TAFT SPtAKs AT BATH.
Discusses Labor ProbIem-His oppo-
 sitlon to Gompers' Views.

Bath, Me, Sept. 5-William H. Taft, secretary of war, addressed a large audience at Almeda hall here tonight, and was given an enthusiastic meet ing. It was Secretary Taft's only ap- pearance in the Maine campaign. He was introduced by Harold F. Sewall, formerly United States consul at Ha- waii, whose guest he is while here. MT. Sewall spoke of Secretary Taft as the probable successor of Theodore Roose- welt. Secretary Taft went into a long discussion of the labor problem. In a concluding paragraph he said:
 ''It seems clear, therefore, that how ever pure and honest the intentions of MT. Gonnpers or the American F'edera- ton of Labor, and do not question the sincerity and earnestness of their purpose in opposing the views of other labor organizations and of President Roosevelt. and in demanding the pass age of this bill, they are not invoking the equal protection of the laws. They are seeking to make the workingmen who violate the rights of others in la Dor disputes a privileged class, and se- cure to them unequal immunity from the effective processes of the law"

HAVANA HOW REPORTS
 PEACE IS IN TRE AIR
ANOTHER HOPE THAT GOVERN MENT AND REBELS WILL ATa-
 RANGE MATTERS.

However. There Has Been Tangible
 Advance towards an Agreement OF
 Definite Basis fOr Negotiations
 Meantime Fighting Has Been Sus-
 pended ractically--Delegates Start
 for Tnsurgent Camps to Find Out
 What VIII be Acceptable to Actual
 Leaders.
 Havana, Sept. 5.-Peace is in the air, and on all sides tonight there is hope that matters will be arranged between the government and the insurgents SO as to avoid further bloodshed How ever, there has been no tangible ad- vance towards an agreement or to a definite basis for negotiations.
 Meantime fighting has been suspend ed practically. Delegates informally chosen by a small group of veterans started to-day for the camps of Pino Guerra, Colonel Asbers, General Guz- man and other of the insurgent leaders, with the purpose of learning what will be acceptable to the actual fighting leaders of the revolution. A similar committee started for Cienfuegos to consult under flag of truce with the insurgent leaders in Santa Clara prov ince. Late this afternoon General Men ocal, General Cebreco and other vet erans held conference with Alfredo Zayas, the leader of the liberal party, which, however, did not result ill reaching any understanding. At the same time the executive committee of the moderate party was holding a con- ference, at which the subject of peace was exctedly discussed, although no determination was reached.
 The Associated Press is informed, all though the fact has not been made pub have been directed to suspend active field operations until it can be deter mined what can be done to end the war The propositions which the pro- moters of the peace movement have in mind include a special session of con- gress to pass acts of amnesty for the holding of municipal elections within sixty days to be supervised by mem bers of both parties. and a new gen. eral election law, providing for minori- ty representation in all branches of the national and municipal governments. These propositions seem to appeal to the public, although liberals are in- clined to demand also the resignation of all high officials, including the pres ident and members of the cabinet, which the government, of course, can not consider It is feared that the de- mands of the insurgent leaders in the field will be much more exacting than those of insurgent sympathizers in the cites, who, ostensibly at least, assume to be non- combatants.

Important Change In Rules Governing
 Cambridge Harvard Race.

London, Sept. 6,-An important change was made in the Cambridge Harvard university boat race rules, which was signed last night by Captain Goldsmith for Cambridge and Captain Filley for Harvard and by Referee R. c. Lehman, to the effect that, if at any point in the race there should be a se- rious accident to either boat not due to the fault of any individual and materi- ally affecting the result, the umpire is empowered to restart the race. the same or some other day, after consultation with Captains Goldsmith and Filley. Similarly the race may be restarted if either boat should be interfered with by a steamer, barge or other obstacle.
 All the morning newspapers to-day give attention to these sportsmanlike conditions, the Daily Telegraph voicing the consensus of opinion in the declara- tion that "the spirit of fair race and no favor never was better exemplified.

DAMAGE BY DEAR MUST BE PAID
An Important Opinion by Attorney Gen.
 eral King.

Hartford, Sept 5.--Attorney-G General King to-day handed down an opinion on the appeal to him by the state game commission regarding the liability of the state for damages to crops and trees by deer, which have destroyed considerable property during the last two years. Charles zola, Glastonbury farmer, brought an action against the selectmen of that town for several hun- dred dollars damages alleged to have been caused to his peach crop, and the i selectmen took the matter to the state game commission, which in turn ap- pealed to the attorney general for an opinion.
 The encouragement says that, al- though there was question as to whether or not peach trees can be classed as crops, he thinks that the town and state are liable for the dam age done by the deer, and that Zola should be reimbursed.
 This is the first case of the kind brought against any town in the state under the statute passed at the last ses sion of the legislature pertaining to the destruction of crops by deer, and to- days opinion by the attorney general should have an important bearing on future actions, Never has the destruc- tion of crops been so great as during the last year, farmers from all parts of the state reporting that the animals. which, according to law, cannot be shot, have played havoc with their fruit and vegetables.
 I Game Commissioner George M. Math- ewson will act as one of the appraisers to estimate the damage in the zola case, and the farmer will collect from the town, which will be compensated later by the state.
