TITLED BRITON SOUNDED
NOTE OF DlSCORD.
SarcasticaIIy Derided the Use of the
Word s1American."

London, Nov "a. - The annual
Thanksgiving banquet of the American
Society at the Hotel Cecil tonight was
marked by the presentation to Ambas-
sador Choate of a portrait of himself,
painted by Hubert Herkomer and paid
for by subscriptions by members of
the society.
An unusual note for such gather
ing was introduced by Sir Edward
Clarke, who, proposing Mr.. Choate's
health, sarcastfcally derided the title
American ambassador, declaring that
the word American" implied domina-
ton over the whole of the Western
hemisphere, which the United States
does not possess and is not entitled
to, as Great Britain is territorially a
larger power on the American conti-
nent than the United States. Sir Ed
ward suggested that a more suitable
title would be "Usona," signifying
United States of North America.
Ambassador Choate, replying, said
that the Americans were quite salts
fed with their name and then referred
to the recent election in the United
States as a splendid tribute to devotion
and affection to great man. Having
remarked upon the regeneration of
public life in America, regardless of
party, now in progress, Mr.. Choate al
luded to the ever-growing friendship
between Great Britain and America
as a reason for Thanksgiving, and
added:
Il asked Lord Lansdowne If he was
ready to negotiate a treaty of arbi-
tration. Why said Lord Lansdowne.
it goes without saying"
Continuing, Mr.. Choate maintained
that many things go without saying
between Great Britain and America,
above all that they should avoid all
possible causes Of offense and settle
all differences by peaceful means.
He paid high tribute to the Arch
bishop of Canterbury's 're-discovery OF
America" and dilated upon the value
of visits to America by such men as
the Archbishop and John Morley.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, pro-
posing President Roosevelt's health, ex-
pressed his sincere thanks for the great
hospitality with which he was received
in America. He said America faced
problems greater than the world had
ever seen. but by a stroke of genius,
had found the man to conquer the diff
culties. 1--WE on this side" said the
Archbishop, mot less than brothers TO

SHOT ON BROADWAY.
Roche Says He VIII square the Ac-
count if He Lives.

New York. Nov. 24.-Guy Roche, a
sporting man. who killed "Sheeny
George" Levy nine years ago, was shot
and probably fatally wounded late this
afternoon in Broadway between Thir-
ty-fifth and Thirtx-sixth streets while
the avenue was thronged with holiday
promenaders.
Stewart FELTON,, known as big
Frank" also a sporting man, was ar
rested, charged with having fired the
shot. He denies the charge.
Although he was told that he would
die, Roche refused to say that FELTON,
shot him. and declared that if he lived
he would settle the account himself.
The shooting occurred in the midst
of crowd that filled the sidewalk,
and Immediately there was wild ex-
citement. FELTON, turned and dashed
through the crowd. followed by hum
dreds of men and women who shouted
for the police. Running to Seventh
avenue. FELTON, entered a saloon and
was there arrested. He was taken back
to where Roche lay and an effort was
made to have the wounded man iden-
tify him.
Leave it to me; if die, all right: if
1 live will make good" was all Roche
would say.
Roche was hurried to a hospital,
where it was said his condition is crit
ical.
By this time the crowd had grown to
such proportions that reserves had to
be called before FELTON, could be taken
to a police station. There two wit
nesses said they saw FELTON, fire two
| shots the instant before Roche fell.
II don't care what they say, don't
know anything about this affair." Eel
ton exclaimed. "I heard the shot in
the crowd and naturally 1 wanted to
get out of the way. That's why I ran.
1 have had enough trouble to last me
to the end of my life"
FELTON, is said to have come from
| Chicago several years ago.

ANOTHER EXPLOSION
WAS KEPT SECRET.

Cincinnati, Nov. 24-It developed to-
day that another dynamite explosion
at the Eureka Foundry occurred at
the same time that young Rauhauser
was making his statement to the de-
tectives. The foundry management for
some reason suppressed the fact.
The prosecution anticipates some
difficulty in sustaining the charges
made against President Valentine and
others in connection with the dynamite
plot. because the Rauhausers. being
defendants in a criminal case. cannot
be compelled to be witnesses and also
because young Rauhauser has made
statements that his confession was OBJ
tanned through coercion.

SITUATION is DELICATE.
Russian Newspapers Give the Min
lister Greater Trouble.


st. Petersburg. Nov. 24-Interior
Minister Sviatopolk- Mirsky went to
Tsarskoe Selo to-day to present the
Zemstvos memorial to Emperor Mich
olas.
The situation is extremely delicate.
Two incidents have occurred, both of
which much initiate against the Lib
erals and increase the difficulties of
Prince Sviatopolk-M -Mirsky's position.
Prince Mestchersky, editor of the
Graspdanin, who is head of the reac-
ttonary press, this morning unmasked
his batteries, attacking the Interior
Minister in such fashion for his lib
eral tendencies that Prince Sviato-
polk Mirsl1y, for the first time since
he assumed the ministry, ordered the
confiscation of the issue. In the
strength of the influence behind such
an attack lies the real significance of
Prince Mestchersky's act. At the same
time from the opposite direction the
Nasha Ziesn COR Life, a new radical
paper authorized by Minister Sviato-
pol -Mirsky,s ssiAduIged in direct attack
on the Emperor with the result that
the minister ordered the suspension of
the publication.
The action of this paper is considered
to be very unfortunate, as it places a
powerful weapon in the hands of
Prince Sviatopolk- Mirsky's enemies.
Many of the minister's friends are in
clined now to believe that the Zemst-
voists went too far and have leopard
lied the position of their best friend.

Railway, thirty-eight miles north of
Mobile, was assassinated by Francisco
Cirrincioni a member of the colony,
at 9 o'clock this morning, close to the
railroad track and in the sight of
Pompinella's wife and child.
The colony is in a ferment, there
being partisans on both sides of the
trouble which brought on the killing,
and the authorities of Washington
county look for further bloodshed.
The story of the killing was brought
to the city by Joseph Pompinella, son
of the dead man. He said that the
colonists had been shipping wood to
Mobile under the direction of his faith
er, who had not been paid for a quan-
tity of wood shipped. This morning
Cirrincioni demanded his share of the
wood sale. and being told that it had
not been paid for. went off, secured a
double -barreled shotgun and emptied
one barrel into Salvatore Pompinella's
side, killing him instantly, and fired
the other barrel at Joseph Pompinella,
who was only slightly hurt. He then
made his escape.
1t is said Pompinella and his family
have been living in constant fear of
assassination for the past six months,
and it is feared that violence will be
offered his wife and children.
