in OPEN REVOLT.
Wine Growing Population in
South of France
Refuse to Pay Taxes Under EX-
listing Conditions.
HALFMILLION OFTHEM
Take an Oath to Stand To-
gether in the Fight.
Government Confronted With a
Condition of Anarchy.

Paris. June 10.-The revolt of the
wine growing population in the south
of France, which goes into effect to-
day, is causing considerable apprehen-
sion in government circles.
By the terms of the resolutions.
which half a million people at Mont
pellfer yesterday swore with uplifted
hands to execute. the departmental,
city, town and communal officials must
resign today and the inhabitants re-
fuse to pay taxes unless parliament
affords relief. Several mayors headed
by NJ. Farroul. mayor of Narbonne, re-
signed last night. and if this example
Is followed a condition bordering on
anarchy will result and the civil gov
ernment will cease to reign from the
Spanish frontier to the Rhone, COM
pr1sing the departments of Hercalt,
Aude. Naute-Garonne and Pyrenees-
Qrientales. The situation is all the
more grave because it constitutes
ton and being unaccompanied by dis
order. furnishes the government with
no pretext to resort to force.
Marcellin Albert. the leader of the
movement, was until a couple of
months ago an obscure wine grower
of Argeliers. Now he is acclaimed as
a "redeemer" and seems to hold the
south of France in the hollow of his
AldIlO Ills OIQSTS are lIUpIiCllly anu
unquestioningly obeyed, and by the
powers of organization with which he
is endowed he has proved himself to
be a born leader of men. 1t is realized
among the hot blooded people of the
south that such a man might fire a
formidable revolution.
The governments bill providing for
the suppression of the manufacture of
fraudulent wine comes up in the
chamber of deputies this afternoon,
but beyond passing this bill the gov
ernment can do little although the ex-
perts who have investigated the con-
ditions have found that the real de-
preston was caused by overproduction
for which even the rigorous suppress
sion of fraud will be no remedy. The
only solution they report is the aban-
donmen of much of the wine acreage
in favor of regular farm crops and
truck gardening
The outlook has caused much agita-
ton in the press. The Aurore says 1t
thinks the government should treat
the impoverished wine growers as If
they had been overtaken by a catas-
trophe and distribute money for their
relief.
''It would cost several millions" the
paper ds, but if it would restore
tranr--illity why hesitate"
The Echo de Paris says the govern
ment undoubtedly has the right to ar
rest M Albert, the leader of the move
ment but it breads the consequence
of such action. The paper further as
serts that the government "can not
yield to the antirepublican, illegal and
antipatriotic challenges.

HE CARRIES A GUN.
People Say They Saw One on President
Roosevelt.

Washington, June 1o.-People who
were present ct the laying of the Ma
sonic temple corner stone Saturday af-
ternoon say that they have the evidence
of their eyes that President Roosevelt
carried a revolver. AS the grand mas
ter workman tied the Masonic apron
around the presidents waist he drew
back the tails of Mr.. Roosevelt's coat
He fumbled slightly having apparently
encountered some obstruction. Then he
drew the coat tails back further to
loosen the strings and the cause of the
obstruction became apparent. 1t was
the butt of a big revolver resting in the
presidents right hip pocket.
Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota once
unintentionally exchanged overcoars
with President Roosevelt. The governor
discovered his error through finding

of fun put the coat on. She found re-

AGREEMENT IS REACHED
Gavitt & Gavitt Suit Against DibbIe
Co. Is Settled

The suit of Gavitt & Gavitt against
the Dibble Mercantile and Chemical
company for damages aggregating
$1,000 has been dismissed, the par
ties to it having arrived at an agree
ment through their attorneys.
1t was alleged in the petition in
this suit that Miss Dora Kerle who
was in the employ of the Gavitts at
one time had copied some four
thousand names from a list of ten
thousand in the possession of the
Gavitts and which they use in con-
nection with the sale of the medi-
cines manufactured by them, and had
turned this list of four thousand
names over to the Dibble company
by whom she is now employed.
A temporary restraining order was
issued by Judge Dana of the District
court prohibiting the use of these
names in the dispute by the Dibbles
pending the cultivation of the suit.
The question as to whether on no:
this temporary restraining orde;
should be mad a permanent injunc-
ton was set for a hearing befor4

to testify in this proceeding and Miss
Kerle was the first one put on the
stand. She was asked but few ques-
tions when the proceedings were in
terrupted with a suggestion that the
attorneys on both sides would like to
confer. This privilege was granted
them by the judge and after holding
a series of conferences extending over
an hours time, they announced to the
court that an agreement had been
reached and the injunction proceed
ings were discontinued and the orig
inal suit dismissed, a formal Judgment
being entered on the court records.

HOT WEATHER AN ALLY.
Striking Longshoremen Look for Aid
in High Temperature.

New York. June 10-Patrick Conners,
the president of the Longshoremen's
Union, whose members have been on
strike for several weeks for increased
wages, declares there has been no weak
ening in the ranks of the men and
that they are prepared, if necessary, to
stay out all summer. A surprising fea-
ture of the strike has been the f1rmness
of the men in standing together in the
face of the fact that the steamship
companies have succeeded in getting
many nonunion men to go to work who
are moving freight in fairly good
shape. 1t had been. believed that the
longshoremen, from dire necessity
would be forced to abandon their
strike, but thus far the men have re-
mained firm.
The strike leaders think that hot
weather will take the heart out of the
nonunion men, so that their side will
have some prospect of success.
''Give US three or four days of scorch-
ing hot weather. said President Con-
ners at meeting of the strikers Sun
day, 'and the steamship companies will
beg US to go back to work.

TROOPS GUARD A TOWN.
Its Destruction by Incendiary Fire Is
Feared.

Parker, Col, June 1O.-Fearing an
attempt to burn the saloon of L. F.
Lambert, which probably would result
in the destruction of the entire town,
Parker is under guard night and day.
A squad of soldiers from Fort Logan
is patrolling the main street and out
skirts and the townspeople are in a
state of terror.
Lambert short-changed a soldier
Friday, it is alleged, and when the
latter protested, emptied his revolver
into squad of twenty, injuring two so
badly that their lives were despaired
of for time. He escaped after the
shooting and friends of the wounded
men have vowed they will get ven
geance by burning the building.
Yesterday an ineffectual attempt
was made to fire the place. This
alarmed the people of the town and as
result of their request for protection
troops were dispatched from Fort Lo-
gan.
Intense feeling prevails against
Lambert. He has not been appre-
hended. although the sheriff's deputies
have trailed him to Denver

STANDS BY AoKI.
Mr.. Takahashi Denies That His Resig-
nation Is Desired.

Seattle. Wash, June 1O.-Charles 7.
Takahashi, vice president of the Oriers-
tai Trading company of this city, who
went to Washington as the representa-
tive of the Japanese on, the Pacific coast
to confer with Ambassador Aolxi on the
proposed mutual exclusion treaty, said
regarding the dispatch from Washing
ton reporting the alleged conspiracy to
overthrow the present administration of
Japan.
THE writer of the Washington dis
patch begins with an amusing political
blunder and ends with falsehood. He
seems to have interpreted suggestion
as a complaint. The progressives in
Japan and the Japanese of the Pacific
Northwest having nothing in common.
The Progressive party is badly demoral-
lied. It's leader Count Okuma, recently
resigned the leadership. The party is
practically without leader.
1T is untrue that Yamaoka went to
Japan to confer with the antiadminis-
tration leaders, nor is he the personal
representative of Okuma on this coast.
He has always fought Okuma's party
and supported Premier Saionji. He was
the editor of Saionjfs personal organ.
"An alliance between the Progressives
and the japanese of the Pacific North
west is impossible. The latter are in
sympathy with the present adminiStra-
tion in Japan and wish Viscount Aoki
continued as amba assador to the United
States We feel that he is the best in
formed man on the japanese question
in the United States who is now in the
service of our government. Personally.
feel that it would be a severe blow
to our interests to have Viscount Aod
recalled.
I'm conclusion, want to make
clear the following facts, in refutation
of the story of conspiracy contained in
the Washington dispatch: First, there
is no conspiracy; second, there could
not possibly be an alliance between
the japanese of the Pacific northwest
and the Progressive party in Japan.
for the reason that our sympathies and
support in the west have always been
with the present Liberal party. which
is composed of the old constitutional
and government parties, and which
former premier. the man who carried
the country safely through the war
with Russia, and the Marquis Ito:
third. Mr.. Yamaoka does not repre-
sent the Count Okuma and never had
any affiliation with his party; fourth,
the Japanese of the Pacific northwest
are not opposed to Ambassador Aokf,
nor have they accused him of treach-
cry to Japanese interests. They be-
lieye hi INTO be the man best equipped
to handle the situation; fifth, there is
no disposition on our part to demand
either apology or indemnity for what
ever happened to our people in san
Francisco; sixth. we will continue to
encourage trade relations between the
two countries, believing that the best
interests of both demand a continuance
of such relations; seventh, we are not
and at no time so expressed ourselves
dissatisfied with the attitude of the
state department in this matter"

IRON EXPORTS DROP. /.
The Imports of Raw Material Break
All Previous Records.

New York, June 10.-While the ex-
ports of finished iron and steel last
month were the smallest for any one
month in the last decade. the imports
of raw material were the largest in
any thirty days in the history of the
trade.
The May arrivals at New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore reached a
total of nearly 100000 tons.
The American demand for pig is so
unprecedented that the stocks of the
material in British warehouses are
smaller than they have ever been
before.

GAME OF POLITICS.
Progressives Hope to Ride Into Power
on San Francisco Incident.

Washington. June 10.-That the
Japanese of the Pacific coast and the
Progressives, political party of Japan,
have entered into an alliance which
has the earmarks of an international
conspiracy to overthrow the present
ministry in Japan and annul the clause
in the immigration bill excluding Jap
anese coolie labor. is learned authori-
tatively here.
The preliminary steps in this
sch heme, it is said. will be to induce the
Toxic government to recall Viscount
Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to the
United States and to demand an
apology and perhaps an indemnity
from this government for the alleged
acts of violence against Japanese sub
jects in San Francisco.

a WONDERFUL CLOCK.

Gladstone. Mich, Cor n. Y WorId)
Possibly the most elaborate clock in
the state, probably the most unique IS
that which John Novack, a jeweler of
Escanaba, has installed in his home
across the bay from this city at a cost
of approximately Sl,000. IT is a massive
affair. eight feet ten inches in height and
Weighing nearly as much as a piano.
The framework and all the working parts
were made from special orders, and ON
delivery were assembled by the owner OF
the clock.
BY an arrangement of silver tubes
ranging from four to seven feet I'm
length and installed in the interior OF
the timepiece the Westminster and Wet
tingtOn chimes are struck every quarter
hour by hammers resembling those of
piano. Each hour also is marked by
the playing Of the chimes and is fol-
lowed by the requisite number of strokes
given on a large tube eight teen I'm
length and toned one note lower than
the final note of the chime The chimes
have striking resemblance to those Of d
church in the distance, the tones being
graduated to produce that effect.
The dial of the clock is a beautifully
executed plate of pieced gold and sill
yer work. with the hours marked on q
raised silver plate. Above the dial Is
plate which records accurately the diff
ferent phases of the mOOn- The frame is
of quarteTed oak. handsomely carved by
hand, and the whole has been given
solid wax finish.
The orders for the different parts of
the clock were placed by Mr. NOvack
over d year ago.

rebuild in Elephanta the temple of
Jehovah as it once stood.
In return for this boon they will
offer up sacrifices to Jehovah on the
new altar in his name, and until it
is built all the Israelitish men, women
and children of the island will never
cease praying for Bagohi." Further
more. they give him to understand that
he will reap more substantial benefits in
a sum of 1000 talents Of silver in
the offerings, without count of the gold
concerning which he has already been
informed. And, in conclusion, they
mention that they have written also to
Delayah and Chelamayah, son of San
ballat, governor of Samaria, but that
the Satrap Arsam, recalled by Darius,
knows not Of the matter. From other
papyTus and fra gments not yet pub
lished it is seen that, thanks to the
intervention of Bagohi and Delayah, the
permission was granted and the temple
of Jerusalem rebuilt
The inestimable value of these new
discoveries lies in their confederation
of the Biblical story, and. besides the
names of Jehohanan and SanbaIlat
mentioned in the Old Testament, the
governor Bagohi is TO be found in the
historian Flavius Josephus, in the
Greek FORM OF BdgOaS. PrOT. ClermOnt
Ganneau, who gives the above details,
has especial reason to be congratulated
on this discovery, although not actual
ly made by himself, since it seems to
place beyond all doubt the correctness
of the belief that the old temple of
Jehovah was on the Island of Ele-
phanta-a belief that he was almost
alone for long time in holding against
the majority. who located it at Syene,
on the opposite shores of the Nile. At
present he is in charge of a French
mission subventiOned by the academy,
by the ministry and also by NJ. Edmond
ROthschild, which is excavating on the
island side by side with the German
explorers, and the keenest rivalry
naturally exists between the two
groups, who are working literally
shoulder to shoulder within a few yards
of each other each, however, with a
radius exactly defined and marked out
by wire fences.
