London Suffragetts Went to
Jail To-day
RATHER THAN KEEP PEACE
More Than Score of Them Sent to
Prison--A Vain Attempt by Mob Of
1000 Women to Rescue Them
from the Police.

London, July LA thousand sufIra-
gettes, goaded to madness by the ac-
tion of the police, today attempted to
rescue 2s or 20 of their number who
were arrested during last nights un-
precedented demonstration in Parlia-
ment. The prisoners were being haul
ed to prison when the mob of women
rushed the police van. Expecteing an
attack hundreds Of police had been hid
den inside the prison yard, and they
succeeded in beating back the women.
In court the prisoners were given the
option of being placed under peace
bonds running from $50 to $3.50, or Of
going to prison from one 10 three
months. But one agreed to give a bond,
the others preferring the martyr role.
The women have decided to repeat
last nights performance every night
until Parliament finally grants them
the right of franchise. Fearing to-
days demonstrations 5000 extra police
are in readiness for an emergency.

COST MCCLELLAN
$4,000 TO DEFEND IT
But He Has Been Judicially Declared
Mayor Of New York--He Issues
Staetment.

New York, July l.--Mayor Mcclellan,
whose election as mayor was yesterday
upheld by Justice Lambert, issued a
statement last night in which, after de-
timing his attitude in regard to the re-
count, he states that he has been forced
to pay out $4,000 to defend his title,
not including counsel fees, which are
still unpaid.
The mayor directs attention to the
fact that the result of this enormous
expense and this protracted litigation
has been to increase my total vote and
to diminish my official plurality by
about 500 disputed ballots"
Mayor Mcclellan says that he has no
regrets as to the course ne pursued and
that he feels that the controversy will
discourage the bringing Of election con.
tests Of this sort in the future. He
said that had he suspected that his elec.
tion was the result OF fraud, he would
have acted differently.

Burlington, July 1.-passengers on
the train from the south over the Rut-
land railroad, due here at 4;sO O'Clock

ing experiences yesterday afternoon.
At Chester the train was held up for
40 minutes By a burning bridge. The
fire was extinguislled and the train
proceeded on its way. There was no
grass FIRE about the bridge and the fire
was thought 10 be Of ineendiary origin.
When the train reached Rutland the
combination car and engine, Ne-ha-sa-
ne was being loaded with deputy
sheriffs and officers ready to be taken
north to apprehend the writers Of some
black hand letters, threatening to burn
or otherwise destroy all the bridges be-

ing nearly an hour after the time set
before Thad NJ. Chapman, chairman of
the state committee, raped the oonyen-

Il. r. Reed to offer prayer, following
which Warren K. Austin Of st. Albans
was made temporary chairman and Fred
L. Hamilton of Salisbury secretary.
Mr. Austin spoke briefly on assuming
the chair. In starting out he mentioned
the late President Cleveland, which
caused a ripple of applause and later
when he referred to President Roosevelt
there was more pronounced applause, but
it took the name Of Gov. f. ID. Proctor
to stir the convention. Proctor received
as much applause as the mention of the
name of Candidate VIM. II. Taft.
