SITUATION IMPROVES
Officials Believe the Worst Is
Now Over in France.
PEACE GENERALLY RESTORED
Action Of Chamber of Deputies in Sup
porting the Governments Policy
QuelIing the Disturbances.

Paris, June 24-Premier Clemen-
| ceau was able to give his colleagues
at the meeting of the cabinet a gen
orally hopeful report of the situation,
the belief being that the worst is over.
The ministers decided that under the
circumstances and in view of the
bloodshed it would be out of harmony
with his own and public opinion for
President Fallieres to attend the COM
ing festivities at Royan and Bor-
deaux, where he intended to review
the fleets and attend a reception On
board the United States armored
cruiser Washington. The arrange
ments for the presidents visits were
therefore cancelled.
With the exception of the conflict
between troops and rioters at Mont.
pellier, where order was restored in
the early hours Of the morning, the
night passed without any disturbances
In the South. The action of the cham
ber of deputies In supporting the gov
ernment has proved influential in re-
storing calm. The bishops In the dis
turbed area are ranging themselves on
the side of the ''pacificists" and are
exhorting the people to avoid conflicts
with the troops and to cease destroy
ing railroad property and making at
tacks on government buildings. AT
Narbonne the night passed without
incident. Although there Is much
suppressed excitement there have
been no further attempts to disturb
order there.
The chamber of deputies has passed
practically unanimously, all the
clauses of the wine frauds bill previ
ously adopted separately, thus en-
abling the government to put the
measure into immediate effect and re-
move the principal grievances Of the
wine growers. The remainder OF the
clauses of the bill will be taken UP
without delay.

IAN UNWHlPPED MOB"

Causes Much Discussion.

San Francisco, June 24.-In reply to
an invitation requesting the participa-
ton of the United States troops In
the Fourth of July parade General
Frederick Funston sent communica.
ton that has caused much discussion
among the members of the committee
having In charge the coming celebra-
tion.
While the members refuse to give
out the letter for publication at this
time 1t is stated that one sentence
used is responsible for the discussion,
II appears that after thanking the
committee for the kind invitation ex-
tended to the troops General Funston
said he was loath to parade his men
in the streets of San Francisco Ito
be-" as he is quoted, "sneered at and
jeered at by an unwhipped mob"
After considerable discussion it was
decided to appoint a special committee
to consider the matter and decide
whether any reply should be made.
Supervisor O'Neil was appointed
chairman and Rev. Philip Organ and
Samuel Adelstein are the other mem
berS.

FROM HIS CELL IN JAIL.
Mayor Schmitz Vetoes Action ot
Frisco Supervisors.

San Francisco, June 24.-From his
executive cell In the county jail Mayor
Schmitz has returned to the board OF
supervisors the municipal budget and
a message vetoing the appropriation
of $720,000 for the reconstruction OF
the Geary street road.
Schmitz, besides opposing the ap-
preparation for the Geary street rail-
way. also objected to the levy OF a
special tax of 20 cents to raise rev
enue for the city government
Acting Mayor Gallagher said that
Schmitz' right to pass upon the budget
was not questioned by the board.
The first actual clash between Chief
Of Police Dinan and Acting Mayor
Gallagher came when Dinan fiatfoot'
edly refused to recognize Gallagher
signature as that of the mayor OF San
Francisco The signature was on
fight permit issued to the Central Ath
letic club for a series of six four
round boxing bouts and before oman
would allow the doors to open to the
crowd the promoters OF the show had
to bring him permit signed by Eu'
gene f. Schmitz.

PLAN NEARLY COMPLETED
Oil Trust Will Soon Own Transcon.
tnentaI Railroad.

Washington, June 24.-The Stand
ard Oil company will within two years
own and operate complete trans
continental railroad system, in the
opinion Of those here familiar with
such matters. This line will extend
from the Atlantic tidewater at New
port News, Va, to Seattle and Port
land by way of Chicago. Every mile
will be controlled by the Standard Oil
interests and from the day it opens 1t
will be the most potent transportation
influence on the continent.
The new road will be in position
to compete for the grain business
which comes down from Duluth and
Chicago and for the business of sup
plying coal to the Northwest. Part OF
the plan is to develop Newport News
as a great port of export. The con-
troll of the road Is to be within the
Standard Oil group, SO that II neces-
sary at any time in the future 1t can
be used as an instrument for punish
ing competing roads which manifest
hostility to the big oil concern.

MUZZLING THE PRESS.
Government Campaign in Russia Con
tinues Vigorously.

st. Petersburg, June 24-The gov
ernment's repressive campaign against
the Liberal press, to prevent hostile
criticism of the dissolution of the par
lament and the new electoral law,
continues vigorously. Dispatches from
many cities report that papers have
been fined from $500 up to $4,000.
The radical papers have been sup
pressed entirely and their editors in
several instances fled, among them
being M. Gorshkoff, who was mem
ber of parliament from Yelizavetgrad.
The fines inflicted at Moscow In one
day amounted to $1,000. Such repre-
sentative organs as the Russkaya
Viedomosti and the Russkoe Slovo
were fined without explanation.
Lieutenant Vuyakhevich, who par
ticipated in the suppression Of the
recent mutiny of the sapper battalion
at Kiev, has committed suicide.

FLAT TlNO-CENT RATE|
Passenger Fares on All Railroads
Are to Be Reduced.
SECRET MEETING IN CHICAGO
Two Big Transcontinentai Lines Said
TO Have Served Notice on the 9th
Rate Into Effect July l.

Chicago, June 24.-The Inter-Ocean
says:
Passenger rates on all railroads of
the United States will be reduced to
cents a mile. The lowering of the
price and complete abolition of the old
Scent rate will begin on July /.
This was the decision reached at a
secret meeting here after long and
heated discussion by the leading rail-
road presidents of all the Western
and transcontinental roads. 1t was
not formal agreement, but Is equally
binding, for two large roads doing a
transcontinental business are said to
have served an utimatum to others
that they would put the rate into eff
feet Immediately.
Following the meeting officials OF
been forced to bow to public opinion
and antirailroad legislation. They
said that no further fight would be
made on the 2-cent laws already
passed and that the roads would ac-
cept the inevitable.
Among those who are said to have
attended the secret meeting were
President B. l.. Winchell of the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific and
President A. ]. Earling Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul. Neither
would discuss the report.
Another consideration said to have
forced the informal decision to cut
the rate was the impossibility of
charging cents in one state to con-
form to the law and attempting to
charge 3 cents when the passenger
crossed the line into another state.

HARNESS TIDAL ENERGY.
Extensive Improvements Being Made
on Maine Coast.

South Thomaston, Me-, June a.
Harvesting OF the tides, by which 1t Is
hoped to save the vast amount of tidal
energy now going to waste and devote
1t to the operation of mills, quar-.
ries, factories and other establish
ments needing driving force, Is be.
ing made here. Experiments on an
extensive scale are being conducted
and it is hoped may solve the problem
which has taxed the inventive minds
of engineers all over the world. A
basin with an area of little over one
square mile is being used for the op-
erations and a twelve-foot rise in the
tide there makes it well adapted for
the work
The promoters of the experiment
plan to store the tide power in COM
pressed air apparatus and transmit II
to lime quarries and factories along
the coast by means of pipe line.
1t is estimated that at least 5000
horsepower can be generated by the
new process and the power can be
distributed from the plant through
the pipe line anywhere within radius
of twenty miles.
The great rise and fall of the tide
along the Maine coast is peculiarly
adapted for such experiments. And If
the present one proves successful it
Is probable that attempts to save the
wasted power will be made at other
points along the coast, where, In many
cases, the facilities are as good as
those hero
