once more.

said measure is now a law. What.

ed and there is rejoicing among the
slick fingered gentry of the green
cloth.
The bill as signed by Governor
Boyle, allows among other games, the
playing of stud-poker, SO long as the
house where tho game is played does
not cut the pots for it's percentage.
This offense is made felony under
the new act.
The renewal OF the game in Elko is
received with delight by large oor-
tion OF the population who think that
gambling under this new law will be
a great deal cleaner than the way tn ,
old law made matters, viz, gambling
in back rooms and in secret.
That an influx of gamblers will soon
take place to Elko from Salt Lake
and other towns in Utah was forecast
ed yesterday by a message received
by a local man from a Salt Lake
friend. The message stated that Salt
Lake people were waiting for the gov.
ernor's action and if favorable many
Salt Lakers would start the westward

ROME, March 3O.-Italy began to-
day to mass troops on the Austrian
border and it seems now that the
long looked for entrance Of Italy into
the struggle convulsing Europe is
fated to become a reality in the near
future. The peace party seems to
have lost it's power entirely and it
looks as If nothing can avert decla-
ration of war by this government.
Many people. in fact the majority of
Italian people, are clamoring for the
declaration and a mobilization Of
troops for a march on their old-time
enemies.
the offer of Austria yesterday to
cede to Italy Trent has been refused
and this by itself is a hostile act to
the Austrians. The massing of nearly
100000 troops on the Austrian border,
following so closely the refusal of the
peace offer has caused the deep

Italy was massing troops on the Aus

stated that Austria had shown her

ment that a large number of troops
were being massed was mistake, the
only troops on the northern border

FOLK TO LECTURE ON
OUR CHAUTAUQUA.
One of Americas Most Trusted Officials
to Bring to us His Message,
"Soldiers Of Peace"

One of the most important announce
ments regarding tie program for our
Chautauqua is that the Hon. Joseph
w. Folk, formerly governor of Missou-
ri, Is to lecture here. He will give
Soldiers of Peace" which is said to
be his strongest address.
Governor Folk has hnd remarkable
political career. Since his advent into
the political iife of sIissouri that state
has been revolutionized. OF recent
months his service as chief counsel for
the Interstate commerce commission in
Washington has reflected additional
credit upon him and given him oppor-
tunity to serve the people in a still
broader way. Folk is essentially a
man of the people. When one hears
him lecture there Is no forgetting the
calm, dispassionate, but convincing
manner of the man. He does not
shrek. He does not saw the air with
gestures. He does not "de,laim." He
simply has something TO say, and he
says 1t. But he says it in u way that
is all his own. He says 1t in way
that holds the breathless interest of
his audience, who shout with laughter
at his calm play of humor and applaud
his equally calm declaration ~ princi-
pies that mean the betterment of the
American people.
There are few men in this country
today who have the confidence of the
people in the same measure that Jo-
seph W. Folk enjoys it. And there is
reason 1t is because he has never
played false with the public. One may
disagree with him on political ques-
tons, but no one can disagree with
him on his attitude on questions of
right and wrong. And on those ques-
tions Folk is neither n Democrat nor
Republican--no anything else that
denominates party. He Is simply an
honest man, who strives always to do
his duty.
Soldiers of Peace" is Il great lecture
1t is a lecture that every one should
hear 1t does not indulge in any he
roics, but it teaches the duty of citi-
zenship so clearly, so tersely that every
one who hears him is bound to be help
ed in some measure. He does not
come to Chauauqua as a politician.
His message does not smack of party.
He comes rs nm American, and it Is
probable that the tent Will have ca

Washington July 30.-American mar

Wednesday night encountered resist
ance which was overcome without
casualties among the sailors. The
following message from Admiral Caper
ton was received az the navy depart
ment late yesterday: Landing forces
established in the city. Slight resist
ance easily overcome. No casualties
to our force Am proceeding to dis
arm liaytian soldiers and civilians to-
day"
The message was the first intima-
ton received by the navy department
that Caperton's men from the cruiser
Washington had met resistance. Prev
ous dispatches merely said he had
established his landing force ashore
and placed a guard about the French
legation His first report however,
suggested that regiment of marines
be sent to Port-au-Prince to enable
him to police the entire city.
Admiral Capertons force was in
creased yesterday by the arrival OF
100 marines from Guantanamo on the
collier Jason. In all he has available
between 400 and 500 marines and blue
jackets for shore duty, backed up by
the guns of the cruiser. No arrange
ments had been made last night to
send him additional marines. The
French cruiser Descartes reached
Port.au-Prince from Cape Haytien yes
terday. A small force from the Unit
ed States survey yatch Eagle was
landed at the latter place. to guard
the French consulate which has open
cd it's doors to refugees from Port-au'
Prince
Officials said no instructions had
been forwarded to Admiral Caperton
and representations had been made
by the French government regarding
the violation of the French consulate
at Pout.au-Prince. Several weeks ago
French marines were landed at Cape
liatyien from the Desoartes to pro
tect foreigners during the outbreak
there, Upon the arrival of Admiral
Caperton the marines we're with
drawn and the task of guarding life
and property of foreigners was turn
ed over to the United States. The
American and French commanders
are expected TO cooperate in arrange
ments for protecting foreigners at
Port.au-Pr.uce. No adivecs have
reached Washington regarding the
status of the government in llayti
since the assassination of President
Guillaume 1t is assumed the rebels
are in control.
