New York, April 8.—That an agree- ment has been reached among the relatives of Madame Anna Gould to interpose no further objection to her engagement to the Prince de Sagan is | reported. The pertinacity of the prince, who recently announced that he would forego his plan to return to Paris this week, and the insistence of Madame Gould upon her right to decide for herself are said to have broken down the opposition to the engagement so that all except George Gould have con- sented to it. The latter is the cus- todian of his sister’s property. Mrs. George Gould is credited with having exercised the tact of a diplo- mat in effecting a reconciliation be- tween Madame Gould and her rela- tives. She is said to have undertaken | the part of mediator with such suc- cess that the objections of the mem- bers of the family other than George Gould have been overcome. | To Buy Brazilian Warships. London, April 8.—Interest has been aroused in naval circles by the report that the British admiralty is consider- ing the purchase of the two big bat- tleships now being built in this coun- try for Brazil. It is pointed out that Brazil has no need for two such pow- erful ships, which, in addition to their original great cost, will be expensive to maintain.

America’s Stand Resarding Manchu- ria Variovsly Interpreted. il 8—N a concerning ation cf affairs at Har- y watched by Ja- pan. The alarmist newspapers sug- gest Japaneze administration of South Marchuria as tle real object of Amer- ican action. The sensationalists con- nect the coming of the American fleet with possible future representation concerning South Manchuria, A Waslingion spacial says the gov- ernment has decided to oppose the action of Russia and Japan in Man- churia. A dispatch from Harbin quotes Consul Fisher as saying that the American government on its own initiative demands the abandonment of Japan’s present status in Manchu- rla. These telegrams have aroused much comment. The Japanese foreign ofice, however, refuses to accept the sensationalist view, and said to the Associated Press ‘that it is not pre pared to believe that the American government is opposed to Japan's present attitude in South Manchuria. It is believed here that the report quoting the Washington officials is not fonnded in fact and is circulated for the purpose of creating a fresh cause of ill feeling. ROYAL FAMILY IN COUNCIL Abruzzi's Engagement to Miss Elkins Confirmed. Rome, April 8.—The Duke of Aosta has arrived here and had breakfast with King Victor Emmanuel, the Duke of the Abruzzi and the Count of Tu- rin, after which a family conference was held relative to arranging a mar- riage engagement between the Duke of the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine [, MISS KATHERINE ELKINS. Elkins, daughter of Senator Elkins of West Virginia. Although nothing official is known it Is reported that the engagement has been confirmed and that it is the in- tentjon of the Duke of the Abruzzi to return to the United States shortly. It js also asserted that the engage- ment will not be officially announced, such announcement affecting mem- bers of the royal family being un- usual. RULED OUT BY CANNON. Move to Insert Child Labor Law in Appropriation Bill. Washington, April 8.—When the house met discussion of the District.of Columbia appropriation bill was re- sumed. This was not accomplished, however, without a roll call and in connection with it the house was fur- nished with an amusing incident of which Speaker Cannon was the cen- tral figure. Mr. Williams demanded a division on the proposition to take up the Di; trict bill, which was carried, 100 to 7 Both Mr. Payne (N. Y.) and Mr. Bart- lett (Ga.) were quickly on their feet, the former asserting that Mr. Will- iams was resorting to dilatory tactics and Mr. Bartlett insisting that there Was no quorum. - Later Mr. Bartlett withdrew his point and over the protest of Mr. Payne the speaker himself ordered a yea and nay vote. With the tension thus relieved the members broke into applause. The supporters of the proposition for a child labor law for the District of Columbia, as recommended by the president, received a blow when the chair ruled out as not germane an amendment by Mr. Peters (Mass.) to cover the subject. Mr. Peters made an elaborate presentation of the case, notwithstanding. Following a lively debate on the subject the house adopted an amend- ment by Mr. Wilson (Ill) fixing 75 cents per 1,000 cubic feet as the max- imum charge for gas in the District of Columbia. The present price is $1 per 1,000 GREATARMY OF UNEMPLOYED Number of Workmen in Idleness Esti- mated at 4,750,000. New York, April 8.—A convention of representatives of various labor and other bodies was held at the Hotel Astor to inquire into the number of unemployed throughout the TUnited States and the reasons for their idle- ness. Samuel A. Stodel, a representative of the Industrial Workers of the ‘World, said that he had prepared a statement of the number of unem- ployed in thirty-seven states. “A reasonable estimate of the num- ber of unemployed throughout the TUnited States at the present time would be at least 4,750,000,” he said. Stodel asserted that matters are go- ing to be worse. Secretly Married on Canal Zone. Panama, April 8—Miss Gladys Squiers, daughter of the American minister to Panama, Herbert G. Squiers, was secretly married to Lieu- tenant Harry H. Rousseau, a member of the Panama canal commission, last Saturday night. The ceremony was performed by Judge Hezekiah A. Gud- ger of North Carolina, who is a judge of the canal zone in the district of Ancon. Bank Robbers Secure $6,500. ‘Topeka, Kan, April 8.—Robbefs dynamited the safe of the State bank at Huron and escaped with $6,500. The bank building was badly wrecked. The robbers, who are believed to have been six in number, escaped on hand cars. MINERS REMAIN L Conference at Indianapolis Fails to Reach Agreement, ANOTHER MEETING SLATED Operators and Employes to Gather.at Toledo, 0., on April 14, When an Effort Will Be Made to Settle Exist- ing Differences. Indianapolis, April 8—The confer- ence of coal operalors of Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana and representatives of the miners of these three districts and Illinois adjourned after being in session for two hours. No resumption of work .in the mines of the states represented was ordered. The next meeting will be held at Toledo, O., Tuesday, April 14, when an effort will be made to revive the interstate agreement between the op- erators and miners of the Central com- petitive fleld, consisting of these four districts. The Illinois miners left at once for Springfield to resume their Jjoint district conference with the Illi- nois operators. President Lewis left for Kansas City to take part in the joint conference of the Southwest fleld. The Indiana mines are in opera- tlon and under a resolution adopted will continue to operate. Western Pennsylvania and Ohio mines will re- main idle until the Toledo meeting. Their resumption will be the' first qQuestion considered. 3 Ilinois differences, it is said, will be adjusted at the Springfield confer- ence now in session. It is probable that the Toledo meeting will order re- sumption in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio about April 16. It is not ex- pected that Illinois will attend the meeting. Indiana operators may also stay away from Toledo, but this is not probable and it is believed an inter- state agreement for the three districts will be established and the miners or- dered to resume work. The present scale will, in all probability, be the basis of agreement on wages. TROOPS SWARM STREETS. Excitement at Lisbon Has Not En- tirely Subsided. Lisbon, April 8—The excitement caused by the election rioting in this city Sunday evening, in which seven persons were killed and a hundred wounded, has by no means subsided. There is considerable consternation in government circles and the most extreme precautions are being contin- ued. The streets of Lisbon swarm with troops. Regiments of infantry and batteries of artillery hold Camoes square and Pedro square. The streets are patrolled by cavalry and mounted lancers are massed at street corners. Bernardino Machado, the Republican leader, has called on the civil gov- ernor to withdraw the troops. The official complete returns of the election of members to the new cham- ber of deputies, including the colonies, are as follows: Regenerators 62, Pro- gressists 59, Independents 17, Nation- alists 2, Republicans 5, four in Lisbon and one in the provinces; Francoists 8 and Dissident Progressists 7. The total is 155. The election machinery, which was in the hands of the “rotative” parties, seems to have worked perfectly. The city was in more or less of a state of terror all night. Bands of men roamed through the lower quar- ters and there was considerable plun- dering in the early morning hours. The troops were on the trail of the marauders and finally succeeded in dispersing them and driving them into hiding. MAN HOLDS POLICE AT BAY Kills One and Wounds Two Others Before He Is Shot Down. Montreal, April 8.—For five hours John Smith, a book agent, kept a large posse of the Montreal police force and a detachment of the fire brigade at bay, killing one constable, ‘wounding another and Chief Detective Carpenter before he was finally shot. Constables Foucoult and Shea were sent to $4 Mance street with a war- rant for the arrest of Smith. With- out warning Smith opened fire with a rifle, wounding Foucoult and killing Shea. Assistance was summoned. Offi- cers were given orders to capture Smith alive. Streams of water were turned on both the front and the rear of the house, but Smith once more ap- peared at a window and fired at those standing in front. Carpenter was shot through the hand and hip. Urged on by the crowd the police disregard- ed the order to take Smith alive and ffty men began firing. They then rushed the place. - Smith was found Iying on his bed, wounded in three places, but none of the wounds ap- peared to be mortal. It is believed that Smith comes from the Southern states and that Smith is not his right name. » The warrant for his arrest was sworn out by Mrs. Pritchard, his land- lady, who flleges Smith threatened to ll her. Caught by Gang of Sharpers. Indianapolis, April 8.—A special to the News from South Bend says: W. J. Springborn, president of the public service board of Cleveland, who came to South Bend to close a deal for a game preserve and clubhouse in Flor- 1da, was made the victim of a gang of sharpers and lost $10,000 betting on a fake wrestling mafch. LEGISLATION UNNECESSARY Emigration From India to Canada Will Be Stopped. London, April 8.—As a result of the conferences held in this city between MacKenzie King, deputy minister of labor of Canada; John Morley, secre- tary of state for India, and the Earl of Elgin, secretary of state for the col- onies, a satisfactory solution of the difficulty arising from the emigration of East Indians to Canada has been found. While ko legislation to restrict s movement Trom Indla will be passed administrative measures will be taken to prevent the Indiauns from going to Canada. These will take the form of sending circulars to the Pun- jab and other districts in India whence the people have been emigrat- ing in which it wil! be explained that the condition of the labor market makes it undesirable for indian ‘work- men to go to Canada and that the Canadian climate also is unsuited to them. Other steps will be taken to counteract the work of the emigrasion agents and régulations have been drawn up for the vessels.engaged in this trade that will make it necessary for them to increase the cost of pas- sage. The present cheapness of the steamship fare is today one of the in- ducements to most of the Indians for leaving their country. CONGRESSMAN BRICK DEAD Became 11l During Indiana Republican Convention. | Indianapolis, April 8.—Congressman Abraham Lincoln Brick of the Thir- teenth Indiana district died-suddenly here in a sanitorium. Acute Brights disease is given as the cause of death. He came here from his home in South Bend last week to attend the Repub- lican state convention. ‘Washington, April 8—The news of the sudden death at Indianapolis of Representative Brick of the Thir- teenth Indiana district came as a com- plete surprise. When Mr. Brick left here a short time ago she was ap- parently in the best of health. Mr. Brick was one of the most useful mem- bers of the house. He rendered con- spicuous service on the committee on appropriations and was always relied upon vigorously to support his com- mittee on the floor of the house. Per- sonally Mr. Brick was very popular and his untimely death was a great shock to his colleagues in the house. Mr. Brick is the fourth member of the present house to die. STATEMENT BY GOMPERS. Feature of a Hearing on Congressman Hepburn’s Bill. Washington, April 8.—The state- ment of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, that organized labor would rather en- dure the Sherman anti-trust law as applied by the United States supreme court in the hatters’ case than sub- mit to registration as proposed by the amendatory bill drafted by the Na- tional Civic Federation and introduced in the house by Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, was one of the features of a hearing on that bill before a sub-committee of the house judiciary committee. The speakers in addition to Mr. Gompers were President Seth Low of the Na- tional Civic Federation; Professor J. W. Jenks of Cornell unmiversity, as counsel for the federation; Daniel Davenport of Bridgeport, Conn., for the National Anti-Boycott association, and George F. Monahan of Detroit, counsel for the National Founders’ as- sociation, an organization of manu- facturers employing 250,000 men. HOBOS HOLD UP TRAIN. Rob Freight Cars of Hams, Bacon and , Other Meat. Ogden, Utah, April 8—An extra westbound freight train was sur- rounded at Lucine by a gang of hun- gry tramps and a refrigerator car was broken open and robbed of a large number of hams, pieces of bacon and other meat. The robbery occurred while the train was sidetracked. The five trainmen in charge were utterly unable to cope with the horde of ho- bos. The leaders warned the train crew not to interfere, as the men were hungry and determined to have food at all hazards. Deputy Sheriff Assassinated. Trinidad, Colo., April 8—Deputy Sheriff Tony Shelby was shot and in- stantly killed by an unknown man, who sprang upon him as he was near- ing his home, fired two shots at shori range, jumped into a nearby rig and drove rapidly out of town. Shelby had served as deputy for a number of years and was an officer during the strike troubles several years ago. Double Hanging at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, April 8—The second double hanging of the present year took place when Max Soifer and Jos- eph Tolrico were executed for mur- ders committed during jealous pas- sions.. Soifer shot and killed a girl because she threatened to end their engagement to marry and Tolrico killed the brother of his sweetheart after attempting to shoot the girl. Hopes for Free Wood Pulp. ‘Washington, April 8.—Herman Rid- der of the New York Staats Zeitung, who represents the Newspaper Pub- lishers’ association in their demand for free wood pulp so as to reduce the price of white paper, said after con- ferring with President Roosevelt that he was sanguine congress would not adjourn without passing such: a meas- ure. REPUBLICANS WITHDRAW. Refuse to Vote for Publicity of Cam- paign Contributions. ‘Washington, April 8.—The Repub- lican members of the house commit- tee on the election of the president, etc,, withdrew from the meeting of that committee when a vote was about to be obtained on Representa- tive McCall's bill requiring publicity of campaign contributions and the Democratic members have prepared a statement in which they practically charge the Republicans with cow- ardice in refusing to go on record on the subject. The discussion in the committee was very animated. Bullet May Prove Fatal. Washington, April 8.—Thomas Ma- Creery, the New York horseman acci- dentally shot by Congressman J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama a few_days ago, is in’a serious condition. He has been operated on for lockjaw at George Washington university hospi- tal as the only hope+of saving his life. - - High Grade Watches a Specialty Fine and Complicated Watch Repairing Geo. T.

Washington, April 8.—The senate engaged for some time in the discus- sion of a report printed in the Wash- ington Post to the effect that Secre- tary Taft contemplated the increase of the army so as to bring the num- ber up to 125,000 men. The subject was introduced by Senator Hale, who spoke of the enormous sum of $98,- 000,000 carried by the army appropria- tion bill which passed Monday. He said that he did not know whether the author of the article had inside in- formation, but he added that it was understood to be the plan of the chief of staff of the army to double the present size of that organization. In this connection he mentioned the fact that this officer often acts as secre- tary of war “in the prolonged, fre- quent and necessary absence of the secretary.” Senator Hale traced the increase in military expenditures to the necessity for protecting the Philippines, of which he spoke as “a pestilential curse.” He made the prediction that the expenses would continue to pile up until this country got rid of those islands. K Incidentally Mr. Hale expressed the opinion that the war talk between the United States and any other country was “mere nonsense.” Senator Hale then moved to recon- | - sider the vote by which the military bill was passed and Senator Burkett attacked his mptive in doing so, say- ing that in his opinion the motion was made “for the particular purpose of criticising a particular man who is now attracting attention throughout the country.” The motion was lost.
