NEW TORPEDO BOAT SUITS.
The 5IakeIy at last Successful In
Passing Tests.

Newport, 4. !, July The torpedo
boat Blakely completed her speed trials
before the naval inspection board, max
Ing an hours run at sea at sustained
speed Of twenty-four knots an hour.
The conditions were very favorable,
with but little wind and sen. The boat
completed the test without hitch. No
attempt was made to break records, the
speed being kept just above the twenty
four knot standard to give margin of
safety on the average speed for the
hour
The members Of the board and the
builders representatives expressed
themselves as fully satisfied with the
boats trial here
Hitherto the Blakely has had hard
luck on her trials Now that the boat
has successfully passed her tests she
will leave for Boston and when com
pleted will be turned over to the gov
eminent.

THE FRANco-PAPAL DISPUTE.
II Is Now the Chief Subject Of Interest
In the French Capital.

IN me French Capital.
Paris, July 25. The governments
controversy with Rome continues to be
the chief subject Of public interest
The various moves are generally con
sidered to be leading up to a termina-
ton Of the concordat and the separa-
ton OF the church and the state. The
immediate issue is narrowed to the
popes right to dismiss the French
bishops Of Laval and Dillon. The gov
eminent is positively determined to re-
sist the assertion Of this claim. An
ultimatum to that effect is now on the
way, but numerous diplomatic delays
are expected owing to the leisurely
processes Of the Vatican. The govern
ment fully expects the Vatican will re-
fuse to yield, but decisive steps toward
a rupture win probably be deferred
until the next meeting of the council
of ministers Aug. ..
In the meantime the bishops are cut
off from the church for their refusal
to 90 to Rome before July 20, as the
letter of the papaI secretary Of state,
Cardinal Merry del Val, reads: Unless
you present yourself before the sacred
congregation in Rome prior to July %
you are thereby through the sole fact
Of your absentation deprived of all
episcopal powers
Another important letter Of Merry del
Val directs the bishops attention to the
apostolic bull relative to sedition IN
these words: ''You will find therein an
enunciation Of the penalty you have
incurred in appealing to the civil
branch in order to prevent the execu-
ton Of the sentences of the church
The penalty referred to is excommuni-
cation.

CALLS FOR RECIPROCITY.
Newfoundland's Premier Says We Get
Tariff Favors For Nothina.


Tariff Favors For Nothing.
London, July % Sir Robert Bond,
premier of Newfoundland, has sailed
for home after having settled up New
foundlands share in the Anglo-French
treaty.
Interviewed on the subject Of the
Hay-Bond treaty, which is awaiting
ratification by the senate, the premier
said
Il have been unable to give the Brit
ish government any hope that the
treaty to which it lent support will be
ratified by the United States. New
foundland is and has been anxious to
secure reciprocity upon a mutually adj
vantageous basis with our great friend
" neighbor. To secure that end
have made every effort consistent with
the dignity and interest Of the colony.
More than this, Newfoundland has
given American fishermen during four
teen years rights which it has power
to withhold.
"The next move in the matter must
be on the part of America. In the un-
toward event of our failing to secure
any measure Of reciprocity it may be-
come necessary although hope 1t new
er will-to put into execution those
differentiating tariffs which the other
British colonies have enacted against
foreign countries. Newfoundland has
not so FAR adopted this preferential
tariff because it was thought that
sooner or later the United States both
from the viewpoint of the self interest
and in return for a material sign of
genuine friendship would enact the
reciprocal agreement.
1T would be absurd for me to say
this is in any sense threatening tariff
war.
1T is not a question of reprisals, but
the people of Newfoundland cannot be
expected TO let this remain an open
question forever, when everybody on
the island knows that America is trad
ing under advantages not allowed by
any other British colony and while
Newfoundland products entering the
United States are taxed to almost
prohibitive degree

Mukden, July 25.-Cossack scouts re
turning hastily to this post bring news
of strong japanese movement along
the Taitse river in which a mixed de.
tachment from one of General Kuro.
ki's columns north of the military high
way from Fungwang threatens the
Russian garrison in Liaoyang They
say the enemy is in sufficient force
to make his impending attack on that
city extremely dangerous to the Rus
sian arms. According to the scouts
the column moving on Eiaoyang along
the river includes at least brigade
and half of infantry, three regiments
of cavalry and large force Of field
artillery.
The precise strength of the Liaoyang
garrison is not known even here. II is
believed. however, there still is a strong
division Of Russian infantry in Lao
yang, comprising several regiments OF
East Siberian rifles, half dozen bat
talions Of other sharpshooters and sew.
eral batteries Of garrison artillery,
with few fieldpieces. There is nc
question the garrison will make a stub
born resistance to an attack on the
city, because Liaoyang Is the connect
Ing link between this base and General
Kuropatkin's field headquarters, and
its loss would prove a serious incon.
yenience.
Chinese runners arriving here report
the Japanese division advancing on
Mukden has made rapid progress
through the valley between the rail
road and the mountains. It Is not
true the enemy holds the railroad be
tween Liaoyang and this point, be
cause trains have gone from this point
