BONAPARTE'S
OFFENSE
AttOrney-General Denies the
Wall Street Charge That
He Is Not Serious.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 1~7.-Attorney-
General Bonaparte has made a reply
to the charge of Wal Street that he
has been treating the great industrial
and financial enterprises of the country
with %fiippancy. In part he says:
Il cannot understand how any sensi-
BILE person could be affected in dealing
with matters of business by any re-
marks which have been attributed to
me. 1 should say that business men
ought to wish to have the laws strictly
and impartially enforced. If this is
done. everybody knows what he can
do and what he cannot, and everybody
has a fair field and no favor. The De-
partment of Justice proposes to do
precisely this and nothing more. 1t
is required by law to enforce certain
penal statutes which make certain
forms of action crimes against the
United States, and also provide civil
remedies for such illegal action. The
department, since 1 have been at its
head. has never taken proceedings to
enforce the laws without a very care

OUR NAVY SECOND
AN AUTHORITY PLACED 1T
NEXT TO ENGLAND.
In Ships with High Powered Guns Ours
Is Superior to Any Navy in World,
Says F. T. Jane.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE tenth
annual issue of F. T. James Fighting
Ships of 1907 which is one of the

the world, and which has just been
published in London, puts the United
States second among the ava powers
of the world, with England first.
Speaking of the United States Navy,
Mr.. Jane in his preface, says:
"The extraordinary high figures for
United States ships afford Food for
considerable thought, for both in ships
with high powered guns or i%mpervious
to vital injury at long ange, the Uni
ted States fleet is superior to any other
navy in the world. Even by the inclu-
sion of 40-calibre 12-inch types, ex-
tinct so far as new ships are concerned,
the United States is an extremely good
second. and the corresponding lead in
invulnerability outside 1000 yards is
considerably increased"
Fer the first time the navies of Mexico
and Peru are included in the book this
year. Mexico has eight vessels in COM
mission and two small cruisers and
eight t~orpedoboats authorized. The
Peruvian Navy consists of two small
cruisers and several gunboats.

One of the features of the life of the
business men who have their summer
homes along the New Jersey coast is
the daily trips from the various resorts
along the coast to this city in the
morning and back again in the after
noon from the city. The trip on the
train affords an opportunity for meet
ings and association that are similar
to those of a social club n affords
an opportunity for discussing business
affairs and other matters that come
up from time to time.
There are thousands of Newarkers
who have summer residences at some
one of the places in the string of re-
sorts that line the coast, and most OF
the men who come to this city from
them are very regular in their hours.
This may be due to the fact that the
trains travel on regular schedules, but
it is also a trait that comes from bust
ness training.
While the hours spent in the city are
devoted exclusively to business, little ad-
dendums to the working hours can pc
made by utilizing the hour spent on the
train In the afternoon. Frequently busi-
ness men are unable to conclude some ne
gotiation during the day and they nave
lit DdIlH Will Mllblii ivy ~
dealing jump aboard the train and during
the trip conclude the deal under considera-
ton.
Generally. however. the trip is a time
for relaxation and If one does not wish
to read In the cars, or Is not inclined TO
do much talking. he can generally lind a
few. associates who are willing to join him
In a little game of hearts. euchre or whist.
Realizing the importance of shore travel,
the traffic managers of the Central Rail-
road several years ago put on a seashore
| special from this city in the afternoons
and back in the mornings Newarkers, on
the regular trains to the shore, have to
change cars at Elizabethport. This was
a disadvantage to the company so 1t pro-
vided the accommodation of a train that
would go through.
During the summer the passengers and
the various elnbers of the crew, of
course, become more or less well ac-
quainted, and an especial friendly rela-
tionship exists between the travellers on
the Central's special and the crew of the
train.
Among the passengers from this city
are:
william Greathead, clerk of the Board
of Works; II. De Richmond, Flavel w.
Sullivan, clerk of the fire department; DIR.
J. Hopkins, George Schwartz, Edward
Rothschild, George Stengel, Charles
James f. Connolly, Frank Coult. Isaac

M'KEE WILL
NOT FORGIVE
HUSBAND
Infanta EuIalie Fails to
Bring Pittsburg Pair To-
gether in Paris.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE Princess Eu-
lalie has failed utterly in her efforts
to reconcile Hart Mckee and his wife.
widow of Hugh Tevis. Mrs. Mckee
has been in Paris for several days in
consultation with Frederic Coudert,
the American lawyer, preparing for
her coming divorce action. The failure
of the Infanta's good offices as an in
termediary was due to the intense
anger stirred up in Mrs. McKee's
breast against her husband. There
will be, 1t is said, no correspondent
named in her suit. the complaint rest
ing entirely on charges as to his no.
torious manner of living. his alleged
cruelty, drinking and extravaganza
with his wife's funds.
Mrs. Mckee has the sympathy of
many Americans in Paris. She looks
still quite girlish, and has lost none
of her simplicity and beauty. She is
considered quite unlike the average
woman of social ambition who has
lived through so much experience. Her
friends say young Mckee acts like one
not in complete control of himself.
The unhappiness began soon after the
marriage. Her friends say she was de-
ceived as to the Pittsburger's previous
life and disposition, and would not
have become his wife had she been
fully informed.
Americans are confronted by great
difficulties in procuring divorce in
France, though the courts here dis
solve the tie freely enough for native
subjects. The tribunals are reluctant
to interfere in the case of foreigners
requiring far more stringent proofs and
being also swayed by diplomatic con-
s%iderations when prominent foreigners
are involved. Mckee has employed
Maitre Laborei, one of the greatest
fighting lawyers in France. and intends
to defend his wife's suit strenuously.

This is a decided novelty in the coal re-

the time it will save the superintendent,
who are now compelled to wait for trains
or drive in carriages, will be worth the
investment.

Of a shed In the yard In the rear, which

that finished him.
While a servant at Clare's was feeding
the bear he chased her screaming into the
house. The bulldog was resting quietly in
the front of the saloon, and when he heard
the screams he ran into the hall and met
the bear.
There was a lively fight for a while, but
the dog proved to be the master of the
bear. Teddy was bitten so severely that
he had to be shot.
