IN BRITISH WATERS.
AMERICAN EMPHASIZES RE. cEIVE ROYAL WELCOME IN
 AUSTRALIAN HARBoR.
MADE \ BEAUTIFUL DIsPDAY 1T SIDNEY
Half a Million People Assemble to Witness the Arrival of the Visitors Great Display of American and British Flsgs-Waters Dotted With craft-OfficIal Visits Exchanged.

Sydney, N. s. w, Aug. 21.-Early Thursday morning thin veil or smoke on the horizon signalled to the watchers on the coast the approach of the American warships and at 5;3o official notification was sent out that the fleet had been sighted. It was yet 20 miles outside of Sydney harbor, but this word, which had been awaited eagerly by tens of thousands, stirred Australians like call to arms and almost instantly those who had not left the city to take up points of want age along the bays were moving in droves to line the quays, roof tops and other places on the harbor front, to watch the coming of the guardships from the new world. The day broke bright and clear and so intense was the interest in the American ships of war that half the populace remained awake the entire night and thousands upon thousands of them long before the night was over were on their way to the hill tops outside of the city limits, where they congregated seem. ingly in unbroken lines along the coast from Bondi Beach to Manly.
 It is estimated that hardly less than 500,000 people assembled to give the visitors a royal welcome. Sydney harbor, with it's innumerable bays and coves, never looked more beautiful nor did the American sailors ever wit ness more inspiring sight than that which met their eyes as the white ships came through the channel past the great headlands into Port Jackson.
 A hundred thousand people. the greatest single assemblage of all gathered on the south heads where a magnificent view of the whole scene was to be had Hundreds of craft of all kinds moved up and down even al that early hour. All the waters, with the exception of the Fairway and the anchorages, being dotted with little and big vessels decorated in every conceivable manner with flags and bunting.
 In perfect alignment, the flagship Connecticut leading, with Rear Ad- miral Sperry on the bridge, the war ships came out of the horizon, first little smoke showing and then the hulls. low down in the distance,
 Passing in through the Sydney heads in double column, at intervals of 400 yards, the ships looked to have world of speed and power under their glistening sides. The fleet was attended by convoy steamers and was greeted with a roar of salutes from the forts as it steamed slowly along. The thousands ashore and afioat add ed their cheers to swell the noisy vel come and countless British and Amer ican flags were flung to the breeze and were still waving long after the anchors had been swung from the sides.
 The American ships boomed forth a salute to the port, and as soon as they were safely moored at their anchor. age, official visits were exchanged.

WILL STRIKE IN SYMPATHY.
MachInIsts on All the Gould Roads to
 Go Out,

Denver, Col, Aug 21-Official an nouncement was made here Wednes- day that the vote of machinists on all
 the Gould railroads on the question of
 going on strike in sympathy with the
 Denver & Rio Grande machinists who
 have been out on strike several months has been completed and has resulted in giving the executive of ficers of the union authority to call a general strike. However, 1t is added a strike will not be called immediate ly but further efforts will be made to settle the Denver & Rio Grande strike peaceably without resorting to ex- treme measures.
 Advices were received Wednesday by William Hannah, vice president of the International Association of Ma. chinists, from James O'Connell, pres ident of that organization giving the results of the strike vote which was taken on the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash, the Texas & Pacific, the St. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern, and the other Gould roads. MT. Hannah gave out the following statement:
 The machinists on the Missouri Pacific voted almost unanimously to strike. and on the Texas & Pacific and the Wabash the vote was between 65 and 70 per cent in favor ora strike. The balance opposed it. Our interna- tional president advises me that we have the required per cent to order the men out.
 President O'ConnelI has written me that from the interview he had with Vice President SchIacks in July, when he was in Denver, he feels that the differences which exist between the Denver & Rio Grande and it's me chanics when sifted down are found to be of a trifling nature. and he feels that we can get together and settle this trouble out here without calling more strikes on other roads

WILL NOT BE OPENED
JUDGE WALLACE HAS NO AL. THORiTY TO GO INTO
 BALLOT BOXES
SAYS LAW OF THE STATE PREYE,,,Ts II
Many Evidences of Fraud, He De cIares, But the Law Protects the Sc. crecy of the Ballot Rather Than It's DIshonesty-Makes a Reply to the Grand Jury.

Kansas City, Aug. 21.-The primary ballot boxes will not be opened. Judga William H. Wallace refused Thursday morning the request of the criminal court grand jury to look at the votes Fraud was undoubtedly committed. the judge believes, but the law does give him the power to grant such a re. quest. The honesty of the ballot is sacrificed in protecting the secrecy of 1t, he declared.
 In reply to the grand jury Judge Wallace said
 If what is said about the way the ballot primary was conducted in Kan. sas City is true, it was one of the most diabolical pieces of raseality ever perpetrated.
 T have to follow the law. however. 1 cannot fellow my own personal opin- ions. For that reason T cannot grant the petition of the grand jury for order to open the ballot boxes. Thf decisions of the supreme court ar pears to protect the secrecy of tht UdtiOl idtAiRl lhdu tBC tlOntcA9 oi It.
 q desire to be frank in discussin. this question. l would like to sec these fraud charges investigated tc the very bottom and l charge you as grand jurors to use every device and means in your power.
 "The indications are that there were a great number of fraudulent ballots cast in the recent primary election The returns show that in certain pre- cincts as many as 100 or seventy-fve ballots were cast uniformly for set of possibly twenty candidates. That is condition that did not come about naturally I doubt if 100 men coulG have been drilled to go into an cleo tion booth independently and cas. their votes uniformly for set of cau didates.
 Such a condition came about hy one of two methods Either the bal lots were prepared for the voters by a worker, a challenger or an election of. ficial. or else the honest ballots were taken from the boxes after the polls closed and fraudulent ballots substi- tuted.
 q am bound by the law and I have no right to fly into the face of the su- preme court decisions. have no pow CT to order the opening of the ballot boxes
 If in primary the election crooks can vote dead men; if they can vote absent men: if they can take honest ballots from the box and substitute fraudulent ones-if these things can be done, then the honesty of the bal lot is compromised for the secrecy of the ballot"
 The grand jury petitioned for an or der to open the ballot boxes in all the precincts of the First, Fourth, Sixth and Ninth wards. The reason for pre- senting the petition was given by the grand jurors in these words:
 For the reason that the grand jury upon investigation is convinced that fraudulent ballots were placed in said ballot boxes and were duly counted as legal ballots at said election. and this petition is made for the sole purpose of fully Investigating the facts relat- ing to said fradulant ballot and for the sole purpose of bringing guilty persons tc justice.
