ROYAL BLOOD IN HER VEINS
Daughter of Senator Elkins Will Wed
the Duke Of the Abruzzi if
All Goes Well,

New York, Aug. 6.-The royal blood of
a line of Italian kings courses through
the veins of Senator Henry G. Davis of
West Virginia, and consequently Miss
Katherine Elkins, his granddaughter.
whose reported engagement to the Duke
of the Abruzzi excited two continents,
is of royal lineage, according to a cable
today from London.
Mrs Albert Levin Richardson of Bal
timore, who has been In London for two
years making researches in reference to
the origin of seventeenth century Ameri-
can colonists of the upper classes, has
discovered that Senator Davis forebears
trace their descent back to A D. 81
in the time of Cbarlemagne, through
many generations Of Italian kings. Mrs
Richardson, whose is public record COM
missioner Of the state of Maryland, sub
mitted her proofs to the Heralds' col
lege in London and. after the documents
were vigorously examined, the proofs
were passed as absolutely iTpeccable,
according to the cablegram. This fact
is now recorded in the archives Of the
HeraIds' college and a certificate to this
effect has been granted to Mrs. Rich
ardsOn.
Neither Senator Davis nor Senator FL
kins. father Of Miss Katherine Elkins,
are said to be cOgnizant of this discov-
cry. which may have an effect on the
Italiaa opposition to the young woman S
marriage to the Duke Of the AbrJzzL

mander Of the British forces in India,

care AS a preparation for this work,
for which ne has gained valuable expert

GRAVE OIGGERS At WORK
Strike Situation at Stockholm, Swed-
en- Not so Bad as 1t Was a
Few DAYS Ago.

Stockholm, Aug. 6.-The tense situation
arising from the general strike pro-
claimed a few days ago seemed to be
relaxing tonight. The grave diggers re
turned to work today and disSensiOn is
apparent in the ranks of the other strik-
ers. The employers OF some of the lar
gest plants i'm Stockholm announce that
their men viii return to work Monday.
1t is reported that the Central Fedora
ton Of Trades Unions has requested the
government to mediate in the crisis.
NJ. Ven SydOw, president Of the EN-
blowers federation, declared tonight, how
ever. that intervention by the govern
rnent would be without result as the
differences were too great to be settled
in such a manner. The National Labor
union published a statement disapprOv-
ing the strike of the electric light and
gas workers
The dissatisfaction among the strikers,
it is thought. may indicate the collapse
of The movement. The strike leaders,
however, seem determined that no COM
promise shall be made and therefore 1t
is difficult 10 form a judgment on the
progress Of the movement or how far
the funds available viii carry them- The
increasing cost Of living and the diff
cultv of obtaining food is being felt and
doubtless accounts for the fact that a
large number Of the strikers have re-
turned to work. Public opinion was too
much for the grave diggers and they
were compelled to again take up their
picks and shOvels.

VERY THRILLING CHANGES
Customs Officials Have No Difficulty
in Substituting Payne Rates
for Dingley Schedules.

Washington, Aug. Conformation re-
ceived at the treasury today from New
York. Boston and Philadelphia indicates
that the new tariff law is working with
unexpected smOothness.
Generally at the beginning Of the opera
ton of a new tariff law matters in the
big custom houses are at skies and
sevens" for a few days. but no COnfu-
sion has yet manifested itself in the ad-
ministratiOn Of the Payne law, it is said.
BY treasury officials. this is accounted
for by reason of the new law having been
constructed on the general lines Of the
Dingley act, although, Of course, the fig
ures differ.
In anticipation Of the enactment Of the
new law general instructions were sent
by the treasury department two weeks
ago to collectors of customs at the va
rious ports OF the United States. The
collectors were directed. pending the ar
rival in their offices of official copies
of the new law, to collect the duties I'M
der the old law on estimates, but not to
Iouidate any entries until they had the
rev law before them.

JAPAN BEARING DOWN UPON CHINA
REGARDLESS OF lATTER'S RIGHTS
Powers Notified That the Improvement Of the Antung Mukden
Railroad Will Not Be Longer Delayed.

Toxic, Aug. I'm a communication is
sued today Japan officially notified the
powers Of her intention to proceed i'm
mediately with the reconstruction and i'm
prOvement Of the Antung- Mukden rail-
road without the consent of China, diplO-
matte negotiations having failed to over
come the opposition of that country to
the commencement of work which Japan
believes to be within her rights under the
treaty of 1865.
The note outlines the entire course of
negotiations relative to the Improvement
of the railroad up to the present time.
1t declares that throughout the discus
siOns China has had recourse ito her
well known policy of obstruction and pro-
crastination, has evaced the just and rea-
sOnable demands of Japan and raised col
lateral questions regarding police author
ity and other matters thus delaying a
settlement.

SHERMAN AT HOME.
Vice President Has Nerve Enough to
Talk of Downward Revision.

Utica. n Y. Aug. 6.--ViCe President
James S. Sherman returned TO his home
here tonight. Speaking of the new tariff,
Mr. Sherman said.
1.-THE final result Of the tariff measure
was reached with apparent good feeling.
This was largely due to the tact Of Presi-
dent Taft, who accomplished wonders I'm
harmonizing the opposing forces. The
schedules as adopted reaffirm the pro-
tectfve principle There was no likelihood
at any time that it would De 0verthrOwn
or abandoned. When rates have been az
vanced. they apply to Injuries On praC-
tically ali other articles, the tendency has
made.

ceptable. 7 think, and now that the tariff
questions have been definitely settled, [

under the treaty Of 1905 were disregarded
and the provisions OF the treaty wholly
nullified thereby. 1t is charged that
China raised immaterial issues and de-
clared in her reply that the work Of i'm
prOvement on the AntUng-M ukden rail-
road must be confined to the existing
track and that the broadening Of the
gauge cannot be permitted"
The communication concludes with the
statement that since June a. when the
reply was received, Japan has endeay-
ored to induce China to reconsider her
decision and recede from her untenable
position; bit that the Chinese government
has maintained an unyielding and uncom-
promising attitude.
The final paragraph of the note con-
tains Japan's ultimatum which is ex-
pressed as follows:
In this situation the imperial govern
ment is compelled to take Independent &C
ton and proceed to carry out the neces-
Sary works Of reconstruction and i'm
provement according to treaty rights"

100 yards on the ties, when it turned
partially over, Obstructing the track.
Following the tender was the baggage
car in which Baggageman Remy and
Brakeman Cofman were riding. This
crashed into the tank, was derailed and
was partially turned on its side. The
smoking car I'm which all Of the other
injured persons were riding, was de-
rallied by the impact. and the passen-
gers were thrown violently about. Mr.
StrUnt was the most seriously hurt Of
any Of the occupants Of the smoking
car.
Remain on Track.
The two coaches following the smoE-
ing car remained on the track. The
occupants of these cars were shaken
when the train was so suddenly stopped,
but beyond that they suffered no I'll eff
fects from their experience.
A fortunate circumstance in cOnnec-
ton with the accident is the fact that
the point where the wreck occurred IS
only a short distance from the home Of
Dr. Sumner Gleason, the company sur
geOn and physician. DR.. Gleason was
on the scene within a few minutes after
the accident happened. He gave imme-
date attention to the injured, and
within a short time their wounds were
dressed.
When the train left Pennington a
woman with two children were found by
the conductor in the smoking car A
few minutes before the train reached
the place where the tender axle broke
the conductor took the woman and her
children into one Of the rear cars, and
by so doing doubtless saved them from
injury.
The track was cleared of its wreck
age within a few hours after the de-
railment, and last evening trains were
again running on schedule time.
