GOVERNMENT QUITS TRIAL
AGAINST AILR0ADS.
Chicago G Alton Railroad Was
Charged With Receiving Rebates
From Standard Oil company-Judge
Lands Orders Grand Jury 60 In
vestigate Entire Matter.

1t is said in federal court circles of
Chicago that the Chicago & Alton will
receive the expected immunity
bath" According to this information
the investigator of rebate charges in
connection with the Standard Oil case
will be dropped.
In spite of the demand of Judge
Lands for a grand jury inquiry into
the acts of the Alton. it is believed
that the grand jury will be discharged
without making the investigation.
The full effect of the immunity
bath will be the dissipation of all
the evidence which the department of
justice has been gathering against the
principal railroads of the west and
south which are charged with having
given rebates to the Standard Oil
company.

Demands Of Operators Have Been In
creased, It is Now Announced.
Chicago, Sept. 3.-Plans to end the
telegraph strike were announced at
a recent meeting of the telegraphers
union A committee Of As delegates
from all sections of the country will
meet in New York September 9 to be
in readiness if the companies evince
willingness to settle. 1t was also an
nounced at the meeting that the
operators had increased their de-
mands from 10 per cent increase in
wages to % per cent.
There is little change in the tele-
graph situation in New York City.
Both sides continue firm, and profess
complete satisfaction with the prog
ress of the strike. The strikers claim
a few accessions to their ranks from
the nonunionists, while the telegraph
companies say a small number of old
men have returned to them, and that
all the business of the day is being
handled. The contest seems to have
settled down to one of endurance.

LATEST POLITICAL RUMoR

Roosevelt and Bryan Are the Leaders
in Their Respective Camps.
It is a well settled fact that 1908
will be a bad year for the reaction
aries in either party. 1t is undeniable
that this element is striving to COM
pei the republican party in its next
platform to recede from the advanced
position which has been occupied by
President Roosevelt. Democrats OF
the same stripe are anxious to over
turn the policies of Mr.. Bryan, and
it seems to- be a foregone conclusion
that both attempts will fail.
The democrats of the nation, ac-
cording to discerning men at Wash
ington, are not in sympathy with those
who would control the party as it
was controlled in 1904, and it would
be as easy to renominate Alton B.
Parker almost as to nominate any
democratic candidate who would be
suspected of recession from the Bryan
program. Hence it will be necessary
only for the radicals of the party to
say, for instance, Roger Sullivan of
Illinois supports this man; August
Belmont or Thomas Ryan of New
York support that man. to defeat
other candidates for the presidential
nomination.
Mr.. Bryan is master of the demo-
cratic situation, purely by force of his
championship of the interest of the
masses The same causes operate to
make Mr.. Roosevelt the controller Of
republican destines. The people sus-
pect any man who antagonizes him,
and so far as present indications go,
it will be necessary only for him to
evince his pleasure to defeat a candi-
date not to his liking.
Vice President Fairbanks boom is
a dead one; Joe Cannon cannot knock
the persimmons. The unknown guam
titles in the republican party are La
Toilette of Wisconsin and Hughes OF
New York. Foraker is a forgotten
quantity, and Taft. although backed
} by the president, has a divided state
, back of him. Mr.. Roosevelt can have
, the nomination for the asking. When
the process of elimination has been
: carried to its logical conclusion, two
men remain-President Roosevelt and
William J.. Bryan, and these men hold
within their hands the power to die
tate results.
Back of all anti-conveitno specula-
ton, however, is the crushing fact
that the cost of living is advancing
! and that will be the dominating, ele-
: ment in determining results in 1908
As though prices were not already
high enough, the country is now told
that the enforcement of the prue food
law will still further advance prices
and there is nothing in sight to afford
relief except the indefnable hope that
the radicals or one or other of the
two great parties will inauguratC
measures to crush out the trusts.

PRINCE CAN ONLY GASP
Amazed by the Crowd at coney, and

New York.-Prince Wilhelm of Swe-
den says he is no different from any
ordinary country individual who comes
TO the metropolis to see the sights.
He liked Coney island so well on his
visit that he paid a return visit On
his visit earlier in the week the prince
was assured that a Saturday night
crowd would far exceed the throng he
then saw. Wilhelm was skeptical, but
he learned his error tonight. He was
fairly carried on his feet by the enor-
nous crowd.
He did not mind the throngs regard
ing him as the show. The prince, how
ever, had to hurry back to keep a late
dinner engagement. His highness
spent another busy day. He visited
the North German Lloyd lines, Hobo
ken docks, and went through the giant
liner Kaiser Wilhelm II. Then he au-
tomobiled along the Jersey shore to
Fort Lee, lunched at the Claremont
as a guest of the Swedish consul, and
visited Grants tomb, where he left a
magnificent wreath. Later he visited
the Swedish orphan asylum in Brook
Ign. He had only words of praise for
everything. The skyscrapers, women
Arr erican warships, Coney island, rail
roads, entertainments, all came in tol

PRINCES SHIP is ROBBED.
Souvenir Hunters Take Away Many
Fine Relics.


Prince wilhelm of Sweden put in

Sunday was reception day aboard
the cruiser, and following the custom
established when the Duke of Ahruzza,
Italian, visited New York, it seemed
that every visitor wanted to carry
away a souvenir. Glasses, dishes.
sailors caps and officers sword scab-
bards-in fact, practically everything
lying loose was taken. One enthusiast
tic hunter even carried away the
breechblock latch of the big gun in the
forward latch.
1t is estimated that 10000 people
visited the cruiser and while the
chief engineer believes his engines
are still intact, the weight of articles
taken by relic hunters was almost
enough to make a change in the re
gistered displacement of the ship.

MANSFIELD IS DEAD.
GREAT ACTOR DIES AT HIS
SUMMER HOME.
Most Successful Roles Include Shy
lock, cyano de Bergerac, Henry ",
Brutus, Beau Brummel, Or. Jekyll
and MIR. Hyde-Home Life Ideal
Funeral Last Monday.

New London, Conn.-Richard Mans
field, the actor, died recently at his
summer residence, Seven Oaks.
Richard Mansfield has for several
years been recognized as one of the
leading actors on the American stage,
making speciality of Shakespeare, al
though appearing at times in lighter
dramas and comedies. He has sew
eral times visited the Pacific coast
and intended another trip during the
coming season. He has been in poor
health for several months and his de-
mike was not unexpected.
Richard Mansfield was born on the
island of Helgoland, May "a, 1857. He
was the son of Madame Rudersdorff
(Mansfield), the noted singer. He
was educated chiefly in Germany and
England and when about II years of
age came to Boston, Mass, where he
worked as a clerk in a drygoods store
and studied painting for short time.
In 1875 he returned to England and
after several years of hard privation
engaged at length, with some success,
in comic opera. His first appearance
on the American stage was in 1882
in New York. In January, 1883, he
won a striking success as Baron
Chevrial in "a Partisan Romance" al
the Union Square theater. This was
followed by a number of modern and
classic roles which within 10 years
gained him a leading place among
American actors.
Among the plays in which Mr.. Mans
field has appeared are: 'Dr. Jekyl
and Mr.. Hyde" Richard Ill.," pro
duced in London in 1899; "Beau Brum
NELL" 1.-The Scarlet Letter" "Shy
lock-" arms and the Man" "The
Devils Discipline" "Cyrano de Der
gerac," Henry "" Monsieur Beau
t,sfre' and as Brutus in "Julius
Caesar"
Deep study and careful elaboration
of detail characterized Mansfeld''
work, both in comedy and tragedy. II
1892 Mansfield married Beatrice
Cameron.
