The Herald--Review, By E. C. KILEY. MINNESOTA. GRAND RAPIDS, - Let us hope Mr. Wu may be able to spend his vacations in the United States. Did any woman ever speak of her husband’s pipe witnout prefixing the words “that old”? Europe is again discussing disarma- ment. But the Krupp gun works are running right along. The old feeling against foreigners is said to be rising again In China. Does anybody wonder? The new Anglo-American club of London has not yet been absorbed by any of Mr. Morgan’s mergers. Mount Pelee must be trying to sus- tain itself on a diet of roasting ears, watermelons and green peaches. The new sultan of Zanzibar has one excellent qualification for the place. He is a ferocious football player. The Santo Stefano tower in Venice is threatening to tumble. It seems to be high time for Venice to brace up. Gout is said to be on the increase in America. This is one trouble the common people do not have to worry over. King Alfonso wants to have it dis- tinctly understood that some of the children are going to be heard as well as seen. Uncle Russell Sage denies that he was trying to steal a ride when he was dragged fifteen feet by a car the other day. If a fathers’ congress should ever convene probably the proceedings would be limited to a motion for an adjournment, eerraih ] a eae See get wa They all say that Mackay, the bo- nanza king, was a “genuine Ameri- can.” Is it because he had so much wealth that he could not count it? In presenting a claim against the estate of Lord Francis Hope for $40,- 000 May Yohe has demonstrated that she in no pressing need of a nerve tonic. The fact that Australia alone of the six continents was not visited by earthquakes this year will not cause an overwhelming rush for the Anti- podes. e Secretary Wilson, who is trying to encourage Americans to cultivate silk worms, evidently does not know that the tling petticoat fashion has pass d.

Kitchener should desire no reater honor than to be referred to countrymen as “the gentleman in khaki.” It beats any of the garters or rosettes. London bridge still stands, in spite of the children’s doggerel, but the latest dispatches seem to show that a good part of Venice is in danger of falling down. The scientist who deciares that the skull dug up near Lansing, Kan., is 35,000 years old appear to have a grudge against poor Adam’s reputa- tion for previousness. The Missouri man who admitted in court that he had spent $70,000 on liquor during the past seven years ought to be a good judge of such stim- ulants, if of nothing else. While lovely woman is supposed to go almost any length in her beauty doctoring, not many of them can make the decision to talk less because wrinkles are caused by too much talk- ing. The single man should not forget to put an engagement ring in his pocket before starting on his vacation. He may not have occasion to use it, yet it is better to have one handy in case of emergency. ra ee es For improving the Mississippi river $43,572,693 has been spent in the past twenty years. Farmers with sub- merged lands adjoining that interest- ing stream are wondering what was done with the money. It was to be expected that the mil- lionaire laborer who wore his working clothes when he went in search of a wife would find a girl with imagina- tion enough to guess how he would look in a dress suit or golfing togs. The English papers are saying that wherever golf goes there is an in- creased demand for Scotch whisky. Let us hope, since the championship has been won by an American boy that home-made goods may now sup- plant the Scotch product. Join Bull promises to wake the Boers so Kappy under his rule that they will be ashamed ot themselves for not having begged him to take hold at the beginning. It is to be hoped that Jobn isn’t merely talking ém order to hear the applause. ’ KILLED IN WRECK PENNSYLVANIA TRAIN CRASHED INTO FROM REAR BY A SPECIAL.

BURNED IN TENEMENT. New York Fire Trap Burns and Sev- eral Lives Are Lost. New York, Aug. 20.—In a tenement house fire at 35 Essex street yesterday two women and three children were burned severely about the body and face and a man had three ribs broken by jumping from a window to the pavement. The bodies of the dead wo- men were turned beyond recognition. ‘The injur2d woman is Mrs. Rosa Moses, and the name of the man who jumped is Jacob Moscovitz. A woman named Mrs. Hannah Balothin could not be found after the fire, and it was believed that one of the burned bodies found was her's.

Schwab, president of the United States Steel corporation, arrived here last evening. He was accompanied by his brother Joseph Schwab and his pri- vate secretary. He stepped briskly from the car, and as he did so he said to a number of newspaper men present: “Now, gentlemen, I am going to tell you three things, and I don’t want you to ask mé any further questions. In the first place I don’t look like a sick man. In the second place, I feel the necessity of a rest and I am going to take one. In the third place I am not going to resign and have no intention of retiring from the presidency of the United States Steel corporation.” “Are you going to Europe?” he was asked. “Yes,” he replied, “but don’t ask me any more questions; that’s all I have to say.” PETER POWER IN JAIL. Vanishing Plaintiff Surrenders Him- self in New York. New York, Aug. 20.—Peter Power, the} ‘vanishing plaintiff” whose suit against the Northern Pacific has thrown much light on the methods employed by the organizers of “strike” and “hold-up” vtigation, yesterday came here from Montreal, accompanied by George Al- fred Lamb, his attorney, and surren- dered himself to the custody of Mar- shal Henkel. The latter promptly led him off to the dungeons of Ludlow street. All day long Lamb sought to restore his ciient! to freedom, but his efforts were fruitless, and nightfall found the fnhappy Power still behind the prison bars. There, too, he is like- ly to stay for the next thirty days, un- léss his diligent lawyer can induce Judge Lacombe to relent. CAR JUMPS THE TRACK. Eight Passengers Are Injured, Two of Them Fatally. New York, Aug. 20. — Eight persons were seriously injured, two of them at least fatally, and a dozen others severe- ly, last night when one of the heavy cren street cars of the Union Railway line of the Bronx left the track on Je- rome Park avenue near the crossing of Mosholu Parkway and turned complete- ly over in a ditch. Going down a steep tricline, at the rate of thirty miles an hour, the car suddenly shot from the tracks. Everybody was hurled from the seats. The car seemed to leap en- tirely off the tracks and into the air. To the right of the track is a deep road- way, and into this the big car plunged. JUST A HINT TO TURKEY. State Department Admits Relations Are Unsatisfactory. Washington, Aug. 20.—It is admitted at the state department that there is a renewal of tension between the United States and Turkey, but the officials do not deem it prudent to disclose the present condition of affairs. They sa¥, however that the condition is in no way grave, but is of that strained character which has occurred from time to time with Turkey in recent years. It is gathered that the present ten- sion grows out of the long pending claims of Americans who suffered loss during the Armenian outbreak. To some extent the Stone abduction gave added cause for irritation. Delays Farm Work.

It is* believed that this action of the general’s is the result of the serious developments in the troubles with the Moros in Mindanao. There have been no further develop- ments in the Moro situation on the Island of Mindanao. Gen. Chaffee was expected to reach Cebu on the trans- fort Ingalls yesterday morning, but the vessel’s arrival at that port has not yet been reported. An order received from the war department at Washington leaving action in the Moro situation to. Gen. Chaffee’s discretion has been transmitted to him in the south. It is believed Gen, Chaffee will increase the American forces in Mindonao and issue an ultimatum to the hostile Moros. . There are at present 27,000 American troops in the Philippine islands, a good- ly portion of which could be spared for active service. Capt. John J. Pershing of the Fif- teenth cavalry, who is in command of the American column at Lake Lanao, Mindanao, has reported a fierce Moro intertribal fight near Camp Vickers. The contending factions met at Web- ding. Forty-five men were killed out- right and many were injured. No Americans were concerned in the trouble, OOM PAUL TO ABDICATE.

He added that he and his colleagues would soon publish an account of the war. The generals visited Mr. Steyn, who is still ill, and will go to Utrecht to see Mr. Kruger to- day. ches 2 He ucts LE BOMBARDED WITH EGGS. Smoking Tugs in Chicago River Are Compelled to Move Away. Chicago, Aug. 20.—A fusilade of de- ceyed eggs and vegetables thrown by South Water street commission men at a fleet of smoke-belching tugs tied up near the Dearborn street bridge early lest night made the boats look like gurbage scows, and at last caused the river captains to hoist a flag of truce. ‘The white rag told the merchants that the bombardment had won against the smoke nuisance, and later the boats re- treated down stream. SWEPT TIMBER. FIRE Mining Plants Destroyed, Bridges Burned and Country Laid Waste.

Chaffee stating that in his judgment an active campaign against the Moros in Mindanao was necessary in order to curb the opposition that has been grow- ing against United States authority. The dispatch was considered of suffic- ient importance to be repeated to Pres- ident Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. Gen. Chaffee has been directed to use his own discretion in the matter and will no doubt engage in an aggressive movement against the insurgent Moros. Some time before Secretary Root left Washington the Moro situation was under discussion and it was the impres- sion that they must be dealt with se- verely. Gen, Chaffee is now at Mindanao, having left Manila some days ago. If the campaign should continue for some time he no doubt will remain in the Philippines instead of leaving on Sept. 30, as he had planned. It is under- stood at the war department that Chaf- fee has sufficient troops to make an active campaign. Moros Are at It Again. Manila, Aug. 20.—The Moros in Min- danao are renewitg their attacks upon the outposts and pack trains, of the American column at Lake Lanao, which is under the command of Capt. J. J. Pershing of the Fifteenth cavalry. The Americans have successfully repulsed the Moro attacks and have suffered no Icsses. The commanders of the American ferces on Mindanao report aggressive action against the Moros to be neces- sary and ask permission to move against Bacalod and other strongholds of the hostile Mohammedans. Fight With Ladrones. Manila, Aug. 20. — A force of native ecnstabulary engaged a band of la- drones in a sharp fight last Saturday near Caloocan, about four miles north of Manila. The arrival of reinforce- n.ents for the constabulary won them the victory. Four members of the con- stabulary were killed and one was wounded. The ladrones left three of their number killed but carried off their wounded. “The chase of the Cavite ladrones through the nountains of that province continues.

Towler, his adjutant general, left Washington yesterday afternoon for their homes in Minneapolis. Gen. Torrance does not expect to return un- til a few days before Oct. 15. FOUGHT TWO BEARS. With Only a Knife Guide Dispatches Both Animals. Rifle, Colo., Aug. 20.—W. E. Tribble is the hero of a desperate hand-to-hand encounter with two bears, and that he escaped with his life was due in part to the visit of President Roosevelt to that part of the country two years ago. Mr. Roosevelt showed the old guide just how to give the coup de grace to a bear with the knife. Tribble, while in the mountains, was surprised by a grizzly and succeeded in dispatching him a la Roosevelt. When confronted by an- other big bear he dispatched it in a like manner. Tribble was covered with wounds, but managed to crawl to his horse and ride to camp, where he ce- cured medical attention. SWEDEN IS COMING OVER. The Rush of Scandinavian Emi- grants Swamps the Liners. Washington, Aug. 20.—The good ship Nordland, from Liverpool and Queens- tewn, arrived at Philadelphia yester- czy, every inch of passenger space on both decks taken. Practically all of the passengers are Scandinavians bound for the Northwest. The passen- gers say the transport lines running direct to America are experiencing the greatest rush of emigrants since the early eighties. Every outgoing vessel, American or English, is crowded. The total number of Scandinavian emi- grants that !anded in the United States curing the nine months ending March, 1902, was 22,003, 15,601 of whom came from Sweden, BALL BEARINGS FOR CARS. Device Which May Revolutionize Freight-Carrying Business. Chicago, Aug. 20. -- Experiments are teing conducted by the Illinois Central with a device that may revolutionize the. freight carrying business. The ex- periments are being made with a box car, the trucks of which are fitted with ball-bearing journals, which make the car ryn so easily that a single person ean move it? This feat was easily ac-- complished yesterday by many persons who were examining the car as it stood in the yards. If practicable, train loads can easily be doubled and hauled with the same power now used. This would mean a great economy in operation, DEAD IN LONELY CABIN. Hermit Dies of Starva Although .

A STRIKER KILLED SCRIOUS CLASH BETWEEN STRIK- ING MINERS AND DEPU- TIES, CAUSES. GREAT EXCITEMENT COOLER HEADS PREVAIL AND PRE- VENT MORE SERIOUS TROUBLE. WARNKE WASHERY WILL START OWNER NOTIFIES SHERIFF AND DEMANDS PROTECTION FOR WORKMEN. Nesquehening, Pa., Aug. 20. — In a clash between striking mineworkers aud deputies here last night Patrick Sharp, a striker of Lansford was shot and killed almost instantly by a deputy. The shooting caused considerable ex- citement for a time but order was soon restored without any other persons be- ing injured and the town is now quiet. A deputy named Harry McElmoyle was arrested, charged with the killing of Sharp and was taken to the county jail at Mauch Chunk. The shooting occurred shortly after 6 o'clock. Five deputies were on their way to Shaft No. 1 of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company, just outside of the town. In the center of the town they were met by a number of strikers who began persuading them not to £0 to the colliery. The officers did not stop, but kept on their way and tried to Prevent Any Trouble, The strikers, it is said, then began to abuse the men, and followed them near- ly to, the colliery., There are conflict- ing stories as to what actually brought on the clash, but just before the depu- ties entered the place a shot was heard and Sharp dropped to the ground. The bullet entered his body close to his heart and he died almost instantly. Witnesses say that the shooting was done by McElmoyle, and that he stood only six or seven feet from Sharp when he fired his revolver. Only one shot was fired. The deputies immediately withdrew to the colliery and a large crowd gath- ered about the place. When it was learned that Sharp was dead there was the greatest indignation among the strikers and other townspeople, and for a time it looked as though serious trouble would follow. Cooler heads among the mineworkers, however, pre- vailed upon the crowd to disperse, us- ing the argument that if there is any bloodshed troops will surely be sent here from Shenandoah. Shenandoah, Aug. 20. — Gen. Gobin was closeted last night with ‘Train- master Keffer of the Philadelphia & Reading railway at military headquar- ters here relative to the removal of troops to the scene of disturbance at Nesquehoning. Will Ask for Troops. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 20.—The hear- ing in the habeas corpus proceedings in the case of the guards and workmen employed at the Warnke washery at Duryea who were arrested last Thurs- day by the authorities of the town charged with inciting a riot and feloni- cus wounding came up before Judge Halsey in court yesterday. After hear- ing the evidence Judge Halsey dis- charged all the defendants except three —Kinney, Reynolds and Madden. They were held in $200 bail each for trial at court. Frederick Warnke, the owner of the washery where the riot occurred, says the acquittal of the deputies will justify him in starting up the washery again, and he has served notice on Sheriff Ja- cobs that if he does not provide ample protection for his workmen and proper- ty on Wednesday he will make an ap- peal to the governor for troops. The beginning of the fifteenth week of the strike shows no apparent change in the situation. It was thought that the Lehigh Valley company would start their Maltby colliery yesterday and early in the morning a number of strik- ers gathered in the vicinity of the mine but no effort was made to resume work, RESPENDENT WITH DIAMONDS. Shah of Persia and His Suite Drive to Marlborough House. London, Aug. 20.—The shah of Persia, Muzaffar-ed-din, and his suite, who ar- rived at Dover Sunday, reached London yesterday and took up their residences at Marlborough house ‘as guests of King Edward. In accordance with the Persian monarch’s express wish, the train from Dover only traveled twenty miles an hour. He, therefore had plenty of time to array himself in full uniform, and when he left the train at Victoria station he was resplendent in a blaze of. diamonds. The prince of Wales, Lord Lansdowne, the foreign minister; Lord Roberts, the commander- in-chief, and the members of the Per- sian legation and others met the royal traveler at the station. The prince of ‘Wales and the shah shook hands, and the visitor was introduced to the prom- inent persons present. The prince of ‘Wales subsequently conducted the shah to a royal carriage and they drove off, escorted by a detachment of Life Guards and followed by other carriages. The route to Mar}borough house was lined with troops. The weather was miserable, so the sightseers were not numerous. | ALL WERE KILLED. Voleanic Eruption Overwhelms a Japanese Island. Yokohama, Aug. 20.—The little island of Torishima was overwhelmed by a volcanic eruption between Aug. 10 and 15, and all of the inhabitants, number- ing 150 persons, were undoubtedly killed. ‘The island is covered with vol- cenic debris and all the houses on it
