Mr. Rog ers was on his way home from the city and the way being clear in North Main street, had coasted down the grade he low Woodfin street. The wheel was going at a rapid, rate wnen Merrimon avenue was reached, and Mr. Rogers etvidenitly misjudged its speed before reaching the turn, being carried be yond thepoinit where he might safely have rounded the curve. He perceived his mistake too late, and as he swun around into the avenue he missed bv but a few feet the last of the iron posts of Foster's sitore, and while endeavor ing to catch the pedals of his wheel to check his speed crashed Into the tel egraph pole just beyond. Mr. Rogers was thrown nearly 20 feet, striking on the- head and upper part of his body on the brick pave ment.

Z i British Naval Com mander Embroiled in a Dispute. With French Commodore Off the New Foundland Coast, Over Restrictions Placed on American Fishing Schooners. Whole Treaty Coast Areused War ships Sent to Reinforce the En glish Cruiser Alert. St. Johns, N. B., June 23. Commo dore Gifford, commanding the British naval squadron proltecting New Found land fisheries, is embroiled in a dispute with the French commodore. The lat ter recently ordered the commander of warships under his command not to permit American fishing vessels to pur chase bait in any part of the French treaty shore. The captain of the American fishing schooner Parthian, of Gloucester, Cap tain Moore, sought to obtain bait at Bay St. George and was informed by the French he could not have it. He appealed to Captain Savile, of the Brit ish' cruiser Alert, who told him to go ahead and take the bait, and that if he complied with the local regulations and paid the price prescribed he would see him through. This information was communicated to the French commodore; who, while he attempted no interference, sent a message to Gifford denouncing the ac tion as subordination. This he followed up by a series 6f vexatious incidents, hampering the Americans. At night men from the French warships re moved the nets of the coast fishermen, thereby preventing them from catching herring to sell as bait to the Ameri cans. The result is the whole treaty coast is aroused and settlers are w're ing to the colonial government for pro tection, while the Yankee skippers ar riving at the coast are sending protests to their government. The Canadian) colonial government has ordered an investgation, and two ' waships have been dispatched to re inforce the Alert. The Washington au thorities also demand acessation of French interference, and serious "fric tion is expected if the French persist. It is reported that Sampson, who visits here shortly with the American squad ron, will confer with the British repre sentatives on the matter. BRYAN AND CHICAGO PLATFORM. Fresno, Cal., June" 2.
