in a Stirring Speech.

Although delayed by the rain, the ex-
ercises in honor of the Fourth were car
ried through with much enthusiasm by
the United Societies of Patriotic Women
on the lawn opposite sherman Square.
Elaborate preparations had been made
by the societies, but the wet weather
made change necessary in some Of the
plans.
Commander Ivory G. Kimbali. of the
Department Of the Potomac, C. A. r.,
who presided. introduced as the first
speaker the Rev DR.. John Van Schaick,
jr.. who took as his subject. The Dark
Side and the Bright Side of the Amer

The bright side of the Revolutionary
story is that which relates to the ,abors
of Pitt, Fox and Burke in our behalf
abroad; the courage displayed, the suf-
ferings endured. the patience shown by
our fathers and mothers at home. and

Of the victory won as related 70 the

1T is well for use TO remember these
things when petty men seize temporary

PRESIDENT GRANTS PRAYER OF
AMERICAN JEWS.
GUIDED BY THEIR OPINION
Secretary Hay Writes Letter to Pro-
motors Of Petition to
the Gar.

Washington, June 25.-The presi-
dent has decided to transmit to the
Russian government the petition pre-
sented to him by the executive COM
mittee of the B'Nai Birth regarding
the treatment of Jews in, Russia. This
action has been taken after mature
consideration.
At first it was decided that the
petition should % be presented be-
cause it might be resented by the
Russian government and lead to a re-
Spouse that would cause a break in
the relations of the two countries.
However, the first conclusion has been
reconsidered and by direction OF the
president the petition will go for.
ward.
What the result will be is prob
lematical. AS indicated in the follow
ing note from Secretary Hay to ST.
mon Wolf, the presentation will prob
ably be made to the Russian govern
ment through the United States charge
at st. Petersburg. The note reads:
Department of State, Washington,
June "a, 1903.-Dear Sir: The presi-
dent has concluded to transmit to the
Russian government the petition of
hic you presented him a draft on
the 18th Of this month. The matter
which he had to consider most serious
~ was whether or not such a pro-
ceeding was to the advantage OF your
prosecuted and outraged co-religion-
lists in Russia. On this point he has
decided to accept your opinion and
that of the numerous and intelligent
groups of American citizens of the
Jewish faith whom you represent. He
requests that you will send him the
petition in due torn at your earliest
convenience. OF course, you will un-
derstand that the president cannot
tell you what reception your petition
will meet with at the hands of the
Russian government.
1 am, sir, faithfully yours,
JOHN HAY"
The petition which will be transmit
ted to the Russian government is the
which the executive concil of the
BNal Birth handed to the president
as a tentative document to be signed
by leading citizens of the United
States outside of federal oficeholders.
upon learning that the government
OF the United States had decided to
orWa the petition to the Russian
government, Count Cassini went to
the state department and consulted
with Secretary Hay.

The Irish Color.

Green is universally regarded, says
the Westminster Gazette. as the Irish
color, but an%tiquarians say that green
as the national flag of Ireland is Of
comparatively modern origin.
The latest authority to express an
opinion on the subject is the Rev.
Canon French. a learned member Of
the Royal Irish academy. He does not
accept the explanations that the green
flag was adopted by the United Irish
men at the close of the eighteenth cen
fury by blending the orange and the
blue, the latter being regarded by
some as the Irish flag.
He asserts the emerald green stand
ard was used in Ireland in the six
teenth century. but it was not till the
eighteenth century that it became the
national color.

a portion Of the stock was to be load
ed. By some mistake in the inter-
probation of the orders the steamer
came to this port, arriving at an early
hour this morning.
The steamer was visited this morn
ing by Charles H. Frye of the COM
pany and thoroughly inspected. Be-
fore the steamer can be loaded with
livestock it will be necessary to con-
struct pens and stalls on her decks
and this work will be begun at once.
This undertaking is the largest n
in the line of raising livestock in
Alaska ever attempted. Numerous
less pretentious experiments, have
been made, and these have been al
most universally successful. The
promoters of this undertaking will
ship their stock to Kadiak island,
where the conditions for stock raising
are of the best to be found in any
part of Alaska.
: For Is years sheep nave been raised
near Kadiak, on a small scale, with
much success For several seasons
small bands of them have wintered
without any feed at all other than
the natural grass, and every summer
they wax fat on the luxuriant natural
feed. If the experiment develops into
the successful industry it now promis-
es to be, the islands of the Aleutian
chain will within a few years be
stocked with thousands or head OF
cattle and sheep and the industry will
become as profitable as the stock in
dustry was in the early days of the
middle west.

NEW SAFETY DEVICE.
Train Automatically Sets Danger Sig

Robert d. Peters of Knox. Ind. Is
the inventor of a device which he
claims will prevent railway collisions

railroad companies are negotiating for
its use. says an indianapolis dispatch
to tie Chicago Record-Herald.
The device consists Of a system of
signals operated by electricity. by
which a moving train sets a signal to
danger two miles ahead and another
two miles behind it. An engineman ap-
prosecuting a block knows whether or
moi there is a train on the same track,
its position in the block and the direc-
ton in which it is moving. II a bridge
is burned or there is IL washout on the

In addition to the signals on the
track. there is an Indicator in the train

QUIET At

Wilmington, DEL, June 25.-The
verdict of the coroner's jury in the
death of George White, the negro,
who was busned at the stake and the
release of Arthur Corwell on bail
seems to have appeased the unruly
element here.
For a time last night there appear
ed to be danger of a race riot, but
when it became generally known that
Corwell had been discharged all dis
turbance ceased and all is quiet to-
day. Corwell protests that he was
not present at the %lynching. Other
arrests are not expected.
The authorities today are endeavor-

KANSAS LEGISLATURE KILLS
FIRST RELIEF BILL. -
WON'T REBUILD BRIDGES
Members Looking Out for Themselves
will Vote Per Diem
and Mileage.

Topeka, Kan, June 25.-The house
today killed a bill by Representative
| Wagner, appropriating 100000 out
of the state treasury to repair and
| construct the bridges along the Kaw
river, damaged or destroyed by the
recent flood. Mr.. Wagner in support
of his bill said that by putting the
burden of reconstruction upon the
state, the several counties and cities
could afford to provide for the poor
families made homeless by the flood.
Better this, he said, than to have it
go out over the country that Kansas
refuses to take care of her sufferers.
He said that the states credit and
moral standing would be impaired
and the character of her people low-
cred if they continued to beg almost
from abroad.
At 2 o'clock no bill had been pass
ed for the relief of the flood suffer
ers and nom seemed in sight. Spe-
cial bridge legislation alone held back
the work of the day, such bills being
introduced in both houses. It now
seems that the members will pass
a bill allowing themselves pay and
mileage.
It was discovered late this after
noon that the constitution of the state
declares that the legislature cannot
adjourn until all bills are engrossed
on the journal and signed by the
governor. This mea at. least a
three days session.
OF the fifty bills enacted into law
by the special session of the legisla-
ture only two are general bills. One

is to remit the taxes on property
destroyed by the flood, the other is to
extend the authority of county COM
missioners in cases of dire calamity.
The other bills are local, to enable
counties and cities to take care OF
the trouble growing out of the flood,
prominent among which is the rebuild
ing of bridges washed out by the food.

SCORE THREE TRiuMPHs OVER
OLD HARVARD.
WIN ALL VARSITY RACES
For First Time on Record Wearers
Of the Blue Scoop the
Crimson.

New London, Conn.,, June 25.-For
the first time on record Yale today
triumphed over Harvard In all three
of their boat races in the annual re-
| gatta on the Thames. The wearers
of the blue won the eight-oared var
sity race by two and one-half boat
lengths, the freshmen eight-oared
race by two and a quarter lengths and
the varsity four-oared race by one
and a half lengths. In all three races
Harvard put up a memorable fight
and went down to defeat after gallant
struggles, in which her boys rowed
out the last ounce of their strength.
The official time of the races was
as follows:
Varsity Race-Yale 20 minutes
10 As seconds; Harvard, 20 minutes
20 3-5 seconds.
Freshman Race-Yale, 9 minutes
43A seconds; Harvard, 9 minutes
48 3-5 seconds.
Varsity Four-Oared Race-Yale, 10,
minutes SO rs seconds; Harvard, IL
minutes 10 LIS seconds.
Yale's three victories are attribut-
ed by experts to the superiority of
the stroke taught Yale by John Ken
nedy ove that taught Harvard by her
graduate coaches. So far as physical
form was concerned there was no
choice between the crews, except
with the possible exception that the
ale freshmen outweighed their Har-
ward rivals by over seven pounds
per man. The varsity race was a
surprise. The freshmen race had been
conceded to Yale, while the four-oared
a was also given to Yale in the
great majority of the predictions.
The greatest crowd that ever came
to this quiet old harbor town by rail
and water saw Harvard go down to
defeat.
1t seemed as if no amount of bad
weather and threatening skies could
keep people away from New London.
The day was dull and leaden,' with
the wind cold enough for o~vercoats,
and the oarsmen at their quarters !
warmed themselves before the great
log fires in preparation for the strug-
giles of the day.
By 1890 o'clock the wind was blow
ing fresh and clear and, except for the
chill of the air, the conditions were
ideal for b~oatracing. Over the last
three miles of the varsity course
200 of the finest yachts that float in
American waters were swinging at
anchor, gay with the colors of Yale
and Harvard.
Referee William Meikelham, the
old Columbia oarsman, at l1:3O nOti-
fled the crews to get ready. In three
minutes time the varsity four-oared
race was begun, and by 1880 the big
varsity race was under way. The
three events for which the blue and
the crimson had traineu for six
months had been disposed of in a tri-
file over two hours without a break
or a single incident to mar any one
of the races.
The story of the varsity race will
live long in the annals of college
boating. Harvard led Yale almost to
the mile and a half flag. Over the
mile it looked like Harvard's
race.
