OUT FOR BLOOD.
Strikers Pay No Heed to the
Promise of Their President.

ASHLAND. Wis, July 3l.-A crisis was
reached in the lumber-shovers' strike this
morning. The strikers openly defied the
officers of the city and county. closing with
them in hand-to- hand battle. in which
blood was shed freely. The Shores Lum-
Der Company sent word to Mayor O'Keefe
that it had commenced loading boats with
non-union laborers and asked for police
protection. The Mayor sent Chief of
Police Schwarz and some officers to tho
decks, where they we're joined by Sheriff
O'Brien and his deputies.
Work had hardly commenced, however,
when great mob of. strikers swarmed
down. The foremost of them were forci-
bly, handcuffed by the officers and others
were arrested who were afterward res
cued from the police by their fellows. A
desperate hand-to-band contest followed.
The officers were nearly all bruised with
clubs and stones. and non-union men were
struck down with clubs and terribly
beaten. They fled panic-strcken. fol
lowed bv the strikers, and were met by
officers who protected them from further
violence. Forty of the rngleaders among
the strikers have been arrested. Mayor
O'Keefe says that the president of the
Lumber-shovers' Union assured him that
no violence would be committed and he
now swears that the city will protect non-
union labor at any cost.

WORKING A REFORM.
Hoke Smiths Pension Policy Finds a
Defender.

PITTsBURG, July 31.-Judge SlagIe of
the County Court here recently wrote to
Assistant Secretary of the Interior Ray-
nolds about the recent sus pension of many
pensions, and has received lengthy reply
from Mr.. Reynolds explaining the policy
of the administration. Reynolds says
substantially that the suspensions to
which the Judge referred were made by
virtue of an order Of the Secretary, hold
ing in substance that man who Is able to
earn his support by manuel labor Is not
under the law entitled to pension.
Order 2790 of Commissioner Raum, fix
ing the rates of pensions, ignored the
essen tial basis Of ppnsiOnable status
inability to perform manual labor. Fur
thermore, evidence which might have
shown that disabilities were the result of
vicious habits was not required, the Com
missioDeI's ruling thus superseding the
law.
Again Ranm treated disabilities not of
service origin the same as disabilities
which were.
The present Secretary. having found the
erroneous orders Of Raum unreyoked and
the claims sdjudcated hereunder unaues-
toned. could not do otherwise than revoke
these orders. providing new one in ac-
cordance with the law for future practice
and ordering the re-examination of prior
adjudications to correct errors.
Bsum's error was not exposed until
January of this wear. after 321.130 cases

The administration would have been a

Hints of the Failure of
the Fair.
MILLIONS HAVE SEEN 1T,
But Millions Yet Must Come ff the
Company Is to Discharge Its
Obligations.
Special to TUE MORNING CALL

CHICAGO, July 31.-The weather was
fine and cool and there was large attend
auce al tile Worlds Fair to-day.
The delegation of mechanical engineers
visited the grounds and was shown the
wonders of engineering skill in the White
City.
In the session OF the national commits
sion to-day resolution was offered for ad-
journment until Wednesday in order that
members might attend the silver congress
The resolution was amended by striking
out the words referring to the silver con-
gress, and WIS adopted.
Three months Of the fair have now
passed and the total paid attendance for
that time is just about 100000. The ex-
position is all that any one could expect.
but for unknown reasons, and perhaps
owing to the dilatory work of the
railroad in regard to rates, the
attendance up 10 this time has been
disappointngly small. Unless there
is wonderful increase during the next
three months the exposition company will
have hard time paying its debts.
Norton Bush, superintendent Of the
art gallery of the California building. had
an interview to-day with John Boyd
Thatcher Of the committee of aw ards. who
announced that only about week and a
half or two weeks more will be allowed
within which applications for considera-
ton will be received from artists. This in
formation is startling in view of the gen.
eral understanding to the effect that pic
lures would be not finally passed upon
until the close of tie fair. Personal ap-
plication for consideration should be made
at once by all California artists having
pictures in the State building gallery and
who are ambitious of distinction. Pic
lures originally rejected from the fine
arts building will not be considered, but
this does not bar out any other picture or
pictures by the same artist.
A large shipment of assorted fruits and
and vegetables was received to-day from
Southern California. some of which will
open the eyes of the Worlds Fair visitors.
The shipment includes corn fifteen feet
high and two months old, squash weigh
ing 140 pounds and beets measuring five
feet length, besides numerous other mon
sers of the vegetable world.
Carl Kahler, the eccentric California
artist who last Saturday walked into tsIe
fine arts building and sashed his picture.
has explained his reason. He says the
picture is duplicate of one owned by
Mrs. Robert johnson. He has recently
been offered 1000 for the duplicate. but
realizes that to sell it would be acting dis
honorably toward the owner of the original
picture and TO put himself out Of tempta-
tion's way decided to destroy the duplicate.
The opening of the Worlds Fair Scottish
Assembly was inaugurated today by
great parade of killed Hghlanders and
series of athletic sports at Southside Ball
Park.
The general session of the Engineers
Congress began in the Art Institute with
about 400 delegates present, including
many prominent foreigners.
The total admissions to-day were ILL.,
of which 70,254 were paid.

LONDON, July 3i.-In the Commons to-

saults committed on Thursday evening
were to be allowed to pass without pun
ishment being Inflicted upon the offenders
and also what action would be taken II he
moved for committee of Investigation.
Gladstone said he would answer to-mor-
row.
Fisher Conservative, who started the
fist fight, arose and expressed deep regret
for the part be took. He thought that Lo-
gan had intended 10 assault him or Car
son. Logan emphatically denied his in
teution to commit an assault, and deeply
regretted being concerned in the affair.
Gladstone said the explanation was sat
isfactory and he hoped the matter would
be allowed to drop.
Balfour and Mccarthy also expires sed
satisfaction, but Mccarthy protested
against the idea that the row was due to
the Irishmpn.

ON A SOUND BASIS.
The Santa Fe Will Not Go Into a
Receivers Hands,

CHICAGO. July 31-Prpsident Reinhart
of the Santa Fe system, speaking Of the
general railroad situation. said IL was true
that traffic had fallen off greatly of late.
but most of the large roads had foreseen
this and had begun to prepare for it
months ago. The reduction in expenses
had kept pace with the reduction in traffic,
and final settling up would show net
earnings on most Of the roads was as large
as usual.
Mr. Reinhart was decidedly not of the
opinion tha; there was any foundation in
fact for the many rumors in circulation TO
the effect that a general passing OF divl-
dends was to be expected. Such rumors
were put in circulation by irresponsible
parties who Lave sold the property OF
others and wanted to buy it back cheaper.
Such men ought TO bs in the pentent tiary.
With them had originated the report tb at
the Santa Fe would follow the Erie into
the hands of receiver. The financial de-
preston he thought would not last very
long.

HE SAVED HIS LIFE,
But He Had to Knock Him Out Of
Time to DO So.

From the Atlanta Constitution
The Early County News tells of a new way
to save a man from being crushed by q
falling tree. Uncle Attaway johnson of
that county relates his experience In the
above line as follows:
The road hands were ordered to work
the road from Jordan ford on Dry creek to
the Blakely court house. Among them was
great, brawny, muscular man by the name
OF Cap Barefield. who was addicted to
drink. Cap came up to town in the morn
ing and got drunk-so drunk. in fact that
he thought himself perfect Hercules. He
staggered about among the other hands I'm til
the middle of the forenoon, when q large
oak tree standing by the roadside in the
neighborhood of Katie Perryman's present
home was ordered to be cut down. Cap
swore he'd catch the tree when 1t fell and
stood in position to do so with outstretched
arms, while the axmen made the chips fly
cutting II down.
His friends tried to persuade him out of
the foolish notion of holding UP in his arms
falling tree two feet thick All to no pur-
pose There he stood. Presently the tree
began to creak and fall and Cap moving
directly under IL, without the tremor of a
muscle, braced himself to support it. Uncle
Attaway, seeing that certain death awaited
MIN. sprang forward and with his fist let
cap have 20 darter' in the bur Of his ear.
This landed him out of danger, but the tree
scraped Uncle Ats heel as it FELL

regretted that some OF the newspapers
resort to sensational head lines and thus
unnecessarily alarm the public In connec-
ton with contagious or infectious diseases.
While much good is accomplished through
leading the people to observe the laws of
sanitation In their own persons, there is
also much harm done through unreasonips
rear and nervous dread which is caused by
these sensational methods The mere fact
that the Karamania was detained al quar-
antine yesterday should not be a source
OF great alarm, for never in the history
OF TINS country has its sanitary condition
Cholera has been generally prevalent IN

April. when some cases occurred in Lau-
rienA, one OF the northern provinces Of
dition OF the United States in general IS
excellent. and this is more especially true
OF the large cities. Since the great source
OF infection Is the water used for drinking
II is around this that the most stringent
safeguards should be thrown. This has
been fully recognized in the larger cities
and thanks to the energetic work of the
various boards OF health. there Is little or
no cause to fear as to impure drinking
water. Sotourners at summer resorts. how
ever, should exercise particular caution, as
the water used at these temporary places
OF residence is frequently contaminated
not at present with cholera germs but
with other germs Of diseases which may
weaken the system so as TO afford a lodg-

be introduced later. That the health au-
thorities of this city are able to combat
the disease, even should IL reach this
country, contingency which / scarcely
class among the possibilities was amply
demonstrated I'm the wav that the Few
cases were handled which appeared here
last year, and: further: IL may be said
that the sanitary condition Of this city
now is better than IL was then. There are
lust three points to bear in mind: First.
That cholera can only be taken into the
body by means OF food or drink. Second.
That even IL taken into a healthy stomach
cholera germs are harmless. the acid

Third That they are certainly KILLED when
