Intolerance in Alsace-L Lorraine.

Tolerance is not the most important
factor in the German rule of the con-
quered provinces OF Alsace-Lorraine, as
an instance from Guebwiller shows a
merchant had his telephone number, to-
gether with his name, painted above his
door. forgetful that an ordinance passed
two years ago required an authorization
to put any legend in French on a build
ing. The merchant spelled his name
Camille" and telephone as in French,
telephone" The police soon discovered
the breach of the Law, and forthwith the
merchant received q formal letter init
mating that his name must appear as
"Camil' and telephone as "telephon. :"
otherwise he would be considered contu-
macious and treated accordingly.

The Modern Dramatist.
From the London Times.

The dramatist, as such, has mo use
for knowledge Not knowledge, but art,
is the dramatist's business. Are we not
always being reminded that the greatest
Of them all had little Latin and less
Greek? Today most of his successors,
lust to be on the safe side, are scrupu-
lous about having no Latin or Greek at
all. Some of them even carry their self
DENYING ordinance so far as to restrict
themselves to the merest smatterihg of
colloouial English An exhaustive
knowledge of anything is fatal to your
chance of having original ideas about
1t. and our new dramatists must at all
costs display originality. Not to know
too much is no doubt part Though by
no means. as some suppose, the whole
of the dramatist's secret.

Law and Geography.
From the Manchester Guardian.

From the half timers papers written at
recent term examination: Some of the
chief inventions of the last 80 years are
having an act so that no person under four
teen years must go into the public house.
Another act was SO that no person I'M
der the age of sixteen years must smoke
cigars, pipes and cigarettes and no per-
son under that age can be served with
any, NY brother Bill is now all right
for this invention. He was sixteen last
week." Here is a geography answer:

might call very good. but sometimes they
shoot the rapids, and unless you are a
red Indian this is very troublesome at
times, especially when you get sucked

MONTREAL. July 23.-The possible

list of topics, including arbitration and
affecting the status Of the strike inau-
gurated last Monday by the company s
conductors and trainmen
more serious outbreak than had been
previously reported occurring last night at
the company's station at Brockville, Ont,
caused increased activity at headquarters
Seven men were injured, none of them
seriously. in the trouble which followed
the arrival of a local passenger train
from Toronto.
Stones were thrown and the agents
Office was stormed. In it were six pri-
vate detectives. The door was bsttered
down and the officers driven out, kicked
and buffeted. The dispatcher's Office was
then attacked and the men inside ex-
PEELED. Two Of the injured were taken
to hospital. They were David Corey Of
Montreal special constable, and Ed
ward Wilcox of Toronto. conductor Of
the train. Police finally cleared the
platform. No arrests were made.
Brakemen Stoned.
The first disturbance in this city occur
red last night, when two brakemen who
were making up q train at the Point st.
Charles yards were stoned. Early today
a string of freight cars standing on a
siding here was burned. Strike leaders
say strikers were not involved.
Supt. Whittenburger of the Grand

the mayor of Brockville that unless pro-

VILE Subsequently a message was re-
ceived from Brockville stating that the
mayor had called out company Of the
local militia to guard the station and
property of the company and that order
had been restored.

TO BEGIN NEW RULE
Continued from First Page.)

denomination by progressive candidates.
That looks like an amicable understand
ing between the regulars and the pro-
gressives, and the man who is doing the
most to foster it is Editor Pillsbury of
the Manchester Union, the real practical
politician in the progressive faction, who,
along with ex-senator Chandler, believes
that it will succeed.
So the republicans are confident of
electing their two representatives in Con-
gress in November, and IL the spirit of
harmony existent upon the congressional
ticket extends to the state ticket they
have hope of the state ticket.
The Republican Platform.
After the primaries have named the
candidates, the two parties will meet in
state convention and frame their plat
forms. The republicans say they will
indorse President Taft. stand by the
tariff legislation, praise the creation of
the commission to investigate the tariff.
as a concession to the revisionists, and
make a conservative platform. That is
going to open up the question of how
the radical revisionists among the pro-
gressives will take the tariff action. Can
the platform be drawn so cannily as not
to commit the republican party to gen.
eral revision downward and yet not drive
out the men who believe that inequalities
in the tariff should be removed?
New Hampshire is a protection state,
you know. and yet there are murmur-
ings against some of the duties of the
Payne bill. They are said to be lacking
in enthusiasm in some sections for in
dorsement of high protection.
Ex-senator William Z. Chandler is in
the field, lively as the best Of the young
sters, working for republican harmony
and progressiveness.
The most conservative judgment of the
situation in New Hampshire would be
that the republicans, having threshed out
their differences between the progressives
and regulars. and the progressives having
won most signally, are intent upon trying
to smooth ont the wrinkles and save the
state from being handed to the demo-
Gratis.
1t is a situation which may yield to
diplomats political handling by the re-
publican leaders of the state, provided
they can get the rank and file to follow
their management. But it's ticklish job

BARCELONA, Spain, July 23.-Antonio
Maura leader of the conservative party,
and who as premier put down the Bar
celona riots and brought about the exc
cution Of DR.. Francisco Ferrer a year
ago, owes his escape from death perhaps
to the courage of his youthful girl
cousin, who threw herself upon the as
sailant.
1t was shortly before last midnight
that the former prime minister stepped
from a train at the Francia station,
where he arrived from Madrid en- route
to Palma. At his side was his cousin.
Suddenly from the crowd the man
Manuel Posa fired three shots.
Shot in Arm and Leg.
The first bullet pierced Senior Maura's
arm and the second found Judgment in
his leg. AS Posa fired against the wom-
an sprang upon him, spelling his aim,
and the bullet went wild.
Posa, who is but eighteen years old.
said today that he did not intend to
shoot Maura, but desired only to make
a demonstration against him. The
wounds inflicted are not regarded as
serious.
Mutiny In Prison.
MADRID, July 23.-A mutiny which
necessitated the calling in of troops to
quell it occurred at the Carcel Model,
or penitentiary, here yesterday. Nearly
5000 prisoners took part in the outbreak,
which was crushed only after three hours
efforts by the prison officials and the mil
itary.
The outbreak was a result of a series
CT severe measures put itno effect by the
director of the prison, Senior Navarro.
when he found that, contrary to the reg
ulations. many of the prisoners were sup
piled with arms, alcoholic drinks and an
archist literature. Discipline practically
had ceased to exist Early yesterday
morning, apparently as a result of a
prearranged plan, the $500 criminals
burst from their cells, the locks on the
doors of which had been broken. and
made dash for the directors Office.
Troops Sent to Prison.
The director and his assistants presented
a firm front to the attack, but were I'M
able to cope with their assailants. There
upon Senior Navarro sent word to the
military authorities, and a detachment of
troops was sent to the prison. The SOL
diers fired repeated voleyS in the air to
brighten the mutineers. and the latter
finally yielded and threw down their
arms.
Severe penalties have been melted out to
the ringleaders. and the minister of JUS
tice has ordered an investigation of the
affair The cabinet congratulated the di-
rector of the prison for the firm manner
in which he handled the outbreak.

CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. July 23-Wheat and
corn parted company today. The former
seemed bent on a downward course; corn
scared.
Rains in the Canadian northwest were
chiefly responsible for the weakness of
the wheat market. Opinion was somewhat
general that all the damage possible to
the crop this side of the International
boundary had been done. That the injury
had been fully discounted was not so
freely conceded. Absence of definite
fresh developments on the bull side of
the European crop situation operated as
a bear factor here, especially as the
drought in Russia was reported to have
been partly relieved by showers The
market opened unchanged to 5saaa lower
with September covering the entire range
at 1.O5A to LOSS. After touching LOSS.
the price rallied to los, but suffered
new decline to 1.O51a.
Liberal purchases by some of the large
local spectators and by pit traders stimu-
lated corn. Rain had failed to show where
expected in the corn belt, and there was
no lack of eagerness to take advantage
of the fact The resulting advance. how
ever met with active selling by a leading
operator and by others. The market start
ed unchanged, to sc UP, with September
at 62ss to 629s, last nights figures to Ac
above. rise to 6334 was followed by
action to 631s.
Country selling kept down oats. Septem-
Der opened Is off. at 391s, sold at 80, and
recovered to 391la393s.
Lack of buying orders let hog products
fall. At the outset the loss was to 171a.
and further declines ensued. First sales
in the September option were 21.571s for
pork 1175 for lard and 11.60 for ribs.

Not Known Who Fired Rifle.

The only witness of the affair who has
reached Washington, the Dinger boy, is
unable to say who picked up the rifle,
but he knows that some one did. AS
soon as it was picked up 1t was acct
dentally discharged and the bullet pene-
trated young Smiths head. He died
within a short time.
One story has it that one of the young
women picked up the gun, but young
Dinger, who became greatly excited when
he saw his young friend shot, Is unable to
say whether or not this Is correct. Cor
oner Shinn issued a certificate OF acc1-
dental death, but, for some unknown
reason, failed to mention the name OF
the person who had the gun Wnen II
was discharged.
Benjamins father, Addison r. Smith.
secretary to Senator Hepburn OF Idaho,
was on his way to Idaho when the acci-
dent occurred, but telegram sent to one
of the small stations on the road in
