TOURISTS COMING HOME.
Greatest Rush Across uIe Atlantic
Ever Experienced.

New York, sept. agents of the
steamship companies assert that never
before in the history of trans-A tlantic
travel have such throngs been clamor-
ing for passage to this country as are
now besicging the foreign offices of
the various companies. This is well
borne out by the number of voyagers
who have arrived from Europe within
the last few days each ship coming in
crowded To its capacity.
Early in the season IL was evident
that the rush to Europe this year
would attain record-breaking proper
tions. Agents found explanations for
the Increased outward travel in the
fact that it was an off-yvdr in cleo
tions and that it was, moreover. un-
usually prosperous.
Now that home coming is in order,
the various lines are confronted with
difficulties. About 60 per cent Of
those who were abroad took the pre-
caution OF arranging for return pass
age. These have no worries, as the
companies are bound to find accom-
modations for them. but the careless
40 per cent must take such quarters
as they can get
"If 1t were not for this almost un-
precedcnted homcward crush" said
one of the agents I'VE could be doing
an excellent eastward business, as
day by day we receive numerous APP
plications for passage from salaried
men whose vacation time has come
and who want to take three or four
weeks trip. But it is absolutely es-
sential for this class to return in a
given period and in the circumstances
we cannot guarantee to bring them
back within a stipulated time; so they
forego the voyage and take their va
cation elsewhere"

CH|NA'S BOYCOTT
AGAINST AMERICA
REPRIsALs ON ACCOUNT OF THE
EXCLUSION LAWS.
Secretary Hay tias Favored Conces.
sions, But Western Men Make
Strenuous Objections.

Washington, d. c., May 16.-Infor-
nation has been received here that
breach between China and the United
States, proposed to result in trade re-
prisals on the part of China. is certain,
because of dissatisfaction in Pekin
over the strict enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion laws, and the fail
ure OF this government to agree to a
lew treaty more lenient in character.
State department officials are cog
infant of the fact that Sir Chentung
Liang Chang, the Chinese minister
here, has sent out circulars to Chinese
in all parts of the United States invit-
ing them to furnish such evidence as
they may have of cases where the ex-
clusion laws were harshly enforced
against Chinese entering this country.
1t is the disposition of the immigration
officials to get the Chinese minister in
trouble for his course.
It can be stated authoritatively that
so far as the state department is con-
cerned, Sir Chentung is acting clearly
within his rights.
The deveopments in fact it is said,
merely serve to widen the breach that
already existed between the executive
and the treaty-maling power-the SEN
ate-in the matter of making a new
treaty with China.
Secretary Hay has always manifest
ed desire to grant certain concessions
TO China in making the new treaty.
His purpose was defeated by the posi-
tion taken by western senators and
representatives, who are bitterly op-
posd to making 1t easier for Chinese,
country.
THREATS NOT REGARDED SERI-
OUSLY.
I Washington, May 16.-The threats Of
the merchants of China to boycott
American goods as protest against
the policy of this country in exclud-
ing Chinese are not regarded seriously
by officials of the state department.
They say If the Chinese do not buy
four and cotton direct from us they
will have to purchase them through
London at higher cost to them
selves, and at no loss of trade to us.
Recent cable dispatches reported that
mass meetings OF merchants had been
held in Shang Hal, at which the boy
cotting policy had been decided upon.

HIGH PROTECTIVE
TARIFF REPUBLICANS
Up In Arms Against Buying Canal
Supplies In Markets Of the
World.

Washington, d. c., May 16.-The
high protective tariff Republicans now
in the city are denouncing the action
of the isthmian canal commission in
adopting policy of buying supplies
for the canal in the markets of the
world
All but Representative GrosyenoD
of Ohio, decline to be quoted.
The Ohioan, a member of the house
ways and means committee at the
time of the framing of the Mckinley
and Dingley tariff laws, today, in dis.
cussing the new policy said: 1--WE
have built up the policy of the pro-
tective tariff in this country on the
basis of higher prices. Those prices
were higher becauseswe paid our labor
better wages. People have become
more cognizant every year of the
benefits of that policy, and understand
the reason for higher prices. The
country would rather pay little more
for something that was made at home,
furnished employment for home folk
and gave them better pay than their
more unfortunate neighbors abroad
enjoyed"

THE BOWEN-LOOMIS
ASPHALT TROUBLE
CASTRo'S ENVOY HAS INTER
VIEW WITH PRESIDENT.
Bowen, II Is Said, Has Materially
Strengthened His Side of
the Case.

Washington, D. c., May 16.-Jose
de Jesus Paul, the special envoy of
President Castro who came here sew
eral months ago, in an effort to secure
the withdrawal of Minister Bowen,
from Caracas, without the formality of
IA demand, saw President Roosevelt
today. He said Paul is the man who
is alleged to have bartered about the
streets of Washington the Loomis
charges and finally got them printed,
received corroboration.
The recent minister to Venezuela,
however, did present an advocate to
the president. 1t was Senior Pastor Y.
Mora, at one time connected with the
New York and Bermudez Asphalt
Co., characterized in the Bowen-Loom-
is imbroglio as the asphalt trust. He
is friend of Mr.. Bowen and it is
understood that he discussed with the
president the check for $4,000 which
Mr.. Loomis said he gave the trust, in
exchange for one of theirs, when he
was called home.
1t is further learned that Mr. Bowen
has strengthened his case by calling
the attention of the secretary of war
tU the existence in the state depart
n ent of papers, taken by him from the
| legation files at Caracas, and bearing
upon these particular charges. He de-
clares that his more recent presenta-
tion of charges against Assistant
Secretary of State, F. B. Loomis, was
merely a continuation of the former,
of which the department should have
been fully advised. Assistant Secre-
tary Loomis says he did not know of
the existence of the papers prior to his
California trip several months ago. He
admits that they may have been in the
department files long before that.

MOVE FOR MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP IN
CHICAGO
TO OPERATE LINE ON
A LICENSE.
Mayor Dunno Is Likely to Soon See
Inauguration Of His Pet
Scheme.

Chicago, May 16.-Should PROPOSE.
tion made to the city today by syn
dicate of business men be accepted,
Mayor Dunno will have the satisfac.
tion of seeing inaugurated the first
step Of his pet scheme for municipal
ownership early in his term as chief
executive of Chicago.
A syndicate with sufficient capital
to equiD and run the so-called Adams
street line of the old Chicago passen-
ger railway, recently put into posses
sion of the city by Judge Grosscup's
decision has been formed, with John
j. Cummings, president of the Nc
re-Cummings company, at its head.
A half million dollars has been sub
scribed and certified checks totalling
that amount have been placed in es-
crow subject to return should the city
not accept the syndicate's proposition,
to be made in the form of bid, in
accordance with the order passed by
the city council last night
The proposition made by the syn
dicate, which is composed largely of
eastern men and wholly of manufac.
turers of railway and power house
equipment, is to take over and operate
the line on license, as provided by
the Mueller law, for a certain com.
pensation to the city, until such time
as the validity of the Mueller bill cer-
tificates is assured by decision of the
courts. Then the properties will be
turned over to the city in return for
these certificates. Mr.. Cummings said
he believed the first cost of equipment
would be in the neighborhood of $780,.
900 and that the cost of running tho
first month would be paid by the fares
taken in, even without interchange Of
transfers with the Union Traction sys-
TEN. The total cost, he estimated.
would be in the neighborhood of $780,.
900.
The first link in the chain of NUM-.
cipal traction ownership is about IL
miles in length and is entirely on the
west side of the city with the excep-
tion of a distance of six blocks, ex-
tending on the south side from the
river to State street on Adams street.

HARRISBURG WRECK

Harrisburg, Pa, May 16.-The cor
oners inquest into the cause of the
wreck of the Cleveland and Cincinnati
express in South Harrisburg last
Thursday, was begun today.
All the testimony was to the effect
that the disaster to the passenger
train could not be prevented when the
accident to the freight train occurred.
The express was then too close to the
"buckled" sfreight cars, one of which
contained ton of powder.
Late this afternoon expert testimony
on air brakes and explosives was
heard and the inquiry was concluded.
Members OF the crews of both trains
having been heard, a verdict will
probably be rendered tomorrow.

New Orleans Lumber Shipper Alleges
That Rebates Are Given to Fa.
vored Customers.

Washington, ID. c., May 16.-J. S.
senting the Van Buren, Horticultural
association explained to the senate
committee ON interstate commerce,
this afternoon, some of the alleged
impositions upon railways, of private
car lines.
c. w. Robinson, of New Orleans,
representing the Yellow Pine asso-
citation, charged that rebates were
being granted favored lumber ship
pers by the Big Four, Vandalia, and
Illinois Central. He charged that they
were in the form of re-billing of con-
signments.
Couldn't you have got them?" ask
ed Chairman Elkins.
81 think that's hardly fair ques-
tlon. / shouldn't be asked to incrim-
mate myself" smiling replied the wit
ness.
"Oh. you needn't fear that" retort-
ed the chairman. "The law promises
immunity to you"
The witness declared that he could
have secured the same advantage but
that he was afraid of the anti-rebate
law.
"My attorney told me to keep clear
of it," he said.
The case he cited was in lumber
shipped by roundabout way from
the south to the east, with a rate of
a cent less per hundred than he got
through a more direct route.
