NATION ADDING TO NAVY.
According to Present Indications,
Many Vessels VIII he Added
to the Fleet.

The United States is rapidly adding
to its navy. In three years it will prob
ably have the largest number of ships
able to engage in active warfare Of
any country in the world. Battle
ships, cruisers and monitors are now
in course of construction, and will be
launched as soon as completed, says u

The next to take to the sea is the

from Cramps shipyard next season.

honors, that the greatest rivalry ex-
lists for the honor Of breaking the

reverse of friendly or patriotic.
The selection of Miss Quay has given
universal satisfaction in Philadelphia

woman, pretty and accomplished, and
already identified in public affairs.

CURING A BALKY HORSE.
Simple Methods May lie Employed
without Resorting 10 the Use
of the Whip.

An expert states that the vice of
baking in horses is almost invariably
caused by improper breaking and
handling of the animal while Young.
1t is only high-strung and ill-tempered
horses that balk; and these are handled
with more success by humoring and
patience than by severe measures.

1t is almost impossible to follow rules

so that a driver must exercise good
tudgment-"horse sense"-in handling
a case. A very good treatment is to
watch the animal closely in places
where it would be likely to ball, and
driver should say "Whoa," then get
off and loosen or pretend to change
the harness in some way; also take up
n foot and tap the shoe with a stone.
Spend few moments leisurely in this
way, and in nine cases out of ten the
animal will forget its inclination to
balk and will go on at the first bid
ding. 1t is also well to give a lump
of sugar or handful of oats or an
apple. This will always produce bet
tex results than severe measures, :,

.MACHIAS Is THERE
Will Prevent Hasty BOmbardment
Cape Haytien.

Washington, July 29.-The follow
ing cablogram, dated today, was re-
ceived at the navy department this
afternoon from Commander McCrea,
Of the Machias, which arrived at Cape
Haytien yesterday:
"Aflairs are very much disturbed
at Cape Haytien. Unorganized mob
in the city. Foreign consuls have
b en- threatened. viii give protection
on b1oarl. L will prevent bomba: d.
m1nt Without due notice.
The state department has no hesjta-
tion in fully approving the energetic
and sufficient action Of Conmauder
McCrea in. taking care Of the foreign,
consuls and in preventing lombard
ment without warning. The American
and foreign interests in Cape Haytien
are large, and an American captain
is required by the unwritten law to
look after the life and property Of
other foreign residents as well as
Americans in such cases. II is said
that the rules of International law as
we'll as the dictates Of humanity re.
quire that proper notice be given be-
fore bombardment, in order that
women, children and non-oombatants
may leave the town and carry Off their
personal belongings.
The navy department feels that the
Machias is sufficiently large for the
work at hand at this point, though, if
there we're more sucn American gun
boats in the Gulf and caribbean, a
quieting and restraining influence
would be exerted over these frequent
rebellious outbreaks, involving viola
tions of the rules of war and great
suffering. However, there is no naval
vessel, save those now actually en-
gagged in such service as the Machias,
within /, 800 miles of the various seats
of trouble in Central and South
America and the West Indies. The
Machias is a vessel iof =, 1T tons, car
rying eight 4.inch rapid7Gre guns,
and crew of eleven officers and 143
men. While not many men could be
spared for landing party, the vessel
undoubtedly could lie in the anchor
age and cover the town with her guns,
It is not believed that there is the
slightest danger of an attack upon her
by any of the Hayden gunboats, loyal

KING WALKS AGAIN
Little Doubt That He Will be Able to
be Crowned Aug. 9.

wv - Wv hN'N nus ~
London, July 20.-The latest and
most reliable information indicates
that King Edwards doctors we're not
mistaken in fixing August as the
date upon which his majesty could be
crowned, The sinister rumors which
have prevailed all classes for the last
few days now appear to have lost that
semblance of probability which made
even the members of the cabinet nor
vous lest another postponement of the
coronation might be necessiteted.
The apprehensl on that King Edward
would be unable to stand the strain of
the coronation ceremony has been
greatly lessened by the announcement
that his majesty is now permitted to
use his feet and, with the aid of stick
has done. a little walking. Another
late telegram from Cowes saying that
nearly all the restrictions upon the
Kings diet have been Withdrawn, has
been welcomed as evidence that the re-
cent ominous deductions were drawn
without due allowance for the doctor 5
extreme cautiousness. While the king
was testing his ability to walk, two
stalwart jackies stood at his side
After this experiment, which BODIED
well for his fulfilling the necessary
coronation functions at Westminster
abbey, King Edward sat smoking on
the deck of the royal yacht and watch
ed the races of the small yachts off
Cowes.
Those who drew inferences from the
fact that the invitations to West
minister Abbey we're not dated have
had their fears dissipated by the pro
clamation publishedin the Gazette to-
night fixing August as the date fer
coronation, which post dates and is
altogether more important than any
thing which might or might not have
appeared upon the cards of invita-
tions.
According to the present arrenge-
ments, King Edward and Queen Alex
andria will leave Cowes either August
& or August for Buckingham palace,
aud will return to the royal yacht
August Is. when the entire fleet will
pass before King Edward and salute
him, thus making a second naval re
view. After his return to the yacht
the king is expected to take an ex-
tended cruise to the northward and
subseq uently to spend some weeks at
Balmoral, where preparations for the
arrival of their ma iesties have already
been commenced.

RIOT AT PRIMARIES
Serious Trouble Yesterday in New
Jersey.

Camden, n. j. July 2S.-The prim-
AIRY election for delegates to the Re
publican convention of the First con
gressiOnal district Of New Jersey were
held this afternoon and evening in
Camden, Gloucester and Salem coun-
ties, which comprise the district. The
candidates for the nomination are
Henry G. Loudenslager, the present
congressman, and j. Alpheus Van
Hant. The contest has been one of
the most bitter ever held in Southern
New Jersey, The polls were open from
D p. m. to 8 p. m, and the three hours
we're marked with serious fighting.
One man was killed in this city, and
Joe" Goddard, the we'll known
heavyweight pugilist, of Philadelphia,
was probably fatally shot while elec-
tioneering in Pensauken township; an
other man was dangerously stabbed
in this city, and fourth man re-
ceived stab wounds at "Dog Corner"
near Merchantville.
Goddard was at voting place in
Pensauken township when he was shot.
He was with number of men who
were travelling from one polling place
to another. The pugilist got into
quarrel with Il colored constable
named Robert Washington. 1t is
alleged that Goddard assaulted the
constable with u baseball bat, and
that the constable, in self defense,
shot Goddard in the head. The con-
stable surrendered himself to the
police, and the alleged prizelighter
was brought to Cooper hospital, here,
where the physicians say he may die.
Near the polling place, Constable
Isaac Fowler, while in a fight, was
stabbed twice. His wounds, though
painful, are not considered serious.
The most serious airray occurred at
Third and Beckett streets in this city.
Each side had a crowd at the polling
place at that point and general riot
was started. When it was all over it
was found that John Morrissey, Of
Philadelphia had been shot through
the heart 10y some unknown person
and that a policeman, not in uniform,
named Harry Miller, had received two
cuts on the head and probable fatal
stab wound in the left lung.

ANOTHER HITCH FEARED
Impression That Coronation Must be
Again POstpOned.

London, July 20.--Coronation seats
cannot be sold even at reduced prices,
and there is a steadily increasing feel
ing of uneasiness respecting the kings
condition. Outwardly, there is every
indication that the coronation will oc-
cur in two weeks. Medical bulletins
are favorable, rehearsals are in pro
gress, proclamations posted, the pro-
cesses of redecorating the approaches
to the abbey resumed and prepara-
tions arc making for the naval review,
but there are still persistent reports
that the coronation will he deferred II
second time. There are strong rea-
sons for believing that the queen, the
Prince of Wales and other members
Of the royal family are dreading the
necessity of n second postponement,
but they are not prepared to assume
responsibility in advising it, since
they fear the mental effect upon the
patient.
The Gazette contains royal pro
clamation fixing August . us the date
for the coronation which says: 1--WE
were constrained to ad journ to day
in August" " and adds (Which we have
resolved by the favor and blessing of
Almighty God to celebrate on the
aforesaid date"

THIRTY THOUSAND IN CASH.

Practical Spirit.

The italian bankers of Elizabeth and
Mulberry streets are filing their show
windows with greenbacks in an eff
fort to attract trade and convince the

About noon two men with long whis-

TRIUMpHS OF WOMEN.
Some OF Them Are Displaying QunI-
tiles They Were Not Supposed
to Possess.

Every day women are displaying
traits of character that excite both
surprise and admiration, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. In brooklyn the other
day Mrs. Lennie Kelley saved the life
of her aged father by climbing over
the dashboard of the buggy in which
they were driving on the Concy Island
boulevard and selling the reins that
had dropped from his hands and were
dangling at the heels of their run
away horse. Would PAMELA or Claris-
sa or even Nine. De Staers extraor-
dinary heroine, Delphine, have done
that?
In Pittsburg Mrs. Sarah Il. Mccoy,
in a law court, has just excelled in the
intellectual feat of Portia, and has
surpassed many shining masculine
lights of the bar, for she managed her
own case in breach of promise suit
and proved, too, contrary to the old
adage, that she did not have fool for a
client There were some novelties in
her methods of examining witnesses,
as, for instance, her telling one of
them point blank that he was liar.
In the first case there was a triumph
of nerve and muscle and in the second
OF nerve and intellect. The obvious
conclusion is that the era in which
woman was u "downtrodden creature"
is fully past, for, with qualifying ex-
pcrience of the world, she is now quite
capable of defending her own and OF
holding it.

TALK OF THE MERGER
Packers Believed TO BE Getting Nearer
COnsdmmati0n.

Constipation.
Kansas City, July 30. There is one
fine feature of all the packing house
merger" rumors and the conjectures
about a great struggle between the
merged" packers and the stock yards
interests, or between Armour q Co +,
and the Swifts, namely, that the pivo-
tai point-indeed, the battle-ground
is Kansas City. Thus it is evident
that although Chicago is the biggest
packing center in the world and Kan
sas City is the second, the brunt of the
future bears upon this city.
The Kansas City Stock Yards com
pany exists because of The packers
that is plain. Hence the packers have
demanded and received bonuses from
the Kansas City Stock Yards COM
pany. 1t is believed that the Armours
got 100000 from the Stock Yards
company when their plant was en-
larged. The origin Of the st. Joseph
stock yards was when the Kansas
City company refused to contribute to
the expansion Of Swift's a cool mil
lion dollars.
Thus situation was created stimuli
taneously of the great packers feeling
that they might as well take and pos
sess all the profits of the stock yards
business-which they created and of
bo Gtaply Nar1u .pfnnanv il, co1f do
fense, figuring on bucking the big
packers.
The consequence is great unrest in
packing house circles. But whatever
is being done is along financial lines
and the local managers know nothing
about it except their conjectures. The
base of operation is New York and
Boston.
BIT the story of the great "packing
house merger" grows powerfully in
stead of diminishing in belief and it
forms today the chief object of in
terest in the business which is the
foundation of Kansas City. This
much s'fact; The stock of the great
Swifts concern has gone up from 10
to l77l. The Kansas City stock yards
stock has declined from 125 to par.
The big packers, Armour, Swift, and
Morris, have been absorbing the
smaller houses. In Kansas City the
Swfts take possession OF the Fowler
plant today. 1t is believed that the
five great packers Swift,
Morris, Schwarzschild 81 Sultzberber
and Cudahy-are about to combine
and seize the immensely profitable
stock yards business. OF these con
Germs only the stock of Swift's is on
the stock market and so the interest
centers on this concern, which has
absorbed the Fowler plant here and
whose stock has been going skyward.
The Armour stock is held close in big
blocks and so the purchase OF the
G. II. Hammond company with plants
at South Omaha and Hammond,
Ind, by the Armours has only acted
to excite further interest in SwifL's,
whose stock is on the market and who
may join the Armours or fight them i
