UN SUFFRAGE GAINS:
Majority of 109 on Second Read
ing of Bi.'Mn Commons.
MEASURE TO BE SHELVED
Mr. Balfour Replies to Premier's
Objections — Mr. Lloyd-George
Favors Principle.
London. July 12.— The House of Com
mons, by a vote of 299 to 190. passed
to-night the second reading of the wom
en's suffrage biil. for which David James
Shackleton. I^bor member from the
Clitheroe division ><( Lancashire, is the.
sponsor. The bill provides for the
eranting of the parliamentary franchise
tr> wotnen who are possessed of the prop
erty qualification and already exercise
the franchise in municipal elections.
The unexpectedly large majority of
109 gives an important impetus to wom
en? suffrage, but many obstacles must
yet be overcome before Ib.p principle i?
legalized by the necessary majority of
14."«. Tli** Hpu?" subsequently referred
the bill to a committee of the whole,
which means that the bill will be shelved
until next year-
The interesting debate showed that
many leading men. including Winston
Spencer Churchill. Secretary for Home
Affairs, and A. J. Balfour. leader of the
Opposition in the Commons, who fa
vored the principle of women's suffrage,
objected to «he present bill and con
tended that the whole country must
pronounce unreservedly in favor of
women voting before Parliament sanc
tioned such a change In the constitu
tion.
Premier Asquith. in a strong speech
against the bill, said that if women had
a vote they must inevitably have seats
in Parliament, and might take the
Speaker's chair or sit in the Cabinet.
Mr Balfour opposed this view. He
said That it was not government by con
sent to exclude a large class of the com
munity from voting.
Chancellor Lloyd -George, a? a strong
supporter of women's suffrage, said that
if the promoters of the bill would prom
jee to reintrodui-* the bill in an accept
able form he would support it. Austen
Chamberlain opposed women's suffrage
in any form.
A treat < rawd suffragists awaited

THE CUBAN "REVOLUTION"
One of the Prisoners Calls Plot a
Stock Jobbing Affair.
Havana. July C— purpose *>f the.
conspiracy for which Colonel Jorge Valera.
the mulatto, and his associates- were ar
rested yesterday, was to compel American
intervention, according to the govern
ment's information. The Secretary of the
Interior has honed an official statement
that it was learned some days ago that
a conspiracy existed with the design of
blowing up bridges and railways, and
the destruction of property of foreigners,
with the hope of compelling this result.
The persona involved being poor and
Ignorant, most of them negroes, the Secre
tary suspected that they were acting under
the* orders of others. Further Investigation
showed that they were In constant com
munication with a stock broker whose
name is unknown. A description of him
lias been obtained, and the police are
searching for h!m. The arrests were de
layed until the four conspirators had
started for Viaja Bermeja, to which a
trunk containing arms and dynamite had
been shipped the same day.
On« of the conspirators. Valeriano Pico,
ha« made a voluntary statement, saying
that the whole conspiracy was, merely an
attempt to make a pretence of an uprising.
Its purpose was not to cause American
intervention, but Simply to break the local
stock market by doing some slight damage
to property. Only four persons were con
cerned In the conspiracy, he said, the eight
others arrested being without knowledge
of the plot. The prisoner added that
the plot was first suggested by an agent
of the Rovernraent. who informed him
that be knew an individual willing to pay
Pico and his four comrades (5,680 each and
also furnish explosives if they would go
into the country and start a pretended
revolution. The government agent de
. lined to give the name of his principal.
but assured Pico that be was connected
with the Bourse, and desired simply to de
press the market.
A few days later three conspirators
started for the scene of operations. Pico
remaining in Havana to receive the
promised $30,000. According to a statement
made to the authorities by one Vicente
Blanco, who professed to have some knowl
edge of the conspiracy, th« prisoner Pico
informed him that Raft fir San Miguel, the
editor of "La Lucita." was the parson
financing the conspiracy. The authorities
apparently attach un Importance to this
charge. Sefior San Miguel sailed for New-
York yesterday.
The newspapers generally deride the idea
that there existed any serious Intention to
attempt the overthrow of the government
or destroy property for the purpose of pre
cipitating another Intervention, and some
of ih*-nj openly charge that the government
fomented Ok so-called conspiracy by
means of secret agents for the purpose of
demonstrating its vigilance.
Throe of the prisoners are said to be
former members of the 5«-cr«>t police in the
Department of the Interior. The affair has
saved to Intensify the prevailing- sentiment
of (Mai and lark of confidence.

M 0 WASHINGTON ALARM
Kaiser's Message Regarded as
Mere Matter of Form.
"Washington. July 12— It was 6aid at the
State Department to-day regarding the re
port concerning the attitude of Germany
toward Nicaragua that no communications
on the subject had passed between the
United States and Germany. No attempt,
it was added, had been made by the de
partment to learn what governments had
recognized Madriz. This course was
adopted because It was believed that the
action of the other governments had noth
ing to do with the complaints which the
American government had against the rule
of Zelaya and Madriz.
The State Department from the first has
believed that the communication to Dr.
Madriz by the German Foreign Office was
purely a matter of form and made without
the slightest regard to the existing condi
tions in Nicaragua.
At the time Madriz sent his letter of
notification to the German government,
similar letters were sent to many countries,
including Great Britain. The British For
eign Office inquired at the American Em
bassy in London as to the attitude of the
United States toward the recognition of
Madriz. As a result Great Britain informed
the American government that it had post
poned recognition of Madriz until it re
ceived further advices from the United
States.
The official? of both the State and Navy
departments are closely watching the de
velopment? in the fight of the Estrada and
Madriz forces In Nicaragua. The navy was
advised to-day of the departure of the gun
boat Paducah from Cristobal for BluefleldF.
where there is much activity. Mr. Win
throp. Acting Secretary, said that there
was no particular significance in that move
ment. This government, however, intends
to be ready for any trouble in that quarter*
The State Department received no dis
patches bearing on the Nicaraguan situa
tion
PAN-AMERICANS MEET
Conference at Buenos Ayres —
Bermejo President.
Buenos Ayres. July 12 —The opening of
the fourth I'an- American conference here
to-day was marked by a large assemblage
of dcleisrates representing the United States
and tbe Latin American republics. Phi
lander C. Knox, the American Secretary of
State, and Dr. V. de la Plaza, the Argentine
Foreign Minister, were named as honorary
presidents. r H~p American delegates were
WPrmly received on all sides, and reports
of s Latin American coalition against the
United States are the subject of ridicule.
The conference wan opened at 4:30 o'clock
This a.'trrnonn. and as many invitations
had been lasaed there was a large attend
ance. All tbe delegates, foreign diplomats,
Senators and Deputies, government officials
and many prominent representatives of
Argentine commercial and professional life
were present. Great crowd? gathered
around tbe hall to watch the arrivals.
The address of welcome was delivered by
r>r. de la Plaza, and Henry White, former
American Ambassador to France, respond
ed in English, in behalf of all the delega
tion.-. Both addresses were applauded.
The Mexican delegate, Sefior Salado, nom
inated Antonio Bermejo for president, while
Rodriguez Larreta. in behalf of the Argen
tine delegation, proposed Henry White for
that honor. Senor Bermejo was elected.
The proposal to elect Secretary Knox and
Dr. de la Plaza honorary presidents came
from the Peruvian delegation It was de
cided that hereafter the various vice-presi
dents should preside at the successive
pc-.-pion^. The conference adjourned until
2 o'clock to-morrow.
Dr. de la Plaza said in his speech that it
was th*> desire of all America, north and
south, that the light of civilization should
shine everywhere, and that liberty, equality
and Justice for the Inhabitants of all coun
tries should be the dominant sentiment.
The basic principle of the Pan-American
conference, he added, was to maintain the
sovereignty and independence of each state,
and such gatherings as the present served
to draw closer the ties of union- and
friendship between the different nations
which paid homage to the Monroe Doctrine.
He recalled the fact that the Pan-American
Congress was the result of the initiative
of the United States and several other im
portant American republics, to which due
recognition should 'be made.
Mr. White, in expressing thanks for the
honor which had been conferred upon him,
responded. to the sentiments of the Foreign
Minister, saying he was convinced that
the words of friendship uttered by Dr.
de la Plaza would serve as an inspiration
to the congress, and the spirit of harmony
would prevail in its deliberations. He
added:
"We are neither North Americans, Cen
tral Americans nor South Americans, but
we feel that we are all Americans."
He pointed out that the Monroe Doc
trine was conceived in the broadest spirit
of brotherhood, and added that the con
gress would conduct its work harmoniously.
Nothing' in American solidarity or in the
increasing friendship between the Ameri
can republics threatened the Interests of
the Old World.
The newly elected president of the con
ference, Sefior Bermejo, expressed his
thanks for the distinction paid to Argen
tina for naming him for so important a
post. He hoped that the conference, in
stead of discussing abstract doctrinee,
would take action on the .. measures which
in the general opinion would assure th©
greatest good to the greatest number. He
believed that the congress would serve to
strengthen the ties which now united the
American republics.
The North American section of the fine
arts exhibition held In connection with
the centenary of the Independence of the
Argentine Republic was opened yesterday.
The American exhibit consists of oil paint
ings and sculptures, and a number of well
known American artists have sent exam
ples of their work.
The international scientific congress held
in connection with the Pan-American gath
ering held its first session .to-day at the
Colon Theatre. Among those present were
various foreign delegates, members of the
diplomatic corps and representatives of the
Argentine ministries. Th« address-?? by
the American delegates were received with
especial marks of approval.

Nicaraguan President I ells of

AMERICAN MARINES IN WAY
Revolutionary Elemant Looking
Forward to Intervention by
the United States.
There was received in thi- city yesterday
a copy of the protest whicl President Ma
driz sent to the governments of Great Brit
ain. Germany, France. Italy. Spain and the
South American countries i gainst the al
leged interference of the conmander of the
American gunboat Paducah with the occu
pation of Blueflelds by the Madriz forces.
So far as is known in this country, the
army of the. Managua government, has
never occupied Blueflelds. and has come no
nearer doing so than to capture Blueflelds
Bluff. The commander' of the Paducah
thereupon took steps to protect the Ameri
can property In Bluefields b> ordering- that
there must be no bombardment of the city
which was occupied by the Estrada faction.
The protest of Madriz to the nations,
however, tells quite a different story. Re
ferring- to the "transcendent and grave af
fair' " Madriz save:
"Our civil war was terminated with the
taking of Blueflelds by our force? "
The head of the Managua government
then goes on to say that, after this sup
posed taking of Bluefields, the America
•-ommander landed marines in Bluefields
■and Intimated that he would oppose our
occupation of the city, which is the cen
tral point of the forces of tbe revolution "
No news has been received here for more
than a week from the revolutionary army
in the interior, but this fact causes no
alarm among: the local sympathizers On
the contrary. they look upon this as a fa
vorable si?n. because it indicates that Gen
eral Luis Mena. the "Mountain Tiger." who
is in command there, has at least lost no
ground. The last heard from General Mena
was that, he occupied the town of St. Vi
cente, the scene of a revolutionary victory
about six months ago. To reach that town
nec *etitated a hard march through swamp
lands and across mountains. News is ex
pected soon of a revolutionary attack on
Aeoyapa. which is considered a most
strategic pgint on the shores of Lake
Nicaragua
The local revolutionary element is
strongly, in favor of the intervention of the
United States in the long drawn out com
bat going on in Nicaragua. It is much
encouraged by the dispatches from Wash
ington of the last few days, that after care
ful consideration of tbe situation in tbe re
public tiiis country Is ready tn take some
steps to end the strife. Pio Bolaflos. for
seven years Nicaraguan Consul in this city,
said :
"We heartily approve of intervention by
the United* States in Nicaragua. It is the
only solution of the trouble and will save
hundreds of lives and millions of dollars in
property. Every Nicaraguan who has any
love Of country or commercial interest to
conserve will welcome American interven
tion. Only those who have nothing to lose
by the continuance, of the war, or perhaps
will profit by it. will oppose the good offices
of this country.'

Liverpool. July 12.— The directors of the
Cotton Association have decided to support
financially any legal proceedings taken by
members arising from the losses suffered
by (V-alings with the Alabama firm of
Knight. Yancey & Co.
A large number of Liverpool cotton firms
suffered hea^y losses early in May through
having made payments on alleged false bills
of lading received from America. The firm
of Knight. Yancey & Co.. which went into
bankruptcy, was charged with having
drawn drafts on Liverpool and other for
eign firms to the amount of several hun
dred thousand dollars against bills of lad
ing representing cotton which never had
been shipped. Several members of the
Liverpool association came to America to
investigate the matter, and there was talk
of attempting to bring criminal proceedings
against members of the firm.

GLACIER JVIAKING RECORD
Alaskan Ice Lake Moving at
Rate of 12 Feet a Day.
Juneau, July 12. — The gi^at glacier in
Rainy Hollow, near Haines. Alaskft, it
was learned to-day, is moving at the
rate of twelve feet a day. Huge masses
of ice an: falling with thunderous noise
over the im-cipice where the glacier dis
charges.
Never before has such rapid extension
of the ice rivers been known in the his
tory of the world, it is said. The theory
is that avalanches caused by earth
quakes arp responsible for the increased
Bow. The National Geographical So
ciety has an expedition in Alaska study
ing the phenomenon.
HEAT WAVE ON THE EBB
Humidity Retires and City En
joys Comfortable Day.
The heat wave which has so sorely tried
New Yorkers for so many days seems to
have at last spent itself. Cooling breezes
were wafted In from the rivers and bay
yesterday, and as a result the hitherto long
list of deaths and prostrations which have
been old Sol's dally toll was materially ab
breviated. One. death and nine prostra
tions made up the total of heat victims for
yesterday. For to-day showers and. a much
lower temperature than yesterday's are
promised. According to Mr. Scarr's ther
mometer the highest point the mercury
reached yesterday was S6 degrees, which
was three degrees lower than on the pre
ceding day. The humidity hovered betwetfi
40 and 60.
Thf»only death attributed to the heat
yesterday was that of Patrick Carroll, who
was the proprietor of a grocery store at
No. '312 East 32d street. He had been com
plaining of the heat for the last week, and
late yesterday afternoon his condition be
came so critical that he was taken to
Bellevue Hospital, where he died only a few
minutes after his arrival.
The climax of the hot spell had a strange
effect upon Frank Vilna, of Garfield, N. J .
who was found yesterday crawling on his
knees in the streets of that town with a
crusr of bread in one hand and a rose in
the other, pouring forth fervent, prayers.
He was Dlaced in an ambulance, still in a
kneeling position, and remained that way
until he reached the hospital. The physi
cians worked over him there for several
hours, and finally succeeded in partially re
lieving him of his odd mania.
Of the nine prostrations in Manhattan
and The Bronx yesterday it was thought
that none would result seriously. The worst
case was that of Charles Dunnlet. of No.
207 Bowery, who was overcome at ~So. 207
Sixth avenue, anfl fell down a flight of
stairs to the basement. He was removed
to the New York Hospital.

Grand Trunk Gets Permission —
New Haven Road Defeated.
Boston, July 12.-The Grand Trunk Rail
way received permission from tli A Railroad
Commission to-day to build a road from
Falmer to the Rhode Island state line as
part of its proposed extension to Provi
dence. The petition of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad Company for a
certificate of public- exigency was refused.
At the last session of the Rhode Island
Legislature the Grand Trunk company ob
tained permission to build a line in that
state from the Massachusetts boundary to
Providence. With the entry ot the Brand
Trunk company into Rhode Island, that
state- will have more direct railroad com
munication with the West.
In an attempt to head off the plans of
the Grand Trunk Railway the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com
pany, which controls the only lines in
operation in Rhode Island, petitioned tho
Railroad '""ommissioners for authority to
build a branch or extension of iV system
from a point on the line of the New Lon
don Northern Railroad, controlled by the
Grand Trunk Railway, in Palmer, through
that town ami Monson, Brimfield, Stur
bridge and South Bridge, to a point on toe
existing right of way of tho New Hav?n
company in the last named town.
Tin- Railroad Commissioners in their de
cision expressed the opinion that as the

MAYOR AT SCHOOL FARMS
Mightily Pleased with Fine Crops
Produced in City's Heart.
"Farmer" Gaynor. of St. James, took a
couple of hours off from hfs mayoralty
duties yesterday to inspect the school
farm? of the pupils of the DeWltt Clinton
High School at 52d street and the Nortli
River. There he had a luncheon which,
with the exception of the biacuits, was
riado up entirely of produce grown by
the children. But the biscuits, as well as
tbe vegetables, had been cooked by the
girl students, and the Mayor was delighted
with all that he saw and ate.
There was a mighty scratching of hoes
and rakes in one hundred garden plots,
each 8 feet by 4 feet, when the Mayor
stepped out of his automobile. He wan
deiVd around and asked the young agri
culturists about their crops. He expressed
much interest in the flax and cotton, which
he bad never seen under cultivation before.
Mrs?. Henry Parson?, who originated the
idea of public school gardens and main
tains a watchful eye over them, told the
Mayor that within the last year seven
families in the neighborhood bad moved
into the country because of tho interest
their children had acquired in agriculture.
The Mayor remarked that it seemed to be
an excellent suggestion for the Committee
on Congestion to consider.
KILLED BY THE X-RAY
Dr. Mihran K. Kassabian, Noted
Specialist, Dead.
Philadelphia, July 12.— Dr. Mihran K. Ka«
sabian. one of the best known X-ray spe
cialists in the United States, died at a hoe
pital her* to-day from skin cancer, con
tracted from burns received during many
years of practice with Rontgen rays.
In common with practically all other
ekiagraphers. Dr. Kaesabian had suffered
for many years with superficial burns in
duced by the mysterious energy given off
in the X-ray. In 1903 Dr. Kassabian's
hands were seriously burned, and in l£>oS
two fingers on his left hand were ampu
tated. Last year an operation was per
formed on bis left armpit, which had been
attacked by the same malady. Several
glands were removed and the wounds
dressed, but they failed to heal, and shortly
afterward a much more serious operation
was performed on th« left pectoral muscles.
After this operation it was found that th*
whole left tide had been affected, and the
phv.^Man'B condition was pronounced criti
cal. Ten days ago he went to the hospital
in a ing condition.
Dr. Kassabian was born in Asia Minor
in ISG9. H* was graduated from th* mis
sionary school of Arsons, and in MM came
to this country. He entered the Medico-
Chlrurglcal Medical College, arid was grad
uated from that Institution In UN
In 1507 Dr. Kassabian published a book on
electro-therapeutics, which has been a
standard work. His numerous papers on
the subject have, in common with other
medical publications., carefully r«fraln«d
from mentioning the dangers of X-ray ex.

SEES "OLD GUARD' FADE
Opposition Expected to Die Out
Before Convention.
WADSWORTH ON HARMONY
After Visit to Roosevelt Speaker ;
Says There Will Be No
Factional Fight.
As a result of recent developments anil
an analysis of "the situation as It looks to
him it was predict?* yesterday by a shrewd \
political observer that the strength v,. th» \
"old guard" opposition to progressive j
measures in the Republican organization a I
this state would fade away I a large •«. ;
tent before the September convention."
It is understood that Timothy '■ Wood- t
ruff has promised to eliminate Mm* ■ ♦
from tho situation, and other leader 3 wffl fc* j
made- to feel th* f»»ntlment of their «»n- 5
stltuents, it is believed. "Only TVimanr '
Barnes, jr.. seems to N» an Irr*cor.ci!ah:e \
reactionary," was the way it appear*- to
the political observer.
As for Speaker Wads-w-orth. he !r.v!t»l
himself down to a«e Colonel Roosevelt at
"The Outlook" offices yesterday, ar.rl lat«r •
sang a sweet aonc of harmony, and saH
he was glad that the form-r President
was taking an active interest ia state poll
tics and in the future cf tbe Reputlicaa j
party. ,
The views of Mr Roosevelt en direct prf- j
martes are, at course, well known, and + *.
is well understood ♦*•.«> Progressives te tta *
organization intend to have a strorj? <J«o {
laration for direct prteariS3 in ta« m I \
state platform. It 13 said that Mr Vizi*, t
worth ha* seen a- great light and *aj pre
paring to modify his attitude. He -wisi:**
it distinctly understood, however, that : *
did not come down to Mi for p»a<-". be jk
ing a fighting man.
After his talk with Mr Rofl**v«lt Spealc
m Wadswcrth said Me had discussed tee
legislative sittntion a* it appeared to him.
and gave his reasons for th* defeat of the
Cobb bill. It r-ould seem tint his irjrrlei
visit to the city was to get the ear of Hr.
Roosevelt before the latter a talk with Gor
ernor Hughes at Sagamore Hill.
The Speaker said he preferred to look
upon the present situation more as a «:Ser 3 ,
ence of opinion on the single question ■' »
direct pri3iarie3 rather than a party «pCt j
He took pains to declare that the taa4 l*g- f
islature had passed all the measures a*k- i .
by the Governor except the measure pro- J
viding for d tract primaries.
"I believe there will be no factional f.?ht
in the next state convention." said th«
Speaker. "V.> will agTee on the best man
to head the ticket and win wo forward •->
victory as we have done In the past."
As for himself. Mr V.'ads\rorth said fc«
had no plans for the future. He did bo?
seek the nomination for Governor, and a*
for returning to the- Assembly, he had sot
made up hi? mind.
Speaker "Wadsworth reached the citron
an early train and saw Mr. Roosevelt a!t?r |
he had a conference with State Chairman j
"Woodruff at the headquarters of the state •
committee. He returned on the Hudson ■
River ni«?ht boat, but expects to have an- *-
other political talk with Mr. Roosevelt \
within a month. *
Congressman William S. Bennet earr!»<i
his boom for Governor up to th-» "Outlook*
office yesterday to display it to Mr. Roose
velt. Before he went into the editorial
sanctum he was all smiles. When he came
out he did not wish to talk about hi 3 pros
pects.
"You know Mr. Roosevelt and I are old
friends:," he said. "He Is friendly, you
know. Ton had better ask him."
Later, when Mr. Roosevelt was told that
Congressman Bennet had left it to him to
talk of the Bennet boom, be replied: \
"What can I say? Well. now, I^dont
know. I don't know."
Mr. Bennet let It be known for the first—
time that it was he who had drawn the
first draft of the \ bb bill, which was th*
compromise direct primary measure. He
said that he would stand for such, a bill
if he were to run for Governor.
Meanwhile, the work of developing senti
ment for the Congressman 13 going ahead
steadily. All sorts of people are being ap
proached for their support, and Oat petition
that is to go to the state convention is
growing apace.
Collector Loeb said yesterday that there
was nothing more to say about his boom,
for Governor that was sprung in Beverly.
'The Tribune stated the situation ex
actly this morning," he declared.
The name of Chairman Willcox of tha
Public Service Commission, sprang to the
front last night in the gossip a3 to pos
sible nominees for the governorship. This
was due entirely to the fact that he had
taken Governor Hughes down to Sagamore
Hill in his automobile in order that they
might have a long talk before the Gov
ernor's visit with Colonel Roosevelt.
A fellow passenger with Chairman Will
cox on the Mauretania to-day will fa e Post
master General Hitchcock. Those who
knew that the chairman had made his
plans to pail on the Mauretaria hastily sug
posted that there night be something ia ,
the suggestion that he desired to talk poii<o»
tics with Mr. Hitchcock on the way acrcst" 4 '
the ocean. The chairman said yesterda?^
it was a trip simply for rest, and that kJM
would not be on the other side more thaix**
ten days.
Governor Hughes, who arrived from A!.«.
bany on the night boat, spent the morning
on personal business and saw no politicians.
He started for Oyster Bay with Chatriaaa
Willcox soon after i o'clock Major ire
crick M. Crossett. his military secretary.
said last night he expected the Governor
back time this morning. Whether h»
will go back to Albany or not In the after
