In two in- stances the troops fired on_ the crowd, wounding three persons. Fifty arrests were made, after which order was re- stored. Nineteén persons were injured in to- day’s disturbances, and at the hospitals three persons who received injuries in the rioting of Wednesday night @led. Six thousand troops came to Warsaw to-day from their summer encampments. Mar- tial law was proclaimed late to-night. It Is announced that the coronation day service will be held in the private chapel | of the castle to-morrow, instead of in the cathedral, as is usually the case. The change, it is understood, is due to re- ports that another bomb attack on Gov- ernor General Maximovitch has been planned. to take place while he is on his way to and from the cathedral. ST RACE CLASH IMMINENT. Jews and Christians of Zhitomir Sald to Be Arming. ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.—The council of the empire has increased the appropriation for public education by $625,000. Private reports from Zhitomir, pro- vince of Volhynia, say the tension be- tween the Jews and Christians is in- creasing and that both sides are arm- ing. The Ignatieff commission, for the re- vision of laws designed for safeguard- ing public order, has pronounced against a continuance of the minor state of slege which is an- nually declared in many Russian cities. The commission finds that it leads to great abuses and arbitrariness and furnishes a pretext for domiciliary visits and summary arrests. The com- mission recommends the entire aboli- tlon of the so-called minor state of siege and the substitution at times of great public stress of martial law, so as to leave the citles either in a normal condition, with the civil authorities in full,sway, or entirely under the control of the miiitary. organization and that it would be an extreme act of disloyalty to go back on their leaders In a time of trouble. The first man to be won over to-day came to the Mayor's office with a dele- He was Charles E. Connell of the Common Council. There was another demonstration when the Mayor left the City Hall to- day for luncheon. His reception as he walked along the streets with Director of Public Safety Potter was a noisy one. He entered the University Club after much effort and after remaining there about an hour returned to the City Hall in a cab. A crowd of about 300 persons followed him to his office. As he entered, some one proposed sing- ing the “Star-Spangled Banner,” which was done with all hats removed. An incident of the day was the calling on the Mayor of a delegation of high school girls, who came to congratulate him. The Mayor's mail continues to be very heavy, hundreds of communi- cations coming from all parts of the United States. S AFTER CAR LINES. Proceedings Begun Against Chicago Street Rallway Companies. CHICAGO, May 2%.—What is regarded as an aggressive move in the efforts of Chicago's municipal ownership votaries to obtain a legal decision as to the hold- ings of the street car companies was made to-day when quo warranto pro- ceedings seeking to learn by what ou- thority the City Railway and the Union Traction Company continue in their -ise of the streets were begun in the Superior Court in the name of the State's Attor- ney, The petition for judicial inquiry al- leget that the companles have exceeded their franchise rights by a ‘substitution | of electricity for ‘horsepower as origi-1{ nally granted, and have thereby forfeited | their claim to the use of the streets.

WASHINGTON, May 26.—Pending the answer of the Washington Government to the Canadian Government's contention that the law establishing the Interna- tional Waterway Commission provided that all international waterways between this country and Canada be included in the scope of the committee, no further meetings will be held. The next meeting will take place at Toronto, after the de- cision of Becretary Taft regarding the law. * In addition to the St. John River ques- tion there are also questions about the Milk River, Rainy River and other small streams between the two countries. It was pointed out by the Canadians that as the country in that section was de- veloped, new controversies would be sure to arise which it would be necessary to refer to some commission. —_———— FOUR GOVERNORS WILL TAKE PART IN PARADE Pardee One of the Executives Who Ac- cept Invitation to Visit Port. land Fajr.

CINCINNA' Ohio, May 25.—The cele- bration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Cincinna#i Commerelal Club closed to-night ‘with a banquet, at which the speakers discussed the questions of the day. Secretary of War Taft made the principal speech, on “Policy and Prac- tice,”” saying in part: “If the Panama canal were inside the territory of the United States, of course, all material used on the canal could pay duty or be bought in the United States, but as the construction of the canal is a number of days’ journey from the tariff wall of the United States it presents ex- actly the same case as is presented in the case of the Philippine Islands. Now, if Congress wants to pay more than France was willing to pay, then they are at lib- erty to do so, but in the absence of a rule we feel we must carry out the rule that applies. The law requires that, prices and quality being the same, we must buy American goods. In the ab- sence of a rule we feel bound by our trust to build as cheaply as possible. We submitted the question to Congress on this line, asking Congress to lay down a rule. If there is no rule we must build as a business man would build. Now, there is no question of protection or free trade; it is merely a rule—our duty un- der the law as it stands. If the rule or law is changed, we must change.” He explained the present status of the Interstate Commerce Commission, calling attention to its reference to ‘“‘unreason- able rates” and the position of the Inter- state Commerce Commission on the mat- ter. He insisted that the measure pro- posed was a very moderate measure, and that it was unfair to denounce it so se- verely as had been done. He believed the changes proposed by the Esch-Townsend biil will result in good. President Lucius Tuttle of the Boston and Maine Railway spoke of “The Rela- tion of the National Government to the Rallways.” OADALE BANK N A0 SHhpE STOCKTON, May 2.—The latest devel- opments in the affairs of the Oakdale Bank, the cashier of which, Louis Kahn, Is lying at the point of death from a sel?. inflicted bullet wound, show that the bank has totally collapsed.

G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review will say to-morrow: Improvement is reported in retail trade although weather conditions are still far from ideal, and excessiverainsretardag- ricultural progress sufficiently to cause conservatism among dealers; yet confi- dence in the future is the prevailing sen- timent. Building operations make favor- able comparisons with recent years, and there is little controversy regarding wages or hours of labor. Foreign com- merce at this port for the last week shows little change in comparison with the same perfod a year ago, exports de- creasing $221,7%, while imports gained $500,956. Railway earnings thus far re- ported for May exceed those of a year ago by 8 per cent and after falling to the | lowest point of the year prices of securi- | ties recovered materially. Money is abun- | dant.and easy, and commercial payments are more prompt in most sections of the country. No diminution of strength is noted in raw wool, and the mills are also correspondingly firm in thelr views. Tan- ners have exhibited no interest in the Chicago hide market during the paet | week and as a natural result quotations show a downward tendency. The depression extends to imported dry hides. Western country hides are rela- tively firmer than other divisions of the | market. Failures this week number 211 in the United States, against 226 last year and 19 | in Canada compared with 1T a yvear ago. | Bradstreet’s to-morrow will say: Wholesale trade is reasonably qulet, pending a clearer view of the crop put- turn, which, owing to irregular or unset- | tled weather in wide areas, still lacks definite form. Cool weather is still a bar to fullest activity at retail. Manufac- turing activity Is still in large volume on orders previously booked. Speculative markets for wheat teflected the tech-| nical conditions and shert supplies in primary markets more clearly than they do the slight deterioration in quantity and quality indicated as resulting from recent backward weather. Collections re- flect little more than seasonable slow- ness, and money is e: and in abun- dance. Rather more friction in labor matters 1§ noted at Chicago, the expected ending of the teamsters’ strike being de- leyed. Some few points of labar friction are noted in other cities. Despite efforis to accentuate less favorable happenings for stock speculative purposes, there is still abundant evidence that the country's consumptive requirements are on a large scale, heavily exceeding a year ago at | this time, and the movement can be ma- terially quickened by more seasonable weather, allowing of belated retail buy- ing materfalizing and ordinary crop de- velopments occurring. Railway earnings for the first half of the month of May exceed a year ago by 6.5 per cent. Business failures in the United States for the week ending May 2 number 179, against 191 last week, 194 in the like week in 1904, 181 in 1903, 163 In 1902 and 144 in 1901. In Canada failures for the week num- bered 14, as against 17 last week and 14 in this week a year ago. ‘Wheat (including flour) exports for the week ending May 25 are 1,221,209 bushels, against 1,125,550 last week and 1,132,- 157 this week last year. From July 1 to date the exports are 57,221,207 bushels, against 126,009,221 last year and 154,360,709 in 1903. SHIPPING TRUST HAS NEW HOME Big Combine Moves Into the Building Erected for It in the British Metropolis MANY LINES TOGETHER Statue of King George III by Accident Occupies a Spot Directly in Front Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, May 26.—There are re- minders of American trade conquests in several prominent places in London, and the number has just been increased by the opening of the new offices of the International Mercantile Marine Company, better known as the Morgan shipping trust, in Cockspur street, close to Charing Cross. Scon after the for- mation of the combine it was decided to consolidate the London offices of the various lines comprising it under one roof, with which object a handsome building was speclally constructed. Hereafter Americans who come to London will find themselves able to deal at the same counter with any one of the seven lines now under the In- ternational Marine Company’s control— the White Star, the American, the Red Star, the Dominion, the Hoiland Ameri- can, the Atlantic Transport and the Leyland line of steamships. The steamship headquarters, which are handsomely fitted up, are on the ground floor. The three upper floors of the building have been turned into suites of offices, which, on account of the location, will be among the most desirable in London. By an odd chance the American com- bine's London headquarters has been built directly behind an equestrian statue of George III, which has stood for years at the junction of Cockspur street and Pall Mall i ‘Withdraw Ald From Strikers.

Hendy, aids to the Governor, and many priests of San Fran- cisco and bay citles, including the mv.‘ Father Phillp O'Ryan, spiritual director | of the League of the Cross. The judges of the competitive drill were Captain Ar-| thus Kerwin, Thirteenth Infantry; Licu- tenant Frederick Coleman and Lieuten- ant H. A. Hanigan, Thirteenth Infantry. | The programme opened with a concert | by the band under direction of Lieuten- | ant E. G. Williams, and at the close the first, second and third battalions marched ipto the spacious hall with a dash and precision that won instant and hearty ap- | proval. General Funston received the review, and then followed the competitive dril for the Colonel E. J. Power trophy. Com- pany D, Captain. Andrew Burke com- manding, was the first to give challenge. Company A, Captain P. H. MecCarthy commanding, showed a soldierly. well, knit, bright lot of young men, and Com- pany N, Captain H. J. Leonard command- ing, with a host of its fellow-townsmen from Oakland well to the fore with en- couragement, presented also a smart ap- pearance and drilled well. Company L, Captain Frank Grimley commanding, brought upon f{tself compliments, "then applause and at the end of the drill a loud outburst, not alone from Mission Do-. lores parish, to which the company be- longs, but from the representatives of all other parishes present. Every ricvement was watched with the keenest interest. And when ‘t was all over and the judges retired to count up the points, the announcement came not as a surprise that Companies D and L | had tied, each with 287 1-3 points out of a vossible 300 The judges announced that the two rival companies must go through three movements of ten points each, and this resulted in Company D’'s scoring twenty- nine points and Company L, 25, Then Sacred Heart Parish cheered for | its men, the victors, and tHe Rev. Father | Philip Ryan hastened forward and con- | gratulated Captain Burke. Archbishop Montgomery pinned the trophy medal on | the captain’s breast. Father McQuaide | was elated because, for the second time, | Company D had proved victors in the bloodless contest. There was a strong contrast afforded | by the fancy squad drill by Company O, Captain Thomas O’'Day commanding. The young men were attired in green blouses and executed a silent drill with splendid effect, the only word of command issuing | from Captain O’'Day being a short, snappy | “Hep,” and left about or right about, | halt, attention, march, all followed the command, “Hep,” which with all the serfousness and excellence of the drill, evoked hearty laughter.

Professor Groedel is quite satisfied with the effects the tak- ing of the baths have had on Hay, but he has advised him to abstain from all official business for several months, such a course being usually necessary after this course of treatment. Secretary Hay expects, therefore, to spend the summer at his country home and to remain there until the autumn. During his visits to London and Paris Secretaxy Hay will remain very qulet and will make no formal official calls. The call of King Leopold of Belgium upon him Thursday took the Secretary completely by surprise, as the visit was not announced beforehand. —_——— Ploneer Woman Drops Dead.
