The senli-hnal is to be played Friday and the winner of 1t, by reason of Miles default, was to be declared champion.
 Jay Gould, the American player who has reached the semi-hnal stage in an interview to-day expressed considera- ble annoyance at this sudden change in Miles plans, He said he came here X- pressly to meet Miles, but as the cham pion declined to play he accepted Che situation and arranged to leave Eng

NEW PEST
For Apple Trees Appears in This
 State

For Apple Trees Appears in This State.
 A bulletin just issued from the agri- cultural experiment station at Storrs, this state, says:
 A small insect known as the apple leaf-miner appeared in unusually large numbers during the past season. All 1 though the insect has been known for about a century and has become well distributed over the eastern part of the United States and Canada, 1t has never been regarded as a serious pest until last year, when it was reported as do- | ing serious injury in Vermont
 This year many partially defoliated trees have been observed as a result of this pest
 The insect makes mine in the leaf, which appears on the upper surface as a large broWnish patch. If many mines occur on the leaf it will roll up and it's l functions cease.
 TWO BROODS A SEASON. | Two broods occur in a season. The second is the more serious. The insect spends the winter as caterpillar with in the mine.
 Certain parasites are doing efficient work in controlling this pest, Unfavor- able weather conditions also contribute to it's destruction.
 As the insect feeds internally it can- not be reached by insecticides. The only means at our disposal is to gather up and destroy the infested leaves, or blow them under, The latter operation la recommended, for the reason that many other injurious species would be destroyed at the same time

St. Louis April 2S.-The Central Trades and Labor union of St. Louis to-day refused to endorse a resolution by the Pattern Makers organization attacking President Roosevelt for his terming as undesirable citizens Mover and Haywood, officers of the Western Federation of Miners Members of the central labor body declared: No mat ter what we may think of Mir Roosa- welt, we must, as good citizens respect the office of the chief magistrate of our republic"
 New York April 2S.-The Central Federated union to-day instead of unanimously condemning President Roosevelt for his action in the Mover Haywood natter stood about evenly divided on the question which has stir red labor unions all over the country.
 MT. Roosevelt's record as to his atti- tude toward labor, from the time he was a New York assemblyman until he became president, was brought into the light.
 The discussion, which lasted for more than three hours, was the most bitter one ever heard in the Uniyersi- ty settlement building, where the meet ing was held The upshot was that the meeting, representing more than 100000 workers in Manhattan, ordered that the committee of three appointed at last Sundays meeting, go to Washington and have a talk on the situation with President Roosevelt

NO STATE POLICE.
Sunday Closing Law Left to New Hn-
 ven Force Yesterday.

The state police made no visit to New Haven yesterday as far as the New Haven police department has been able to discover. The fact that certain Grand avenue saloons were revealed to Chief Wrinn as failing to shut up shop on Sunday and the added fact that this had been the case for several success sive Sundays led some speculative per sons to believe that the state constabu- lary was coming down to show the New Haven force just how the Sunday clos ing law should be enforced Up in Hartford the other Sunday the state police lead a raid that was worth about $8 900 to the city treasury.
 Evidently New Haven has been left to close it's own saloons,
 That drunkenness is not on the de- cline in New Haven is attested by the fact that twenty-three drunks were ar rested late Saturday night and early yesterday morning,

 Disputes.

Pittsburg, April 29.-May day in Pittsburg and vicinity is expected to pass off with less laber disputes than in previous years.
