UPRISING IN PERU

Lima, Peru, May s0.-Following the exciting events of yesterday when revolutionists attacked the palace and seized President Leguia, only to be charged by the government troops and compelled to liberate the president, or der was completely re-established to- day. At intervals during the night, guards about the city found 1t neo- essary to fire upon groups of the in surgents and thieves who attempted to loot Chinese stores.
 President Leguia today issued a proclama ton thanking the people for their refusal to support the revolu- tionary movement and asking their CO., operation in the way of progress. The president also expressed his thanks to the army which had remained loyal and promoted the officers who saved the palace from revolutionists and freed him from the mob in Bolivar square.
 Many leaders of the factions which took part in the rising have been ar rested Pedro Rivero Pierrola was killed in the fighting yesterday while Carlos Pierrola and Amado Perrola were wounded. The offices of the news paper Prenza was sacked by troops.

GOOD WORDS FOR NEGRO.
John Temple Graves Speaks at an
 Educational Rally.

New York, May 30-John Temple Graves. formerly of Georgia politics and journalism, and now a New York news paper editor praised the negro today in an address at Carnegie hall at an educa- tional rally for the benefit of Morris Brown college. negro institution of At lanta. Mir. Graves thinks the negroes are showing more wisdom in their efforts to solve the race problems than are won- an suffragettes in their campaign for a legally recognized right to vote. He also commended the attitude of the negro railroad flremen in the Georgia railroad strike just settled. He said
 'I deem it of remarkable credit to the black race and a tribute to the work being done both by whites and blacks toward uplifting the negro that the negroes have resorted to no violence in connection with the recent strike in Geor- gia It Is an evidence that the negro Is struggling patiently and l say they are acting wiser in their efforts to uplift the negro race than are white women in their crusade for suffrage, because the women have resorted to force The negroes stand a good show to win. and winning, whereas If they adopt the tactics being pursued by women suf- fragettes. prompt and ignominous failure would ring down the curtain on hopeless efforts"
 After his words of praise for the blacks. Mr. Graves hastened to reiterate his antipathy toward anything like racial equality.

Race Question DeIdyS
 Settlement Of Strike

Atlanta. May 30.-Ofhcials of the Georgia railroad and of the Brother hood of Bremen spent nearly the en tire day in conference over those points in the strike agreement which remain to be settled. Commissioner Neill, Chairman Knapp and Second As sistant Postmaster General Stuart were present. It seems very likely that the disputed questions will have to go to board of arbitration finally under the Erdman act.
 The big stumbling block in the path of settlement is the retention of the negro firemen in any capacity. There is no doubt that all other points will be adjusted by the contending parties without arbitration.
 There are several reasons why the race question is so important. The Georgia railroad is considered a home institution. It employs Georgia men only. It's fremen and engineers and conductors. and even it's brakemen, are all natives of towns and villages through which it's trains run. These men have intermarried until nearly whole. communities are related. One

 The Rev Dr. l.. Walter Mason, pastor of the church, used as the next of his sermon the words of the Apostle Paul, We are Gods fellow workers" He made no reference to President Taft until he announced the closing hymn, which was America"
 Eve always like to sing this hymn, ; he said, but In addition to the thrill of patriotism that is usually with us when we sing it. today is added a sig nifcance of personal loyalty to him who represents the government In joining fin this hymn we unite in a common wor- ship. no matter what religious name we happen to bear, and for the time being we all belong to the great American church, one braneh fe the church uni Versal'
 The congregation remained standing while the President and his party left the church and entered the waiting au- tomobiles to return to the Laughlin resi- dence.

Baltimore, May 30.-A plan for the re- organization of the Seaboard Air Line railroad has, according to a story printed in the Baltimore News today, but denied by a member of the reorganization com mittee, been practically agreed upon, and will be promulgated by the company about June H. The article says some minor details remain to be worked out, though the general terms have been ap- proved by the reorganization committee. In brief. the plan provides for:
 No foreclosure.
 Present first mortgage to secure 4 per cent bonds to remain
 Money with which to pay off receiver 8 certificates and floating debt to be raised through sale of debenture or income bonds
 Preferred and common stock not to be assessed.
 Collateral trust 3-year and 10-year 5 per cent bonds to be retired at or before maturity.
 Fixed charges under reorganization to be reduced about 9 per cent. Recoivership to be lifted about the end of the present year.
 Elimination of voting trust.
 The stock will be issued to stockholders and by them voted.
 Eaborating the foregoing features the paper says there will be an issue of de- benture or income bonds for the purpose of raising money with which to pay off the receivers certificates.
 The present first mortgage to secure an

engineer told Commissioner Neill that there was not town on his run be- tween Atlanta and Augusta in which he did not have blood relatives Many of the men come from old and highly respected families and the idea of working with a negro is abhorrent to them It Is repulsive to their rela- lives too and to this feeling is at tributed the strong stand taken by entire communities against the rail road Should the negroes win in the final settlement of the dispute, many believe that there will be strong senti- ment created against permitting the negroes to continue at work This feeling does not exist so strongly in the larger cities. such as Atlanta and Augusta. and 1t is possible that if the railroad insists upon keeping some of it's older black employees. and will con sent to work them only in the yards of the cities named that the problem will be solved.
 The conference will be resumed to- morrow and will be continued until an agreement is reached, or 1t is left to arbitration. Meantime, train service on the Georgia railroad has reached normal condition except in the freight department, and the officials say that by Monday noon all freight trains will be moving on the old schedules.

 It Is intimated that the plan of reor- ganization as agreed upon is dependent upon the acceptance of the terms by the holders of the per cent bonds, and un- less this assent Is given 1t may be neces- sary to foreclose. The terms. however, are regarded as liberal to all interests.
 Thomas J. Hayward of the this city, a member of the subcommittee on reorgan- ization. tonight denied the report No agreement had been adopted, he said, and not even a tentative plan had been for muated by the subcommittee.
 We had hoped before this he added. ito have a plan all ready to submit to the general committee. but as get we have not been able to do so. l am in hopes that plan may be approved very soon. Perhaps it may be approved at the next meeting of the general committee which will be held June ,, but cannot say posi- lively that plan will be submitted"
 MT. Hayward gave 1t as his opinion that the receivership will be lifted from the company by next January.

Pittsburg. May SO-After spending two days in Pittsburg, President Taft left here late tonight for Gettysburg, where he will tomorrow deliver the Memorial day address and where his daughter, Miss Helen H. Taft, will unveil the monument erected by Congress to the memory of the regular troops engaged in the Penn sylvania campaign.
 MT. Taft slept rather late this morn ing after his strenuous experience of yes- ~terday, and spent a quiet day at the beautiful suburban home of his sister in-law and her husband, MT. and Mrs. Thomas K Laughlin. He attended church in the morning and received d number of visitors during the afternoon. The President drove into the city by automobile early in the evening and re- tired to his private car, the Olympia, in the Union station. The car was attached to the regular train and left at Il :3l o'clock tonight over the Pennsylvania railroad for Gettysburg

Philadelphia, May 90.-The second day of the street car workers strike here passed without any serious disturbance, and with very little change in the situation over yesterday, when two-thirds of the surface cars of the city were out of commits sion. Less cars were operated today than yesterday, but the officials of the Rapid Transit company point out that the Sun day schedule Is light.
 The strikers claim they have gained many recruits over night, and predict that tomorrow there will be a complete tieup. Efforts are being made toy get the powerhouse workers to join the strike. The motormen and conductors on the elevated railroad, who get 2 cents an hour more than the surface car men, and have better working hours, have so far refused to join the strikers

 Meantime c. o. Pratt, the national or ganizer. professed at midnight to be sat isfied with the situation.
 During the evening an entire picnic party of nine men who were returning home In a wagon were arrested for call ing "scab'' at a passing trolley car.
 Every prisoner who is arrested is taken to the detective bureau and photograph phed like common criminal.
 Two of the most serious disturbances of the day, however, did not result in any arrests. At one place telegraph pole was placed across the car track, and it required the efforts of a squad of po- licemen to keep the crowd from putting it back a second time. At another point a motorman became terror-stricken because of the presence of crowd of strike sym pathizers and was unable to run his car A striker volunteered and ran the car back to the barns for him.

UNCERTAINTY IN
 STOCK MARKET

New York, May 30.-Th ere was con ty in the stock market movement last week, with a perceptible tendency to return to a fixed level in the price average. The same tendency Is per ceptible in longer retrospect, the aveage price of the most representa- tive stocks having changed but little from that of the early part of May. The speculative attitude is one of waiting and this disposition was intensified by the three day holiday interval in pros- pect at the end of the week. The mar rowness of the public interest in the market was evidenced in numerous ways. Once or twice during the week there was liquidation going on of what looked like large individual ac- counts in few stocks. The rapid yielding of prices of securities thus af fected indicated the indifference of the demand which had to be contended with while on the other hand, In the intervals of these liquidating episodes. a very light demand was effective in lifting prices rapidly. thus indicating the small floating supply of stocks in the marke
 Efforts to analyze the causes lying behind these manifestations gave large importance to the extent of the oper- ations by market pools and elaborate speculative organizations which have figured in the advance in prices for many months past. The objective point of these organized operations has been the awak ened public demand for secur- tiles and the progress of the restora- ton of trade and industry to the ac- tivity attained before the panic of 1907 or even beyond that. Men of recognized judgment and authority in the finan- cial world have voiced the conviction without reserve that the coming era of trade and industrial activity and ac- companying prosperity was to rise to new high levels.
 Speculative sentiment has not been free from anxiety over the crops and the desire to await the government report of conditions as of June 1 of the grain crops constitutes leading repressive influence marketwise.
