POLICEMEN GUARD
LORD DEVONPORT
Would-be Assassins Lurk
Behind Trees in Park
Near Home.
PRAY FOR HIS DEATH
Indifferent TO the Dangers Which Be-
set Him, He is as Determined in the
Stand He Has Taken.

Special to the Gazette.
London, July 25-Twenty-four
policemen mounted guard over Lord
IDevonport's residence today. Armed
men lurk behind every tree and
shrub in the park which surrounds
lit.
Another detail patrols the approaches
to the park. Lord Devonport Is the
employer for whose death thousands
of striking dockworkers prayed
publicly on Tower Hill yesterday
Scotland Yard fears an attempt to
assassinate him.
Lord Devonport, who as chairman
of tic Port of London won the
strikers hatred by refusing to move
an inch toward settlement OF the
struggle, is as determined as ever 10
day, though it. is said he is deeply
perturbed by yesterdays demonstra-
ton of the intensity OF the iceling
against him. A charitable and kind
ly man in private life, he is or the
old school of English captains ol
industry and unquestionably 1eeiS
his very religion involved in the em
ployer's complete victory over the
dock-workers. TO the danger or as
sassination he is Indifferent, but TO
have an immense throng pray with
obvious sincerity and reverence ior
stroke from heaven to kill him has
disturbed him seriously.
Public sentiment is turning strong
in the strikers favor because the
evidences of their own and their lam-
lilies frightful suiferings cannot but
create the utmost horror and compass
| ion.
In support of the dock-workers'
other unions are beginning to talk
today of sympathetic strikes when
NAV ultimately become general. The
government is alarmed at the out
look.

Uniontown, Pa, July 25.-The rising
waters have claimed at least three
more vistims, making the death list
here II, according to fire boss William
Stevens of the Lamont Mine today
Stevens said that more than hum
dred men were working in the Lamont
Mine when the rising waters flowed
into the diggings yesterday. Ninety
one men escaped and several others
have been accounted for but that three
of the men are dead, is practically
certain.
Estimates by mining experts today
were that it would probably be two
months before the dead bodies of IA
miners in Superba Mine No. 2 can be
recovered. 1t is thought that the
rushing waters swept the men posslb-
" 1000 feet back into the bore OF the
underground workings.
Today telephone and telegraph wires
to many stations of the two states are
down, railroads and trolley lines are
washed away, hundreds of miles OF
low lying ground is still under water.
Rescue parties are endeavoring to re-
cover dead bodies and defend their
homes against the still rising wat
ers.
Dunbar, a town of 5000 also on the
Tayette county watershed, was swept
by floods which covered the streets
with six feet Of water and wrecked
homes and stores. Four Baltimore
and Ohio bridges, the magnificent
Pennsylvania Railroad bridge and eV-
cry trolley road in the district was de-
molished. :
In the Bedstone Valley about 81
miles from Uniontown, more than SIX
hundred families awoke today on the
muddy hillside under makeshlft shell
ters of blankets, quilts, boards and
straw.

AGAINST Justice Daniel Thew Wright,
President Gompers of the American

in reference to the recent sentencing

In a signed editorial in the current
issue of the American Federatlonlst,
Gompers declared:
"Justice Wright discloses the men

masters owned the worHmen who were
their slaves or serfs, and the master
had some form Of property or proper
ty right in his slave or sert.
"As lineal descendant OF the KING
or his representatives, the chancellor
Justice Wright, undertook to deny the
workers of our time their equality be-
fore the law, their rights guaranteed
by the constitution of our country.
"Justice Wright would forbid that
men even criticized judge or his de-
cision. He would place judicial non

discussion. In so doing he is prop
agating dangerous dogma, for there
is no theory more subversive to demo

RUSSIA TAKES ADVANTAGE
OF CHINRS UNSETTLED STATE

PEKING, January S.-Two impor-

Of Shen Chow, and advancing on Ho
Nan, while re-enforcements have
been dispatched to the imperialists.
The armistice has not been renewed,
and as there is a deadlock in the
peace negotiations early fighting is
expected.
In addition to requesting China to
recognize the Kutuktu OF Urga az
monarch of outer Mongolia, the Rus
sian government has notified China
that the independence of outer Mon
golia, as far as concerns internal af-
fairs, must be recognized at once. The
note adds that Russia will assist the
MUngolians in maintaining order, and
intends to build railway from Kia-
whta, Siberia, to Urga. Henceforth,
China will not be permitted to main
tain military forces or send colonists
to outer Mongolia, but may retain
control of external relations. To
this note China has made no reply

The German merchants of South
America, jealous of American intru-
sion, were also hostile. There we're
some Colombians who, from patriotic
motives, desired that their country
should not surrender its sovereignty
over the canal zone, and lastly it was
urged that if Colombia would wait
year the French concession would
lapse by the time forfeiture clause
and then Colombia could demand the
$40,00O,000 which the French company
was asking the American government
to put up.
The speaker went into the details of
canal construction and paid an elo-
quent tribute to the sanitation of the
canal zone, which is now healthier
than three-fourths of the American cit
les. Not case of yellow fever had
been reported there since 1906
The work that now remains TO be
done is on the locks, the spillways and
the approaches to the harbors to
either side.
McKinlay declared that the lock type
canal was a necessity, even if the
canal had been built for a sea level
one, owing to the difference between
the tidal rise and fail on the two
coasts
As a factor in the development Of
the trade of the Orient the speaker
declared the canal would be great. He
placed the construction of the Panama
canal as the greatest physical achieve
ment of man, surprising the building
of the Suez canal or the pyramids.
He referred to the coming eXposi-
ton in this city and said that Presi'
dent Taft had told him he wanted San
Francisco selected as the exposition
I city because of its position facing the
Orient. where America must seek a
market for it's surplus manufactures.

test will be made by the Chinese gov

The statement that Russia will as.
sist In maintaining order i'm outer
Mongolia probably means that she
will increase the number of troops in
that territory which heretofore have
served merely as consular guards. It
is believed that several railroads will
be constructed after the Kiakhta- Urga
line, and that much of the country
will be developed.
Russias permission to China to re-
tain control of its external affairs Is
meaningless, because practically there
are no dealings with any country ex.
cept Russia The general opinion
here is that the Chinese government
really suffers nothing from the loss
of Mongolia, although Russia and the
Mongolians probably will be greatly
benefited Russias position in Mon
golia is now stronger than in Man
churia.
Picking officials look for British ac-
ton in Thibet at later date, as it
is believed unlikely that Russia has
taken the present step without pre-
viously consulting Great Britain and
Japan. Inner Mongolia has been left
undisturbed.
