Troops Will Stay.
Tamaqua. Pa , Aug. 23. Acting up
on the advice of General Gobin, the
officers and men of the First battalion
of the Twelfth regiment, stationed
here, sent to Shenandoah for their full
equipments and their personal effects.
This would indicate that General Go
bin has decided to keep a detachment
of troops in the Panther Creek valley
for some time. The Mine Workers
sent a petition to Governor Stone ask
ing that the troops be recalled. It is
rumored here that the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation company is preparing
to mine coal under the protection of
the troops. The officials refuse to af
firm or deny the report.
For American Ships.
New York, Aug. 23. Referring to
the fact that the construction of the
Panama canal will necessitate the
transportation of hundreds of cargoes
of construction mateiial food sup
plies for workmen, etc., the Journal
of Commerce says: 'Panama and
Colon are foreign ports, and there is
nothing therefore to prevent foreign
shipowners from competing at low
rates for carrying material. It is said
by a representative of the Panama
canal interests that the material re
quired in the construction of the canal
will certainly exceed fl0.000.000, in
addition to food supplies. This mater
ial will consist very largely of cement,
granite, lumber and machinery. The
lumber will undoubtedly come largely
from Oregon and that section of the
country and will not be a matter of
much concern to ship owners on the
Atlantic ocean, but in the case of ce
ment and machinery and stone, the
items will be of great Importance, and
communications have already been
Bent to the government at Washing
ton with a view to seeing if some way
cannot be decided upon whereby this
enormous carrying movement may be
confined to American ships."

PERMISSION GRANTED
Premier of Newfoundland Wins a Point
In Bond-Blaine Convention.
WILL SEEK TO HAVE IT RATIFIED.
After Twelve Years of Persistent
III. t -1 the Statesman Is Author
le to Reopen Negotiations
at Washington.
London, Aug. 23. Sir Robert Bond,
the premier and colonial secretary of
Newfoundland, sailed from Liverpool
for Montreal on the Allen liner Pre
torlan, "on his way to Washington
with full power from the Imperial gov
ernment to reopen the negotiations,
through the British charge d'affaires,
for the ratification of the Bond-Blaine
convention.
The Bond-BIalne convention was a
special agreement entered Into about
10 years ago between the late James
G. Blaine, then secretary of state, and
the premier of Newfoundland. The
convention on the part of Newfound
land granted to United States fisher
men considerable privileges in regard
to purchasing bait, and largely reduc
ed the duties on a considerable class of
American imports into Newfoundland.
The United States, on its side, opened
its markets to Newfoundland fish and
raw products, and confirmed the priv
ilige of transportation of fresh fish in
bond to the United States markets.
The Newfoundland premier has de
clared himself in favor of free trade
with the United States. His success In
obtaining imperial sanction for his
present American visit Is the culmina
tion of 12 years of persistent effort,
and only this week was he able to con
vince the government of the injuries
done to Newfoundland by the non-ratification
of the convention and secure
its consent to the resumption of the
reciprocity negotiations.
The premier will lose no time In get
ting to work and the British charge
d'affaires will communicate with the
state department shortly after his ar
rival in America.

culars containing a more recent pic
ture of the missing man than has yet
been issued by the department are
being prepared and will be sent broad
cast over the country. Edward Coun
selman, the intimate friend of Barth
olin, who was held by the coroner's
jury for complicity in the murder, was
removed to the county jail. Inspector
Hunt made several efforts to induce
the prisoner to talk, but they were
fruitless. Counselman was greatly
agitated and cried frequently, but
would confess to nothing.

dent Roosevelt entered upon his New
England tour and New Haven was
first point visited by the nation's ex
ecutive. The yacht Sylph bearing the
president, was sighted off New Haven

hour later the vessel was Iving along
side Belle dock, having made the run
up New Haven harbor to the accom
paniment of universal salutes. The

To Save the Club.

letic club have decided to take active
steps to save the organization from
going to pieces and to that end have
authorized President G. S. Whitson to
name a committee of 10 to confer as
to the plan of action to be followed
The idea prevailing now is to change
the club from a proprietory one to a
members' organization. This step is
a direct result of a suit brought by
Adrian Iselln against-John H. Ballan
tlne and Jflhn D. Adams to foreclese
a mortgage of $400,000 on the build
ing occupied by tbe club.

don, in whose welfare she is greatly
Interested.
TWO VESSELS
Can lie Spared From the Venezuelan
'oast.
Washington, Aug. 23. The state de
partment is in receipt of a cablegram
from Minister Bowen, at Caracas,
laying that he could spare two of the
wat vessels now in Venezuelan wat
ers. This information is taken to
mean that the fituation in Venezuela
has improved so far that little dangei
now threatens American interests.
The fact that two of three Ameri
can warships now in Venezuelan wat
ers can be spared will permit the
navy department to dispatch the Mar
ietta to Colon, to which place she was
procveding when in r iponse to Min
ister Bowen's call she was diverted
to Venezuela. The maintenance of an
American warship on the gulf side of
the isthmus is necessary to insure
railway transit across the isthmus.
The Topeka will be ordered north Im
mediately and she will be followed
by the gunboat Machlas as soon as
Commanded McCrea considers it safe
for him to leave Cape Haytien. The
latter ship has had a long siege in
tropical waters, having been station
ed at Colon for some time before she
went to Hayti. The departure of these
two ships for home will leave the
Cincinnati in Venezuelan waters and
the Marietta on the coast of Panama
to look after American interests.

Columbus, O., Aug. 2:',. Hon. Cle
ment L. Brumbaugh of Greeneville.
representative from Darke county and
leader of the Democratic minority in
the house, says the governor's code
for the government of the municipal
ities of Ohio will be passed by the
house, substantially as introduced in
that body. Governor Nash has yield
ed to the general demand that the
line of division befween cities and vil
lages in the municipal code be left un
changed. The figures 10.000, conse
quently, have been stricken out and
5,000 inserted in their place. The gov
ernor denied with emphasis a report
that he had cut out of his bill all ref
erence to the election laws and that
he made other changes in the draft,
which Is now complete. "The only
change 1 have made,'' he said, "is to
fix the dividing line between cities and
villages at a population of 5.000 in
stead of lO.OOd.'"

ed condition about the lower floor of

FOG ENVELOPS OCEAN.
Elements Favor the Squadron Under
Commander J. E. Pillsbury.
NO SIGN OF THE IMAGINARY FOE.
Rear Admiral Hlgginson and Ills
Naval Adlsers Continue to De
fend New Kngland (oast In
Successful Manner.
Rockport. Mass., Aug. 23. Those
participating in or watching the war
maneuvers of the navy found things
favorable to the squadron under Com
mander J. E. Pillsbury, which is try
ing to make a landing on the New
England coast between Portland. Me.,
and Provtneetown, Mass., while Rear
Admiral Hlgginson and his vessels de
fend the Beaboard. A fog so thick that
the water of the harbor could not be
seen from naval headquarters shroud
ed Cape Ann and the adjacent ocean,
yet for miles in the bright clear at
mosphere objects at sea could clearly
be seen.
When the sun came up the atmos
phere was as clear as it could be. and
extended observations were made from
all signal and lookout stations. Each
reported that all was well and that
there was no sign of the enemy. The
receipt of these early messages inter
rupted the quiet Whici bad prevailed
at the naval headquarters here sm
2 a. m. unbroken save by one report
received from Portland, at 3:4." a. m.
This report was like most others sent
in. that ali was quiet The report add
ed that scout boats were sighted out
side the harbor.
It was not long after sunrise that
the fog set in. It was a dense loud
and first impenetrable to the eye be
youd a distance of 10 or 12 feet. Just
before 9 o'clock there were indications
that the sun was burning through the
mist on shore.
Aside from the fart that the Kear
sarge. at least, was still at anchor off
this place, little was actually known
here as to the positions of the various
ships of Admiral Higginson's squad
ron. Scouts had been reported oft
Portland. The cruiser Brooklyn
skirted the etui of Cape Cod early in
the forenoon, and went across to Ply
mouth. Thus both ends of the line of
defense were said to be well guarded,
and as the naval experts here felt rea
sonably sure that the Alabama and
Massachusetts were with tbe Kear
sarge off Straitsmouth Point, the ren
ter was thought to be sate. The sta
tion keepers here have t n advised
that the lookout line lias been extend
ed to Sankaty bead on Nantucket,
where tbe wireless telegraph station ll
located. From there all Incoming ships
will be queried as to whether or not
they have seen any of Commander
Pillsbury "s ships and the results of
these Investigations Will be signalled
to the scout boats or the land stations.
By 11 o'clock the (Og bad lifted and
the battleships were seen in their OS
uai positions. Observation In the dis
tance, however, was Impossible owing
to a haze which hung low over the
water, All 'be signal and lookout sta
tions report, d during the forenoon,
showing that the message system was
intact. All the scout boats were heard
from before ll o'clock, either at the
station here or on board the Kear
