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

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.

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

Minister Conger Ridicules Talk
Revenge for Exclusion.
Leavenworth, Kan., May. 26. Edwin
11. 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,

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

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.

The recent ukase issued by the Czar. If carried out In the sDlrlt in which

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

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

The ukase removes all restrictions from the unorthodox and places them.

Treatment of Bright' Disease.
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
