and well preserved castle of Carnar-
von today the young Prince of Wales
was invested with the insignia of his
high Office.
The quaint town in festal attire made
a holiday and drew within its borders
thousands cf Welshmen from the sur
rounding country.
The weather was matchless and two
hours before the arrival of their ma
jesties with the prince, great crowds
had gathered along the route from
Griffith's crossing. where the royal
party alighted to the castle gate. The
decorated. Troops, blue jackets and
marines kept open the way through
which the procession passed. In the
vicinity of the castle a thousand Lon
don police and fremen held an open
place. The scene within the castle was
picturesque.
The scene within the castle was pic
turesque, the vast enclosure within the
towers and battlement walls forming
an ideal setting for the ceremonial.
The outer and inner baiieys were lined
with stands, enabling several thousand
persons to obtain an excellent view
Their majesties and the prince re-
ceived an enthusiastic reception.
The American embassy was repre-
sented at the investitures by Secretary

SUGAR HIS TEXT.
Senator BristOW, in a Speech in
the Senate,
DenOunceS Alliance Between
Democrats and Standpatters.
PROTECTS THE TRUSTS
And RObs the Farmer With In
suIting InsOlence.
Says the House Is Playing a
Game of Politics.

Washington, July 13.-In a speech in
support of his amendement to the Ca
madam reciprocity bill, providing for a
reduction of the duty on sugar, Sena-
tor Bristow of Kansas, a Republican
insurgent. today denounced what he
characterized as an alliance of GER
tain standpat Republican senators with
the Democrats, to pass the measure
and permit the inequalities of the tar
iff to remain
He referred to the bearing of this
legislation on the coming national cleo
tions, intimating the Democrats might
use their record in the house on this
issue to urge Speaker Champ Clark
for the presidency.
IF this had been an honest effort
to relieve the American people from
the burdens of excessive tariff taxation,
the high duties on trust controlled pro-
ducts would have been first attacked :
he said But the sugar trust, the
American Woolen company, the steel
trust the smelters' trust, the rubber
trust, and all of these great concerns
that have monopolized the American
market and used high protective duties
to charge excessive prices to the Amer
icaa people, are left untouched, while
the president of the U lited States and
the Democratic majority in both
branches of congress have Joined in an
attack on the duties of the agricultural
schedule-duties that have never been
a burden to the American people, be-
cause they have never materially in
creased the price of the products or
which they were imposed.
Democratic leaders have for half q
century made violent attacks on the
duties that protect the manufacturing
barons' of the east, but now when they
have an opportunity to relieve the peo-
pie of the burdens of which they have
so bitterly complained, they refuse to
do it.
1.-THE combination on this floor be-
tween certain standpat Republicans,
representing great manufacturing
states, and a majority of the Demo-
Gratis, has, we are told. decided tha-
no amendments shall be attached to
this Canadian bill and that soon after
il is passed. congress is to adjourn
This combination is to visit its wrath
upon the farmer and give the trust a
chance to escape any immediate dis
rurA ance.
IF the plan succeeds. the standpat-
ters save their high duties on manu-
factured articles: the president gets

MICHIGAN SITUATION IMPROVED
Wind Has Dropped to Ten Miles an
Hour in Most Sections.

Detroit. July 13.-The forest fire sit
uation throughout northern Michigan
appears to be generally improved to-
day with the wind dropping below ten
miles an hour in most sections The
village of Legrand, however, in She
boygan county is reported surrounded
by flames with communication cut off
Hillman, in Alpena county, is also
said to be threatened today.
A report from Grand Rapids tells OF
the death of a woman and two wood
choppers in Antrim county and it seems
inevitable that the death list will con-
tinue to grow as returns are received
from isolated districts. At Au Sable
and Oscoda, a patrol of the Lake HUI
ron beach has been organized to
search for the bodies of victims who
may have drowned when driven into
the water by the flames.
Women and children stood in the
lake in some instances, three and four
hours. submerging themselves when
ance. Many of these people report that
thev saw a number of persons on the
docks when the lumber piles began to
erumble and fall into the water but
among the Au Sable and Oscoda, refu-
gees none have been found who had
been on the docks. The more conserv
aJVe. however, believe that all were
saved The number of burned bodies
round at Oscoda and Au Sable was
three, as reported yesterday. Reports re-
celVed today from the region between
Alpena and Sheboygan indicate that
tue town OF Milersburg was almost en-
tirely destroyed Tuesday night and
tnat half of Tower is gone.

VICTIMS OF BRIGANDS
EXPERIENCE OF TWO GERMANS
 IN ATLAS MOUNTAINS.
Held Prisoners by a Moorish Chief tain, Their Lives Were Saved
 by Payment of Ransom.

Two German engineers, Herr Wag- ner and Herr Sintes, while prospect ing recently in the Atlas Mountains, had a narrow escape from death at the hands of Moorish brigands. De- scribing the adventure, Herr Wagner states:
 While we were on the way to Tarndant, near Mount Elmue, a band of thirty brigands surrounded us, and pointing their rifles, demanded $20O. Sintes and I tried to come to an ami cable settlement by offering to leave our two mules as guarantee in their hands while we fetched the money from Tarndant and reclaimed the ami mals.
 "But the brigands refused and, keeping their rifles pointed at us, drove us along the toughest conceiv- able paths into the hills till we ar rived at a lonely house belonging to Sheikh Ali, captain of the band. Our Moorish servants were then plum dered, stripped of their clothes, and turned adrift naked.
 "One brigand wanted to cut of my servants finger to obtain possession of an almost worthless silver ring fixed firmly on it. But the servant rescued the finger by tearing of the ring with his teeth. The brigands then placed us in a room four yards square, and fed us on bread and wa ter for five days. We slept on the earthen floor.
 "On the fifth day, the brigands hay ing taken nearly all our clothes, the chief, with four followers, removed us to a deep, damp cellar where it was dark day and night. On the sixth day the brigand chief again appeared with several followers, bearing jug of water and two long sharpened knives, and informed us he had sent the Kaid of Tarndant an ultimatum that unless ransom of $500 was paid before o'clock next morning, both of us would be beheaded with the knives.
 "They departed, locking the door, and leaving us to ponder on our ap- preaching fate. Shortly before 3 o'clock we heard noise outside the door, and the Sheikh of Menisla and Mulai Amman, friend of the Kaid of Tarndant, appeared with the brigand chief They told us the ransom was paid, and we were liberated hurriedly.
 "We left the place with our two mules along paths so rough that we were unable to mount. We were obliged to walk the whole distance. Sintes tainted from exhaustion sew eral times, and we were obliged to carry and drag him the last part of the way to Menisla."
