WOUND UP ITS BUSINESS
PARLIAMENT PROROGUED YES
TERDAY AFTERXOOX.
Finance the Only Bis Tlilnj? Dealt
With During: the Session Other
PoreJsrn News.
LONDON, Aug. 17. Parliament -wound
up Its business today and was prorogued.
The Black Sod (General Sir Michael Bld
dulph) summoned the Commons about 4
o'clock to the House of Lords to hear
the King's speech. The Royal Commis
sioners on this occasion were the Lord
Chancellor, Earl Halsbury, the Duke of
Marlborough, Lord Ashbourne, the Earl
of KIntore and Earl Waldegrave. They
were all attired In their peers' robes. On
the arrival of the Commons the speech
was read, beginning as follows:
-'My Lords and Gentlemen: It Is satis
factory to he able to close the first Parlia
ment of my reign -with the assurance that
the cordiality of the relations of Great
Britain -with the other powers remains
nndlmlnlshed.
A reference to China is merely con
gratulatory, on the, attainment of an
agreement In regard to the Indemnity, .se
curity for its payment, and the punish
ment of the most guilty offenders.
In regard to South Africa, the speech
says:
-'The progress of my forces in the con
quest of the two republics by which my
South African colonies have been Invaded
'has been steady and continuous. But owing
to the difficulty and extent of the coun
try to he traversed, the length of the
military operations has been protracted."
The speech refers to the signal success
of the Duke of Cornwall and York's
visit to the colonies, as "additional proof
,of the patriotism, loyalty and devotion of
the people of my dominions over the
eeas."
The rest of the speech merely records
the King's satisfaction with the liberal
provisions made for -the naval and mili
tary services, the arrangements made for
the honor and dignity of the crown, "es
pecially those -which affect the state and
comfort of my royal consort," and the
authorization to change the royal title.
It concludes:
"I earnestly commend you to the merci
ful protection and guidance of Almighty
God."
Returning to the House of Commons,
the members filed past the speaker, shak
ing hands with him, and the first Parlia
ment of Idngr Edward "VTI twis ended.
The proroguing of Parliament Is the
occasion of much doleful comment. Fi
nance -was the only big thing dealt with
during the session. Even the Times and
the Standard point out the decline of the
authority of the Ministers In the House
of Commons. The closure has been used
more frequently than ever before.
The Statist says that the Government
has bungled in -war and In .finance. It
defines Sir Michael Hides-Beach, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, as a '"politician
absolutely Ignorant of finance, and who
knows as little about the money market
as any orber country gentleman."
The paper contrasts the effects of the
enormous sums borrowed In the United
States by Prance in-1870, with the fall in
consols resulting from the methods of Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, and attributes it to
the Government's financiering. Iti savs
there is a mistaken belief abroad that the
resources of the country have been im
mensely exaggerated and that Great
Britain is not so rich as imputed and
claims that the belief in the almost in
exhaustible resources of Great Britain has
been heretofore one of the great guaran
tees of iwace.
KING EDWARD AT HOMBURG.

LONDON, Aug. 17. King Edward's de

man uniforms In London, as the Emperor
Is a great stickler on this point of eti
quette. King Edward Is now at Hom
burg. His habits are as unconventional
as when he "was Prince of "Wales. He
walks to the Elizabeth springs and drinks
a measure of water. At Homburg last
year, says T. P. O'Connor's M. A. P.
(Mainly About People), the Prince of
Wales frequently accompanied an Amer
ican mining man on his auto-car. The
host asked the Prince to accept a similar
car, which he did. The King was con
sulted a fe,w weeks ago as to where the
splendid car. just completed, should be
sent. The reply was that his accession
had entirely altered matters. As King
lie could not receive such a gift. The
mining magnate reminded him that he
had accepted the morto as Prince of
Wales. "There are verious versions,"
Mr. O'Connor adds, "in regard to the se
nuel of the American's persistence."
As usual, hundreds of Americans must
stay in England for six or eight weeks
longer than they intended, because they
cannot get berths on homoward-bound
steamers. So many Americans visit and
reside in London that an American direc
tory is being prepared, -which will Include
upward of 10,000 names.

FAMINE IX RUSSIA.
Starvation Ib In Prospect In Nearly
a Third of the Provinces.
LONDON, Aug. 17. Advices from Mos
cow say Russia" is on the eve of another
famine. Nearly a third of the provinces of
European Russia are officially declared to
Iiave produced "insufficient" and some
others still "under the average" crops of
cereals. Only two provinces out of 70 have
really good harvests. The official word
-"insufficient" means utter starvation. The
famine-stricken area exceeds 500,000 square
miles and about the same area as that of
the great famine of 1S9L The population
numbers 48,000,000. The hopes founded on
the reports of two months ago have van
ished. The havoc has been wrought by the
intense heat and the entire absence of
rain when needed. Afterward there were
torrential downpours and hail storms. The
appearance of innumerable pests is com
pleting the destruction. As the harvest is
now in progress, these are final reports.

ROBBED BY ITS TREASURER
Svrlft & Co.'s New Yorlc'Ofllee looses
From $ 10,000 to $50,000.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. It became known
tonight that the New York office of Swift
& Co., the Chicago .packers, had been
robbed of a considerable sum of money
by Its secretary and treasurer. The local
office Is incorporated as a New York cor
poration with a capital of $100,000. Its sec
retary and treasurer was John T. Hay
den, 33 years old. Following his usual
custom, John Chaplin, an auditor in the
Chicago offices of the company, came to
this city last Monday to make an inspec
tion of the accounts. Hayden met Mr.
Chaplin and turned over the books to him.
Tuesday, Hayden was at the office for a
short time, but the next day could not
be found. Mr. Chaplin continued In his
work and at present the loss Is variously
estimated from 510,000 to 550,000. W. H.
Noyes, vice-president of the company,
when seen at hia residence here tonight,
admitted that Hayden was a defaulter.
He said Hayden had been with the com
pany five years, the last two years in his
late position. He was a trusted employe
and highly thought of. The -robbery has
been reported to two private detective
agencies.
SWINDLING OX LARGE SCALE.
By Means of Fraudulent. Corpora
tions and Fictitious Notes.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 17. The details of
an alleged attempt to swindle banks on
a large scale by means of fraudulent
corporations and fictitious notes is told
in a petition filed today in the Baltimore
County Circuit Court at Towson for a
receiver for the Manor Lunreer Company;
of that town. The amount involved, ac
cording to the petition, is over $1,000,000,
and it Is asserted that the scheme has
been at least partially successful. It is
alleged that the Manor Company was not
incorporated for the purpose of doing a
legitimate business, but was formed by
Charles E. Corkoran as a part of a
scheme for alleged swindling. Mr. Cor
koran, being already interested in some
legitimate companies, -wished, it is
alleged, to increase the credit of these
companies with the banks- of the coun
try for the purpose of "kiting" negotiable
paper through them. He organized from
18 to 21 smaller companies, it Is alleged,
ostensibly engaged in the lumber busi
ness, "from which he would o ndemand re
ceive Srom 51000 to ?5O0O in negotiable
paper, payable to the order of any of the
parent companies needing it. This paper
was discounted in enormous quantities,
the bill alleges, at various banks in the
country, they being led to believe that
each note rapreseiWed a bona fide sale ofv
lumber.
SENT AX IXFERXAL MACHINE.
Attempt to Kill en Illinois Sheriff
Prevented.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17. An attempt to kill
Sheriff Ackerman by an Infernal machine
w as prevented by the watchfulness of the
Sheriffs wife, says the Carmi, 111., cor
respondent of the Chronicle. A candy
bucket was sent to Sheriff Eugene Akcr
man, prepaid from Evansville, Ind. When
the lid of the bucket was removed another
lid with a handle was found Inside. Mrs.
Ackerman, for some unknown reason to
herself, thought best to remove the screws
from the handle. This act undoubtedly
saved the lives of those In the room.
Besides the Sheriff and his family, sev
eral visitors were in the room. Upon the
removal of the handle to the lid some
small wires were found. Then tho sec
ond lid was cautiously removed, exposing
four sticks of dynamite so arranged with
matches, cartridges and wires as to ex
plode if it had been opened as intended.
The authorities at Evansville were noti
fied and a special meeting of the County
Board of Supervisors has been called to
take action in the matter.
MISSIONARY FUND SHORT,.
Increased Expenditures by the Epis
copal Board.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. Bishop Doane,
of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
Albany, contributes to the current issue
of the Churchman a statement of the
large deficit which is probable in the
treasury of the board of missions for
the year Just ended. This deficit, says
the bishop, .who is vice-president and ac
tive head 01 the board of managers, will
be 1109.000 September 1.
E. Walter Roberts, assistant treasurer
of the board of managers, estimates the
total of appropriations for this year at
5596,000, of which $328,000 was for missions
in the United States, and S2GS.000 for for
eign missions, including those in Africa,
China, Japan, the Philippines, Porto
Rico and Haytl. Last year, Mr. Roberts
said, the deficit was between $50,000 and
500,000. Of this all but about $22,000 was
paid before the books were closed. No
particular gifts, he said, arc in view. The
contributions during the year from
churches and individuals have not been
so large as usual, while those from Sun
day schools and young people were much
larger.
Rev. Dr. Lloyd, general secretary of
the board of managers, says that the
opening of missionary work in new ter
ritory, such as the Philippines, has made
large expenditures necessary. Land has
had to be bought, he said, houses built
and people sent There has been urgent
need also for assistance in Brazil, be
cause of the financial troubles there.
"Two redsons," said Dr. Lloyd, "why
the receipts have been apparently smaller
than usual arc that we have had com
paratively few legacies this year, and
that a large number of gifts which might
have gone through our board have gone,
by decision of the givers, for special pur
poses." Botha May Surrender.
LONDON, Aug. 17. The Sun says to
day that it hears that the concentration
of General Botha's forces at Hondweni
on the borders of Zululand, announced in
a dispatch, does not foreshadow a fight
with Botha, but his surrender, in pursu
ance with an understanding reached be
tween General Botha and Lord Kitch
ener. The Sun adds that the govern
ment is so satisfied that the war is vir
tually over that Lord Milner, now on his
way back to South Africa, has in lite
pocket the draft of a complete constitu
tion and plans for the future government
of the annexed territory.
Xo Lives Lost at Pensacola.

FRIENDLY TO CHINA
(Continued from First Page.)
ern learning and inquiry. That meant
her continued abandontaent of the exam
ple of Chinese' literature and learning
formerly followed, the Marquis admitting
that the process of that abandonment
must continue.
Marquis Ito seems interested In the fu
ture" of America. He expressed the view
thut in ten vears the United States -will
( probably be the formidable power of the
world. He had read the accounts of the
formation of great trusts in America,
but he scarcely thought these were prac
ticable in Japan at the present time.
About the currenjt financial situation
In Japan Marquis Ito said an early im
provement was looked for. The attitude
of Europe towards Japanese securities
was a matter that gave the government
some concern, however, and it would de
mand their attention.
Marquis Ito assented to the view that
Corea was the most natural Outlet for the
surplus population ot Japan. The Climate
and living conditions were similar to those
of Japan and Japanese emigration there
fore must tend in that direction. As time
went on the How of Japanese emigrants
towards Corea would .render the state of
affairs there tantamount to unofficial oc
cupation of the peninsula by Japan. As
to the prospects of an outlet in South
America Marquis Ito thought It might
be a possible field for a few thousand
laborers, but little more. Formosa was
expected to pay its way in course of a
few years. The outlook for the Japanese
administration there was very good. Un
like the Chinese of the mainland the Chi
nese of Formosa were peaceable and con
tent and this spoke well for Japanese
rule.
Another Pelcln Rising: Inevitable.
The Pekin correspondent of the North
China Daily News writing on July 2 gives
the following rather disquieting account
of the state of affairs-as seen from there:
"All the Pekin authorities emphatical
ly deny that "Tung Fu-hsiang Is contem
plating rebellion against the Empress.
They say he is still in high favor with
that lady and has nothing to gain by
rebellion. The general sentiment of the
people is,however, that a future outburst
of anti-foreign feeling is Inevitable. How
long It may be delayed will depend upon
the precautionary efforts of the foreign
powers to prevent it. While they are
vigilant and maintain a considerable
force in the country there is not much
to fear. But as soon as it is at all feasi
ble another uprising will take place. The
Conservative party will only yield their
stupid opposition to progress and reform
with their lives.
"In the meantime the sufferers by the
last act of wanton folly are wondering
how long before they will obtain their
indemnities. The English seem to be pre
paring for prompt payment, as the Lega
tion Is investigating individual claims
and cutting them down as freely as pos
sible after the American precedent. Tt
seems utterly -unfair that "where a man's
family were obliged to return to Eng
land or America while he was besieged
in the legations, he should be obliged
to bear the expenses of the double journey
in order to lighten the burden of his
recent tortures. The attitude of the Le
gations seems to be that if a man is paid
somewhere near the value of his effects,
he should be satisfied, and not expect
either full value, or expenses necessar
ily Incurred by the events over which
he had no control. This is a crying shame.
Everyone besieged in Pekin should be ful
ly indemnified for every item of loss.
The claims should be closely scrutinized,
as there are sure to be cases of attempt
efl imposition practiced, 'but the scrutiny
should be done In a spirit of justice and
not with a desire to cut every claim,
just or unjust, In order to reduce the
amount the governments will have to
pay their suffering subjects or citizens.
"A large hole has been dug in the Hata
men street, now dubbed Ketteler street,
by the Germans, which is Intended to be
flllea by the base of the monument to
be erected to the ill-fated Baron who
was foully assassinated on that spot. It
it only just that a monument should be
erected right there In the middle of the
street compelling all traffic to diverge
to the" right or left as it will, but it will
be an awful blow to Chinese conceit, such
a blow as should have been administered
many times before in divers places we
can all call to mind. The death alone
at last opened the eyes of the foreign
Ministers In Pekin to what awaited ev
ery foreign resident, if they ventured be
yond their legation wall, under a prom
ised Chinese escort to flee to the Coast.
"With the recall of De Glers most of
the Legations will have changed heads
and the residents of China are to be con
gratulated. The few who are left un
changed are harmless, and the new Incum
bents cannot but be improvements on
theii predecessors. The southern section
of the city, governed by the English under
Captain Barrow, has been turned over to
Chinese administration. Captain Barrow
and his capable Interpreter, Mr. J. M.
Allardyce, made many friends among the
Chinese of all classes by their fearless,
Impartial, and merciful administration of
a difficult task."
Suicide of General Gribski.
From an unimpeachable (source, the
Nagasaki Press learns that GeneralGrib
ski, the military Governor of Blagovest
chensk and districts, committed suicide
as he was approaching the above city
on his return from St. Petersburg. Gen
eral Gribski, it will be remembered, was
In charge of Blagovestchensk in August,
1800, when that city was attacked by
Chinese bandits from Aigun, who from
the opposite side of the Amur fired on
the Russian city. The presence in their
midst of a large body of peaceable Chi
nese 'was regarded by the Russians as a
grave peril, and instructions were asked
from St. Petersburg.
The now historic telegram, "Fling Chi
nese across Amur," was wired from St.
Petersburg, and, during the temporary
absence of General Gribski, the message
was literally interpreted by the Chief
of Police, whose bloodthirsty Cossacks
gathered the Chinese together, men, wo
men and children, to the number of
nearly 5000, and literally flung them into
the water, none of the Chinese escaping.
General Gribski was subsequently re
called to St. Petersburg to explain mat
ters to his imperial master, and there is
reason to believe that he was returning
to Blagovestchensk in disgrace and so de
cided to take his own life.
Chinese Stevedore Combine at Manila
Among other schemes now afoot at Ma
nila, says the Times of that city, is one
hatched by ten prominent and wealthy
Chinese, most of whom are interested n
shipping and the various ramifications Of
that Industry or business. Their plans
are all matured, the necessary funds are
forthcoming, and only favorable laws on
the part of the Commission, such as will
guarantee protection to Chinese labor,
are awaited in order to put these dor
mant plans Into operation. The Chinese
promoters have subscribed their names
to a capital of $500,000, which will be real
ized and produced at the proper time. .
The object of the corporation is to im
prove the present methods of loading and
unloading cargo In the bay and at the
wharves. The system, which has been
approved, is that now in use in Shanghai,
and the corporation will take that for Its
model. Large lighters of from 500 to 1000
tons will be bought or built. With these
It is expected that the present mode
of handling cargo could be considerably
expedited, and that where now from four
to five days, are needed to unload a
steamer, the same work will be done, by
means of these lighters and other im
proved facilities, in from one to two or
three days. It Intended that the corpor
ation shall employ mostly Chinese labor,
although the managers will be Ameri
can. Philippines as a Field for Japanese.
Attention Is being drawn to the, Phil
ippines as an Inviting field for Japanese
laborers.
The Japan Times says that in
face of the fact that Japanese emigrants
are disagreeably received in Canada, the
United States, and Australia, the Phil
ippines seem to be the only ground where
they are welcomed. This new field for
American activity having every sort of
business waiting for a fresh start has
an. endless demand for laborers. The
Japanese Consul in Manila has been re
ceiving every day some new inducement
for ehcouragltig Japanese immigrants.
That the wages are generally fair may
be judged by the fact that a Japanese
carpenter receives $3 a day. Immigrants
must have $30 in ready money, which
they must show in the Emigration Of
fice when they land. But the money be
comes quite unnecessary once they have
passed the Emigration Office, so that
the emigrants may easily find the said
money for temporary use. Emigrants
can do without tedious quarantine when
landing, if they have a certificate of the
United States Consulate of the place
where they embark.
Forgrcry on the Hong: Kong: Bank at
Shanghai.
The China Gazette says a daring and
skillful forgery was perpetrated upon the
Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank at Shang
hai by a young Portuguese clerk named A.
Rozario, employed in Messrs. Benjamin,
Kelly and Potts' office. Rozario presented
a check signed apparently by the firm
for 15,000 taelst and asked the shroff to
pay him 6000 in sycee and the rest in notes.
Having no suspicion, and probably think
ing that as the bank would be closed on
the two following days, the firm might
want the cash for the "settlements." the
people in the bank paid out the money
without further inquiry, over the counter.
The young man calmly gathered up his
"loot" and, going straight to the German
bank, almost next door, handed in the
sycee with a request that he should be
given a draft -upon Tien Tsin for 6000
tacls. It was ascertained later that the
note was a forgery by Rozario. and a
very clever one, evidently done by trac
ing the signature on the check over a
genuine signature on some other docu
ment Kobe Bunk Xote Robbery.
The man who stole the bank notes from
the Treasury at Tokio was arrested. He
is an employe of the Treasury named Ku
mazawa Kanshi. He got permission to
absent himself from work for about 100
days on the plea of indisposition, only the
day before the Tobbery was committed.
The authorities suspected the man im
mediately on learning of the robbery ancr
put detectives on his track at once. The
man went to Ueno station, probably with
the intention of leaving Tokio. He was
followed by two detectives and searched.
A packet containing 1650 en of the stolen
money, wrapped up in an old newspaper,
was found upon him, besides several ar
ticles which he had bought with the notes.
The man was immediately marched off1 to
the Kanda police station. A bundle of
notes amounting to 28,000 yen was dis
covered at a kurumaya's house in Miwa
Clio, Shitaya Ku. The culprit could not
have spent more than 350 yen. The man
was in receipt of a dally wage of SO sen
at the Treasury. The authorities suspect
he had accomplices.
Russia and the Linotims Peninsula.
It has been known for some time that
Russia was very disappointed both with
Port Arthur and Dalny (Talienwan).
says the North China Dally News. Port
Arthur Is too small for a first-class naval
station, and it is badly supplied with
water. The great mistake of Dalny Is that
It faces the north; requires an enormous
expenditure of money to make It a good
harbor, and, worse than all, the Chinese
merchants at New Chwang have shown
no disposition to transfer their establish
ments to the new Russian port. The Rus
rlan hope was to attract to Dalny the
trade of Manchuria, now transacted at
New Chwang, Dalny having the advantage
of being open all the year round, while
New Chwang Is closed by ice in tho Win
ter months. But this is no drawback to
the Chinese merchants at New Chwang,
whose homes are In Sohth China, andswho
take advantage of trit annual closing of
the port to isit thpir homes. Low water
in the Russian exchequer is another rea
son for suspending work at Dvlny; anet
It was reported some weeks ago by our
Nagasaki contemporary, on the authority
of a high official at Vladivostock, that
Russia had offered Port Arthur and Ta
lienwan to Japan on condition of Japan's
withdrawing her opposition to the estab
lishment of a Russian naval station at
Masampho, In the south of Corea. There
Is no doubt that it will Involve Russia in
heavy expense to keep open the Man
churi'an Railway in the face of the an
archv that rules in the south of that
province: and that it will be more con
venient and more economical to make
Vladivostock the terminus of the rail
way; and there will doubtless soon be
steamer lines running from Vladivostock
to all countries bordering on the Pacific.
Vladivostock has a harbor which will ac
commodate thlD traffic, and the same can
not be said of Port Arthur or Dalny.
No doubt Russia has secured from China
a sufficient quid pro quo for her abandon
ment of her claim to be indemnified for
the military expenses in China, and for
her retention of Talienwan, and the Port
Arthur-Manchurian Railway; and it will
be interesting to learn what are the terms
of the now convention. Thee is very lit
tle doubt that Russia Is trying to get Chi
na to surrender to her Chinese Turkestan,
and this, as some of the native papers
have already pointed out. is very like
a menace to Britain's Indian Empire.
Bis Seizure of Arms in lions Kong:.
The Hong Kong Daily Press of July 10
says:
"A large and important seizure of arms
and ammunition was made at No. &i
Queen's Road West, yesterday afternoon
about 5 o'clock, by Sargcant Ward. Many
hundreds of new Mausers, old hammer
and needle-guns, several hundreds of re
volvers and Chinese horse-pistol:?, with
ammunition of every kind, reloading and
recapping tools, etc., were seized and
brought to the central station.
"Naturally, tho authorities are reluc
tant to give any Information at present,
at least till the matter has been fully in
vestigated. There is no reason to doubt,
however, that a find most important to
the European colonists of Kong Kong ha9
been made, and that the police officials
responsible for the capture deserve every
credit for their efficient work."
Unveiling of the Perry Monument.
The Perry monument at Kurihama, near
Uraga, was unveiled July 14. The place
where the ceremony was to take place
was enclosed by a bamboo fence 50 ken

Japanese and America flags was erected
at the entrance to this enclosure. The
Japanese warships Shikishlma, Amagi.
Fuso, and the hospital-ship Hakual Maru.
the American warships New lorn, lorn

CHICAGO TROLLEY CAR COLLIDED
WITH SWIFT-MOVIXG TRAIN.
Four Persons Were Killed and
Eleven Injured Slotorman to
1 Blnroe for Hie Aclliit.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17 By the collision of
a trolley-car of the Forty-seventh street
line with a rapidly moving passenger
train on the Pennsylvania Railroad to
night, 11 people were injured and four
killed. The dead are:
Frederick O. Edwards, 37 years old.
Harriet Sutcliffe, 50 years old.
Ida B. Osier, 29 years old, of Connecti
cut. Unidentified woman, 25 years old.
The injured are: "Willis Bowman, mo
torman, fatally; Luther Jackson, inter
nally Injured and ribs broken; Mary
Omally, left arm broken and head cut;
Kate Greenfield, both legs broken and
Internally injured ; Marion Brainerd, cut
on head and shoulders; James Gillette,
cut about face and head; V. P. Fulton,
conductor of car, slightly cut; Margaret
Dwyer, internal injuries; Mrs. Lizzie
Coale, three ribs broken; Dr. Clarissa
Bigelow, left thigh broken; J. Broadwllz,
left leg broken.
The accident occurred at Forty-seventh
street and Stewart avenue, where a large
number of railroad tracks run north and
south on the street level. Across tnese
the street-car line runs at right angles.
The car, which was filled with passen
gers, came up to the tracks tonight from
the west. The gates across the street
car line were down, as a passenger train
was moving rapidly south. Whether the
motorman, Willis Bowman, was unable
to control his car, or whether he became
confused and turned on the current, Is
a matter of doubt. The car paused a
moment as it approached the tracks,
but before Conductor Fulton could alight
to run ahead of the car, according to tho
usual custom, there came a violent lurch,
the car shot forward, passed rapidly
across two Intervening tracks and crashed
heavily Into the passenger train.
Had the car struck a' passenger coach
in tho side, tho loss of life would not
have been so great, but It struck be
tween the rear end of the second coach
and the front end of the third. It was
caught up, whirled around, turned bot
tom side up and carried 50 feet south
of the crossing in a few seconds. At
the time of the collision nearly all the
passengers wero inside the car. Not one
of them had tho slightest warning of the
accident or any chance whatever to make
an escape.
The noise of the collision and the
screams of the injured passengers quickly
brought a largo crowd to the scene and
ambulances and patrol wagons were soon
at the place. The car was so badly
smashed that it took but a short time
to remove the dead and dying. Tower
man Albert Haas, of the railroad, de
clared that the gates wero down and as
the car passed the crossing he could see
Bowman tugging at the brakes and heard
him shout that he could not stop the
car. The trainmen' are not blamed.
Similar Collision In Brooklyn.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. A trolley-car on
the Fifteenth-street line of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company late tonight col
lided with a Long Island Railroad Com
pany locomotive at Kensington crossing
In the lower part of Brooklyn. The mo
torman, named Lee. was killed outright
and some 20 or 25 passengers, who were
on their way to Coney Island, were in
jured. Three of these, it Is said, will
die.

Her treatment had cost her husband, who

Jollet "W'orUs Mny Not Reopen.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17. "The Great West
ern works of the American Tinplate
Company never will be opened." This
declaration, was made this afternoon by a
representative of the combine located in
Jollet. His statement, he slid, was based
on positive information, although he de
clined to give life authority. Following
the utterance, however, came the an
nouncement that General Manager Jones
had been promoted to take charge of a
more extensive territory. In addition to
Mr. Jones' promotion, John Lafpntaine,
foreman of the company In the Jollet
plant, was ordered to Cleveland, where

He said before going: "I do not antici
pate that the mills will start this Winter.
I do not care to say what will be done
until "I receive further information."
Blood Money Not "Wanted.
CHICAGO. Aug. 17. A special from Mil

South Chicago mills:
"I shall not return to the Chicago mills
until I have been inviteyd. In reference to
the assertion that the Chicago men in
sist on their right to pay part of their
wages to the association to aid In prose
cuting thcXstrike, I would say that the
Amalgamated Association dees not want
blood money. They have refused to stand
by the organization; they have been read
out of it, and that ends the matter unless
they should repent. Until they are with
us on principle we want none of their
assistance."
Secretary TIghe has bpen Invited to visit
the union at East Chicago, Ind., where
there are nine Independent mills. It is a
social call only that is asked, ?nd he will
