SIR THOMAS SEES THE FALLS.
Much In Them That Won His Favor. Al
though They Are Not NayigabIe.

NIAGARA FALLS, \, Y, Aug, 2.--Sir
Thomas Upton and his party had a de-
lightful day for their visit to Niagara Falls.
At $50 o'clock carriages were called and a
drive was taken about the State reserva-
ton Goat Island and Prospect Park
were visited, and Sir Thomas was eager
in his admiration OF the falls and upper
rapids. While the dashing waters are not
navigable, he saw in them much that won
his favor.
The big generating station Of the Niagara
Falls Power Company was visited and Sir
Thomas marvelled at what was being ac-
complished by Niagara power.
Electric cars carried the party over the
upper steel arch bridge into Canada, the
trip extending as far as Chippewa. The
run to Queenston, Ontario, was made
along the Canadien cliff. The whirlpool
rapids and the great whirlpool came in
for their share of admiration.
At Queenson the cars crossed TO Lewis
ton and there the steamer Chicorda was
boarded for a trip down the Niagara to
Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, where Sir
Thomas and his party became the guests
of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club Of
Toronto.
This evening the party returned to Nj
agara Falls, and about o o'clock the special
train left for New York

ALBANY MOB CHASES NEGRO.
Policeman Draws His Revolver and Pre-
vents Attack ON Film.

ALBANY, Aug. 2-Staid old Albany
seemed bent on rousing a crowd of nearly
thousand people into mob to lynch a
negro who had stabbed white man this
afternoon. But for the pluck Of Patrolman
Begley, who, with his revolver, kept the
crowd at bay until assistance arrived, no
one knows what the outcome might have
been.
Two colored men were fighting on Third
street on Arbor Hill. A white man named
Scharff tried to separate them. Another
negro named Bert Hazzelock told Scharff
to attend TO his own business Scharff
and Hazzelock then went at it and the
latter stabbed Scharff in the back with a
razor. The blow was glancng one and
cut only skin deep.
This reused the whites. Hazzelock
started down Third street on the run and a
crowd headed by Scharff chased him. Sew
eral blocks away Hazzelock took refuge in
a house on Second street. By this time the
crowd had grown to hundreds and de-
manded the surrender of Hazzelock.
Officer Begley drew his revolver and
kept the crowd back until he was Joined
by another officer, when they took the
negro to the station house.

Cardinals, with few Italians, are believed
to have joined to lend due weight to- this
claim that the Anglo-Saxon race be con-
sidered by the heads Of the Church.
The correspondent adds: II am informed
through an official at the Vatican that
Cardinal Gibbons's conversation before the
Conclave was formally closed up gave an
inkling Of the line he intended to take and
his gertrude that whatever results might
be produced by the present Conclave they
would in any case serve as good seed, the
fruits Of which time will ripen. Cardinal
Gibbons was particularly dissatisfied with
the sorry part the English speaking races
play in the Sacred College compared with
the Italians, and he declared that the Church
would be all the better for radical change
in this direction. The Germans heartily
concur In this view.
Il have just narrated this to a prelate
here who is well acquainted with Cardinal
Gibbons and asked him what he thought
He replied: Il am unable to say whether
your information is correct or incorrect, for
we know nothing of what is taking place
in the Conclsve, but can safely say that
the alleged facts are far from running coun-
ter to what I should expect to tally with
the estimate l made of Cardinal Gibbons's
view OF the Papal question, and his atti-
tude on any practical question arising out
OF the conflict between the currents Of
nationalism and universalism in the Gath

beast on the nose and ears every time.
Sultan is blind in his right eye and the putty

CONVICTS AGAIN GET AWAY.
Posses Fired the Brush. but the Murtierers
Had Gone.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-Once more
have the men who escaped from Folsom
Prison given their pursuers the slip, and
the death list since the break is now five.
All night two hundred officers and citizens
guarded the hill on which it was thought
the men were at bay, and this morning the
brush was fred in the hope that the con-
victs would be driven out. Then it was
learned that they had made their escape
under cover OF darkness.
Before the torch was applied the bodies
of W. c. Jones and J. +. Rutherford, who
were killed in last nights fight, were re-
covered. Both men were killed at the
first volley fred by the convicts from am
bush. A. w. Gill, another OF the posse,
was wounded, but will recover.
Last nights battle was little more than
assassination. A posse OF militiamen num-
boring twelve, started to search the hill
where the convicts were believed to be
hiding. The soldiers divided, six remain
ing near the foot of the hill to block the
escape, while the others began to beat the
brush.
The latter party, led by Lieut.. Smith,
had not advanced over 200 yards when they
ran into an ambush of convicts. The
party worked through the brush, one man
ahead of the other. Suddenly Lon Bell
yelled: Here they are boys: lie down.
simultaneously a volley was fired from
the underbrush. Gill, Rutherford and
Jones' fell at the first volley. Lieut.. Smith
and Henry Welters ran close to the scene,
firing in the direction of the convcts.
Burgess, Will Rutherford and Lon Bell
also fired in the direction from which the
volley came, although they could not see
the convicts because OF the thick and heavy
brush in which they were concealed.
The militiamen then retreated down the
hill, and when they counted their number
at Grand Victory mine they found that
two were missing. GilhaG bullet through
the right side of his chest Gill and Bell
were the only men who saw the convicts
As Gill turned to retreat he saw o man step
from behind stump to take a good aim
with his rife. Gill fred first and the man
dropped. The trail of the bandits shows
that they carried a wounded man.
Five hundred men are on the trail to-day
and another fight is likely

went out few minutes after the fire was

rush for the street.
Then, when the fire was out, the more
courageous or the thirstier returned to the
darkened building and finished what they
had been eating or drank highballs and
rickeys by the light of tallow candles.
Diners from Sherrys, across the street,
and members Of the clubs in the neighbor
hood turned out with the arrival of the

There were about one hundred and
twenty-five persons in the restaurant

shouted "Fire!" and there was a rush to

best we can. Mr. Ridder says with some
truth that he has got nothing from this

as he says, Of what use has Lindenthal
been to him.
"Mr. Low is still the only available cam
didate il he chooses to be.
THE Republican organization is not
much better OF than Mr.. Ridder, it strikes
me. All it got, you may say, from the

he was elected by the independents and
that he must, therefore, give all the Offices
