Oyster Bay, L. I, Aug. 9.—Francis B. Loomis, assistant secretary of state, was a guest of the president and Mrs. Roosevelt at luncheon. ‘An- other - guest at luncheon was Dr. Jacob H. Hollander of Baltimore, who was sent a few months ago by the president as a special commissioner Special Do- to Santo Domingo to:make an inves-/ tigation of the fiscal affairs of the island government. His purpose in coming here at this time was to talk nver with the president the results of his inquiries and observations. There is no likelihood that his report will be made public in the near future, as his investigations were made for the pur- pose of obtaining information for the president. Kills Wife and Suicides.

Paul, Aug. 9.—Suspension of all traffic operations, in a general strike of train operators, may result from conditions which have sprung into ex- istence from the telegraphers’ strike on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. Head officials of the telegraphers’ arganizati9n believe that such a gen- eral strike of railway men is in pros- pect and believe that, if it comes, the roads will immediately agree to terms asked by the telegraphers in prefer- ence o having a general tieup of their lines just when the fall crop is ready to move. The present arrangement of dispatching trains by telephone messages, compelling experienced trainmen to work on orders of ineffi- cient and inexperienced station agents and operators and like dangerous things now existing, are said to be the reasons for the dissatisfaction among trainmen. Despite the above statement of the strike leader the officials of the roads insist that the situation is satisfac- tory. General Manager Horn of the Northern Pacific declares traffic zon- ditions on his road are about normal. It is reported that the strike has thus far cost the railroads $1,000,000. This is in reduced earnings, as, from a freight point of view, the movement has been comparatively small since the inauguration of the strike. SAY STRIKE Every Office on Coast Divisions Said to Be Open. Seattle, Wash., Aug. 9.—According to Superintendent Wymouth of the Seattle division of the Northern Pa- cific road and Superintendent Scott of the Cascade division of the Great Northern railway the telegraphers’ strike is practically over. The former states that every cffice on the Seattle division of the Northern Pacific is now open and that the company has all the operators it wants. Superintendent Scott, whose head- quarters are at Everett, states that every station north of Everett, ex- cept Lockport, is supplied with an op- erator. He says that trains are mov- ing on time and that there are no delays in the arrival of freights on his division. IS OVER. HAD BEEN GRANTED NEW TRIAL. Texas Mob Lynches Prisoner Con- victed of Criminal Assault. Waco, Tex:, Aug. 9—A mob num- bering 600 early in the day surround- {ed the courthouse and jail and afters making prisoners of Sheriff Tilley, the and, after hearing his confession, hung him from the new bridge.

IMMENSE CROWDS OF PEOPLE OUT FOREIGN ENVOYS CONTINUALLY CHEERED WHILE PASSING THROUGH STREETS. rtsmouth, N. H.,, Aug. 9.—The Jdpanese and Russian peace envoys were given a warm welcome here dur- ing the day by the federal and state authorities and by thousands of resi- dents of this city and vicinity. Tha envoys landed about 11 a. m. and were at once escorted to the navy- vard, where luncheon was' served by the commanding officer. At its con- clusion the start for Portsmouth was made. A band of marines escorted the distinguished party to the navy- yard gate leading to Portsmouth. At the navyyard limits the marine escort was withdrawn and the mile and a quarter to Portsmouth was covered speedily in automobiles without mili- tary guard. At the Portsmouth end of the bridge was drawn up the escort regiment .of the New Hampshire na- tional guard, commanded by Colonel Tetley. The regiment got under way without delay and, headed by the First Regiment band of the state, took up the line of march through Market street to-the town square, then down Congress, Middle and State streets to the county courthouse, where Gov- ernor McLane and his staff were wait- ing to extend the greetings of the state and where Mr. Peirce, as repre- sentative of the nation, welcomed the enyoys. The exercises in the courthouse were over in twenty minutes and the envoys again took their places in their automobiles and -were driven to the ‘Wentworth hotel and assigned to their respective quarters. The passing of the envoys from the bridge to the courthouse and thence to New ‘Castle was observed by crowds, who showed great enthusiasm, cheering repeatedly the distinguished foreigners. The plenipotentiaries rode in open barouches and so frequently had they to acknowledge the cheering of the people that their heads were uncovered most of the time. Japs at Port Imperator. Tokio, Aug. 9—The navy departs ment announces that a force of Japa~ nese ‘landed at Port Imperator, 150 miles south of Kastri bay, Siberia, and captured the lighthouse keeper, but released him and allowed him to continue his duty. The Ilighthouse guard fled inland without making any —~~tamnoa.” SECRET SERVICE MEN ON BOARD. Treatment of Steerage Passengers Un- der Investigation. New York, Aug. 9.—Through the arrest of Captain Romaldo de Para- vich of an Austrian line steamship, charged with bringing over €60 steer- age passengers for whom there were not regulation accommodations, it has developed that ten secret service men are traveling for a time in the steer- age of incoming steamers. Captain Paravich was held in cash bail before a United States commissioner. It appears that the secret service agents have been going on board abroad and eating the food served to the steerage passengers, sleeping in the quarters provided for them and sharing their lot in all ways until they are discharged on Ellis island. The inspection is being made under orders of Nevada N. Stranahan, collector of the port of New York. SUICIDE HOLDS UP CAR. Stops Vehicle on Brooklyn Bridge and Leaps Into River. New York, Aug. 9.—Pointing a re- volver at the head of the motorman on a trolley car bound for Brooklyn a well dressed young man compelled him to bring the car to a stop in the middle of the Brooklyn bfidge. Then he stepped to the roadway, hurried to the railing and dropped into the river, death penalty, but had been granted & | 135 feet below.

Dubugque, Ia., Aug. 9.—A local con- cern has been awarded the contract to supply the brick that will be used to pave the streets of Panama and Colon. The government is making big improvements in those cities and an idea of the contract may be obtained from the fact that the freight bill for shipping the brick from Dubuque to the isthmus will amount to $45,000. PROSECUTIONS DROPPED. Scientists = Charged With Manslaughter. ‘White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 9.—A de- cision of County Judge Platt of inter- est to Christian Scientists all over the country has been filed in the West- chester county clerk’s office. ‘The court sustains the demurrer of John Quinby, his wife, Georgiana Quinby, of White Plains, and Dr. John C. Lathrop of Manhattan, all Christian Scientists, to the indictments against them for manslaughter in the second degree. The decision dismisses the case and no further prosecution will follow. The charge against Mr. and Mrs. Quinby and Dr. Lathrop was that they allowed Esther Quinby, a young daughter of the Quinbys, to gie from diphtheria without calling a physician and, apstead, “laid on hands and prayed’ RIOTING Christian IN NEW YORK. Police Compelled to Use Their Their Clubs Pretty Freely. New York, Aug. 9.—Rioting among the striking Hebrew bakers on the lower East Side throughout the day kept the police busy and compelled them to use their clubs freely. Most of the collisions between the police and the strikers grew out of efforts on the part of the latter to induce nonunion men to join them. No per- sons were seriously hurt and there were but few arrests. It is estimated that upwards of 1,000 men are on strike in Manhattan and the leaders express their intention of closing every “kosher” bakery in the borough and extending, the strike to the He- brew quarters of Brooklyn. 0 Three Killed by Lightning.

DEATH LIST MAY EXCEED TWENTY LARGE NUMBER OF FIREMEN AND LABORERS ENGAGED IN WORK OF RESCUE. i = S J_’ Albany, N. Y., Aug. 9.—More than & hundred persons, a large majority of them girls, were buried beneath a mass of brick; wood and plaster when the central portion of the largq- partment store of the John G- erl eompany collapsed from roof to cel lar. The wrecked portion includes nearly ome-half of the store. Scores of rescuers toiling among the ruins for six hours brought out only twenty-five injured. Three of these died after reaching the hose pitals. At that time 110 were unag- counted for.and it is certain that at least half of those are still beneath ke mound of debris. About 400 per- sons are on the firm’s payroll, but some fifty of these are on their vacar tions. Up to 2 o’clock the only identified dead was Miss Bertha Cunningham. The number of deaths is now gener- ally estimated ot from twenty to thirty. The building was an old one, but rbout twenty years ago received & new froni, which gave it a moderm appearance. Extensive repairs were under way on the interior when the collapse occurred. Robert M. Chalmers, a member of the firm, was caught on one of the apper foors and went down with the debris. He was dug out from beneath 2 mass of plaster, beams and brokem timbers. His right leg was broken and he was badly bruised. Building Undergoing Repairs. The catastrophe, which is the worst of its kind in the city’s history,gcs curred shortly before 9 o’clock. The Myers estate had been making. extews 'sive repairs; on us:;)buflding. During the morning a gahg of Italian work< men started to remove an iron pillar that supported the main floor. Evi- dently they had failed to brace the floor properly, for scarcely had they loosened the post when down came all three upper floors within a radius of Afty feet from the fatal pillar. The wreck crashed through to the cellar, burying the workmen and -carrying down those who happened to be works ing in that portion of the building. The work of rescue was soon begun, Firemen and laborers worked with clerks and business and professional men who had heard the crash on their way to their offices. Every contractor who had men employed in the city suspended work and offered assist- ance and within an 'hour after the building fell laborers were arriving by the wagonload. In the rear of the store on James street a score of employes were found imprisoned in the cellar, where they had been thrown from the floors above. Most of them were conscious and several directed the work of res« cue. Thus far only one person has been taken out of the ruins who is not an employe. This is Mrs. Richard O. Bassett, wife of a well known attor« ney. Her injuries are serious. Her busband, whose office is pear the store, had been working among the rescuers for an hour when she was PICNIC BOAT GBES DOWN. Steamer. Carrying Many Passengers 8inks in Shallow Water. Indianapolis,. Aug. - 9—At Broad Ripple Park, ten miles from this city, the excursion steamer Sunshine sank with 180 passengers on board. Omne man was drowned and several were injured in the panic. .” The boat plied on the backwater of Broad Ripple dam on White river and was carrying a picnic party consisting of employes of the Indianapolis stock yards. The overweight of the boat caused it to turn over on its side and the superstructure broke from the hull. The water ig fourteen feet im depth in the channel, but the boat was near the bank when the accident occurred and in but seven feet of water. The upper deck remained above the water. Many of the people climbed to the gecond floor of the boat when she be- gan to sink and thus saved them- Belves. Others swam ashore. Ten'Pefsons Hurt in Wreck.
