2 STRIKERS ASKED TO MAKE NEW STATEMENT OF TERMS Retail Merchants Decide That Unless the Employers’ Association Agrees to Con- ference Their Custom Will Be Withheld HATEVER the mediators may have in the way of encour- agement that negotiations be- tween employers and the strikers will be opened early the week is still kept wrapped in tery. No conference was held vester- , and there are no appointments for conferences to-Gay. Naph Greensfelder and Joseph Jordan of the Municipal League conciliation com- mittee appeared before the executive com- mittee of the City Front Federation in the afternoon with & request that another statement of terms of peace be submitted o the committee, to be submitted by it in turn to the Employers’ Assoclation. The, were given no encouragement, thoug! their request was taken under advisement and an answer will probably be given to- day. The labor leaders are much incensed over the alleged repeated efforts of the draymen to secure defections among the teamsters. Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the Sailors’ Union, sald vesferday that they were glad to know that these efforts m not been attended by success. He “We have information that an immense pressure is being brought to bear upon the individual teamsters to return to work, as high as §7 a day being offered end assurances of practically life jobs. They are sent for and interviewed and urged in every way to go to work as in- dividuals, and the draymen are seeking to make them believe that as far as the teamsters are concerned the fight is over end they had better get in and get their places while they can. That kind of inter- views and efforts are always reported to us immediately. The draymen and em- ployers seem to think that this is a mat- ter of the teamsters. We do not so con- eider it. It is a question of unionism, and the teamsters are not the all-important feature, though a very important one.” RAID FOR REVOLVERS. Btore Is Entered and Other Articles | Not Disturbed. The large plate glass window in the second-hand store of 8. Spink, 1145 Market street, was broken in two places early yesterday morning and elght revolvers | were stolen. There were a lot of other articles of value displayed in the window, but none were touched. The police were | notified, and they express the belief that the revolvers were stolen with the object of being used in connection with the strike. Joshua Garzoli, a teamster for J. C.

He was ta to the Receiving Horpital and after his cuts and brulses had been attended to he was booked at the City Prison on a charge of “drunk.” Herman Diercks, provrietor of the Young America salo on East street, was brutally beaten a crowd of men claiming to be union men early Saturday morning. He had closed up his place and was waiting for the last car when sev- eral men approached him. They demand- ed that he show 2 union card, and refused 10 believe him when %e told them that he was not a laboring man, but a saloon- keeper.

The interest man- ifested in the meeting was intense, and many addresses were made. A threat of boycott of members of the Employers’ Assoclation was the chief result of the meeting. Chairman W. J. Kenney in calling the assemblage to order explained the purpose of the meeting. He sald business talks | by business men were wanted. It was | the hope of all retail merchants that the strike would be ended soon. | 3. 8. Barry of the Cigar' Dealers’ Asso- | ciation precipitated a warm debate by de- | manding the exclusion of all persons not identified with the retail business in this city. Several speakers were opposed to | this course as being against sound policy, and an amendment that all persons be allowed to remain but none save retail- ers be granted the privilege of the floor was carried. ; John F.

Barrington, a druggist, stated that the s!rikeg was doingggncalculable damage to the local drug trade. of drug associations in Eastern cit and of the successful work accomplished | by them. He believed that the organiza- | tion of business people was necessary in | order to insure the success of individual members. In this way their influence must be felt in the settlement of strikes. Employers Must Agree to Confer. Mr. Barrington later took the floor again with the statement that the Em- ployers’ Association, through its spokes- | man, Attorney Michael, absolutely re- | | fused to consider mediation of any sort. | | | | This being an_alarming condition, In his opimon, he offered the following reselu- tion, which was adopted amid loud ap- plause: | Whereas, | tton, in belicve, have com The so-called Employers’ Associa- the main composed, as we are led to | wholesale merchants of this city, ned together for the purpose of de- | sm and thus prevent the working srgalmnx collectively with their pursuit of this aim they have that ie, they have refused to sh material to any employer | 3 ted to employ union men only; | an Whereas, Such use of the industrial power | placed in ‘their hands can have but one pur- | Post, that of reducing wages and lengthening | the hours of labor and thus reimburse them- | selves for their losses: and Whereas, Such lowering of wages and length- ening of the hours of labor reduces the stand- | ard of living and thereby cripples the retail trade, reduces the price of real estate and in- | creases taxation through the augmentation of | crime ana poverty: therefore, be it | Resolved, That if the Employers’ Association | shall refuse by Wednesday night, August 71, | | to meet with representatives of organized la. | or for the purpose of coming to a fair and | equitable adjustment of existing difficulties and | thus restore industrial activity, we, the re- | tail dealers of San Franclsco, will refuse to | | deal with such as are known to be members of | | said Employers' Assoctation, Mass Meeting to Be Held.

Mr. Bibo counseled e | and concerted action in order to secure best results. An address was made by ex-Senator H. | V. Morehouse, in which he said it was high time to bring the Emplovers’ As: ciation to a full realization of their dut | in the premises. B ies When he closed. a unan- fmous request was made that Mr. More- | house address the mass Wednesday evening. It was decided to circulate a petition | signed by the retail merchants requesting | the co-operation of the wholesalers in the | work of settling the strike. | NOT A DAY OF REST. Gangs of Men at Work on Almost | Every Wharf. Yesterday was not.a day of rest on the ! water front. At almost every wharf there were gangs of men at work, and a great deal was accomplished toward relleving the congestion of freight and shipping. The schooner 8. T. Alexander, heavily laden with freight and carrying a deck- | 10ad of lumber, got away for the islands, | as did also.the barks Olympic and San- | tiage. The Olympic in addition to her | | large cargo carried a deckload of horses | and mules. All three vessels were fully | manned with non-union crews. The_collier Tellus, which left port for he Sound late Saturday night, carried meeting next | ¢ | two_extra firemen. Captain Petersen had | made arrangements for six men, and a short time after his vessel had got under way he found that he had eight men in the firerooms feeding the furnaces. He ook the two extra men along with him, {as he figured ihat some less fortunate captain about the Sound ports might need their services. The steamship Peru. whicl. sailed from | here Saturday, carried as part of her car- go twenty-five tons of codfish, and that she did not sail without it was due to the herculean efforts of the entire clerical force of the Union Fish Company. Owing to the strike at the box factories boxes in which to pack the fish for shipment | were not to be had. Search was made | over the entire town for cases by the pro- proprietors, but in vain. Lumber, how- ever, was procurable; and to make the best of a bad hargain the proprietors and their clerks laid in a supply of boards and started to work making boxes. They proved good sawyers and naflers, and | managed to get the fish ready for ship- | ment on the Peru, but only after working | for several nights and days. | There are several vessels at the wharves almost ready 1o clear. The Anubs i load- ed and will probably get away to-day, |ana the work of discharging the Ore- | gonlan is progressing so rapidly that in a few days she will be able to get away. The Sonoma has discharged her cargo of sugar at_the refinery dcck and is being coaled. She will probably be brought around to the Pacific-street wharf to-day for her load of freight. The Pleiades was towed to Oakland yesterday, where the work of taking her cargo of coal out will be attempted. | | | Urges Laborers to Keep Away.

Commandant Kritzinger was defeated by Colonel Gorringe. on Thursday. The Boers were driven in con- fusion toward Orange River. Two com- mandants and several other Boers were captured. The burghers are fleeing north, but Commandant Scheepers is said to have broken back through the British lines. According to reports circulated here the Boers are becoming disorganlze«li. LONDON, . Aug. 18—The Freeman's | Journal of Dublin publishes an interview AIER WATER BEAR CORPSES Yangtse Kiang Floods Cause Fearful Loss of Life. ; Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash.,, Aug. 18—To-day's Oriental advices give further details of terrible floods in the *Yangtse Kiang Val- ley during July. It is estimated that not less than 20,000 people were drowned in the provinces of Kiangsi, Hupeh, Hunan and Anhui, while tens of thousands have been rerdered homeless. The provinces of Kiangsi and Hunan have suffered most severely and boatmen estimate that not less than 15,000 people lost their lives in Kiangsi alone. During June and July rain fell inces- santly forty days through the Yangtse Valley, causing the heaviest precipitation known in centuries according to Chinesc records. Suddenly in July the Yangtse River broke through its banks in numer- ous places and great floods began sweep- ing down the valley, carrying with them rumerous corpses of men and animals, At Kiuking the river attained a height of forty-five feet abaiv; lfow( water and at w of forty-eight feet. H"ll‘rl"lle‘ogreflter m}i’rt if Hankow was inun- dated and all its environments. Kiuking is flooded completely, there being two feet of water in the streets of the foreign set- tlement, which is built on the highest ground. At Anking and as far down the river as Wuhusame a_terrible state of affairs prevails. The Viceroys of four provinces named are powerless to deal with the catastrophe which has befallen their subjects. Funds are being slowly raised and some effort will be made to provide food and shelter as soon as the waters subside. Dispatches received at Yokohama and Tokio from places throughout Japan say that not since the imperial meteorological bureau was established thirty years ago has there been such a heavy rainfall as during July. In the province of Kinshiu rain fell unceasingly July 13, 14 and 15. The resulting floods caused considerable loss of life in Japan. The greatest casualty was at the Iwasaki coal mines in Fukuoka, where sixty-five men were drowned, water having invaded the mine in the middle of the night and cutting off all chance of escape. Dispatches received at Hongkong from Canton state that north and west rivers in Southern China are overflowing. Rice fields ‘and muiberry plantations are an destroyed. The property loss here will amount to several milion -dollars. FOPE LEO IS AT PRESENT ENJOYING GOOD HEALTH Holds a Reception and Converses in an Animated Way With Cardi- nals and Bishops. ROME, Aung. 18.—To-day being St. Joachim’s day, the Pope held a reception, which was attended by twenty cardinals and some 150 archbishops and bishops. He seemed to be in excellent health. In the course of an address he referred to the constant progress of the Roman Catholic church, especially in the United States and Great Britain. He conversed in an animated way with the cardinals.

The British have used armed natives against the burghers from the be- ginning, but we have not used armed Kafiirs, It has always been against our principles to use the black men against the white.” Mr. Kruger emphatically denied the ex- istence of a Dutch _conspiracy against British_influence in South Africa. asked regarding Great .Britain’s promise as to the treatment of the Boers after sur- render, he said: OFFER PRAYERS FOR WHITNEY Ex - Secretary of Navy Earns QGratitude of Salvation Army. | SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. 18.—Special prayers were offered in the main street of Saratoga to-day for William C. Whit- ney. The prayers were made by members of the Saratoga branch of the Salvation Army. The army congregation' game along shortly after 3 o’clock. A prayer or two was offered, the leader gave a little talk and then a young girl with a voice almost as sweet and powerful as that of Colonel Patty Watkins of the Volun- teers began the well-known army hymn which begins: Comes the love of Jesus rolling over me. Over and over like a mighty sea. Whitney sat near the east end of the “Millionaire Piazza™ of the United States Hotel and almost directly above the worshipers. ~ After the hymn the leader spoke of the need the army had of money and three or four lassies started out with tambourines. Senator Gorman, Henry Watterson, August Belmont, S. U. Cad- well and W. J. Arkell were among those who dropped coins or bills into the tam- bourines and it was fairly well filled when a larsfe held it out to Whitney. The ex- Secretary of the Navy. who had been looking off into the distance after the sweet-voiced singers began to sing, rather | mechanically put his hand into his waist- coat pocket and pulled cut a 350 note and dropped it into the tambourine. Then, as if to see just what his contribution had been, he looked at the note and quickly went down into anether pocket and pulled out another fifty, which fol'swed the first one. The little squad knelt then in the street while the leader offered thanks. No one could tell by Whitney's face what were his emotions as he listened to the vrayer, but when it was over he re- tired to his cottage. KEPAIRING THE DAMAGE WROUGHT BY GULF STORM Railroad and Telegraphic Communi- cation Is Resumed Between Mo- bile and New Orleans. MOBILE, Ala., Aug. 18.—The Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which was put out of business between this city and New Orleans by the gulf storm, was put in condition to-day, the first train from New Orleans arriving in Mobile during the day. Telegraphic communication with New Orleans was obtained to-day for the first time since the storm. Several linemen who have been working below came into Mobile to-night. They say that the water in the Texas swamp, through which the Louisville and Nashville runs, completely demoralized the wild animals which have their haunts 4n that wild waste. Many deer came upon the railroad to escape the flood, and a lineman caught one which was so exhausted by swimming that it was unable to get away. A hig black bear also came out of the swamp, but 'was not captured. Information to-day from the American steamer Evelyn, ashore on the south codst near the entrance to Pensacola harbor, is to the effect that she lles in an easy position and can probably be pulled off. + i between Mr. Kruger and Willlam Red-' *I know Great Britain’s promises.

After expressing his firm conviction that God in good time would give the Boers deliverance he remarked: ‘‘Even now we could rebuild our coun- try, but to do so we must have full in- dépendence.” He emphasized the word “full.” When asked about farm burning and the con- centration camps he exclaimed: “Why do_they fight women and chil- dren? “There are men to fight against. I do not believe the British people know what is being done in their name.

Most of the data will be embodied | in his annual report and the statement is prepared for the use of the National en- campment of the G. A. R., which will be held before the report is ready. It shows that the number of pensioners on the rolls June 30 last was 997,737, a net gain of 4206 over last year. The total net loss to che roll during the year was 43,58, which in- cludes 38,153 by death, 853 by remarriage, 1382 by minors reaching the age of 16, 1528 by failure to claim pensions, and 1460 from | other causes. A comparative table shows | that the roll for the year just closed is the “high water mark™ in the history of the genslon bureau, the next highest hav- ing been reached in 1895. Of the gains to the rolls during the year 3349 were from the war with Spain. "The losses included two from the revolution, 215 from the war of 1812, 826 from the war with Mexico, and 544 from the Indian wars.

TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 18.—A peculiar ‘accident happened yesterday at Prosser and one that almost seems unreal. Jam: Ross was at the bottom of a well, forty- five feet below the surface of the ground. He was engaged in making some repair=. He was assisted by a man who stood at the top of the well and who worked a windlass, used for hauling up dirt. Suddenly and without warnin, above Ross began to give way, and before his_helper could grasp the situation the unfortunate man was buried from sight. Eleven hours elapsed from the time of the accident until Ross was liberated, which occurred at 5 o'clock this morning. All hopes for the man had been given up and therefore every one was startled upon reaching the entombed man to find him alive, and aside from a few bruises, as well physically as he had been prior to the accident. It seems that in falling the earth had carried a piece of board with it, and this board had in some manner lodged above Ross, thus giving him_space to breathe and saving his life. He was not in hi right mind upon being liberated, but pc sessed an idea that he had been im: prisoned for three days.

I told Captain Foote that we had better head for the beach, but the ship was taking water so fast she would not answer her helm. Then I calied the mate and ordered the hoats out. This | was done and they were loaded with pas- sengers. Many passengers jumped over- board with life-preservers on. I jumped overboard and was in the water two hoars and a quarter before securing a plece of wreckage.” 2 There was $275,000 in gold on the stes er, $100,000 of which was carried by p <. H. H.

In the opinion of those qualified o judge, however, the coal available in the archipeiago is inferior and the cost of transporting it to the coast, where transports could load it—taking into account the present exorbitant prices of everything, labor mcluded—would bring the total outlay probably above the Jap- | anese figures.

B S a2 S0 T S e HIRSHIP SOARS LIKE I EAGLE |Texas Inventors Solve Problenmi of Aerial Navigation. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, ‘Aug. 18.—A machine t will iy has at last been actually invent: and successfully tested. Gustave White= head and W. D. Custed of Waco, Texas, | dre the inventors, and on Wednesday last a World reporter saw it soar like a bird. The experimental trip was made at mid- night. The machine rolls along the ground | on” wooden wheels, and on a clear stretcn of good macadam road the flying automo= | bile was sent spinning along at twenty | miles an hour. For short distances the speed was close to thirty miles. Whitehead started the engine that pro- pels the machine along the ground, while | his two_assistants clung to the safety | Topes. The machine started slowly at first to run over the ground, but within 100 vards the men who had hold of the | ropes and Inventor Whitehead were run- | ning as fast as they could. | Then Whitehead pulled open the throt- | tle that starts the air propellers, or wings, |and shut off the ground propelling en- | gine. Almost ‘instantly the bow of the machine lifted and it rose at an angle of about 6 degrees from the ground. The machine looked like a great white goose. | “I'm going to start the wings!" he yvelled. ““Hold her now!” The two assist- ants held on the best they could, but the ship shot up into the air. *“We can't hold her!” shouted one of the rope men. “Let go, then!” shouted Whitehead. They did so and the machine darted up through the air like a bird. | In order to avoid a clump of trees | Whitehead brought into play a prineiple which he had noticed in the flight of birds. He shifted his weight to one side; the ship careened and sailed safely | around the trees. He had now soared | through the air for fully a half-mile, and | as the field ended a short distance ahead the aeronaut stopped the power and pre- pared to alight. The ship settled from a height of about fifty feet in two minutes and alighted on the ground on her four wooden wheels so lightly that Whitehead was not jarred in the least.
