Irish Volunteers March Through
Dublin Streets-urgc onarse
Against Coroner.

Dublin, July 2S.-Intclfse 1eehhg
still prevails throughout Ireland as
the result of the killing Of four per-
sons and the wounding of three score
here Sunday by soldiers during an
attempt to prevent the smuggling N

eoroner's jury is expected today.
Dublin, July 2S.-Rioting broke out
again last night, but subsided with
out serious results. The rumor was
afToat that the Scottish Bor erers
would entrain at the Amiens Street
Station. A great crowd, for the most
part from the Sums, surrounded the
station. The rioters amused them
selves by stoning street cars.
Six hundred Volunteers paraded
through the streets, crowd of A.
900 following them, marching in step
and singing.
Feeling runs high Throughout Ma.
tionaiist Ireland. Town councils are
adopting resolutions denouncing "the
massacre" The soldiers of the Linz
erick and Kilkenny garr!sons are
confined to barracks, and concerts by
military ban1F in several towns have
been cancelled.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin has
called meeting of the magistrates
ito consider the action of the Castle
authorities in calling out the police
and soldiers without consulting the
city officials. The police threaten a
strike unless those members or the
department who were dismissed for
disobedience of orders are reinstated.
1t is announced here that Sir John
Ross, the police commissioner re.
signed as a protest against the sus-
pension Of Deputy Commissioner
Hanel. The Nationalists are de-
lighted as Commissioner Ross was
unpopular.
Sixteen policemen, suspended for
refusing TO obey orders, were placed
under arrest and ordered to remain
in barracks, but refused to obey.

of 81 Miles.

Watervliet,' n. Y, July 2S.-Re-
pairs to the monster sixteen-inch gun
which will he the Colossus Of the
Panama Canal Notifications ARE
nearing completion in the arsenal
here.
Some months ago the cannon,
which is the biggest specimen ordi-
nance in the world, was turned out
at Watervliet factory. Subsequent
tests at the Sandy Hook proving
station showed that its projectile
could pierce twelve-inch armer set
eleven miles away from the firing
point.
The tremendous powers Of the gun,
destined TO guard the Pacific en-
trance to the canal, are not easily
appreciated. The cannon itself is 30
feet in length, and weighs l42 tons.
It's projectiie, over 6 feet long, tips
the scales at 2,4O0 pounds. More
than a quarter Of a ton Of powder
is needed to discharge this destruc-
tive bullet. Although capable of car
rving at least So miles, this iron and
steel boned agent of death can be
accurately bulls-eye4 at % to %
miles.

ARGUMENTS BEGIN.
Open Clashes Narrowly Averted Dur.
ing Trial of Nine. Caillaux.

Paris, July 28.-Attorneys for the
prosecution today began their argu-
ments in the trial of Nine. Caiflaux,
charged with The murder OF Castor
Calmette, editor Of LIE Figaro. Had
the taking of testimony not been con-
cluded open clashes between witness
ses would not have surprised Pa
risians, from the bitterness appar-
ent during the last few days.
From the first the trial has. been in
the nature of a melodrama, verging
at times upon comedy. Spectators
mentioned by witnesses have risen in
their seats, entered into heated de-!
bates, and even hurried to the eEwit-
ness box, where they argued lace to
fate with their adversaries. These
arguments have been upon politics,
Ind every possible subject except the
shooting of Calmette by the wife of
the former premier.
Jules Herbaux, public prosecutor,
and Maitre Chenu, representing the
Ca!mette heirs, are expected to COM
plete their arguments today. Whether
Naitre Labor will deliver his ad-
dress for the defense today or to-
morrow is uncertain.
Enemies of Caillaux today denoun

TAKE BELGRADE
Servians Make No Attempt

March Out.
PROSPECTS FOR PEACE

Grievances to Conference OF Euro
pean Powers.
pean Powers.

Washington, July 2S.-Word rearhes
the Austrian embassy in Paris that
two army corps Of Austrian troops
crossed the Danube into Servian ter
litory last night. and today occupied
Belgrade, meeting with no resistance.
Unofficial reports in Berlin, Lon
don, and Paris declare a detachment
of Austrians invaded Selvia at Nit
rovitz, fifty miles northwest OF Bel
grade. The Servians, it is stated,
withdrew before the advance of the
Austrians.
Unconfrmed reports declared, it
was announced in Vienna, that hos
tilities were opened at daybreak to-
day.
Although acts of war between
Austria and Servia have occurred,
powerful influences are at work in
Europe to prevent further hosti!i
ties. They have, at least, gained a
day, and hope Of success has conse-
quently grown.
Great Britain and Russia are tax
ing the leadership in the peace plans.
The Cars government, warning Aus
tria that she must not invade Servia,
is pressing on that empire diplo-
matte formula under which Servia
would give assurances to Austria
that would not violate her national
sovereignty and which Austria would
oe able to accept without appearing
20 back down.
st. Petersburg's belief seems to be
that Russia's prompt and unmistaka-
Die attitude has brought Austria to
her senses. and it is said that the
Austrian ambassador in st. Peters
burg is trying to remove the bad i'm
preston caused by the ultimatum, de-
clal'ng that it was not an ultimatum
jut only note verbale.
The usunl friendly relations be-
tween st. Petersburg and Berlin are
undisturbed. The military prepara-
tions of Russia continue. however,
unabated. All news on the CONT
nent is being strictly censored and
practically nothing concerning mill
rary movements gets through.
Great Britain has asked Austria to
assent to the mediation of disinter-
asted powers and submit her griev-
ances to a conference. In this she is
hacked by France and Italy. Germ
any has been asked to join in this eff
fort, but has declined to interfere
with her ally.
Great Britain and France also are
endeavoring to obtain an agreement
to prevent a European war in case
Austria insists On discip!ining Servia.
Late dispatches indicate that neither
Austria, Russia or Germany has yet
shown a disposition to give guaran-
tees.
The official German attitude to-
ward the proposed mediation is un-
bopeful. Germany offers only par
tial acceptance. She accepts the prln-
eiple of mediation between Vienna
and St. Petersburg, but not between
Vienna ard Belgrade. Her effort vii
be to localize the conflict betWeeE
Austria and Servia. German official
circles insist that no action likely t.
| hamper Austrian plans has the leas'
| chance of success and the next de
velopments depend upon Russia.
