 Plymouth, Mass.

Plymouth, Mass, May 9.--While the long wished-for rain fell heavily to- day, and was thought to have perrna- nently checked the great forest fire which had devastated seventy-five square miles of timber land in the eastern-central part of Plymouth coun- ty, some neglected sparks were famed to life late in the afternoon by varia- .ble winds and started small fires in so many places that the weary fire-fight- CTS were called out again tonight.
 The fires tonight were for the most part under the leaves and were scat tered over a wide area in the towns of Kingston, Plympton and Carver, neces- sitating a large number of patrols.

 night in honor of the American arn- bassador. The members, fully robed, took their places about bare oaken tables, and the benchers filed in, Mr.
 Choate leading the parade. though the newest member is usually last. The benchers passed down the center of the assembly to raised table. The usual simple meal was served. The benchers afterward retired to the parliament chamber for dessert, MT. Choate this time walking last. As he passed the members tables the assembly cheered continuously, many old lawyers, in their enthusiasm jumping on top of the
 wooden tables. At the door MT. Choate turned and faced the assembly and said they knew it was not the custom for a Ebencher to speak and therefore he would not. Nevertheless he spoke for ten minutes, expressing appreciation of his reception, and the honor of hav- ling his name enrolled among the names of the great men of the middle temple.

ARTHUR HAsEROT, OF oLETE-
 LAND, VICTIM OF 4 BULLET.

Medical Examiner Finds That the
 Wound Was seIf-Inficted but Doe.
 Not Determine Whether 1t was sui-
 eide or Accident-Attended Chapel
 Yesterday Morning and Appeared to
 be In Good Spirits.
 Death by self-inf1icted wound, is the verdict of Medical Examiner Bartlett in the death of Arthur Haserot, Yals senior. who shot himself in the head yesterday morning with a 32-calibre re- volver. Whether the shooting was the result of an accident or was suicide Dr. Bartlett could not determine, and he stated last evening that he would not carry his inquiry any further.
 Haserot was a senior in the academic department and was about twenty-two years old. His home was in Cleveland, and his college address was sos Welch hall
 Haserot attended chapel yesterday morning apparently in good spirits. A couple of hours later his roommates, Willis Tracy Hanson, jr., of Schenec- tady. and Roy Willet Hemingway, of Syracuse, found him dead in his room with a bullet wound from .S2-calibre revolver in his head. No cause for sui-' eide could be assigned, and so pr. Bart lett rendered verdict of death by . self-infiicted wound.
 Cleveland, May 9.--Arthur Haserot was the son of MT. and Mrs. Samuel F. Haserot, of Cleveland. The father is member of the wholesale grocery house of Haserot & Co. The deceased was twenty y-one years old and was born In Cleveland. He was in his last year in the academic course at Yale He ex- pected to be graduated next month and was making preparations for that event. His father had intended going to New Haven tonight to visit his son, when the news of his death was received by telephone from young Haserot's s room mate, R. w. Hemingway, who merely stated that Arthur had been acciden tally killed by pistol bullet. The boy's $ father has no idea that the case is one of suicide. A letter had been received at the family home this morning and in it Arthur showed that his mind was happy, and he spoke of his preparations for graduation exercises next month. An uncle of the dead student has gone to, New Haven to care for the body The boys father will not believe that his son's death is other than an acci- dent. He was last home at Christmas.

STRIKE OF CHICAGO
 TRANSFERS SPREADING
DRYERS OF ANOTHER BIG CON-
 CERN GO OUT.
Make Gains and Resume Business on m Almost Normal Scale-NumerOus Clashes in Streets Between Union and D.. --... -.--s. Non-Union Men and the PolIee-The Injunction Cases.

Chicago, May 9.-The large depart
 ment stores and the express companies
 normal state. Sixteen hundred teams
 were at work to-day and the number
 will be increased tomorrow. Notwith-
 standing this apparent gain, however,
 there are strong indications tonight
 that the strike will spread within the
 next few days, not only among the
 teamsters. but will involve other un- ions as well. The drivers of the Wen-' ig Teaming company. large concern
 chiefly engaged in delivering flour, went out to-day when one of their number was discharged for refusing to deliver four to a boycotted house. The Wenig
 company is a strong factor in the Team
 Owners association, which has here
 tofore sideed rather with the teamsters' union than with employers association.
 Its stand with the latter organization was something of surprise.
 In some quarters it was feared that the strike of the Wenig company driv- CTS would produce a shortage in the supply of flour. but the officers of the company say tonight that they have a supply sufficient to last the city for a week and that at the expiration of that
 time they will be able to make deliver- ies as before. For some time this af- ternoon it was reported that a strike of the teamsters employed by the
 Crane company, manufacturers of ele-
 vators and plumbing supplies, was i'm
 minent An adjustment of some kind was reached, but statements differ as to it's character.
 There were numerous clashes in the tstreets to-day between non- union men and the police and union teamsters. There were also a number of attacks made on non-union men by workmen in buildings, who pelted them with all sorts of missiles from safe distance
 These fights, however, bore no resem- biance of the open violence of last week. The most serious fight of the day was at Lake and Clark streets, where union teannsters formed blockade and
 brought about congestion of traffic and a series of fights that blocked the
 streets for nearly an hour. Nobody was seriously hurt, but numerous arrests were made by the police.
 Coal teamsters in the business sec- tions of the city were the especial ob-= jeets of attack by workmen in build- iings. Missiles of all sorts were show erred upon them, and in several in stances it was necessary for the wagon guards and the police to send yolley Eof bullets flying toward the windows. [ Nobody, however, was shot during the { day. s~ a& ss The taking of evidence relative to the
 granting of the injunctions issued tenn
 porarily by the United States circuit court in favor of the Employers associ- ation and the seven express companies
 began to-day before Master of Cham bery Sherman. $

STAY FOR MRS. VALENTLNA.

May 12.
 Trenton, N. J., May 9.-Judge LanninR in the United States district court to- day refused to grant a writ of habeas corpus applied for by counsel for Anna Valentino, who was to have been hang ed at Hackensack on May 12 for the murder of Rosa Silva
 Counsel for the condemned woman claimed she had not had fair trial, but County Prosecutor Rooster denied this allegation, saying the trial had been impartial.
 KS Judge Lanning then said it was not the custom of the federal courts to in-3 terfere with the state courts by issuing Writs of habeas corpus. An appeal to- the United States supreme court wasl | thereupon taken on the refusal to grant the writ. M
 The appeal will probably postpone the execution of Mrs. Valentino for some time. sl
 Rev James A. McFaul, bishop of the diocese of Trenton, to-day forwarded to Governor Stokes a letter in behalf of Anna Valentino. The bishop says he has been requested by Mgr. Falconia, apostolic delegate to the United States, to use his good offices to prevent the execution of the woman.
 New York, May 9.-The Italian con- sul-generaI here said to-day that he had been informed by his government, both from Rome and through Washing ton, that $10O,O GOO would be spent to de- l fend Mrs. Valentino and secure for her E a new trial. hx ag sA aailE lIN

 to See That Neutrality is Observed
 Nebogoton Sighted or Saigon.
 Nha-Trang, Annam. May 9.-Admiral Rojestyensky's squadron, which has been cruising for several days off Van fong bay, sailed this morning.
 Paris, May IDA dispatch from Sai- gon to the Petit Journal says: ''Nebo- gatoff's squadron appeared at daybreak of May g twenty miles off Cape St. James, preparing to ascend the river to Saigon, where the commander expected to find the necessary orders for effect ing junction with Rojestvensky and revictualling his fleet. He was hailed at sea by scout belonging to the Rus sian second Pacific squadron, which communicated to him Frances desire that the junction of the Russian squad- rons should occur outside of Indo-Chi- heSS WdlcIS. NeUOSetoI luei uloefp- peared on the open sea, sailing towards the second squadron, which doubtless is waiting off the Annam coast"
 Paris, May g. The announcement was made to-day that the French gov ernment will publish a yellow book con corning French observance of neutral ity during the events in the far east It is said it will show the minute precau- tions which the government has taken to prevent a violation of Frances neu- trality.
 Orders have been sent to the civil and naval authorities in French Indo-Chi- na not to permit the junction within French waters of the Russian naval forces under Admirad Rojestvensky and Rear Admiral Nebogatoff. Instructions have also been sent to Admiral de Jon- queres, the French naval commander, to see that Rojestvensky fully observes the promise he has already given to leave French waters.
 These orders resulted from the receipt of detailed dispatch giving an ac- count of Admiral de Jonquiere's meet ing with Rojestvensky. The dispatch says the Russian squadron made a four days cruise on the high sea outside of the three mile limit, and then return ed last Saturday, anchoring at Kong Hai bay (south of Hon-Kohe bay), coast of Amman, for the purpose of talk ing on provisions and fresh water.
 When Admiral de Jonquieres was in formed of the Russians return he pro- ceeded to Kong Hai, and requested Ad- miraI Rojestvensky immediately to withdraw outside territorial waters. The Russian admiral gave De Jon quieres his word that he intended to leave his anchorage and take to the open sea.
 He also informed De Jonquieres that in his communications with the land he had not violated any of the neutrality regulations, and that the stops of the Russian squadron along the Indo-China Eoast were for the purpose of resting the crews. The Russian admiral said he would depart the following day
 The French admiral then returned from Kong-Hai to advise the French government of the result of the inter- view. He returned to Kong -Hai yes- terday for the purpose of seeing wheth- CT Rojestvensky's promise to go to sea had been carried out, and found the Russian warships still at their anchor age, but preparing to depart. Admiral Rojestvensky assured him that the en- tire squadron would leave during the night. @
