BRITIN FEARS THE AUSSINS Czar's Agents in Persia Cause Increased Annoyance. Encroachment of the Musco- vite Places England in Peril. ———— LONDON, Aug. 3L.—Russian agents in Persia are interfering with the Quetta- Nushki trade route between India and Eastern Persia, opened by the Indian Government. According to a Times dis- patch from Simla, Russia, by virtue of a loan contracted in 1900, has effective con- trol of the customs and is giving endless worry and tsouble to traders, -by means of cusioms regulations, especially quar- ntine restrictions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3L—The census bureau has issued a bulletin giving the number of persons of school, militia and voting ages in the States of New York, | New Jersey, North Carolina and the Ter- | ritory of New Mexico for the census year | 1990. According to this statement (nrmg‘n white persons of school age constitute in | New York 12 per cent and native white | persons of foreign parentage 42.8 per cent, | the two elements together representing upward of one-half or 54.8 per cent of the | whole number of persons of school age | |in 1900. These same two elements con- { stitute in New Jersey 49.1 per cent and | in New Mexico 12.9 per cent of all persons of school age. The actual foreign-born males of voting | age constitute in New York 38.4 per cent, in New Jersey 35.7 per cent and in New | Mexico 13.8 per cent of the entire number. Among m of voting age as a wWho there is a nsiderable proportion of ill erates in North Carolina and New Mexico, the percentage for the former State being 29.4 and for the latter 28.3 per cent. These somewhat large proportions are due principally to the presence among males of voting age of a large number of illiterate persons of negro descent in Nerth Carolina and of illiterate Indians | in New Mexico. In both New Jersey and b York the proportion of illiterates is | much less, or 6.9 per cent In the former | State and 5.9 per cent in the latter. | —_—— PERSONAL MENTION | 7 T | | R D.

William Van Housen, Berkeley MEETS FORMER WAR GOMRADES Roosevelt Takes a Cruise on Training Ship Dorothea. CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—Vice President Theodore Roosevelt spent a busy day here after his arrival at 7:30 o'clock this morning. The morning was taken up with, a breakfast at the Chicago Club, tendered by Senator Cullom, and by private busi- ness of the Vice President. At noon a luncheon at the Union League Club, attended by some prominent busi- ne men and State officials, was given. For several hours in the afternoon Roose- velt, in company with Governor Yates and aff, made a cruise on the United States training ship Dorothea. After the Dorothea came to anchor at the end of the cruise Vice President Roosevelt addressed the members of the crew, lauding them for their will- to serve their country. In pass- | ing among the jackies he discovered sev- eral men who had served in the cavalry before Santlago, with whom he renewed acquaintance, In the evening the Vice President was the guest of honor at a dinner given to a number of prominent Chicagoans, in the main members of the Merchants’ Club. Roosevelt absolutely refused to talk on political questions, and with much care = ed away from the subject of his pos- ble candidacy for the Presidency in 1904. To-morrow he will breakfast with Paul Morton, second vice president of the Santa Fe system. The rest of the day will be spent privately. He will leave to- morrow night for Minneapolis. French Girl Life. The programme of what a French girl may or may not do is drawn up very pre- cisely. Unless she Is poor and has to earn her own living she never goes out alone. The company of a friend of her own age would not be sufficient to chaperon her. It is an established rule that novel-reading is a rare exception. She is entirely sub- ject to her parents’ will in the matter of | reading. And if she asks to see anything | at the theater except a classical master- piece, or an opera, they will tell her that such a thing is not considered proper, feeling sure of her silent submission. After she is 15 years old she is generally allowed to be in the drawing-room on her | mother’s reception days, but must keep to the modest and secondary place. as- signed her: pouring the tea and present- ing it, courtesying to her elders, answer- ing when spoken to—in short, undergoing her apprenticeship. She has but few jew- els, and under no pretext any diamonds. Custom does not permit her to wear cost- ly ‘things; nor does it give her the right, in general, to have a money allowance worth speaking of for her personal use. She receives a trifling sum for charity, her books and gloves. A young girl never takes the lead in conversation, but always allows the married lady the precedence, and she finds it quite natural to_occupy the backgroun adies’ Home Journal. —_————— .

It applies only to the butchers and their helpers in the beef killing departments of the packing houses and involves an advance of 10 per cent in the wages of the men employed on the cattle beds. The membership of the organization in all the cities where it is represented is 16,000. At Kansas City 1500 men will be benefited by the advance in wages if it is granted. No increase is asked for men employed in other departments. The increase would raise the wages of some of the workmen, such as the skin- ners and splitters, from the present schedule of 45 cents an hour to 50 cents. Donnelly said the relations with the packers were pleasant and they will be given ample time to consider the request. Donnelly insists that it is not a demand and declares that reports of a threatened strike are misleading. He would not say what action will be taken in the event the request is denied. The request, as Donnelly calls it, was made first at Chicago. It was laid before the Armour management there with a view of covering the Armour plants at Kaneas' City, Chicago and Omaha. It was made on Nelson Morris & Co., to cover their branch houses in St. Joseph and St. Louls; on Swift & Co., to cover the plants at Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Joseph, St. Louis and St. Paul; on Cudahy at Omaha, to cover both that gflln( and Kansas City; on the Hammond acking_Company at Hammond, Ind., to include St. Joseph and the Omaha Pack- ing Company at Omaha, which has its cattle killed at the Fowler Packing House in Kansas City. The only Kansas City packing house which was served with a copy of the request was the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Packing Company. This company has its head- quarters in this city. he 400 union coopers employed in IKan- sas City on Thursday presented.a re- guest for an increase in wages from 271 ents to 30 cents an hour. The Cudahy Company at once discharged the ten coopers in its employ. One hundred and twenty-five Cudahy butchers are on strike. He Was After Nickel Jobs.

BRITONG GREET AMERICAN TARS Many War Vessels Ex- cite Comment in English Ports. Officers and Bluejackets Are All Being Hospitably Entertained. Ay LONDON, Aug. 31.—Seldom have so many American war vessels appeared simultaneously in English ports. Scarcely had the Hartford and Essex arrived in the Thames to-day before the Chicago ex- cited the curiosity of Portsmouth citizens. Then the Dixie arrived at Southampfon and now the Buffalo's crew are being entertained at Greenock. The Hartford and Essex have since left, but the others remain. They are all receiving the most hospitable treatment, but the English officers regret that the vessels could not all come to one port so that the welcome could have been organized. The officers are also puzzled at the fact that the European squadron at present consists of the lonely little Chicago and that Rear Admiral Cromwell has no control of or even communication with other American vessels now in England. The arrival of the Mayor and Corpor- ation of Soutnampton in full regalia alongside the Dixie created intense inter- est among the Western lads who are learning to be jackies. Such an srl’ix of gold, ermine and purple was something new to them, and they commented on the visitors with all the vigor of first im- pressions. With a laudable desire to enliven the dullness of the papers here during Lon- don’s empty season, one daily has been endeavoring to get up a scare over the subject of Great Britain's overwhelming deficiency of submarine boats. Among the alleged crimes it attributes to the Admiralty is that of allowing the United States to secure this week a submarine invention which the Admiralty declined #ven to examne, and which is likely to tevolutionize that method of warfare, correspondent of The Call has ascertained that the invention in question, examined and declined by the Admiralty, was sub- mitted to the United States naval at- tache, Commander Clover, and was for- warded by him in the usual routine to Washington. The - endorsement accom- panying it -nd the opinion of other naval experts renders it highly improbable that the invention will receive any more con- ideration from the Navy Department at Washington than from the British Ad- miralty, which, by the way, are busily engaged in getting their Holland boats ready for -launching. They have called for volunteers to man the submarine boats, but only a few adventurous spirits have responded, and almost all of these have been rejected on account of inability to pass the severe mgdical tests imposed In this class of the service. It is quite probable that five Holland boats will be ready for launching before their crews are secured. The reports that the Vickers-Maxim Company had made several secret and important additions to Holland's inven- tlons are apparently untrue. Grand Army of the Republic.

The musical programme consisted of de- lightful vocal and instrumental selec- tions, in which the following-named par- Duet, mandolin and guitar, \ticipated: Misses Hazel and Hattle Druaham; plan- tation melodies, Comrade Ben 'Imes; plano _solo, ss Hattle McDade: vocal solo, Mrs. Pettie Moyce; plano solo, Sig. L. Simon; vocal solos, the Misses Eva and Gladys Irelan’ and Miss Bunice Ames; whistling girls, Miss Eva Irelan and Miss Eunice Ames. During an intermission a generous colla- tion was informally partaken of, after which the programme was diversified by many happy remarks made by different ones present, all tending to show how closely the several organizations were cemented by the strong tles of frater- nity. The entertainment closed with dancing. Spanish-American Veterans. At a meeting of Reinhold Richter Camp, Spanish-American War Veterans, on the 27th of August, the following named were admitted as new members: Colonel Thom- as F. O’Neil, Lieutenant Colonel J. F. Connelly, Captain W. H. Tobin, Lieuten- ant T. P. O'Brien and Lieutenant F. W. Newbert, late of the First California Vol- unteers, and Private J. J. Toussey of the Fourteenth United States Infantry. These candidates were, after admission into the camp, submitted to the nerve test, which they stood well, and in a few moments after were required to defend certain charges that were read to them in connec- tion with their service in the Philippines. They proved the falsity of the accusation, ‘were then admitted into full membership, and each was presented with a button of patriotic design, symbolic of the order. Friends of the Forest. On the 2th of August the sufreme offi- cers paid a visit to Lincoln Lodge: and witnessed the initiation of a candidate by the drill team, which is a recent innova- tion in this order. During the eyening three applications were received an there were addresses by Supreme Presi- dent Mrs. Reed and other supreme offi- cers. The social that was given in the Red Men's building on the 2th inst. was a pleasant affair. There was a short pro- gramme_ of entertalnment and a well arranged one of dances. Laundry Wagon Drivers. The first entertainment and dance given by the Laundry Wagon Drivers in Odd Fellows’ Hall, August 20, was attended by as many as could crowd into the hall, There was a very entertaining programme and at the close thereof there were more dancers on the floor than there has been in that hall for many years. It was a great success in every way and the credit of it is due in the main to the committee of arrangements, consisting of Charles Packer, A. Hovey, R. L. Hale, 7 Flannagan and J. J. Carroll. Ancient Order of Foresters. The entertainment and soclal that was given on the 20th of August under the aus- pices of the Twentleth Century Club of the Ancient Order of Foresters were at- tended by a large number of the members of the order and strangers, who greatly enjoyed the entertainment that was pres- ent. " This club is making arrangements to have a grand bazaar in the near future. An active committee has been appointed to arrange for this event. —_— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A BALD NEWSPAPER MAN.

MAIL AND EXPRESS ORDERS RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION x MINERS BECOME EAY RESTLES Leaders Fear Strikers May Refuse to Obey All Orders. —— PITTSBURG, Aug. 31—Thirty white non-union miners arrived at Yate from ‘West Virginia to-day. There was no dis- turbance. A meeting held at Fleming last night was attended by all the union and non- union miners in camp. The men, both union and non-union, are unanimously in favor of abiding by the decision of the District and National boards. The report that armed guards were being secured to protect property against violence re- ceived little attention at the hands of the district officers. Notwithstanding the confident state- ments that President Richardson and the district board have issued regarding the situation, there is anundercurrent of feel- ing that all is not well and that the na- tional board had received information that a large percentage of the men will refuse to obey orders. The strike order will not be issued until the national board is satisfied that the men will obey it Then he Hurried up. He was too modest to be a successful lover, and he had let forty years of his life go by without ever coming to an emo- tional point. He was in love with a fair belnf of suit- able age, but he would not tell her so, and, though she knew it, she could not very well give him a hint on the situation. She was willing, because she had ar- rived at that time of life when a woman is not nearly so hard to please as she might have been at some other time, but he was stupid and went away without a word. He was gone a long, long time, and when he came back he found her still ready. “I have come back after many years,” he said to her, as he took her hand in greeting. . She had learned something in the years since she had seen him last. ‘““Well, for goodness’ sake, Henry,” she exclaimed fervidly, “why don’t you take them? I'm 35 now. ow many more years do you want?” Then a great light shone upon him, and he did not walt for any more.—Tit-Bits. ————— The Juggernaut of the Rail. In the thirteen years ending June 30; 1500, according to official report, the rail- roads of the United States killed 86,277 people, an average of 6,636 a year. “Bar- ring the years of our great Civil War,” the New York World notes, “war has not done for us anything like this deadly work. In the twelve greatest battles of that war the Union loss in killed was only about 25,000.” The steam Juggernaut of the West appears to be rather more effective than_ his clumsy and creeping rototype of the Far East.—Charleston ews and Courer.
