bring the four orders into a closer
working relationship. There was keen

SENSATION IN LONDON.
Reports ofa Scandal Similar to That of
the wilde Affair.

London, Nov. "A tremendous sem
sation was caused here to-day by
statements that another scandal of the
Oscar Wilde type was about to become
public property. 1t is asserted that the
man whose name Is connected with the
affair and who is a peer, has fled the
country but there is every reason to
believe that he is at present lying i'll
at an English watering place. A re-
port of this affair found its way into
print, in guarded language, this morn

LOUBET AND ROOSEVELT.
A French Comparison Brought Out by
the Coal Strikes.

Paris. Nov. I'm an article headed
1.-TWO Presidents" La Patrie tonight
compares President Roosevelt with
President Loubet. Referring to the
French and American coal strikes the
paper says the energetic measures
adopted by President Roosevelt brought
the American strike to an end and de-
clares that President Loubet was con-
fronted by conditions exactly the same
as those Mr.. Roosevelt dealt with, but
that the president of France remained
passive with the result that the French
strike continues, amid gerat misery and
loss.
The paper draws the conclusion that
the American president, who is elected
by the people. represents the people,
whereas the president of France waits
the slow process of parliament and that
the French people suffer from the
reign of parliamentarisms

TRIBUTE PAID TO
 WEST POINT BOYS
At Dinner In Manila Col Woodruff Says They Saved Country Money
 During the Mexican War.

Manila, June 15.-Speaking at the West Point centennial dinner, which was held here last week, Acting Civil Governor Wright said he did not think "the strife now being waged in congress on the Phil ippine government bill. is as fierce and as irreconcilable as 1t appears to be; that the sober second thoughts of the American people were always right and that they would in time do justice to the Americans fin the Philippine islands"
 Speaking at the same dinner Col. Charles A. Woodruff, head of the sub sistence department at Manila said:
 "The graduates of West Point may be charity boys" but in the Mexican war these hoys saved the nation in money alone more than the military school has cost since it's foundation. The same boys led 100000 men to victory in the great est of modern wars. The charity boys have all repaid their board and keep a thousand fold; they can glory in the fact that wherever 25,ooo troops have faced an enemy the commander of these men was a West Point graduate. The estab- lished reputation of the boys from West Pcint has become a synonym for honor. integrity and the highest credit in the country; they saved the country mil lions of dollars and thousands of lives, and the charity boys will no doubt up- hold IT. the present the proud supremacy o, the United States.

 While the wind was at its height the steamer Tarascon of the Louisville and Evansville Packet Company's line broke from her moorings at the wharf.
 The boat was finally caught by an ex- cursion steamer and with the help of the life savers was lowed back to the wharf after a hard struggle in which a great deal of heroism was shown by Mary Murphy, a chambermaid who aided Captain Hall and the second mate in their efforts to untangle the lines in order that the life savers might secure the Taras- con to the boat which had come out to the resuce.
 A number of negro roustabouts who were on the boat when she broke loose were panic stricken.

E7EEA AW1OCkET, K. 1. June lo.-Ihe 0 presence of 700 armed men sent
 by Governor Kimball to restore order had little influence except in the central parts of the city today where the soldiers formed an invincible guard. and this afternoon rioting broke out anew in the suburbs and spread to the neigh boring city of Central Falls. The re- sumption of the electrict service, which has been abandoned since Thursday. was the signal for demonstrations at the points where neither soldiers nor police were stationed and the character of the attacks grew worse until the traction company was forced to abandon the car service.
 The disorders extended over so great an area that the troops available were unable to handle the situation and it was said that before the usual car traffic can be resumed 1t will be necessary to place the city of Central Falls and parts of Cumberland, Lincoln and North Prov idence under military control. To do this an increase In the number of troops will be necessary Today tracks were ob- structed and cars were pelted with stones by the mobs not only in the suburbs of this city but In Central Falls.
