The admits that he is producing millions of pounds of crude. rubber per annum, selling it to American manu- lecturers, and that he increased the duty on their products. when they did not need it, for protection"
 Then, referring to his own speech at Winfield, kas.. on July g. Senator Bristow said that MT. Aldrich took ex- ception to his remarks on the rubber duty especially.
 He ignores the other features of my speech" MT: Bristow said.

 New Haven, Conn, Aug. 12.-The nouncement tonight by the board of of the wage schedule of the trolleymen employed on the street railways of Worcester and Springfield, which are owned by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. it is expected, will be followed in few days by A+s-e decision of the arbitration board having in hand the settling of the wage schedule of the men employed by the Connecticut company, the hold ing company of the. trolleys in this state owned by the New Haven road.
 The conditions in Springfield and Worcester were practically She same as the conditions existing here, the com- pany having made the men an offer which was refused and a vote taken favoring a strike The matter was then placed in the hands of arbitrators. The scale as fixed by the arbitrators is larger than that which the men submitted to the company and which the company refused to grant. The maximum of that scale was s2.60 for the. sixth year and thereafter. The scale as adopted by the arbitrators gives the men $2.67 1-2.

NORWICH MEN
 IN RECORD AUTO TRIP.
From Detroit to This City Without
 Touching the Tool Box.

Driving a new 1911 four cylinder Cadillac touring car from the factory
 in Detroit, Mich; to this city, irving Watkinson and Alfred Lillibridge of the
 A. c. Swan company garage completed
 a remarkable record here on Friday in
 making the entire trip without a parti-
 cle of tire or machine trouble until
 they reached Norwich. It was practi- scally 900 miles without 8 puncture and
 they were hoping to make the record clean to the garage by arriving without
 breaking the seal of their box of new
 factory toOls but just as they were ture, making it necessary to open the box to get out the jack But they had a clean score from Detroit to Colches- ter and it is safe to say that will stand for some time.
 Seven days ago they left. the Detroit factory with the new car, not on a speed run, but just as many other drivers are doing for all parts of the United States. To sit at the wheel of a car from Detroit to this city and make the drive without once dirtying their hands over a tire or the engine makes record that Messrs- Watkin- son and LiIlibridge think will be hard to beat
 The route day by day was through Toledo to Cleveland, to Buffalo, to to Rome to Amst erdam, to Sprin gfield, to Norwich through Hart ford. They used three quarts of cylin- der oil and made fifteen miles per gall lon of gasoline. There was one rainy day through slippery mud, when they mada their s1owest time. taking two and one-half hours to go five miles in New York state.
 There we're many 1udicrous and in teresting features on the trip of which they secured a number of pictures. They stopped off at Oneida, where there was a carnival in progress, and they also had a day at Chicago and one at Niagara Fails Throughout the trip they carried two blue Cadillac flags as well as a large sign over their hood showing that they were bound from Detroit to Norwich.

SPANISH PRIME MINISTER
 GIVES HIS FUTURE PROGRAMME.
He says, "i Am in Command, Threats
 Will Not Deter Me-"

Paris, Aug 12-The Paris Temps today prints long, sensational inter view with Jose Canalejas Mendeb, the Spanish prime minister covering the recent events which eliminated in the severance of diplomatic relations between the Spanish government and the Holy See,as well as his future pro gramme, which, the paper says, the premier dictated.
 Premier Canalejas begins by declar- ing that the government in the north of Spain is directed by rich Carlists. "who are inveterate separatists and enemies of the remainder of the coun- try and fntegralists "intransigeant Catholics whose only programme is the reign Of Jesus Christi
 There is no religious question in Spain," the premier continues. Tt is simply an effort to exploit religious sentiment upon the ground, now dis proved, that the Spanish majority is clerical. The majority was indfsput- ably proved at the elections to be the governments policy. I have received 15e.ooe teelgrams urging me to con- tinue this policy. If I cannot reduce the number of orders by an agreement with the vatican. I will oy law"
 Senor canaleJas frankly says that the time has arrived when the ques- tion must be solved. If the liberals fail 8 popular explosion. he says, is sure to follow and he understands per fectIy that his adversaries wanted a rupture with the vatican in the hope that it would mean his downfall.
 The prime minister declares the re- ports that his policy is inspired by the councels of the French government and the royal family of England do great injustice to King Alfonso.
 The premieron concludes the inter view by saying that he has been min ister four times, retiring each, oc- ca sion because he could not put into practice his personal ideas. "Bnt now" he says. T have the power de sire and purpose to succeed. Threats will not deter me. l am in command. and so long a l have majority in the c0rtes and the confidence of the king. I shall remain
