II Exc was meat Tor gossip
a-plenty in Canaan that after
noon and evening. There were
rumors that ran from kitchen
to parlor, and rumors that ran from
parlor to kitchen: speculations that de-
tanned housewives In talk across front
gates. wonderings that held cooks in
converse over shadeless back fences in
spite Of the heat and canards that
brought Main street clerks running to
the shop doors to stare up and down
the sidewalks.
Out OF the confusion Of report the
judicious were able by evenfall to ex-
tract fair history of this day Of revo-
luton. There remained no doubt that
Joe Louden was in attendance at the
deathbed of Eskew Arp, and some
how II came to be known that Colonel
Flitcroft, Squire Buckalew and Peter
Bradbury had shaken hands with Joe
and declared themselves his friends
There were those, particularly among
the relatives of the hoary trio, who ex
pressed the opinion that the colonel
and his comrades were too old to be
responsible and commission ought to
sit on them. Nevertheless some echoes
of Eskew's last argument" to the con
clave had sounded in the town and
were not wholly without effect.
Everywhere there was a n!pping curl
osity to learn how Judge Pike had
taken" the strange performance of his
daughter. and the eager were much dis
appointed when 1t was truthfully re-
ported that he had done and said very
little. He had merely discharged both
Sam Warden and Sans wife from his
service, the mild manner OF the dis
missal almost unnerving Mr., Warden,
although he was fully prepared for
| bird shot, and the couple had found
immediate employment In the service
Of Ariel Tabor.

afternoon when it became known that
Eugene Bantry had resigned his posi-

ing. He had written a formal letter

| qualntances upon the street He de-
clared that he no longer sympathlzed

He sighed peacefully, his head grev
heavier on Joe's arm, and the young
man set bis hand gently upon the un.

where she knelt, but looked up at him

ROOT MUST WAIT.
Wants to Test Temper of Congress on
German Tariff.

New York, Aug. 22.-The statement
is made here that no immediate re-
suits will follow the negotiations that
Secretary Root has been conducting
with Ambassador Jusserand of
France, in the direction of placing the
latter country on the same basis as
Germany in the matter of tariff. In
formation received here, said to be
from responsible quarters, is to the
effect that Secretary Root is anxious
to have an opportunity of testing the
temper of congress as to the German
agreement before going further, and
IT is understood that France is quite
ready to grant a delay in that respect.
The proposed trip abroad of the
special tariff commission headed by
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
James B Reynolds is regarded as a
part of the programme of delay. The
other members of the commission
consist of President DeVries of the
board of United States general ap-
praisers, and Judge Waite. an active
member of the board. The commits
sion will leave about the middle of
September and will make special in
vestigation in England. France and
Germany of the conditions governing
export market value and declarations
to invoice.
1t is probable that Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds and his associates will
make a report which will have an i'm
portant bearing on the negotiations
now proceeding between the United
States and France.

Bomb Intended for King Carlos Ex-
plOdeS Prematurely.

Lisbon. Portugal. Aug. 22.-The ex-
plosion of a bomb here, which killed
two persons and fatally injured two,
brought to light plot by republican
conspirators to assassinate King Carlos
and Premier Franco and to seize the
government of Portugal. The police
say that the head of the conspiracy is
Jesse Bettencourt. a medical student.
In searching his apartments they
found letters and papers which re-
suited in the arrest of thirty republic
can leaders. They have been placed
on ships.
Bettencourt lives in the tenement
district of the city. and his rooms have
been a headquarters for republic agi-
tators and conspirators. The explosion
occurred in Bettencourt's room, and
the men killed and those injured were
conspirators against the government.
When the police rushed in they found
the room a wreck. They found docu-
ments telling of the conspiracy against
the king and premier.
Many arrests are expected as a re-
suit of the accidental explosion Those
arrested will be tried In secret. They
will be either put to death or exiled.
The revolutionary movement has beeE
growing in Portugal ever since the
king decided to rule without a parlia-
ment.

WINS Probe Brings to Light Sensation
al Financiering

New York. Aug. 22-Revelations as
to the financial methods employed by

discount of $45O.000 on subway bonds

the construction account.
The hearing was held in the city
hall. The most important witness of
the day was E. P. Bryan, president of
the Interborough company. who was
questioned by William NJ WINS. Mr..
WINS brought out the Belmont trans
action and the fact that the firm also
charged a commission of three-quar-
tiers of 1 per cent on the sale. This

the transaction Mr. WINS asked: "The

"And that s45O.oOo and that COM
mission would have to be paid by the
citv as a part of the ccst?"

OF the cost of construction"
Mr.. WINS read various figures from
the reports submitted to the old rapid
transit board. These showed a total
cost of something more than 80 mil
lion dollars for the first three months
