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.

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.

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.

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.

Sioux City, la , May 27. — L. W.
H ill, vice president of the G r ^ t North

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.

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.

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.”

CONGRESS DID NOT TAKE ACTION
Chairman o f Commission Says Sup

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.”

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.

Trenton, N. J., May 26.— J. H.

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.

Rome, May 25.— It is proposed that

has also been suggested that a cen
tenary international Colnmfius expo
