STOCKHOLM. Aug. t With the street car lines tied up thLs morning and all cabdrivers refusing to work, the labor difficulties here give promise of soon be coming acute. The general strike called for today has not yet become thoroughly effective, though the ranks of the strikers have been considerably augmented. Many affiliated orpanisations. while sympathiz ing with the strike movement, are still withdrawing their active support, pre ferring to let others take the lead In the present crisis. The strike la by no means general In the provincial towns and industrial cen ters of Sweden. In most places the streetcars are running and the city em ployes are at work as usual. No dis :urbanee have been reported. The load ing of ships at Gothenburg, where 10.000 un are on strike, is being done by 'j-oops. Troops Incene Workmen. The fact that the troops are protecting the gas works and the electric light plant has Incensed the workmen, whose lead ers threaten to call out all the men un less the fwldlers are withdrawn. The Printers- Union this morning resolved to postpone for the present any decision to go on a strike. A corps of workmen, some thousand strong, are being organized with the ob ject of maintaining order, and the peo ple generally, bankers, merchants, etc.. are arming themselves for self-protection. The gunpiiops of tlie city are practi cally denuded of revolvers and small arms. All tourists have left the city, and the number of visitors now In the city to smaller than at this season for mary years. Railroads Still Ran. Although railroad men have decided rot to strike, the government 1s taking the precaution to guard the tracks with troops. Quantities of dynamite are re ported to have mysteriously disappeared recently from the government stores. The leaders of the strike claim that the :nd of the week will see a notable spread f the movement: that the railroad, pos tal, telegraph arid telephone employee and the printers will by that time have joined the etrike. All milk supplies have been cut off and thousands of babies are suffering from lack of nourishment. The streets of Stockholm are filled with idlers, who promenade back and forth chaffing the volunteer street-cleaners, many of whom belong to the better classes. All the ferries have stopped running and there is little communication between Stockholm and the suburbs reached by water routes. This fact will result in a further dim inution of food supply. For the present all is quiet, but trouble Is expected when the stocks of food begin to run down. WRIGHT'S TIME IN DANGER Jomnier Nearly Kquals American's Knduranoe Record in Air.

MOTORS NOT YET PERFECTED When They Are, Says Curtlss, Aero planes Will Soar Higher. NEW YOKiv. Aug. 4. Glenn H. Cur tis, the aeroplanist. declares that the objection of military authorities to fly ing machines on the theory that they cannot ascend sufficiently high to be out of range of guns, is without founda tion. "There are only two things at present which are retarding long-continued high flights by aeroplanes." Curtiss said. "The first thing is the nerve of the operator and the second the fear that the motor will suddenly stop or develop pther trou bles that might make a quick descent from a high elevation dangerous. As soon as the motor trouble can be overcome, the nerve of the operator will be found. The aeroplane motor la still In Its ex perimental stage. It Is not the fear of meeting troublesome cross currents of air In the high sections that retards high flying. The trouble Is witn the motor. It has been lightened and simplified to the last degree possible by the elimina tion of as many parts as possible from the heavier and more reliable motor a used In automobile, and yet It is expect ed to show an equally high degree of ef ficiency." WIND SPOILS TRY AT RECORD Curtis Cheated of Chance to Break Record by Weather. MINEOLA. La-. Aug. 4. Glenn Curtis, the Hammondsport, N. Y.. aviator, de clined to attempt nights here today.

The only evidences of the terrible nightmares through which the city passed last week are the ruins of the convents and churches, and the torn-up pavements, the stones of wlilch were used for the erection of barricades. There is. however, considerable appre hension for the future. The terrible re pressive measures of the military au thorities have left a deep undercurrent of resentment among the masses, and it ta thought that the rebellion may flare up again. The people are clamoring for the release of the prisoners in the dungeons of Fort Montjulch. The mush room republics proclaimed In some of the communes faded away as soon as the soldiers made their appearance. SPAIN BOASTS OF PEACE NOW Government Issues Statement That Revolt Is Entirely Suppressed. MADRID, Aug. 4. The government to day issued an official announcement say ing the crisis In Spain was now at an end, and the country was tranquil from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean.

HOPES T0PUNISH CRAIG (Continued From First Page ) under a severe mental strain, Mrs. Castle was taken to headquarters for the usual Inspection at the detective bureau. The indignity of being photographed and measured was spared her. To the officers of the bureau Mrs. Castle talked freely about herself and the train of events which led up to the sensational climax of yesterday. She went "over her stage experience, which she said began in San Francisco, where she appeared in "The Girl of the Golden West." Craig, who is a lawyer, now practicing in this city, she said she had known since he was a child. Denying the impu tation that she had forced her atten tions on Craig, she declared that on the other hand he had been following so ALFONSO AND VICTORIA. persistently for the last five months that she was afraid he would compromise hei. "I intended to kill myself." Mrs. Castlo told the detective bureau's chief, "and had the revolver in my hand, but he was struck by the bullet I had Intended for myself. I knew Mr. Craig went to the rooms of the Rocky Mountain Club In the Waldorf-Astoria to read, and after he passed me without taking notice of my presence, I said to him: " "Well, don't pass without recognizing me. I am going to finish myself.' " According to Mrs. Castle s statement, Craig told her to go ahead and do it. "Mr. Craig has been an admirer of me ever since I was a tot," she said. "I have never annoyed or molested him in any way. His wife and I are distant cousins, but w-e are not now on friend ly terms. This is because Mr. Craig told Mrs. Craig in my presence that he admired me. It is quite natural that Mrs. Craig should defend her husband. I would do it if I were in her place." Mrs. Castle said she purchased the re volver with which the shooting was done some time ago and carried it as a means of self-protection. Has Husband in Alaska. Mrs. Castle's maiden name was Mary Scott and she Is the daughter of H. H. Scott, a merchant iof San Francisco. Her husband, at one time a well-known lawyer in San Francisco, is said to be at present in Alaska. The Castles have been living apart for some time. After coming East several years ago, Mrs. Castle appeared in several productions. Mrs. Castle, who was hysterical most of the night, denied that after firing the first shot she had pursued Craig Into the elevator and there tried again to shoot him. She said that when Craig had spurned her on her first appearance, she unconsciously walked with him towards the elevator: that when she realized that he would have no more to do with her, she drew the weapon Intending to kill her self, but that Craig grabbed at the pistol and it was discharged, the bullet striking him, but being deflected by a fountain pen In his vest pocket. Mrs. Castle said she then followed Craig into the elevator and when he said that he had been shot she turned the revolver on herself, but was disarmed before she could take her own life. PACK TO BE GREATEST RUN IN BERING SEA REPORTED RECORD-BREAKER. Catch of Sockeyes at Bellingham To tals 355,000 for 24 Hours. Dr. Jordan at Banks. BELLINGHAM. Aug. . 4.

Blaine and Ana cortes aggregate 855.000 sockeyes for the 24 hours ending at noon. Dispatches received by the officials of the Alaska Packers' Association report the pack in Bering Sea and northern waters to date the largest of any season since the industry was established.

Belland. manager of its cannery at Nushagak River, Bristol Bay. Alaska The message was dated at Nome on July 29. and was probably sent out from Nush agak about a week earlier. It says every one was well, and the run of fish was fast dropping off. but there was every Indica tion the cannery would put up its full pack, which means in the neighborhood of 50.000 cases.

PEOPLE SEE DEATH First Public Execution in Paris for 15 Years. NO DISORDER IN CROWDS Parricide Executed Near Saute Pris on, Odd and Curious Customs of Ancient Bays Being Followed. PARIS, Aug. 5. A sudden official an nouncement that a public beheading would take place at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon (Thursday) in the boulevard fronting the Sante Prison, caused a sen sation In Paris, which had not seen an execution in 16 years. Immediately Immense crowds gathered at the scene, but were kept back from the guillotine by heavy details of police and municipal guards. v Parisian sentiment has . long been against public execution, for in the past they were accompanied by scandalous scenes of revel. Despite this sentiment Parliament re fused to abolish the death penalty In France, and in view of the revolting crime of the man executed thla morning. President -Fallieres refused to commute his sentence to life Imprisonment. The victim was named Duchemy, was 23 years old, and a butcher. In 1908 he stabbed his mother, and this not resulting in her death, he finished her by strangu lation. The motive for the crime was robbery. The crowds were unable to get within two blocks of the guillotine, which was erected beneath the trees beside the prison wall. The only spectators of the execution were a number of officers and a large crowd of Journalists. As the trembling wretch stepped out of the wagon, following a priest, who was holding a crucifix before him, it was seen that, according to the law dealing with parricides, he was barefooted and his head covered with a transparent veiling, while a cape of crude material but half covered his naked chest. Before the onlookers had time to ex press their wonderment at this strange and disconcerting garb, which gave one the . impression that the victim was a woman, the flowing veil fell from the head, the cape from the shoulders and the victim was seized and thrown under the knife. In a flash all was over and the crowd dispersed without disorder. HEFL1N FIGHTS IN ROAD ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN HITS CHAVFFEUR WITH FISTS.

Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, be came involved In a personal encounter with an automobilist named Johnson hero today. Mr. Hefltn, and Representative Ollie James, of Kentucky, were crossing F street together when an automobile whizzed by them. Mr. James says the driver was handling the machine care lessly, and was exceeding the speed limit, very nearly running them down. When the car stopped some distance up the street the two Congressmen followed and took the car's number. Observing this action, the automobilist followed and hailed the Congressmen, in quiring why they had taken his number and asking their names. The Congress men said that they intended to report him for fast driving and told him who they were. Denying their allegations, the driver is said to have made some remark that was exceedingly distasteful to Mr. Heflin, whose rejoinder was sharp and to the point. The Congressmen then moved away, but the automobilist, it is alleged, followed them, demanding that Mr. Heflin with draw his statement. Then the men fought. Few blows were struck. Mr. James and Mr. Heflin's colleague, Mr. Clayton, who had come along, separated the combatants before any damage had been done. Extra Dividend for A. T. Co. NEW YORK. Aug. 4.

WANTED FAMILY GUARDED Facts Leading tCp to His Stabbing Made Public Tend to Show Ex tent of the Conspiracy Among Laborers. HONOLULU, Aug. 4. That S. Sheba, the Japanese editor of .the Shimpo, feared he misht be killed as a result of the policy followed by his paper during the trouble with the Japanese plantation la borers, was shown, today when Mason F. Prosser, his attorney, made public a let ter he received from the editor May in which the attorney was asked to care for Sheba's -family in the event of his death. The letter stated that Maklno.. Negoro and Soga. three of the Japanese on trial, and others of their followers, were pro claiming Sheba a traitor to the interests of his countrymen. The situation looked serious, Sheba wrote, but he declared himself ready to die for what he believed to be the best interests of his country men, and asked only that Prosser look after his family, for whose future he had been able to provide but poorly. He told the lawyer where his will would be found and concluded: "I beseech you to look after my affairs for the sake of my family. I have done my utmost for what I believe to be the best Interests of my countrymen here and have nothing to regret. Please keep this letter confidential until the inevitable happens." Prosser stated also that he had received letters of a threatening nature because of his connection with the editor; and that his partner, W. A. Kinney, who Is con ducting the prosecution of the Japanese casea, had received similar missives. Sheba, who was stabbed yesterday by T. Mori, a fellow-countryman, was re ported to be much Improved today. The trial of the several strike leaders on the charge of conspiracy, which has been in progress for several weeks, but was interrupted yesterday by the stab bjng of Sheba, was resumed today. The court instructed the jury to disregard the Sheba .Incident, but the prosecution, it is said, may try to introduce it as evidence to show the crinimal nature of the al leged conspiracy. CH1LBEHG MAKES PEACE GOVERNOR JOHNSON FRIEXDLY AGAIX TO FAIR PRESIDENT. Little Rift in Lute Is Mended and Both Near-Belligerents Adjourn to Pay Streak. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 4. Speclal.) In view of a treaty of peace entered Into last evening at the exposition grounds between President Chilberg, of the exposition and a certain distin guished son of Minnesota, who has just said farewell to Seattle, it may truth fully be said of the former, as of George Washington, that he was first in war and first in peace. Convinced , by Governor Johnson's frank disavowal of any deliberate in tention of snubbing people of a com mon ancestry, Swedish day, and that his failure to get here from Spokane in time to take part in the exercises Saturday was a sin of omission, rather than of commission, Mr. Chilberg has tened to make the amende honorable for any hasty utterance by which Gov ernor Johnson and Minnesota might have thought to have received discour teous trea-tment. in fact, he had announced he would ignore Johnson's presence, and declared Johnson had forfeited many votes by his slight- Johnson had retorted that he wasn't looking for votes and that he didn't care a rap what Chilberg thought. Mr. Chilberg opened negotiations looking to a patching up of the late unpleasantness when he called up Gov ernor Johnson at the New Washington Hotel early last evening and invjted him to be the honor guest in a person ally conducted tour of the exposition grounds, and more particularly the Pay Streak. "I'm on," replied Minnesota's first citizen In the terse slang which is one of his accomplishments. "And be sure and bring Mrs. Johnson," urged the head of the big show. "Sure, Mike Mr. Chilberg. I mean," returned his excellency." "You've been working pretty hard. Governor, since you struck town," said Mr. Chilberg, "and you know we've had our litle Joke about your not get ting here Swedish day, and I think we're entitled to a little fun." This sentiment coincided exactly with the Governor's frame of mind. The result was that the Governor and Mr. Chilberg soon became fast friends, and before they had got half way down the line they were seeing the shows arm In arm, their faces wreathed in expansive smiles.
