FINE SEVEN DISTURBERS Some of Those Taking Part in Paris Mob Arrested and Found Gulity, PARIS, July 24.—P( , “arying from the payment of a fine v 7%, ' to im- prisonment for three mob. "7z . - been imposed on seven of the perdu. I, 11 for having taken part in the dew e tions in connection with the closing bu congregationist schools. It is asserte. that Abbe Bardinal, the cure at Levallous, uburb of Parls, who was promiusnt in yesterday’s disturbances will be disciplined. M. Combes, the premier, continues to receive addresses from publie bodies con- gratulating the government on the energy with which it is dealing with the unauthor- 1zed schools. Beveral newspapers have declared that the pope intended to make the recent action of the French government the subject of a protest, but it is not lfkely, as the cabinet bas already intimated to the holy see that no discussion regarding the congregationist schools could be entered into. Only four uuauthorized congregationalist schools now remain in Paris. The sisters in charge of these have encouraged dem- onstrations in their favor, and are deter- mined to remain until they are forcibly expelled. As the limit of delay accorded by Premier Combes’ circular expired at noon toduy, it is likely that decrees order- ing tbe expulsion of the sisters will be plazed in the hands of the police témorrow and that the execution of these decrees will be accompanied by scenes of vio- lence. Clericals are busy throughout Paris trylng to arouse thelr supporters and in- duce them to take part in a popular move- ment in favor of the congregations. Meet- ings have been held in many districts and & monster assemblage Is announced for Sunday, to be held in the Pl de la Con- corde, with a view to presenting a slgned protest to Premier Combes. The govern- ment Is preparing'to prevent any serious disturbance of public order. Telegrams from the provinces report that the schools in most places have been olosed and that the sisters have departed. In some instances crowds composed largely of pupils and their parents, accompanied the sisters to the rallway stations, mak- ing demonstrations in their favor, and hooting the police.

LONDON, July 24.—The debate on the Irish estimates, begun yesterday in the House of Commons, was continued acrl- lously today, John Dillon, Irishk na- tionalist, declaring that the speech of the| chiet secretary for Ireland, Mr. Wyndham, yesterday, amounted to & tion bt war against the Irish people. The chlet secretary, he sald, had ‘enforced the strongest coerclon act without s shadow of justification. Mr, Dillon reviewed the case of Sergeant Sheridan and blamed the government for failing to prosecute him. Timothy Healy, Irish nationaliet, who followed, demanded Sheridan’s extradition from the United States, though; he added, he did not think the crows would conviel him with an Irish jury. F. L. Harris, conservative, heré inter- posed, saying the government was heartily tired of hearing about Bheridan. This statement was received with derisive Irish cheers, and Mr. Healy continued, describ- ing Ireland as “the sick child of the Brit- ish empire.” H. H.

GEGLBGICAL SURVEY MAPS Three New Ones Just Issued, One Each of lown, Wyeming and South Dakota. WASHINGTON, July 24—(Special Tele- gram.)—The United States geological sur- vey has just published In a serles of topo- graphic atlas sheets of the United States, new maps of portions of eastern Iowa ia the neighborhood of Eilklander, Garnavillo and Guttenberg, including a small section of Wiscoasin on the east side of the M ppi river and of portions of Wyoming and South Dakots. The lowa map not only shows all railroads, highways, boun- daries, cities and towns of the region indicated, but even the location of houses in the country districts. By means of contour lines the deep and narrow valleys made by smaller streames and creeks are ween and the broad and fiat valley of the Misstssippl is strongly contrasted with the higher ground surrounding its banks. That of Wyoming and South Dakota takes its name from the town of Sundance in eastern Wyoming, on the western slopes of the Black Hills, showing all roads and trails and indicates by means of comtour Mnes the rugged nature of the topography and altitude above the sea level. Another South Dakota sheet just issued is that of Edgemont quadrangle, lccated in the extreme southwest corner of the This sheet shows the reglon sur- rounding the city of BEdgemont, together with the valley of the Cheyemne river. By use of contours the isountainous na- ture of the country north of Edgemont is also indicated. FIERCE RACE WAR BEGINS Two Negroes at Womelsdorf, West Virginia, Horribly Mutilate by & Mob. PHILIPPE, W. Va, July 24—Two ne- groes, whose names were unknown, were Iynched at Womelsdorf, near here, last night by an angry mob numbering several hundred.

Plerpont Morgan wan tonight the guest of honer at a remark- able dinner, given in the House of Commons by Archibald White McConochie, membor for the east division of Abderdoenshire. On one side of the host sat Mr. Morgan and on the other Premier Balfour. The other guests included Ambassador Choate, St John Brodrick, secretary of state for war; W. Hanbury, president of the Board of Agriculture; Sir E. H. Carson, solicitor general; Sir Charles Dilke, M. V. R. B. Finley, attorney general; Clinton Bdward Dawkins, one of the partners of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.; Sir Thomas Lipton, Bart.; George Wyndham, chiet secretary for Ireland; Arnold Foster, financial secre- tary to the admiralty; George Westing- Rouse, president of the Westinghouse Elec- trical company, and Gilbert Parker, member of Parliament for Gravesend. The dinner began at § o'clock in a private room within the precincts of the House of Parliament. With the exception of Secre- tary Wyndham, who was' compelled to re- turn to the House of Commons for th- Irish debate, a majority of the guests chatted until nearly 11 o'clock. The conversation was particularly frank. The South African war, international yacht races, the shipping combine and all were discussed In turn. Mr. Morgan amd Premier Balfour were both particularly animuted. One of those present sald to a representative of the As- soclated Press: It was one of the most remarkable gath. erings in which I ever took part. Prac- teally a quorum of the cabinet talked over in the simplest and most open way leading sublects which now vitally concern both countries. To see M gan and Mr. Balfour together, one could scarcely believe the former had 'been regarded as a bogle who threatened Eingiand's commeréial ex- istence, If some things which ' passed around that table could be repeated, It would be an eye-opener to those who are fomenting commercial rivairies between England and America. From another source the representative of the Assoclated Press loarned it was said Mr. Morgan was jocularly cértaln the Americans would retain the yachting eup. A feeling of uneasiness pervaded the dinner with regard to King Edward's condi- tion, even leading members of the cabinet displayirg nervousness lest his majesty should be unable to fulfill. his dutles in the coronation ceremony. This was due to mo little extent to the statement of the doctors that the king is not yet allowed to walk and to somewhat natural apprehension that the severe strain of a fortnight hence will prove too danger- ous an undertaking, There was not the slightest whisper that the king Is worse than the bulletins indi- Tho only fear was that the doctors had been possibly too optimistio in setting the date of the coronation on August 9. Mr. Balfour somewhat allayed the feeling of nervousness by explaining that the doc- tors had been instructed that under no con- sideration whatever must they decide upon the date for the coronation unless they were absolutely positive the king would not disappoint the people again, four pointed out that as the dootors had shown so far such splendid judgment it would be )ruunpmnum doubt their Jydg- ment now, however difficult it might for a IA¥men {0 unfersiuisl bow u patient who could not stand up today could be crowned August 0. There is no doubt, how- ever, that the cabinet will follow anxiously n by the OATS TOUCH SEVENTY CENTS July Option Are and the Onsi Both Prices. Article at Panie CHICAGO, July 24.—July oats and the cash article of standard grade today ad- vanced to 70 cents, only 1 cent under the panic prices of 1867 and 1874, and in excess of the present price of July corn. July oats ppened unchanged at 67 cents, but owing to the scarcity of supplies it needed only the purchase of 20,000 bushels, wanted by ehorts, to send the price up to the figure mentioned. The sitvation in July oats is termed a Datural corner, although one influential trader is long a considerable percentage of the stuff which has been sold. The situation was brought about chiefly by the weather, Traders habitually sold short on prospects of a good crop, but re. ceipts for some time, owing to the bad weather, have been coming in crib lots, with the percentage of contract very small. A plan was set in motion to bring = trainload of oats from California to relleve the plight of the short interest, but the scheme was abandoned, as it was found that it would be impossible to work the cereal through the elevators before Au- gust 1 CANDIDATES FOR ARCHBISHOP List to Be Presented to Po ‘Which to ect Successor for Feeh: CHICAGO, July 24.—In secret conference here today the irremovable rectors and diocesan ~consultors and the suffragan blehops of the archdlocese of Chicago of the Roman Catholic church expressed thelr cholce for candldates to succeed to the po- sition of the late archbishop P.

CAUSE OF CAMBRIA DISASTER Coroner Determ that Accident ‘Was Result of Someone Lighting Gas. Lancaster JOHNSTOWN, Pa., July 24.—The second day's official inquiry into the Rolling Miil mine disaster, being beld under the direc- tion of Coromer Miller, established the fact conclusively that the explosion was caused by some one lighting gas which bad accumulated, but was not at its highest explosive point. In what manner it was ignited, or by whom, will probably never be known. Witnesses testified today that of the 600 men employed in the mine about 10 per cunt are practical miners, in whom the mine officials could place confi- dence. Miners found in dangerous places with open lamps were discharged. Rook Island Passenger Engine Turns Over Noar South Omaha, C~ E. PORTER CAUGHT UNDER WRECK Two Bagsage Cars Follow Locomo- tive Into Ditch, but No Other In. juries to Persom Result Beyond the One. C. B. Porter, & fireman on the Chicago, Rbck Island & Pacific, 1s lying dead at the undertaking rooms of L. Dodder, the result of a wreck which eccurred y terday afternoon a few miles south of Omaha. Porter was fireman on the engine which pulled the westbound Golorado express out of here shortly after 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The traln was a little over half an bour late, but it is not knmown that Engineer Erickson, who was in charge of the engine, was trylng to make any extra fast run on that account. About three miles below South Omaha the en- gine jumped the track and turned over in the ditch. Two baggage cars followed and were badly splintered. The rest of the heavy traln remained on the track. Engineer Erickson escaped unhurt, Fireman Porter was caught under the great engine when it turned over and was crushed to death. His body was soon re- covered and brought to Omaha, when it was turned .over to the undertaker. As the wreeck occurred in Sarpy county, any officlal Inquiry will devolve upon the cor- oner of that county. Untll a late hour last night the track was still blocked at the scene of the wreck. A wrecking train and crew were brought from Fairbury and an engine was sent down from Council Bluffs to aid in getting the big passenger locomotive out of the ditch and clearing the tracks. None of the local officials of the company could be found last night, and at Councll Blufts the men in charge knew very little about the wreck, beyond the fact that ome had occurred and that the fireman had been killed. It s |d that no one else was injured. Porter's home 1s in Fairbury, Neb., and he leaves a wife and one child.

J.,, July 24.—No president ever recelved a more sincere, heartfelt and patriotic welcome than that given President Rooscvelt today by the people of New Jer- sey.

Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Allce Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs. W. Emlen Roosevelt, Miss Christine Roosevelt and Assistant Secretary Loeb, the president left Sagamore Hill at 7 o'clock this afternoon and boarded Mayflower, his officlal naval vessel, from a launch. The run to within sight of Atlantlc Highlands was made by Mayflower In five hours, but the vesse! came to anchor there, as the water was too shal- low to permit its approaching the pler. Just as it anchored the French liner Lasvoy, with Secretary Root, General Wood and others aboard, passed out to sea. As the big liner swept near the presidential yacht Mayflower fired seventeen guns honor of the eccretary of the mavy. The liner responded by dipping its colors while ths passengers crowded its upper deck amd cheered the president enthusiastically. Harbor Resounds with Whistles.
