SANDS STILL AT SEA
HAS NOT YET ATTACKED THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST.
Conditions Were Again Favorable for
the Enemy Yester6ay-Barker's
Defensive Fleet Scouting.

PORTLAND. Me-, Aug. 6.-With thick
stormy weather along the entire coast, it
would seem as IL the attacking fleet under
Rear Admiral Sands had the best possible
conditions to-day in which to win the war
game by evading the defending squadron
under Rear Admire Barker and establish
ing itself in some one OF the numerous
little harbors of the eastern Maine coast.
But at a late hour tonight nothing had
been heard from the enemy" while the
reports from the defending squadron dur
the day were somewhat meager. Several of
the swift torpedo-boat destroyers ran into
Penobscot during the day and a naval tug
came into Bar Harbor for the mail. The
main portion of Admiral Bankers fleet,
however. kept well off shore. and it is be-
lived continued the work of patrolling the
coast between Eastport and Cape Ann.
Admiral Sands has still Jbout three days
in which to make his dash for the coast
and il is believed that he will wait until
the last moment in order to give the de-
Tending squadron plenty of practice in pa
trolling, and take advantage of any relaxa-
ton in the vigilance of their work
A foreign liner brought, to-day, the last
word of the attacking squadron, the en-
tire fleet being sighted several hundred
miles off shore on the evening of Aug a
At that time the fleet was standing in an
easterly direction.

COLOR Line In THE NAVY
CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS REFUSE TO
MESS WITH NEGRO.
Arise and Leave the Table When He
Sits Dotvn-Chief Carpenters
Mate of the Columbia.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The color line has
been drawn on board the United States re-
ceiving ship Columbia at the Brooklyn
navy yard. The chief petty officers have
refused to mess with negro who has just
been sworn in as chief carpenters mate
They have asserted their unwillingness to
associate with him in any way or to re-
ceive or carry out any orders that may
come to them through him in the line of
duty.
Isaac Miller, the chief carpenters mate
is not full-blooded negro. He has been
in the navy many years, and has good
record. For a long time prior to his recent
promotion, which was for merit, he ranked
as carpenters mate of the first class. When
Miller appeared at the chief petty's officers
mess on Wednesday eight other members
of the mess arose and left the table when
he sat down. Miller ate his dinner as if
nothing out of the ordinary had happened
Since then he has had no company at his
meals. He has been allowed when he
reached the table first to eat alone, and
when others have preceded him he has
waited until they finished eating
Captain Snow said to-day that Miller's
rights would be protected, as the navy
makes no distinction as to color.

HITCH in PEACE PLANS
STRIKE IN PITTSBURG is STILL FAR
FROM A SETTLEMENT.
Builders Exchange League Refuses
to Grant an Unexpected Demand
of the Trades Council.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 6.-Unexpected devel-
opments in the peace move of the Builders
Exchange League caused break in the
plans for the general resumption Of opera
tions next week. After proposals for the
ending of the lockout had been sent to the
Building Trades Council yesterday, stipu-
lating that the league should employ only
union hosting engineers pending a settle
ment of the scale, it was discovered that
with one exception, not contractor in the
city was employing union engineers as such.
nor had they recognized the Hosting En-
paid to the other contractors by the work.
men, but they singled out A. and S. Will
son as the firm to attack and compel the
signing of the union scale before anyone
else.
The discrimination against Wilson e.
Co. was not relished by the league
members, and when reply to the PROPOSE
ton made by the league for a settlement
was received at the Builders Exchange,
the unions demanded that the proposed set
Element be made at once and not within ten
withdraw the whole plan and stand on the
original ground, which demanded that the
workmen of all trades return to work on
the Wilson contracts on exactly the same
conditions as existed before the strike be-
gan, and that the questions of employing
union workmen and the wage scales would
be taken UP and arbitrated at once. This
withdrawal Of the peace proposition places
the lockout in the same position it was a
week ago.

FAILURE OF LAIDLAW & CARRIE,
COMMISSION BROKERS.
Former Is the Man Who Threw Him
self In Front of the Bomb That
NOrcrOss Hurled at Sage.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Following a weak,
almost panicky opening, to-day's stock mar
ket suddenly reversed it's course, substan-
tial gains being registered by practically
all the better class securities. The average
of net advances was about per cent. In
some instances gains were much greater.
New York Central led the active list with
net gain of 3$
The change in front, which occurred in
the early afternoon, was doubtless due to
several reasons, the most potent of which
was the good buying, which seemed to
emanate from high quarters. There is lit
tie room for doubt that stocks were pur-
chased freely to-day by insiders. by banks,
banking houses, financial institutions gen.
orally and wealthy individuals because they
seemed cheap. No justification could be
found for the report rather industriously
circulated that the Vanderbilts, Rdckefelers
and Harrimans, with their host of follow
ers, had entered upon plan to lift prices.
AS a matter of fact. no little part of to-
days Improvement undoubtedly due
to extensive covering, many on the short
side regarding the market as being very

talk of trouble and probable failures was

NOW DENIES HER GUILT
MRS. AURORA HODGE CLAIMS SHE
DID NOT KILL WILLIAM X. RYAN.
Says She Could Not Have Shot Him In
the Top of the Head-AccOmplice
May BE in Mexico.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 6.-Mrs. Aurora
Hodge. who recently confessed in Grand
Rapids, Mich, that she implicated in
the murder of William X. Ryan, an aged
spectacle peddler. Murray, Utah. and
who has been brought here for trial. now
declares she did not fire the shot that killed
Ryan. Ryan's remains were exhumed yes
terday and large bullet hole was found
i'm the top of the head. When told of this,
Mrs. Hodge appeared much surprised.
eff he died from that wound / did not
kill him. she said to her attorney. II ad-
nit that | shot at him. / tied his hands
over by the big tree, but he got loose and
started after me- / had to protect myself,
and fired at him / fired at his side 1t
would have been impossible for me to shoot
him In the crown of the head when he was
up and running. He was not tied when
L shot at him, and If he was found tied,
some one else did it,
Mrs. Hodge persistently refused to give
any information to the identity of her
accomplice. A picture in Mrs. Hodges eff
fects has been identified as that of a man
who was seen in company with Ryan and
Mrs. Hodge few days before the murder.
Mrs. Hodge at first said the picture was
that of her husband. This she now denies.
The police believe this man was the accom-
plice, and have reason TO think that he
is in Mexico.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Hungry, with his
last cent gone, Charles j. Davis, under
sentence for forgery in the Illinois State
Reformatory, who had violated the parole
under which he was released from that in
stitution, gave himself up to-day and asked
to be taken back to prison, as he had no
hope of making an honest living
Inability to get work at his trade as a
stonecutter, because a member of a union

spondency. Davis says that he was SEN
fenced to an indeterminate term of from
to fourteen years in the Illinois State
Reformatory at Pontiac, ILL.,, in December
1897, for forging pay checks on the Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad. Because of good
behavior he was paroled after serving
fourteen months. He failed to report one
month and was re-arrested and returned to
the Reformatory, where he served nine
months more. and was again released. He
kept his parole for while. but finally drift
ed to this city.
Davis will be held until the Illinois au-
thorities are heard from. If returned to
prison now he must, under the Illinois law,
serve out his full term.

COAL CARS ARE SCARCE
NOT ENOUGH TO MEET THE DE-
MAND AT PITTSBURG.
Twelve Thousand Miners Laid OF by
One Company Because 1t Cannot
Ship It's Product.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 6.-The Gazette
tomorrow will say: Discrimination against
Pittsburg is a reason given by number Of
coal companies and industrial concerns for
the alarming shortage of cars. This is held
responsible for the enforced idleness of over
twelve thousand men employed by one COM
pany alone. The Baltimore & Ohio seems
to be the principal offender. while the Penn
sylvania lines west. through the South
west system. or the Panhandle, is using
most of it's surplus coal cars in the West
Virginia district and along the Norfolk &
Western. The conditions in the Pittsburg
district are worse than at any time last
winter, and ii is prophesied by September
the shortage of cars of all kinds and the
congestion of freight will be so aggravated
that months of hard work will not relieve
the situation.
AN official of the Pittsburg Coal Com
pany, the largest soft coal shipper in this
district. said that two-thirds of their miners
on the Baltimore q Ohio and the Panhandle
are idle, throwing over twelve thousand
men out of work."
