enthused over the plans for infusing
new life into the famous Worlds
fair"
The forenoon session was devoted to
the reports of the secretary and treas
urer which were fully discussed and
weighed. after which adjournment was
taken for d Picnic dinner furnished by
the ladies. 1t was one of their best
and was thoroughly enjoyed by every
one.
The afternoon session opened with

business. was obliged to decline re-
election. The election resulted:

He contrasted the modern fair with
that of olden times and the American
fairs with those of Europe. In Ameri-
ca it is usually show; in Europe
mart where goods are exhibited and
bought sold or exchanged. He spoke
of many things which seemed to be
mistakes in our Maine fairs and made
many practical suggestions for the inn
provement and betterment of the
Readfield fair. among other things ad-
vising that the cattle show be extended
to three days, instead of one as at
present.

e EATTLE, Aug. 30-Capt.F. E.Burns,
manager of the Alaska Steam
~ ship company, whose steamer
Ohio struck an uncharted rock in an
unlighted channel in northern British
Columbia last Thursday morning and
was lost, said today:
"It was not more than a few years
ago that the statement was made that
only vessels of ten-foot draft could
use the inside passage between here
and Alaska. Year by year in nat
ural response to the increase in trade
with the north, steamships of deeper

the run.
THE Ohio drew rs feet, consequent
ly, as do all vessels of her tonnage,
she ran the risk of striking submerged
rocks not charted on the maps drawn
to safeguard navigation when small
ships were the rule. So long as the
bigger ships are put on the Alaska
run there will be the constant danger
unless the inside passage is thorough
ly surveyed and every menace to nav
igation, at reasonable depth,

ministration, that he is ready to step
from office Immediately if such should
be the conclusion placed upon his at
titude regarding the methods of pre-
serving the forests and that the views
he has expressed are his own without
any reference to his official position,
seems to be summary of the situa-
tion which has created so much dis
cussion since Mr.. McHarg's original
interview.
Mr.. McHarg said today that Secre-
tary Nagel knew him we'll enough to
place the proper construction on the
sentiment he has expressed and to
know that he would do nothing to
embarrass either the president or his
immediate superior. Mr.. McHarg

he accepted the assistant secretary

animation as a matter of precaution.
This has been done very carefully by
Doctors Brewer and Grille, in con-
junction with DR.. Walter James and

found nothing serious and renew the
advice previously obtained that l

friends in all sections and perhaps

Will Let the Press KOnW About Health

A RDEN, N. Y, Aug. 30.-The trend
~ of opinion regarding Edward H.
- Harriman's condition was DEM
onstrated today by a relaxation of the
intense interest the community has
displayed in that subject Another in
dication was the rapidly thinning
ranks of the newspaper men who
were here when Wall street was
startled by the report that the rail-
road magnate was about to undergo
a critical operation. Yesterday the
family broke silence, and through
their chaplain. Rev. ]. Holmes Nc
Guinness, sent a message to the press
that effectually halted wild conjec-
lures.
At the same time there is little
doubt that the financier's condition is
not entirely satisfactory. Of all the
stories spread broad during the last
three days one persists. This is that
last Friday noted specialist, per-
haps several specialists, held con-
sultation at Arden house. What their
verdict was can only be conjectured,
but if they came to consider an i'm
mediate operation they decided
against it.

the international strikebreaking. Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and DR.. J.
Eads Howe, the philanthropist, rep

Mr.. Gompers submitted a proposi-
tion for an international federation of
Workmen, which while not affecting
the indepe ience of the workmen of
the respective countries, would "cre-
ate international fraternity and soli-

A motion by DR.. Huwe urged trades
unions of all countries to fight against
the movement of Workmen from one
country to another in times of eco
nomic depression, when strikes were
threatened.
Eighteen countries are now repre-
sented at the congress and the secre-
tary announced a membership in af-

increase of 1908 per cent
The conference passed a resolution
OF sympathy with the workmen of
Sweden and Spain, and appealed to
the workmen of the world to struggle
for the abolition of war.
There was lively debate in the
afternoon over the American Fedora
tion Of Labor Mr.. Gompers, placed
on the defensive, declared that the re-

are temperamentally different and Il

union is possible"
