QUEBEC, July 2S.-The arrival of the prlnre of Wale wa the signal for the of ficial opening today of the celebration commemorating the 800th anniversary of the founding of Quebec by Champlain. The prince presided In person over the opening exercises, receiving the foreign representa tives at the foot of the Champlain monu ment and reviewing the historical pageant reproducing Quebec's history. A fap simile of Champlaln'a ship In which he crossed the Atlantic, the Don De Dleu, has been con structed, and on this the representative of Champlain ' and his crew, dressed In the costumes of the period, sailed up to the city at the point where Champlain landed and entered the structure reproducing the rough palisade fortress which the naviga tor first occupied. Champlain and the other historical personages then filed before the prince of Wales. The historical groups take In the romantic period of the French occupation of Canada, beginning with Jacques Cartler and his early adventur ers down to the battle between the armies of Monttalm and Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham. The groups are presentd on a scale of lavish magnificence, with 6,000 per sons costumed as historical figures. Champlain arrived at 3 o'clock on the Don de Dleu and the review by the prince of Wales took place later. His highness spent the morning returning naval visile and the calls of the foreign represen tatives. He Is atUndod by a field mar shal's escort in his drives about the city, and Is received with clamorous demonstra tions by the crowds wherever he appears. Vice President Fairbanks In his address at the opening exercises said: Your Royal Highness: I acknowledge with grateful appreciation the welcome which you so generously extnd. The sen timents which you are pleased to express with regard to my country 1 receive with profound sensibility. They ire renewed evidence of that respect and cordUl good will which has so long existed between the United Stites and Great Britain and will tend to strengthen and preserve their amicable relations. Permit me to extend to Quebec my hearty congratulations upon the distinction which it -enjoys.. In the presence of your royal highness . and upon the enthusiasm with which she has welcomed you within Its gates. It Is, Indeed, a signal honor which you have done It. It la a happy circum stance which brings you across the sea. The event Is one which will be long treas ured among the annuls of Quebec. The eyes of the western world are upon this historic city. The celebration of the tercentenary of Champlaln'a founding of Quebec Is altogether admirable both in the comprehensiveness of lis cenceptlon and In the excellence of Its execution and la an event which awakens Interest not, only In the Dominion of Canada, but In the United States also. From this point as a bas.j Intrepid explorers biased the pathway of civilization through trackless forests and explored lukes and rivers In territory which Is now within the Jurisdiction of the United States. Names associated with the early history of Quebec are landmarks in our geography und are Indelibly Impressed upon our civilization. Reviews History of City. Three hundred years is but a brief period In the history of England or France, but it Is all the hlHtory of Quebec and all of Anglo-Uaxon America. Here has be-n written an Interesting story. Here have been witnessed the victories and defeats of war and the blessed triumphs of pi-ace. The battleships of three great nations rest yonder upon the bosom of the St. Law renee. The representatives of those powers assembled here are recalling past differ ences, but only to emphasize the present prevalence of a spirit of genuine friend ship between them. It Is with unususl pleasure I bring you greetings from the president and the peolj of the United States, who rejoice with you In the progress you have made In the manifold ways which make fur the strength and honor of a great people. We are- not Indifferent to yuur welfare, nor ura you Indifferent to ours. The blood of a com mon ancestry Is In our veins. We hHVe much In common. We glory In many of the same traditions and we have the same Jur isprudence. Our standings of civilization are alike. Here, side by side, owing al legiance to different sovereignties, we are In God a providence, to work out our des tiny. We wish you that contentment which comes from the cultivation of Um arts of peaceful Industry under those political In stitutions which are the guaranty, of Jus tice and liberty among men. The United States and Canada have but fairly entered upon their career. Each has vast areas either scarcely settled or un occupied, where many will make their homes In the future. Many millions will be added to our population and to yours. We have each made much advance in the scale of civilisation and are gratified with the progress we have niaite. Back of us lies a brief but honorable history and be for us stretch illimitable opportunities. We confidently believe that we are each ilevtlned to play a large and worthy part In the progress of the human race upon the western continent. We have no rivalries except In the ways o peace. -We neither covet the other's territory. We covet only each other's neighborly esteem. We rest upon a common frontier more than 5.UO miles In length. It is crossed and recrossed hy Instrumentalities of commerce, which tend to strengthen our neighborly ties There are no fortifications upon our frontier and no battleships upon the waters, which divide us and we believe and fervently hope that there will never be need of any defensive preparation be tween us. As we behold this majestic celebration . In which the representatives of different nations participate and witness the man. testations of a genuine fraternal spirit among them, we are Impressed with the thought that there Is no rational rensnn why nations should resort to wsr. May w not, on this theater of past conflicts, surrounded now by the Impressive monu ments of peace, venture to hope that the widespread movement, which seeks to In sure the maintenance of peac among the nations of the world without Invoking the swerd, may grow in strength and at no distant day beoon-i Incorporated us a part of the fixed policy of nations. To advocate measures to the maintenance of Interna tional tranquility, to endeavor to substitute reason for force. Is not evidence of any de ray In the courage or manhood of nations, but It Is the proclamation of the great truth that modern civilisation la not a failure. It Is a failure If It does not substi tute for force the serene and all powerful chamler of reason and deliberation. There Is such a thing as righteousness among nations. Let them tske their differences Into International courts of Justice and there let mason and righteousness prevail. I-et nations by every honorable means which enlightened statesmanship may sug gest avoid an appeal to that court where Inlgl.l alone turns the balance. We have no need to f.ar that the reU tlons between the United States and Orcat (CoeUousd front First Fags.) t SUMMARY OF TUE DEE Friday, July 24, inOB. 1908 JuLy wife 7M fft.

The desperadoes' career of terror started on Tuesday night by the "shooting up" of the saloon of Wlnterston & McManus on Washington street.

Offi cer Ingllss then received a bullet In the leg. The men passed through Cunningham Field, Lee street and Into New Keyes street, down which they ran directly Into Washington street. On Washington street, where elec tric cars are passing almost Incessantly and hundreds of people were walking, the two men fired shot after shot. They -com. manded everybody to hold up their hands and even ordered the motorman of an ap proaching car to stop. The motorman dropped behind the dashboard and the con ductor, Thomas Moore, who stepped off the car to see what was the trouble, received a bullet In the leg. Michael Flynn picked up a stone to hurl at the bandlta and re ceived one bullet In the head over the right ear and another passed over the left ear, knocking off his hat.

The man was bai footed, a (broken derby covered his head, a torn and ragged coat was on his back and In one hand he carried a heavy re volver, while from the otbir dangled a reel of cartridges. For more than a mile across the cemetery the man raced madly over graves, around shrubbery, through gullies and ovjr mounds, an ever-Increasing mob of police men fallowing la his wake. All at ones he disappeared In a ravine not 300 yards from the main Morton street entrance to the cemetery grounds. But one bit of shrubbery marked the lower level of th.i ruvlno and Into this the man sprung to make his final stand.

THOMPSON BETS ON BRYAN Little Giant Bay Automobile to Fnt I'p on Democratic Can didate. W. 11. Thompson, the "Little Glsnt" of Grand Island, came to Omaha Thursday to buy an automobile to put up as a wager that Bryan will not only carry Nebraska but that he will be elected. "You reporters ask very foolish questions when you ask about the political situation," said Mr. Thompson. "There Is nothing new In the political situation, for It Is an old story that Bryan will carry the state and the nation. I don't know anything about the temperance proposition or Hearst's Independence league, but Bryan will get some temperance votes and I would not be surprised In the least If Hearst's party endorses tho Nebraskan for president. Bryan has some strong friends In the league- and I look for it to go to him. I will wager' anything that Bryan will be elected." Continuing, Mr. Thompson said he has taken no sides In the gubernatorial cam paign and that he is following Bryan's professed example -of keeping his hands off. He says he is for Dahlman, Shallen berger and Berge and when the nomina tions are made will 'et out and stump the Btate for the nominee. " "I doubt If Mr. Bryan can be Induced to have anything to do with state politics and he will never ask Mr. Dahlman or any other aspirant to pull out of the cam paign. The people will decide who they want, to run for governor, and the man who runs for governor on the democratic ticket will be elected."

CHEYENNE BEATS CORPORATION Wins In Flaht for Cheaper Light That Continued for Eight Months. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 23-tSpeclal.)-After a fight of more than eight months, the Cheyenne council and Mayor P. S. Cook have forced the Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power company to accept a modified franchise and to make a large reduction In the rules charged for electricity for light ing and for power purposes. At a meeting of the council last night, President W. J. Barker of the fJorthern Colorado Power company, the holding concern of the Chey enne Light, Fuel and Power company, agreed to accept the new franchise, which among other Important things reduces the rate chargeable for electricity for Incan descent lighting from 20 cents per 1,000 watt hours to 12 cents, the rate for electricity for power purposes from 20 cents per l.OOU watt hours to 6 cents, the rate for street arc lights from $125 per annum to $5 per annum for a period of five years and 190 for the five years thereafter ensuing.
