NEWS OF THE DAY.

Roxane ran a mile in l :2S 3-5, max
ing a new record at Saratoga, yesterday.
An anarchist named Sganza, of New
York, who had been commissioned, it
was said. to murder an European royal
parsonage, committed suicide by jump
| ing into the sea from the steamer Citta
de MilanO.
Edward Roberts, jr., who owned the
famous Luray caves, in Virginia, died
at his summer home, Woodfield, Rose
mont, suburb of Philadelphia, yester-
day morning after an illness of nearly
three years.
1t is stated that President Roosevelt
intends bringing the question of Cuban
reciprocity to an issue before the next
session of Congress. The report of an
extra session of the Senate is discredited
in Washington.
Duelling was glorifed by three days
dining, toasting and cheering of the
pardoned duellist, Lieutenant Hide
brandt by the officers of the garrison at
Cumbinnen, in east Prussia, where
Lieutenant HildebraDdt spent the week
end before joining the regiment to which
he was assigned at Stade.
The prospect of moving to market
more than 1900, 600, 600 bushels Of
corn and wheat this fall, not to consider
other crops, which are phenomenally
large, has led the treasury officials TO
consider the circulating medium that
will be required for this great undertake
ing. Secretary Shaw says the treasury
is making preparations to meet the de-
mand from western banking centres for
notes of small denominations to provide
Tor the crop-moving period.
The depot at Hogan on the Burling-
ton Railroad, about seventy-live miles
from La Crosse, Wis, was struck by
lightning and totally destroyed yester-
diy. Fifty pounds Of dynamite stored
in the building for blasting purposes ex-
ploded at the same time with a report
that was heard for ten miles around.
The limited train rushed into the station
Just at the time of the explosion, but the
engineer, realizing the danger, put OH
the emergency brake and kept the train
at a safe distance from the fire.
An investigation made by the Manila
constubulary to clear up the facts in re-
gard to the killing of Cebu coaching
party of four teachers shows that the
party was ambushed twelve miles from
Cebu. Two teachers were shot and kill
ed at the first. volley: third, who ran,
was shot in the back, and the fourth,
who was captured, was shot in the
breast while he was praying for mercy.
1t is suspected that the fourth man was
buried alive, as his wound was slight
and probably would not have caused
death. Dogs dug up two of the bodies
and devourcd the flesh. 1t is believed
sufficient evidence has been secured to
convict all the participants in the crime. !

EXCITING INCIDENT AT A LON
DON FIRE.

London, Aug. 1S.-An alarming fire

THE SETTLEMENT of what at one time
portended a strike of the elevated rail
way men in New York has happily been
ayerted by the display of conservatism
and common sense on the part of all
parties interested. The outcome was
the result of conference between Vice
President Skitt of the company and the
representatives of the engineers, motor
men and fremen. The matters in dis
pute were narrowed down to a question
of hours for days work and the limit of
ninety miles per day. The engineers
waived the question of miles, and the
company conceded the nine hour day
Agreement was signed and the confer
ence ended. Mutual concessions on both
sides brought an understanding and an
amicable adjustment of the matter at
issue. Most Of the vexatious labor dis
Putes of the present day could be brought
to a speedy close were negotiations con-
Quoted as they were between the elevated
railroad men and their employers.

COMBINATIONS among the big manu-
featuring concerns continue. The Beth
lehem Steel Company was formally
transferred in New York to the United
States Shipbuilding Company-the new
shipbuilding combine-and the organic
ers of the combination stated that il was
now completed and would at once start
in business. The capital has been in
creased from $50, 600, 600 to S45, 600, 600.
The International Harvester Company,
with an authorized capital of $120, 000,-
600, has been incorporated at Trenton, n.
J. The company is authorized to manufac-
ture harvesting machines and agricul u
raj implements of all kinds. 1t is under
stood that among the concerns interested
in the syndicate is the Mccormick reap
et and mower concerns, of Chicago
These big combinations with their mil
lions of capital, are fast driving out of
business all small concerns, for men of
ordinary means cannot compete against
such odds; aud there seems to be no
prospect Of change in these conditions.

THE SUICIDE by drowning Of an
Italian anarchist named Sganza who had

pean royal parsonage set an example 1t

every member of it has sworn to give his

should make concerted efforts to rid the
world of such fiends.

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

New York, Aug. l3.-The expected
combination or consolidation of some or
all of the Southern railroads in connec-
ton with the settlement of the Louis
vile and Nashville situation continue to
be the principal subject of interest to
railroad and financial men down town.
While none will speak officially on the
subject, and all inquirers are referred to
J. p. Morgan and Company for particu-
lars of the forthcoming plan, it is learned
on good authority that the first
movement will be the merger or consoi-
dation of the Seaboard Air Line, the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern
Railway in some form or other, and the
guarantee by these three interests OF Z
per cent. annual dividends upon the
common stock Of the Louisville and
Nashville. Upon Mr.. Morgan's return
from England next week it is believed
the announcement will be made OF the
terms for a settlement of the Louisville
and Nashville question on that basis.

PROSECUTING GAMBLERS.

The arrests Of persons in Richmond
charged with gambling is occasioning
much comment in that city. Yesterday
on motion for the defense, seconded by
City Attorney Henry Pollard, who APP
peared for Commonwealth Attorney
Richardson, the charges of conducting
gambling houses made by Policeman w.
II. Wyatt, jr., against Messrs. Colts
Jordan, Walter Gathright, William
Phelps, J. VI. Pellegrini and Thomas
Lyons were continued by Square Graves,
lifting in the police court, until Sep
TENDER II, the day following the alleged
bribery case against AIr. John VI. King.
The warrant against Messrs. Jordan and
Gathright mention them as having OF
Grated with another in the conduct of
gambling house on east Broad street.
Just what course the charge will take re-
mains to be seen. There were about %
witnesses called in the Police Court yes
terday, among them several men who
have long been prominent in Richmond;
a great number of young men employed
in stories, banks and similar places.
one boy of l6 or II years and at
least one Sunday school teacher.
There was a great reluctance on the part
of these witnesses to make themselves
known when their names were first called
but after few minutes they were bound
over to appear on September ! Il. Some
months ago policeman w. II. Wyatt,
who was superintendent Of Sunday
school, became a member Of the force.
He began by accusing his captain of
protecting the gamblers. The latter was
exonerated by the Police Commissioners.
Wyatt then on his own Responsibility
swOre out warrants against five men,
81 arging them with conducting gambling |
and personally summoned |
numbers of business men and young soci-
'ty men to testify against them. As a
result several bank clerks will lose their
places, and many merchants will have
unpleasant explanations to make at
nome.

FIENDISH PLOT REVEALED.

Knightstown, Ind, Aug 13.-An al
legged plot to destroy the county infrm-

been revealed. A pile of accumulated
rubbish in the room Of Charles Echer-
man was taken ont, when sixty pounds
of dynamite, two dynamite bombs, two
pounds each in weight, and 100 feet of
fuse were found concealed. As soon as
the discovery was made known, Echer-
man disappeared. Echerman, tits claim
ed, had been smarting under a repri-
mand from the superintendent and in
tended to take revenge 1t is thought
he made the bombs and fuse himself, as
he is regarded as sort of genius.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG. 10. 100.

IMMIGRATION figures for the fiscal
year 1902 show the high water mark so
far. The total was CHS, 743 That was
33 per cent more than in 1901, 40 per
cent more than in 1900, 20S per cent
more than in 1899 and 2S3 per
cent more than in 1898. Those coming
from the countries of eastern and south
ern Europe, the least desirable parts o.
that continent, were $40 per cent of the
whole, the largest percentage On record
The number of south Italians, the least
desirable from that kingdom, rose from
65. 600 in 1899 to l52, 900 in 1902.
The number of Poles rose from 28, 400 to
50 600. The number of Slovaks rose from
Is, 500 to SO, 900. The number of Croats
and Slovenes rose from s, 600 to 80, 200.
These last four are conspicuous in the
disorders and outrages Of the present
time in the coal regions. Not only is
this country getting increased numbers
and an increased proportion ofthe least
desirable peoples of Europe, but it Is
getting a lower and lower grade of them,
the number of illiterates showing a
larger per centage than ever before. Nc
one can justly be charged with unfriend-
illness in saying that such an influx
should be checked. 1t is all well enough
to talk of Americas being the "asylum
of the oppressed" and all that. America
should not be an asylum of illiterates
and degenerates. 1t should not be made
the cesspool of the nations. There is
something radically wrong when hard
working, quiet Chinese who would be-
come good farm laborers, &C., are ex-
cluded from this country while the ignO-
rant and vicious of other nations can
come here at their will.

Quebec, Aug. 13.-The judgment in
the Gaynor-Greene case is now being
delivered. 1t is in favor of the prisoners,
both of their objections being declared
fatal to the prosecution. The decision
is very lengthy and its delivery will take
couple of hours. Judge Caron denied
the motion made for the United States
government that the writs of habeas
corpus be dismissed. His decision also
permits the defendants, Gaynor and
Greene, to go free temporarily. In effect
the decision nullifies the effort made to
get Gaynor and Greene back to the
Montreal court Judge Caron did not
