Therefore let Tang-Shao-Yi receive the rank of president of the government board and proceed to the United States."

Digs Bait When Master Picks Up His Pishing Rod. That Charles IL Martin has the smartest dog in the State of Delaware is vouched for by Dr.Tarker of Lewes, who tells of the dog's wonderful knowledge as shown while the two were at Herring's creek. Martin picked up a gun and the dog at once stood a bird, which was shot and brought in. Laying down his gun, a rifle was picked up, and as soon as the dog t:ghted it he treed a squirrel, which was also shot and brought in. On the advice of Dr.jTarker, Martin next picked up a fishing rod to fool the dog.

In Eden park there is a hijrh water tower and on top of this the city will erect a powerful searchlight to detect the spooners under the trees. Said Mr. Mullen : "The searchlight we will install is so powerful that it will penetrate the densest fog, and the leaves on a tree can be distinguished hundreds of yards away. The light will be in charge of a competent man, who will continually flash it to every part of the park and then indicate to the park policemen by whistle signals just where to find the offenders. HARVESTER COMBINE SEES GAIN Oil Decision Expected to Hold in Fight on Fine in Kansas.

Iu the District Court for Shawnee county Judge Dana imposed a fine of $12,000 on the International company for violation of the anti-trust law. This fine was baseo' on many counts. It is now contended that the fine is cumulative and that the reasons for ordering a new trial in the Standard case by the appellants will hold in the Harvester case. RIOTERS SHOT DOWN BY TROOPS. English Soldiers Kill One and Wound Six Mill Hands at Bombay. The 20,000 mill hands who went out on strike in Bombay, India, started to riot and a detachment of British infantry was called out to put down the disorder.

Price of Platinum Declines. The price of platinum has taken a big decline, being now quoted at $20 an ounce, just half of the price of a year ago, the decline being attributed; to the business depression and the consequent falling off in the demand by jewelers, dentists and manufacturers of electrical and photographic supplies.

QUEBEC? TERCENTENARY

if OME OF THE EPSODk? IN THE JHliTORY OF THE IKEY TO THE AMERICAN WMIlKtNT " 1 i " Throe hundred years ago Samuel de Champlain. the French explorer, founded the settlement of Quebec. In commemoration of its tercentenary the city of Quebec has been having the greatest celebration in its history and one of the greatest ever held in the New World. The entire city gave itself up to festivities for ten days, and Canadians of both British and French ancestry joined in making the event one to be remembered. The celebration was attended by the Prince of Wales, by representatives from all the principal governments and by the greatest collection of warships'., comprising English. French and American vessels, that ever gathered in the St. Lawrence river. The United States jvas represented by Vice President Fairbanks and Rear Admiral W. S. Cowles, brother-in-law of the President. Australia sent the earl of Dudley, New Zealand was represented by the Earl of Ranfurley and Sir Arthur de Villiers represented South Africa. Civil, religious, military and naval authorities participated iu the various ceremonies and festivities. There were huge and costly pageants, fetes, military parades and naval reviews to charm both eye and ear. The celebration was attended by nearly all Canada, and thousands of expatriated Canadians gathered from the various foreign countries in which they have made their home. Impressive Ceremonies. The landing of ChampUiIn on the shore of the St. Lawrence and his selection of the spot on which Quelle, the oldest French settlement In Canada is built, were reproduced. A great historical pageant was given, illuminated floats represent i n g different events in the history of Queloc. There were parades In which the various crack Canadian regiments took part. Fremier Laurler and G K.N' JAMES WÖLKE. and other noted sjieakcrs made addresses. There was a review of the English, French and United States vessels in the St. Lawrence river. Thanksgiving mass was held on the Plains of Abraham by the Catholics of the city, headed by the Canadian primate, and thanksgiving services were held in the Episcopal cathedral. There was a great shore parade and a scene enacted representing the landing of Wolfe's force, the ascent up the heights and the battle of the Plains of Abraham. Then farewells were exchanged and the British squadron took Its departure. The next day the French vessels followed suit. and Anally the New Hampshire heaved anchor and bade farewell to Quebec. Battlefield a Park. Additional interest is -lent to the celebration by the proposal of the Governor General of Canada, Earl Grey, that the SOOth anniversary of the founding of Queloc te comrnemoroted by obtain ing for national possession as a park the famous battlefield of the Plains of Abraham, where Wolfe worsted MontMONUMENT TO CEN. V 0LFE. calm In the struggle for Canada, and Ste. Foy, where Montcnloi overthrew the first attempt of his fritlsh opionent to capture Quebec. A prison and a rifle fat wry now occupy part of the historic" battlefield. It Is proposed to remove both and to convert the battlefield Into a national park, iu which are to be erected fitting monuments to Champlain, Wolfe and Montcalm, and probably, too, a colossal statue typifying peace. Both English and French are contributing lilerally to this project, and King Edward months ago sent a handsome subscription. More than $000,000 has been cub'scrlhcd. . The Victor at Quebec. The figure of James Wolfe, the young English general who lost his life in hi attack on Quebec, is one of the most interesting in American annals. In history he will go down as "the man who changed the destiny of North America." Ills rapture of Quebec, the Gibraltar of America, on Sept. 13, 17."r, meant more than probably he ever dreamed of. "With a handful of men." said Pitt afterward, In sj leaking of his victory to the House of Commons, "he has added an empire to British rule." He it was that put an end to French domination in Canada and saved this vast, rich territory to the English. Though he met his death in his thirtythird year and though the capture of QuelK'C was his greatest exploit, he already had given evidence of a genius for arms, of a capacity for leading men and of personal qualities of energy. Had his life lxtn spared he would have placed himself in the front rank of the great military leaders of the world. Wolfe' DarliiK Scheme. A more paradoxical nature' than Wolfe's scarcely can !e Imagined. lie was Impetuous and stormy, tender ami philosophical In turn. He had a quality of communicating his impetuosity Te tax assessors at Lincoln, Neb., estimate that the property of W. J. Bryan liable to assessment, amounts to $8-l,r00. The Bryan farm is listed at $29,12", the house at $21.000 and the Commoner at $19.2."0. It is understood that a part of Bryan's fortune is in the form of government bonds, which are not taxable. The executive committee of the AntiImperialist League issued a statement in Boston recommending that the friends of the league withhold their votes from William IL Taft for President aci support William J. Bryan.

and enthusiasm to his men in a way that made them Irresistible in attack. What would have been perfect foolhardiness in other men in Wolfe was impetuous genius. Soon after the fall of Louisburg, Wolfe became tired of inaction and wrote to Pitt, urging an attack on Quebec. It seemed a rash and foolhardy enterprise. Quebec was known as one of the most strongly fortified points on the continent, garrisoned by a large force. 4.000 of whom were the pick of the French soldiers in America, under the command of Montcalm, an able fighter and a brave man. But, little daunted, Wolfe, with a force of less than 9,C00 men, began to lay siege to the city. Artillery was mounted and much desultory fighting was carried on, but with little effect on Mont-

SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAIN. calm, who was well protected behind his ramparts. Wolfe finally realized that he could accomplish little by siege, and that he must find some method of forcing Moutcalm to give battle in the open. He began an attack on Montcalm's camp June 29, IombardIng the city meanwhile, but his plans were not fully carried out, and he was forced to recall his men. Soon after this he was taken" ill, and remained in his tent for some weeks, too weak to move. However, when September came round, he resolved upon action In spite of his weakness. A mile and a half above Quebec ho had discovered a little cove called Ansenlu-Foulon, now known as Wolfe's Cove. He found that the place was guarded by a certain Capt. de Vergor, who was exceedingly careless In his method of keeping guard. Wolfe resolved to make this his landing point. On the evening of September 12 he quietly loaded 4.S0O men on boats and dropped down the river with the tide, gliding beneath the forts under the cover of darkness. The landing was made at Anse-lu-Fouloi, the guards were overpowered and morning found the thin red line of British troops drawn up two deep in battle array on the rialns of Abraham, so named after an old royal pilot named Abraham Martin. ' The Defeat of Montcalna. Montcalm was, fairly stunned by the audacity of Wolfe's move, but confidently turned out with twice the number of Wolfe's force to wipe his adversary on the map. Wolfe ordered his men to hold their fire till the enemy were within forty yards. The French advanced steadily. 'Fire" ordered Wolfe. A solid sheet of flame leaped from the British ranks. The French line wavered before the terrible shock. A second volley brought havoc among Montcalm's men. Then, placing himself at the head of the Louisburg grenadiers, Wolfe led the charge, which bore down upon the French with Irresistible force. A shot wounded Wolfe in the wrist. A second struck him, and then a tlilr 1 In his breast stretched hira prone. Officers and men rushed to their fainting commander. His eyes were closed and his breath came feebly. "They run !" shouted some one. "Who run?" .exclaimed Wolfe, opening his eyes and half springing up. "The enemy," came the reply; "they give way everywhere!'' , "Then Cod be praised," said Wolfe, sinking back. "I die in peace." In fifteen minutes the fight was over, the French utterly routed. Montcalm received a mortal wound from which he soon died. Quebec fell five days later and Canada passed out of the hands of the French forever. Scarcely less notable n man and leader than Wolfe was Montcalm. A brave man, a klnd'y gentleman, an efficient soldier, it Is probable that he would have saved Quebec and . his own Jjfe had he not relied upon men who proved false to their duty. The remains of General Wolfe are interred in the ancient palace of (Jreenwlch, England, and a meDE MONTCALM. morlal to his name is erected in Westminster Abbey. The ashes of Montcalm lie In the church of the Ursuline Convent at Quebec. Champlain Is buried in the old basilica of Quebec and his tomb is familiar to thousands of American tourists.

Mrs. Shelby M. Cullom, wife of the senior senator from Illinois, is one of the last women in official life who was In Washington during the stirring days of the Civil War and at the time of Lincoln's assassination. Mr. Cullom took his seat - In the lower House in March, 1SCÖ, -and remained there continuously until 1S71, when after a period of private life, he was made governor of his state. Mrs. Cullom can count a variety cf episodes in her long and successful career as wife of a public man. Mrs. Cullom is the second wife of the Illinois senator, his first being her eldest sister. She became a fond mother to the orphaned nieces and it was said it was for their sake she accepted the proposal of their father. If this be true, the marriage has been phenomenally happy. Few couples in public life manifest the sincere affection which has always marked the relations of Senator and Mrs. Cullom. In the twilight of her life she is finding renewed interests In the two grandchildren, Mrs. Phelps Brown, formerly Catherine Ridgley, and Miss Eleanor Cullom Itidgley, daughter of Senator Cullom's eldest daughter and wife of the comptroller of currency, John Barret Itidgley. -: :- Uncle Sam is getting so much money that he doesn't know what to do with It. The passage of the emergency currency act has thrown him into a very embarrassing position. The old gentleman's pockets aren't large enough to hold his bank Aotes. He has ordered his tailor to add a capacious pocket to his costume, but that docs not meet the present emergency. The government's situation presses home the fact that the Euccess of the emergency currency law must depend In a considerable measure on the physical ability to grind out the bank notes and to take care of them afterward. The purpose is to accumulate a store of $300,000,000 bank notes, and to hold them in readiness. But at the very outset the government officials are faced with the fact that they have no place to Seep the notes. The regular vaults at the treasury are already crowded. Tlans have been made for a new vault, but it will be four months before it can be ready for business. For the Intervening period the officials are at wits' end to know what to do with the notes as they come from- the bureau of printing and engraving. For that very reason there has been delay in ordering the new notes. But Is is being impressed on the Treasury officials that delay may prove dangerous, in case there should be demand for emergency currency during the cropmoving period this fall. Director Ralph of the bureau of printing and engraving has declared that, If some other arrangement is not made, lie will turn his private office into a dumping ground for bank notes by the tens of millions and will run his chances in guarding them with the help of armed men. One of the subjects to be brought before Congress early in the next session will be a proposition to provide a suitable statuo of Washington for the east front of the capitol, in view of the removal of the Creenough statue, which represents the "Father of His Country" in the scant attire of a Koman statesman, from the plaza to the Smithsonian Institution. Representative McCall, chairman of the House Committee on the Library, has Introduced a bill providing for a replica of the J. Q. A. Ward statue of Washington, which stands in front of the Custom House In New York. Mr. McCall proposes to place this replica on the staircase on the east front of the capitol, so that Presidents, In delivering their inaugural addresses, will stand' at the feet of the first President. This proposition is objected to by many Senators, who prefer having a new work and not merelj' a replica. The Idea of placing an heroic statue in bronze in a conspicuous place on the plaza, representing Washington in the act of delivering his inaugural address, is finding many supporters in Congress. As the result of a serious riot at Riverview, a resort on the Maryland side of the Potomac, about fourteen miles below Washington, twenty-five privates of the United States army are under arrest at Fort Washington, Md., and Capt. Edward N. Macon, who endeavored to suppress the outbreak, suffered a broken arm, and many of the rioters sustained painful Injuries. The participants may be courtmartialed. Reports received at the Navy Department from the naval training stations have indicated the reed of sturdier lads among the recruits, and instructions have been sent out to officers on recruiting duty to accept only boys from 17 to 20 years of age, who possess a minimum weight, which is stipulated. In the case of recruits 17 years of age the weight Is 113 pounds, while the minimum weight for a recruit 20 years of age Is 123 pounds. The greatest decrease in immigration to the United States In five years is shown for the fiscal year 1908,' by the report of the immigration bureau for the month of May, 1908. A decrease of 7; ier cent, compared with IDCmJ, and a decrease of SO icr cent, compared with 1907. Negotiations are in progress for an extradition treaty between Honduras and the United States.

ORDERS A RETRIAL OF STANDARD OIL CASE

President Directs Attorney General to Start Preparations at . Once. TO EA3 TECHNICAL ESCAPE. Ho Declares There Is No Question of Ouilt or of Exceptional Gravity of the Offense. President Roosevelt from Oyster Kay has announced in unmistakable terms the determination of the administration to proceed with the prosecution of tire Standard Oil case, despite the decision adverse to the government handed down by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The decision, the President thinks, In no way affects the merits of' the case, and he makes known his decision to cause the action to be brought again before the courts In such shap if possible, as to prevent technicalities interfering with a decision based upon the actual issues iuvolved. Tho statement in the matter, made public by Secretary Loeb, follows: The President has directed the Attorney General immediately to take steps for the retrial of the Standard Oil case. The reversal of the decision of the lower court does not in any shape or v.ay touch the merits of the case, except iu so far as the size of the fine is concerned. There is absolutely no question of the guilt of of the defendants or of the exceptionally grave character of the offense. The President would regard it as a gross t iscarriage of justice if through any technicalities of any kind the defendant escaped the punishment which would have unquestionably been meted out to any weaker defendant who had been guilty of such offense.. The President will do everything in his power to avert or prevent such miscarriage of justice. With this puriKse in view the Presidilt has directed the Attorney General t j bring into consultation Frank B. Kellogg in the matter and to do everything possible to bring the olTenders to justice. (;rocnii' Antvrrr to President. Judge Feter S. Grosscup of Chicago Is one of the three Judges constituting the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting n Chicago, which dellv-" ered the judgment In the Standard Oil case. When shown the statement from Oyster Bay relative to the decision, he wrote the following: There is no more reason why I should take notice of the comment of Mr. Roosevelt than I would of any private citizen, for the office that he fills and the office that the judges of the Court of Apicals Gil are entirely independent, though coordinate, branches of the government. -mm The Santa Fe road is locating large numbers of German fruit growers along its line in Oklahoma. Railroads can accept nothing but money in payment for transportation, according to a decision by Federal Judge Kohlsaat. Railroads centering in Chicago are rapidly installing telephones to take the place of telegraph service in the operation of trains. Charlemagne Tower, the retiring American ambassador to Germany, presented his letters of recall to the emperor at Potsdam, and David J. Hill arrived next day with credentials as the new ambassador. The Canadian government has decided to confine the coastwise trade on the Pacific coast of Canada to British vessels hereafter, thus excluding a large number of American ships which have engaged in that trade. ! Four Indians were killed and three captured in a battle between Mexican troops and Yaqui Indians in the Bacatate mountains. The troops in that vicinity are pursuing three separate bands of the Indians. At Tanna the Agrarian Labor League has proclaimed a general strike. On the 20th the attempt was made to close the hops and the troops were called out to drive the strikers back. The leaders of he league were arrested. Wilbur yr right, the American aeronaut, has announced that his new machine will be ready within a ir.onth or six weeks for the trial in France. He will make one or two private trial before admitting the public to witness the tests. A number of delegates from French chambers of commerce are at Warsaw, Russian Poland, to enter into direct relations with a syndicate of Polish merchants with the view of supplying French goods for the Russian goods now under boycott in Foland. The French visitors were received with enthusiasm. All Europe 'has been laughing at the outcome of the long-controverted claim ma le by M. Lemoine of Paris that he bad a formula fcr making diamonds. When the time came for Lemoine ta ranke good his promise to produce a diamond, as demanded by the court on behalf of the man who had advanced money on the allegrd recret, lemoine did not appear. He had run away. Thereuion the judge made public the formula, which had been placed in his possession, which proved to be nothing more than already was known about the effects of the electric furnace upon particles of carbon. , The revolution in Yunnan and South China is becoming so serious that the Pekin authorities have issued orders to the authorities of foreign provinces to assemble armies to attack the rebels who organized a movement which threatens to be the largest of its kind since the. Staging rebellion. Information received at ofilces of the Wisconsin Central indicates that rapid progress is leing made in the building of the Duluth extension ofthat Hue. Kails have already been laid into Superior and considerable blasting is being done at Iuluth in oruer to clear a right of way for the new line. The campaign now beins wajed by the Ixndon newspapers against Admiral Ixrd Charles Bercsford has reached a point where it seems inevitable that the government must interfere in nome way to abate what is becoming a public scandal. Again war stalks abroad in the Central American republics, despite the efforts of the United States and Mexico U create a peace court for the settlements of differences. Revolutionists from Salvador have actually opened hostility's by capturing two llonduran towns, and have proclaimed a government under former President Bonilla. Nicaragua is said to be preparing to send aid to Honduras.

An CIAL: CHICAGO. The Weekly Review of Chicago Trade, published by R. (J. Dun & Co., Rays : An extending use of money in investments and buoyant securit3 markets reflects the better tone which now characterizes improving business conditions. Crop reports continue to be uniformly encouraging, and sustained profitable returns impart a more cheering outlook for the industries. Further recovery is made clear by wider demands for finished products, additions to active capacity and hands employed. There is also a further tign of strength in the volume of payments through the banks, the daily average being now 9 per cent above that during June. It is notable at this time that new demands in the leading productive lines come forward more freely, and there is a disKsitiou to increase furnace and steel outputs, while there is also favorable consideration given to plans for heavy construction. A large- cumber of factories run closer to their capacity, especially in rails, wire, farm implements, furniture and footwear. Much building work is now hurried, and there are more mercantile structures and extensions contemplated, thus strengthening the demand for future consumption of lumber, quarry products, plumbing materials and structural iron. The markets for the principal raw materials maintain the recently noted recuperation, and the improved absorption of supplies Imparts a healthier tone to commitments. Weather conditions proved exceptionally helpful in leading retail lines, and at no time hitherto have stocks of summer merchandise been so satisfactorily reduced. Bank clearings. $21S..BS,C3fl, are 5.1 per cent under those of the corresponding week in 1907. Failures reported in the Chicago district number So, against SO last week and 29, a year ago. Those with liabilities over $3.000 number 8, against 10 ' last week and 3 in 1907. HEW YORK. Good crop reports, the advance of the season and growth in confidence as to the trade outlook are reflected in reports of moderate enlargement of future buying at a few large centers, notably in the West and Southwest. Industrial lines too, have been benefited by evidences of revival in demand and the number of idle operatives has been reduced as a whole. Still the progress making is of a very conservative kind, curtailment of industry is still a marked feature and small orders for immediate shipment. largely make up the Toluine of business doing by jobbers. Retail trade is fair as a whole, being stimulated by price reduction sales, though complaint of stocks not moving rapidly come from some cities, and collections phow little if any improvement. Best reports come from the central West, Northwest and Southwest .and the excellent outlook, for the cotton crop makes for a bet'.er tone of advicec from the South. Business failures in the United States for the week ending July 'l number 2G3, against 2Ö8 last week. Lm in the like week of 1907. 171 in 19Kl, 197 in 190T, and 174 in 1904.
