Tobacco Trust Illegal.

Washington.-The government has
won a sweeping victory over the So
called "tobacco trust" when the SUI
preme court of the United States held
the American Tobacco company and its
allied corporations to be operating in
violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
By directing that the combination be
forbidden the privilege of interstate
commerce or be placed in the hands of
a receiver unless it disintegrates in
harmony with the law within six, or,
at the most, eight months, the court
is regarded to have dealt with the
tobacco corporations more drastieally
than with the Standard Oil Company
of New Jersey, the dissolution of which
was ordered two weeks ago.

SHUTDOWN OF B. C. COAL MINES
Crows Nest Situation Discouraging-
Cancellation Commission Adjourns.

"The situation in the Crows Nest
Pass country is most discouraging, !"
says Lorne A. Campbell of Coleman,
Alberta. Everything indicates that
there will be no resumption of opera
tion in the coal mines for several
months. The action of DR.. Gardner
chairman of the government concilia-
ton commission, in adjourning the SEES
sions of that board for several weeks,
to suit his own convenience, is not the
least discouraging feature of the situa-
ton.
'The executive of the United Mine
Workers of America is utterly unrea-
sonable. Though the men, both at
Coleman and Frank, are willing to re-
turn to work on terms which the mine
operators there are prepared to con
cede, the executive will not permit
them. There is, consequently, nothing
for the operators to do but to fight this
question out to a finish, so that when
they do resume it will be under an
agreement covering a period of five
years instead Of two years, as hereto
fore. With two months of the present
two-year term already expired, it would
be utterly foolish to start up the mines
again, with no assurance that they
would run longer than the balance of
that term.
"Another matter which makes it
probable that the strike will be long
continued is the fact that all the Brit
ish Columbia smelters now have ar
ranged for supplies of eastern coke.
This will obviate the necessity of clos
ing them and all the principal operating
mines of southeastern British Columbia,
and will relieve the combatants of the
onus of putting a complete stop to in
dustry in that section while they are
fighting out their quarrel.
CRANKY Shelter Closed.
Grand Forks, B. C.-The furnaces of
the CRANKY smelter are dead. Some
30 men, mostly mechanics, are all that
are being kept at work. The com
pany's mines at Phoenix have ceased
shipping ore, and the majority of the
men are laid off. Notices are posted at
the mines that work will be resumed
June Is.
The CRANKY is procuring coke from
Cowansville, Pa, an order having been
placed for 10000 tons, and w. A
Williams, manager at the works, states
that if there is not a settlement of the
Crows Nest labor trouble before thi:
supply is exhausted the company will
continue to procure coke from the east

HE WOULD CHOOSE WAR
Theodore Roosevelt Stirring Address in
New York City.

New YOrk-Theodore Roosevelt stood
beside General Daniel E. Sicl1les, the
only surviving corps commander of the
civil war, at Grant IS tomb, Decoration
day, and aroused Memorial day throng
to long applause by the denunciation of
"false apostles of peace" He referred
to the days of 1861 when, he said, the
veterans he addressed defed the lie
told in the name Of peace; he voiced
his faith in peace only as the hand
maiden of justice, and, with vigorous
gestures, stirred the gathering to tu-
multuous cheers with the declaration
that unrighteous peace was a greater
evil than war

INTENSE HEAT IN THE EAST
Lower Ohio Valley Region and Vermont
Gasps-Six Men at Detroit Drowned.

More temperature records for May
were broken Sunday in the lower Ohio
valley region, where Louisville, KY, and
Evansville, Ind, tied for first honors at
% degrees. Even in mountainous Yer
mont, COS were common, for hot wave
stretched all over the Atlantic states.
The Ohio and Mississippi valley, the
lower lake regions and the eastern gulf
of Mexico states also were hot, while it
was freezing in northern Oregon and
frosts cropped out in the Dakotas and
westward.
Seeking relief from the heat, six men
lost their lives in Detroit while swim
ming.
Two more persons, making five in "a
hours, were drowned at Toledo as a re-
suit of trying to escape from the torrid
sun.

PORTUGAL ELECTIONS SUNDAY
Polling for Seats in Constituent As
sembly Is Heavy; Perfect Order
Prevailed

Lisbon, Portugal-Perfect order pre-
vailed Sunday at the elections for the
constituent assembly, which were held
throughout the country in 30 or the SO
constituencies. The seats were disputed
by candidates of Independent parties
In the other constituencies, the regular
republicans were unopposed.
The monarchists abstained from put
ting forward candidates, declaring the
elections presented no guarantee of lib
erty or sincerity. Instead, they circu
lated all sorts of rumors of counter
revolution, an armed invasion by way
of the Gallieian frontier, and similar at
tempts against the government.

TAFT SPEAKS AT WASHINGTON
Friend of Peace and An Enemy of
War.

Washington.-Under the shaded arch
es of the Washington National ceme-
terry, President Taft, on Decoration
day, spoke not so much as the friend
of peace, but as the enemy of war.
Thousands of veterans tramped the hot
asphalt of the streets, crossed the
Potomac and trudged dusty roads to
Arlington to hear the president speak.
Thousands of others came in automo-
biles and by streetcars, and when Mr..
Taft, with Secretary of War Stimson,
came whizzing past the uncovered
amphitheater there were fully 10000
people in the seats and crowded about
the speaker IS stand.
1t was probably the most largely
attended Memorial day celebration
Washington has ever seen.

the demand strong, and good prices are
looked for, at least as high as those
ruling last year.

MEXICAN WAR COST
FIRST To RECEIVE ATTENTION
OF new PRESIDENT DE LA
BARRA'S CABINET.
Diplomats Estimate Cost at SIC, 000, 900
Gold-Americans Suffered Half the
Loss-Claims Arranged F'or-China's
Big Government Has S62,4s3,-
116 on Hand.

Mexico City.-Measures for the ulti-
mate disbanding of the insurrecto
army and for payment of the costs of
the war were the matters to which the
new executive devoted his attention
Saturday. President de la Barra pro-
poses to dissolve the revolutionary
force, using portion of them to aug
ment the army of General Diaz. The
remainder will be given assistance to
get employment or to return to their
homes, and all will be paid off as though
having been mustered out of the regu-
lar army.
President de la Barra is considering
measure for immediate protection for
all claims made and proved against the
government. 1t is proposed that COM
mittee of five be named to pass upon
all claims as soon as they are presented
by those properly qualified. A clause
will authorize the immediate payment
of such claims as are approved.
Put Cost at $4,000, 900.
Diplomats estimate the war has
cost not less than 100000 900 gold, and
that perhaps one-tenth of this is due
to damages sustained by foreigners
Half of this amount is said, on high
authority, to be loss suffered by Ameri-
cans.
In the legations foreigners have al
ready begun arranging claims, although
the greater part remains to be fled.
The claims of China, will be remarkable
for the number of individuals demand
ing indemnity. Almost all of these
will come from Sonora and Coahuila,
where the Chinese were victims of mobs
Reports from Torreon received by the
Chinese legation say the number of
dead in the massacre there May 16 was
23s.
Most of the victims were compare
lively poor, and those surviving have
found difficulty in supplying themselves
with food. The Chinese in the capital
have opened a subscription fund to aid
their countrymen. The claims of
Japan will be based on the death of
seven japanese in Torreon.
Cash Resources.
The portfolio of the department of
finance was delivered to Ernest Ma
dero of Monterey, whose nephew is
Francisco l. Madero. He Immediately
took charge of the department, and
has been intrusted with cash resources
of the nation as follows, in Mexico
City:
On hand in various government of
fees, 2,69s, 125; on hand in treasury,
$12,63s, O95; on hand in banks and
banking houses, $27,146,s96. Total,
$62, 4s3, Ills.
Just prior to the administration of
the oath to Mr.. Madero the diplomatic
corps officially paid its respects to the
new president. Henry Lane Wilson,
American ambassador, as dean of the
corps, delivered the address, which was
responded to by President de la Barra.

$3,OOO,0O0 LOSS In NEW YORK
WHEN 200 BUILDINGS 60
UP IN SMOKE.
Flames, Swept by Wind, Visible for Is
Miles-zoo Animals in Panic-One
Lion Escaped, but Was Shot-Car-
cass Torn to Pieces by Souvenir
Hunters.

New York.-A 100000 fire broke
out at Dreamland, a Coney Island
amusement park Saturday night. In all
about 200 buildings were burned down
and perhaps 1000 persons-concession
aries and employes-were turned into
the streets homeless and penniless. No
lives were lost.
All Dreamland-10 acres of closely
packed buildings-was destroyed. The
flames, urged by strong wind, were
visible for nearly Is miles. Close to
Hellgate," where the fire started
was the Bostoek animal circus, and
nearer yet the infant incubator, char
ity nursery, in which were six wee in
fants and their attendants. The chill
dren were taken out in their little
glass houses and rushed out of danger
by the police.
Then came the work of taking out the
animals, a costly collection, including
several dangerous maneaters. The ami
mails were in a panic. Their roaring
could be heard for many blocks above
the thrObbing of the engines. The
trainers lost no time. While police
men with drawn revolvers stood at the
entrance to guard the crowd in the
streets against any beasts that might
escape, the attendants drove their
charges from the cages down the run
ways into the emergency vans, which
are always ready.
Big Lion Gets Away.
All went well until the transfer was
nearly concluded, then the biggest of
the lions, in panic, broke from his
bonds, smashed his way through the
barriers and leaped into the street al.
ready packed by a throng of specta-
tors He dived straight into the mid
lie of the throng. CONSERVATION seized
the multitude, and the crowd rushed
pellmell in all directions.
A mounted policeman came at the
crouching beast in the center of the
wide avenue with drawn revolver
Twice he shot and twice missed, the lio1
backing away from the glare and nois,
of the explosions. Then six more
mounted policemen lined up in from
of the crowd and opened a fusillade
Backing away, snarling and leaving Z
trail of blood from many wounds, thu
lion made his way across the avenu,
into the dark wooden tunnels of tn,
Rocky Road to Dublin In a blacl
corner, beneath painted scenery o.
equatorial Africa, he made his las
stand. Three final volleys were re
quired to finish him, and he sank to tn,
ground riddled like a sieve. To maxi
sure that he was dead one of the pc
licemen pulled down FIRE AK iron
behind the scenery and knocked thu
skull in two.
AS soon as the crowd was assure,
that the lion was no more thay rushe,
in and literally tore the carcass to bit
for souvenirs. The first man on tn
scene took a tasseled tail; the thre
next divided the long name, and so mel
fought among themselves for the homo
of possessing one of his teeth.

Steel Cars Save Lives.

Steel Cars Save Lives.
The train consisted of baggage car,
a diner, three day coaches and one tour
ist coach and one Pullman. All left
the rails but the Pullman and the diner.
All were steel cars, and this fact, ac-
cording to railroad men, is all that
saved the lives of the others on board.
They claim that ordinary cars derailed
in the cut must inevitably have been
shattered. The coaches escaped prac-
tically without damage.
The walters and the baggageman were
in the baggage care when the crash
came. The engine, passenger locomo-
tive of the 72-inch driver type, imbed.
ded itself in the bank.
The oil tank was hurled through the
air 40 feet ahead, and the water tank
following in it's wake landed beside the
half buried locomotive.
Car Leans Into Air.
Following this came the baggage car,
which leaped into the air and crashed
down on the engine.
The men inside were rolled around
among the mass of trunks and all were
seriously hurt Escaping steam and
water so scalded Parker that his life
is despaired of.
AS soon as possible the injured were
rushed to Ellensburg on special train
made up at the scene of the wreck.
The other cars jammed themselves
into the narrow space between the
walls of the cut until they blocked the
way completely and the last cars kept
their places on the rails.
Engine Turns on Side.
The engine turned on its right side
and the tender and four of the steel
coaches climbed over it. The tender
was turned over and thrown so feet,
while the mail and baggage were thrown
100 feet and the day coach was stood
on end, the top coming to the top of
the cut.
The engineer s body was dug out be-
tween the end of the day coach and
the tourist.
One passenger had seven teeth knock
ed out.

it to leave the track is the subject of
speculation. Passengers estimate its
speed at the time of the accident from
25 TO 60 miles an hour. At the high
