United States Claims That Under Nayi-
gable Rivers.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 18.-Sensatio
proceedings were Instituted today in
the United States court, under the di-
rection of Judge Joseph Burlington,
finally to test the right of coal mining
companies to mine coal under navi-
gable rivers. An injunction was issued
by the court against officers of the
Bessemer Coal and Coke company
with mines near Monongahela City,
restraining the company from mining
coal on what is termed government
property but which simply means
mining coal under the river, which it
is claimed is property of the govern
ment and cannot be taken without
special grant from congress.
The action is said to have been in
stituted by the legal representatives of
the government in this district, but it
is understood they have been urged
forward by interested private inter-
ests. The case will shortly come to a
hearing. In the meantime it is ex-
pected that the question will be well
thrashed out and it is likely that some
interesting developments will follow.
If the court holds that the coal under
the rivers is government property
there will probably follow some inter
esting actions by the government to
recover for coal that has been already
removed by many companies that have
for years disregarded the issue and
have presumed their ownership was
unQuestioned.

An Archbishon,s Wit.

Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia,
now in Rome on his "officiaI'' call at
the vatican, is known wherever he IS
known at all, for his ready and proper
wit. Whenever there is anything 20

bishop may be depended upon to say
it-and say it exactly as it should be
said, at that.
Not long before he sailed he was in
Baltimore, where among others he
met a priest, who appeared wearing
a high and much-battered silk hat;
it looked, indeed, of the vintage of
1912 at latest. The wearer was a
sunny sort of nature, which always
makes an appeal to the Ryan appre-
citation of the amenities of life, and
so toward the end of the interview the
older man spoke of the hat jestingly.

in his eye, and then he remarked
quietly:

on it during the uprising?''

Upon coming to Buffalo I at once

rooms are as low as s12, the highest
being SIG. My room is situated on
the ninth floor, next to the cafe on
the tenth floor. thus making it handy
between that place and my room once
I go up on the elevator. The view
from my window directly overlooks
the lake harbor entrance, the great

sistence that he doesn't like classical
music. =--z----.--
The people who listened to the
Innes band concert last night, and
who are not already aware of the
fact, are hereby informed that they
heard the best of ''Parsifal'' given in
the most thoroughly enjoyable as well
as the most muslcianaly style. Far be
it from the writer to revive the Par
sifal' controversy in weather like
this, but most of our ablest critics
agree that the operate performance
is interesting only to a musical scholar;
that it represents the decadence of
Wagner's productive genius, and that
without the advertising given it by the
extreme Wagnerites, the raving of the
disciples of the "Parsifal' cult and the
famous controversy with Frau Wagner
over the performance outside the
sacred limits of Bayreuth, it would
never have attracted the popular at
tention that it has, although of course
to musicians anything that Wagner
wrote, and especially a musfc-drama
of the scope of ''Parsifaf and sup
posed to express the profound artistic,
religious and philosophical convictions
of its composers maturity, would be
heard with the deepest interest and
reverence. But as an operate per
Torrance it would never attract gem

drama has been satisfied, it is safe
to say that in a few years the wishes
of the master will be obeyed and his
swan song" will no longer be heard
in its entirety outside of Bayreuth,
where of course the Wagnerian ira
ditions will continue to keep 1t in
popular demand for many years to
come.
All the same, as Mr.. Innes said in
his short Introductory talk to the
"ParsifaT' numbers, some of the best
music ever written was done by Rich
ard Wagner in this same ''Parsifal."
You will never hear" said the band
master last night, 'grander music
than the Professional of the knights
of the Holy Grail this side of heaven"
Mr.. InneS was advertised to give a
short analytical description OF the
ParsifaI numbers but the conditions at
Vinewood are not favorable to open
air speaking and he made this explain
alton for the omission and proceeded
with the second half of the pro-
gramme. This included the Vorspiel
of the opera, the Good Friday Music,
Kundry's temptation of Parsifal sung
by Mrs. Emma Partridge, the band 8
soprano soloist, and the march of the
knights of the Holy Grail. This COM

day. the premier urged his supporters
to be regular in their attendance at the
house of commons so as to prevent the

Mr. Chamberlain in a brief speech
said that while he formerly differed
with Mr.. Balfour on the question of an

ATWOOD TELLS WHY.
Doesn't Want Rates Fixed Without
Considering Missouri River Jobbers.

]. H. Atwood of Leavenworth today
commissioners his 'interplea" in be-
half of Missouri river hardware job
bers in the suit field by the Hockaday
Hardware company of Wichita.
Atwoods clients are the Great West
ern Stove foundry at Leavenworth, the
A. J. Harwi company, Atchison; Blish,
MiZe & Silliman, AtchiSon; J. w. Cra-
ner, Leavenworth.
Mr.. Atwood says that the business
of his constituents amounts to $4,000
900 annually, while the business of the
interior Kansas jobbers in hardware
amounts to only $75O,O This fact
is Urged says Mr.. Atwood, "as a rea-
son why, in making any schedule of
rates the interests and business we'll
being of these interpleaders shall be
considered as much as the interests
and business well-being of the COM
plainants herein
It is claimed that the Simmons
Hardware company of st. Louis has
recently established a branch house
and warehouse at Wichita for the rea-
son that it can better compete for trade
from this point.
Your interpleaders further state -
continues Mr.. Atwood, that they are
any other shippers can be, to see estab-
lished freight rates that may be lower
than now obtain, but they recognize
the fact to be that in order to have a
freight rate established that will con-
tinue, it must be a rate that is reason
able as recognized by the courts
The interplea says that the Missouri
river jobbers do not know whether the
rates asked for are reasonable or not,
but they do say that whatever change
is made along the lines sought by the
compliments that a proportionate
change should be made upon the rates
that will affect the interpleaders.'
