HIGH JOINTS ANXIOUS.
They Want to Know What They Are
Expected to Do.

Washington, July 15.-Secretary John
w. Foster returned to Washington this
morning and called upon Secretary Hay
to ascertain what the prospects are for
the re-assembling Of the joint high
Canadian commission of which he is a.
member, on the second of August. The
secretary was unable to assure Gen.
Foster on this point and it was de-
cided that he should remain in Wash
ingtOn until Senator Fairbanks arrival
next week when a conference will be
held to finally determine upon a line
of action and to frame formal notice
to the British government respecting
the reasons for declination on the
part of our ministers to be in Ottawa on
August 2. The officials are rather ex-

END OF KINGSHIP.
Monarchy In Samoa Will Never Be
Restored.

Washington, July 15.-It is stated in
quarters intimately acquainted with the
recent conduct of Samoan affairs that
the abolition of the kingship in Samoa
has advanced considerab bly, further than
a provisional arrangement by the Sa-
moan commission and that the three
governments have 50 far acquiesced that
this feature is assured as a part of the
permanent system for the government
of Samoa. 1t is said also that the re-
port of the Samoan commission is likely
to be unanimous so that further action
by the three governments in framing a
treaty will be largely a fOrmality.

PINGREE is BEATEN.
Can't Muster Enough Votes to Over
ride Mayors Veto.

Detroit, Mich, July 15.-Tt was con-
cIuded on all sides this afternoon that
the Pingree-JOhnsOn plan for the pur-
chase of the street railways is defeated.
There is now no possibility of muster
ing enough votes of aldermen to pass
the desired ordinances over the may
Or's veto. Several of the aldermen who
voted for the security of the franchise
have now decided that the risk of fail
ure to pay for the roads out of cent
fare receipts is too great to incur with
reasonable safety. Another attempt in
the same direction will doubtless be
made at some future time. Three cent
fares were still in vogue today. Tom
L. Johnson left for New York this af-
ternOOn.

the response to the address Of welcome
was by Prof. F. H. Crago, Of Wheeling.
The famous Rlnggold battalion was a

fore the war. after an interesting COM
test between the late Hud Williams

Keys representing Bentleysville, Capt.
John Keys was elected. When the
war broke out Captain Keys offered
the company to the war department at

was given the command. The name OF
Ringgold, however, always stuck to the
battalion.

New York Sun: The tearing down
of the old buildings, SO, 95 and 81 Cher
ry street, to make way for modern
structure, removes a landmark vaguely
associated in the annals of the neigh.
brohood with the days of the American
revolution. When Washington made
his headquarters at Roosevelt and
Cherry streets, the local historians
declare, he stored in these old build.
ings munitions of war supplies for his
army. The historians of Cherry Hill
then skip the intervening years until
period beginning fifteen or twenty
years ago is reached. The buildings
were then occupied as resorts for sail
ors The Loopey gang, which once
threw man into the river for cents,
made its headquarters in the neignpor-
hood. Near by was Sneepy's alley,
leading from Roosevelt to Cherry
street, in which Roosevelt street resi-
dent declares there were three MUIR
ders within as many months.

Games of CheC,:,

the crown of Grenada, in spite OF the
superior claims of his elder brother
Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in
his conduct of the war against the
Christians and was at length assas-
slnated by poison absorbed through the
skin from a shirt. He entertained a
desperate dislike to the brother whom
he had injured, and when he knew that
his own fate was sealed he sent an
order to the governor of the prison in
which Jussef was confined that he
should be executed Immediately. When
the order arrived Jussef was playing
chess with the chaplain OF the prison
With great difficulty Jussef obtained a
respite from the governor permitting
him to finish the game. Before it was
ended, however, news came that the
usurper had died of the poison, This
