SINISTER RUMORS IN CIRCULA-
TIoN REGARDING UHLAN
REGIMENT.

New York, June 81 Stanford
White, the eminent architect OF the
firm of McKim, Mead & White, was
shot last night and almost instantly
killed by Harry Thaw, members OF
a prominent Pittsburg family, during
the performance of a musical extrava-
ganza, "Mamzelle Champagne" on the
roof of the Madison Square Garden.
Mr.. White died before an ambulance
could be summoned and Thaw was ar
rested.
The Madison Square roof garden.
which has been closed for several
years, was, crowded last night with .
fashionable audience.
Tragedy in Midst Of Comedy.
While Harry Short, who fills the
principal comedy role in the piece,
was singing comic song and the gar
den was echoing with the laughter
and applause of the audience, a series
of shots ratified in the rear of the au-
ditorium, and a man in evening dress
was seen to fall across q table at
which he was sitting with party OF
friends. The man who had fired the
shots fed, pistol in hand, toward the
nearest exit, where he was seized and
disarmed by police.
Instantly the great audience was
thrown into panic and wild stam-
pede occurred during which chairs
and tables were overturned and men
and women fought with desperation to
escape from the roof.
The man who was shot was quickly
identified as Mr.. White, but his assail-
ant was not positively known to be
Thaw until after he had been taken to
the station house.
The woman who ACCOMPANIED Mr.
Thaw was Evelyn Nesbitt, nose mar
riage with Thaw for time estranged
the latter from his family. She was
member of the original "Florodoro''
sextette.
Mystery still surrounds the cause
of the tragedy, but it's solution may
be found in the words attributed TO
Thaw Immediately after the shooting:
"Well, he ruined my wife and l got
him."
1t is known that for years bitter en-
nifty had existed between White and
Thaw on account of the formers at
tentions to Mrs Thaw, which had be-
gun prior to her marriage.
Mrs. Thaw disappeared in the ex-
citemen while her husband was being
taken to the station house, and up to
late hour last night could not be
found.

TIoN At CLOSE RANGE IN.
STEAD.

Washington, June 26.- President
Roosevelt will visit the isthmus Of
Panama to make personal investiga-
tion of the work of construction Of
the Panama canal.
This announcement was made at the
White House Saturday by Secretary
Loeb after a conference with the
president
1t is expected that the president
will leave Washington for Panama the
latter part Of October or in the early
days of November He will be absent
about three weeks. The trip probably
will be made on one of the big cruis-
ers. but what vessel is not known.
Details Not Worked Out.
Details Of the trip have not been
worked out. Beyond the bare decision
to make the trip, the president has
reached practically no conclusions. 1t
is likely he will be accompanied by
Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts
of the Panama canal commission, but
even this has not been determined.
The president long has desired per-
sonally to inspect the route of the
canal and to make himself familiar
with the great undertaking.
The suggestion that he visit the
American zone on the isthmus has
been under consideration for consid-
cradle time 1t is the expectation that
the president will be able to spend at
least a week on the canal zone and,
in that time. he will familiarize him
self with the situation by a study of it
at close range.
Fit Him for Great Work.
A personal visit to the canal zone
will enable him to handle with an alb
solute knowledge of the situation the
great problems which constantly will
be arising.
Secretary Loeb said the president
had decided not to visit San Francisco
next autumn to participate in the cere-
monies incident to the laying of the
corner stone of the new federal build
ing. While the president desires to
do anything he properly can to pro
mote the reconstruction of the city, he
cannot make the trip to Panama and
that to San Francisco, too
For several weeks the president has
been considering the matter of making
trip next spring through the Middle
West, touching points in Ohio. Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma
and perhaps other states

Combination Forming to Compete
With Steel Corporation.
Pittsburg, June 26.-According to
reports from e. most authoritative
source, gigantic rival to the United
States Steel corporation is being
formed, which will compete every
where with the trust.
It is semi ohicially said that the Re.
public Iron and Steel company, owned
by John w. Gates and the Jones &
Laughlin interests, have combined.
The entire Southern pig iron interests
are being consolidated under the same
auspices, and the Cambria Iron works
win also be part and parcel OF the
combination.
During the past week there was
granted to the Jones & Laughlin in
terests at Pittsburg the right to con-
struct railway bridge across the river
at this place, an dthough It was given
out at the time that it was merely a
move to assist the Wabash railroad to
get into the Jones & Laughlin works
here, 1t has come out since that the
big independent steel concern has
taken the right OF way and surveyed
line straight through Allegheny aud
Washington counties In Pennsyl
vania. and is now pointing toward
the lakes in the vicinity Of Cleve-
land.

ST. Petersburg, June 27-Appre-
hension of the government with re-
gard to political agitation in the army

ant interest. based on parliament's
settlement of the agrarian question.

ly watching the peasant movement
and taking strong measures toward
preventing its further development,
and to this end is trying to balk meet
ings Of the organized peasant group in
parliament and the Peasants league,
which latter is organizing an agrarian
strike movement and which was for
bidden by the police to hold a pro-
posed convention in this city.
The uneasiness among the Jews is
still manifested in deluge of appeals
to members Of parliament for protec-
tion against attacks.

ZULU f1ISo
GENTLEMEN
I see. in an issue of your paper
recently sent me by some friend
of mine in Mississippi, an article
headed Cannon gave gold brick
to Williams" The statement
that Mr.. Cannon told me that to
keep the Democratic record
straight, all the Democrats would
bave to do was to introduce an
amendment to the bill, which
would declare for freer trade,
and he would give them a vote on
it and that | accepted this ar
rangement, as we'll as any other
statement that there was any sort
of understanding between the
Speaker and me, as to how | OF
any Democrat voted upon the
Philippine Tariff Bill, is abso-
lutely untrue. | did not line up
with the ''Insurgents' against the
majority bill for the simple reason
that the majority bill was nearer
right than the insurgents" bill.
A Democrat, in my opinion, who
does not take advantage of every
possible opportunity TO obtain
freer trade relations with the Phil
ippines, or with any other part of
the world, has committed mis-
take, both from the standpoint of
the good of his country and from
the standpoint Of the good of his
party. Voting with the "Insur-
gents, as you call them, would
not have bound them to the Dem
Ocrats, if we had voted with them
in behalf of Republican principles
and ideas. 1t would merely have
tied the Democratic party onto
the tail IF the car Ofultra- extreme
Republican protectionists, and
that would have been the end of
the respect of most people for it.
Very truly yours,
JOHN S. WILLIAMS.
