Kxtra Supply of Bread Prepared In Anticipation of the Legal Rest Day. , PARIS, Oct. 7. The threatened strike to day of the bakers, of Paris, In conse quence of the enforcement of the weekly rest day regulation, did not occur and todar passed without incident. Because of the presence throughout the day of 4.0U0 special policemen and &M Republican Guards, patrollng before the bakeries, as well as detachments of armed infantry posted at the various police stations, the city had more or less the appearance of being under military law. The working bakers decided unanimously not to strike and consequently 1.88.1 among the total of 3,090 bakeries in Paris have baked a double quantity of bread and this evening the stores are busy supplying customers with an extra quantity, in view of the closing of the bake shops tomorrow.'

SELF-GOVERNMENT FACTION IS STRONG m B Another (amp la Persistent In Its leaaaada that Saw la the Time for Annexation to the t nlted States. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Speclal.) Two great camps are In process of forrnation ovtr present conditions in Cuba. One camp, represented by the president and his political advlrors, la In favor of giving the Cubans another trial to govern them selves. The other camp la persistent In tary T"ft that intervention was but leen- potary. pending an agreement amongst the several poiitlrnl ructions in luDa to get together on some common basis. President Roosevelt has maintained his position that intervention did not mean annexation; that under the Plstt stnendment the American nation had no alternative but to Inter vene pending a satisfactory peace between contending Interests In the Isliind. But on the other hand Senator Klklna. Senator Bevrrldge snd other leading states men are openly asstrtln;? thot the tempo rary Intervention on the part of the t'nlted States will become permanent, snd that it I ' " ot the American government j ,u ln hoisting the Stars and Stripes over the island and to keep Old Glory fly lug In the breese. No one doubts here the president's desire to mnke our Intervention ln the affairs of Cuba but a matter ot a few months, and yet private advices from the isliind would seem to Indicate there Is a powerful party In the Gem of the Antilles for annexation, and that party has already begun a propa ganda. Panama's Advantage. Panama occupies much the same, relation to the I'nited States ai Cuba. It has. how ever, this one advantage over Cuba, that there are ti.ono Americans employed on the Panama canal and living in the canal sone, which politicians regard as a decided help toward steidylng the Panama republic. While It Is true Governor Magoon was sent as a special commissioner to supervise the election in Panama, his report con firms the p'optsltlon that the Panamaan Is beginning to realise the difference be tween Latin politics and those of the United States and he Is striving with all his power to reach a higher standard of government than Is usually associated with Latin Amer ican countries. - From a thoroughly reliable source It Is learned that immediately after the crisis was reached In Cuba the president had In mind Governor Charles E. Magoon as pro visional governor of the island to succeed Secretary Taft, whose presence in Washr Ington is greatly needed. In this the presi dent had, the worm and. earnest support. of Secretary Root, "who.' while""- steadfast friend of Governor Magoon, recognised In the Nebraakan the essential - qualities needed in bringing the Cuban people to a more "perfect understanding of the Ameri can, -both officially and socially. Governor Magoon came from Panama with the un derstanding that he was destined to the Philippines as vice governor of those isl ands Rumor, however, had preceded the arrival of Governor Magoon in Washington that he was to be thrown Into the Cuban breach, there to remain aa provisional gov ernor until another election for president could be had. But when Governor Magoon had his first talk wfth the president In con Junction with Secretary Root, the chief ex ecutive and hla secretary of state agreed that Secretary Taft had gone too far tn hla promises to mske Beekman Wlnthrop. the present governor of Porto Rico, provisional governor of Cuba, and that the program as originally made up for Governor Ma goon should go' on. President's First Wish Prevails. During Wednesday, however, there was considerable cable communication between the White House and the palace In Havana over the succeesorship to Secretary Taft, who. after ascertaining what the impres sions of the president and Secretary Root were agreed that Governor Magoon was the right man for the place and that Gov ernor Wlnthrop, who has made a splendid record ln Porto Rico, could well afford to be continued In the position which he now holds. In this connection it may be farther said that there wan no "backing and till ing" on the part of President Roosevelt, as some of the newspapers have Indicated, so fur as Governor Magoon's selection for the Cuban mission is concerned. The idea originated with President Roosevelt to send Magoon to Cuba and when It was learned that Secretary Taft had gone so tar as to name his successor ln the. per son of Beekman inthrop, wnne it was acqulesed In by' both the president and Secretary Root, Washington felt that Ma goon was muuh more peculiarly equipped for the position thsn the distinguished Wlnthrop of Massachusetts and Magoon'a selection Is the outgrowth of a conference between President ' Roosevelt and Secre tary Root, who urged the change upon Secretary Taft In view of Magoon's achievements In Panama. In other words. Governor Magoon will tuke up ln Cuba much the same work that he laid down in Panama when he was selected as vice I . th P!,lllmtns I While Governor Magoon expects to be re- ' are many people In Washington today who believe that Cuba will never see anotht r ' election except conducted under American ' auspkos lor Americans as a territory of the United 8tatea. .. j Maaoon's story oa Root. j Governor Magoon brings back an ex oeedlngly funny story In connection with the visit of Secretary Root to Panama.

Oct. 7 A provision lu 1 the naval appropriation bill rracted at the last session ot congress, authorised the secretary of the navy "to contract for or purchr.se subsurface or submarine torpedo boats to an amount not exceeding ILCXi.C). after such tests as he shall see tit to pre scribe." To prescribe and supervise the tests S-crctar v ItonaDaite appointed a board consisting of Captain Adolph Marlx, Jr., Naval Constructor W. T. Taylor, Com- ! manders C. W. Dyson and Cleland Davis snd Lieutenant John W. Tlinmlns. with Ensign Frank IT Sadler as recorder. The hoard has agreed upon the nattire of the tests and the time and place, which are required to be within nine months from the date nf the pasrag- of the law. The boats must be -i ady for trial on February IK, 197. at Xarragansett bay, where the test are to be made; and the trials must be completed by Msrch 2. 1907. The tests are to be comparative. In the opinion of the board, It Is not practicable to have simultaneous competitive tests. The trials will be over a measured course, under various conditions, that Is. ln the "light" condition with all ballast tanks empty, in the "awash" condition with the vessels showing not more than half of the conning towers, and In the submerged condition with the connirtc tower not lss than ten feet below the silrrace. The boats will be put through all sora of maneuvers, the time and the nature of the perform ance of each being noted by the board. The vessel's behavior In oeawsy slso will be determined. In a submerged, run each vessel will discharge all of Us torpedoes at a suitable target, observations on the target being made without coming to the surface. Designs for mining, countermining, cable cutting and handling torpedoes will be tested; the strength, material and work manship of each vessel will be examined; Its habitablllty will be .determined by a twenty-four hour submerge, and after the trial all machinery -will he dismantled for examination by the board. It Is required that every boat to be tested shall be submitted to the board com plete In every respect ' for -trial under service conditions.

ALCOHOL FOR USE IN ARTS I , I OoTarnment Iituea Herniations for Kakinc tha Danatured I roduct EXPECTED TO BE ut IMMENSE VALUE Commissioner Irrkra Spenks nf Objects of Congress Legislation Along Same Lines In Prac tically All t onntrles. WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. Mr. t Yerkes, commissioner of Internal revnue, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, today issued tfie departmental regulations controlling the making of denatured alco hol, the handling of the same, and its uses. These regulations follow and render effec tive a law enacted by congress ss Its last session, snd which provides for the with drawal from bond, tax free, of domestic alcohol when the same is rendered unfit for beverage or liquid medicinal uses by the admixture of suitable denaturing ma terials, and for the us" of the denatured article In the arts, and Industries and for fuel, light and power. This legislation Is In harmony with slml. lar enactments adopted by nearly nil foreign countries. Great Britain In legislated on this subject along the same lines of our own law. and France, Germany. Austria and virtually all the continental powers now furnish their subjects alcohol free of tax for the usese above mentioned. In discussing the nw regulations today, Mr. Yerkes said: ' "The prime object to be attained by this ' type of leginlatlon Is to furnish, for purely domestlp uses, and also for what might be called Industrial domestic purposes, heat, light and power, cheap alcohol with the hope thereby that there will be a reduction Mtf expenses In these departments. "This denatured alcohol will be a com petitor with IllumlnatinsXoll, gasollno and coal. Objects of the Law. "It will slso furnish to manufacturers who use alcohol In the products of the factories, alcohol free from the heavy in ternal revenue tsx now levied on the same. This tax amounts to about per wine gallon on alcohol, at 10 degrees proof. It Is believed great benefit will be derived by the people by this legislation, and this certainly was In the mind of congress, for few public measures received such hearty and unanimous support as did this. "In preparing the regulation It was ts sentlal to adopt rules that would prohibit as far as possible- perpetration of any and all frauds against the revenue of the government by the reclamation and re publication of denatured alcohol through redistillation or other processes through tlte removal of the denatured Ingredients added and the restoration of the alcohol to Its original condition for beverage and potable purposes. To- secure these ends It will be neces sary to use articles for denaturing pur poses and also use such Ingredients as are the most difficult to separate from pure alcohol by' chemical or other pro- "In determining on the denaturing agenU to be used, the cost of the same is of great moment, for to render this new legislation of practical us ;and benefit ICia naeeasary for the denatured product to pass Into the hands of tha consumer at aa low a price as can Ae secured. Two Classea of Prod act. "Uhder the regulations now issued, alco hol of 180 degrees proof Is freed from the tax of SUM per wine gallon after being denatured by the use of either some gen eral denaturing material or some specific material adapted especially to the uses of certain manufacturing Interests. There will, therefore, be two classes of denatured alcohol; first, that styled 'completely de natured.' which will pass Into general use for general consumption, can be purchased at stores without limiting regulations as against the private consumer; and, sec ond, specially denatured,' in which the matetial demanded by the needs of manu facturing Interests will be regarded, and with limitations as to the use of this class, confining It to the special manufacturing industry for which it is prepared. "This specially denatured alcohol will be kept under strict surveillance and gov ernmental supervision. "For the completely denatured article, ten parts of wood or methyl alcohol and one-half part of benslne will be added to 100th part of ethyl alcohol; in other words to every 100th gallon of ethyl alcohol will be added ten gnllono of wood alcohol and one-half gallon ft benslne. "The denaturing process will be accomp lished on the distillery premises where tho alcohol Is produced, in special bonded ware houses designated and used alone for de naturing purposes and for the storage' of denaturing material These buildings and the operation Itself will be under closest governmental inspection and control. "After the alcohol has been denatured It is removed from the distillery premises and J then becomes a subject either of general . distribution. If completely denatured, or for 'rgely the consumption of wood alcohol for both domestic and manufacturing pur poses, as It will be cheaper. Price of Prod net. "While the price of the completely de natured product cannot now be definitely stated. It la believed it will not be more than SB cents a gallon. "With regard to-the specially denatured alcohol, the price of that will naturallv j vary according to the cost of the denatur ing Ingredients selected to meet the neces sities of the manufacturing industries. "These special agents will only be used where It ia made perfectly apparent lo the department that the Industrial Interests In volved cannot use completely denatured al cohol by reason of the presence of wood alcohol or benslne. In that case some other denaturing agent or agents, which will se compllsh the purposes of destroying, as far I as poslble, the potable or beverage quail- ties of the alcohol and at the same time adapf the denatured articles to the special ends desired, will be determined upon. . "The manufacturers will he requested to furnish desired formulae, together with a mplo of the denaturing agent produced "co,a1"" to ,h formulae and a mmple of 'the pure alcohol denatured with this i-pe. i tlail agent.

General Duvls recommends that where soldiers are convicted of selling clothing Issued to them by the government they be dealt with as severely as are those who are convicted of buying It.
