Fine Speeches Accounted For.

John Bright was once asked how It
was that Pitt made one of the finest
speeches after drinking two bottles OF
port. John Bright was as usual equal
to the occasion. He pointed out that
verbatim reporting was unknown in
those days and he suggested that the
other members of the house. on whose
opinion Pitts reputation largely de-
pended, had probably drunk three bot
ties.

A Springfield man whose wife was
away on visit became tired of bach

to return, says the Kansas City Star.

Five Drowned
Near Seattle

Seattle, Wash, June 18.-Five peo-
pie, two sisters, brother, mother and
aunt, persisted at Monohan, In the
waters of Lake Sammamish Monday.
The town of Monohan is two miles dis
tant from the lake, and is the scene of
a sawmill industry. The men of the
community were at work at the time,
and the women were helpless.
The dead:Antone Myer, ID years old;
Lizzie and Ida Myer, sisters; Mrs.
Myer, mother; Mrs. John Hertor, sister
of Mrs. Myer. Antoine had gone in
swimming and got into the undertow.
Lizzie plunged in to save him but got
out of her depth; Ida next attempted to
rescue them but suffered a similar fate.
Mrs. Myer was the next to sacrifice
herself, and Mrs. Hertor, undaunted,
made an effort that proved fatal. The
bodies of the four women were re-
covered.

MRS. WONG YuE CHINESE.
Sister of Mrs. Howard Gould Gives
Up All Rights.

Mrs. Wong Sun Yue of San Fran
cisco, sister of Mrs. Howard Gould, is
no longer an American citizen.
She voluntarily relinquished her
rights as a native born Californian
recently to become as much as posi-
Bile an all-around Chinese, like her
husband. The records of the local
Chinese bureau are lacking in cases
similar to that of Mrs. Wong Sun Yue.
She will be subject to the laws Of
China when she chooses to visit that
country and when she comes home she
will be subject to the regulations Of
the immigration and restriction laws.
Mrs. Yue, who renounces her citizen
ship to become a Chinese merchant,

Gives China
$4,000

Sir Chentung Liang Cheng. Chinese
ambassador, who is in Boston a on
visit, has made the following state
ment:
81 shall make public the contents of
an official note which l received from
Secretary. Root, which shows better
than anything else can the remarkably
high sense of justice which the United
States has used in all the dealing with
China. You remember that after the
Boxer troubles China agreed to pay an
indemnity of 1874 400, 778 81 on ac-
count of the losses suffered by the
United States government. as we'll as
for personal property lost by her citi-
zens during the Boxer campaign. Four
years ago your government was good
enouh to promise me that when the
time arrived, as a token of sincere
friendship for China, the original fig
ure of the indemnity would be revised.
True to the promise of the executive
officers, / received a note from Score
tatry Root last Saturday, saying that
the president directed him to say in
his next message that he would be
pleased to recommend that China be re
lieved of all obligation in excess of the
final revised accounts of the indemnity,
which had been set at $l1 $50, 492. SO.
That, as you can see, will save China
over 81 900, 900 and also an in crest
of 4 per cent.
"You can not emphasize too strongly
my great admiration for the fair spirit
which has always characterized the
dealings of the United States with my
country. This final action is another
monument to Americas high sense of
justice and | feel called upon to say,
not because l am the retiring ambasss-
dor, that personally, feel that Amer
lea is one of China's strongest friends. 4"

ScHMITz MAY GET BAIL.
Mayor Has Wide Discretion After
June 81.

A radical change in the executive
branch of San Franchises government
Is contingent on developments in the
case of Mayor Schmitz, who is tenn
porarily incapacitated by reason of his
imprisonment in the county Jail.
The date for the passing of sentence
on Mayor Schmitz in the extortion
cases, on which he has been convicted,
has been set for June 81. Prior to
that date he can not possibly procure
ball. according to the decision of Judge
Dunno yesterday, but the law provides
that after the judgment has been
passed. the matter of allowing bail is
discretionary with any magistrate hav-
ing jurisdiction. Consequently, if judg-
ment is passed on the date set, Mayor
Schmitz will have ground for a, new
application for bail, and his request
may run the gauntlet, not only OF the
IL judges of the superior court, but
of the appellate justices and justices
OF the police courts as we'll Whether
Mayor Schmitz will ask for sentence
on June q or ask for a continuance
has not been stated by his attorneys.
This has made it impossible for the
prosecution to plan its action in this
regard.

BOB" IN MIMIC WAR
stumbles With BattIeships Into Mimic
Game of Warfare.

The battleships Connecticut and Al
ahama, in command of Rear Admiral
R. d. Evans, were totally destroyed"
while passing through the narrows on
their way from the jamestown eXposi-
ton to the New York navy yard Adj
miral Evans, who evidently had not
been appraised of the war game which
has been going on at the narrows for
a week past, was much amused
man at the sudden roar of the guns.
He rushed to the bridge of the Con-
necticut and gazed at one of the forts
and then at the other. One of his of
ficers enlightened him about the sham
"war" between the forts named by
regular coast artillerymen and national
guardsmen and small boats manned
by regulars representing a hostile
fleet, the purpose of which was to
test the alertness of the guardians of
the sea approach to New York city.
The officers at Forts Hamilton and
Wadsworth learned from Fort Hancock
at Sandy Hook that two real battle
ships were passing in the hook. 1t
was jokingly decided to destroy"
them, and the forts ''gunners" turned
out accordingly. The fog was dense,
ard the Alabama got within 1000 yards
of Fort Wadsworth before being seen.
The Connecticut was about 500 yards
astern as the two mortars were fired
at the two battleships. Presently it
was announced at the forts that the
battleships had been sunk. Neverthe-
less the IL and 6 inch guns were
used and the result was double destruc-
ton. Hastily the suggestions mines
in the narrows were exploded and for
the third time the Connecticut and Ala
bama we're annihilated The war game
is now ended and New York was
saved from capture"

Hartman is Out.

The agreement between the Harri-
man interests and the Rock Island
company entered into in 1904 for the
control of the Chicago & Alton rail-
road, has been abrogated by mutual
consent, according to an authoritative
announcement made recently In the
future, it was state, the Chicago &
Alton stockholders will manage the
property. Under the agreement which
has just been abrogated the Rock
Island company and the Hartman in
terests alternately controlled the Chi
cago & Alton, the Rock Island com
pany being in control one year and
the Hartman interests the next. The
plan would have expired in 1914.
The termination of this plan is said
to be without prejudice to either
party. The Chicago & Alton officials
explained that it was simply an in
stance of letting stockholders manage
their own affairs. It was felt that this
policy would best subserve the in
terests of the stockholders. There is
to be no change, according to the Chi
cago & Alton officials, in the policy
of the road, which has been managed
by the Rock Island under the joint con
troll agreement since last September.

Steel Mills Close.

The receivers of the Milliken Bros.
corporation, which failed recently
have decided to close the steel mill of
the s7,5OO.OOO plant on Staten island
and have, in accordance with this de-
termination, discharged 1900 steel
workers. About 1000 persons are de
pendent upon the earnings of the dis
charged men and as the reopening OF
the mill is problematical, most of the
workers and their families will go to
other steel centers to secure employ
ment.
The reason behind the receivers &C
ton in closing the mill was said to be
their discovery that they could buy
steel in the open market cheaper than
they could manufacture it.
