 The news of the vote in the sen ate was received by the men with groans and misses. They then sallied forth into the yard and tried to pre- vent the mail automobiles from going out. The authorities had established guards with a view to possible dis orders, but they were unable to pre- vent the postmen from over turning a machine and blocking the gateway.
 The disaffeected postment rapidly grew in numbers, and violence and the police were beaten and driven out of the building. All doors were closed and barricaded Groups of postmen stood at the windows and shook their fists at the police. The men sung revolutionary hymns. jeered the guards and continued to hold the postoffiee against all attempts to dis lodge them. The minister of com merce. Gaston Thompson. sought to induce the men to withdraw. He pointed out that the senate had voted to increase their salaries to the amount of two million four hundred thousand and that the government favored the extra allowances. The minister's words had little effect. Finally, at midnight, the men left, having accomplished their purpose of completely parafyzing the mail ser vice of the city from o'clock.

BELGIUM STEAMER STRANDED
The Gothland Strikes. on Rocks and
 Urges Assistance

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1SPATCH1
 SC1LLY, England, June 23.-The Belgium steamer Gothland from Mon treal for Rotterdam, laden with grain, struck on the rocks near Bishop Light house, off the Scilly Islands, in a dense fog this afternoon. Wireless messages for assistance speedily brought the steamer Lyonnesse from Penzance, two lifeboats from St. Marys and the steamers Ascanius and Montezuma from Lizard Head. The Gothland was badly damaged and all attempts to launch boats proved hazardous, owing to the heavy sea that swept over the reef. All 130 passengers were landed.
 The first boat fell from the davits into the sea and was smashed. The occupants were thrown into the water, but the St. Mary's life boat rescued all of them. A second boat was swung out but with no better success. Eventually all the passengers and S6 of the crew were safely transferred to the Lyon- nesse and landed at Hughtown, St Marys Island. Several of them were injured. It is feared the Gothland will prove a total wreck The captain. of- ficers and some of the crew remained on board with the St Mary's lifeboat standing by.

RATE DECISION MEANS
Continued from Page One)

by the supreme court, the rates to Phoenix from what is probably the most important producing territory cannot exceed the rates to points on the coast. On goods originating east of the zone line drawn north and south through St. Paul, Minn., a sev- en per cent increase over coast rates may be charged The increase per mitted over through rates from points east of Chicago and west of Pittsburg is fifteen per cent, and 25 per cent between Pittsburg and the Atlantic coast.
 Under the terms of the decision, all doubt as to the authority of the in terstate commerce commission to fix the difference in rates to cities at different distances is removed, and with the establishment of the new rates the saving to be effected by the opening of the Panama canal and the consequent lowering effect on ex- isting transcontinental rates will be in a large measure extended to the inter mountain states.

 famous days of Joseph in Egypt. In
 it American. initiative has been the leading string, and American en-
 gineering skill will see the enter prise to its issue.
 Portions of the Chinese provinces of Anhui and Kiangsu have known little rest from the floods and sub sequent famines for twenty-five cen
 turies. Millions of dollars have been poured into the region in a single generation. Thousands of tons of free grain have been sent in. Dikes and entertainments have been built to confine the water, but little or nothing has been done to deepen
 channels or to furnish means for the free and quick passage of the water | to the sea- 4.-,..-. '.' .'--- '.''" To all this an end is now to be put. The rivers are to be reclaimed, | all normal floods prevented, thou sands of spare miles of waste land is to be made productive, and hun
 dreds of thousands of people who are little better than paupers are to be given the means of regaining in- dependence and self-respect.
 l The first step in the negotiations that are to make this possible was
 taken in 1911 by the American Red
 Cross. After preliminary survey
 of the famine district, Charles D.
 Jameson, an American engineer, has pronounced prevention practicable,
 and China has agreed to sell bonds
 to the amount of s20,O00,O0O to fi-
 nance the measures proposed by MT. | Jameson.
 A board of five engineers is to go from this country in few weeks to
 make a more intensive study of the
 ground. It is expected that a con-
 tract for the work will be made by China with the J. G. White Engi-
 neering corporation of New York.
 The work as at present planned will
 take six or seven years.-Winthrop

 fore it seemed to be the sense of the
 commission that in view of the ur-
 gent needs of the city and the like
 lihood of indefinitely tying up legis-
 lation with respect to license taxes
 for many months, it might be better
 to repeal Ordinance No. and then
 call upon all parties concerned to
 work with the commission in per
 fecting the various clauses of anothe: quickly as possible.
 In opposing the repeal Mayor Young stated that he wished to go on record as opposing the repeal on the ground that such action is not legislation as it destroys that which the commission would construct An ordinance directing the police to ascertain whether all places of business amendable under the pres ent future license tax ordinances have paid their licenses and to re- Fort to the city collector and city auditor was adopted.

In turning down a flock of home stead papers, the United States land office at Washington grows vigorously direct in the way it lays down the rules that have been set for swearing It is another case of the proper of ficers.
 Those who are not the proper off cers are notaries public. Many affi- davits have beeen taken before such officers lately, and the result has been the unanimous refusal of the land office to accept the papers in question.
 The only men who can hear home steaders swear to their filings or as- sgnments or other papers are judge or clerk of a superior court, a judge or clerk of a United States district court, a United States commissioner, United States land office This seg- regates the correct from the incor- reect officers pretty well.
 The cases in which the most num- erous and most recent mistakes have been made are assignments of recla- nation homesteads. But the rule ap- plies equally well to other homesteads and to desert entries.

It has been reported that Villa on June 15 in formed George C. Carothers, American consular agent, that he would accept the results of the mediation conference whether Carranza should agree to
 them or not Villa, the report stated, had expressed the view that such a course would be desirable in view of
 the peculiar temperament of the Mex
 ican people and the ambitions of Car
 ranza. He said Mexico had seen
 enough suffering and that he was
 ready to accept terms that would lead to peace with honor, particularly be- cause of the threatening possibility of intervention.
 One representative of CarranZa however. said that none of the consti- tutionalist representatives now here would join in any informal mediation conference without the authorization | of the first chief. Despite the declara l. | tion by Breceda, members of the cabi- net who discussed the mediation situ- ation briefly with the president, ex- pressed a hopeful view of the situa- 1 ton. one of them asserting he saw nc clouds on the mediation horizon.

WHO HAS THE
 BEST WHEAT?
Glendale Merchants and Manufacturers Associa- tion Will Pay Premium for Highest Class Bushel at Farmers Fair

Who has the best bushel of wheat?
 It is wanted by the Glendale Mer- chants and Manufacturers Associa- tion, and they are so anxious to To- cate it that they are willing to pay a premium for it, if you will bring it to the Maricopa County Fair and Farmers Institute which is to be. held on the 10th and 11th of July, in Phoenix
 It looks as though this county fair is going to be a mighty good thing for the farmers of the famous Salt River Valley, and that it will boost the old county like nothing else can. This is one reason why every farmer should take pride in the fair and help make it one big success.
 It will pay big to get together in these Farmers Institutes and discuss the questions of general interest that may come up from time to time, ac- cording to J. E. McClain, who is doing. so much to get the people interested in the fair. He will be glad to have the help of the farmer to make this bigger and better fair than any yet held.
