FRENCH WINE CRUSADE" GOES ON
Marcclin Albert Suffers Considerable
Diminution in Influence.
Argellicrs, France, Juno 2U. Mar
velln Albert, the leader of the wine
growers' movement, appears to have
buffered a considerable diminution in
influence. H1s speech before a big
meeting of citizens, In which he de
scribed his Interview with Premier
Clemenceau at Paris on Sunday,
sounded curiously like a defense. Al
though he was greeted by cheers from
uurne 3 ,000 people, he frequently was
interrupted. The "apostle" addressed
his followers from the roof of a house.
He related In detail the incidents of
his trip to Paris and hla reception by
the premier, who received him as a
Iriend and pressed upon him 100
francs to pay his passage back.
Albert indignantly denied that he
wept In the presence' of the premier.
M. Clemencouu gave him this mes
sage: "Will you go bacK and assemble the
federated committees and tell them
that I will not disarm until they aban
don their Illegal attitude."
After reflection, Albert said, ho un
dertook the mission and would now
leave It to the delegates of the com
mittees to decide what course should
be taken. If they were for continuing
the movement, he would go to Mont
peller and surrender.
After a stormy discussion, lasting
wore than two hours, during which
Albert was savagely attacked, the
delegates decided to continue the
struggle with unabated vigor.

plains tho snow cap of the South pole
of Mars Is much larger than that of
tho North pole and the melting of this
has been seen under excellent condi
tions. The cap at first observation
was enormous in extent, covering an
arc of more than 100 degrees on the
planet's surface. At a Becond observa-!
tlon this cap had diminished greatly
and at Its base were certain appear

out his belief in vegetation there.
Photographs of the planet have been
taken recently and Mr. Lowell has
with him pictures showing two canals.
The planet reaches Its closest prox
imity to the earth the middle of next
month. Mr. Lowell has prepared for
this event by sending an expedlt'on
to South America, where It can be bet
ter observed.

pany fioin Interfering with the opera
tions of the 2-cent fare law; the

disobeying orders issued by the state
railroad commission. With the tran

great reduction in Interstate rates,

tion of the commission that people
buying Interstate tickets buy to the

STORM DAMAGE AT LINCOLN
IDEA OF PARADE GIVEN UP
'Frisco People Inclined to Regard Gen
erela Funston's Remarks as Unjust.
San Francisco, June 26. The
Fourth of July committee, after a two
hours' session, drafted a reply to Gen
eral Funston, iu which the latter's inti
mation that United States troops
would not bo safe from Insult in the
streets of San Francisco was repudiat
ed and the general's offer of troops
declined because the idea of a parade
had been abandoned.
The reply covered both the original
letter from General Funston, dated
June 17. and a later communication,
in which the general explained at
greater length his reasons for advis
ing against the parading of troops.
He declared that the expression, "as
yet uiiwhipped mob," was intended to
apply to a certain lawless clement 111
the community and not to the com
mittee. He closed by offering troops
lor a parade on July 4 with the state
ment that it was up to tho people of
San Fiancisco to deal with any disor
der that may occur. The committee,
in Its reply, stated that it did not take
the general's expression as a personal
Insult, but stigmatized as unjust the
accusation that United States troops
would bo unsafe In San Francisco's
streets.
