DREADNOUGHT OF
AUSTRIA A FAILURE

VIENNA, July 11.-Despite official
denials, reports are persistent in cir
culation that the construction of the
first Austrian dreadnaught, the s12,.
100000 Viribus Unitius, has proved a
complete failure. The warship is top
heavy, and all efforts TO tighten her
so far have proved unsatisfactory.
Massive portions of iron and steel
turrets have been scaled down to such
a degree that certain parts have
buckled and have had to be re-en-
forced with iron plates.
Steel rollers for raising and lower
ing. heavy guns have been drilled out,
thereby reducing their weight, but
at the same time lessening their
power of resistance to such an ex-
tent that in the event of the rapid
firing of the guns the rollers will
collapse and render the guns useless.

SULTAN OF MUSCAT
ADOPTING PLAN TO
END ARMS TRAFFIC

LONDON, June 25.-It is under
stood that the regulation of the arms
traffic in his territory by the Sultan
OF Muscat, which was foreshadowed
some months ago in the Monitor, has
low been instituted on a regular
basis.
According to Reuters Agency a no.
LITIGATION has been issued by the Sui
tan in which the present system of
keeping large stocks of arms and am
munition stored without proper con-
troll in private buildings in the town
of Muscat is condemned and the an
nouncement is made that, in order to
do away with this condition of affairs,
his highness has arranged to estab-
lish warehouse in which arms and
ammunition will be stored under
proper precautions.
On and after Sept, next all. arms
dealers in the territoN of the Sultan
will be required to Geposit in the
warehouse any stocks remaining i'll
their hands on that DATE No arms
will be permitted to leave the ware
house without a license nor until duty
has been paid on them in the usual
way, and licenses will only be issued
on the production of satisfactory
proof that the destination of the arms
and ammunition is open to no objec-
ton. 1t is further notified that all
arms leaving the warehouse will be
marked.

EFFECT OF PANAMA
CANAL UPON BRITISH
EMPIRE DISCUSSED

LONDON, Eng, June 25.-A paper
was read recently by DR.. Vaughan
Cornish on THE Panama Canal and
It's Relation to the British Empire at
the Whitehall rooms
The chair was taken by Lord Bras
sey, who opened the meeting with a
short address. He was followed by
DIR. Cornish, who referred to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain.
He said that by this treaty the United
States undertook that the canal
should be opened on terms of entire
equality to ships of all nations, wheth-
er. merchant ships or ships of war,
during times of peace or during hos
tilitieS.
The effect of the Panama canal on
the British empire would lie to a
great extent on the enormous reduc-
ton of sea distances. The future
would witness the establishment by
British and European companies of
services from European waters to New
York and San Francisco, via the ca
nal; and on to Asia, connecting with
other ships of the same line at Hong
Kong.
The British West Indies would be-
come, at the opening of the canal, of
first-rate Importance, both from a
strategic and commercial point of
view, for they would no longer be at
the entrance of cul de sac but on a
great highway of commerce.

TALKS
GOOD EVIDENCE

san FRANCISCO. Cal. July TO-
Telephone conversation. If otherwise
admissible. may he admitted as evil
denee in California courts as a result
Of decision handed down by the State
Supreme Court yesterday reversing a
nonsuit granted the Western Union
Telegraph Company by the lower court
In an action brought against it by the
Union Construction Company for dam
ages arising from the alleged negli-
gence of the company in failing TO
deliver kilograms to the plaintiff.
In laying down this rule, the court
referred to the vast volume OF business
transacted by means of the telephone,
and in this particular case, where the
agents of the plaintiff called up the
telegraph company to inquire if tele-
grams for them had been received and
were answered in the negative. there
was sufficient circumstantial evidence
to make a prima -faeie case of identity
and authority
Rule for Phone Talks.
The general rule from the decisions
in ether States" said the decision, lis
that where it is known that the witness
called up the other party at his place
of business. through the central sta
ton with which both were connected
and received response as in the usual
course of business over the telephone,
this is sufficient prima facie identifi-
cation of the speaker at the other end
Of the line as the party called, or his
authorized agent, and that, upon such
proof, the ensuing conversation, if 9TH
erwise admissible, may be testified to
by the witness. 1t is proper to add
that the weight of such evidence de-
ponds largely upon the circumstances
of each case and is always a question
for the trial court or jury
According to the Supreme Court, the
lower court erred in excluding the
evidence of two agents of the con-
struction company relating to tele-
phone conversation with the San Fran
cisco Office of the telegraph company.
In. the case in question the plaintiff
had an option with the Risdon Iron
Works for a contract for pipe line on
the Stanislaus river for $143. 900.
Time Limit on Deal.
The night on which the option .ex-
pired. January s, 1907, the company's
engineers wired the San Francisco
agent of the company and also the
manager in Tuolumne county to close
the deal
The manager was in San Francisco,
and accordingly notice was forwarded
by wire to him. Both kilograms were
received in the evening at the San
Francisco Office, but were not delivered
until after o'clock the following
morning, by which time the Risdon
Iron Works had raised the price $751;
600. Telephone inquiry at the tele-
graph Office ELECTED the response that
there was no telegram there, this be-
ing subsequently, disproved.

BERLIN, June 25.-The disappear
ance of Finland as an autonomous
state has brought the Russian empire
to the very frontiers of Sweden, and
the building of the railways from
Helsingfors to Tornea and from vi
borg right across the grand duchy is
regarded with some apprehension in
that country.
In this connection some articles
which have appeared lately in the
Reichsbote, a Luthern Conservative
organ, are of interest. The journal
advocates the formation of an agree
ment or league between Germany and
the Scandinavian states, having for
object mutual aid and protection in
the event of war with Russia. 1t also
points out the economic and -defens-
i've advantages of such a union, as
we'll as the political importance
which it would lend to the northern
states.

MITCHELL TO JAIL
vlcE.PREsIpENT OF FEDERATION
OF LABOR is SENTENCED az
JUDGE WRIGHT.
NINE MONTHS in PRISON
Gompers and Morrison Have Already
Been Disposed OF In Contempt
Cases and Have Appealed to the
District Court Of Appeals.

Washington, July 25.-InA the Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court Tues
day John Mitchell, vice-president OF
the American Federation OF Labor.
was. sentenced to nine months impris-
onment for contempt of court growing
out Of the Bucks Stove and Range
company case.
An appeal was taken and $4,000 bail
furnished.
In the same case President Samuel
Gompers recently was sentenced to
one year and Secretary Frank Nor
rison to six months imprisonment.
The, three labor men were accused
of having published a boycott after
the District of Columbia supreme
court had issued an order against It.
Once before they were sentenced
for contempt on another count in the
same case and the United States
Supreme court reversed the finding
of the district Judge. The antagon-
ism between union labor and the
Bucks Stove and Range company has
disappeared since the death OF Robert
A. Van Cleve, president Of the stove
company, who led bitter war on
unions for a number Of years. 5I
Mr.. Mitchell was not In court, but
sent written statement waving his
right to be present, He was to have
been sentenced last week. but Justice
Wright then declined to pass sentence
because he objected to the form OF
waiver submitted for Mr.. Mitchells
Some time ago Mitchell declined to
give to Judge Wright Of the district
supreme court any assurance that he
expected hereafter to lend adherence
to the DEGREES OF the judicial trio-
unals OF the land"
To do SO, he declared, would be an
admission that he had heretofore
failed to comply with lawful DEGREES.
Mr.. Mitchell said he had rather be
convicted OF contempt than be acquit-
ted on any other ground than the
facts in the case.
