Trouble Over Taft's Visit.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-President Taft on
his forthcoming visit to Chicago desires
to see all the people he can. Certain
people with social ambitions desire to
monopolize him and the result is puzz-
ling the managers of his visit here.
The President has been sounded -
on what he most desires while here in
the way of amusement and he prompt
ly came back with broad hint that a
bang-up ball game would about fill the
bill. Consequently the National League
people arranged game between the
Cubs, worlds champions, and the
Giants, formidable pretenders to the
throne, if Pittsburg can be disposed of.
1t so happens that the American
Bankers Association will be holding
its national convention here on the day
of Taft S visit, and the Hamilton Club,
which has charge of his movements
while here, has been asked to have him
drop in at the grand banquet. So the
club agreed to "lend' him to the ban
quet for a few moments.

PauIham Remains Continuously in Air
Nearly Three Hours.
Battles With Wind and Rain During
Flight of 83 Miles, Descending
Only When Fuel Tank Was Empty
Hailed as Create st Aviator and
Borne AIoft by Admirers.

Betheney Aviation Field, Rheims,
Aug. 26.-Another sensational exploit
was added to the marvels of aviation
week today when Paulham, the plucky
French aviator, broke the world s rec
ord in wonderful hight of hours SO
minutes "a seconds for the Prix de la
Champagne in Voisin biplane. Dur
ing 20 Minutes of the time Paulham
had heavy rain and wind storm to
contend with.
The previous official record for time
in the air was made by Wilbur Wright
at Lemans, December 81, 2 hours 90
minutes 23 1-5 seconds. The unofficial
record was hours 27 minutes 25 Sec
onds, made by Sommer at Marmellons.
Paulham IS new record for distance was
about 1874 kilometers, or SO miles. He
made 13 circuits of the course and the
wind squall passed as he was coming
down the home stretch for the last
time.
Simultaneously, the dirigible Colonel
Renard appeared to the westward, plow
ing its way majestically through the
smoke of the city of Rheims. When
dulhdHl hhdliy CAME uo"h, ~ was pe-
cause the 56 Iltres of essence which he
carried in his tank was exhausted. He
said the machine and self cooling motor
had stood up perfectly and that it could
have continued indefinitely if the tank
had been replenished.
NO one who witnessed the fight now
entertains the slightest doubt that
aerial navigation with heavier-than-air
machines has glorious future.
Starting in 12knot breeze shortly

ton of completing the so kilometers be-

plished his original purpose, but con-
tinued to circle the ast plain until his
tank was empty.

FIND ANCIENT RELICS.
Russian Scientist Says Far North Was
Highly Civilized.

Port Townsend, Aug. 24.-News is
brought by the United States revenue
cutter Tahoma, which reached Puget
Sound today after steaming around the
world from Baltimore, that a party of
ethnologists, headed by Dr. Waldemar
Yochelson, noted Russian explorer,
and encountered at the Island of Attu,
in the Aleutian archipelago, has discov-
cred relics and skeletons that would es-
tablish the record of population of
Northwestern North America during
prehistoric ages.
In a statement to Captain Quinan, of
the Tahoma, DR.. Yochelson said that the
relics uncovered would establish COM
pletely belief that thousands of years
ago the highest type of humanity ex-
isting in the new world existed in the
North. The search of the Yochelson
party is directed by the Royal Russian
Geographical Society and will be con-
tinued several years before formal re-
port is made in st. Petersburg.
A report is also brought that the Bo-
goslov Islands, in Bering Sea, the field
of numerous changes through volcanic
eruptions, is now undergoing further
marked confgurations.

STRIKERS AS SHARPSHOOTERS
Civil War Continues at Mckees Rocks
Urged on by Debs.

Pittsburg, Aug. 26.-The town of
Schoenville, where the Pressed Steel
Car company strike is in progress, has
assufed a civil war appearance instead
of a town riotgripped. Sharpshooters
are in the woods on the heights above
the works. Troopers, heavily armed,
parade all the streets.
great searchlight, mounted on top
of the plant, with the operator pro-
tected by a sheet of Steel is constantly
revolving tonight to discover any effort
to break inside the stockade and to spot
sharpshooters. The state troopers have
laid aside their maces and ride out of
the stockade with rifles across the pom
mels of their saddles.
The entire community bears a grim
aspect Both sides are waiting for some
move that will bring on conflict. Eu
gene Debs, the socialist leader, today
urged the men to fight to finish, and
they are determined that they will not
leave the community or give in. Arms
are being purchased at gun stores and
there is fear the near future will bring
about conflict that will startle the
coutry.
During the early hours this morning
several shots hit the metal shield erect
ed by the deputies for protection against
fusllades out of the dark The marks
men were on high hill about quarter
of mile distant from the works. Only
the poor ability of the marksmen pre-
vented the loss of several lives today.
The state troopers will not permit
any one to stop and talk. The foreign
ers must remain at a distance or in
doors, but they are stubborn and re-
vengeful.
Further adding to the warlike ap-
pearance of the stockade, Lieutenant
Charles p. Smith and 25 troopers today
went to a large tenement house in
Preston The place was surrounded
and squads were detailed to search
the apartments of 20 families. Three
rifles, ten revolvers, ten knives and
machete were confiscated

MAKES THRILLING FLIGHT.
American Aeroplane Lowers Record
for Rheims Course.

Rheims, Aug. 24.-Glenn H. Curtiss,
the American aviator, and NJ. Paulham,
representing France, divided honors of
the second day of aviation week, the
former in thrilling flight just before
dusk, in which he lowered the speed
record for the course, which measures
6 1.5 miles, to minutes 35 2-5 seconds;
the latter making two impressive high
altitude flights of 493 and Sc kilometers,
respectively, in the endurance test for
the prix de la Champagne.
Curtiss' performance began just as
the time limit for the start of the prix
de la Champagne was expiring. Bleriot
only a few minutes before had clipped
l6 seconds off LeFebvre s record.
Suddenly, at the end of the field cry
went up: "The American is starting!'
With a preliminary run along the
ground of 100 yards, the machine rose
lightly and shot by the tribunes at
height of 60 feet. 1t was going ter
rife pace, with the wing level as
plane. Curtiss made the last run under
the mistaken impression that the finish
line was closer. He descended so close
to earth that many thought he touched,
but perceiving his error, he mounted
quickly, crossing the line majestically.
An instant later the signal was hoisted
that he had made a record.

HAPPENINGS GATHERED IN AND
AROUND WASHINGTON, D. 6.
FLOUR TO BE SEIZED.
Department of Agriculture Does Not
Approve of Bleaching.


Washington, Aug. 26.-The requests
of manufacturers of bleached -four that
no further seizures of bleached -four be
made until test case should have been
decided, were refused today, following
a conference between Wade II. Ellis,
acting attorney general, and DR.. II. F..
Dunlap, of the pure food board of the
agricultural department.
The food experts Of the department
some time ago decided that bleached
-four was in violation of the pure food
laws, not so much on the ground of i'm
purity but because Of alleged misbrand-
ing, and the agents Of the department
were instructed to make seizures of
-four. Counsel for the millers have
been suing to have the seizures discon-
tinued until test case could be de-
cided. Today it was determined that
the seizure would be continued without
regard to a test case.
1t is not known what percentage of
-four now consumed in the country is
put through the bleached methods. Two
processes of bleaching, one by elec-
tricity and the other chemical pro-
cess, are used nearly altogether.
The large millers Of the northwest
stopped bleaching -four on February l.
The hard wheat of the northwest makes
a white -four without bleaching, while
the softer wheat of the middle west
does not produce such white color
when milled.

AWAITS HARTMAN
His Health Is Matter of Utmost Con-
Germ to Wall Street.
Financiers Are Greatly Disappointed,
Having Expected Him to Jump to
Work at Once-Trusted Lieuten-
ant Says Chief Is Brainiest, Most
Patriotic Man in America.

On Board s. s. Kaiser Wilhelm II,
Aug. 24.-The condition Of E. II. Har-
riman has undergone no notable change.
He still remains most of the time in his
private cabin owing to the heavy fog
which has prevailed throughout the en-
tire trip. The present indications are
the steamer will be late in arriving, be-
cause Of the delay occasioned by the
fog.
New York, Aug. 24.-As the Kaiser
Wlhalm II hourly draws nearer to her
pier in New York, public interest in E.
H. Hartman s return grows acute. Gen
eral anxiety as to his health has found
expression in a series of published ap-
precautions of his personality and
achievements such as probably never
before has been accorded private cit
izen.
There is manifest disappointment in
Wall street that Mr.. Hartman s So
iourn abroad has not set him up suf-
ficiently that he may resume at once ac-
tive charge of the great interests with
which his name is associated. Tomor-
row both the Southern Pacific and the
Union Pacific directors will meet, but
it has not even been suggested that Mr..
Hartman will try to attend these meet
ings.
Alexander Millar, secretary of the
Hartman lines, one of Mr.. Hartman 8
most trusted lieutenants, spoke of his
chief today with seriousness and
warmth.
"Mr. Hartmann said he, "has been
pictured as an ogre, huge spider, an
octopus. You don It know what big
hearted, bigsouled man he really is. l
call him today the biggest, the braini-
est, the most patriotic American citizen
we have.
elf I should be asked to name the
chief characteristics that have contrib
uted to his success, I should say, his
wizardry with figures, his faculty for
getting instantly into the kernel of
facts, his Judgment of men and his in
sight into and faith in the future.
T'He makes changes, but the very
men shifted will tell you they do better
work in the new positions.
"Like all big men, he is not what
you would call methodical. He jumps
to conclusions by seeming intuition. No
doubt the logical processes are all there
for Mr.. Hartman is no visionary
but they elude analysis by their swift
ness.
"Does he play. as hard as he worksf
To tell YOU the truth, / never saw him
play, except with his children. His chill

MAKE WINE FROM GRAPES.
If Any Other Ingredient Used, Label
Must So State.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Upholding it's
contention that the consumer is, under
the food and drug act, entitled to know
the character of the product he buys,
the board Of food and drug inspection
of the department of agriculture today
issued decision declaring that bever-
age cannot be labeled wine unless it is
made from "the normal alcoholic fer
mentation of juice Of sound, ripe grapes
without addition or abstraction, either
prior or subsequent to fermentation.
The term "wine" can only be used
for beverage made from the marc of
grapes if the beverage is labeled "imi-
tation.' A fermented beverage pre-
pared from grape "must" by the ad
dition of sugar may be termed "sugar
wine" according to the board 3 de-
cision. The addition of water to the
grape "must" will also require further
Characterization than the term "wine -
The decision was reached by the
board in connection with the labelling
Of Ohio and Missouri wines.

Earthuuake Swallows Island.

Mexico City, Aug. 24.-Dispatches
from Acapulco today say the people of
that port believe Clipperton Island was
swallowed up by the sea during the late
earthquake No word of any kind has
come from the island and as the neigh
boring bed of the ocean is known to
have been greatly disturbed, the port
officials at Acapulco are urging the War
Department to send out the gunboat
General Guerrero on a search. The be-
lief of the Acapuleans has not yet fully
impressed the War Department, and no
gunboat has so far been sent in quest.

Oregon Man Champion.

Camp Perry, O., Aug. 27.-The ma
tonal rifle matches were concluded to-
day. In the individual match another
world s record was made.
A young rifeman from the United
States Naval Academy, Midshipman H.
o. Roesche, of Oregon, who won the
governor s match last week, made the
remarkable score of 1875 out of pos
sible 200 at slow fire in the 200, 600,
500 and 1000yard targets, thereby win
ming the 500 prize for the highest slow
fire score.
Roesche also won the match, defeat
ing 623 competitors, with the record
score of $50, which is 30 above the score
by which Lieutenant A. d. Rothrock, of
Ohio, took the honors last year.

HAVOC WITH MOORS.
Spanish Artillery Kills Hundreds, and
Moors Mutilate Prisoners.

Lisbon, Aug. 27.-special dispatches
received here from Melilla say the fight
ing is general on the Moroccan coast.
The new Spanish artillery has wrought
terrible havoc among the Moors, who
have lost 1000 men in the last three
days. The Spanish casualties amount
to $50 ASpanish column has destroyed
three villages near Restinga.
A Moorish deserter who has come into
the Spanish lines declares the Spanish
prisoners, after being horribly turtured
and mutilated, are decapitated and their
bodies flung into hole on Mount Gu
ruga. Estimates place the number of
Spanish prisoners at 1000.
The water being doled out to the
Spanish troops is insufficient, and driven
by their overwhelming thirst they have
drunk from stagnant pools. Many cases
of poisoning have resulted. Already SO
men have died from this cause.

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-The steam
whaler Gayhead, Captain Wing, arrived
today from Kodiak with 1850 barrels of
oil, the product of 25 whales. The first
mate, venturing too close to one of the
monsters, was flung into the air with
his crew of six men by the blow of a
whale s tail, and an hour later, with
the same crew, suffered the same exper-
fence The third mates boat was also
wrecked, but the struggling crews were
all rescued.

SPANIARDS PLAN ATTACK.
Will Take No Chances, for Fate of
Kingdom Hangs on Result.

Melilla, Aug. 25.-General Marina
commander of the Spanish forces, said
today that he planned to assume the of
fensive within ten days. 1t is evident
that he feels keenly his responsibility
knowing that far more depends upon
the next movement that the actual sue.
tions against the Moors.
The events Of the next few weeks
here may fix the fate Of the Spanish dy-
nasty. A reverse might prove fatal /;
hence General Marina is leaving moth
ing to chance. When he moves he will
be at the head of force so strong that
the Riffs cannot by any possible means
win victory in the open.
Melilla and the railway have been
converted into veritable fortress and
it would require an army with a siege
train and modern ordnance to capture
the points.
Everything now turns on the con-
struction of the canal to Marchica. If
this fails, the task of the Spaniards will
be greater, as all the supplies must be
brought by land and exposed to Moorish
attacks.
Since the earthquake Of 1894 closed
the exit to the sea, the water at Mar
chca has evaporated and receded. By
reopening the channel, the Spaniards
hope to raise it to the former level,
making it navigable for transports. The
success Of this will enable General Ma
rina to feed the army by way of the
sea.
Many feel that lite more dash to
the enterprise would have been advisi-
BILE, but the memory of Pinto s reverse
appears to have sunk deep into the
general s mind.
The fact that no attempt is permitted
to dislodge the enemy has resulted in
more daring tactics on the part of the
Moors each day, which might be
checked if the Spaniards sent out a few
sharpshooters. There is strange fear
of some lurking trap like that into
which General Pinto fell.

MAKES NEW RECORD
Hubert Latham, French Aviator, Out
does Pauham.

Bethany Aviation Field, Rheims, Aug.
27.-Hubert Latham, the French avi-
ator, today took glorious revenge for
the hard luck he experienced in his re-
cent attempts to cross the English Chan
mel by establishing a new worlds rec
ord for distance, 154 kilometers, $50
meters, or 95.sS miles. Latham covered
| Is laps, or $50 kilometers, in 2 hours,
13 minutes, 8 seconds, and the full dis
tance in 2 hours, So minutes, 9 35 Sec
onds, which are also worlds records.
The flight was at the rate of about 6Sa
kilometers an hour, as compared with
So! made by Wright at Lemans and a
fraction under so made by Paulham yes
terday.
Nothing could have exceeded the
beauty and impressiveness of the pro-
longed flight. In grace of lines no
other aeroplane here compares with
Latham IS monoplane. The slightly
tilted planes from the long skiff-like
body give it the resemblance, when
close, to a winged canoe; while sailing
high up in the air, it looks from the
distance like a mammoth dragon. For
an hour, with futtering wings, like a
living thing, it fought its way against
the storm of wind and rain at an
average height of $50 feet, mounting
higher as the wind rose, until at the
worst of the storm, it rose fully 1000
feet.
Latham early in the day, with No. 13,
an aeroplane of the same type, made
fight of more than 70 kilometers, and
after he had finished, Count de Lambert
covered 1l6 kilometers, 1918 miles, in
commanding fashion. The flights there
fore in a single day totaled more than
90 miles.

TRY to Leave Out Farm Land.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Statements
and interviews quite constantly are
printed from friends of the policy of
conservation, based on the assumption
that amendment of the law will be nee
essary to enable the elimination of agri
cultural lands from national forests.
Associate forester, in the absence of
Forester Pinchot, when asked about
this matter, and requested to make a
statement setting forth in substance the
facts, prepared the following:
Gin establishing the boundaries of
national forests, it is the aim of the
service to exclude, so far as possible,
lands more valuable for agricultural
purposes than for forest purposes. Any
one acquainted with the mountainous
regions of the west in which are located
national forests will realize, however,
that small areas Of agricultural land in
pockets and in valleys of minor streams
exist, which in establishing boundaries
to include forest land could not be ex-
cluded -

Washington, Aug. 27.-The body of
Lieutenant James N. Sutton, of the
United States marine corps, will be dis
inferred and examined by medical and
gunshot experts to determine the nature
of the wounds that caused his death.
Before reinterment, however, the
ground in which the body now rests in
Arlington cemetery will be consecrated
under the rites of the Catholic Church.
Cardinal Gibbons has sanctioned the
plan. Cardinal Gibbons, it is said, con-
sders it has been established that Lieu
tenant Sutton did not take his own life,
at least with suicidal intent.

Million Cigars From Philippines.

Washington, Aug. 24.-One thrifty
Philippine commercial concern managed
to get into the United States 100000
cigars and, it is thought, other tobacco
products, in advance of certain rules
and regulations which the war depart
ment and the treasury department were
preparing.
The cigars and other stuff arrived
on the day the tariff went into effect
AS the tariff allows importation free
of duty of only 150,O00,0OO Philippine
cigars, the proportion which has already
come in is regarded as large.
The cigars are understood to be of
inferior grade, and it is said that the
long sea voyage from Manila has
deteriorating effect upon them, but it
is claimed now that some concerns have
invented a method to Offset this.

Bad Faith, Say Companies

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Charging bad
faith on the part of the union commit
tees for not recommending to the mer
the adoption of the former peace propo
sition, the street railway companies to
day presented President w. D. Mahon
of the international street carmen 's
union. with an elaboration of their
plan for grading wages according to
length of service. Under this plan the
wages of the men who nave been in the
service nine years will be advanced to
so cents an hour. Mr.. Mahon held out
for more wages for new men. The ne
gotiations will continue tomorrow.
