VISITORS TO THE PRESIDENT.
General Macarthur and the Ambas-
sador to Italy at Canton

CANTON, Ohio Aug. 3l.-President Nc
kinley's callers today included General
Macarthur. late commander of the mil
itary forces in the Philippines; George V
l. Meyer, United States Ambassador to
Italy. and Gen. Curtis Guild, jr., OF Bos-
ton
General Macarthur was accompanied by
Captain Ashburn. of his staff All arrived
shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon
and the President was busily engaged
with one or another of them until late
tonight Mr.. Meyer is on leave of alb
sence from his post in Rome. He called
to pay his respects to the President He
furnished the President with great deal
of information. but it is understood that
there was nothing of special significance
in his visit He will return to Italy and
serve as Ambassador for at least an
other year, which disposes of a story oft
repeated that when he came to the United
States this year ii would be to remain,
and that Coz. Myron r Herrick. of Cleve-
land. was likely to succeed him as AM
bassador. He and General Macarthur
took dinner at the Mckinley home, and
Mr.. Meyer left for the East at 7:40 this
evening via Cleveland.
General Macarthur went East at 1910
o'clock over the Pennsylvania lines, en-
route to Washington. to make his formal
report to the War Department. Owing to
the Importance of the pest which General
Macarthur filled in the Philippines, he
and the President had much to talk
over. The President enquired about
many matters in the Philippines, and of
the developments under American occu-
patton. Captain Ashburn said:
General Macarthur is on his way to
Washington to make the formal report
on his Philippine service to the War De-
partment. From Washington he will go
to his home in Milwaukee. Beyond that.
his movements have not been decided
upon. He will doubtless have a period
of rest before being assigned TO active
duties. No. it has not been determined
where he will finally be assigned. / would

ATTACK ON A FARMER.
Attempt Made to Cont New York
Man With Tar.

WATERToWN, n. Y, Aug. 31.-An at
tempt was made on Thursday night to tar
George a Cotterell, a farmer of Copen-
hagen, village about fifteen miles from
here. He was aroused about midnight by
some one knocking at the door and when
he asked what was wanted he was told
that his mother, who lives at the other
side of the village. was seriously ILL.,
Cotterell mounted his bicycle to ride
there and had gone only a short distance
when he was set upon by four or five
masked men who were hiding behind
some trees. They began to pour tar on
him, but his struggles and cries brought
several neighbors TO his aid and his as
saiiants fed. No clue to their identity
has been obtained. Cottereu was taken
home and found to be in a serious condi-
tion.
Cotterell IS very unpopular in the neigh
borhood. The county attorney will liz
vestigate the assault.

LAYING PLANS FOR SUBSIDY.
New York Steamship Men Not Asked
for Suggestions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-New York repre-
sentatives of leading American steamship
lines say that they have not been inform
ed of the changes, which. II is understood,
are planning with regard to the ship sub
sidy proposals. fathered in Congress last
year by Messrs. Frye and Payne Neither
the chief officers of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and of the Great
Northern Railways projected lines, nor
important New York interests in the In
ternational Navigation Company seem to
have been consulted upon the modifica-
tions to be discussed at the conference of
friends of the Subsidy bill which Senator
Frye is expected to call soon. The COM
mon answer to all queries is: II don't
know anything about it,
One of the chief executives of a line
which would gain much from almost any
subsidy legislation said: That matter is
entirely in the hands of Senator Frye and
his colleagues So far as | am aware
they are not asking for advice They know
what they want, they have gone into the
subject most carof fully, and they are per-
fectly competent to act without any help
or suggestion of ours
If radical changes are intended, no in
timation of the purpose has reached some
bill of last session. James ]. Hill. of the
Great Northern Railway. still shows the
scant faith in the subsidy scheme and
the hostility to its provisions which mark
ed his stand of last winter. Il don't be-
lieve it Will amount to anything" he said.
"On the lines laid down, Congress could
not be induced to vote a dollar for the
scheme. The people are not interested in
If and the Dlan attracts no general sup
port. If they were to distribute the money
differently, and try to build up a great
fleet of freight carriers, there might be
better chance of the bill going through,
but that is not their idea
Since indications thus point to a close
similarity between the old and new pro-
posals. much the same three-cornered
fight between conflicting Interests may be
expected. Those opposed to the special
group on. general principles stand a
chance of getting more help from mall
contents among the shipping interests
than the chief beneficiaries of the bill if
passed. Owners of freight lines have been
but lukewarm advocates of legislation
especially kindly to fast passenger craft,
while American shipbuilders may be ex-
pected again to demur to the benevolent
treatment accorded by the last bill to for
eign-built vessels sailed under the Ameri-
can flag. Yet another faction, so far
unreconciled is made up of those prin-
cipally concerned for the foreign. lines
sailing to the United States. To one or
two German ship companies, for example.
there would be left the chances to organ
ize subsidiary corporations under Alneri-
can law, and to enter or to build vessels
under American registry. But so long
as there are no subsidies, what influence
the foreigners have will probably be eX-

front of the house OF Joseph Miller, late
Thursday. in the form of a brownstone
plow. which Mr.. Brown believes is fully
800 years old. and perhaps much older
When the relic was taken out of the
earth Mr.. Brown thought it was an ordi-
nary stone.
A further examination revealed the fact
that the curious looking object was a
stone plow. Mr.. Brown at once had the
relic placed in his wagon. where it was
viewed by hundreds before he took it to
his home.
The mold Is on the left side of the
plow, while the top of the stone is per-

GIRL STRIKERS ARRESTED.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 31.-The at
tacks by the strikers at Bertel's Tin Fac
tory against the workers who have taken
their places eliminated today in the ar
rest of seven girl strikers and one man
striker.
Crowds of strikers have been in the
habit of assembling outside the mill as
the workers go in and out and hooting
them. This morning two OF the workers
were followed by some of the strikers and
hooted and called +'.scabs." Several of the
strikers were arrested afterward and
taken before Mayor Nichols.
The hearing WAS postponed until Tues
day night. The workers now say that
they will endeavor to have all strikers
arrested who interfere with them

COLUMBIA IN FIRST AGAIN.
The Constitution Receives Another
as.> Severe Beating.
Although in the Best of Trim, the
New Cup Yacht Is Outsailed by the
Old Defender, Which May Yet Be
Chosen to Race With Shamrock III.

NEWPORT. r. l., Aug. 3i.-The old
cup defender Columbia today gave the
admirers of the Constitution something
to think over by beating the new HERE
shoff creation four minutes and nineteen
seconds, corrected time, over thirty
mile course. The race was fifteen miles
to windward and return. and the new
boat was beaten fairly and squarely.
The Constitution was fresh from the
shops, and had Nat Herreshoff aboard.
so that her hackers are at loss for ex-
cuses. 1t is common talk here tonight
that unless the Constitution shows up in
vastly improved form on Monday and
Wednesday the old boat may be chosen
to defend the cup. The only excuse that
can be offered is that the Constitution
had the worst of the start, but that was
because her skipper was outgeneralled,
the Columbia being superbly handled
throughout the race.
The contest was started as a beat to
windward with a nine-knot breeze, the
course being laid south southeast The
wind changed to eastward later, however,
so that the beat was really one long leg
and couple of short bitches. This
change was. of course, a slight help to
the leading yacht. the Columbia. The
official time of the start was:
Columbia. 1l:4l Is.
Constitution, 1I:i2:00.
AT the end of half an hour the Columbia
had good. safe lead. The turn was
made as follows:
Columbia. :3O:i5.
Constitution, 1:32:i5.
This meant lead for the Columbia of
one minute a:d fifteen seconds. The old
defender made a gain on the run home of
one minute and fifty-three seconds. The
yachts finished as follows:
Columbia. 3:02:0S
Constitution, 3:06:01.
