Honduras Said to be Facing a
Dangerous Crisis.
Rebels Anxious For the Return of
General Bonilla.
New Orleans, La., June 21. — The
times-Demoerat to -day says o Events are
nuseching on toward revolution in Hon-
duras, according to despatches received
yesterday by the local business houses
engaged in Centrad Americaat trade. The
eonnts•y faces a most dangerous crisis,
probably the most serious since the fall
.of General Manuel Bonilla in 1906. The
despatches say that Laceiba and the
northern coast Provinces of the unset-
tled country are in erten revolt and have
seats emissaries tet New Orleans to per-
suade
ersuade Bonilla to return and take pos-
ee'sirion of the Government. Davila baa
appeeled to the State Department of
the United States, and the thiiimd
States gunboat Pain sail is patrolling
Ceiba harbor to prevent sanguinary out-
breaks. General Bonilla is in New Or-
leans, and it was stated yesterday that
he had secured his passage to Belizas,
Honduras, for next Thursday on the
stearnehip H. T. Inge, as had elect Dr.
Jiausto Davila,. a stepbrother of Presi-
dent Davila. They stoutly deny, how-
ever, that there is anything significant
in their departure.

Trampled to Death by Horses
Frightened at Whistle.
Windsor, Ont.. despatch: John E.
Pickering, a teamster, employed by
Lorne & Son, contractors, met a hor-
rible death at seven o'clock this
morning at the Kerr Engine works,
Walkerville, being trampled to
death by his team, which took fright
at the blowing of the factory whistle.
.Pickering left the team standing to
see about his load, and when the
whistle blew, ran back to the 'torsos,
which had become frightened. He
grabbed one of the horses at the

DENOUNCED , CZAR.
LARGER MILK
YIELDS ARE POSSIBLE
Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture Dairy Division Cow
Testing Associations.
Why should cow testing be carried
on? Mainly because individual cows in
the same herd are likely to vary in pro-
duction about as much as, sometimes
much more than, individual cows in dif-
ferent breeds. Then too must be• consid-
ered the strange variations in milk and
fat from •day to day, even with a cow
handled as carefully as possible. Such
variations are very apt to be overiouked
unless the record is carefully kept. An-
other point: Two cows side by side, one
gives 20 lbs. milk a day,• or 10 -Ib. at
a, milking, the other gives 9 lbs. The
difference in weight, or the difference
in bulk in the pail, especially if there
is a lot of froth on top, is not easily
gauged by the ordinary milker. Reit
multiply that by the 300 days of a milk -
lug period, and it is seen that one cow
gives 600 lbs. more milk than the other.
-yet the ordinary milker would have
said, these two tows give 'just about"
the same. But is not the extra 600 lbs.
worth having: Many members of the
cow testing associations say that the hir-
ed man milks better, with more endea-
vor to milk •clean, if the record hangs
before hire constantly, and an extra
500 lb. per cow has often been obtained
since the introduction of the pencil and
ruled sheet. Try it, not simply for the
extra milk or fat. but for the immense
personal t:atisfaction in knowing that
each cow is being made to do better, to
do her best.
• Socialist Thorne Caused Excitement
in British Commons. •
London, June 21.— William Janes
Thorne, Socialist member for West tram,
got up quite an excitement in the House
of Commons this afternoon by a denun-
eiation of the Emperor of Rus.ia in
connection with that Sovereign's propos-
ed visit to King Edward during the
Cowes regatta. Mr. Thorne, in the guise
of a question to Foreign Secretary (;rey,
declared that there was intense feeling
in this country against the visit. The
Speaker called kir. Thorne to order, but
the member would not be quieted, and
. shputed out: "It will be a good job if
• the Ressian Emperor gets his desserts
when he does eosin.; he is an inhuman
• brute."
The Speaker's efforts to stem this
abuse mere quite ineffectual until an
uproar -of protests from the other Mem-
bers drowned Mr: Thorne's invective.

Toronto, June 21.—"Are- we going to
have the children of the city of Toronto
bitten by dogs every day?" Mayor Oli-
ver asked at the meeting of the Board
of (.Control yesterday. "Is this thing to
continue?" he asked further, "or shall
we pass a by-law to prohibit dogs on the
streets unless muzzled? Four children
have been bitten in the past day or so

North Sydnel, N. S., June 21.—The
trouble which rias been brewing be-
tween French strain trawlers operating
on the Quero batiks and American,
French and Newfoundlasul hand line
fishermen Inas at last broken out, and
is clash has taken place on the Quero
bank, in wliieh revolvers and guns
have been treed. '4'essels which ar-
rived here to -day from Quero tell of a
sensational encounter between the
crews of the American fishing schooner
Senator Gardiner, Captain Vincent
Nelson, and one of the Freneh steam
trawlers. The vessel had been wateh-
ing for two days for a chance to set
her lines, and a Blear space was at
length found where none of the
trawlers appeared to be in sight. No
sooner were her dories out than a
lserge French trawler was seen to bear
down towards them and approached
so near that it carried away part of
the Gardiner's fishing gear. All pro-
tests failed to induce them to move
off, and Captain Nelson, becoming exas-
perated at the Ioss of his gear and time,
quickly loaded a rifle, using leaden slugs
made out of mackerel jigs cut in pieces.
As the Frenchmen were in the act
of pursuing their trawlers, • Captain
Nelson fired point blank at the steamer.
Tito result was almost disastrous
to Captain Nelson, in a way whirl, he
never s.expected, for as the shot was
fired one of .his dories, which was
overhauling the lines between the
Gardiner end the 1'rencln trawling
steamer, sinewy by Captain Nelson at
the time, rose up from the trough of
the sea, and a bullet from the gun
whizzed within a fevv inches ofthe
tread of one of the. ossuponts in,
the•
dory. a young mart, Pabien Lawrence,
of L'Ardoise, Richmond county. An-
ether shot struck the rail of the
French trawler, but with the exception
of a few splinters no other damage was
done, and they hurriedlymoved away.
The same day a French fishing
schooner lost nearly, all of her tarwls
and lines. by another steam trawler,
and no less than ten trawlers. appeared
in the immediate vicinity of where
these vessels were fishing. This
schooner's Captain boarded the trawler
which had done the damage to his fish-
ing gear, and, brandishing a revolver,
demanded that damages be paid for the
loss sustained, but ee heed was paid,
and he was forcibly ejected from the
steamer's deck.
On the following day a Wevefoundlasnd
schooner had all of her fishing gear car-
ried away', and had to leave the Bunks
and lose several days in ordar to obtain
a new outfit.

Antarctic Explorer Banqueted in
London by the Royal Society.
London, June 2L—A dinner was ten-
dered to -day at the Royal Society's Club.
to Lieut. E. IT. Shackleton. In replying
to the toast the explorer said: "I notice
that the toast is Lieut. Ernest Shackle-
ton. This includes. of course. his sons
rades," Lieut. Shackleton took the
opportunity to say that the expedition.
would not have leen a success without
their loyal support and self-denial. Ile
and his comrades, he declared, aseribeti
their safety to the 'fact that there was
at power higher than theirs guarding
them throughout the voyage. When.
they did not know whether the morrow
would bring fortis a day of activity or
death, tiney believed in that power, and.
placed sole reliance in it.
There was a fascination about the
Antarctic which Balled therm back, said'
'Lieut. Shackleton, and all the luxuries
of life emit(' not stay them. Some of
his mere had already tired of the fine
times in London, and were ready to go.
back.
"If it is my fortune before long to.
go south again." continued Lieut. Shnaik-
letoin, "I shall have men willinig to..
serve under tune. it is yet early to talk
about that, but 1 hope that whatever
expedition goes, it wilt be British."
The explorer said that Capt. Scott had
been the pioneer over the southern;.
ice barrier, anti it was due to the knowl-
edge and experience whiris he gainers.
that Shackleton attributed his snneceaz."
He added: "That enabled nate to poet' the
British flag a bit farther south."
Lieut. Shackleton was the guest of
honor at a dinner at the Savoy Hotel
to -night. There was a brilliant literary
gathering. invited by William. Heinne-
nrann, the publisher. T,ieut. Shackleton.

cidents of his trip. The ehief feature
was the display of a wonderful series
