JEWS MILL GET TOGETHER.
Big Meeting Was Recently Held
 in New York City.

An Endeavor Will Be Made To h.
 terest Those Interested In Things
 Jewish-Leo N. Levi, One of the
 Speakers At the Meeting Gave An
 Interesting Address.
 New York, July 3.-Under the au- spices of the order of D,Nai Brlth, meeting has been held in this city, at which several hundred Jews gathered to take part ill the beginning oI a great ''get-together' movement among the race in the United States.
 There are many Jews in America who have practically ceased to take in- terest i'll things Jewish, according to students of the subject, and this state of affairs is due to several causes, prin- cipal among which are the differences due to the divergence of origin among them and to the great change in condl- tionS of life here from what they have been accustomed to in their European homes.
 The new effort is a part of the plans for the general advancement of Amer ican Jews which led recently to the election of Dr Solomon Schechter to the presidency of the Jewish seminary.
 Among the speakers was Leo N. Levi of Galveston, Tex, chairman of the executive committee of the order of B'Nai Brith. In the course of q lengthy speech he referr-d to the ex- odus of Jews from European countries and declared that the Jewish race is now passing through events which sur pass in importance the exodus from Egypt and the expulsion from Spain.
 'In all the history of the Jews" he said, ''there has been no effort to unite their forces in behalf of themselves. They have always rested in the hope that somebody would work out their salvation for them. Perhaps this has been due to the di -erences that have always existed; to the fact that we have always been stiff necked, slow to learn government. The policy has al- ways been one of drift, failing to recog- niZe our Surest fuge-ourselves..

DECIDED TO RAGE.
Weather Was Threatening, But Black
 Rock Races Were Started at 12:30.

Black Rock, July 3.--Tn spite of 3 heavy rainfall and a wind blowing about twenty knots an hour from the southwest, the regatta committee or the Bridgeport Yacht club determined this morning to have the Seawanhaka trial races continued to-day. The de. cision was indorsed by the shippers of all the boats, as there is general de- sire to have the little craft given a chance to show what they can do under heavy weather conditions. The con- troversy which arose over the postpone. ment of Tuesdays races on account or strong wind and rough water was a factor in this desire as it was felt that a race under the condluonS existing to- day would go far to dispel any dissat- isfaction due to the previous postpone ment. Indeed, the conditions to-day were worse if possible than on Tuesday and far different from the light airs and smooth seas which have marked the other sailing days.
 Ali the so-called heavy weather boats. the Crusader, Monsoon, Filibus- ter. Frontenac and Seeress, hailed the prospect of race with satisfaction, and the crews of the Tecumseh and Massasoit were also glad of the prom iSed opportunity to show the quality or their boats in a strong b1ow Skipper Jennings of the Massasoit said the un- derstanding that he and Skipper Jones of the Tecumseh asked for postpone ment of Tuesdays races was incorrect, and he declared that they welcomed to- days conditions.
 Mrs F. D. Crowinshield was an- nounced this morning as one of the crew of the Filibuster for to-day's con- test. She donned oilslins and joined her husband on the little boat
 The course to-day is triangular one.
 Rain soa <ed' sails delayed the start ofs the little yachts and they did not leave until 12:5O. Another delay was caused by the work necessary in taking the triangular course. At 1 o'clock, after jockeying for the start, the Te- cumseh crossed the line first, followed five seconds later by the Crusader. The first leg was to the southeast. the sec ond to the southwest and the third due north In rounding the first mark the Tecumseh was ahead and she was fol lowed closely by the Crusader and the Massasoit.

STRIKERS ARE GOING BACK
Three Men Who Went Out at Pine Ridge Mine First to Go.

Seven Coal and Iron Policemen Under
 Arrest for shooting-A Member of
 the United Mine Workers Was Ar
 rested for Libeling Merchants-Jus-
 tices of the Peace Hold Men
 Charged With Inciting Riot Under
 $500 Bonds.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 3.-The first break in the ranks of the striking nfe, men occurred yesterday afternoon, when three former employees ot the Kingston Coal company applied for work and were given their old places. Three firemen who went out at the Pine Ridge mine of the Delaware & Hudson company at Miners Mills also requested that their old places be giY- en to them.
 County Detective Phillips of Lacka- wanna county came to Duryea ana, going to the William A. colliery, placed sevea of the coal and iron po- llicemen on duty there under arrest. They are charged with the shooting, Tuesday, of the Italian. The officers were taken to Scranton and held in $1, GOO bail to answer at court.
 The Wilkesbarre Alliance made its first arrest to-day. A member of the United Mine Workers was arrested, charged with libeling merchants and others. There were fourteen counts against him. The magistrate de- manded $T,OO0 bail, which the defend ant was unable to furnish.
 There came near being a serious riot at the William A. colliery yesterday afternoon. Charles A. Brown, min ing engineer, was on his way to the mine when a number of strikers for- eigners) began calling him names and, it is said, one of the men also threw a stone. This angered the foreigners and the engineer fired his revolver in the air. This attracted the attention of the guards behind the barricade at the colliery, who fired into the air and the foreigners fell back. Brown was arrested and taken before Burgess Burlington, followed by large crowd of angry Italians. The police say they found four revolvers on Brown. It was plainly evident that the engi- neer's life was in danger if he re- mained in the place long, and the bur- gess, after hearing some evidence, placed the defendant under $5 ,OO0 bail. Being unable to furnish it, he was or dered removed to the county jail. His counsel will ask the court for a habeas corpus hearing tomorrow.
 A number of justices of the peace l in Luzerne county were kept busy yes- terday giving hearings to men charged with melting and participating in riots at coal mines. Early yesterday morn ing Deputy Sheriff Eckert brought four men from Freeland, charged with engaging in a riot at that place. The magistrate held the defendants in $500 for trial at court, which they were un- able to furnish

BIG FIRE IN HARTFORD.
Plant Capewell Horse Nail Go Wiped
 Out-Loss $3OOOOO.


 Hartford, July 3.-Three alarms of fire between ? and o'clock this morn ing called out the entire department to fight a blaze in the big plant of the Capewell Horse Nail company at the corner of Charter Oak and Governor streets. The fire started in a brick building known as the old shop, and spread with such rapidity that the firemen who responded to the first and second alarms were quickly driven away from the structure by the excess siye heat. It was impossible to get near enough to play on the flames which enveioped the entire building.
 When the third and general alarm was sounded. the blaze seemed beyond the control of the firemen. and threat ened to sweep many buildings in that part of the city. A dwelling house owned by David Tiltor, across the street from the factory caught fire and was partly burned, but the blaze was stayed fortunately at that point. The entire plant of the Capewell conn., pany except the office, storeroom, boil- CT house and annealing shop were de- stroyed The estimated value of the plant was between $300,O00 and $400.- co, and it is said that insurance will nearly cover the loss. The origin of the blaze has not been ascertained.

STEAMSHIP SUBSIDY.
Imperial Conference Will Probably Act
 On the Matter.

New York, July 3.-There is increas ing probability that the imperial con- ference will take advisory action re- specting a steamship subsidy, cables the London correspondent of the Trib- une. The question would be readily settled if the imperial government would meet Australia. New Zealand and Canada half way in tne payment of subsidies. A colonial official who is we'll informed on this subject says a combination could be formed in twen- ty-four hours if the home government would agree to divide expenses with the colonies. There is no evidence that the board of trade and the admiralty have gone further than discuss formal ly the payment of one-third of the mail subsidies required for keeping the lines out of foreign control. and thereby as- suring the independence of British ship ping interests. Pressure from the con- ference may be exerted in favor of more liberal grants from the British treasury. This result is more probable than the adoption of preferential GUS toms. The steamship subsidy plan fa- vored by the conference is not likely to include any line like the Cunard. running between British and American ports.

PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT.
The Great Proclamation to be Made
 To-Morrow, July 4.

T
 ToMorrow, July 4.
 President Roosevelt, having signed the Philippines civil government bill last night before congress adjourned, to-day proceeded with the preparations to have civil government inaugurated thsoughout the Christian provinces of the archipelago. A proclamation has been sent to General Chaffee to surren- der the control over all provinces now under military rule to the civil author ities, and the army in the Philippines will on the Fourth of July become sub- ordinate to the commission. It will re- main to act in harmony with the com mission and under the direction of Gov ernor Taft as the army in the United States acts under the presidents or ders. All political offenders will be pardoned by a proclamation of gener- al amnesty. and the military rule, against which anti-imperialists in this country have complained, will be sue ceeded by civil rule, as it would have been months ago had the democrats in congress allowed this bill to be brought to vote and passed without the long and tedious debate on the wickedness of the army.
 It is the purpose of the administra- tion to make the civil government in the Philippines as liberal as the peo- pie there will allow. The insurrec- tion has been suppressed and there will be no military authority exercised in the Philippines in fl.tdre except by direction of the Philippine commis- sion.

THE DISBROW CASE
His Counsel Objected to Evi-
 dence of three Witnesses.
IMPEACHED CoRoNER's STORY.


 Admitted-Woman Witness Said
 Yesterday That She Heard DisbroW
 Swear and Say ''rn Settle This in
 the Morning."
 New York, July 3.-The hearing in the case of Louis Disbrow, accused of the murder of Sarah Lawrnece and Clarence Foster was resumed in Good Ground, Long Island, to-day. The first three witnesses testified as to the ap- pearance of Fosters body and all de- clared there was an abrasion over the right eye which was covered with blood. Coroner Nugent yesterday tess tided that he saw no abrasion and to- day Disbrow's counsel strongly objecr- ed to the admission of the testimony of the three witnesses on the grounds that it impeached the evidence of Corr oner Nugent who was called by the prosecution.
 During yesterdays session of the court Willis Wells. a liveryman, said that Foster came to his place on Mon day night, June 9, and hired a one. seated runabout built to hold two per. sons. Later in the evening Wells saw the runabout going along the road lead- ing to the Hampton rlnes clubhouse. There were three persons in the rig He recognized them as Miss Lawrence, Foster and Disbrow. The next morn ing. witness said, the rig was driven into his yard Dy Disbrow. The vehicle was somewhat damaged, being scratched in some places. He men toned this to Disbrow, who offered to pay any damage that had Deen done. Wells said that it would cost $10, and Disbrow rendered him a check for $2O. Wells did not have the right change and Disbrow said that it didn't matter, that he would be back in two days. and settle the bill Since that time wit ness had not seen Disbrow until he saw him in court yesterday morning.
 Conorner Nugent, in his testimony, said there was blood on Fosters face, but he did not notice any cuts or bruises when he examined the body. The coroner also testified that he had examined the body of the girl. Her head was swollen and the neck and chest were black. Coroner Nugent further said he was present at the aus topsy on Fosters body and saw no rea< son to change his original finding, which was to the effect that death was due to drowning.
 Miss Ellen F. Pearsall was the last witness. She occupied room at Ter nails hotel opposite the one taken by Disbrow. The gist of her testimony in- dicated there was some kind of quar- rel either between Disbrow and Foster, I or Disbrow and his two companions: l that there was a reconciliation. ending | in an agreement for Disbrow to accom- pany Foster and Mss Lawrence in a boat. Miss Pearsall, in testifying to what she heard. said that Disbrow ex- claimed. with an oath, "I'll settle this in the morning."

WERE UP TO STANDARD.
Prof Redmayne We'll Pleased Witt
 Visit to This Country.

Prof Redmayne We'll Pleased With
 Visit to This Country.
 New York, July 3.-Prof R. A. Red mayne, professor Of mining, in the new technical school of the university at Birmingham, England, who has been in this country for several weeks studying our technical schools, has re- turned from the west and will sail for England in day or two.
 T have found the excellent reputa- tions your American technical schools enjoy in Europe to be fully, even more fully than I expected, Justified by the schools" he said What impressed me most, I think, in your American methods of technical instruction, is the practical training you give. Your graduates are metallurgists; so are ours; your graduates can build bridges, design and run locomotives, meet any and all emergencies and local needs wherever they may be placed. 1t is this broad, practical working power you give your students that has given American engineers such a splendid reputation in South Africa, Australia and elsewhere that I have observed.
 "I think" the professor continued, 'sthat we excel you in pure science. But we, of England-and here seems to me to be the difference between Yankee and Briton-we are too prone to end with a scientific discovery, while you consider no discovery com p1ete till you have it in practical. even commercial, working operation. An other way in which you have the ad- vantage over us is that you are not so hampered here by legislation. Tn Eng land a young man is required by law to have five years experience under ground before he can take his exami- nations for mining engineer.

 The police were unusually busy to- day hauling i'll intoxicated men. This was probably owing to the customary collaboration in the atmosphere conse- quent upon the Fourth of July. Ed ward Dwyer fell into Officer M. T.. Healey's hands early this morning. William Cullinan was unable to take care of himself when Officer Brearton saw him. A man named ISnowtvsky was Officer M. T.

FOR LOVERS OF FLOWERS.
How a Vase of Blossoms Can Be Ar
 ranged in an Artistic Manner.

rduSGu all MduuSrs
 One of the errors most frequently made is that too many flowers are put into the receptacle. Crowded flowers in mass are fatal to artistic effect. Mixtures are also to be avoid ed. Choose only one or few kinds of flowers at time and secure va. riety by the use of foliage. Trailing plants and creepers are very useful in floral decorations. Grasses are also effective. They give that touch of hghtness and relief from an ap- pearance of formality so essential to the desired impression of beauty. The next time you have a bunch of daisies put some light, feathery grasses with them, says the Philadel. phia Times.
 You can get,yery artistic effects by combining blossoms of different form and sizes. If you use all full-blown flowers you will have a somewhat heavy effect. By mixing in some buds you will avoid this.
 There are now so many different kinds of artistic pottery and glass that choice of receptacle for the flowers is not difficult. Simplicity of style is most in keeping with wild flowers, and it is quite possible to carry out pretty schemes with com monplace jars and crockery Ever such ordinary articles as jugs or jars of brown pottery may be turned into account.
 Another thing to remember is that long-stemmed flowers require high vases or jars to do them justice Those of short stature look best in bowls or vessels of breadth rather than height. One should study ma ture and do as she does. American Beauty roses will look well in tow ering receptacle, but violets and pansies are better arrS ged low They grow that way. P,@:i :ies look pretty in rustic baskets or those ob- long straw baskets now being much used. They may be arranged on moss or with ferns.
