Arthur Mc Arthur Stricken While Address ing Comrades VETERAN SUFFERED STROKE Soldiers of the 24th Wisconsin Volun teers Were Attending Reunion " at Milwaukee Many Tear Dimmed Eyes Seen. Milwaukee. Wis., Sept. 5. While re calling the deeds of the Twenty-Fourth Wisconsin Volunteers in the Atlanta campaign. Lieut.-Gen. Arthur MacAr thur. U. A., retired, dropped dead, following an apoplectic stroke at the last reunion of the regiment, known as the "Chamber of Commerce" regi ment, in the University Building to night.

Parsons, a captain, and member of the regiment, suffered a paralytic stroke on tb?3 right side, from the shock of seeing .his companion-comrade fall, and had to be car ried from the hall. The old soldiers attending the re union, about 100, failed to grasp the situation for some moments, flid when they rushed to the side of their fallen commander and tried to arouse him they found him dead. The old soldiers turned away with tear-dimmed eyes, then one by one they knelt by the side of their strick en comniandei Our Father, which art in Heaven," began one of the veterans, and the others joined him in repeating the Lord's Prayer " At the conclusion of the prayer, as th soldiers arose, one of them took from the wall an American flag and spread it over the dead general. Then silently the old soldiers left the hall. ENGLAND'S CLAIMS Too Heavily Burdened With -Canal Maintenance Charges Washington, Sept. 5. The letter of Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, to the Gateshead Chamber of Commerce yesterday regarding the British government's attitude towards the Panama Canal act, is regarded here as an indication that the negotia tions hot ween the two countries are to have a financial basis, the foreign secretary's argument being that Brit ish shipping is to be burdened with an undue proportion of the charges tor thf maintenance of the canal, thrnu-h the complete exemption from tolls of American coastwise shipping. In vk w of this, importance attaches to an inquiry which now is being con ducted on the isthmus, by Professor Emory R. Johnson, special commis sioner on Panama traffic and tolls. He is engaged in a study of the financial asfiect of the enterprise, so that the tolLi may be adjusted to the needs of the canal on a strictly scientific ba sis and he is expected in- Washington soon with this data. A vast amount of data already pre paid by prof. Johnson shows that 10 ;fr cr-nt of the traffic, through the canal will be American coastwise ship I'in.;. This would indicate that for tisn vf-ssels would have to pay 10 f!f r ct-nt more tolls than they were if Anifri an shipping would not be ex empted. But it is pointed out that a jroponionate share of this burden, if it exists, would have to be borne by Anir-rifan ships in the foreign trade li!pli would consequently be on a Precis,., c niality with British ships.

St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 5. Minnestoa heard first hand from Col. Roosevelt today his reason for asking support for the "new Progressive party. The Colonel spent the day in St. Paul and Minneapolis and made three speeches. Tonight he resumed his journey westward with Grand Forks, N. D., as his next stop. He made a speech before the State Fair tonight, in which he declared he nomination of Wilson at Baltimore was arranged by the "Democratic .bosses." He ex pounded the Progressive views on the tariff, Canadian reciprocity, the courts, co-operation of the government and the farmers, to improve the yield of farms and measures o better the con dition of wage workers. Then He went to Minneapolis, and after a luncheon given by the Minnesota Progressive League, he delivered what he-callgd a "lay sermon" in which he gave his views upon the significance of the Progressive movement from the standpoint of the moralist, rather than the politician. Tcnight he made a brief address at the Fair grounds only, where he attended a "farm din ner." ' v . Col. Roosevelt reached St. Paul early this morning. Col. Roosevelt, saying that Gov. Wil son had said that the Democratic plat form, was not a programme, asked : "Then wat is it? The minute that any men announcethat their platform does not tell the truth they condemn themselves for putting it forth and' they condemn the man who is unfortunately-compelled to stand upon it. During the day he spent an hour with State Progressive leaders who were anxious for his advic& as to whether a Progressive State ticket should be named. He expressed the opinion tha.t the Progressives should name their own ticket, "straight down the line," although if the Progressive Republicans should win at the Re publican primaries this month, he thought such a step might not be ne cessary. He is willing to abandon the Progressive State ticket, he told the Minnesota leaders, only if it Is pos sible to take over the Republican or ganization bcdily. It is understood that decision will be postponed until after the primaries. GOV. MANN SPEAKS, Virginia Governor Defends Federal Appropriations for Waterways. " New London, Conn., Sept. 5. Gov. W. H.

Governor Woodrow Wilson received two dele gations of Italians today, one from Jersey City, and the other x from Brooklyn. He talked about immigra tion to them. g "There is no sort of visit more wel come to me now," he said, "because I fear that things that I have written have been most grossly misinterpret ed. I have had frequent occasion's re cently to meet delegations similar to this and it has been a great gratifica tion to me that they all speak in gen erous language of appreciation to wards myself, but also with an ex tremely broad-minded apprehension of what ipy real position is and of what my real feelings are. "The fact of the matter is that America has been enriched by hav ing the aspirations of some of the finest races in the world brought to her shores. I don't know whether we ought to rejoice that other coun tries are in the same degree impov erished, but for myself, as an Ameri can along with yourselves, I rejoice most heartily in the circumstances that men of every European blood have brought to this country their highest aspirations, because they can't bring these aspirations without adding to the aspirations of the coun try and making the country greater and freer than it would be without them. For myself, I have never felt the slightest jealousy of the right kind of immigration, and by the right kind of immigration I mean the voluntary iMnd.. ' When' wen of their own initia tive come with a preliminary love for or desire for America, to establish homes for themselves here and to in dentify themselves with the country, the result cannot be anything but good for the country itself." The Governor devoted himself for the most part to his correspondence today. His next speai)ing engagement is Monday at the New York Press Club, when he will analyze the three prin cipal parties, their platforms and aims. Governor Wilson said tonight he would attend the Democratic State Convention at Trenton on October 1st. N. Y.
