two games. one of which is that with

What was expected to be the banner
day of the spring meeting at Benning was
spoiled by the extremely unpleasant
weather The air was raw and damp. and
a cold wind swept the course and blew
into the faces of the spectators in the

had the weather been propitious, but de-
spite that fact, there was big gathering
on hand
The race which a large proportion OF
the crowd went TO see was the Chevy
Chase Pink Coat Steeplechase, but It
turned out to be "a farce. There were
seven horses carded on the programme
but only three answered the bugle, and
tws IF these were coupled in the betting.
There was little speculation on the race,
as Dion Kerrs two entries, Essex and
-Ardette. were considered to have the race
at their mercy. The other starter was
Clarence Moore's Ordessu. Mr.. Kerr de-
clared 70 win with Ardette on whom he

San Francisco, May S.-With Cover
nor Gillette holding the Seventh regi-
ment under arms ready to turn out at
a moments notice, If needed, to prevent q
recurrence of yesterdays violence in the
street car strike, and federal troops ready
to assume control of the situation If they
are called for, San Francisco today
awoke to a full realization of what the
strike means. One death and twenty
eight persons wounded in the rioting
has impressed on tbs authorities the
necessity for drastic measures to put
down the rioters.
The threats of Police Chief Oman to
arm his men with repeating rifles and
instruct them to shoOt into mobs if any
violence is employed toward street rail-
road employees, had the effect of keeping
the strikers and their sympathizsrs quiet
early in the day. But that further blood
shed is likely to occur at any moment
is generally admitted.
President Calhoun ofthe United Rail-
roads declared he il determined never to
yield to the strikers, and their leaders
are just ss vigorous in declaring never
to return TO work until their demands are
granted.
Chief Oman assured President Cal
houn today he will do everything 10 his
power to afford full protection to the
employees of the company 10 the attempt
the company is prepared to make to run
its cars on certain lines. Orders were
given out for the reserves to present
themselves at the station houses with re-
peating guns. II necessary, Chief Di-
nan said, be will patrol every street on
which cars are run. Mayor Schmitz has
issued a proclamation urging citizens
to avoid all danger centers. People will
be kept moving on all the streets where
there are car lines. While the men were
covered temporarily by the preparations
to punish rioting vigorously it was feared
their awe would wear of before night.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 8, 1907

AT the opening of the diocesan con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church ia Philadelphia yesterday Rev.
Edgar Cope, who preached the annual
sermon. said: ''The day has gone by
when churches can be filed by appeals
made entirely to the spiritual side Of the
people. We must better the material
condition of men and women first and
the spiritual treatment will follow SIS
matter of course" In commenting upon
this sermon the Philadelphia Record
says
We need not stop to ask whether
churches were ever filed simply by sp-
peals to the spiritual side of the people,
apart from authority-and custom, which
has almost equal power. DIR. Cope can
speak with the authority of an expert,
for he has built up church from prsc.
tically nothing to couple of thousand
communicates, and very largely In a
population of working people. But
in Justice to the churches it ought to
be noted in countries permeated with
Christian sentiment much Of the work
of material relief and betterment which,
centuries ago, had to be done by churches
and ecclesiastical foundations is now
done by the civil government.

THE IRISH BILL.

The government yesterday presented
its long-awaited Irish bill TO the House
OF Commons end the country. This bill
is designed to meet the demands for Irish
home rule. 1t was presented by the
chief secretary for Ireland, Mr. Birrell,
to a crowded house.
Compared with the home rule bills OF
1886 and 1906, the measure of yesterday
cOnlers little self-gOvernment upon Ire
land, merely giving to the council con-
troll of the eight departments now man
sged by government boards. The ceun-
Gil is to be appointed by the crowp, and
while tire lord lieutenant of Ireland is
given power to nullify its measures, the
crown retains control of five Of the eight
departments, including the constabulary.
The control Of this branch always has
been a thorn in the flesh Of the Irish
people. The following are the features OF
the bill
An administrative council Of 80 elect
ed aud p nominated members.
The elected members TO be elected on
a locsl government board franchise.
Supremacy of the Imperial Parliament
will be safeguarded by the power vested
10 the lord lieutenant to reserve his con-
sent to any resolution of the council.
An education department under con-
troll of the council
A special Irish fund of about $780,
900, 900 yearly TO be created.
For financial purposes there will be
eight departments.
The Supreme Court judicature, the
Royal Irish COnstabulary, the land COM
mission and the prison board remain IN
der control of the imperial authorities.
The Irish council will control local
government board, Agricultural Depart
ment and industrial schools.
TIE radicals are disappointed that the
measure falls 50 lar short of actual home
rule, and the Irish members are even
more disappointed with it, The Irish
leaders, however, are maintaining
diplomatic attitude until they have time
to study the provisions Of the bill and
learn the sentiment of the people.
A nationalist convention will be held
in Dublin soon to decide upon the policy
of the Irish party. The laborites will
support the measure, because they are
all home rulers.
After the bill had been presented and
explained by Mr.. Birrell it was criticised
and ridiculed by A. J. Balfour on behalf
of the opposition. John E. Redmond
then delivered brilliant speech, note
worthy principally fer its digniied and
forceful exposition of Ireland's claims
for complete home rule.
To prevent the first reading of the
bill being deferred until tomorrow. and
while Walter Hume Long WAS still
speaking, Mr.. Birrell moved the closure.
Then amid great uproar and protests,
and shouts of Gag" the closure was
carried by All votes to l2l, and the bill
passed iis-frst reading by 4l6 votes to
l2l. The House then adjourned.
