WAR SCARE MANIPULATED.

| LONDON, July 13.-There is still q
| disposition in most of the European
| capitals TO take the American-Japa-
nese situation rather seriously. Europe,
however, suspects that the crisis is
| largely artificial, or rather it is be-
| ing aggravated by a sinister manipu-
| lation which is not entirely American
or japanese.
1t is sufficiently obvious, for instance,
that Russia would be only too glad to
see her late enemy embroled with
America. The idea held in st. Peters
burg and Berlin is that in case of war
the japanese would seize the Philip
pines and practical deadlock would
follow for perhaps three or four years.
America would never compromise
such d quarrel, but would go to work
building ships. Any time that she
was ready to strike effectively Russia
would be prepared to take her re-
venge also. Then in case Great Britain
took a hand Germany would join in
the general melee on the side of Amer
lea and Russia.
This is a fne cold blooded PROPOSE
tion, but it is not worth losing sleep
over. 1t merely suggests that the mo-
tives of some iingo agitation in the
press should be closely watched
COLOGNE, July 13.-The Gazette
says editorially today that the pro-,
posed despatch of the largest part of
the United States navy to the Pacific
ocean can not be regarded as a mere
naval maneuver. 1t is plainly the Sc
quel of the anti-Japanese irritation on
the west coast. Undoubtedly, says
the Gazette, Washington thought pru
denee the mother of valor, and pre-
cautions were taken to be prepared
for all emergencies The prudence here
seems to be exaggerated. On the 9th
er hand nobody can blame the Amer
leans for taking steps to prevent any
possible coup de main against their
territory.
Those who know Japan best, how
ever, agree that the chances of con
fiict with the United States are ex-
ceedingiy small. Desire of conquest on
the part of America is of course out |
of the question. But neither has Japan
sensible cause to seek quarrel As
the prize of victory the Philippines
alone could be considered, and they |
are hardly worth the risks that would |
be involved in a war with the United |
States.
Even though it be granted that the
Japanese feet is a match for that of |
the United States, the difference in the |
financial positions is so great that Japan |
would pause ten times before embark |
ing upon such perilous enterprise. :"

Johnson at Wadesboro, May 2s. 1906. this afternoon returned a verdict of not guilty. after being out half an hour. The jury took but one ballot and the verdict of acquittal was unanimous. When court assembled this morning the State. at the sugges- ton of Judge Peebles, formally mol pressed the third count in the indict- ment, which charged the defendant with the actual Iynchinx and Killing of Johnson. and the jury therefore, com sidered only the first and econd counts. charging the defendant with breaking into the jail and taking out Johnson for the purpose of lynchinE him.
 The argument was concluded at noon and following a recess of three hours Judge Peebles began his charge. The acQuittal of Jones was followed by a demonstration on the part of the other defendants. visitors and witnesses from Anson County, who gathered on the court house grounds and gave vent to their feelings by wild cheering. which the court did not think II necessary 10 suppress. The jury for the trial of the second of the twenty defendants. Zeke Lewis. will be chosen tomorrow.

FORAKER ON STUMP
TELLS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RE-
 PUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.
Declares People of South Would Like to See Negro Prohibited from Wearing Even Uniform
 of Private.

Cincinnati, O., July 1s.-In an ad- dress before the Miami Valley Chautau- qua at Maimisburg. O., today. United States Senator Foraker called on tariff revisionists for a Dill of particulars' and explained some points in the recent rate legislation which did not seem to him to have been clearly understood by the public.
 In. referring to the. Brownsville in- cident, Foraker said:
 T have been charged with voting against the rate bill. with opposing joint Statehood. with trying to secure a hearing before the American people for the negro soldiers who were dis. charged without honor. but reel thankful that no Democrat has ever nominated me for office; not that dis like Democrats as men, but because l am a. Republican and do not like their principles and politics.
 Tt may be pleasing to Democrats Of the South to see the negro soldiers thus nut out of the service. for the sentt- ment there Is we'll nigh universal that they should not be allowed to wear the uniform even of a private soldier. But where is the Republican. North or south. who believes in the teaching of Abraham Lincoln. Ulysses s. Grant, Oliver P. Morton. James c. Blaine. Benjamin Harrison and William Me- Kinley, who does not believe that no man can be SO black, nor can he be so humble. but that he shall have his day in court. When the Republican party falters in its devotion to this duty 1t will dissolve and perish as the Whig party did and it will deserve the fate that so overtakes 1t"

Southern Railway ticket agents. convicted and sen tanced by Police Judge Reynolds nere yesterday to thirty days service on inc public roads for the violation of the rate law, began before Judge Pritchard this afternoon when Police Justice Reynolds and several other witnesses were examined.
 Hallway counsel sought to get Key holds to admit that he procured issu- ance of warrants and threatened to js- s,,e others as soon as Pritchard left Inc city. and tried to obtain similar admissions from other witnesses. State counsel objected to the courts hear ing evidence refecting on motives of a State court in acting, and Judge Pritchard said he would not hear the evidence for this purpose. Upon state wont from defendants counsel that the evidence was introduced for the lur- nose of chewing that there was in- tent from various sources to harrass and cripple the railway financially so that Judge Pritchard's rate order nada here June 2s, would be nullified in effect and the court thus prevented from giving relief afforded If the law should be found to be unconstitutional inc judge allowed the evidence.

JUDGE WOOD LIMITS SCOPE
 Rules Out Much of | Evidence.
 HAWLEY BEGINS ADDRESS
 Defense Could Not Connect Up Conspiracy Theory. h Opening Argument, Leading Counsel for the State Hclds that Harry Orchard Told Nothing But Truth.

Boise. Idaho. July 19.-The field for argument, both for the prosecution and defense of William D. Haywood. has been limited by Judge Wood. who. in a decision handed down today removed from consideration from the jury all evidence bearing on the alleged con- spiracy by mine owners and others against the Western Federation CT Miners.
 Judge Wood decided that the defense had made no legal connection of the Mine Owners Association. the Citisens Alliance of Colorado. and the Pinker- ton Detective Agency. as laying foundation for the evidence introduced by the defense to show that the charge against Haywood and his co-defeno- ants Is the outcome of 8 conspiracy to exterminate the Federation.
 Immediately following the announce ment of this decision. argument com menced. Judge Hawley. leading coun- sel for the State. spoke for two hours and fifteen minutes of the afternoon session, the morning session having been adjourned to enable the Judge to prepare his decision.
 MT. Hawley, who has been Ill TOT several days. commenced his address In a voice almost inaudible to any ex- cept the jury. He apologized for this. however, explaining that he had feared he would be unable owing to ill-healtn to deliver a prolonged address. MT. Hawley is the Nestor of the Boise bar. He is a man of impressive appearance and aggressive speech. warming to his subject, his voice lost all trace or weakness His address after the open ing statement in which he explained that he had none of the grace or words to constitute an orator.. was at times eloquently impassioned but With al a plain analysis of the case.
 He characterized the case IS the most important ever given to the .ury In ,the IJnfteo States and urged the jury to a serious consideration of the responsi- bility placed upon them. .s His denunciation of the defendant and his co-conspirators as the worst hand of criminals that ever infested any section of this eountry," !" was force fui and his euiogy of ex-Governor Steunenberg eloquent in the extreme. MT. Hawley described Orchards story as truthful not only because of the manner in which it was told but be- cause 1t had been corrooorated In eV- cry important detail.
 counsel for the defense repeatedly in- terrupted MT. Hawley with protests and objections. but these only seemed to stir him to greater effort. Once or twice he turned to Clarence Darrow and faced him with a roar of anger. and at another time he said: Tt does not lie in the mouth of counsel to ind excuse for these awful crimes.
 MT. Hawley will continue his erCu- ment tomorrow when court meets at s:3o and will probably conclude before adjournment.
 Judge Wood has notified counsel for the defense tha: he expects argument for their side to commence Monday.

POLICE FAIL TO QUIET CROWD

New Orleans. July 1s--A city jaiI was used today as . place of refuge Tor MT. and Mrs. Monteleone. Italians released on habeas corpus proceedings this afternoon after several weeks im- prisonment as suspects in the LAmana case. Several hundred angry Italians surrounded the Monteleone house and guard of twenty-fv policemen failed to quiet the crowd. The Monteleones were finally put in a patrol wagon and taken to nearby police station. Dur ing the excitement Peter Lamana. fath- CT of the Kidnapped boy. with re- volver in his hand. made violent at- tempts to break through the crowd. saying he wanted to get at the Monte leones. He was taken to tho police station. though not put under arrest
 Except for this incident the city was quiet today.
 The presence of three companies of militia and rapid fire guns at the Hahnville jail has apparently stopped all intention of mobs to go from here to Hahnville for a lynching. It was decided today that tho four prisoners will not be sentenced untin Monday. It Is reported that immediately follow. ing sentence an adequate force of mil- itia will escort the prisoners to Baton Rouge to begin sentence.

No One ts Pass on Insurnnce Securities
 h Texas.
 Austin, Tex. July 10.-What may prove to be an omission in the Robert son Insurance law which will make valueless the safeguards which 1t in tended to throw about insurance in Texas was discovered today by the State Treasurer. Among the securities received by him from one of the insu- rance companies in the State, the Guar anty Life Insurance Company of Hous- ton. was a note for $75.000 given by a plantation company.
 Having no means at hand to deter mine whether the note was an accept able security, state Treasurer Sparks consulted Adjutant General Davidson and Insurance Commissioner Miller. Neither of these officials having any information to determine the worth of the note. an examination of the law was made to determine whose duty 1t was to pass upon the securities offered and 1t was found the law fails to make 1t the duty of any person to do this. As the law reads. 1t appears as though no Investigation into the value of the or tginal securities is required. thus 1t Is believed practically nullifying the law.

DELAYED / FLARE BACK Naval Board on Georgia
 Accident. GUN CREW TOO JEALOUS Endeavor to Break Firing Records
 Caused Catastrophe. Authorities Are Relieved That They Have se New Problem of Safe.
 ty to Deal with-Cruse -.-.... Dead.
GUN CREW TOO JEALOUS

Washington. July 10.-By a process of elimination the naval board which has investigated the accident whereby the men in the turret of the battleship Georgia lost their lives has arrived at the conclusion that a delayed fare back" caused this catastrophe.
 In one sense the verdict Is received with a distinct sense of relief by naval officers because 1t showed that they had no new element of danger to con- tend with. They had expected flare backs" before and at the time they knew how to deal with them. A "de, layed Bareback" Is caused by closing on too soon the blast of compressed air which Is supposed to expel from the bore of the gun the unburnt gases and fragments of smoldering powder covering what might be left from the last discharge.
 After the terrible accident in the Missouri's turret three years ago re- sulting in the loss of more than thirty lives the experts having decided that that accident was caused by the igni- tion of the new charge by the unburnt gases and smolaering cartridge cloth of the preceding charge. the ordnance bureau caused to be fitted to the breech of each of the great guns an air blast apparatus calculated to expel by com pressed air the gases or cloth that might remain in the bore of the gun. So far this has worked we'll and there have been no "hare-backs" since |, the device was installed.
 In the case Of the Georgia's eight inch guns. what happened was this:
 Tho breech of the gun was thrown open and the air blast turned in at a pressure of 100 pounds to the square inch. This is sufficient for all ordin- ary purposes with the important quail fication that 1t should be continued long enough to drive the last remnant of gas or cloth from the gun bore. In this case the gases or smoldering were driven probably more than half air blast was turned of. | The Geor- gia was speeding at ten knots into the wind which blew into the n1uzzle of the gun. The unexpelled gases or cloths were driven back by the breeze into the breech of the gun ana out upon the powder charge that was just about to be inserted. The explosion that fol- lowed was inevitable
 The cause of this accident therefore, will. without doubt be set down to tho ambition of the gunners to make a record practice in point of speed. Had the air blast been kept on for a second longer. in all probability. the accident would have been avoided. These shots from an eigh inch gun in a turret in one minute or ten shots from both guns na turret in two minutes. Is record practice and there Is reason to belle ye that Lieutenant Goodrich's turret crew were ambitious to smash that record.

ECONOMY KEY NOTE.
Will Be Policy of New York Life In-
 aurance Company.

huEunce SOmPany.
 New York. July 19.-Economy, the widest. fairest and fullest publicity and continuation of a world wide policy Is to be the key nete of the administra- ton of the New York Life Insurance Company as announced by President Darwin P. Kingsley in his first letter to policyholders which was made pub lie today.
 Mir Kingsley in his letter says he believes the State of New York has made an economic mistake in putting an arbitrary limitation upon the amount of new business which the company may do in a year. He be- lieves that in the interest of policy holders the company should be permit ted to do what business 1t can normal Iy do within the limit of expense fixed by law.
 If, however. we learn from larger experience that we are wrong in this belief" says the letter, "and that a life insurance company can better serve it's members If 1t has only one thousand millions of insurance instead of two thousand millions. If 1t oper- ates in only one country instead of all the countries of the world. then I shall be quick to recognize that fact and shall act accordingly"
