ing an address of welcome to King Ed

long before the meeting began. and the
huge crowd which was shut out subse-
quently broke down the doors in its
efforts to get in. Lord Mayor Harring-
ton made a violent speech against the
address, and compared the National

sold the Irish Parliament"
Maud Come (Mrs. McBride) was
among the demonstrators, who con-
tinued the uproar until the Lord Mayor
finally called in the police, who cleared
the hall

Deputy Sheriff Saved Negro From Mob
at New Baltimore, N. Y.
Albany, N. Y. July 15.-The quick
wit of a deputy sheriff at Coxsackie
prevented the lynching of James Lit

SummerhUrst N. j., who near New
| Baltimore criminaly assaulted Emma
Cole, aged II years, daughter of Jo-
seph Cole, a farmer living one mile
back of New Baltimore. The negro
escaped after threatening the child
with death. Two other children had
given the alarm. and Mr.. Cole and
neighbors met the child coming horne.
and at once organized a party to scour
the woods.
A description of the negro was sent
to nearby towns, and an hour later he
was captured on the railroad track
near CoXsackie by Roy Cutler. He
confessed the assault and was locked
up.
In the meanwhile news of the cap.
ture reached New Baltimore, and
mob Of $50 enraged farmers started
for Coxsaclie, augmented by a large
number of striking Coxsackie moulders
and river men, all frankly avowing
their intention to lynch the negro.

would mean the breaking of the himsy

30 Oknsr negotiations.
Oyster Bay, L. l., July 15.-An inn
portant conference was held at Saga
more Hill between the president and
representatives Jewish citizens Of the
Society of the B'nai Birth regarding
the petition to the Russian govern
ment on the Kisheneff outrages. Be
sides the president, the parties to the
conference were Simon S. Wolf. of
Washington; Oscar S. Straus and Leo
n. Levi, Of New York.
The administration has been embar-
Tassed by the delay of the representa-
tiyes of the B'nai Birth Society in
presenting the petition A draft of the
document was handed TO President
Roosevelt several weeks ago by Mr..
Wolf. but It was decided after some
consideration to modify the text of the
petition before presenting it formally
TO this government for transmittal to
Russia. Time was desired to obtain
to the petition the signatures of rep
Fesentative citizens of the United
States of all the religious faiths. AS
a result the document was not placed
in the hands Of the president until yes
terday.
The result of the conference at Sag
amore Hill has not been disclosed yet,
but strong intimation is given that
the petition may not be forwarded to
the Russian government The desire
Of both the president and Secretary
Hay is that the Kisheneff incident
should be closed as soon as possible
as further delay in its consideration
might prove embarrassing to this gov
ernment in other diplomatic negotia- |
tions with Russia
lnasmuch as the Russian govern |
ment has indicated by the adoption |
of severe measures a genuine disposi- |
tlon to punish adequately the perpe- /
traitors Of the Kisheneff murders, and |
in addition those who instigated them, |
tt is a problem for the president and /
Secretary Hay to solve whether rep
resentations concerning the incident
now are either desirable or necessary.
It is suggested that the whole mat
ter may be resolved into a brief state
ment through diplomatic channels to
the Russian foreign Office that such a
petition is in the hands of the United
States, thus leaving it to Russia to
say whether it would or would not re-
ceiye the document If it were present
ed. It would close the incident with
out subjecting the United States re-
lations with Russia to strain. and it
Is regarded would be quite as effective
as the actual presentation of the pc
tition.

ROUGH ON THE DOGS.

Chicago Financfer's Scheme to XIII
the Sharks In Havana Harbor.
NEW YORK, April IA Chicago finan-
cier who spent eight weeks In Cuba in
vestigating the islands opportunities is,
according to a Herald dispatch from Ha-
vana, the promoter of a scheme for the
killing Of sharks In Havana waters that
would result in immense financial returns
to its hackers. An ordinance recently
passed by the Municipal Council provides
for the payment of a bounty of 50 for each
female shark killed and Of 81 for every
male of the species slaughtered. The Chi
cago man was here when the ordinance
was passed, and he at once interested
friends In Chicago and here in his plans,
and a syndicate was formed. A large guam
tity Of high explosive was ordered shipped
to Havana at once. At the same time fifty
men were put to work capturing and cor
railing all the stray dogs to be found in the
city and country adjacent, which were to
be used as bait to draw the sharks into the
harbor. The syndicate proposed first to
feed few dogs to the sharks, and, after
a few days of this sort of batting, the ami
mails are to be sent adrift with an explosive
cartridge tied to each Of them. Supply Of
dogs I'm Cuba and the supply Of sharks in
the ocean being practically inexhaustible.
the pecuniary outlook for the syndicate Is
considered promising.
