St. Petersbuig, Aug. 25.—The No- vosti says: “Continued violation of neutrality laws in the Chigese ports by the Jap anese will compel Russia to regard the Chinese empire, or at least part thereof, as being within the sphere of uctive hostilities; “China lacks either the power or the Inclination to prevent Japanese incur- sions.

[Fo } Fire and Building Regulations Do Not Extend to The Premises. i Chicago sudge Brentano during the day issued an injunction restraining the city of Chicago from interfering with the lodging of non- union employes in the packinghouses at the stock yards. The city announced that an appeal ‘would be taken to the appellate court. The injunction was issued in a fest case brought by the G H. Hammond company. Seven additional petitions were at once filed, following the de- cision of the court, for an extension of the temporary injunction to all the packing companies within the stock yards with the exception of the Omaha Packing, company. In the Hammond case the court found that the building in controversy is not within the fire limits and can- not, therefore, be regulated by the fire or building ordinances of the city. Judge Brentano asked that the addi- tional petitions be left with him so that he could look them over. ASK MINERS FOR HELP, Striking Butchers at Chicago Want Fi- nancial Aid. Chicago, Aug. 25.—President Don- nelly, the leader of the stock yards strike, returned from Indianapolis dur- ing the day, after having made an ap- peal to the miners’ national organiza- tion for financial assistance in con- ducting the strike. Donnelly had re- ceived no definite reply from the min- ers when he left. He declared, how- ever, that he had every reason to an- ticipate results from his appeal. When asked what he thought of a settlement through the proposed action of the city council the head of the butchers’ organization said he did not place much hope in it. He said he was not aware of any other pending peace effort. The packers resumed the importa- tion of strike breakers on a large scale Auring the day. A special train of seven carloads arrived over the Erie and two carloads were brought in un- der heavy police guard over the Monon road. SLUMP IN PRICE OF WHEAT. Due to Belief That Damage Reports Are Exaggerated. Chicago, Aug. 25.—This was bargain day on the Chicago board of trade. ‘Wheat for the September delivery was marked down from $1.08%, where it was at the close of the session Tues- day, to $1.03%. There was an even greater cut for December dellvery, ‘which sold down to $1.04%, as com- pared with $1.09% at the previous close. May wheat, that was bringing $1.- 1114 Tuesday, could be had ‘in lots at $1.06%. The reason for the bearish attitude of transactions as compared with the past four or five days was that the reports from the Northwest that all the spring wheat had been eaten up with the rust were believed to have been grossly exaggerated and by many are now thought to have been inspired to a considerable extent by speculative interests. MANY HURT IN WRECK. Rock Island Passenger Train Ditched in Northern Missouri. Trenton, Mo., Aug. 25.—Forty-five persons were injured, two of them se- riously, in the wreck of a passenger train from Chicago on the Rock Island road near Princeton, twenty-four miles north of here.

The refusal of the companies to abide by the association wage agreement is the cause of the strike order. . Await Orders to Strike. New York, Aug. 25.—Nearly 20,000 men will be added to the 30,000 locked out workmen and strikers in the Build- ing Trades alliance when the unions in that body supporting their leader, | Phillip Weinseimer, lay down their tools, as they have just voted to do when called upon by the execuuve committee. GAVE INFORMATION TO POLICE Young New York Italian Shot to Death in Revenge. New York, Aug. 25.—Salvatore Bos- soto, eighteen years old, was shot to death in his father’s restaurant in Park street by Carlo Rossati, thirty- five years old, hecause he had dis- closed to the police secrets of the al- leged “Black Hand” society. The father was knocked down and choked into insensibility by the slayer, who then ran into the street, followed by a great mob. Italians to the num- ber of 1,000 later attacked the Eliza- beth Street police station, hurled mis- siles at the police and prisoner, hurt- ing two detectives and one policeman. They would have torn the murderer limb from limb had it not been for the arrival of the reserve police from two station houses, who were forced to use clubs and fists and threaten to shoot. TO ENLARGE FORT SNELLING. Government Appraisers File Report of Value of Land. St. Paul, Aug. 25.-—The government appraisers have filed their report of the value of the 845 acres of land wanted for the enlargement of the Fort Snelling military reservation. The property is found to be worth $112,900. The appropriation by congress for this purchase falls slightly short of the needed amount, being $110,000. The difference is only $2,900 and the money will be forthcoming. The land will be chiefly used for an infantry target range, which Fort Snelling has never had, and also as room for further improvements, which will make the post one of the largest in the whole country, with cavalry as well as infantry and artillery. PAYMASTER HELD UP. Four Masked Men Rob Him of Five Thousand Dollars. Paterson, N. J., Aug. 25—Four masked men held up the paymaster of the Orouke Construction company, a Mr. White, on the Ridge road near here and robbed him of $5,000. ‘The paymaster, accompanied by two other men, was on the way to the office of the company, driving in a bugsy, when four men, one an American, masked completely, and three Italians wearing blue goggles, came out of the woods. The American shot the horse. The robbers covered the three occu- pants of the huggy with guns and got away with the bag of money, which ‘was in the bottom of the buggy. ROBBERS MAKE GOOD HAUL. Chadron (Neb.) Woman Attacked and $4,000 Taken From Her. Chadron, Neb., Aug. 25—The house of May Johnson was entered through a window by two masked men.

The men then made their escape. MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY. Body of Lumber Camp Foreman Found in Duluth Suburb.

Montpelier, Vt., Aug. 25.—Although the electors of Vermont do not appear to be intensely interested in the state election which will be held on Sept. 6 a lively campaign is in progress. The Republicans are making strong ef- forts tc induce the entire strength of that party in Vermont to appear at the ballot boxes and roll up a plurality that will set the pace for the rest of the country. Fatal Storms in Italy. Rome, Aug. 25.—Terrific storms con- tinue throughout the peninsula, es- pecially in the South, where great damage has already resunlted.

Chicago, Aug. 25.—Postmaster Gen- eral Payne may possibly be hauled across the town here Friday afternoon willy-pilly, like one of his department’s mail bags. Justice Hurley sald during the day that if a showing was made to him that the postmaster general had, as re- ported, treated one of the court sub- poenas with scorn and refused serv- ice from Constable Stmon an attach- ment would be issued for the federal official’s arrest on the charge of con- tempt of court. Justice Hurley was In earnest. “I can do nothing,” he said, “until the case in which Mr. Payne is wanted as a witness comes up Friday, but if it is then shown that he has treated a summons and a constable of this court with disrespect I will order his arrest for contempt.” The Washington official is wanted in court in the suit instituted by S. G. Brabrook against Senator Chauncey M. Depew because of the senator’s sup- posed connection with a publishing company which figures in the Bra- brook case. Constable Simon met the postmaster general Tuesday and served a sum- mons, also giving the government offi- cial 50 cents court witness fee and 10 cents car fare. The postmaster gen- eral said that he would not appear in court and would ignore the summons. Constable Simon said: “I did all T could in the case at the time. The only course now is to get an attachment and lug the nostmaster general in force when the case comes up.” Justice Hurley gave the words of Constable Simon authoritative back- ing, intimating that if the postmaster general is in town Friday there will be a chance to see the dignity of a Chi- cago justice court vindicated. ELECTRIC CARS COLLIDE. Thirty-five People More or Less Serl- ously Injured. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 25.—A headon collision occurred- during the day on the Rochester and Eastern railroad near Pittsford. As far as can be learned thirty-five people were injured, some badly, but none fatally. Details of the accident are very mea- ger owing to the fact that the tele- phone lines of the railroad are down and communication is shut off. It is said that the conductor and motorman of the westbound car disobeyed orders and attempted to “steal” a switch with disastrous results. The collision hap- pened at a curve in the road while both cars were going at a high rate of speed. Falling glass and splinters were responsible for many of the wounds. The shock of the collision damaged the cars. REVOLT BREWING IN SPAIN. Arms for Six Thousand Men Found in an Orchard. Madrid, Aug. 25.—A sensation has been caused by the finding by the po- lice of 185 boxes of Mauser rifles, bay- onets, sabres and cartridges, sufficient to arm 6,000 men, which had been hid- den in the orchard of the republican, Juan Ramiroz, off Rens. All the arms and ammunition had been made in Germany. The Ramiroz family and two of his friends have been taken into custody. The police are informed that other large consignments of arms are en route to Spain and the strictest vigi- lance has been established to prevent their delivery. The officials of the gov- ernment are very uneasy over the dis- covery, as it indicates that the pacific protestations of the republicans were merely a cover for their plotting. LONG LIST OF INJURED. * Crowded Passenger Train Collides With a Freight. Joplin, Mo., Aug. 25.—The St. Louis and San Francisco passenger train, bound for St. Louls, collided with a westhound freight train near Sarcoxi early in the day Many persons were injured, but none, it is believed, fa- tally. *Every person on the passenger train was badly shaken up.
