the channel made be-
meath the steamer was practically the
greater part of the length of the ship.
As the Falmouth drydock cannot accommo-
date the Paris it has been decided to run
it on an unexposed sand beach in that har-
bor, where temporary repairs will be made
before going to Southampton.

SCHOOL EXHIBITS AT PARIS
Omaha Among cities which Will
Make Adequate Showing of
Educational System.

NEW YORK. July 15.-Howard j. How
ard, director Of education and social econ
omy to the the United States commission of
the Paris exposition, said today about the
exhibit being arranged for the United States:
1T is impossible to estimate how many
parts of the country will be represented in
the educat'o;nrSts xhi bits The cities which
have adequate appropriations and will be
adequately represented from the kindergar-
ten to the High school are Boston, New
York, Albany, Chicago, st. Paul, Omaha and
Denver. Other cities are preparing work in
special ways or to illustrate special features.
The educational exhibit will be distinctly ma
tional in form, although all material con-
tributed by any city or state will be prop
erly credited to that locality.
The effort is to show irrespective of state
lines the best and most advanced work
which is being done in every grade Of public
school work, and in colleges and in univer-
sity departments in the United States. To
accomplish this the exhibit will be arranged
in grades, so that in examng one can find
in one section all the primary work Of any
country, in another all the grammar school
work, and so on.
I'm the department of higher education the
same scheme will be followed and instead
of a certain definite amount being assigned
to the great universities, the space is blocked
in various departments. viz: law, medicine
theology, pure science, philosophy, language
and literature fine arts All the great uni
versities of the country are preparing ex-
hibits in two or more OF these departments
as they choose"

Welcome by Citizens.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-The United
States transports Newport and Ohio, bearing
the Oregon volunteer regiment from Manila,
arrived here this evening. The vessels were
sighted early In the afternoon and soon the
shrieking of steam whistles, the changing OF
bells and the firing OF cannon announced
that the first batch OF returning volunteers
from Manila was nearing the shores OF can
fornla. Within few minutes the streets
were thronged with people vending their
way to the docks and to the heights over
looking the bay, intent on catching a glimpse
of the transports as they steamed up the
harbor under the escort of score of ves-
sells which had been made ready for the ar
rival OF the steamers.
The roofs of the warehouses were crowded
with people and from scores of iagpoles
foated the stars and stripes. Steamers,
tugs and yachts and even small rowboats
were seen making their way as fast as pos
sble toward the Golden Gate. The reception
committees boarded tugboats and Governor
Irwin headed the committee. On the Queen
we're the harbor commissioners, the officials
of the National Guard of California and Gov
ernor Geer OF Oregon and his staff. On the
Sea Queen were the representatives of the
press, the band furnished by Mayor Phelan
and many invited guests. The revenue
cutter Golden Gate. bearing federal officials
was soon under way and it was joined by
the federal health authorities boat from
Wrange island. Then there were boats at
the disposal of the Red Cross and other So
| cieties and many chartered by private par"
| ties.
AS the transports slowly steamed up the
harbor the soldiers gathered in excited
groups on deck and some climbed into the

| played patriotic airs and the screaming OF
many steam sirens created pandemonium

antine stations. where the doctors will make

reports on resolutions, rules, etc, but the

held that no other report could be con

The speaking was resumed by S. II. Kash
with a philippe on Goebeism, in which he
denounced the Goebel election laws and
Goebels recent nomination for governor
Uncle Elijah Patrick OF Magofrin county"
was introduced, but his voice was drowned
out by the loud cheering. II. S. Irwin OF
Louisville followed with more success in
commanding attention. Many others were
called, but none OF the speakers seemed to
care for the proposition of facing such a
noisy audience.
Some of the delegates we're demonstrative
in their impatience because OF the delay of
the committee on credentials. The yelling
was checked by a recess, after which Judge
W. II. Holt of Frankfort addressed the con-
vention.

DINNER IN HONOR OF DEPEW
New York Senator Describes Impress
sions Received During His
Trip in Europe.

NEW YORK, July ia dinner was given
tonight at the Republican club in honor OF
the return from Europe of Hon. Chauncey
NJ. Depew. Mr. Depew was the principal
speaker. He said, in part:
In Europe l found that there was no SYM
pathy for Spain on account of her defeat in
the late war. l found nothing but curiosity
about the United States. The people of
Europe are wondering whether we will be
equal to the task we have undertaken in the
east. An English statesman said to me one
day: Why don't your country square
Aguinaldo. We have found In our wars with
the natives of eastern countries that they
cannot be trusted, and as soon as you make
allies Of them you will find that they will
stab you in the back. We tried the plan in
Egypt of subjugating the natives by force
of arms and then we tried another plan,
which worked successfully We found that

looking at matters of Importance was 10

200. 900 or even 100000 men to the Philippines
that spend $500 in squaring Mr.. Aguinaldo.
'In my judgment we have not appreciated
thoroughly the situation in the east. This
has been principally due to the bravery of
the men who are there. They want the
honor and glory Of fighting the contest and
winning without other aid.
81 think 1t is a mistake. We should bend
every energy and send such a force to the
Philippines as would crush out these rebels
in less than six weeks time. We should
sweep these insurrectionists before us. When
we have captured stretch of territory we
should have a force there of sufficient
strength to hold it. The war should be car
ried on in such a way as to drive Aguinaldo
and his crew into submission or into the

the Independence has reached Manila con-
tanning the speech which Aguinaldo made
during the recent celebration at Tarlac
of the anniversary OF the proclamation of
Filipino independence. In substance it is
as follows:
Filipino, beloved daughter of the ardent
sun OF the tropics. commended by Provi-
dence to the care of noble Spain, be not un-
grateful to her salute who warmed you with
the breath of her own culture and civiliza-
tion.
The fact that she sought to crush the as
pration for independence as loving mother
opposes separation forever from the daugh-
ter of her BOSOM but proves the excess OF
love and affection Spain feels for thee.
Filipino. delicate flower OF the east,
scarcely eight months weaued from the
breast of thy mother, thou hast dared to
brave great and powerful nation such as
is the United States, after barely organ
iZing and disciplning thy little army. Yet
we reply, we will be slaves to none, nor
allow ourselves to be deceived by soft words.
Let us continue to defend our fatherland
until independence is assured, for this is
justice.
We shall see at last that the great Amer
lean nation viii acknowledge the right
which is on our side. That doctrine OF the
great Monroe that America is for Ameri-
cans is not forgotten. Just as we affirm
that the Philippines are for the Filipinos.
Some statements of the American union
have arisen IN our favor Especially fs the
democratic party convinced that victors and
vanquished will lose many precious lives
