The coffins were taken away in two undertakers’ vans. In order to avold at- tracting attention the first van drove off soon as it was loaded, the second following five minutes later. They proceeded sepa- rately to the freight station of the Western raflroad, where the cofins were enclosed in packing cases.

Mr. Ellis refuses to name the port from which they are to be sent or the steamer which is to take them. The bodies may be forwarded to Cherbourg to- night and embarked on the American line steamer St. Louls for New York, or they may be shipped to Havre tonight and pos- sibly sent over to Southampton and put on board St. Louls at that port.

CONTROVERSY MORE BITTER Members of Sacred College Take Sides in Former Ameriean Girl's Trouble, ROME, Aug. 27.—The Rospigliosi con- troversy is increasing in bitterness and nearly all the members of the sacred col- lege here have become participants. Prince Rospiglios!, under the advice of one of the cardinals, has formally protested to the congregation of the holy office against the order forbldding the assistance of a nun during the recent confinement of the princess, his wife. The prince is withhold- ing the salaries of the priests on his es- tates, who are allied to the prelates who oppose him, and is turning over these sal- arfes for the benefit of clergymen who are under the authority of those cardinals who sympathize with him. Princess Rospiglios!, who was Miss Ma- rie Reld of Washington, D. C., was mar- ried to the orince after her divorce from Frederick Parkhurst of Bangor, Me.

C., Aug. 27.)—The extraordinary weather this year in Japan makes the prospects of & good rice crop—the main food of the people—very gloomy. The thermometer has hardly reached 90 degrees in the open, and has been generally dodging around 65 to 75 degrees. Heavy rain been falllng, culminating in ty- phoons on July 10 and 11.

SCHEME TO BEAT SHIP COMBINE British Government Has Plan Com- plete, but Not Yet An- mounced, propert; (Copyright, 102, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Aug. 28.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—The Dally | Mall says there is reason to belleve that the British government's scheme for coun- tering the Morgan combine is now complete. The detalls of the scheme are nmot known, but the broad principle will be planned to protect freights carried in British vessels agalnst any attempts to corner trade. The Mail adds that those conversant with t facts affirm that the government scheme is likely to have a serious effect on the ship- ping trust.

An address of welcome by Mayor Palmer of Grand Raplds opened the morn- ing session. This was followed by an address by Pr: dent Charles 8. Ashley, mayor of New Bed- ford, Mass. Home Rule for Cities. Mr. Ashley said that much thought and discussion had been given to the subject of municipal administration by the mem- bers of the league and they had been the cause of provoking concentrated attention to the question of municipal ownership. Continuing on this topic he sald: Home rule for cities, No dependency of the city upon the state. BEach municipality should be a law unto itself upon matters purely local. We should have a right to own and control the public utilities, 1 ask you to note that I say “have the right to"own,” for I do not undertake to say that at this time in every community it would be a feasible thing to exercise that right, but in the very nature of thin, it is a privilege which we should not lonzer denfed. Competition In the products of the public service corporations 100 often means that consolidation will follow and the consumer eventually pay ali the bills, Pure monopoly means that the price de- manded will be far beyond the fair capacity of_the debtor to pay. Regulated monopoly, through the instru- mentality of the state, is a farce and prac- ticaily amounts to legalized bunco, The right to enter inlo the fleld with municlpal ownership provides a means of saying to the oppressor. Be square and de- cent with us and we will pay a proper price to you; If not, we ourselves will pay to our- Selves, buy of ourselves and the amount expended will be that which is of Itself right and not what you extort.

I charge no corruption upon, the agents | of the state; the fault is in the system; they are not by the tenor of their ap- pointment subject to any control of the city; they come in daily contact with the companies and their representatives and they learn to think as their visitors think they lose their identity as citizens them selves, and have come to listen to the volce too brazen and out of tune.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—The fron and steel makers of Germany nqw have a com- bination behind their backs which will en- able them to continue with better chances for ultimate success their stubborn and per- sistent fight in the markets of Burope, South and Central America, Afriea and the east. This fact is brought out in a report from United States Consul General Frank Mason at Berlin, dated August 1, which was made public at the State department today. The consul general reports that after a full discussion of the unsattsfactory eondition of the home market repftesentatives of the coal and iron industries of Germany assem- bled at Cologne, decided upon a return to the system of export bounties which was used to such good effect in the early years of the German industrial expansion. There- upon a unfon was formed between the coal and fron interests to provide export boun- ties among all the leading syndicates In the metal and mining industries. This vast and powerful export assaciation, says Mr. Mason, is based upon an agreement that its members shall contribute te pay to such members as export thelr products a bonus equal to the difference hatween the current prices of the merchandi$e in the German markets and the price actually obtained for {1t abroad. The bounties o be paid on ex- ported metals are calgulated upon the amounts of raw mn!erllllfomvd in thelr ‘production. The consul general safs that the mid- summer outlook for the erman metal and mining industries is notiso reassuring as had been confidently hoped for since the beginning of the year. I ls nevertheless true, says Mr. Mason that the exports of iron and steel are enormous and steadily in- creasing. During the first half of the pres- ent year the figures reached 1,602,742 tons, as compared with 994,404 tons for the same period of last year. The increase in the ageregate values of thése exports was only from $57,143,800 to $70,852,600. This compar- ison between the bulk of product and the bulk of money, says Mr. Mason, makes the vital fact of the situation apparent, that a large part of the vast amount of exports has been marketed abroad rather on the basis of a clearing out sale, in which the goods were offered at whatever sacrifice might be necessary to secure their sale.

All the members of the party had re- tired. $ ELLSWORTH, Me., Aug. 27.—The presi- dent’s second day in the Pine Tree state was full of Interest. Starting from the gove ernor's residence at an early hour, he was taken for a short drive about the eity of Augusta and at 9:30 left for Bangor, where the principal speech of the day deliv- ered at the fair grounds In the presence of an immense audlence. The closest attentic n ‘was given at Waterville, whene from far aul Dear came hundreds to see and hear th first president who has visited Maine in ny years. In anticipation of his coming a general hollday was declared and all busi- ness was suspended. Just before leaving Augusta the president heard that his old guide, “BIll" Sewall of Island Falls, Me., who had accompanied him ¢ many hunting expeditions and who had been for a time employed on his ranch in Dakota, was at Baogor. He immediately wired Congressman Powers at Bangor to “corral” him and hold onto him until he reached that city. That the congressman carried out these Instructions was fully proven when he produced the tall, rawboned, red-whiskered hunter upon the president's arrival. And So Was BilL “I am glad to see you Bill, president, whereupon Bill ain’t no gladder than I be.” d ke t ad- ship of many years with the old guide and hunter and how, many years ago, while on a hunting trip through Maine, owing to the shortage in the meat supply, they had eaten muskrat together, which the president d was the last meat he had eaten in Maine The president seemed to delight in the rural simplicity of the man and insisted that he should sit down to dine ver with him. Bill, therefore, had the dls- tha _but few of sald the replied, *You Then 1t was the governor of his state at the same time. While at the fair grounds someone sug- gested to Sewall, who was seated on the platform with the president, that he should 80 to Washington and secure an appoint- ment as postmaster, but Bill had already recelved this honor, and sald to his in- quisitor: "I be postmaster already. On the drive through Bangor the pres- ident’s carriage was stopped in front of the portico of the Orphans' home, where the little ones were assembled, and they greeted him in song. Emp| xing Personal Poliey. Before beglnning to speak at the fair grounds the president, notlcing the jam- ming and pushing of the crowd In front of «Le grandstand, cautioned the people to be caroful of the women and children and asked them to show their capacity to man- age themselves, which Immediately had the desired effect. The platform from which the president spoke was directly in tront of the grandstand, which was packed with humanity. Behind him was another dense crowd. He humorously informed his audiences that he did not think he faced both ways, but that on that occasion he would have to. On leaving the platform he drove around the race track in response to cries from the audience that he do so. Tonight the president dined here at the home of Senator Hale, who accompanied t party from Bangor. At the depot when t| train pulled in the persident was escorted to a platform nearby and delivered a short address. He left at 10 o'clock for Nashua, N.

BANGOR, Me., Aug. 27.—The special train tarrying the president and his party ai rived here at 1 o'clock, on schedule time, The president was met at the train by President Beal of the Eastern Maine State Fair association, Senator Hale, Congress- men Littlefleld, Powers and others, T party immediately startea for a drive about the city, going later to the falr grounds, where the president made an address, say- ing: 1 am glad to greet the farmers of Maine. During the century that has closed the growth of industriallsm has necessarily meant that cities and towns have increased in population more every day than the country districts. And it remains true now, as it has always been, that in_ the last ‘report the country districts are those in which we are sure to find the old Amer- ican spirit, the old American hablts of thought and ways of living. Almost all of our great presidents have been brought up in e country and most of them worked hard on the farms in their outh ‘and got thelr early mental training n the healthy democracy of farm life. The forces which made these farm-bred boys leaders of men when they had come to thelr full manhood, are still at work in our country districts. Self-help and in- dividual initiative remain to & peculiar de- gree typical of life in the country, life on & farm, in a lumbering camp, on a ranch. Nefther the farmers nor their hired hands ca. work through combinations as readily as the capitalists or wage-workers of cities can worl AR } Progressiveness of the Farmer, It must not be understood from this there has been no change in farmiog an farm life. The contrary is the case. Ll has been much change, much The Grange and similar the farmers’ institutes and all the alliances which promote intelligent co-operation and give opportunity for soclal and Intellect intercourse among the farmars, have a large part ia ralsing the level of life ai work in the country districts. In the do- main of government the Department of Agricuiture since its foundation, achleved results as striking as those ol tained under any other branch of the na- tiona) administration. Wa llve in an cra when the best results can only be achieved, if to individual self- help we add the mutual self-help which comes by combination hoth of ciiizens in the individual capacity, and of citisens working through the state an ment. But after all this has been it remains true that the countryman, the man on the farm more than any othér of our cltizens today 18 called upon continually to exercise the qualities which we like to
