RELIEF FROM MANHATTAN BRIDGE
Mr. Lindenthal Admits New Loops Have Not
Been a Success.

Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal said yesterday
that the four additional loops at the Manhattan end
Of the Brooklyn Bridge had not afforded the OK
pecteo rehef. and that the crowding was as bad
as before the loops were built Mr. IindenthaI de-
clared that the additional loops had created the i'm
preston that the capacity of the Bridge had been
greatly increased, and this had attracted many
people to the bridge who were not using it in the
rush hours before.
The only thing that will bring relief to Brooklyn
and break up congestion at the Manhattan terni-
nal is the speedy building of the Manhattan
Bridge" said the Commissioner

CONVICTS KILL PURSUERS.
Fugitfves Engage In a Fatal Fight
and Apparently Have Made
Successful Retreat.

Placervi1le, Cal, Aug. 3.-The con-
victs who escaped from Folsom prison
are still at large. The five who en-
gagged in a fatal fight with the pur-
suers at the Grand Victory mines,
Sunday night, have not been seer
since. and apparently have made a
successful retreat. In their haste to
get away from the militia and sher-
ifs posse they left a water can, sew
eral hats and some firearms on the
hillside where the conflict occurred
The dead bodies of Festus Ruther-
ford and w. G. Jones, the two militia
men who were shot by the convicts,
were found this morning where they
we're shot. Jones had served in the
Philippines as member of the First
Tennessee and the Thirty-seventh vol
unteer United States infantry. AL.
Gill, the national guardsman who was
shot through one lung, is not expected
to recover Another victim of the
convict chase was Philip Singer, a
resident of this district. He is hard
of hearing. and, failing to respond to
an order to halt, was fatally shot by
picket.
A report received states that four
convicts not believed to be the same
who ambushed the officers last night
were discovered near Lotus, in the
Webber creek district by posse. A
number of shots were exchanged, but
so far as known without result.

SWORE AT THE PRESIDENT.
rected to President and Family
While ON Their Way to Church.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 3.-Profane
and abusive language was directed
toward President Roosevelt and his
family, Sunday, as they were driving
up to Christ church, to attend the
morning service. The offender was a
resident of Oyster Bay, McCann by
name. He was hustled away from the
church unceremoniously by ttAe secret
service operatives.
Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and
two of her children, the president had
driven to the village FROM Sycamore
Hill to attend church as their custom
on Sunday mornings. Directly in
front of the church McCann was
walking along the roadside pushing a
bicycle As the presidents carriage
was about to turn into the driveway
leading to the church grounds it
passed McCann. McCann, with an
oath, demanded to know whether they
wanted the whole road. This was fol-
lowed by abusive and profane Ian
guage. As the carriage stopped at the
church door, the president, greatly
annoyed at the insult offered to Mrs.
Roosevelt and the children, alighted
and directed the attention of the Sc
cret service officers to the man, and
ordered that he be compelled to leave
the vicinity of the church. McCann
hesitated when ordered to move on,
but as an officer was about to stimu-
late his movements he.sprang on his
wheel and rode away rapidly. While
the incident was annoying to the
president and his family, it is his ie-
sire that no action be taken against
the man

Mississippi Crops.

If the reports of reliable mer-
chants and farmers who have the
opportunity to see the crops are to
be taken as an evidence of their
condition the present cotton crop in
Mississippi cannot be called an ay-
erage crop. In some portions of
the State the crop is reported to~be
in good condition and growing rap
idly, but it is agreed by all who are
in position to know that the crop is
late. In some places it is later than
in other places, but in no place is it
less than two to three weeks late.
Reports from correspondents in
different points in Mississippi have
been received during the past week,
showing the condition of the crop.
They all agree that the crop is late.
Some of them say that it is small
and grassy, and one correspondent
says that it is the poorest crop he
has ever seen. The reports from
the corn crop are very encouraging,
some reporting that the crop is not
only the largest ever planted, but is
in the best condition. Judging
from the reports corn will be for
sale from many sections in Missis-
sippi.

KINGS VISIT A GREAT SUCCESS.
VIII Open New Era Of PrOsperfty-
Irelnnd's Troubles VIII Soon
Disappear.

London. Aug. 3.-In replying to an
address presented to their majesties
at Queenstown Saturday, the king
said that the queen and himself
''looked forward to renewing in fu-
ture years the happy experience OF
the present visit
This promise of another visit to
Ireland has given the greatest satis-
faction throughout the country and
the morning papers here all pay trib-
utes to the inestimable service which
the king has rendered the realm by
his tactful conduct.
The visit is commented on as u
great success, which will open up
new era of prosperity for Ireland, and
the address issued by the king at
Cowes yesterday is welcomed as a
felicitous ending of memorable
journey. Even the Irish papers are
enthusiastic, declaring if only the
king will pay yearly visits or send the
prince of Wales, if he can not como
himself. that Ireland's troubles will
soon begin to disappear.
Before leaving Queenstown the
king summoned Horace Plunkett.
vice-president of the department of
agriculture and technical instruction
for Ireland, aboard the royal yacht
and complimented him on his work
in Ireland's behalf, conferred the hon.
or of knighthood and presented him
with knight commandership of the
Victorian Order. saying:
81 wish you to take it as a personal
gift from myself
The king further commanded the
lord lieutenant of Ireland to an
nounce that his majesty had received
from Lord Iveagh Edward Cecil
Guinness) S25o,000 to be devoted to
the Dublin hospitals, Catholics as well
as Protestants, in memory OF the

WILL TURN OVER A NEwLEAF.
Open" Town. VIII Go In For
Law enforcement.

Evansville. Ind, Aug. 3.-Evansyitle.
that has been known for years as n
''wide open" town, win turn a new
leaf, and for time, at least. will "be
good"
The slot machines were taken out
of the saloons upon order OF Mayor
Charles G. Covert and the saloons
were forced to close their doors at
midnight Saturday and stay closed
until five o'clock Monday morning. IL
is announced from the city building
that the Sunday closing law will be
strictly enforced every Sabbath day.
This reform was brought about by
the demand of the better citizens
stree the riot here early in July.
1t has been claimed that the in
direct cause of the outbreak of law
lessness was the non-enforcement OF
the laws. Saloons have run night and
day, on holidays and on the Sabbath
without interference, and money slot
machines are to be found in nearly all
the saloons of the city and county
Since the riot petition after petition
has been sent to Mayor Covert, asking
him to enforce the laws. Ministers
have demanded of him to act, as wei,
as business clubs and commercial or
CARNATIONS.
Orders were issued to the saloon
keepers informing them that they
would be compelled to observe the
laws. The mayor will not stop with
the closing of the saloons on Sunday
and the throwing out of the money
slot machines, but all gambling rooms
in the city will be closed. and the po-
lice instructed to keep them closed.
How long this reform will last is a
matter of conjecture. Mayor Covert
is known as friend of the liberal
element" Since his election he has
permitted the saloons to remain open
on Sunday There was no special de-
mand made of him to enforce the
liuuor laws

The First Primary May Decide.

As the candidates for governor
are now rounding into the stretch
for the last struggle, the question
of which will win is becoming de-
bated with more and more warmth.
The three aspirants are making ex-
traordinary exertions and generally
have two appointments in a day to
be filled. All three of them seem
to have settled down upon the idea
of winning, if possible, in the first
primary. That is to say, each man
realizes the possibility Of this under
the plurality provision of the new
law, which gives the nomination to
the plurality man who can secure
majority of the electoral vote.
Each county has double as many
electoral votes as it has representa-
tives in the lower house of the leg
islature, and the candidate who gets
the plurality in county is enti-
tied to the electoral vote of the
county. Each gubernatorial candi-
date is therefore working hard to
get the pluralities in enough coun-
ties to carry majority of these cleo
toral votes, and so be the nominee.
The friends of all three. of the as
pirants are confidently claiming the
election of their champion on the
first primary bv this electoral
scheme, and it will be a death strug-
gle in the close counties.
Every man interested will want to
make his own figures on the cleo
toral probability and the following
roll of counties showing the cleo
toral vote in each will be of general
interest. There are 266 electoral
votes in the entire State, appor-
toned among the various counties

mated that the total vote polled will

''To My Irish People:
81 desire on leaving Ireland to ex-
press to my Irish people how deeplf
l have been touched by the kindness
and good will they have shown to the
queen and myself. Our experience on
previous visits had indeed prepared
us for traditional welcome of
warm-hearted race, but our expecta-
tions have been exceeded. Wherever
we have gone, in town or country,
tokens of loyalty and affection prof
fered by every section of the COM
munity have made an enduring i'm
preston on our hearts. For coun-
try so attractive, and a people SO
gifted, we cherish the warmest re-
gard. and it is, therefore, with SUI
preme satisfaction that j have so
often during our stay heard the hope
expressed that brighter day is
dawning upon Ireland. ] shall eager
ly await the fulfillment of this hope.
It's realization will, under divine prov
idence, depend largely upon the
steady development of self-reliance
and cooperation, upon better and
more practical education, upon the
growth of commercial and industrisJ
enterprise. and that on that increase
of mutual toleration and respect
which the responsibility my Irish peo-
pie now enjoy in the public adminis-
tration of their local affairs, is well
fitted to teach. 1t is my earnest
prayer that these and other means Of
national well being may multiply
from year to year in Ireland, and that
the blessings of peace, contentment
and prosperity may be abundantly
vouchsafed to her.
