The Attacking Fleet.

The Attacking Fleet.
The Navy Department for it's part has
decided to have a formidable fleet of ves-
sells to represent it on that occasion. This
fleet will be composed of the battle ships
Alabama, kearsarge, Massachusetts and
Indiana, the armored cruiser Brooklyn
protected cruisers Olympia Cincinnati and
Monterey, monitors Puritan. Amphitrite
and Terror and gunboats Mayfiower Ma
rietta, Newport, Gloucester and Topeka.
This fleet will represent hostile fleet
which would attempt to pass the fortifica-
tions defending the sound. These vessels
are a little separated at present. the Ma
rietta, Topeka and the Cincinnati being in
Venezuelan waters, but the Navy Depart
ment is hopeful that the affairs in Vene-
zuela will have been sufficiently quieted
down so that these three vessels may be
ordered north.
The Naval Militia
Fourteen hundred men of the naval mill
tia organizations of Massachusetts,, New
York and Connecticut will engage in the
war game at the eastern entrance to Long
Island sound. This arrangement has been
made by the Navy Department with the
adjutant generals of the three states. The
naval militiamen will be distributed among
the ships of Admiral Higginson's squadron
and will serve during the entire period of
the opera tionS between the army and the
navy.
Use of Torpedo Boats.
There was report about the War De-
partment yesterday to the effect that the
army was to be aided in the coming army
and navy war game by the fotila of tor
pedo boats. The assistance Of a swarm of
torpedo boats operating under the protec-
ton of the guns of the shore batteries
would, of course. be greatly to the advan-
tage of the army. No confirmation of the
report could be obtained at the War or
Navy Departments. No orders have been
issued by Admiral Taylor. acting secretary
of the navy, to turn the torpedo boats over
to the army to assist in the defense against
the fleet When the joint maneuyers were
decided upon a memorandum was drawn
up and by mutual agreement 1t was decided
in order to avoid complica tions that the
torpedo fiotlla should be eliminated from
the equation By the terms of that memo
randum the navy was to attack and the
army to defend, the latter without aux
iliary aid afloat. So far as Is known at
the Navy Department there has been no
change in the original plan IN this respect.

Mitchell Replies to Alliance.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, August 1--Presi-
dent Mitchell of the Miners Union started
TO work early today upon a reply TO the
open letter addressed to him yesterday by
the Citizens Alliance OF W;lke esbarre, an
organization made up of business and pro-
lessional men and others In an address
at the convention of miners of the first
district of the United Mine Workers, held
at Nanticoke some weeks ago, Mr.. Mitchell
criticized the alliance because, he claimed,
u was not consistent. 1t wanted to prose-
cute all miners who violated the law ne
Claimed but overlooked the many viola
tons OF the law committed every day by
the coal combination The alliance replied
In an open letter in which they enumerated
many outragss said TO have been commit
ted .by strikers and others in the coal
region since the strike began. Mr.. Mitchell
was called upon to define his position and
TO issue proclamation to his followers
warning them to keep on the side of law
and order. He made no reply TO the letter.
Yesterday the alliance issued another open
letter TO the labor chief and after con-
sulting with his advisers. Mr.. Mitchell de
cided 10 answer it. In his reply he takes
the ground that he has always been 2
staunch defender OF law and order ana
that his followers know it.
Mr.. Mitchell had nothing to say with ref
srence to the suit in equity brought against
him and other national officers of the
United Mine Workers by a coal company in
West Virginia.
companies Quit Hiring Guards.
PHILADELPHIA, August mo men
have been sent to the anthracite coal re-
gions from this city to act as mine guards
for more than two weeks past. The reason
assigned is that the big operators by whom
they were employed had found the expense
too heavy, and that moreover they came
20 the conclusion that the large force which
had been engaged in this city, New York.
Baltimore and the south was not required
II was, therefore. determined to drop at
least 30 per cent OF the total number en-
gasea, estimated to be about 5000, and
efter that reduction occurred to fill the
places with men who could be secured for
the work at lower wages.
All OF those who were hired in Philadel-
phla received $3.50 per day. About 1000
were thus contracted for. OF these ii is be-
GeFed that 300 TO 400 have returned home
IhSir places were filled with men who
could be got in the coal country itself for
e day.

CONSERVATIVES LOSE A SEAT.
Leaders Alarmed Over Change il
North Leeds Vote.

LONDON, July 30.-The loss of the seat
for North Leeds in the house of commons
has filled the supporters of the new Bal
four administration with dismay. The ut
most ingenuity of the editorial writer's of
the conservative press is quite Intellectual
in explaining away the conversion of the
tory majority of 2.517 in 1900 into a liberal
majority of 7JS.
The Morning Post, which is the frankest
conservative critic of the government. ad-
mlts candidly that outside of the Birming
Ialnlte preserve, there is seemingly no one
whose loyalty the government can abso-
lutely rely on
The liberal papers this morning concur in
the opinion that the grain tax and the ed
ucatlon bill won them the North Leeds
seat, the election having been fought on
these two points
Inc result was received with great jubi-
lation in the house of commons the men,
berS crowdtng to congratulate Herbert
Gladstone, the liberal whip. 1t is expected
one result of the election will be that Mr.
BaIfour, the premier. WILL as far as possi-
BILE, avoid making changes in the cabinet
involving more bye elections Gerald Bal
four's seat, among others, being considered
rather unsafe.
Another incident which is adding to con-
serVative discontinue is the decision of
John Cathcart Wason. liberal unionist
member, TO retoin the liberal party. Mr.
Nason says he supported the government
curing the war, but that he is now so dis
satished with the governments policy in
the matters of army reform, education and
Ir1sn land questions that he cannot longer
support ii.

MASS FOR JOHN w. MACKAY.
Celebrated in st. Mary's Church in
London.

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
Many American and English friends of
the family were present today at a
requiem mass said in st. Mary's Roman
Catholic Church, Cadogan square, for
the repose of the soul of John W. Mackay.
The members of the family present were
Clarence Mackay, the Princess Colon
ma, with her young son, and the daughter
and two sons of the Countess Telfner. Mrs
Mackay who is still prostrated remained
at home with her mother, Mrs. Hungerford
The Countess Telfner is quite i'll at the
Walsinham Hotel.
Mr.. Mackays body was taken last even
ing to Noting Hill convent, where it will
remain until taken to America in Septem-
Der or October, when Mrs. Mackay will ac-
company it.
Todays service was confined to the cole
bration of the mass for the dead The
floral decorations of the chancel consisted
chiefly of large punches of lilies of the val
ley. The mass was composed by Father
Charles Clark of London and was sung by
a choir of twenty.
Among those present We're Joseph II
Choate, the United States ambassador to
Great Britain; Commander Richardson
Glover, naval attache at London, ana Mrs
Glover; Mrs. Bradley-Mart Mrs. Parktn-
son Sharpe, Mrs. Maitland Kersey, Mr.. and

MR.. BURTON IN GOOD SPIRITS.
Says That All He Asked for Has Been
Conceded.

One of the visitors at the treasury build
ing today was Representative Burton of the
Cleveland. Ohio. district, whose recent diff
ferences with the Cuyahoga county organi-
cation caused so much discussion. Mr.. Bur-
ton had threatened to withdraw from the
republican ticket unless he were allowed to
select his own managing committee, and for
time it seemed as though Senator Han
mas friends, who were in control of the or
ganizatlon, would allow matters to go to
extremes. But harmony has been re-estab-
lished, and when seen today Mr. Burton
was apparently in good frame of mind rs
to the outlook.
IAN that have asked" Mr. Burton said,
has been conceded to me, and the situation
in Cuyahoga county, from a republican
point of view, Is very encouraging indeed.
The gathering last Saturday at the indus
trial picnic near Cleveland was a thor
oughly representative one, and Senator
Hanna did some effective work by his
speech there. There can be no gainsaylng
the fact that he is putting in his best licks
for me and the rest of the ticket. The pros
poets for harmony and success are gratify-
ing indeed
Mr.. Burton was at the Treasury Depart
ment to consult the officials there about the
entry free Of duty of the statue of Kos
suth, which is to be unveiled in Cleveland
in September. Assistant Secretary Spauld-
ing gave assurance that the statue would
come in without paying duty.

Ell KHEIR FOUND GUILTY.
Sentenced to Death for Murder of Mar
uuiS de Mores

A dispatch from Tunis yesterday says
The trial of the assassins of the Marquis de
Mores at Susa, near here, resulted today
in the condemning to death of Ell Kheir and
the sentencing of HANNA Chekh to twenty
years imprisonment,
The public prosecutor in closing his speech
reviewed the allegations brought in behalf
of Nine. de Mores that local functionaries
had been implicated and declared that the
evidence submitted to that effect had failed
to prove any collusion. The court in pro-
nouncing it's verdict added absolutely to
the proof of the allegation that the murder
was committed by other individuals than
those arraigned.
Seventeen others accused of the assas-
snation of Marquis de Mores were SEN
fenced in default, six to be put TO death
and eleven to hard Labor
The Marquis de Mores was killed near
Gabes in June. 1896. by a number of ban
dts. Ell kheir and HANNA Chiekh were
the only ones of his assailants captured.
His widow, who was Marie Won Hoffman,
daughter of l.. Won Hoffman of New
York, offered a reward of 5000 francs for
the arrest of the principal assassin.

REPORTED BY CoGHLAN.
Ceremonies Attending Arrival Of Lord
Pauncefote's Remains.

The Navy Department has received Rear
Admiral Coghlans official report of the
ceremonies which attended the landing of
the remains of Lord Pauncefote, late Brit
ish ambassador to Washington in England.
The report is dated at Southampton, July
IA, and recites that on the previous night
at 10 O'Clock, the Brooklyn, with the re-
mains of Lord Pauncefote aboard, anchor
Led off the Needles Isle of Wight. At 6
O'Clock the next morning a British squad
ron, consisting of the cruisers Australia
ana Apollo and the destroyers Star1lsh
Hunter, Hasty and Content. met the
Brooklyn and, headed by the American flag
snip, sailed into Southampton, which was
reached about II O'Clock. Here the casket
was hoisted from the ship and deposited on
the dock, to be raised by British marines
ana blue jackets, who acted as body bear
ers and carried to waiting train. The
Brooklyn fired twenty minute guns, as did
an the ships of the British squadron, and
the pand played a dirge as the remains
were taken from the warship to the train.
Inc ohcers of the Brooklyn were all in
oress uniform and joined the funeral pro-
cesslon Ihe arrangements for the recep-
tlon OF the funeral warship were under the
ulrectlon or Admiral Hotham of the royal
navy.
Rear Admiral Coghlan states that Lady
fauncefote expressed most heartfelt thanks
for the kindness of the American people,
ana Ior the honors paid to her late hus-
oand, ana she requested him to extend an
expression of her gratitude to President
roosevelt and his cabinet.

MARCUS ISLAND DISPUTE.
Advice of the State Department to
Capt. Rosehill,

A cablegram received at the State De-
partment from United States Minister
Buck at Toxic states that the Japanese
minister of foreign affairs informed him
that Japanese naval vessel would leave
Sunday for Marcus Island. The purpose of
her going is not to make trouble, but to
prevent it. An official sof-the foreign office
was to go on the vessel; and he would carry
a letter to Capt. Rosehill, cabled from the
State Department here to Minister Buck,
advising the captain not to make any dis
turbanca or to resort to violence to obtain
possession of the island with possible loss
OF lie and involving international compli-
cations. If the captain would observe this
advice the department for it's part would
endeavor to see settled the deficient claim
TO Marcus Island diploma tically.
Capt Rosehill Is reported to have sailed
from Honolulu for Marcus Island in
schooner July II, and it is therefore prob
able that he already is at Marcus Island or
very near there. In that case. it may be,
the letter will come into his hands too late
to avert trouble, but the department Off
Gals are hoping fer the best.

CANADIAN PACIFIC SUBSIDY.
Government Denies That Any Conclu
sion Has Been Reached

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
The Associated Press has been requested by
the Canadian ministers, now present in
London to say that all the statements
which have appeared in the press respecting
arrangements for the establishment and
maintenance of a steamship service between
Canada and England are unauthorized and
in many respects incorrect, in so far as the
Canadian government is concerned.
Various proposals are under the consider
alton Of the ministers, but no conclusions
have been reached with regard to subsidies
and other matters.
A dispatch from Montreal yesterday says:
The board of trade held 4 general meeting
today for the purpose of discussing the pro-
posed fast Atlantic line steamship contract.
twas expected that opposition to the grant
ing of the contract to the Canadian Pa
ciflc Railway Company would develop, and
1t did, indirectly, in the resolution proposed
by President Gear of the corn exchange.
This resolution held that a service equal
to the best from New York was desirable
and that the contract should be given TO
a steamship line and not to a railway
company or combination of railways. An
amendment was moved simply calling for
a fast service of at least twenty-three
knots, the selection of the ports of call
being made secondary to speed, Quebec
and Montreal being the summer ports and
Halifax and St. John the winter ports. The
resolution also declared against the Subsi-
dizing of freight steamships. This amend
ment was carried by large majority, and
the main motion was consequently dropped.

AUSTRALIANS WANT A NAVY.
But the British Government Does Not
Favor the Plan.

LONDON, July 30.-In a dispatch from
Sydney the correspondent of the Daily
Mail says that E. Barton, prime minister
of the commonwealth of Australia (who is
now in London), has notified the govern
ment that his suggestion that the Austria
liam contributions should be applied to the
formation of the nucleus of an Australian
navy has not been received favorably by
the imperial government, the latter being
anxious that the existing arrangement con-
tinue. with the Australian contribution dou-
bled, which would enable the modernization
of the navy.
Continuing, the Daily Nails correspond
ent says Mr.. Barton declares also that the
conference Of colonial premiers has agreed
to the latter plan, subject to the approval
of the federal parliament. THE feeling
here" goes on the correspondent, ''is very
strong in favor of an Australian navy, on
the ground that 1t would offer career to
young Australians and render the colony
more independent"

HERR LoEHNING'S DOWNFALL
Due to His Marrying an Ex-Sergeant's
Daughter

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday SAYS:
The marriage of Privy Councillor Loeh-
ming to the daughter of a former sergeant
in the German army has caused Herr
Loehning's compulsory retirement 2rom the
chief dictatorship of taxes for the province
of Posen.
Herr Loehning, who was also finance
councillor, and who is a man Of wealth.
has been circulating a pamphlet among his
friends explaining his acceptance of pom
sion July 1 at the instance of Hcrr Won
Rheinbaben. the Prussian minister of
finance. The publication of this pamphlet
in today's papers has caused considerable
comment both socially and politically, be
cause Herr Loehning, as high Official,
having first-hand knowledge of the prus-
SIAN administrator of Posen, disapproVcs
of several features of the the ministry's
Polish policy. In this pamphlet Herr Loeb
ming relates that after an interchange of
communications between Berlin and the
highest administrative official of the prov
ince of PoSen, the Ober president of Posen
told him he had nothing to say against
his fiancee, but that il was impossible for
him to consent to the marriage OF one of
the highest officials of the province With
a daughter of an ex-sergeant: that it was
as though the colonel OF a regiment pro-
posed to do such a thing
ministerial councillor of a superior
government councillor might possibly mar
ry a sergeants daughter, but a privy and
finance councillor could not. The Ober
president said also that the commanding
general and the police president shared
his views on the matter. The flther of
Herr Loehning's wife is now a secretary in
one of the government offices at Posen.
Some weeks after his marriage the
finance ministry at Berlin asked Ecrr
Loehning to retire, which he did.
Herr Loehning affirms that his opinions
in the matter of the ministry's Polish poll
ley had nothing to do with his retirement
from office, but, notwithstanding this, it IS
believed these opinions probably cid have
something to do with the councillors re-
tirement
Herr Loehning affirms also in his PAM
phlet that most of the high Prussidn Of
hcials of the province of Posen condemned
the governments general policy toward the
Poles, the prosecution OF Polish news
papers and the surveillance of Polish So
cieties.
Herr Loehning, although favoring meas
ures to Germanize Poland is of the opin-
ion that this should be carried out less
ostentatiousiy. The pamphlet is the SUBJ
ject of noticeable editorial articles in the
liberal newspapers today, which brought
on attacks of the government in the diet.
The Nossiche Zeitung says il is impossible
to write about the matter coolly and that
II reads like the times preceding the battle
of Jena, when Prussian aristocracy reach
ed the acme of class insolence.
