FRENCH PROTEST IS INEFFECTIVE TURKISH TROOPS OCCUPY DIS- PUTED TERRITORY AND RE- FUSE TO RETIRE. Paris, Aug. 6.—Strained relations have arisen between France and Tur- ey over the frontier of Tripoli ad- ,acent to the French Sahara. Tu troops recentiy occupied the di: territory on the ground of Tu: wuzerainty over Tripoli. F protest was ineffective, the ambassador here receiving instructions to maintain the Turkish claims. The oMcials here do not expect the affair to assume serious dimensions, although the attitude of both sides momentarily is very firm. Turkey activity is interpreted as being i, ther evidence of Mussulmar . :pos tion to European prepeiderauce in North Afj ™ A Lullaby.

RAILROAD MEN SUMMONED. Their Testimony Wanted in Standard 0il Investigation. Chicago, Aug. 6.—Henry C. Barlow, former president of the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad, has been sum- moned to appear before the grand jury which will investigate the Stand- ard Oll company’s relations with vari- ous railroads centerlng in Chicago. Among other rallroad men summoned were: F. P. Austin, acting auditor of the Evansville and Terre Haute rail- road, and John J. Duck, assistant au- ditor of the Chicago and Eastern Illi- nois railrond. For nine years Mr. Barlow was president of the Kvans- ville and Terre Haute railroad, which road, it is claimed, is largely cun- trolled by Standard Oil interests. He was also traflic manager of the Wis- consin Central railroad, which, it is said, is practically owned by the Stand- ard Oil company. Mr. Barlow's knowl- edge of the transportation of ofl by at ieast the two roads mentioned, it is believed, will be of great value to the government in the forthcoming inves- tigation. FOUND CONDITIONS GOOD. Secretary Wilson Returns From In- spection Trip. ‘Washington, Aug. 6.—Secretary Wil- son has returned from visits to Phila- ddlphia, Jersey City and New York, where he inspected slaughtering and packinghouses. The trip was planned 50 as to give the packers no hint as to his"coming. “On the whole,” said the secretary, “conditions in the packinghouses In the three cities named were good. It was apparent that efiorts were being made to comply with the law. In only a few instances did I find it necessary to make suggestions with respect to remedying evils which existed, such as the rearrangements of toiletrooms, tearing up floors and putting down new ones and general ventilation.” The trip just ended is but one of a number which the secretary will make, In every case he will so far as possi- ble keep his movements secret. —— Bargains in Pants In order to close out the balance of our stock of Men’s pants we will make a great reduction in our prices.

ONE HUNORED ARE WOUNDED EIGHT HUNDRED QUT | WORKMEN BLOWN T0 PIEGES TROOPS ATTACK PROCESSION OF WORKMEN WHO REFUSED TO DISPERSE. " Uzovka, Russia, Aug. 6.—The situa- tion here is very serious. At Donetz, the center of the mining and smelting industry, a procession of over 6,000 strikers marched, singing the “Mar- seillaise,” to the residence of Gov- ernor General Hartung and demanded the release of the orators arrested at the previous night's meeting. Many of these in the procession carried clubs, The governor general refused to release the prisoners and when the processionists declined to obey a sum- mons to disperse a detachment of dra- goons swept down on-them with sa- bers and whips, wounding about 100 persons, some of them seriously. ‘Wholesale arrests were made, includ- ing the leaders of the strikers. More than 23,000 miners are now on strike and 1,000 of them have organ- ized themselves into a military body. They are armed with rifles. The governor general has issued a proclamation announcing that- at- tempts to destroy the mines would be severely punished and promising mili- tary protection to those willing to work. RESURRECTION OF PAPA 1si0. Famous Filipino Insurrecto Reported Still Alive. ‘Washington, Aug. 6.—Papa Isio, the bandit and religious fanatic who caused so much trouble in Occidental Negros, is the latest clalmant for pos- thumous existence. Reports have reached Washington that the much feared insurrecto is still alive and has twelve followers who are assisting him in preparing for further revolutionary movements. Army officers do not credit rumors of Papa Isio’s actlvity and say he was unquestionably killed. At the time of the famous bandit's death his head ‘was reported to have been put in brine for identification. The resurrection of Papa Isio adds another to the long list of revolution- ists who are credited with many lives. Fagan, Felizardo and Datto Ali are the best known of the other leaders who are constantly being'réported as alive in spite of scores of afidavits showing when they were killed. BECAUSE OF PACKING MUDDLE.| Nelson Morris Hesitates to Offer Gift to Harvard. London, Aug. 6.—Nelson Morris re- cently told a London friend that he had purchased the John Harvard home at Stratford-on-Avon with the full in- tention of presenting it to Harvard university. He hesitated, however, to tender the gift on account of the jugze that had lately been aroused against the American meat packers. He seemed to think that for the pres- ent he could not-gracefuly carry out his intention. While speaking of the canned meat scandal Mr. Morris stated that his firm had already suffered a net loss of $2,000,000 in its foreign trade on ac- count of the outery raised against the products of the Chicago packing- houses.

Petersburg, Aug. 6.—The num- ber of strikers In St. Petersburg is now offioially estimated at 66,155. Superior, Wis., Aug. 6,—Police have been requested to go to Itasca and the East End to control the striking dock laborers, who-have quit work to enforce a demand for higher wages. Every coal dock in Superior is claimed by the strikers to be tied up tight. The strike has spread to the East End and to Itasca and at least 800 men are idle and the handling of coal is great- ly retarded at the Head of the Lakes. The Duluth coal docks, which are fow in number, are not affected by the strike. St. Petersburg, Aug. 6.—Probably not more .than 80,000 workmen were out when the general strike offictally went into force at noon. The final decision to call a strike was so hastily taken and the police since then have been so busy putting the ringleaders . behind the bars that great confusion prevails among the various organiza- = tons, which were scheduled to begin striking at different places and at dif- terent times. Therefore the inaugura- Hon of the strike lacks snap and it is ovident that its success will depend upon the temper of the masses. The leaders have been more or less de- moralized by the energy displayed by the govesnment in breaking up the workmen’s organizations and unless the people spontaneously respond to the call the strike must end in early L fatlure. All eyes are turned on Mosoow and the provinces. St. Petersburg, the government’s stronghold, is expected to be the last to succumb to the state of anarchy into which the revolution- ts have undertaken to plunge the A large crowd |country.
