RIOTING IS RESUMED fhlrann Pfiilr.fi Rpsnrt fn Tilth to Preserve Peace. SU1LDING TRADES ARE INVOLVED 1 No Prospect of Immediate Settlement and Mayor and Peace Com mittee Give Up Hope. Chicago, May 27. Rioting broke out Afresh today in the teamsters strike, and although nobody was seriously .hurt, there were a number of vicious rights in the lumber district, during which the police were compelled to use their clubs, and in one instance revolv era, in order to disperse the mob'. The strike today spread - in a small degree throughout the building trades ' There were a number of instances where woodworkers refused to receive the material delivered by non-union teamsters and walked out. This move in every instance was made by the men - as individuals only. No official action was taken by any of the trades unions loosing to the active sympathetic sup' port of the teamsters' strike. Several - of the labor leaders in the ranks of the material trades have declared within the last 24 hours that there is no pros pect in their opinion, of any complete ' tie up of the building trades by a strike -of the men. There is no movement at present looking towards a settlement of the strike. . Mayor Dunne today for the ' first time since the commencement of the teamsters' strike declared that he knew of no contemplated plans for ; peace. The mayor talked as though he had abandoned hopes of a settlement - Bever, chairman of the City Council Peace committee, appointed a week ago, said tonight that he had practically ceased work, as the committees could see no avenue in the controversv look ing toward an adjustment of the differ ences between the teamsters and the employers. . , ., RECLAMATION OF KLAMATH United States Engineer Starts for the Field to Push the Work. San Francisco, Cal., May 26. E. G. Perkins, an engineer in the United States reclamation service, geological department, leit tonight for the north, where he is to start the enormous re clamation works in the Klamath basin, for which the sum of $4,400,000 has been appropriated. This work will probably be the larg est in this part of the country, and the land that is to be reclaimed will be able to support a population of at least 100,000 souls. There is to be little delay in the be ginning of the reclamation project, and Mr. Perkins is going north to look over the ground and commence operations. According to estimates of engineers there is embraced in Klamath basin 5, 505 acres of public lands and 42,825 acres of private lands, making a total of 48,330 acres. The valleys of Langell, Alkali and Poor will be reclaimed, and as this land is said to be among the richest in this part of the country, " it will not be a matter of difficulty to get people to settle there. r. It is only within the past few years that the cattlemen have attempted to cultivate that land. 'For years it was given over to the pasturing of stock and the only feed that was given the cattle during the winter months was from the tnle hay cut on the borders of Tule lake. Some few years ago a company NEW GOVERNOR IN OFFICE. "Magoon Tells Plans of Commission for Canal Zone. Panama, May 27. Hezekiah A. Gudger, judge of the canal zone, this morning administered the oath of office to Charles G. Magoon, governor of the ' canal zone, in the Ancon district. The ceremony took place in the presence of President Amador and the cabinet, the .'diplomatic and consular corps " and prominent native and foreign residents. Governor. Magoon, in his inaugural speech, said the reorganization of the canal commission had resulted in the centralization of authority and transfer of power from Washington to Panama permitting the putting of more energy into the work. Regarding the work of sanitation, the governor said that no effort and no expense would be spared to make the zone healthy. He said that the number of judges in the zone will be increased, that a jurist of Pana ma will be appointed a member of the Supreme court and numerous schools will be opened. "LEWISTON GOES LAND MAD. Railway Projects. Make Real Estate Values Soar. Lewiston, Idaho, May 27. In antic ipation of favorable news for immediate railway construction in thic territory. people of Lewiston have been struck with a frenzied fever to buy real estate. and while no deals have come to the surface today, it is known that transac tions involving over $ 100,000 have been made. - This excitement was strengthened this evening by rumors to the effect that the O. R. & N. Co. will begin con struction Monday, under a joint ar rangement with the Northern Pacific. the Riparia-Lewiston branch. Railway officials here will not confirm this re port, but from other sources it is known that the reports are practically true. Drives People to the Hills. Albuquerque, N. M., May, 27. The Rio Grande, swollen to a river almost a mile wide, is flowing through the middle of the village ol Tome, 20 miles south of Albuquerque, while the 600 inhabitants of the village are camping on the hill and watching their homes being swept away. The entire prop erty of the villagers is destroyed, along with their crops. A strong dike had been built along the river north and south of the village, and it was be lieved that, no matter what the rise this spring, the village was safe. CHEAPEST AT HOME Shonts' Experience In Baying Canal Supplies. CONGRESS DID NOT TAKE ACTION Chairman of Commission Says Sup plies Are Bought at Home in Open Competition. Chicago, May 25. Paul Morton, secretary of the navy, and Theodore P. Shonts, chairman of the Panama Canal commission, were the guests of the Chicago Bankers' club at a banquet here tonight. Mr. Morton was asked to respond to the toast of "The President," and after expressing his pleasure at Deing able to meet the members of the Bankers' club,' he said of President Roosevelt : 'He is, taken all in all, one of the most remarkable of all the great men who have occupied the White house.

Conger, ex-minister to China, is visiting his daughter at Fort Leaven worth. Mr. Conger is on his way to his new post in Mexico. "Tne talk of the Chinese retaliating against the ex clusion law by boycotting American made goods is amusing to me, said Mr. Conger today. "Of course you know how American politics are run ; well, the Chinese were politicians be fore America was discovered. They know more tricks than their American brethren. - . "While much of the agitation has occurred since I left China, there was some prior to that. At these mass meetings of merchants, as they were called, there was a liberal sprinkling of politicians and ' possibly one or more merchants who had been run in. The politicians did most of the talking and then the news was spread broadcast that the merchants would boycott American goods. I believe thai the truth of the mat ter is that the Chinese merchants have no idea of boycotting American goods. They are in business to make money, and there is a demand for American goods." GREAT BATTLE IS DUE SOON Mr. Shonts said: "Congress, for some reason unknown to us, aitnougn twice asked to declare its wishes, failed to limit the purchase of materials and supplies entering into the ' construction of the canal to the American markets. Whatever the absence of the instruc tions from congress, the commission feels it is its duty to make its pur chases in whatever markets of the world it can buy cheapest. This pol icy it is pursuing, and, inasmuch as it is getting the great mass of its sup plies in American markets, the infer ence is plain that, notwithstanding our protective laws and notwithstanding our high wages to labor, the American markets are in the main the cheapest markets in the world." WATCH ONE ANOTHER CLOSELY Linievitch Tries to Assume Offensive, but Oyama is Ready. St. Petersburg, May 2b. The news from the front continues to point to the proximity of fighting on a large scale. Lieutenant General Linievitch sent Lieutenant General Rennenkampff's Cossacks on a daring expedition around Field Marshal Oyama s left.- Rennen- kampff succeeded in getting to the rear of the Japanese, but. he paid dearly, his Cossacks being badly cut np. Many believe that General Linievitch is trying to take the offensive out of Marshal Oyama's hands. The latter has made all preparations against the possible interruption of his communi- Both Armies Ready to Fight Russian Raid Repulsed. Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, May 25. -The situation is very tense, and . the rival commanders are watching each other like hawks. Field Marshal Oyama has made no decisive move. Lieutenant General Rennenkampff, however, made a bold reconnaissance at the cost of several hundred casual ties, but the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press was not allowed to tele graph the resuls obtained. It is-possi ble that it was Rennenkamkff's cavalry which penetrated southwest of Fako- man. . A dispatch from Tokio dated May 22, said: "A body of the enemy's cavalry dismounted, attacked Tangshed, on the right bank of the Liao river, 13 miles southwest of Fakoman, on the morning of May 20. After an engagement last ing two hours the enemy retreated in disorder toward the southwest, aban doning 300 killed or wounded." COMING WITH GREAT RUSH. Educational Methods In Tone in I Many Schools Criticised. "My boy advanced rapidly In all his studies except one last session and because he failed m this he was not permitted to enter the higher grade. This session he la playing with his lessons, having really only, one to study, and I doubt If he is studying that" i ., So spoke a mother, according to the Memphis News-Sclmltar, and in what she said she expressed the experience of a good many mothers, whose boys, tor one cause or another, fall to "pass." There should be some remedy for this. Of course rule and regulation are necessary In schools as elsewhere, but causing a boy to throw away a large part of a school session should be avoided If possible. Children have no aptitude for certain studies. . Some can never understand grammar or see the sense of It. Some might study geography all their lives and never be able to bound the county in which they live. Some might put in years on the study of mathematics without ever learning how to add up a grocery bill. Thaje are certain studies that children cannot understand and never will understand. Their minds are so constituted. It is not because they do not learn. Their objection to study is not based on laziness or in difference, but because of the useless ness and unproductiveness of study. What is the use of studying what can not be learned? The old - remedy for this was flog ging. This was In. the old, barbarous days, not so very remote either, when physical punishment was the panacea for all mental obliquities and when peo ple who did not do and see and be lieve as others wanted them to do and and believe were supposed to be possessed of a devil" which could be I exorcised only by larruping or tortur-. ing the one so possessed. We have outgrown this so far as the Infliction of physical pain is concerned, but we have not outgrown It sufficient ly -to restfue us from the folly of ex pecting the Impossible If a child has no aptitude for "fig ures ' and cannot keep up with his class he should not be cast Into outer darkness on this account, set back apd prevented from learning those -things for which he has a special aptitude. There should be some flexibility to the rule. The trouble with our pupil factories is that they are like shoe factories and all other factories where products are turned out on a lage scale. Each Indi vidual must adjust himself to the vari ous phases of the process without any regard to- his Individual characteris tics. With the private tutor the pupil learns what he can learn and what he cannot learn he leaves alone. This is not practicable in the public schools, of course, but the rule that keeps a child back because he has no genius for a particular study makes a lag gard of him and should be relaxed. Kansas Farmers. Swarm to Buy Tick ets to Fair. Kansas City, Mo., May 25. The sale of special rate tickets to Portland, Or., opened so briskly as to astonish the local railroad officials. From the number of tickets purchased, it is ap parent that passenger traffic to the Pa- cations, and the cessation of tranpsort cific coast will be heavier than was service from Japanese ports.

If carried out In the sDlrlt in which it seems to have been written, will give religious fredom to nearly 80,000,000 people and rank as one of the principal measures of reform and Justice In Russian history. All Christians who are -.ot orthodox from the point of view . of the state church and all non-Chrlstlans, except Jews, are benefited. Russia has had a semblance of religious liberty, but it has been only a semblance. Anybody might enter the orthodox Greek church, but those leav ing it have been punished by deprivation of all civil rights. The ownership of property, both real and personal, by dissidents has been narrowly re- auriciea, ana tney nave not been permitted to establish monasteries, build schools and churches, or print or ch-cnlate religious literature. Schismatics have been barred from cadet and military schools, and, while the govern ment has had no scruples against using them as food for powder, they have been prohibited from being officers In the army, or even receiving medals iur uravery. xne law has told the people they were free to think and wor ship as they pleased, and has at the same time prescribed punishments for those who exercised their freedom by affiliating with any other than the orthodox church. The ukase removes all restrictions from the unorthodox and places them. both as religionists and as citizens, on a par with the orthodox. It puts them in much the same position relative to the Greek church as dissenters occupy relative to the established church In England. The Greek church will be supported by the state, but those who belong to other churches will not. tnereiore, De penalized.

A person Mifferine from chronic kid ney disease is the victim of a serious maladv. and of course should not at tempt to manage Ms own case if he would avoid the proverbial reproacn of the' man who is his own doctor or lawyer. Yet In a disease of such long continuance the physician cannot ordi narily be In sucn constant attendance as In cases of acute disease, and In the Intervals of his visits the patient can often aid very materially in the treatment If, he is familiar with the general . principles upon which it is based. The main object of treatment Is to guard the crippled kidney from any thing that will further injure it or tax its .-enfeebled powers of eIimlnation. To this end the diet should be very carefully regulated. Eggs, meat, rich or highly seasoned dishes, or alcoholic beverages, should be permitted only in the smallest quantities. The ideal food for a sufferer from Bright's disease is milk, since it meets nearly all the re quirements of a food which can be di gested readily and leaves the smallest amountrof waste material, and at the same time nusnes tne Kianeys, wasn- ing out the poisons that will Injure still more the already damaged tissues if not quickly removed. Most persons can take milk readily and digest it easily, but some either do not like the taste of it or cannot (or think they cannot) digest it If it is the palate that rebels, the milk may be flavored with a little tea or coffee, or It 'may be made into a soup with oysters or clams or onions, or it may be jellied, or buttermilk may be substituted. When milk is not digested It is usu ally because it Is taken In too large amount or in too concentrated form. It may be diluted with Vichy or lime water, or distilled water containing a little salt or bicarbonate of sodium. It should never be gulped- down, but should be sipped and held in the mouth a moment to secure its admixture with saliva before swallowing. An exclusive milk diet can seldom be kept np for a long period, but the occasional resort to it for a week or ten days at a time is often of the greatest service in se curing a rest for the kidneys, and in washing them free from all the ac cumulated debris of the meat-and-veg- etable-eating periods. A sufferer from Bright's disease should also . be warmly clad, and should, so far as possible, avoid all ex posure to cold and wet shunning high, and especially east winds. For the few who can pick their climate to suit their needs, a removal to a tropical or semi-tropical country is of the great est advantage. Youth's Companion. POCKETS FOR WOMEN. Desirable but Almost Unattainable Consummation. For one blessing man is enviable ' his pockets. Woman occasionally has a pocket, but she can't use it "Put lu a pocket" she pleads, and the dress maker sends home the new skirt with a pocket stowed away In the recesses of a hook-up placket hole. It Is not a workable pocket for three reasons: First, it bulges if there Is even a handkerchief in It, destroying the sym metry of the outline. Second, things aimed at It rarely suc ceed in forcing an entrance, but . fall alongside, downward, with a whack on the floor. Third, who could fumble through a whole row of hooks and eyes, placed in the center seam at the back? As a trifling obstacle In the way of blind manipulation it may be mentioned that such hooks are usually of a tricky patent, or they would not stay fasten ed at all. At the hem of the garment, under the "foundation" frill, pockets like a tiny crescent-shaped pouch may also be found lurking. A handkerchief can repose in one In safety, merely involv ing some suppleness in the owner, who must execute a kind of dive in with drawing and reinserting it. A silk foundation sometimes accommodates -quite a practical-looking receptacle, to which the unwary at first intrust even a purse or a pocket knife. But hard objects dangling on a level with the knee are ill companions, and those who have once knelt on a latchkey never desire to repeat the experience. "I asked for pockets and they gave . me handbags," is the plaint of the pet ticoated throng, who wonder who will invent' them a third hand for their um brellas while they guard their money with their right ana with their left keep their garments from the mud. Meantime, says the London Graphic. while fashion is decreeing that sover eigns shall Jingle In jeweled coat of mall from the end of a slender chain, apparently designed for the ready plir ers of the thief, womankind, more cun ning than they seem, are carving a way out of -the difficulty. They may carry their purse for all the world to see, and a handkerchief peeps out of their sleeves, but In many a silken un derskirt, where It will not fnterfers with the set, is apocket, (roomy and secure.
