RIOTING IS RESUMED Chicago Police Resort to Clubs to Preserve Peace. BUILDING TRADES ARE INVOLVED N o Prospect o f 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 tights in the lumber district, during which the police were compelled to use th eir clubs, and in one instance revolv ers, 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 th e 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 looking to the active sympathetic sup port of the teamsters’ Btrike. Several o f 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 ni 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. Dever, 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 controversy look ing toward an adjustment of the differ ences between the teamsters and the employers. NEW G O VERNO R IN OFFICE. Magoon Tells Plans o f Commission fo r fcanal 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 o f 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 w ill be increased, that a jurist of Pana ma will be appointed a member of the Supreme court and numerous schools w ill be opened. L E W IS TO N GOES LAND MAD. Railway Projects Make Real Estate Values Soar. Lewiston, Idaho, May 27.— Tn antic ipation of favorable news for immediate railway construction in thir territory, people of Lewiston have been struck with a frenzied fever to buy real estate, and while no deals have come to the suriace 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. w ill begin con struction Monday, under a joint ar rangement with the Northern Pacific, the Riparia-Lewiston branch. Railway officials here w ill not confirm this re port, but from other sources it is known that the reports are practically true. Drives People to the Hil's. Albuquerque, N. M., May, 27.— The Rio Grande, swollen to a river almost a m ile wide, is flowing through the middle of the village ot 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. Will Build Into Omaha. Sioux City, la , May 27. — L. W. H ill, vice president of the G r ^ t North ern railroad, accompanied by a party of railroad officials, arrived here today and left in an automobile to look over the proposed route of the Great North ern extension to Omaha. He said that the Great Northern would be built to Omaha, and that no time would he lost in the construction of the extension. He also said that the extension would be built on the Nebraska side. Antwerp Will Be Fortified. Brussels, May 27. — A bill has been submitted to the Belgian parliament providing the complete reorganization of the defenses of Antwerp, at a cost of $21,600,000, and for harbor works, which w ill increase shipping facilities, at a cost of $36,000,000. R E C LA M A TIO N OF K LA M A TH 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, left 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 w ill probably be the larg est in this part of the country, and the land that is to be reclaimed w ill 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 I.angell, Alkali and Poor w ill be reclaimed, and as this land is said to be among the richest in this part of the country, it w ill not be a matter of difficulty to get people to settle there. 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 tule hay cut on the borders of Tule lake. Some few years ago a company brought water on the land along the northern shores of Tule lake and alfalfa was planted and also orchards were put in. NO E O Y C O T T BY CH INESE. Minister Conger Ridicules Talk Revenge fo r Exclusion. of Leavenworth, Kan., May 26.— Edwin If. 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 daw 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. A t these maBS 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 that 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.” G REAT B A T T L E IS DUE S O O N Linievitch Tries to Assume Offensive, but Oyama is Ready. CHEAPEST IT HOME Shonts’ Experience in Buying Canal Supplies. % CONGRESS DID NOT TAKE ACTION Chairman o f 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 dc ing 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 W hite house. As earnest in his love of country as Washington, as far-seeing as Jefferson, as courageous as Jackson, and as much opposed to human slavery in all forms as Abe Lincoln, he stands robust in his integrity and sturdy in his deter mination that there shall Ire a ‘ square deal all around.’ ” Mr. Shonts said: “ Congress, for some reason unknown to us, although twice asked to declare its wishes, failed to lim it 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.” W A TC H ONE A N O T H E R C L O S E L Y 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 resuts 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.” St. Petersburg, May 26.— 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, bis Cossacks being badly cut up. 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 cations, and the cessation of tranpsort service from Japanese ports. A ll rein forcements available and immense quantities of provisions and munitions of war have been landed at Yinkow and Dalny since Vice Admiral Rojestvensky appeared in the straits of Malacca. Newspaper correspondents at the front are prevented by the censor from telegraphing any intelligent view of the situation, and this has always been the precursor of important developments. General Linievitch has taken far great er precautions than did General Kuro- patkin to prevent his plans fro leaking out. 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 cific coast w ill be heavier than was anticipated. One of the city ticket agents, in speaking of this today, said: “ It indicates that this part of the country is exceptionally prosperous. We had men come in here today from little towns out in Kansas who are going to Portland and will take their whole families with them. This early rush for tickets is not only a big adver tisement for the Lewis and Clark exjK)- sition, but a big ad\e tisement for Kansas. Farmers are prosperous, and they know of no better way to spend their superfluous coin, apparently, than to visit Oregon.” America Elbows England Out. London, May 26.— The board of tradp today issued an exhaustive report made by Special Commissioner H. Cooke, on the trade of Siberia, in which British traders are again taken to task for allowing other nationalities to elbow them out of a promising mar ket. “ The Americans, Danes and Germans,” writes Mr. Cooke, “ are al ready there, and have captured some of the most fruitful fields of enterpirse. These rich acres w ill be to Russia's in creasing millions what the colonies are to the British Isles.” Amnesty Given by Castro. New York, May 25.— President Cas tro has signalized the ojiening of con gress and the beginning of his constitu tional presidency for six years, cables the Caracas correspondent of the Her ald, by decreeing amnesty to all Vene zuelans who, for political reason, have been expatriated, and they are per mitted to return to their country. The amnesty also extends to political pris oners in Venezuela below the grade of colonel. There are about 1,500 politi cal prisoners confined in the dungeons of the larger cities. Tried fo r Being Ghouls. Trenton, N. J., May 26.— J. H. Stone, H. C. Quintard, Charles W . and James Russ, officers of the Nonpareil Cork works, of Camden, indicted for conspiracy to defraud the United State« government by placing bar iron in life pieservers instead of cork blocks, were placed on trial in the United States District court today. James N. Jones, colored, who was employed in the cork works, said he put iron in 250 life pre servers by order of James Russ. Raise Columbus Monument. Rome, May 25.— It is proposed that a Catholic committee, under the direct patronage of the Vatican, shall raise a subscription fund for the purpose of building a centenary monument to Co lumbus, to be placed in St. Peters. It has also been suggested that a cen tenary international Colnmfius expo sition be held in Rome, where every thing connected with the explorer’s bi ography, souvenirs, sciences, arts, literature and ethnology would be seen. Magoon and Wallace on the Zone Colon, May 26.— Charles G. Ma goon, governor of the Panama canai zone, and John F. Wallace, chief en gineer of the canal, arrived here today from New York and started for Panama at once.

Children have no aptitude for certain studies. 8ome can never understand grammar or see the sense of it. Some might study geography all their lives aud 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. There are certain studies that children cannot understand and never will understand. Their minds are so constituted. It is not because they do not learu. Their objection to study is not based on laziness or in difference, but because of the useless ness and unproductiveness of study.
