SHOUTS GREET
Can Hear Cheers of Troops
from His Sick Hoorn
HE WANTED TO SEE THEM
Had Hoped That He Could Watch
Them From an Invalid Couch In
Window of Palace, But Phy
sicians Wouldn’t Allow It.
London, July 2.—King Edward has
passed another good day. The quiet and
routine of the sick room was varied to
day by diversion of listening to the
music and cheers of the Indian troops
aa they marched past the palace and
greeted Queen Alexandra on the bal
cony. King Edward demanded a full ac
count of the review and the formal re
port made by the Prince of Wales was
supplemented by a personal narrative of
the Queen. His majesty dictated a let
ter to the Duke of Connaught, command
ing him to compliment the colonial
troops upon their excellent appearance
and to thank them for their expressions
of loyalty and sympathy which he had
heard with pleasure In his sick room.
King Edward was somewhat disap
pointed that he was not able to see the
march past of the troops. He had hoped
this would be possible from an invalid
couch In a window of the palace, but
the doctors were unwilling that he should
risk this exposure and excitement and
his majesty had to content himself with
hearing the troops without seeing them.
Smok«d a Cigar.
At a late hour tonight the kings Im
provement continued. It was announced
that he had partaker* of a fairly good
dinner and smoked a cigar.
The Prince and Princess of Wales gave
a brilliant dinner at York House tonight
In honor of a visiting Indian prince.
A unique and Impressive scene was wit
nessed in St. Paul s Cathedral this after
noon when some 2000 doctors assembled
beneath the dome and offered prayers for
the king’s recovery. Many of the doc
tors wore their academic robes. A litany
was sung in procession, the doctors join
ing In the Ringing. At the conclusion of
th-i service the congregation sent a mes
sage to Queen Alexandra expressing its
fervent wishes for his majesty’s speedy
recovery.
HEATED DEBATE.
Irish Land Question Causes Long Dis
cussion—Members Wax Wroth.
London, July 2.—A long and heated de
bate on the Irish land question was pre
cipitated in the House of Commons to
night. Thomas W. Russell, liberal, mov
ed the adjournment of the house to dis
cuss the pending evictions from the es
tate of Lord Duferine in Roscommon
county, in connection which that noble
man recently had writs Issued against
several members of the Irish parliament
ary party whom he charged with con
spiracy. Mr. Russell declared that un
less the government intervened to pre
vent these evictions, an era of turmoil
would be inaugurated in the west of Ire
land, where there was trouble enough al
ready. He said he had visited the Dufer
ine estate three times and that he was
thoroughly convinced of Injustice under
which the tenants suffered. The people
there were the poorest of the poor. He
believed one word from Mr. Wyndham,
the chief secretary for Ireland, would
settle the whole trouble and he thought
the reduction of the rents collected on
the estate by 33 per cent would not be
excessive.
Mr. Wyndham replied with some as
perity that he was surprised to find Mr.
Russell sidfng against law and order.
The rents from the Duferine estate, he
said, had been l educed 37 per cent in the
past twenty years, and he knew that
I some of the organizers were making
money out of the agitation. His advice
to the tenants was to pay up. This state
ment was greeted with groans from the
house.
Hundreds had paid up, said Mr Wynd
hem, and this remark was received with
cheers. Many more would like to pay, the
chief secretary added, but they were in
timidated. Mr. Wyndham said it was im
possible to carry out the land purchase
scheme ^n Ireland, when it was inter
rupted by agitators who desired to make
government there impossible.

at Once to Put New Government in Operation—Agrees
With Governor Taft AboutChange in Feeling.
Washington, July 2.—Chairman Cooper
of the house committee on insular affairs
says steps will be taken at once to put
the Philippine government In operation.
"The first Btep." said Mr. Cooper to

thorities, except in the Moro country,
where there is some lingering disorder.
The transfer will "be accomplished by a
proclamation from the President, which
it is understood will be Issued the Fourth

ity to the civil authorities the change will
permit a considerable reduction of the
military force In the islands.
“The next step will De to take the cen
sus provided by the act.
"Governor Taft told me this work
would begin as soon as he reached Manila.
His plan is to have the work done as
far as possible by Filipinos and the com
mission will get up -heir own census sys
tem Instead of having It done by the cen
sus office at Washington.
"As to the general effect of the act we
have Just enacted,” added Mr. Cooper, "I
share the view of Governor Taft who said
that If this bill became a law we would
hear no more of the Philippine problem
than we do of Porto Rico and that the
Philippine problem would gradually dis
appear.”
Mr. Cooper has received the following
telegram from President John Schurman
of Cornell, who was head of the first
Philippine commission:
"Cordial congratulations on your splen
did victory In securing a legislative as
sembly for the Filipinos. Our commission

SOUTHERN ANDL.&N.
IAR IN LOUISVILLE
TROUBLE ARISES FROM THE SHIP
MENTS OUT OR INTO THE CITY
FROM COMPETITIVE POINTS.
Louisville, Ky., July 2.—The Times to
day says:
'War Is on between the Southern Rail
road and the Louisville and Nashville In
Louisville over all shipments out of or
Into this city from competitive points.
The Southerner today Issued a ctrcular
offering to Louisville shippers payment
of drayage on a number of articles which
are sent out of Louisville In large quanti
ties and In which competition with the
Louisville and Nashville Is liveliest. Ac
cording to the Times' statement the ac
tion of the Southern was taken on ac
count of the fact that the Louisville and
Nashville had recently spent a large sum
In terminal and switching facilities In
Louisville, putting the competitive roads
at a disadvantage. While the Louisville
and Nashville will allow non-competing
roads to use the switches on payment of
switching charges, It will not allow busi
ness to or from a competitive point to
pass over its local tracks.
The Southern, by the payment of dray
age to its shippers, seeks to overcome
this disadvantage.
At the Southern office It was admitted
that the circular had been Issued, but
the claim was made that It was simply in
compliance with the inter-state commerce
law.

nings Bryan is not mentioned. Upon the
liquor question the platform says:

people as well as the furtherance of that
cause demands the complete separation
of this question from personal and party 1
politics. We approve the wisdom and
safety of the non-partisan policy which
characterizes our present legislation upon
this subject.’’

In charge of the office In this city, I can

bled the peasant riots In the central prov
inces of Europe In the early spring.
The leaders of the last riots were stran
gers In the district. They were dressed
In fantastic uniforms adorned with deo
orattons. They proclaimed themselves as
agents of the czar and preached the de
struction of all machinery whloh reduced
the number of laborers and brought the
masses to starvation. A fanatical mob In
flamed with this Idea declared war on
the factories In the name of the ozar and

Thousands of Oriental Soldiers Pay
Tribute to Edward VII.

Indian troops today was largely a repe

varied coloring of the uniforms of repre
sentative corps from all parts of Hln
docstan formed an altogether more pic
turesque spectacle. Queen Alexandra was
the central figure of the proceedings. The
review procedur of yesterday was fol
lowed.
About 1300 dark-skinned troops, head
ed by a detachment of the body guard
of the viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, of
Kcdleston, reached the Horse Guard pa
rade to the strains of Sousa’s “Hands
Across the Sea.’’ The members of the
royal family who reviewed the colonials
yesterday traversed the lines of the sol
diers of the Indian Empire.
The Prince of Wales, representing the
King, standing by the side of his moth
er’s carriage, took the salute, and the
proceedings ended like those of yesterday
with cheers for the King, led by the Duke
of Connaught, the Indians drawing their
swords and waving them wildly as they
Joined in uie cheering.
