teamsters at the Grand Pacific hotel an
agreement was reached which is par
tial victory for the teamsters, in that

the only rebel whose intentions were
doubtful has already come in. Prep
arations are being made to resume the
night train service to all points.

Three Fires in Two Days.

On Sunday evening about $50 the
old Walker residence on the Mt. Free
dom road near the Walton Cottage,
now known as the Alpton. was entire
ly destroyed by flames. The house
had been unoccupied since last fall
and the origin of the blaze is mys-
terry. The supply wagon of the Reso-
ute Fl. & L. 90. could not reach the
house before the fire had gained great
headway and the Chemical engine
which had also started returned after
the members found their machine
would be of no assistance. The loss
will probably be about $1,000 covered
by insurance.
Last Saturday evening house oc-
cupied by Nicholas Marianaro near
Speedwell Lake was nearly destroyed
by fire. The origin of the blaze is un-
known, but it probably Estarted from
defective fue. The loss will proba-
bly, aggregate 50. 900 fully covered
by insurance.
A still alarm was responded to by
the Chemical Engine Monday morn
ing when an oil stove in the house
occupied by Mrs. Edward Cobbett, No.
Ga Market street. was accidentally
turned over. The fire was quickly
extinguished with but little damage.

Judge Taft presented the pontiff with
box containing President Roosevelts
literary works, and the pope expressed
his thanks for Mr.. Roosevelt's friendly
greetings, promised to study the diff
cult question and said he hoped for
good results. The pontiff also asked
Judge Taft to thank President Roose-
velt for his gift.
While talking with the pope Governor
Taft reviewed in a summary way the
questions in the Philippines which re-
quire settlement He pointed out to his
holiness that the readjustment of the
relations of church and state in the is
lands was not an indication of hostility
of the United States to the Catholic
church, but declared that such read
justment was merely a necessity under
the American constitution. Governor
Taft referred to the prosperity and the
freedom of the Roman Catholic church
in the United States and cited these
conditions as an assurance that the
Vatican had nothing to fear from the
extension of the authority of the Unit
ed States over the Philippine Islands.
Replying to Judge Taft, the pontiff
expressed the greatest pride in the Ro-
man Catholic church in the United
States and intense interest in the great

HAVANA, June 6.-General Maxine
Gomez has published an open letter
here in which he refuses to accept the
annual pension of $4,000 provided for
him in a resolution which is now be-
fore the Cuban house of representa-

to defeat this resolution, saying it
would be unfair for him to accept
money so long as the other Cuban sol

the government for war services which
some day will have to be paid, but that

Mob Rule In Providence.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., June GA
reign of violence in connection with the
street railway strike made last evening
the most exciting period in the exist
ence of this community. Crowds of
men which blocked the streets hooted
and jeered at the officers and passen-
gers of passing cars, hurting missiles
of every description through windows,
cutting trolley ropes and defacing with
knives the interior fittings of cars. All
the officers from the suburban stations
were brought to the center of the city,
and reserves finally were called out.
Clubs were used freely in half a dozen
individual riots. Mounted men charged
the crowds, and twenty-five arrests
were made in the many attempts to
preserve order. The initial cause of the
disturbance was the parade of about
300 striking conductors and motormen

raised in the broadcast and most con-
ciliatory spirit The pope said also that
matters of detail in connection with
the questions to be decided would be
referred to a committee of cardinals,
by whom they would be considered at
length, and that all the issues would be
treated with the sole aim of reaching a
settlement satisfactory to all parties
concerned.
The pope appeared to be in excellent
health in his interview with Governor
Taft and was of vivacious humor. He
referred pleasantly to Archbishop Ire
land in what he had to say concerning
the Roman Catholic church in the
United States.

MAJOR GARDENERS CHARGES.
They Are Being Fully investigated by
n Military Board.


WASHINGTON. May ga cablegram
has been received at the War Department
from General Chaffee. replying to Secre-
tary Roots message regarding the in
~vestigation of Major Gardeners charges.
Following is an extract from the messages:
with reference to your telegram of the
first, Major Cornelius Gardener has filed
few specifications, and they are very gen.
eral in character. Ii one instance he
gives the name OF an officer. The board
consists of Colonel Theodore J. Whit, Lieu
tenant Colonel JOS. w. Duncan and Cap
tain William L. Johnston, sitting at Lu-
cena, under instructions TO afford Major
Gardener full opportunity TO substantiate
every allegation. Major Gardener has tel
e~Sraphed Luke Wright that investigation
has developed into an attack on him and
has asked for counsel. First Lieutenant
Trent has been authorized TO aid him. Whit
has been directed to afford Major Car
dener every opportunity. The following is
his reply Captain Harry b. Bondholtz.
Governor, has since yesterday acted coun-
sci for Major Gardener who, W to the
present, declines to furnish names of any
witnesses to the board. He has brought
several witnesses, but so far his proce-
dure indicates he does not desire a full in
vestigation, as ordered. The board has had
no desire 10 attack Major Gardener, but
is pursuing a rigid investigation of his al
legations, Irrespective of what he wishes,
and will not permit him 10 shape or dictate
the course of the investigation
Il think any objection OF Major Gardener
lays in the TACT that the board desires TO
test the accuracy OF HIS Information and
the condition of Tayabas when he was
Governor. Some time must necessarily
elapse before the report is completed. Prob
ably many witnesses are 10 be examined"
The secretary OF war transmitted this
message TO Senator Lodge, chairman of the
Philippine committee. with a copy OF a
cabiegram sent TO him to-day by General
ChaTee in response TO the latter's message.
as follows: Gable In full Major Gardeners
specifications Your directions TO afford
Gardener every opportunity are approved.
Board should be specifically e~njoined not 10
permit the proceeding TO assume a charac-
ter giving the least color 10 a claim that
there ia an attack on him or allow II 10 be
in any way diverted from a full and fair
investigation OF the truth OF his charges"
