French Fete Day.
Paris, July 14.—Today, the one
hundred and thirteenth anniver-
sary of the fall of the Lsstile was
celebrated as usual as a national
holiday. There were numerous
public entertainments andin many
instances the proceeds will be
donated to the Martinique relief
fund. There was a military re-
view at Longcliamps, which was
witnessed by a large number of
people. There were also reviews
at all military and naval stations,
fallowed by illuminations, fire-
works and balls in the evening.
The Parisians participated with
their customary zest. Wreaths
were placed on the Strasburg
monument in the Place de la Con-
corde President Loubet, while
driving to the Longchamps race
course to witness the grand an-
nual review, was cheered all along
the route. In the presidential
tribune with him were the mem-
bers of the cabinet and the am-
bassadors.

Trial of New Monitor
Washington, D. C., July 14—In
naval circles considerable interest
is manifested in the trial of the
new monitor Arkansas, which is
scheduled to begin today over the
official course off the Delaware
Capes. The Arkansas was re-
cently completed at Newport
News, and among the naval ex-
perts who have seen her the
opinion is unanimous that she will
more than fill the requirements
of the contract. The Arkansas
is of the same type and general di-
mensionsasthe Nevada, Floridaand
Wyoming, all of which arc build-
ing, and each ol which is of near-
ly twice the size and displacement
of the single-turret monitors al
ready in commission. Their cost
amounts to nearly a million dollars
each and they are designed to have
a speed of 111 knots. Though in-
ferior in size and armament to the
battleships and first-class cruisers
the monitors are nevertheless con-
•if'e el among the most formid-
able fighting machines afloat.
