to be constructed in Austria Hungary.
Two of the vessels are to be entrusted
to the Stabilimento Tecnico, at Tries
tie, which has hitherto built nearly all
the Austrian warships, and the other
two probably at Fiume, where a great
dockyard will be built for this pur-

Thu. INAUGURATION

Manager Congdon of the Park Open
Air Theatre, is going TO show the
greatest motion picture that has ever
been seen here. He has secured the
exclusive rights Of the film which con-
tains the leading events in the inau-
guration of President Taft. The ride
of Roosevelt and Fairbanks with Taft
and Sherman from the capital to the
White House, the procession of many
thousand men in uniform as they wen
ded their way from the capital to the
White House West Point cadets and
Annapolis middies are seen with the
worlds greatest musical organizations.
The governors of many of the states
and their stats and the political clubs
of the middle West and the East.
More than a million persons were on
the streets during the procession
Drawing the fiercest blizzard in the his
tory of Washington. The snow is seen
falling and blowing in the blasts of
wind which swept Pennsylvania ave-
! nue. that morning and every detail of
the march is brought here where the
public may see with perfect comfort
an event that is looked forward to
every four years by half the popula-
ton of the states Admission to the
entertainment will be ten and fifteen
cents the first exhibition of the Taft
picture being this evening. Mr.. Bo-
nine, at the solicitation of Mr.. Cong
don gave a private view of the picture
at his rooms in the Oregon block last
night. Every character shows clearly
and their faces would no doubt be rec
ognized by acquaintance. The Blaine
club with striped umbrellas make a
good showing and will attract as much
attention here as in Washington. The
Spirit of '76," picture familiar to
everyone, is seen in real life in the
procession, the fifer and drummers
marching at the head of the Minute
Men of 1776.

The LOG BOOK

When people in this city state that
they are going to the Alaska Yukon
exposition the steamship men here
sometimes wink quietly to themselves.
From the present indications there will
be very many local people who wish
to go from here to Seattle and who
will either stay at home or walk across
the briny deep The steamers which
leave TO rthe Coast between now and
next September are far overlooked
already and still there are number OF
tourists to be cared for, who will have
round trip tickets and so have the
first call for accommodations. The
result viii probably be that many OF
the local people will find that they
cannot get any accommodations and
must stay at home
1t is just possible that, should sufi-
cient bookings be obtained and ar
rangements be made for a cargo, the
Oceanic Steamship Company might be
prevailed to run an excursion to Seat
tie from this city, using the Sierra
for the purpose. If this should be
taken up it would probably solve the
difficulty without much question A
reasonable roUndtrip rate could be
charged which might attract many
who otherwise would not make the
trip.

Alton Railroad Case Quoted

They said the Alton was grossly
overcapitalized. And yet the Alton is
oday the best railroad property in Illi-
nois. Il has been made $50 per cent
better for two-thirds OF its original
cost; and I might add that it IS not
sankrupt even now. It is still solvent,
al the states attorneys general and all
# the inebriated state senators to the
contrsry notwithstanding. And you may
quote me in this respect. even to the
nebristed state senator's
I would begin with the Sherman
nti-trust act, which is and always will
the menace TO cooperate prosperity.
You can plainly see that the ideas of
fhe people have changed in many re-
soects. They are coming to take a
d.nerent view OF many Of the problems
which are involved in the maintenance
arr operation of our railroads. and the
r. rs should be changed to correspond
With these changed views. After all,
s. is the people who own our railroads.
Wants Government Regulated
This question OF regulation will be
worked out all right for every one
concerned. What the newspapers ought
do now is to stop talking about
regulation Of railroads and insist that
f-e people begin regulating the gov
eminent. They should insist, for ex-
ample. that the first and chief aim OF

learn TO conserve its revenue by cut

first occurred last year when Her

At that time Schussler, as chief en-

Hartman arrived here tonight,
and while his car was waiting to
be hitched to a train for New
York, he discussed the tariff. he
said:
If the government had revised the
tariff or given the country good cur

New York, July 81. One of the
most remarkable religious demon
STATIONS ever witnessed 10 this
country has been brought to a
close in the Church of St. Jeane
Baptiste in East Seventy-eigbt
street, where in little silver case,
are treasured two small bones that
are believed to be from the wrist
of st. Anne, mother of the Virgin
Mary. On the first of the nine
days of the Novena remarkable
cures were reported, among them
being woman who is said to have
regained her sight. This and
many reports of similar miracles
caused the little church to be be-
seiged day and night by the lame
and the halt and many pitiful
scenes were Witnessed.
The rush of supplicants became
so great that special details of po-
licemen formed the crowds into
lines and were always present at
the church to preserve order.
Many persons seeking to be cured
from distant cities and hundreds
came from adjacent localities.

Washington, ID. g.. July 81
Some Democrats expected that
Messrs Broussard and Estopinal.
while not having voted with Dem.
ocrats on some phases of the tariff
bill, would join with their party in
voting against the bill. But, while
all the other Democrats, who had
shown protection inclinations and
had voted with the House organi-
cation on the rules fight, returned
to present solid trout against the
common enemy of the democracy.
Broussard and Estopinal signaliz-
ed their complete desertion by 90
ing over to the Republicans on
the final vote for the adoption of
the conference report. with all its
Determinations against the South,

print paper.
The vote in the House tonight
on the adoption of the conference
report was closer than was expec-
ted. Had the two Louisiana Dem.
ocrats voted with their party
against the Taft gold brick, and
five of the insurgent Republicans
voted consistently, having voted to
recommit the bill, it would have
been defeated.

hides were upon the free list.
The other Republicans who vot-
ed against the bill did 80 because
in their judgment it failed to re-
deem the pledge, of President Taft
and of the party honesty to revise
the tariff, for the benefit of the
consuming masses.
