IS DEEMED UNSAFE
TO REMOVE MILITARY
A Test Made Last Night
by Col. Anderson.
THE GUARDS AGAIN
ABOARD THE CARS
As a Result There was Little
Throwing of Rocks,
WAS VERY QUIET
IN BOTH CITIES
There Will Be no Further Materia)
Reduction of the Troops Here for
the Present?Some Few Inci?
dents That Broke the
Monotony of the
Strike.
That It Is unsafe at this early atice
to remove from the strike region tha
entire body of the military forces, which
have succeeded In putting down the dis?
order that gave fair promise at one timo
of reigning supreme. Is a fact clearly
and conclusively demonstrated by the
test Just applied to the situation. The
comparative quiet of yesterday and last
night, when for the first time In several
days, guards were put back on some of
the cars, Indicated that where l3 the
rnusket there will be order, and that
where It is not there will develop in in?
creasing magnitude disorder, with which
the ordinary police arrangements have
not yet shown their ability to cope.
As a result of this practical conclu?
sion drawn from the plan of tho mili?
tary authorities quietly to feel tho pulse
of the territory In which it is placed, the
movement of troops in any large bodies
from the city has come to a sudden stop.
About one hundred men were granted
furloughs yesterday, but no entire com?
panies were permitted to depart, nor will
be just yet, according to a positive state?
ment from headquarters last night,
The Guards Removed.
During the past few days the soldiers
were removed from tho cars and from
tho street1-, and the quiet which has pre?
vailed hitherto began soon to be disturbed;
yesterday, In the affected regions, the
g-uards were put back again and while
there was some little trouble here and
there, tho stone-throwers, as a general
thing, disappeared from the surface. Tho
lesson drawn from thin experience Is plain
and unmistakable. Colonel Anderson said
last night that It was evident to his mind
that it was unsafe for the present to
carry out the adopted plan for the with?
drawn! of his forces and that he was
governing himself accordingly. Therefore,
the soldiers are to be here yet for awhile.
Among other interesting developments
of yesterday wan the announcement from
the strikers that a stock company was
being formed and would he Incorporated
to start a "bus line, which will parallel
the lines of the street-a-ar company and
crmpete with it for tho trade; another
feature In this direction was tho return
of Organizer Orr. and his expression In
ronuecrlon with the strike as he finds It
after his trip North. On tho side of the
company, the arrest of Farley, ohlef of
the strike-breakers, at the dead of night,
tho suggestion of a plot ngalnst him, and
his examination yesterday before 'Squire
Martin, of Henrlco county, was tho fea?
ture.
In military circles considerable Interest
was aroused In the publication of a re?
port 1 hat tho members of Company M, of
Danville, would ask for tho resignation
of its first officer. Captain Fnrrar. The
prompt, action of tho company in meeting
and repudiating the suggestion was tho
direct outcome of this publication.
The Day More Quiet.
On the whole the day was more quiet
than on tho two preceding. Stones were
thrown In Fulton and on Church Hill
Avenue, and there was trouble on the
River View lines. But as .1 general thing
the presence In some nf the cars of the
military had a salutary effect, and kept
In subjection thoso who had taken ad?
vantage of their absence to create a
disorder,
At the headquarters of Colonel Ander?
son things appeared about the same as
usual. Somewhat stricter discipline was
observed yesterday, but otherwise there
was no change In appearances.
While no other companies left yes?
terday, about one hundred of the men
were relieved by direction of the Gov?
ernor, who Is extremely anxious to see
tlietn all got away as ssoon as possible,
and thus end the expense to the State
of holdipg them here. Those who re?
mained disposed themselves about the
sumo as usual. No men wero kept on
regulnr duty In the streets; some of the
guards wero returned to the cars, partic?
ularly upon those operating nlong tho
OnUwood-llollywood route. In tho after?
noon a number of tlin companies got to?
gether and bad a parade nt the Reser?
voir. There wero two battalions, one
under command of Major Nottingham
and the other under Major Savllle. Nino
or ton companies wero In line.
When he returned to the armory last
night Colonel Anderson was seen In ref
oience to the military situation In gen?
eral, and it was" then that he gave out
the statements to which reference Is
mac!?? above. At that time he was able
tr. get some idea of the result of the re?
turn of the guards to the cars, and he
had heard of not a single disorder. The
trouble since the soldiers were taken off
has not assumed the form of mob vio?
lence, but rather takes the form of Indi?
vidual efforts directed from behind fences
and secluded spots to create a disturb-:
unce,- chiefly by the throwing of stones
and the manipulation of gravel-shooters
and sling-shots. This sort of thing began
soon after the muskets disappeared from
the oars, and It started to increase at
an alarming rate, until the muskets wero
put back again yesterday. .The removal
of the guards was n test which was
completed last night, when they were
returned here and there to their posts,
nnd in the light of this test Colonel An
.(Conttnued on Beeond, J'use?
COULD SETTLE STRIKE.
Organizer Orr believes ifc
would have been possible to set?
tle tho strike could he havo h?id
a calm and dispassionate talk
with General M?anager Huff.
A decision was reached last
night that it would bo unsafe to
make any further large reduc?
tion in the number of soldiers
hero.
Cars guarded last night and
fewer rocks thrown as a con?
sequence.
Inquiry into the death of
Luther Taylor will be held in
Manchester to-day, about thirty
witnesses having been sum?
moned. Col. George "Wayne
Anderson has decided to allow
the military to testify.
The case of strike-breaker
Farley will be heard before
Squire Martin at Henrico Court?
house this morning at 10 o'clock.
The company regards the pro?
cedure as singular.
Quiet prevailed for the most
part yesterd?iy on both sides
of the river. One union man
went to work, and others are
expected to apply soon.
A 'bus line is soon to be
started paralelling the roads of
the car company.
Wires were cut on the Eiver
View lines and the cars stopped
for a while.
QUEER CASE
OF FARLEY
'Squire Martin Like Laws of
Medes and Persians.
TO TRY HIM THIS MORNING
Henrico Justice Desired the Famous
Strikebreaker to Perform the Feat
of Being in Two Places at
the SameTime.
A guard of some twelve or fifteen sol?
diers, with gleaming bayonets and mus?
kets, stood guard at the Henrico court?
house yesterday afternoon, whilo on tha
inside was being tried Farley, the chief
of the strike-breakers, a man for whom
many of tho residents of the neighbor-'
hood of the courthouse, mostly union
sympathizers, held but little love. In their
heart. Some demonstration against tho
prisoner was thought possible, but none
came. Tho proceedings -were over In a
few moments, consisting simply of the
continuation of tho case until 10 o'clock
to-day, though this simple ceremony vms
remarkable in its Interest at times.
Arrested Late at Night.
Thero are now about six warrants
against the chief of the strike-breakers,
charging him with various and sundry
misdeeds. Tho latest development In this
direction, which resulted in tho examina?
tion yesterday, came Wednesday in tha
dead of night In the shape of a new
warrant, or rather a series of them,
forming the tangible evidences of what
officials of tho company are disposed more
or less to believe was a plot or conspiracy
to got Farley Into a serious muddlo and
perhaps get rid of him. 'J'nat suclfa thing
is posslblo Is easy to believe since the
accused Is at this moment perhaps tho
best hated man In Richmond from tho
point of view of the strikers and the
strike sympathizers.
On Wednesday, as stated yestorday
morning, about fifty of Farley's men were
put off. As fast as tho company Increases
the slzo of Its regular fores It makes a
corresponding reduction in the slzo of the
force of professionals, heneo the discharge
of the men. But this was not all. It seems
that tho developments of the day wore
followed by considerable of a stir as a re?
sult of which three strlkai-breakers wero
arrested by tho company. One of them
was charged with trespaslng on tho prop?
erty of tho company and being disorderly;
he appeared before 'Squire L,ewls yester?
day and was- lined $1 and costs. Another
was Thomas Cronogue, charged with
using abusivo language to George C.
I formas ; ho was fined $2 and costs. Tho
third was Frank Roberts, charged with
stealing a pin and $12.;i0 from Henry Hart,
one of the strike-breakers, i nis case was
dismissed, tho evidence tending In no
way to substantiato tha charge.
The other side of the case presented
Itself when two of the men mentioned
above retaliated by swearing out war?
rants against Farley hlmsel. Both
Roberts and Cronogue charged him with
assault and abusive language. The war?
rants were issued about 9 o'clock Wed?
nesday night by Justice Martin, of Ful?
ton, nnd from this tlruo begun the hap?
penings chaarcterized yesterday by .conn- ??
sel for the company ns marvelous jn tlv?
extreme. Shortly after 30 o'clock a con?
stable presented himself at the Reservoir
barns and served the warrant on Far?
ley, who was there at the time. It was
late at night, but the constable was In?
exorable. Farley had an engagement at
?^Continu?e} on Seventh Page.)
TRIBUTES TO
AMERICANS
Cordial Words Spoken at Pil?
grim's Club Luncheon.
THE KINO AND PRESIDENT
Lord Beresford Has Kind Expressions
for Both?Tendency of Great Bri?
tain and America Always to
Drift Together,
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, July 9.?AI-. the Pilgrims'
Club luncheon to tho visiting Amerlcin
officers at the Carlton OJub to-day Vlce
Admlral Lord Charles Beresford read the
following message from the Trinco of
Walc3?
"I very much regret that an engage?
ment will prevent me from being present.
Ploasa assure the American naval offi?
cers how sorry I am that I am not anle
to ha?i*o the pleasure of meeting them on
this occasion."
In proposing the toast of "Tho King, '
Lord Beresford said it was particularly
pleasant to do, owing to recent event-!, Jn
which tho King had been a. messenger of
peace and good will toward all nations.
Tho Interest of the whole world favored
peace. Ho believed tbo day was coming
when King Edward would bo known a,J
"Edward tho Peacemaker.'
Tha toast was drunk with enthusiasm,
and then Lord Beresford toasted, "Presi?
dent Roosevelt," and asked why tho Pres?
ident was liked in England. He added:
"We like the man. Wo lika the strong,
generous man, what I may call the real
human man. Tho President Will do his
level best to bring the two great English
speaKing- nations together In onaj harmo?
nious whole, which is the same idea King
Edward had on the occasion, of 'his visit
to tho President of France."
In proposing "The American Navy,"
Lord Beresford said that whenever there
wag anything disagreeable abroad, Great
Britain and America generally drifted to?
gether. Neither Great Britain nor Amer?
ica wanted an alliance, "but," the speaker
added: "We want an understanding. Ad?
miral Cotton, in replying, testified to ths
warm feeling existing between tie two
nations and their navies, and recalled in?
stances where British and Amerlca-13
had served together. He thanked the King
and the people of Great Britain for the
welcome given to the Americans and pro?
posed tho health of Lord Beresford
amidst gTeat enthusiasm.
After the luncheon Arabassadof Choate
held a reception at hla house In honor
of the American officers.
In informally welcoming1 the American
naval officers to England to-night, King
Edward took occasion to make an em?
phatic declaration In favor of closer re
iarions between the United States and
Great Britain. His Majesty did not speak
of an alliance or even of an understand?
ing, but the impression was clear from
his remarks that ho desired that the two
nations move together in the interests of
the peace of the world. Some of tho
King's mmlstors also took advantage of
the occasion to impress on the American
officers their cordial approval of tha Mon?
roe Doctrine and their desire that It be
supported by American influences in a
way which would place It above all criti?
cism.
The royal welcome was extended to tho
(American officers at Buckingham Palace
where at 8:30 P. M., commenced the din?
ner grlven in their honor by King Ed?
ward. The table was decorated by Mar
echalnetl roses and gold plate brought
from Windsor, was used. The King com?
manded the most distinguished officials
of the Empire to attend and thirty-six
guests were pre.5-ent.
On the conclusion of the dinner His
Majesty in a tactful speech cordially wel?
comed Rear-Admlra! Cotton and his
squadron to England, and proposed a
toast to President Roosevelt, for whom,'
His Majesty said, he "entertained the
highest consideration and admiration."
Ambassador Choate responded and In
an eloquent speech echoed the wish of
tho King for the maintenance and promo?
tion of more cordial relations between tho
two great English-speaking nations.
The King further emphnslzed his grat?
ification by writing at the? table, a mes?
sage to President. Roosevelt In which ho
stated that It had given him the greatest
pleasure to welcome the American squad?
ron.

LONDON, July 0.?The visit of Presi?
dent Loubet to London was brought to a
close early to-day, when the French chief
magistrate left the Victoria Station for
Dover. The scenes and Incidents of his
departure testified to how the Republican

cordial sincerity had captured all classes,
and won that popular good will which
sovereigns ha/ve been unable to achie.-e.
At the station the nation's guest was
met by the King, the Prince of Wales and
others.
As M. Loubet's carriage drew up. King
Edward advanced with outstretched hand,
and, taking tho Pr?sident familiarly by
tho arm, led him through the waiting
room to the royal car. For a few min?
utes the King and 'President stood talk?
ing with much animation. King Edxard
grasped M. Loubet's right bund nnd
shook it with extreme cordiality, while
with the left hand he patted tha Presi?
dent on the shoulder.
Upon his arrival at Dover, jr. Loubet
embarked on tho French cruiser Guichen,
and the'vessel sailed at ones for Calais.
Before his departure, Frosident Loubet
telegraphed to King Edward, thanking
him for the hearty recopdin' accordai!
him, "as the representativo of Franco;
tho friend of England."

"It is my most ardent daslrs that the
reapproachment of our two countries
should be lasting."

HOME, July 10, 6:10 A. M.--It Is re?. ;
ported that when, shortly after sun?
rise this morning, Dr. Lapplno went to
see the Pope he found him with his
hands together In the attitude of
prayer, i On the doctor Inquiring,
whether he wanted anything, His
Holiness replied, "To-day finishes a
week since 1 was taken III. I am
thanking God for having given
strength to still pray to Him." ?

ROME, July 10?? A. M.?The In?
jections given first by Or. Mazzonl
and then by Dr. Lapponl have had
In part the desired effect, as the Pope
has succeeded In getting some sleep,
although his slumber was not entire?
ly tranquil.. The patlents's diet has
been somewhat lightened since the
attack of diarrhoea yesterday, and Is
now limited mainly to meal broth
and beef tea.
POPE LEO'S LIFE
HANGS IN BALANCE
(By Associated Press.)
ROME, July 0.?Another day of alter?
nate hopes nnd fears hns passed, and
Pope Leo's life still hangs In the bal?
ance. Beginning, with renewedi hopes,
the day closed with the scales tending
slowly, but surely,- downwards. How
long this agonizing period of suspense
will last not even the attending doctors
dare to say.
No night bulletin was Issued, but at
12:15 this morning It was learned from
Dr. Mazzonl that the condition of the
Pontiff had not changed since the Issue
of the evening bulletin at 7:30 o'clock,
which announced that the patient's stats
was grave, and at which hour Dr. Lap
ponl has declared his fear that there was
no hope, but that the end might not come
during the night.
At midnight a report, coming from ftie
Vatican itself, gained currency that Dr.
Mazzonl had again operated on the Pope
and extracted serum, which had again
gathered in tho pleural cavity. The rep?
resentative of tho Associated Press Im?
mediately went to see the Illustrious
surgeon, and found him at his home at
1:30 tills morning. Although extremely
tired, Dr. Mazzonl allowed hlmseli to
be interviewed, and said:
"It Is untrue that a new operation
has been performed. I was with the Pope
from 11 P. M. and until after midnight,
and foun?! his general condition station?
ary, no chango having taken place since
this afternoon, when the consultation
with Dr. Hossonl was hold. To strength?
en the patient's heart and help the ?slrcu
latlon of the blood, I Injected camphor
and caffeine, after which the Pope, who'
seemed somewlvat relieved, said he re?
membered being treated with water on'
a camphor basis when he was nuncio at
Brussels, sixty years ago."
Is Very Frail,
Tn reply to a qtiostlon, Dr. Mazzonr
replied;
"I really cannot say whether the serumi
In the pleural cavity haa Increased since
the consultation this afternoon, as t
did not examine His Holiness for such
a purpose. It must be understood that
the Pope Is too frail to be handled Ilk?
other people. Besides, his thOTax,
through old age. has become bent tn
such a way that the right slilo, where
pneumonia was first detected, curves out
In a very pronounced manner, while the
left side curves In. In to-morrow's visit
nttentlon will be especially centered on
tho progress In the secretion of serum.
Thon a decision will bo taken as to
whether a new operation Is necessary.
The tragic death of Monslgnor Volpfnl
was carefully kept from the Pope
throughout the day. It was at first
feared that It would be necessary to In?
form the Pontiff in order that Mgr. Vol
plnl's successor to the oftlce of secretary
of the consistory might be nominated,
but after discussion by the Vatican au?
thorities, It was decided; that the prece?
dents admitted of the nomination of h
secretary without the intervention of the
Popo. The chief Importance of the posi?
tion In felt at the time of the conclave,
ho that If it is considered essential to fill
Mgr. Volpinl's place the Cardinal Cam?
erllngo will designate a secretary of tho
consistory. This procedure will permit of
the news of Mgr. Volpinl's death being
withheld from the Pope Indefinitely.
Received Cardinals.
When the amelioration In the condition
of the Pope presented such favorabh
symptoms this morning, Pope Leo de?
cided after Cardinal Rampolla, to receive
also all the other cardinals living In
Rome, to the number of about twenty?
five, as a special mark of his gratifica?
tion at the part they took in his Illness.
A special notice was sent calling them
to the Vatican. In fact. Cardinals Oreg
11a. Gotti and Pella V'olpa wero receivid
and had a short conversation with His
Holiness, but soon after the danserou*
condition of tho patient developed, com?
pelling rie. Lupponl to stop the other
receptions.
When a consultation was decided upon
Dr. Rnsslnl being already In the ant?.'
chamber, Dr. Lapponl cautiously ta? ;
