All San Francisco’s Water-Front
Workers Join in Strike.
NOT A BOAT CAN BE LOADED OR MOVED
Over 25,000 Men Are Now Out—A Gigantic
Struggle for Principles Between Em­
ployers and the Unions.
San Francisco, Aug. 1.—The labor
trouble in this city reached a crisis
yesterday, and as a result maritime
traffic and labor along shore are at a
standstill and industry is almost en­
tirely paralyzed.
The order for a general walkout of
the City Front Federation was made
effective this morning. The federa­
tion comprises 14 unions and organiz­
ations, with a full membership of
about 15.000
Three thousand of
these men are employed at sea or in
■other cities, and the strike order does
not apply to them until they return
to San Francisco. Twelve thousand
men obeyed the order today.
These unions which have just went
out, with the others already out, will
make a total of over 25,000 union
•workingmen who have stopped labor
since the middle of May.
The following resolution was adopt­
ed by the federation.
“The full membership of the City
Front Federation refuses to work at
the docks of San Francisco, Oakland,
Port Costa and Mission Rock. The
steamers Bonita and Walla Walla,
with mail and passengers, now in the
stream, will be allowed to go to sea.”
When the news of the action of the
federation was sent to the various
headquartres of the unions, it was
greeted with cheers.
When the order to walk out went
into effect, all the big shipping com­
panies, with one exception, were left
without a union man. By a special
agreement entered into some time
ago between the Pacific Coast Steam-
•ship Company and the Firemen’s
union, firemen remained on the ves­
sels of that corporation. Three coast­
ing steamers, a ship and a schooner
were the only vessels that went to
sea.
Union Principle at Stake.
It is claimed by the officers of all
the organizations involved that the
strike is not purely an expression of
sympathy with the union teamsters
■or any other body of workers who are
in dispute with their employers, but
is a taking up of the gauntlet thrown
down by the Employers’ Association.
In other words, the City Front Feder­
ation is determined to defend the !
principle of unionism which the asso­
ciated employers have announced
their intention to crush out.
Both sides seem determined to
carry the fight on, and ajl efforts on
the part of the mayor and others to
bring about a conciliatory settlement
have thus far proved unavailing. It
is reported authoritatively that seve­
ral of the larger wholesale houses will
close down until the strike is settled.
Members of the Employres’ Associa­
tion stated that they have fully con­
sidered the cost of the strike and are
prepared to meet it. The steamship
managers will hold a meeting today
to consider their course.
They are
not members of the Employers’ Asso­
ciation, but will act in harmony with
it. They express the opinion that
they will be able to move ocean going
vessels, but will not discuss their
plans.
EDICT OF THE EMPEROR.
Chinese Foreign Office Is to Be Reorganized
and Advanced in Rank.
Pekin, Aug. 1.—The edict of the
emperor providing for the reorganiz­
ation of the Chinese foreign office
has been received here. Its tone and
substance satisfy the ministes of the
powers.
The edict coincides with
their demands in the matter, formu­
lated by the t’nited States special
commissioner, Mr. Rockhill, as a
condition of peace.
The edict de­
clares that foreign affairs will here­
after be the most important business
of the government, gives the foreign
office precedence over the six old
boards that previously outranked it.
and provides for the reception of the
ministers in the hall which here­
tofore has been entered by only near '
relatives of the emperor.
It also |
provides for the entertainment of the
ministers by the emperor at occasional
banquets.
The German minister, Dr. Mumm
von Schwarzenstein, is engaged in
drafting a protocol providing for the
punishment of Chinamen guilty of
participating in the Boxer movement.
A feature of this is that the number
of culprits has dwindled from 160
men originally named to 54. This is
due to the fact that in the majority
of the cases it has been found impos­
sible to prove the guilt of the accused.
Affairs of Commission Wound Up.

of the United States at the Paris ex­

of Shakspeare and a good deal of Mil­

at 9. By 11 he had read Gibbon. Rob­
ertson and Prescott, and most of Frois­
sart. and at the same age wrote from
memory a chronological table from
1000 B. C. to 1820 A. D„ tilling a quarto
blank book of sixty pages. At 13 he
had read all the great Latin writers
and at the same age had gone through
Euclid, plane and spherical trigonom­
etry, surveying and navigation, and an­
alytic geometry, and was well on Into
the differential calculus. At 15 he could
read Plato and Herodotus at sight and
was beginning German. Within the
next year he was keeping his diary in
Spanish and was reading French, Ital­
ian and Portuguese. He began Hebrew
at 17 and took up Sanskrit the next
year. Meanwhile be was delving in sci­
ence, getting his knowledge from books
and not from his laboratory or the field.
He averaged twelve hours’ study daily,
twelve months In the year, before he
was 16, and afterward nearly fifteen
hours daily, working with persistent
energy; yet he maintained the most ro­
bust health and entered with enthusi­
asm into out of door life.
In 1865 he graduated from the Har­
vard Law School. He had already be­
gun to write for magazines and re­
views, and soon depended on bis pen to
support himself and the wife he had
married while in the law school. His
studies of philosophy led to his giving a
course of lectures on Positive Philoso­
phy at Harvard in 1869. and the follow­
ing year he was an instructor in history
there. From 1872 to 1879 be was assist­
ant librarian of the college. Since 1879
lie liad been a member of the Board of
Overseers of the university. Since 1884
he had tilled a non-resident professor­
ship of American history in Washing­
ton University. St. Louis.
It was as a public lecturer on histori­
cal themes that Prof. Fiske became
most widely known, both in this coun­
try and In Great Britain. In both his­
tory and philosophy he contributed
many works of permanent literary
value.
I’rof. Fiske disregarded the usual
rules of health. He always sat in a
draught when he could find one and
worked in a temperature of from 55 to
60 degrees. He worked the greater por­
tion of the twenty-four hours and night
and flay were alike to him. He ate
whenever he was hungry, disregarding
meal hours. He rarely drank wine, but
smoked incessantly.

On every dairy farm, large or small,

Filling the Hilo.
It used to be thought that rapid fill­
ing of the silo was all Important. It
must be filled so fast that no layer of
fodder could wilt before It was covered
with another, and thus the fermenta­
tion beginning at the bottom must
gradually work up through the mas*
until it reached tlie surface, where oxi­
dization or rotting began, which again
worked downward until the decayed
matter on the surface prevented any
more air from going down. Naturally
we accepted this Idea, as It was sent
out by learned chemists and selentlfla
men, but opinions have changed since
those days In the light of positive facts.
The farmers who have not been able
to fill their silos as rapidly as they
wished to, or have been obliged to
wait for help, for weather or for some
later field to attain maturity, or those
who from lack of facilities for rapid
handling have been obliged to fill slow­
ly, have found that their ensilage was
