scene and the principal actors in 1t
for the moment were western men,
Notwithstanding that one was the
president Of the United States. In
an instant the lapse Of years and the
distinction it had brought to him
were forgotten; he vas once more one
OF the men who stood about him, fred
by the same ambitions, buoyed by the
same hope and animated by the same
inspirations. He forgot the exalted
position he occupied and MAC" was
of his neighbors, one of his
friends. and "just as good as any
body" Even when at the conclusion
of his address he was surrounded by
a military guard and with all the hon
crs due his position escorted to the
train, he had not forgotten the
mayor" of Gardiner. Sweeping his
eye owe the crowd he observed him
at a distance and singing m from
all others waved his hand at him and
with a laughing Goodbye, Mac" dug
spurs into the sides Of the grey
charger on which he was mounted and
disappeared in a cloud Of dust.
The recollection Of the events Of
the day was a pleasant theme with
the president that night. At Living
ston while waiting for the train to
take him east he spoke Of them to
those who were given admittance to
his car and declared the assemblage
at Gardiner to have been a delight
full little meeting" at the same time
exposing those cleaning teeth, as his
face was wreathed in smiles and
hearty laughter escaped him as some
of the little incidents were recalled.
"Distinctively western" "typically
WESTERN" was his description of the
meeting, as he repeatedly expressed
his pleasure and satisfaction at it and
the events connected with it.

TOXIC. May @.-(via Victoria, 3. c.,
June 13.)-A sensation was caused today by
the announcement that Mr.. T~sukahara,
president Of the Urga Dock company, had
resigned his position in consequence Of the
failure of his company to turn out United
States ~gunboats for the Philippine govern
ment in accordance with specifications.
Two boats have been rejected by Governor
Taft and the remaining three are said to
be equally inadequate.
The Chinese riots in Kwang 81 province

JUDGE CALLS 1T BLAcKMAIL
Grants n Retrial of Libel Suit Brought
by Lady Cooks
Secretary.

LONDON, June 13.-The appeal court to-
day granted the application OF Lady Cook,
formerly Miss Tennessee clafin of New
York, for a retrial Of the charge brought
against her by ]. H. Wallace, her former
private secretary, who was granted a ver-
dict Of 81, $50 on the plea OF libel.
Lady Cooks counsel said Wallace had
alleged that she extorted a check for 1920, 900
from her late husband on the threat that
she would expose the l~iaison, and counsel
also said Wallace alleged that Sir Francis
Cooks death was due to a blow struck by
Lady Cook in their home.
Counsel asserted that these statements,
which were not brought up at the first
trial, were made by Wallace solely with.
the view Of terrorizing Lady Cook. The
master of the rolls, in giving judgment,
characterized the Wallace suit as a black
mailing action and said the verdict could
not be allowed TO stand.
