New Haven. June 2S.-As wild a scene of iubilation and as picturesque a mass of humanity as was ever gath cred on a baseball diamond was that which the alumni of Yale University presented at the greeting of Secretary Taft this afternoon as he sat with his classmates of '7S in the stand at Yale field to see the annual game between the Blue and Crimson.
 His cup of happiness was filled to overflowing for not only was the crowd a recordbreaking one in his honor the classes the noisiest ever in the dances upon the green sward, but Yale whipped Harvard by a score of 3 to o in a game which was full of better playing than either team had shown this season.
 Secretary Taft and his class, at the head of all the reunion classes made its appearance on the ball field at 3 o'clock. As the familiar figure of the secretary came from around one of the stands, thousands of people rose to their feet and gave many lusty yells and the bands massed behind the stands waiting for them to come into view, burst into music.
 The class of IS with Taft at its head swung onto the field and began the procession which for more than thirty minutes was one great moving band of color and action. In the coll umn were bull fighters, matadors, Irish peasants, Tyroleans. Rough Rid CTS freely using six shooters. others with contrasting colored uniforms, while here and there was a feature such as a wild bull impersonated by two men under one skin, an immense lion, men on horseback and others carrying placards on which were humorous references to the chief guest of the day. As the column wound round for the second time the Taft party halted at their stand. reviewed a part of the classes and then they took their seats In front Of the stand the classes cut capers of all sorts and finally a razzle dazzle dance was started. At last the crowd grew quieter. and the classes faded away back into stands.
 The ball game was a good one Taft's tribute to the team and its captain came in the first inning when Jones stepped to bat. Up rose the secretary, his class with him. The band in front played, For God, For Country. and For Yale" and one more wave of cheering swept round and round the field
 As soon as the game was over Taft passed out of the stand in the midst of a knot of friends and shook hands with a great many acquaintances. Then he walked out on the field, in the center of which a burlescue automo-

AMALGAMATED FIRES.
No Worse Than They Have Been For
 Nineteen Years

Butte, June 23.-General Manager Gillies of the Amalgamated Copper company properties today issued an official statement concerning the fires in the Anaconda and St. Lawrence Mines. misleading statements concern ing which were sent out of this city last night.
 Gillies says the blaze which has been raging continuously since 1889 is no worse than it has been several times before, and there was nothing alarm ing in the situation.
 The fire is supposed to have start ed from a miners candle. For nine teen years it fed on the timbers in the part to which it was confined, spreading slowly. The sulphured ores also lend fuel to the smouldering flames.

Trials by Bread and Cheese.

There were many odd ways in an.
Client times of detecting criminals. Our
ancestors had not lived long enough to
lose their faith in the cravings Of
conscience, and divine interference in
earthly justice was superstitiously re-
garded as a daily occurrence.
No queerer example of this could be
found than the ancient mode of try
ing prisoners by dread and cheese"
The unfortunate offender was led, with
a halter round his neck, to the parish
church, and there in the presence of
all the people the priest put pieces of
cheese and rye bread in a patten on
the altar. These he blessed, and then
the supposed criminal had to eat them
dry before the congregation.
If he managed to swallow them cas-
lily, he was acquitted, but if he choked
he was condemned. Naturally enough
scores Of innocent folk were thus done
to death.-Pall Mall Gazette.

WHO IS ON TRIAL?

The opponents of Senator Allison
with a great show of sagacity and po-
litical acumen, ask, ''What has SEN
ator Allison ever done in congress
that is out of the ordinary, that he
should be given the Iowa senatorship
for the seventh term?" For one thing
he has drafted more useful and neces-
sary laws that have become operative
over tie United States than any other
man who has had seat in congress.
He is the man who furnished the
figures and data and schedules for the
Mckinley tariff bill that put McKin-
ley in the presidential chair. He is
the man who, by his forty four years
of careful. painstaking, Luxurious
work and investigation in congress
has acquired fund of fact and infor-
nation that enables him to give valu-
able and safe advice on difficulG ques-
tions of governmental, financial or
economic policies. He is the man. of
all others in Washington, who is con-
suited when wide and deep problems
of craftsmanship are to be wrought
out and correct conclusions deduced
from tangled premises. He has so de-
ported HIMSELF during his long term of
service at the national capital that no
hint or suspicion of wrongdoing for
selfish ends attaches to his character
or life. Demeaning himself always
with dignity, and acting always for
the public good, he has become not
only prominent figure nationally,
but like John Bright and Gladstone.

statesman. Because he keeps on year
after year quietly at work on high
questions of statecraft and eschews the
pettifogging bombast of the common
windjammer, his opponents blandly
inquire, "What has Allison ever done.
anyhow" By over forty years of
prudent line of conduct and wise Sc
lection.he has sent the fame of Ameri-
can craftsmanship around the world.
What has he done? Forsooth, he has
kept a clear head and clean hands
through almost half century of
public life and today he is quietly at
work in his place in Washington
honestly earning his salary, while
much smaller men are at home in his
own state plotting and lying and
scheming to oust him from his honest
ly earned and securely held position
in the United States senate and the
affections of his constituents. No,
it is not Mr. Allison who is on tIial
but the good Judgment of the voters
of the commonwealth of Iowa that is
being tried in the crucible of public
temptation. Stuart News.

WILL THE GOVERNOR REPLY

In his speech at Mason City last
night. adore sing large enthusiastic
audience. Senator j. P. Dolliver
made the deliberate charge that Gov
ernor Cummins promised him that he
would not be candidate against
Senator Allison. Senator Dolliver
gives the time when this pledge was
made, and charges that it was uncon-
ditional and unequivocal. He says
that just before Christmas, year
ago. he had personal interview with
Governor Oummins, in which the
latter gave him his pledge, outright
and positive, that under no circum.
stances would he become a candidate
against Allison. and furthermore, that
at Cummins' request he (Dolliver)
carried message to that effect to
Senator Allison in Dubuque. This
same promise, as is now known, was
made in letter to W. II. Torbert of
Dubuque, which has been printed in
these columns. and also in a personal
interview with Congressman Birdsall.
Three men of unquestioned integrity
Senator Dolliver, Congressman
Birdsall and w HI. Torbert, the latter
or whom has his evidence over the
signature of the governor himself
testify that Cummins promised not to
be a candidate for Ailison's seat.
Thus far in the campaign Mr.. Gum.
minis has refused to admit or deny the
truth of these statements. If they are
true, he owes it to his own good
name, to the honor of his party and to
the cause of progressive republicanism
to Withdraw from the senatorial con-
test. If they are not true, he ought
to say so. If they are true. and Mr..
Oummins remains in the race, no re-
publican in Iowa who believes that
public men ought to keep their word
or who places any value upon common
honesty among men can afford to vote
for A. B. Cummins for senator Man

A sensation corroborating and even
,ou1 81. .kIi,,r, 4har, Tho Tnrhork lokkor

A sensation corroborating and even
more startling than the Torbert letter
will be sprung when Congressman
Birdsall takes the stump in the inter-
est of Senator Allison. After success
fully proving by the Torbert lettss
that Gov Cummins had promised not
to be a candidate against Senator AL
lison, Senator Dolliver at Mason City
told of conversation between Cum
Minis and Birdsall on the porch of the
Oummins mansion in Des Moines,
when Cummins told Birsdall to COLI
vey to Senator Allison the compli-
ments of the Christmas season. When
Judge Birdsall told the governor just
after the governors nomination in
1906 of the uncertainties of the cleo
tion, and expresses the fear that Alli-
sons friends feared the success of
Cummins mean this attempt to GUST
the venerable senator, the governor
asked Birdsall to go before the people
and in his name pledge to Senator AL
ison's friends that the venerable
statesman had nothing to fear from
the governors success at the polls and
Judge Birdsall in pursuance to that
assurance did publicly'state without
qualification that the governor would
not attempt to block Senator Allison 8
reelection. The question is again be-
ing asked. will Cummins be forced to
keen his word?
