In the House of Commons several ques- tions were asked relative to matters of international interest. Premier Balfour in & general reply sald there had been an unexpected delay in the Veneszuelan ques- tion which, however, was not due to Great Britain or Germany, who had taken paral- lel action, but to the fact that France and Bpain objected to the use of the English language by the tribunal. ‘The question had been left to the tribunal ‘itself to decide, Ho believed the court, whose members the ezar had been requested to nominate, would meet on the date originally fixed. Little Sympathy for Macedonia, Rguarding the complaints that the gov- erninent was showing a lack of sympathy with Macedonia, Mr. Balfour pointed out that it was caused by desp dissension among the Christians. ' It was not the Turk—deep as,his gullt undoubtedly was —who was responsible for the miserable conditions. It would be folly to forget that the Christians committed atrocities bn Christians. The govérnment was still of the opinion that ‘the best policy was to support the Austro-Russian endeavors to improve the administration. 2 Dealings with the protests agatnst muz- 2ling the house on the fiscal coniroversy, the premlier said he thought there was no necessity. for undue Murry n discissing the matter, There was no pending flacal question be- fore Parliament, nor would there Le one during the currency of the present Par- lament, ‘With a final fling from Winston Churchill, Who said it was doubtful whether the pres- ent Parllament would meet again, and who characterized the premier's policy of trans- ferring the fiscal discussion from Parlia- ment to the country, as that of a dema- &ague, the sitting was suspended. Subse- Quently the house was summoned to the House of Lords to Near tho King's speech ‘proroguing Parllament. . The speech was of little general or i in Portugal, nd France and to the return visit o Presi. dent Loubet, “whose' visit has glven rise to a striking exhibition: of the feelings of tiu- tual good will ‘which prevalls in the fwo countri ! King Refers to Ireland. The most interesting portion’ of the speech today deals with Ireland. It says: The warm expressions of good will with which I was eéverywhere recel greatly toucaed me, My visit enabled me to real- ize how much was being attempted to im- prove the housing accommodation for the working population, stimulate commercial activity, advance the methods of agricul- ture, detelop technical education_an vide' for the sick and infirm. Much re- [natns to be done, but it was with the feel- igns of deepest gratification that I noticed increasing concord -among all lasses in Ireland, pml:&in" as I hopé, a new era of united efforts for the general welfare. Talks of the Land Bill. Referring to the Irish land bill the speech says It offers Inducements to the land own- ers to continue their residence among their countrymen and provide facilities for im- proving the conditions of life in the poorer districts of the west. It adds: This reform, by removing the ancie guuses ot wocial cgl-[.en‘..:olll:.. will, 1" hearts of all my Trish subjects, o mon Beachit Reference is made in the speech to the general anxlety regarding the situation in the European provinces of Turkey, to the great progress made in the work of reset- tlement and pacification in SBouth Africa, and the improvement in the condition of agriculture and finance in India. After the reading of the king's speech Parliament was prorogued till Novembet 2. Future is Umcertain. / ‘There has probably never bgen a proroga- tion of Parliament which for the future of the government was so uncertain as on this occasion. Many believe there will be & dissolution In the autumn, though the best information does not support this bellef. . Mr. Balfour's speech at Sheffield at the end of September s awaited with the keenest interest, as it will contain a pro- nouncement of policy which will possibly force either the duke of Devonshire—a pro- nounced free trader—or Colonlal Secretary Chamberlain, to resign. SHIPS BEAT LAND FORCES North Paclfic Forta a Unobserved. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Aug. 14.—The North Pacific squadron, whose return from the north has been so eagerly expected by the artillery forces here for several days, succeeded in passing the forts early this morning in a drizzling rain, and his won a victory over the land forces.

Miles, retired, accompanied by & party of seven, arrived from the east shortly before 2 o'clock this morning. He was met at the station by a delega- tion of officers from Fort Douglass and driven directly to the post, where he will be entertained today. PAPAL SECRETVARY IN DOUBT ontiff's Courtlers Speculate as to Cardinal Who Will Succeed Rampolla, ROME, Aug. 14.—The pope today received in private audience several cardinals, bish- ops and archbishops. He also received Thomas Desmond, representative of the Irish parllamentary party, who was left alone with the pontiff. When he wished to kneel the pope stretched out his hand and asked him to be seated at his side. The pontift was much gratified at the congratu- lations, saying the Irish were dear, loyal people and that he wished them all pros- perity and happiness. Speculation concerning the appointment of secretary of state continues to be the engrossing question. There has been a sug- gestion that Cardinal Gott should be ap- pointed on the ground that such.an ap- pointmrent would please Germany and Austria, and that Rampolla should replace Gottl as perfect of the propaganda, thus securing the protection of France's inter- ests In the east. It is not belleved the suggestion will prove acceptable to the pope. Others think the pope is trying to over- come the excessive modesty of Cardinal Satolll in order to induce him to accept the position, while Still others belleve Pius X will end by conferring the red hat upon his intimate friend, Monsignor Callegari, bishop of Padue, and subsequently nomi- nating him as secretary of state. Pope Plus X has signified his intention of occupying the apartments in which the late pope lived and the furniture is now being removed for that purpose. MME.

BERLIN, Aug. 14.—The first international congress of wireless telegraphy adjourned today, after rosolving to keep its proceed- ings secret for the present. It is learned, however, that the majority reached an agreement regarding the principles of the control of International communication by wireless telegraphy.

Marcum of Jackson, Ky~ dict of guilty today ay ment oq each at life The verdict was re there was but fey sons in the court room. The only ‘w_ orney present was County Attorney Webster. Jett recelved the verdict with comparative indifference and calmness. White, who has been ap- parently under a severe strain during the trial, flushed up and his eyes filled with tears. Attorney Golden, for the defense, later entered a motion for a new trial. The gen- eral opinion seems to be that the motion will be overruled by the court and that it will then go to the court of appeals. The verdict occasloned little surprise here after the deliberation of the jury had been 8o prolonged. The only question which caused the delay, it was sald, was of pun- ishméfit, death or life imprisonment. The verdict on the whole 18 regarded as a victory for the defense, as the prosecu- tion asked that no middle ground be taken and that the men either go free or be hanged. The attorneys for the defense were ab- sent when the jury came into court and Judge Osborne sent for them. The court asked them If they ‘had anything to say after the verdict was read. Attorneys Blanton and Golden, for the defense, said they had not. The judge then said he would adjourn coprt until ‘1:30 this after- noon. Then Golden objected, as he desired to leave earlier for his home at Barbours- ville. Judge Osborne told them to make their motion for a new trial. The motlon was thefeupon filed and the cougt took it under advisement. When it was announced that the jury had come out a crowd gathered at the court rooms, but it was quiet and or- derly. Prosecuting Attorney Bird sald tonight that at the next term of court, which be- gins three weeks from next Monday, the case of the commonwealth against Curtis Jett for the murder of Town Marshal -Jim Cockerill will be pressed. It is sald six eye witnesses will be called. In the case today charges were preferred against Juror dasper. King for attempting to hang the jury. King' lives in Cynthlana and was until two years ago a deputy sherift of the county and a highly esteemed citizen. County Attorney Bird sald tonight that he would bring the charges 'against King at noon tomorrow.

Thus fay about the only proposal on which nearly all seem, to be agreed Is that the proposed legislation should include a provision for the depositing of customs recelpts in na- tional banks. ‘This afternoon former Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carslisle, Dennis T, Flynn, for several years delegate from Oklahoma in the house of representatives; Bishop Frederick Z. Rooker, who until re. cently was secretary of the papal delega- tion (in Washington, and Bdward Lauter- bach of New York called on the president. Mr. Carlisle’s visit was on a private mat- ter, but the president embraced the oppor- tunity to talk briefly on the subject of financial legislation. Bishop Rooker called to pay his respects and to discuss the situation in the Philip- pines. He is one of the four American bishops recently appointed for service fn the archipelago. He will sall for Manila on September 19, Mr. Lauterbach, who is one of the counsel for representative Littauer in the glove contract investigation, discussed that mat. ter with the president. Nothing is known here regarding the re- port from Yokohama that Prince Ching of the Chinese Forelgn office had obtained Russia’s consent to the use of President Roosevelt's good offices in connection with the Manchurian difficulty® The president bas received no intimation that he has ever been under consideration as an arbitrator of the Manchurian troubles, CARS CLIMB EACH OTHER a Train Wrecked in Ohlo Slays One and Injures Many, FORT WAYNE, Ind., Aug. l4.—An east- bound passenger train on the Pennsylvania ran off the track today at the Cincinnati Northern rallway crossing at Van Wert, 0.

KINGSTON, Jamalca, Aug. 4.—At Port Antonia thousands of homeless and starv- ing people have sought shelter in the old prison and the few other buildings which survived the hurrieane. Those who could not be thus accommodated are cowering in the lee of ruined walls and dismantled plazzas. The raflroad sheds and waiting rooms are filled with women and children. The merchants are feeding the hungry to the best of their ability, but the majority are subsisting on unripe bananas knocked down by the storm. The bananas are botled In kerosene ofl cans over open fires made from the debris of destroyed bulldings. This is the entire food supply and it will be exhausted in nine or ten days. Similar conditions prévall at Annotata bay, Buff bay, Orange bay, Port Marla, Manchion Cal, Bowden and other smaller seaports. In the interior the distress is equally acute. Scarcely & home is standing. Even most of the planters’ dwellings, which are bullt of stone, have been’ unroofed. Efforts are makingat Kingston to re- lieve the immediate wants of some towns by subscription of food and clothing, but the local efforts are inadequate. Unless immediate shipments of foodstuffs come from America death by starvation is M- evitable for many. The hospitals in the wind swept reglon are crowded with the injured and the death list 1s increasing. One man was beheaded at Port Antonio by a flying sheet of gal- vanized iron. Many were seriously wounded by falling houses, trees and walls. The bulk of the Blue Mountain coffes has been rulned and the pimento groves, which stood for centuries, have been ob- liferated. It fs now thought that the loss on the island will reach $15,000,000. SAN FRANCISCO IS CROWDED G. A. R.

Banners, streamers and bunches of flags will wave from the ornamental poles which line Market street for its entire lehgth, while lines of electric globes strung across the street with myriads of small lamps in suspension will turn the night into & blaze of light. The committees in charge of the parade and all the other committees arranging for the reception of the delegates have almost finished their work and nothing has been left undone to secure the success of the en- tertainments provided for the guests. The cities of the interior are jolning heartily in the work with thelr usual hospitality and carloads of fruit and flowers will be com- ing into San Franeisco dally next week, for distribution among the veterans and their friends, from Sacramento, Santa Rosa, San Juan and other fruit growing centers throughout the state.

MECHANICS PAVILION, SAN FRAN« CISCO, Aug. 14.—James J. Jeffries, heavy- welght champlon of the world, played with Corbett for nine rounds and a half tonight and then Corbett's seconds stopped the fight to save thelr man from needless pun- ishment The end came shortly after the begin- ning of the tenth round, when Jeffries planted one of his terrific left swings on Corbett's stomach. The man who con- quered John L. Bullivan ‘dropped to the floor in agony and the memorable scene at Carson City, when Bob Fitzstmmons landed his solar plexus blow, was almost dupli- cated. This time, however, Corbett strug- gled to his feet and again faced his gl- gantic adversary. With hardly a moment's hesitation Jeffries swung his right and again landed on Corbett's stomach. Jim dropped to the floor and then it was that Tommy Ryan, seeing it was all over, mo- tioned to Rereree Graney to stop it. Jefiries Stands Alone. The fight tonight demonstrated beyond all doubt that Jeffries stands alone in his class. He showed remarkable improve- ment on both speed and skilt. Corbett dur- ing the first part of the fight was almost outpointed and the few blows he landed on Jeffries were apparently without sting. Jeftries was never in better condition. He looked lighter than usual and the way he moved about on his feet and the frequency with which he countered Corbett's leads as- tonished everybody. Corbett, in comparison with the blg man opposed to him, looked light, but was really heavier than ever before. He appeared to have lost some of his old-time speed and skill during the early part of the fight, but this may have been due to Jeftries' mar- velous improvement. Corbett's physical condition appeared to be all that he had claimed. He stood many of Jeftries' terrific blows without wincing and came back swinging left and right and landed frequently, but his blows hardly stunned Jeftries. Jeffries was not only stronger and cleverer than ever, but he used his head to better purpose and al- though Corbett would hit hin: hard enough to hurt an ordinary man Jeftries bore right in without noticing the blows and delivered telling hits that materiahy alded in decid- ing the fight. At first Corbett was cautlous and appar- ently was outpointed by Jeffries, but later he warmed up and showed some of his old-time cléverness. From the first, how- ever, it was generally regarded as a hope- less case for Corbett. He made a gallant fight, but he never stood & show to win. After the fight was over Corbett quickly recovered, walked over to Jeffries and shook him warmly by the hand. He waid: “Jim, you beat me fairly. You stand alow's. No one can touch y PEE————— DR. FOSTER LEAVES OMAHA Resignation Finally Accepted by Chureh and He Will Go to Johnstown, Pa. The resignation of the Rev. F. B. Foster, D. D., as pastor of the First United Pres- byterian church, tendered over a week ago, was accepted vesterday and Dr. Foster, at his own request, released from his position by the Omaha presbytery. This action took place at the reoms of the Young Men's Christian assoclation. The church congre- gation was represented at this meeting by J. 8. Gillesple and Dr. J. H. Vance and the session by Robert Smith. The pres- byteral officers were there. The former action of the church in declining to accept Dr. Foster's resignation was read from the record and then the order of the presbytery made that the resignation be accepted and Dr. Foster released from his charge. Dr. Foster goes to Johnstown, Pa., to become pastor of the Frankiln Street United Presbyterian church, having re- celved a call from there some time ago. His successor has of course not been chosen and a member of the session stated t night that the church would be in no hurry to make any selection or issue any calls, Dr. Foster's action in resigning is at- tributed entirely to the poor health of Mrs. Foster, she being now in a sanitarium in Michigan. Dr. Foster informed the presbytery that the church had always been very cordial and loyal in its relations with him and that the best of fellowship prevailed. The action of the congregation in declining to accept the resignation of Dr. Foster is a testimonial in itself, Dr. Foster came to the First church from Mansfield, O., the home of the late John Sherman, six years ago, and during that time the membership of the church has increased from 125 to 2. His pastorate is pronounced successful throughout. RETAILERS OBJECT TO STAMPS Trading Variety ced at a Largely Atten Meeting. Refereé Gives Jefiries Honors, Referee Eddie Graney said after the fight that it was a great heavywelght contest. “Corbett was clever, but Jeftries was equally 5o and showed marvelous improve- ment. He practically outboxed his oppo- nent during the entire fight, with the ex- ception of the eighth and ninth rounds. Every blow he landed told and his superior welght and great strength was bound to win in the end.” Timekeeper George Harting sald the blows that won the fight were a left to the stomach, followed by a right to the same place as soon as Corbett rose to his feet after taking the count of nine. “It was the best fight Jeftries ever made and astonished even those who had placed implicit faith in his ability to win," said Harting. / During the fight Corbett talked continu- ously to Jeffries and to the referee made & number of facetious remarks. He was game to the end and whenever Jeftries landed & blow made a jesting remark. In the sixth round, after Jeftries had punished him severely, ho remarked to the referee: “Watch him, Eddie; he's trying to knoek me out.” Jeffries only grinned and waded into his man all the harder. Cosbett's system of training was undoubtedly beneficlal to him from a physical point of view, but it ap- parently detracted from his speed. He did not keep away from Jeffries, as was anticl- pated, but kept up close, clinching at every opportunity. He also did some clever ducking, thereby avolding headly blows, but all his cleverness was of no avail. He fought his fight and when the time came Jeffries delivered the necessary blows and was installed more firmly than ever on his pedestal as champion heavyweight pugilist of the world. Corbett was the gallery favorite and every tap he landed on Jeffries was greeted with cheers. It was a sad crowd that watched a native born San Francisco man suceumb to the superior strength of the glant from southern California. is Roundly De- At the meeting of the Retallers’ assocla- tion in the club rooms of the Commercial club last night active 4téps were taken for the suppression of the trading stamp, which is again seeking to secure a foothold in Omaha.
