Arthur Pue German.

Mary lands senior Senator is dead.
He first entered the Senate as page
in 1852, and he may be said to have had
a hand in federal politics ever since,
although he did not become a Senator
until $780, But he was born political.
The gift of leadership or at least of
cooperation was part Of him, and
he has been felt in national affairs
nearly half a century, and yet he was
not seventy years old when he died.
Maryland never had more infiuen-
tial Senator. She certainly never had
one who rendered greater service to
the entire country, for it was Arthur
Pue German who defeated the Force
bill. She never had Senator who so
easily gained and held the leadership
of the democratic party in the Senate
and in national movements.
Like all forceful and successful men
he accumulated enemies. and at length

STRANGE Difference.

ut is strange what a difference there
is in the playing of a ball team ON diff
ferent days. said fan yesterday Sat
urday the Barons could not hit what
seemed to be an easy pitcher, the fielding
was loose and the team lost. On the 9TH
err hand, Little Rock jumped into the
game In the first inning, played snappy
ball through, and showed their runners
across the plate by good playing. winning
the game.
Now 1T was entirely different today.
The Barons had ginger to burn. They
played snappy ball throughout. and they
hit the ball often and hard, a complete
reversal of the form they showed Sat-
urday. Little Rock was exactly opposite.
The team played dumb ball from first to
last, never threw away an opportunity
to make the wrong play, and showed alb
solutely no ginger

sylvania led the crusade against re-
bates, President Cassatt is certainly
entitled to a just and fair hearing. He
claims, too, to have taken his big COM
pany out of politics. The two great
evils of American railroads have been
rebates and politics, and If Cassatt has
weeded them out of the Pennsylvania,
he has certainly done enough to entitle
him to a fair hearing. He should not
be decapitated before trial, even to
crafty the remarkable Mr. Baer.
Mr. Baer, or his friends, or both,
have been conducting a campaign for
Mr.. Cassatt's seat Mr. Cassatt crossed
the sea promptly TO meet the Baer con-
tingent, and now he says if any officer
or employee of the Pennsylvania should
be found guilty of corrupt practices by
the board appointed to investigate the
free-stock cases he would be summar-
lily dealt with. Mr. Baer could not
.Proydentially" do more. Mr. Cassatt
should therefore be given time to
turn in and to investigate in, and he

criticism that is due him. He feels
now that he has been tried by the
esteemed Judge Lynch.

ALABAMA IN THE SENATE.
he Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal
Put on his mettle by Mr. Hobson's I'M
expected victory over him in the race for
the nomination to the lower house of
Congress, Representative Banlhead of
Alabama has now announced himself as a
candidate for the United States Senate In
case of a vacancy. He will have as COM
petitors very large number of ambitious
fellow democrats, who are and have been
for a long time waiting for chance to
fill the shoes of either one of those frisky
old senators, John Tyler Morgan or Ed
mund Winston Pettus. Mr. Morgans
term will expire in 1907 and that of Mr.
Pettus in 1909. The latter, who is the pa
triarch of the Senate will celebrate his
eighty-ffth birthday in July. and Mr.
Morgan will be 50 next month. 1t has not
occurred ITO either that he is too old
to serve Another term in the Senate at
the expiration Of his present term. and,
so far as heard from, neither means to
allow Congressman Banlxhead or anybody
else to assist him In his dignifled and de-
liberate progress toward old age. The
Alabama senators are both vigorous
physically and mentally; and in spite of
the long number OF years which they have
lived. the state would not be the gamer
by a change.

War at Cananea, Sonora.

The Southern Pacific railroad passes
through Ell Paso to skirt along the
Mexican border several hundred miles.
Just south of Tombstone and Naco in
AEzona. branch railroad, about forty
miles long. extends to Cananea, a
copper-mining town in Mexico, where
q two-days battle was fought last week,
resulting in the death of thirty-fiye
Mexicans and six Americans. No
troops were sent across the border, and
the Mexican officials, assisted by Next
can rurales or militia, are in full con-
troll of the situation. Peace has been
fully restored. Cananea is town of
ABOUT $4,000 people, and the great cop
per mines are the source of its pros
perity.
The whole matter came speedily
into the hands of two friendly govern
ments, and no international questions
are expected to grow out of it. All
have confidence in the good sense and
fairness of President Diaz, and the
governor of Sonora is also considered
a fair-minded, capable man.
1t is not thought that the outbreak

There seems to have been a labor
strike in the lumber yard at the Greene
mines. General Torres says the Amer
ic1ns opened fire ON the strikers-that
the strikers then stoned two Americans
to death-that the Americans then
rode through the streets shooting at
Mexicans Unfortunately. What the
strikers in the lumber yard demanded
has not been made clear, but it seems
to have been a demand for better
wages on the part of the Mexicans

trouble was soon ended, and that Il

If the Boston man refused to undertake

Colonel Greene decided to let Lawson

It was reported then in Wall street that
Colonel Greene would surely destroy him

lives.
James W. Goodman, at one time
heavy investor In copper stocks, armed
himself with revolver on April 8, 1904,
and started out for the purpose of killing
Colonel Greene, whom he accused Of
causing him to lose his fortune. He met
Colonel Greene in Seventy-second street,
and held his weapon against the brokers'
body as he demanded restitution. Colonel
Greene coaxed him to ride downtown to
his office. in Broad street. and said they
would discuss their differences there.
Goodman kept the gun trained on his man

BOSTON SYMPHONY.
Or. Carl Muck Engaged as Conductor
BY Emperor's Consent.

Boston. June 3-Major Henry L. Hig-
ginson received a cable despatch this az
ternoon from Charles A. Ellis, manager
of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, an
nounelng that by special permission of the
German Emperor DIR. Carl Muck of the
Royal Opera, Berlin. had received a leave
of absence of one year from October /,
1906 and would come to Boston to be the
conductor of the Boston Symphony Or
chestra.
His first appearance in this city will be
at the first public rehearsal of the coming
season, on Friday afternoon, October L.
Mr.. Ellis has been in Europe since the
middle of April to secure successor to
Mr.. Gericke, who retired from the con-
ductorship of the orchestra at the end
of the season that is just finished.
Negotiations with DIR. Muck have been
in progress for some time, but his en-
gagement was made most uncertain by
the unwillingness of Emperor William to
give him a leave of absence from his
important duties in Berlin. This permits
sion was not received from the Emperor
until Saturday morning. when the con-
tract was closed.
DR.. Muck has the reputation of being
one of the greatest conductors of Europe
and his musical career has been one Of
uninterrupted successes.
He was born in Darmstadt October %,
1859. His father was a government clerk
and intended him for mercantile career.
After leaving the gymnasium in Darms-
tadt, he went to Heidelberg in 1877 for a
course of philosophy. After years res
idence there he went to the Leplsic Mus
ical Conservatory. He continued his uni
versity studies, which brought him the
degree of doctor of philosophy from Hell
delberg.
Determined to be a musician. he made
his debut in 1880 as a pianist at a concert
in Leipsic. His success was one of the
features of the season, but instead of
pursuing the career of a pianist he i'm
mediately prepared himself to become a
conductor His first post was in Zurich,
whence he went to Salzburg and after
wards to Gratz. His first important post
was the opera in Prague, where he went
in 1856 and remained for six years.
His first appearance in Berlin was In
1891, when he was guest conductor at
the Leasing theatre. In 1892 he became
conductor of the Royal Opera, at Berlin.
He has conducted at the Royal opera
at Covent Garden and the symphony con-
certs in London, Paris. st. Petersburg,
Moscow, Brussels, Madrid and Vienna.

1.-THE First Apostle" confined to his rooms

of scores of bouquets and many tele-

boy brought a bunch of fifty-nine Ameri-
can beauty roses, but he refused to say
who was the sender.
The aged prophet" was almost alone as
his birthday passed. Too Ill to leave his
bed, and with but few of his immediate
advisers about him, the deposed leader
rejoiced for a time over anniversary re-
membranes and then gave way to weep
ing over what he termed his desolate
condition.
Some business men to whom l owe
money and others who do not belong to
Zion have sent me flowers he COM
planned, but those whom l saved from
their sins, whom took into my fold and
cared for as my children, they are not
wishing me good fortune on this day.
Father why have they forsaken me?'
