English Things 10 be, Fashionable

The wants Of wOmans wardrobe
know no vacations. However briIn-
ming over and full to bursting may be
the trunks that accompany the summer
girl OF matron to mountain or sea-
shore, not a month will pass without
need of replenishment. The fact IS,
80 many more clothes are needed in
the summer than at other seasons that,
no matter how generous a supply may
be provided in the spring, it il sure 10
prove insufficient for unexpected de-
mands and accidents. 1t is from these
late summer orders that pretty definite
ideas may be gained Of early fall fash
ions.
There is every reason to believe that
a good many English things will be
worn during the coming months. Old

KILLING OF STRIKER DURHAM.
Coroner's Jury Places Responsibility
 on Private wadsworth.

Shenandoah, Pa, Oct. 1S.-The coro- ner's jury in the case of William Dur ham. who was shot and killed on We'd nesday night last by Private Arthur Wadsworth, of the Eighteenth regi- ment, National Guard, to-day returned a verdict placing the responsibility for the death upon Wadsworth, expressing the belief that the shooting was hasty and unjustifiable, and recommending that the matter be placed in the hands of the district attorney for investiga- ton.
 Wadsworth was on guard at the house of a non-unionist where an attempt to blow up the house with dynamite had been made few nights previous. Late on Wednesday night Durham approach ed the house, and, paying no attention to Wadsworth's order to halt, was shot and instantly killed by the soldier It is supposed Durham did not hear the command to halt, or that he thought the guard his friend. It is said he was formerly National Guardsman, and had a number of personal friends in some of the regiments, and that he fre- quently visited them while on provost duty.

Fnmous Prison Ship Found.

New York, Oct. 13.-After lying buried for over a century the famous English prison ship Jersey, in which several hundred Americans were mar tyred while the British held New York in the days of the Revolution, has been accidentally discovered at the Brooklyn navy yard by the workmen who are putting up the launching stays for the battleship Connecticut. Historical as- sociations have been searching for the Jersey for fifty years. The half-burn- ed hull of the ship is lying under twelve or fourteen feet of dirt and water, and is in perfect condition.

BLAMES PENNSYLVANIA.
Sen ntor spooner Declares the State Re, spoDsibIe for Present Conditions.

Milwaukee. Wis, Oct. 13.-United 1 States Senator John c. Spooner made his first speech of the republican cam paign in Wisconsin at Schlitz Park in this city tonight. During the course of his remarks he paid a magnificent tribute to President Roosevelt. Touch ing upon the coal strike the speaker said:
 l The coal strike is an element which
 disturbs the people of this whole coun-
 try. Does any man attribute it to the republican policies? Who does? It is
 a quarrel between the operators, the coal mining companies and their men, l in which I synnpathize with the men. The coal combination is one which eX-
 ists in violation of the constitution of the state of Pennsylvania, which pro-
 hibits a railroad company from owning 1 or operating coal miens. If that con- stitutional provision has not been en- 1 forced it is not the fault of the re- publican party in the United States, It l is the fault of the commonwealth of | PennsyiVania.
 l No man can contribute the founding
 and continuance of the so-called coal 1 trust to national legislation. It cannot
 be attributed to the tariff, for until a duty-and a small duty-on anthracite
 coal found it's way somehow-I have yet 1 to find the man who knows how-intC l the Dingley law there had been no tar
 if on anthracite coal. The government
 of the United States cannot enforce the
 constitution of state in a state. The
 coal operators had no right to stand out l upon a difference of that sort with theil
 men till the verget of winter and until
 there was forced upon the apprehension of our people a coal famine which would l affect detrimentally nota simply indus tries but men and women and children
 their health and life. If they had &C.,
 corded the increase Of wages which the
 men demanded, you and would have
 been obliged to pay it. for they would have added it to the price of coal anG
 we would have gladly paid it to avert
 this trouble"

MITCHELL SILENT.
Declined to Mako Statement Last Night
 on Operators Plan.


 Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 4-President Mitchell when shown a synopsis of the statement issued from the White house about midnight, in which the operators agree to arbitration, refused to make any comment and immediately retired. A few moments later a full copy of the statement was brought to strike head quarters, but he refused to get up to see it. The correspondents talked with him through the transom of his bed room, and in answer to further ques- tions he said he knew about what the statement contained.
 While no official information can be had at this time, it is now believed the arbitration plan proposed by the oper- ators will be entirely satisfactory, and the miners officials may waive any ob- jections they may have and accept it.

DECISION AGAINST SC4LPERs
Brokers EDj joined from Selling Special
 G. A. R. Tickets.


 G. A. R. Tickets.
 Washington, Oct. 13-A decision of sweeping importance to ticket scalpers and the railroad passenger business generally was delivered to-day by Jus tice Hagner, of the equity court of the District of Columbia, who permanently enjoined thirty three of the local ticket brokers from selling the Grand Army special excursion tickets issued by the Pennsylvania, Southern, Baltimore and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio rail- roads. The defense of the brokers was that they were pursuing regular, li- censed business, and that the railroads, in combining in the establishment Of a joint ticket agency here during the en- campraent for the viseing of return tickets. etc., violated the sherman anti trust law. The court held that the tickets sold by the roads on account of the Grand Army encampment bore con- tracts signed by the purchasers in the presence of a witness and were abso- lutely void when used by any other than the regular purchaser. The tick cts distinctly read that any one except the original purchasers attempting to use them would be subject to prosecu" tion for forgery. The contract signed by the original purchaser is absolute, according to the court, and any viola tion of it constituted fraud, on which the suit at bar for the injunction prop ertv was based. The court declared that the contentious O. the complaining roads were tenable.
 AS to the claim of the defendants that the roads violated the antitrust law, the court held that the joint ticket agency could not be considered in that light. as the agency had notl1ing to do with the fixing of rates. Further, the defendants had shown that they were violating the law and could not press as defense the violation of a law by another party. The brokers, however, gained another days delay by the fact that none of the bonds presented by the railroad companies were executed prop erly when offered this afternoon, and the brokers claim that the delay so caused will permit them to sell off the tickets remaining unsold. The decision affects ouly special excursion tickets, non transferable and bearing signed contracts, and does not apply to regu- lar tickets.

London, Oct. 14.-A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Volo, Greece, says that twenty-two villages in Macedonia are in complete revolt and that half a bat. talion of Turkish troops has been anni- Inflated by insurgents in the Krezna Defile. This news, continues the dis patch, emanates from sources which have hitherto mininized the troubles. The situation, therefore, appears sud- denly to have grown worse.

Committee of Ten Meet at Controller
 Rowe's House.
 The committee of ten which was ap- pointed to furnish fuel for the city at cost or as near to that as possible, and Controller Rowe, to whom was granted $5,000 for the purchase of wood met last night at the home of Controller Rowe and talked over the matter of buying wood, either cut or standing for the use of the New Haven people. The conn mittee of ten held a short session in city hall before meeting MT Rowe, and decided that as MT. Rowe had the money and they the wood, 1t would be a benefit to both if they could get to- gether and decide on something.
 Nothing final was done at the meet ing excepting to request Mayor Studley to call special meeting of the board of aldermen for the purpose of giving the committee of ten more power than they have at the present time.

 King Edward, i'm Confiaing the Miss

 tain and Strengthen the Good Rein-
 tions Existing-Prcstdent's Hearty
 Response.
 Washington, Oct. 13.-Sir Michael Her. bert, the new British ambassador, was presented to the president to-day by Secretary Hay. The presentation took place in the temporary white house and this was probably the first occasion since the white house has been occu- pied as the presidential mansion that the credentials of an ambassador or minister have been received outside of it's doors.
 The speeches exchanged were as fol- lows:
 MT President. I have the honor to place in your hands a letter from the king, my august sovereign, accrediting me as his ambassador to the United States of America.
 Tn confiding this high mission to me his majesty has charged me to main tain and strengthen the good relations which so happily exist between Great Britain and the United States.
 "Sir: I have long had a profound ad- miratIo for the people and institutions of the great country over which you so ably preside and no task could be more congenial to me or more in conformity with my personal sentiments than that of carrying out my sovereign's com mands

But undertake his succession, trust ing in your indulgence and no effort shall be wanting on my part to further augment the present friendly feeling between the two great English speak ing nations which he did so much to bring about.
 "In conclusion, sir allow me to eX- press my very best wishes for your per- sonal welfare and for your rapid resto- ration to health"
 Tothis expression President Roosevelt replied:
 MT Ambassador: It affords me sin cere qualification to receive from your hands the letter whereby your sovereign accredits you as his ambassador to the United States, and to welcome you in that capacity. It is especially pleasing to me that his majesty's choice has fall- en upon one who, by previous official residence in this country, is to agree ably known here and who is, moreover, so well fitted by acquaintance with the workings of our government and by personal association with our people to carry out his najesty's announced wish that the conduct of your mission may contribute to maintain and strengthen the good relations which so fortunately exist between Great Britain and the fContinued on Third Page)
