WHITES RETIREMENT
ABSOLUTE CONFIRMATION IN RE.
GARD TO THE REPORT Is
STILL LACKING.
NEW POLICY OF THE CAR
DISMISSED PREMIER TO PUT
HIMSELF IN LINE WITH RE.
sULToF ELECTIONS.

st. Petersburg, May 2.-Absolute
confirmation of the reported retire
ment of Premier WHITE, which has
been the sole topic of conversation in
political circles during the day, is
still lacking, but in ST. Petersburg only
few skeptics who have heard the cry
of wolf" with reference to the pre-,
mier's resignation too often, express
doubt that the once powerful leader
has surrendered the reins. Count
White himself is as silent as the
sphynx. During the day he baked by
his grim reticence an attempt to draw
him out, this attempt having been
made by caller to whom he had fire.
Quently given his confidence.
In the course of conversation re.
garding business matters an official
ventured to remark to the premier,
"the papers are full of rumors Of the
retirement OF your excellency."-
The suggestion evoked no answer
except the noncommittal, indeed"
and when flattering reference to the
weakness caused on the Moscow and
st. Petersburg bourses by the report
of the resignation had shared the came
fate, the visitor desisted.
A strong intimation was given that
the acceptance of Count Whites
resignation will not be announced un-
til after the convocation of the nation
al parliament. The plausible theory
is advanced at court that Count
Whites dismissal is not a move in the
direction of reaction, but really is due
to Emperor Nicholas desire to put
himself in line with the result of the
elections and that his purpose is to
reorganize the cabinet to meet the new
conditions by the inclusion of some
Constitutional Democrats, though the
leader of the ministry will be of the
emperors own choice. Though this
suggestion is novel, certain things tend
to show that it is not at all impossible.
Close observers will not be amazed by
the retirement of Minister of the In.
terror Durnovo as well as of Premier
White.
The Liberal leaders, however, are
nonplussed by the remarkable change
of commanders at this crucial instant
and are inclined to interpret it as
showing that reaction has obtained
the upper hand. These prophets pre-
dict the dissolution of the national
parliament and all sorts of retrograde
movements.

WINS THE BIG MARATHON RACE.
Canadian Splinter Distances All Com
petitors at Athens.

tSSsVto at HtUSHos
Athens, May 1.-The Marathon race,
the big event of the Olympic games,
was won by William Sherring of Ham
ilton, Ont. The Canadians time was
2:51:23%. Svamberg of Sweden was
second, finishing in 2:5S:20. w. G.
Frank, representing the Irish-Ameri-
can A. c. Of New York was third. His
time was 3:OO:46.
The days events raised America s
score to eleven firsts, against four for
Great Britain, three for Greece and
two for Sweden. Nothing remains but
the prize-giving. H#
Interest in the Marathon race over
Swallowed everything else. Every one
was in fever of Impotence until the
result was known. All shops were
closed and business was completely
suspended The whole population of
Athens and its suburbs and of the viii
lagos in the vicinity, altogether some
100000 persons, filled and overlooked
the stadium and spread along the
Marathon road and the surrounding
hills, forming human barrier behind
the troops along the entire length OF
the course.
Classified by nationality, the runners
consisted of 26 Greeks, z BritOns, in
Guiding Canadians and Australians;
Americans, 3 Germans, Frenchmen,
2 Italians, Swiss, 1 Belgian, Dane
and 2 Egyptians.
The contestants started in three
ranks, one meter apart, at exactly 3
o'clock. The weather was splendid. A
mounted officer rode in front with a
chrOnometer and acted as timekeep-
er. The race started at hot pace. At
the tenth kilometer Frank was lead
ing. At the twentieth kilometer Blake
was leading, followed by Frank and
Sherring. Soon afterward Sherrins
took the lead, followed by Svamberg
and Frank Sherring kept the lead
until the end
The crescendo of cheers along the
road grew into roars as, at $50 p. M,
a cavalry officer, followed by single
runner, was seen approaching. At the
gates Of the stadium Sherring, smil-
ing, and looking fresh and not at all
distressed, was joined by Crown
Prince Constantine, who ran along
side until he ended his long journey in
front of King George and Queen Olga.
The king handed Sherring bouquet,
whilst ladies showered flowers and
gifts upon him. There was great
cheering and enthusiasm, although the
Greeks evidently were disappointed.

STRIKE OF THE LoNesHoREMEN.
No Important Developments Looked
for at Present.

Detroit, May marine men here
DO not look for any important develop
ments in the strike of the internatiOn-
al longshoremen, marine and trans
port workers association until the
dock managers decide upon plan for
unloading the boats at lower lake
ports. The longshoremen who I'M
| load the freight carriers do not deal
directly with the Lake Carriers asso-
| citation, but with the dock managers,
whom the Lake Carriers association
pays.
1.-THE unloading of our boats" said
President Livingstone of the lake car
riers during the afternoon, lis the
business of the dock managers and un-
til they are ready to do so 1t is USE
less for us to fill the places of the
strikers and run the vessels to lower
lake ports to be tied up. But we shall
be ready to move the boats as soon as
the dock managers can care for them"
President Livingstone said that he
had received advices from Buffalo that
the elevators will make no effort to
break the strike there Wutil the grain
In store is well shipped out. This will
take nearly two weeks, as the eleva-
tors are full The employees are load
ing cars but will not unload boats.
Upwards of 100000 bushels of grain
are afloat, bound for Buffalo.
Apprehensions that the Lake Sea-
mems union might declare strike
against the Lumber Carriers associa-
ton as result of the latter associa-
ton recognizing the Mates union af
filiated with the longshoremen, in
stead of the Mates union affiliated
with the lake seamen, proved ground
less. The local agent of the seamen
received Instructions from Chicago
that the seamen must carry out all ex-
listing contracts.
This order includes a recent agree
ment with the Lumber Carriers as

NEW YORK CAPITALISTS TO FUR.
NlSH MONEY TO REBUILD
SAN FRANCISCO. u
FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES
DECIDED THAT THE CITIZENS
COMMITTEE SHALL ACCEPT
ALL OFFERS OF AID.

San Francisco. May 1.-THE first
definite proposition for furnishing
money on large scale with which to
rebuild part of the burned section of
the city was made public during the
day when it was announced that syn
dictate of New York capitalists has
agreed to advance $1OO,OO0,O0O The
news came in telegram received by
w. F. Herrin, chief counsel of the
Southern Pacific, from United States
Senator Newlands of Nevada, who had
large interest in the Palace hotel.
Senator Newlands stated that New
York financiers have virtually con-
sented to supply the money on a bond
and mortgage basis. The names of
the New York men were not given.
The offer is under discussion by the 10.
cal finance committees.
1t was decided that the citizens com.
mittee shall accept all offers of aid
from foreign countries. This decision
was reached when a communication
was received through Japanese official
sources asking if the citizens would
receive the contribution of 100000
yen made by the emperor of Japan and
declined by the United States govern
ment. The finance committee holds
that San Francisco, being essentially
a cosmopolitan city, is obliged to care
for many destitute foreigners and that
it would be proper in these circum-
stances to accept all tenders of as
sistance.
Money stringency Relieved.
The local money stringency was
somewhat relieved when the banks
resumed business in a small measure
through the branch United States
mint. Well known depositors were
given certified checks for small sums
by the savings banks, and business
clients of commercial banks were ac-
commodated with sums not exceeding
$500 each.
A special session of the legislature
at an early date is being earnestly
considered by the general committee.
The calamity will call for many
changes in the California statutes and
in the city charter in order to permit
new regulations for increasing indebt-
edness, longer leases, etc.
The relief of the destitute was con-
tinued under the new system and it
Is reported that all unworthy and un-
deserving persons will within a few
days be eliminated from the lists.
Plans for establishing and maintain
Ing a large free employment bureau
have been perfected and will be speed
lily put into operation.
An astonishing amount of building
has been commenced The new
structures are all one-story frames,
but they will be sufficient for the
wants of their builders.
James D. Phelan, chairman of the
finance committee, has received a
telegram from Secretary of War Taft,
notifying him that only $7S0,0O0 re-
manned out of the $2,500000 appro-
priated by congress, and that this
sum would be expended by the depart
ment.
The total receipts of the commit
tee were reported to be $791.231.

The Test of Hardness.

A good many people appear to think that resistance to blow is test of hardness ill minerals, whereas 1t is re- sistance to erosion. Ignorance of this fact led man not long ago to expert ment on what appeared to be a large and unusually clear garnet of rather light red color He took a hammer to 1t and smashed it to atoms X diamond is the hardest substance in the world, yet it may be broken by tap from a hammer or even fall on the sidewalk, as it is apt to split along any of the cleavage lines. which are parallel to its faces. Experts test an undeter- mined gem first with a file and after with fragment of stone of differing hardness If it yields to the file. it is a glass or something no more durable than that.
