Chatham, Mass, Aug. 8-Tbe
twenty-third annual meeting and re-
gatta of the American Canoe associa-
tion began at Pleasant Bay today and
will continue for the next two weeks.
There is good attendance, among
those present being many fast paddlers
from various parts of this country and
Canada. Thuogh the location of the
camp is no salt water it is considered
particularly well adapted for canoeing
purposes, and especially convenient for
the Canadians aud the men of the
eastern division, which includes all of
New England. Last year the crack
eanoeists were somewhat conspicuous
by their absence, hut this season many
of them have had u return of their
old time enthusiasm. Among the
prominent paddlers here are Paul But

Inauguration of Assouan Dam.

London, Aug. Sit is stated thai
the Prince of Wales and General
Kitchener will be present with the
khediye of Egypt at the formal inaug.
uration of the great Assouan dam in
December The dam at Assouan, the
last coping stone of which was laid
with suitable ceremonies last week,
marks the completion of the Nile res
ervoir which, with the exception of
| the Suez canal. is considered the great
est of all the public works constructed
in Egypt during the British occupa-
tion of that land 1t is but fitting
therefore that its Inauguration should
be attended by the heir to the throne
and the general who did so much for
the pacficstion of the upper Nile re-
gion
The new reservoir will enable wide
tracts of land to bear two crops a year
instead of one, will bring waste dis
tricts into tillage, and will greatly
increase the area of sugar cultivation.
The reservoir will supply 900. 600, 600
cubic meters of water annually. The
dam at Assouan is Ia miles long.
1t is pierced by 1870 openings, which
have steel sluice gates.
The news that the Nile reservoir
was to be begun was contained in an
nouncement ON February 20, 1898, to
the effect that the khedive in council
had approved contract with John
debated question. The contract called
for the completion of the two dams
in five years from July /, 1898, and
the contractors agreed to accept pay
ments by annual installments of
$500, 900, beginning CD the completion
of the dams and extending over thirty
years-a total of $24 900, 900. Work
was begun Immediately after the con
tract was signed, and about year ago
it was stated that progress had been
made so much more rapid than had
been expected that there was reason to
believe that the undertaking would be
completed six months earlier than was
originally thought possible. Contin-
nous employment on the Assouan dam
has been given for the last eighteen
months to 1000 operatives, 80 per

It was reported the Chicago Board Of
Trade claimed a proprietary right in it's
quotations and under the new bucket
shop law sought to compel grain specu-
lators in different states to pay for the
use of them. The Christie company
fought the case on the ground that the
Chicago Board Of Trade itself was a

ther that its quotations were public

5000 STRIKE
Freight Handlers in Chicago
~ Decide To-day to
, = 10 Out. ~'.

Chicago, July TIA strike OF the freight
handlers has been ordered. The men
paraded and held a meeting on the lake
front. Between 5000 and 5000 men are
out and all the railroads entering Chicago
are affected. !. : -" -"' -
Several days ago the freight handlers
union submitted proposition to the gen
eral managers Of the railways, asking for
an increase in the scale OF wages: The
request was refused. The railroads, how
ever offered to confer with committees
from their own naen in an effort to effect
a compromise, but they refused to recog-
nize the officers of the union This was
unsatisfactory to the men, as recognition
OF the union was one of the principal de-
mands made in the proposition submitted
to the railways. I.
Every freight house of the twenty-four
railroads concerned Is practically tied up.
. At noon President Curran, Of the union,
reported that his men were all out and
that 1t was all but impossible for any
freight to enter Chicago or to leave it.
Many OF the railroads had small forces of
men previously hired on hand when the
strike was called and by adding to It men
from other departments they managed to
handle perishable commodities.
In the hiring Of non union men 1t is said
the ailroads- run a serious risk Of bring
ing about strike Of the teamsters who
recently won their fight from the packers
The teamsters, it is said, will refuse ab-
solutely TO have anything to do with
freight in any way handled by nom union
help.
The men called out include foremen,
check, re-check. receiving and delivery
clerks, callers, weighmasters, stevedores,
coopers and elevator men.
Chief of Police O'Neill when notified
that strike had been called, sent or
ders to his subordinates to make every
preparation to preserve order. Two hum
dred and fifty men were called in from
outlying stations to form a reserve force
to be stationed at the downtown stations
From the. stations the men went in squads
to the different yards. There was no
marked demonstration as they entered,
although they had to remain quiet under
running fire of sarcasm and rough wit.

FOR THE MURDER OF TWO
JURY READY FOR TRIAL OF ADDY
Theory of State Is That Fire Was
Started to Conceal a Double
Crime.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Litchheld, Mimi, July IA jury to try
Frank Addy, charged with first degree
murder, Will be secured this afternoon.
The regular panel and special venire OF
tlirty-t1ve men were exhausted on Satur-
day. = Twelve men were summoned this
morning and still ten more this afternoon.
Eleven jurors had been accepted at noon,
leaving the task for the afternoon not an
arduous one.
On last New Years evening the
residence of Milton Gorton, four miles
north, was burned and Gorton and his
wife, aged and weakly people, were
burned, nothing but their blackened bones
being found. Addy was the hired man
and was the only other person on the
place, so far as known. The state will
attempt to show that Addy killed the old
couple for the money he knew them to
have. and then set the house on fire to
conceal the double murder. He escaped
from the house only half-clad and without
his personal effects. The state asserts it
has found new evidence and there are in
timations that others will be implicated
in the case.
John G. Byrnes and H. S. McMonag1e of
Litchfield will defend Addy under ap-
pointment Of the court.

AS A LEADER
The Presidents Campaign
for Anti Trust Leg
~. islation. -~
It Is Marked by the Use
Made of the "Younger
Element"


Building, Washington.
Washington, July 7.-President Roose-
velts contemplated campaign for con-
gressional legislation for the control and
supervision Of trusts, as announced in the
dispatches from Oyster Bay, is the chief
topic of discussion among such members
of congress as still remain in the city.
What gives it additional interest is the
knowledge that the president will have
some things to say about it in his
speeches later on.
The selection of Representative Little
field to frame the administration bill and
to champion the legislation in the house
is more significant, if possible, than the
rest OF the announcement. 1t means. for
one thing. that the president is in
earnest. In choosing Littlefield, Presi-
dent Roosevelt selected a man whom he
knew to be in harmony with himself on
this topic. He overlooked all the regu-
lar house leaders and took a man who is
serving only second term In congress,
and who ranks seventh among the repub-
licans of the judiciary committee.
Chairman, Ray of that committee, was
quietly passed by. Mr.. Ray took the po-
sition at the beginning of this session
that President Roosevelt know nothing
Of the legal aspects Of publicity" remedy
for trusts and that there can be no legis-
lat1on except by states or through con-
stitutional amendment. Mr.. Ray did not
take any steps to carry out the recon-
mendations of the president in his
message, and when Littlefeld, who is
recognized as a fine constitutional lawyer,
introduced a bill in harmony with Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation, Mr..
Ray saw that it was pigeonholed.
The president has evidently become dis
gusted with the old leadership in con-
gress, and it may be said that he will lend
his aid to the advancement of some of the
younger, newer and more sincert mem
bers. 1t would not be surprising if there
were a new leadership. developed to take
the place of the old leaders.
