TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 12—The Resistencia Cigar-makers’ TUnion, now on strike here, showed evidence of almost total collapse to-day. Two of its soup houses were | closed to-day because it could not buy food. One was on half rations all day. Delegates made overtures to the Inter- national Union to-day, it is said, but the latter union declined’ to consider them. After the deportations 2000 strikers regis- tered their desire to leave the city, and an agent was sent to Havana to secure a vessels. The boat was to have been here Saturday, but has not arived. An.indig- nation meeting is being held by the strik- ers to-night, on the suspicion that they have been deceived by new leaders. —_—— Offers Himself as a Subject.

President Shaffer has been urged to go West and personally inves- :iga(e the matter, but it is unlikely that he will be able to spare the time for the present. A radical element in the local lodges bitterly denounces the Western .| members and insists that there was something irregular about the matter. Others intimate that influences that would not bear investigation were used on the men. It is claimed that a canvass made a week ago showed a majority in favor of | striking, and that no reasonable explana- tion of the change of front has been made. President Shaffer refrains from any direct criticism of the action of the West- ern men, but it is known he deeply re- grets the loss of their support. He says that he will await official reports before acting, and that he can do nothing until #e returns from Wheeling. He is to be accompanied to Wheeling by Rev. Charles | H.

Angry Crowds of Tin Mill Workers Surround Imported Men. WARREN, Ohio, Aug. 12—The first vio- lence during the present steel workers’ strike in the Mahoning Valley occurred at Niles this afternoon when an angry crowd of tin mill men surrounded the Erfe train from Lisbon. But for the prompt action of the police five men would have been mobbed. Excitement runs high at Niles | and if an attempt is made to operate the | tin mill there serious trouble will result. CLEVELAND, Aug. I12.—Sixteen im- | ported men were successfully landed at the Crescent tin plate mills after 7 o’clock. A crowd of 500 strike sympathizers jeered the new comers, but other than the sar- casm expressed in words there was no untoward action. District Manager Bam- field of the American Tin Plate Company said to-night that four out of the six mills would be running in the morning and taat the entire plant would be in operation within a few days. The new comers marched into the mills in couples and were served with supper inside. They will also sleep inside the factory grounds. o S DYING PATIENT TELLS | THE STORY OF A MURDER Says the Body of the Victim Was Placed on a Railway Track to Hide the Crime, | MIDDLETOWN, O., Aug. 12.—The facts {in a shocking murder were just made known here to-day.

THE CONSIITUTION, = W) 77 szanmoc 71”9 == & 0 2] S EWPORT, R. I, Aug. 12.—The Constitution covered the triangu- lar course of thirty miles to-day in 33 seconds less time than the Columbia. The champion of '99, however, wins the race on time allowance by about thirty seconds. No corrected time can be given, as the boats have not vet been remeasured as requested. In { previous races the Constitution had al- | lowed the Columbia one minute and seventeen seconds. What change in meas- urement the new rig of the Constitution will necessitate is not known, but it is es- timated that she now allows the old boat only a few seconds less time, if any. The finish to-day was the noteworthy and only exciting feature of the contest. When within a mile of the line the Con- stitution made a short tack that undoubt- edly lost her the race. Both boats were coming in close hauled on the starboard tack, the Constitution fully two minutes in the lead. The light wind had headed them a bit and it was found that they could not fetch between the commitiee boat and the lightship. The Constitution was pointing fairly well and making good speet{’. with 2 number two jib*topsail. The Columbia, with a similar jib topsail, was also coming fast, directly astern and for the last forty minutes had been slowly creeping up. But the line was now near at hand, and, barring mistake, the Con- stitution looked a sure winner, well with- in the allowance. Not willi ing to leave well enough alone, however, Captaln Rhodes su denly put the Constitution about on the port tack, crossing the Co- lumbia’s bow and immediately tacked shaking in stays the Columbia, with a good full, still on the starboard tack, RUNS AGROUND IN A THICK FOG Steamer Strikes a Ledge While Heading for Boston Harbor. —_— BOSTON, Aug. 12—The Plant lne steamer Halifax, Captain Pye, from Char- lottestown, Port Hawkesbury and Hali- fax, N. §., struck a ledge off Minot's light while coming into port in a thick fog early to-day. She freed herself, however, and was beached in a sinking condition, Tugs and lighters went from here for pas- sengers and baggage. 3 The steamer left Halifax last Saturday night and was due here to-day. As it was near high tide and as the steamer floated without great difficulty it was thought she was not seriously damaged. It soon | appeared, however, that she was leaking. Accordingly, the captain- headed for Georges Island and beached her. Later in the day tugs reached here with again. 2 !Vvhfle the new boat's salls were twicd was bowling along at good speed, headed only a few hundred yards to the lee of the line. The short time that the Con- stitution was gathering headway after ths last tack the Columbia reached through her and went ahead, though still slightly in the lee of the new boat. It was an exciting moment and every eye was strained to watch what promised to be a finish full of sensation. Nor could the Constitution fetch the line. A quick change was made from the large jib topsail to the baby, and for a few minutes Captain Rhodes worked up on the weather quarter of the Columbia. Captain Barr could not come about, so both -boats overstood the mark, Captain Rhodes slowly coming down on_ his weather and thus regaining part of nis lost advantage. Suddenly the Constitu- tion put about and made for the line. ,The Columbia_followed at once, but the new boat having a better speed at the time was quicker in stays and was well away while the old ~bhoat was tacking. Sho luffed under the bow -of the committec boat exactly a minute ahead of the Co- lumbia. But she had started twenty-seven seconds ahead, and thus in actual time beat the old boat only thirty-three scc- onds.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12—The new Amer- ica's cup challenger Shamrock II lay at anchor off Sandy Hcok last night and to- passengers from the stranded steamer, in- cluding the famous scullers McGuire, Whitehead and Wray and members of thé Philadelphia cricket team. An officer of the vessel says'that the Halifax struck abogt 5 o’clock this morn- ing. By her own efforts the vessel floated as the tide rose. Her fore compartments were full of water and Captain Pye de- cided to beach the craft, which he did on Georges Island. The Halifax carried passengers and a cargo of miscellaneous freight. There was little or no excitement among the passengers. The steamer is in an easy position and is believed to be in little danger of fur- ther damage unless a northeastern storm should set in. ‘The Halifax is' a steel screw steamer, sailing under British registry. She is 204 feet long, 35 feet beam and 21.5 feet deep. Her tonnage is 98. She was built at Glas- &ow in- Elected President of the University.

She will be taken at once to Erie basin, where she will be stripped and her racing mast stepped. Her spars are ready and there will be no delay in getting her into racing trim. The challenger received a lively and enthusi- astic welcome from every craft in the harbor as she came up the bay in tow of the tug Robert Haddon. The skippers of the tugs loosed their whistles and the New York walled a salute with her siren. The Erin acknowledged the salute with three deep blasts. One glance was sufficlent to convince the experts that Watson had built a much handsomer boat than the old Shamrock. She looks the fastest boat ever turned out in British waters. One of Her beauties is Watson’s peculiar tilt of the counter. There is no flatness or tumble-home along the top sides, and her great overhang gives her the appearance of speed. She was painted green, like the Irish Knight's first challenger. Hardly had her anchor hit the bottom of a Tompkinsville bar before throngs ap- peared on the hill and the pierheads to study her lines with their glasses. Captain Hamilton, navigating officer of the Shamrock, stated to a Call corre- spondent that the yacht had been towed about two-thirds of the way from the Azores. Prevailing winds from the south- southeast gave them a fair wind all the way. They got into the tail end of an easterly gale August 4 and carried away two topsail sheets. That was the only mishap of the voyage. The total length of the voyage was 3769 miles and the actual running time 14 days 9 hours and 45 minutes. Captain Sycamore, who is to have abso- lute charge of the Shamrock II in the races, gave it as his opinion that the Co- lumbia’is a better boat than the Constitu- on. ‘“We know what the Columbla can do. We pretty nearly know what is expected from the Constitution. The latter has not yet beaten the time of the Columbia on an average of six minutes, and, speaking for myself, T do not hesitate to say that she must exceed that average throughout if she is to beat the new Shamrock.” Captain William Matthews, the mander of the Erin, said: ““We fear the Columbia more than we do the Constitution. The limit has been reached beyond any doubt, and few aboard believe that the Herreshoffs have succeeded in making any noticeable 1m- provement upon the Columbia. The Con- stitution will doubtless be selected to meet the Shamrock IT because really she has not had a fair test of her ability, and i8 likely to do better toward the end of the season. Every big racing yacht does better during her secand season, or to- ward the end of her first year. The Co- lumbia is at her best now. She will never again be as fast as she is now. It re- mains to be scen if the Constitution can Whip the Columbia repeatedly and con- sistently in all kinds of weather. Person- ally T doubt that she can.” com- \ L e T i e o 2 S O ROR ORISR AR ¥ DINAMITE BOMB IWRELKS SpLODN One Man Instantly Killed and Several Other People Injured.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12—The State De- partment has received a cablegram from Special Commissioner Rockhill at Peking reporting that the draft of the final pro- tocol has been agreed upon. ‘A tariff of 5 per cent ad valorem will be put in force two months after the signing of the final protocol excepting on goods shipped within ten days after signing, and will continue until the conversion to specific rates has besn effected by the expert commission. The Chinese free list will in- clude rice, foreign cereals and flour, gold and silver bullicn and coin. This inclu- sion of flour in the free list is of much importance, particularly to Pacific Coast 's advices that cereals and fl"“'l have been included in the free list of the new Chinese tariff is regarded as an im- portant provisicn owing to the growth of American exports of wheat and flour to China. In 1399 these amounted to $2,298,083, | which was almost double the shipments of the preceding year. The trade has con- tinued to increase and the Pacific Coast interests have looked forward to supply- ing China with a considerable part of her consumption of wheat and flour, most of | which heretofore has gone from Atlantic | ports around the Horn. Recently the com- | mercial organizations on the Pacific Coast forwarded representations to Washington showing that a 5 per cent effecfive tariff on flour would work considerable injufl'i to this trade. It appears mow from Rick- hill’s dispatch that the 5 per cent tariff on this article has been wiped out, and hereafter it will go to China free of duty. The American shipments of rice and the other articles mentioned are not very large, and the inclusion of rice on the free list is chiefly due to China's need of this staple food. Owing to the frequency of drouth and famine in China the local product of rice often has been curtailed, and it has been | necessary to meet the tremendous demand by allowing rice to come in free of duty l;{um Siam and other rice producing coun- tries. RECOGNIZE THE WORTH OF THE LEGATION GUARD Captain Hall and Men Under Him Commended for Heroic Services Peking. WASHINGTO! ug. 12.—Acting Secre- tary of the Navy Hackett to-day sent to Captain N. H. Hall, who commanded the legation guard at Peking during a part of the crisjs there, a letter of commenda- tion for the heroic services of those un- der his command during the siege. The department had previously sent a letter of commendation to Captain Myers, who was the senior officer in command, but gave way to Captain Hall on being wounded. A similar letter would have | been sent to Captain Hall, but at that time he was under charges made by offi- clals of the American Legation relative to his course during the siege. A court of inquiry, however, fully exonerated Captain Hall. The letter of commenda- tion is as follows: “The department desires to commend in the highest terms the legation guard un- der vour command on July 21 to August 7, 1900. During this period each member | of the guard behaved in the most credit- able manner under very trying circum- stances.

Remains Are Being Borne on a Special Funeral Train to Potsdam. CRONBERG, Aug. 12—By special com- mand of Emperor Willlam, the residents of Cronberg were admitted to the church prior to the removal of the body of the Dowager Empress Frederick. They moved in‘a long procession past the chancel to pay a last tribute to one who was identi- fled with so many good causes. Almost all had reason to remember personally her charities and kindness, and many wept. Many others uttered expressions of deep regret. Flowers continue to arrive in profusion, and the tokens include wreaths from the British-American Home for Governesses in Berlin. The body of the Dowager Empress was removed by torchlight to-night from the church to the railway station with a cere- ‘mony similar to that of Saturday. The cofin was borne from the church by twelve non-commissioned officers, the or- gan meanwhile playing. Following the coffin were the Crown nce and Princess of Greece, Prince and Princess Charles of Hesse and a number of court officials. A crowd of townspeople closed the proces- sion. The cortege was accompanied on either side by torchbearers and troops lined the whole route. The coffin was deposited on a car spe- cially prepared and draped for its recep- tion. This done, the drums sounded a muffled roll, the troops presented arms, and the funeral train started for Potsdam at 9:30 p. m. POTSDAM, Aug. 12.—King Edward and Queen Alexandra arrived here this even- ing and were met at Wild Park station by Emperor Willlam, the Empress and their eldest sons. Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia have also arrived. GOVERNOR DEPLORES CHEATING OF JUSTICE ‘Washington’s Executive Will Not In- terfere to Save Murderer Nordstrom. SEATTLE, Aug. 12.—A signed statement from Governor Rogers appears in the press to-day, as follows: OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 12, 1900.—Editor of the Times: A recent editorial item in your pa- per regarding the Nordstrom case causes me to say that under no circumstances will I in- terfere with the judgment of the courts in this case. As 1 view it. a crisis has arisen in State affairs, in which the question is raised whether murder is to be punished in Washing- ton or whether the law is to be made an instru- ment of jugglery for courts and lawyers, In England or Canada, whatever we may think of their forms of government, criminal law is enforced and lynching is practically un- known. In Whitman County of this State, according to Judge McDonald of that county, some thirty murders and lynchings altogether have taken place. with only one legal hanging, this lat- ter within the last three years. Other countles have records not particularly flattering to our ideas of justice. Only recently the Legislature was called in | extra session for the sole purpose of removing cbstacles which I was advised might allow cer- tain murderers to escape, and thus bring our administration of law into renewed contempt. This purpose having been effected. I shall certainly add no new complications. The judgment of the court will stand JOHN R. ROGERS.
