The unsettled feeling wmc been apparent for the last few daye. how- ever, continues, n v& . brigade headquarters, where all the start officers were kept busy In connection wltn the movements ot troops, and In keeping in touch with the situation in the entire county. Officers around headquarters reel that the tension Is increasing, and would not be surprised If some of the troops now in camp here should be sent into tuc surrounding region. Probably the most Important develop ment in the Shenandoah region today was the arrest and commitment to the County Jail of two wounded Lithuanians who participated in the riot of last week. Tho arrcct was attended with a consider able show of military force, uney we.c taken into custody by constables, who were surrounded by a platoon of Infantry men, and wero taken through the streets under a strong guard. The prisoners were located in boarding-houses In the heart of the foreign quarter of the town. Each had been shot In the foot during the riot and was unable to walk. The constables feared that trouble would result when they ar rested them, and upon their suggestion General Gobln sent a platoon of Company L. of the Twelfth Regiment, to protect them. The prisoners were taken to the office of Squire Shoemaker, where they were given a hearing. The Lithuanians, along with a fellow-countryman who was ar rested late Saturday night on the charge of being a participant In tho riot, were thpn Arralmied. The Drlnclpal witness was Thomas R.

His takes have been transported oy the schooners, about 100 tons -each, to tho main Island of the Bonln group, whero they are reshipped. One of the schooners left for Marcus Island July 12. There is evidence that the Americans occupied the Island before the Japanese, but they are said to have abandoned it. Tho Island Is not particularly rich, the entire revenue from fishing, hunting, etc, being placed at only 0.O00 annually, but the question Is looked upon as Deing nuei estlng diplomatically. Mr. Ishil will ar rive at the Island In time to recolve Cap tain Rosehlll and explain his government's title to the place, and his presence will also rearsure the little company of Jap anese Islanders, who are. no doubt, con siderably alarmed at the turn of events. A few days ago, says the Kobe Chron icle, two men and. three women wero found in a boarding-house in Kobe. The police suspected that the girls were be ing conveyed to America, and the party was taken to the Kobe police station, where the men confessed that this was Jhe case. At first the women insisted tnat theyhad come on a visit to Kobe, but on being told that the two men had confessed they followed suit. After being sverely reprimanded the men were discharged, while the women wore returned to their respective home. As an Inducement to the girls to go with him to America, the man Ishizaki stated that he once kept a grog shop in San Francisco, and that numbers of Japanese girls earned their living in these places. A Japanese woman who belonged to Chlba Prefecture, he sold, had made a large sum by the regu lar traffic ln Japanese girls. She had eono out to America as a waitress. A central chamber of tho tea guild has issued a warning to those concerned, in accordance with a resolution passed at the recent meeting at Shlzuoka. Tho chamber Is much exercised over the over production and coarse .manufacture, ln view of the recent Increasing export of tea. The warning pays that besides the short production of first tea, the abolition of the United States war tax stimulated tea export, and should foreign complaints be raised ln connection with coarse' manu- ! facture the Japanese tea trade will no more be able to enjoy the benefit accru. ing from the abolition of the tea tax. The Minister of Finance, Baron Sone, announces that Formosan works loan bonds, having a face value, of 4,520,000 yen. wero issued July 22 at SS.34 yen per 100 yen face value.

Favored by conditions caused by the drouth. Boxerlsm Is making extraordin ary headway ln Szechuen, says the North China Dally News. So far as we know, the first Boxers began their propa ganda ln a small way about the begin ning qf this Chinese year. Last month two battles took place between the Vice roy's troops and the Boxers, the first at Tszyanghslen, lf6s than S00 11 away, the second near Anyohslen, not much farther away. In a slightly different direction. Re sult in each case was a victory for the government troops and a disaster to the Boxers. A dozen were killed outright, others wounded and later 12 heads were exposed at two of the city gates of Tzyang. The Boxer cause was supposed to have been dealt a severe blow by these two actions, and so It was, but the out come seems to have been a scattering of the seed, to spring up with mushroom rapidity in scores of market towns and Villages round about. Officials profess zeal Th ntv of Venice was a wooden ves sel, 801 feet long and 42 feet beam. She was owned by the McGraw Transportation Company of Bay City, Mich., and valued at about $175,000. She was commanded by Captain Brodeiick. The Seguln is an iron vessel. 207 feet long and 34 feet beam. She is owned by J. B. Miller, ot Parry bouna, and commanded by Captain J. B. Sims. First Mate Sullivan, of the City of Ven ice, who is lying ln a critical condition at the Marino Hospital, rallied slightly this afternoon and made a statement regard ing the collision. "I was on the night watch," ho said. "It wag something after midnight when I first saw anpther boat ahead. It was still some distance away, but I blew the whis tle to signal the boat. She did not answer. All our lights were burning and there was no fog, oo I don't see how they could have helped seeing us. When the boat was considerably closer, I whistled again, but still there was no answer. I was thon frightened and signalled still another time. No attention was paid to our signals and the boat was bearing directly down upon us. I then attempted to get out of the way and veered the ship diagonally ln her course, hoping to escape with a slight run, but the collision that I began to realize was inevitable. She was even nearer than I supposed, however, and going at a fast rate. Suddenly there was a sickening crash and I was thrown from my feet and the pilot-house was crushed and piled on top of me. I felt a terrible pain ln my back and chest and then I was swept overboard with the pilot-house." Sullivan was picked up after being in the water a short time. Including the crew and passengers, there were about 250 persons on the City of Venice. TOSEE GUN PRACTICE. DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK? !
