40 Hour Battle With Hungry
Mad Dogs
10 DEGREES BELOW ZERO
With Only a Knife to Defend Him
self Against Pack of Dogs Wilfred
Grenfelt, the Celebrated Missionary
Physician, Has Narrow Experience

SAINT JOHNS, Newfoundland,
June 4.-Battling for 40 hours against
a pack of hunger-mad dogs on the
ice off the coast of Labrador, with
the temperature 10 degrees below
zero and with only knife to defend
himself from being torn to pieces by
the savage brutes, DR., Wilfred Gren-
fell, the celebrated missionary-phy-
sician, recently passed through a
thrilling experience.
Grenfall had left Battle Harbor,
Labrador, to attend several patients
at another station ten miles distant
and was travelling over the ice with a
pack of dogs when he found himself
driven off the coast by moving ice
field Before he realized it he was
in an area covered only with broken
drift ice and before he could stop the
dogs the animals had carried him into
the water. The dogs attempted to
climb on DR.. Grenfall's back and he
was obliged to fight them before he
was able to climb on to a solid piece
OF drift ice. The dogs also succeed
ed in saving themselves. AS the
wind and cold increased when night
came on Dr. Grenfall decided to kill
three Of the dogs to afford himself
more warmth and to supply the other
beasts with food, fearing that be-
coming hungry they would tear him
to pieces.
AS it was they attacked him savage
ly and he was bitten terribly about
the hands and legs, Though the ice
was fast receding from the shore, the
doctor took the legs of the three dogs
and binding them together made a
pole, to the top of which he attached
part Of his shirt to give the signal
of distress and this proved his saliva
ton for the flag was seen and res
cue effected from the shore.

PORTLAND, June 4.-Kissed by a
smiling sun for the FIRST time since
the week OF pleasures began, Port
land, the Rose City, entered upon the
day OF greatest activity and entertain
ment OF the festival season, this
morning. Old Sol, who is about the
only person who hasn't had a smile
for. the Festival during the three days
of the celebration, beamed pleasantly
down upon the splendor of the long
est and most brilliant of the pageants
so far held. Portland has held pa
rades and parades OF hower-bedecked
vehicles and floats, but for variety Of
decoration, smartness of equipage,
elaborateness Of detail and painstak
ing care in the keen rivalry that ex-
lists among the lovers Of fine horses
and swell turnouts, this mornings
procession wondrously excelled them
all The breadth of subjects covered
in the floats entered, the manifest de-
sire on the part of club and society
to make the finest show, and the
seeming disregard for what the en-
tries might cost was likewise unpar-
alleled.
There were things to enthuse over,
to warm the cookies of the most
anaemic heart, and the organizations
which took part had hores of boost
ers stationed along the route, and
they didn't overlook any chances in
boosting" Perhaps the most pro-
longed and spontaneous applause
greeted the Japanese section OF the
pageant, which was an exact repro
duction OF the cherry blossom" fea-
ture of the famous national festival
Of Toxic, The Japanese colonies of
the entire Northwest had contributed
to the fund raised to build these
floats, for there were two of them,
with a natty escort OF fine-looking
Japenese students, and this was pre-
ceded by beautiful decorated VIC
toria, in which were seated members
of the Samurai, the old war lords of
Nippon. They were gorgeously cloth
ed, and each of the occupants wore
gaudy, and what Yankees might call
ugly-looking masks, also in keeping
with tradition. The first of the Jap
anese floats represented rustic tea
garden inclosed and upon which
rode representatives of Uncle Sam
figures of distinguished Japanese, and
the four horses, fully caparisoned,
were driven by son of Nippon, The
next Japanese float was an imported
Japanese cherry tree in full bloom,
and about it were several as pretty
Geisha girls as were ever seen on a
comic opera stage,
In all the decorations and equip
'ment Of the Japanese entries every
Difference and respect was shown to
American customs and American in
stitutions. 1t was really a message
of good and cordiality to the peo-
pie of the Northwest that these pub
lic-spirited Orientals brought this

Fas emerging from the portico TO
witncss the dchle OF the troops, a
member OF the staff OF the France

gori, fred two shots points-blank at
Major Alfred Drcyfus The latter
was only struck once, in the hand.
His assailant was arrested. DreyfuS'
injuries are only slight
A total OF go arrests have been
made up to 6 o'clock this afternoon in
connection with the attack
The incident occurred at the foot
OF the Catafalquc, directly in front
OF the tribune from which M. Dau.

ton, delivered an eulogy on NJ Zola's
matches courage, in rousing the
conscience OF the nation to the neces-
sity OF doing justice TO Dreyfus, AS
the last refrain OF the orchestra's
playing of the Chant du Depart was
floating away through the classic
temple and after President Falleres
and the members of the Presidential
PARTY, after shaking hands with
Madame Zola and her two children,
were moving out towards the portico
to review the garrison OF Paris, two
sharp reports startled the vast as
semblage, For the instant everyone
believed that President Fallieres had
been shot
A scene Of indescribable confusion
followed and many women present
shrieked and tainted. The crowd
surged forward but quickly broke and
scattered when the members of the
Republica Guard, who lined the tran
septs, rushed up. The assailant Of
the Major was struck down, A fierce
knot of soldiers and civilians were
struggling over Major Dreyfus and
his fallen assailant. Major Dreyfus,
his hawk-like features pale as death,
but manifesting complete composure,
was holding up his hand, from which
blood was streaming, while the SOL
diers could with difficulty prevent the
enraged crowd from beating and
kicking the man upon the floor.
Upon the command of Prefect Of
Police Lepine, who was Immediately
on the scene, the assailant of Drey-
fus was dragged to his feet. He pre-
sented pitiable spectacle, From a
,lood- -smeared face, his wild eyes
looked around, appealing as il for
sympathy, but they met only the
angry crowd, and his ears heard only
jmprecations upon his foul deed,
Z The mans clothing was in shreds
and his coat and vest had been lit
orally torn from his body. Major
Dreyfus, accompanied by his brother,
Matthew, who was the first to strike
the assassin, after he fired; DR.. Pozzi
and several other friends, was led
away to the Mayors Office opposite

Chicago. April 3.-Secretary Taft addressed the members of the inter- denomiational social union, whose guest he was at a banquet and recep- tion tonight, on religious questions. and their application to affairs in the Philippines. An hour later he was whisked away to speak to members of the Hamilton club. who were en- gagged in the annual celebration of "AppomattoX Day. His talk to the club men was informal and for the most part reminiscent of his adminis- tration in our island possessions. Mir.

There he left the regular train and finished the trip on a spec ial train. He arrived in secret and at tracted little attention.
