Battle Of Bunker Hill, Is
Fought Over Again.
Many Injured During CeIeha-
! lion, But None Seriously.
Parade, Fireworks, Bonfires az.
Noise Chief Features of Day.

y Boston, June 1.-THE manned and in
5ured In the re-fought battle of Bunker
Hill today came near rivaling if not ex-
ceeding, that of the actual battle of 1874
years ago, even as the uproar of the
earlysmorning hours was comparable with
the din of musketry and shouts of foe
men in the historic contest. One hundred
and nineteen wounded were treated at
the hospitals of Boston and Cambridge
up to an early hour in the evening and
an even greater number had been
attended by physicians and others at
their homes Fortunately there were no
serious injuries.
Charlestown's great day closed tonight
with an electrical pageant which far ex-
ceeded in beauty and elaborateness any
previous exhibition of the kind. A dozen
or more floats, bearing the leading beau
ties of the city arrayed in fantastic cos
tunes, passed through the main streets
of Charlestown over the electric car
tracks during three hours of the evening.
The pageant was emblematica of the
Gems OF the World' and the floats in
turn represented the briliancy and lustre
of the diamond. ruby. emerald, garnet,
amethyst ana kindred precious stones.
Miss Hattie Turnbull, as last year, was
the queen of the carnival and rode on a
dais in the diamond float. 1t was esti-
mated that fully 10000 people witnessed
the display. Two big parades had pre-
viously moved about the city.
In the afternoon parade were a thous-
and sailors from the battleships at the
navy yard. with companies of militia and
High school battalions. Spanish War Vet
Grams and representatives from civic or
CARNATIONS.
The city was aflame with bunting and
flags and religious, social and fraternal
organizations generally kept open house
from daylight to night.
The celebration wound up tonight with
an explosion of fireworks in a store on
Broadway. South Boston. which resulted
in burns and injuries for five young peo-
pie and the destruction of $500 worth of
fireworks and but little damage to the
building. Late in the evening a bunch OF
exploding crackers landed among the fire.
works in the window with the result that
q terrific explosion shook the building
and blew out the sashes. The fire spread
to the stock in the store and a series OF
explosions followed as the fireworks were
consumed.
Henry Frank Phillips, aged 16, who was
In the store, was the most seriously burn
ed and may lose the sight of his eyes.

Fire RACES About Tracks.

Word was received early Thursday
afternoon at the Waterville station
that good sized fire was raging IN
the underbrush and wood about onf
mile above Benton station and in close
proximity to the Maine Central tracks
The fire probably originated from a
spark from a passing locomotive A
crew of men were sent out from this
city and found that the fire had al
ready covered a large area. They i'm
mediately took stand to prevent it
from spreading but not until it had
done considerable damage. No houses
were in the immediate vicinity.

Their MajestIes Meet at 10 A. NJ
On the hohenzoIlen.

Viborg, Finland, June ia British
steamer was fired upon by Russian
torpedo boat for approaching too close
to the bay on the Finnish coast where
Emperor Nicholas and Emperor Will
liam were to meet today.
The British steamer in question is
the Woodbury., Captain Robertson. She
was hailed ard fired upon last night
off WirOlahti, Island of Biorke. The
projectile from the topedo boat pierced
a steam pipe and one member of the
crew of the English vessel was wound
ed. The incident shows the extreme
nervousness for. the safety of Emperor
Nicholas, even at sea.
Russian torpedo boats have been pa
trolling Pitkipas bay, the rendezvous
of the two Emperors, and it was one of
those guard vessels that fired on the
British ship.
The German imperial yacht Hohen-
zollern, with Emperor William on
board, was sighted off Vibork early
this morning. The first meeting be-
tween Their Majesties occurred in Pit
kipas bay, secluded branch of the
sea that Emperor Nicholas makes the
he adquarterS for his summer cruises.
Stockholm, June 17-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Helsingfors confirm
the news that the British steamer
Woodbury. of Newcastle was fired upon
by a vessel of the Russian squadron in
Pitkipas bay, the rendezvous of EN-
peror Nicholas and Emperor William.
The first was a blank charge, but
this was followed a few seconds later
by two shells. Portions of the shells
penetrated the bulkheads and the boil
er of the Woodbury.. The engineer of
the steamer was wounded in the leg
and was taken aboard the Russian
cruiser Asia, where his wounds were
dressed. Later the injured man was
conveyed to hospital at Viborg. AT
ter making repairs the Woodbury. will
sail tomorrow for her home port.

haven, confirming the reports of the
attack on his ship.

FIRE IN WOODLOT.
Twenty Acres Burned Over-Farm
Buildings Have Close Call.

A fire which started in the woods on
the Eight-rod road in the northern
part of the city, which road runs be-
tween the Vest River road and the
Belgrade road, was the source of a
great deal of anxiety to the people of
that section Wednesday a.,l for a por-
ton Of the day yesterday, but was
luckily killed out yesterday afternoon
before it caused the destruction of any
buildings. although it burned over a
large area.
The cause of the fire has not been
stated. In the woodlot where the fire
started Joseph Shaw of this city has
a portable sawmill and near the mill
is a large lot of sawed lumber The
fire started in that vicinity and it is
said that it was only by the hardest
work that the mill and the lumber
were saved. There was a lot of felled
lumber in the woods near the mill,
much of it being pine, and this was
more or less damaged by the flames,
some OF the smaller sticks being burn
ed nearly half way through so fierce
was the fire
A high wind which was blowing
served to spread the fire rapidly, es-
peclally on Wednesday, and it requir-
ed lively work on the part of those
fighting the fire to keep it from sweep
ing everything in its path The fire
worked its way westward to the Hay
ward place and it looked at one time
as if the place was doomed but by
keeping the buildings wet down tia
men were able to save them. Elmer
TraSk, whose place on the West River
road is near the scene of the fire los
some 60 rods of pasture fence by the
f1ames. but as the wind was bIowino
away from his buildings they were not
in much danger
Work was continued in the burnt dis
trlct yesterday and last evening the
hre was reported out, and with the
ram that came last night it is probable
that what few smouldering embers
that might have been left were ouench-
ed, so that danger is over for the pres
ent.

PHoENIX, ARIz,, APRIL ?, 1909
IT IS NO CHILD's PLAY.

The democratic members of con- gress are evidently intending to make the most of the tariff legislation,l and it must be admitted that their op- portunities are great. It is pretty plain by this time that the republi- cans intend to sacrifice no jot or little of the principle of protection The danger is that in adhering to this principle they will involve in protection many commodities which do not need protection or that they will retain protection in cases where the greatest number would be better served by withdrawing it.
 The majority, however earnest may be its purpose for an honest revision of the tariff, has a very narrow road with rough and precipitous sides to travel The trouble is that those who have been the loudest in their demands for tariff reform are also the loudest in their demands for the retention or increase of the tariff on the articles in which their particular communities are interested
 About the only real tariff revis- ionists we have so far discovered in a casual survey of the landscape are those who are out and out free trad CTS, or those whose constituents are so situated that they can not be disastrously affected by a downward revision.
 The republican majority must not only regard the conflicting sentiment in every community even in the same men It must also keep in mind that the protection sentiment of the coun- try, while perhaps no less strong than it has been, is vastly more dis eliminating than it used to be when it refused to believe that any evils could be concealed under the mantle of protection. And having all these things in mind, the majority must further be hampered by a sense of the necessity of keeping the wheels of government fabricated.
 Happy is the minority upon which none of these responsibilities and endorsements are imposed.

A war there now would be of brief duration and the victorious state would not be permitted to retain any thing that it might gain by it.
