Quick drying Floor Paints are

Quick drying Floor Paints are
made in various ways with resinous oil
sometimes, and often with cheap varnsh.
IL floor paint could only be made with a
fine varnish, it woull be very attractive,
both as to its quick drying properties, high
gloss and durability but such varnish
costs four dollars gallon, and therefore 3
out of tho question. A paint made with
varnish doss not spread nicely as one
with oil. Tho Chiffon Foor paints ara
made with pure, kettle boiled Linseed Oh,
with rs much turpentne japan added as is
consistent with durability. Too muca
dryer takes away from the life Of the oil.
II, for instance, the floor of the kitchen is
to be painted, the first thing to do is to
thoroughly wash it with soap and warm
waetr into which put q little ammonia,
perhaps half an ounce to a pail of water.
Tuis will help remove all tho grease. TAs
floor should then 6e allowed to thoroughly
dry. If you can conveniently do so, call
in the services of frst-class painter.
Paint one or two coat', as necessary, al
lowing first coat to harden and dry before
second IL applied. You can use the kitchen
about twelve hours after the first coat i3
put on, and have the second coat put On
several days later if You wisn.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April THE
United States has taken vigorous action
in regard TO the outrages on American
citizens at Marsovan, in the Turkish
dominions, and the violations of the
mails Of the United States legation.
The facts Of the case are as follows:
On January 10th, last, q number OF
sedltious placards were distributed
throughout the region of Marsovan and
Caesarea, in the center OF ASIA
Minor. On account OF alleged
seditious movements existing among
the ArmenIans, the Turkish authorities
ascribed the authorship OF these pla-
cards to the students of Anatoba COL
lege, an American educational institu-
tion at Marsovan. On the night OF Feb
ruary ., the Girls Seminary Of this in
stitution was fred and burned TO the
ground. There was strong circumstan-
tial evidence to show that this was done
with the knowledge, II not by the d.
rect act OF the Turkish officials. The
condition Of the Americans in this place
became so serious that United States
Consul Jewett was dispatched thither
from Sivas, and the Americans in that
district have been under his protection
ever since. Dispatches passing between
Minister Thompson and Consul Jewett
at Marsovan have been repeatedly
violated, and the formal complaint OF
this fact has been made by the Ameri-
can Minister TO the Sublime Porte.
Demands for redress made TO the
Turkish authorities were met by coun-
ter demands on their side that the al
legged seditious movements OF the Amer
icar students should first be investigated
and determined upon before any efforts
were made to discover the perpetrators
of the outrages complained OF.
Secretary Gresham mas cabled to Min
lister Thompson at Constantinople a
strong expression OF the Presidents
views on the outrage, and demanding
not only prompt reparation for the
burned seminary but the punishment OF
all parties found guilty In the matter.
Minister Thompson is instructed that
no alleged prior acts OF students are to
affect the rights of this government In
the premises. Minister Thompson Is
charged to give renewed attention to
the matter and to dispatch special
messenger II necessary TO Consul
Jewett and see to the inviolaoility
of official correspondence. The Minis
ter is to act promptly and advise the
department by cable. No effort is to be
relaxed in securing the legal rights Of
our citizens in Turkey.
1t is understood to be the policy OF
the United States to make this Marso-
van incident test case in our relations
with Turkey. There are at the present
time more than two hundred American
citizens residing in the Turkish empire
who have the management OF property
TO the value of over 81, 600, ,000 Further
advices from Mr.. Thompson are looked
for very shortly.

THE KRUPP GUNS UNLOADED.
Immense Masses of Steel Easily Lifted
by the Shears

BALTIMORE, ND, April 7.-Superin-
tendent King, OF the Maryland Steel
Company, smiled yesterday for the
first time in fully three weeks wheD,
out over the water and six feet
above the level of the dock, mass OF
steel rails weighing 130 tons was sus-
pended by the shears which had been
constructed to lift the big Krupp gun.
IL was the heaviest weight ever lifted
in this country by the crane system,
and the trial was a complete success.
After the test the vessel was pulled
under the shears and the work Of un-
loading the guns and armor plate began
in earnest. The 62-ton gun was the
first one tackled.
Only two OF the four great chains
were used on this gun, and they proved
sufficient, for in just IS minutes from
the time the lifting power was put on
the gun was lowered to its bed on a
combination platform car which will
take it TO Chicago.
The chains were made fast around 1t
at the breecb and perfectly balanced, 1t
was raised above the deck and then
swung over 10 Iue CdI' NcAt Cduo tuo
43-ton gun, which was handled just as
easily.
Nothing was then left but the 124-ton
gun and a sect On of armor plate eighty
i've feet long and one and quarter
inches thick. This plate, ii is expected,
will be the hardest thing to move on
account of It's great length. The big
gun was taken out to-day.
The armor plates, or rather target
plates, put ashore show the terribly de-
structlve power of the Krupp gun far
better than words can describe. Two
OF the plates are Of steel, - inches
thick, and weigh 80 and 40 tons respec-
lively.
One has four indentations, varying
from three to nine inches in depth, and
two ragged holes extending clear
through il. The indentations were
made by shots from Aston gun placed
at a distance of four miles.
The holes were made by shells from q
Krupp rife at two miles range. The
other plate has two indentions three,
and seven inches in depth, made by
shots from 62-ton gun six miles away.

NINE ITALIANS KILLED.
a Destructive Accident on the Drainage
ChanneI-A Big CaDtilever Gives Way

4 Destructtve Accident on the Drainage
ChannsI-A Big CaDIilever Gives Way
JOLIET, ILL, April THE first seri-
ous accident TO occur on the drainage
channel happened at Romeo, village
about ten miles north OF this city;
About 5:45 this evening a heavy wlnu
rose and was followed in aboot i've MIN
utes by a heavy fall of hail. This caused
all the men TO run 20 shelter.
The men on one of the cantilevers
ran into the engine house at one end OF
the huge machine. The tracks on
which IL runs extend north and
south. The lever was on the south end
Of the track, and had been carelessly
left uniastened.
The wind increased TO q gale, struck
the cantilever and started 1t down the
track toward the engine house In Whlch
fourteen men were huddled.
When the large machine reached the
end OF the tracks the bottom was stop
ped by the manner in which the tracks
are built. The top, however, had gain
ed such momentum that it could not Dc
stopped and the enormous machine
weighing 2SO tons fell directly on the
engine house.
As result nine men were killed and
six severely wounded. The men were
aU Italians except the foreman, Samuel
Korus, who lives in this city, Inc
cantilever was 75 feet long and 80 feet
in the air. The force Of the fall dam-
aged the machine itself so that 1t is a
total loss.

A BIG STRIKE AT HULL
Dock Laborers Attack Non-Union Men,
and Run Amuck in the Streets

LONDON, April IA strike that
threatens TO have serious consequences
has been started at Hull, the we'll
known shipping port In Yorkshire.
The shipping companies have been en-
blowing non-union laborers loading and
discharging their vessels. This an
gered the members OF the Dock Labor
ers' Union, and few days ago the
unionists went on strike.
A large number Of non-union men
went to Hull 10 take the places OF
strikers and work about the docks, was
proceeding satisfactorily until to-day
when the strikers, by threats and other
means OF intimidation, succeeded In
completely blocking work on every yes-
sci In port excepting the steamer Monte
bello, upon which a large number OF
non-unionists were employed.
A crowd comprising several thousand
hooting and yelling strikers and their
sympathizers proceeded TO the dock
where the Montebello was lying and
made a determined attack upon the men
at work. finally routing them. The
strikers then made an attempt TO cap
ture the steamer. In the meantime the
poIice began to arrive and the strikers
were given orders 10 disperse, when the
strikers turned upon and furiously at
tackled them.
A severe conflict followed, which re-
suited in the mob being driven back and
of the dock. In the struggle seventeen
men were injured. The strikers then
turned their attention 70 the offices OF
the shipping federation. which is an as
sociation OF ship owners. The police
rallied again, and another conflict en-
sued. The strikers were forced TO re-
treat. and q semblance Of order was
restored.
The streets along the water front are,
however, filed with strikers, angrily
discussing the situation and making
threat.. It is said that the town officers
have asked that soldiers be sent to as
sist them In preserving the peace. The
outlook is serious.
No steamers have been able to get
awav to-day except those loaded be-
fore the trouble occurred, and the entire
shipping trade is at standstill. E1-
citement prevails everywhere In the
tom. and the outcome Of the struggle
is anxionsly awaited.
The strikers are making an effort this
evening to compromise their differences
with their employers, but their concilia-
tory proposals have been rejected.

PARIS, April flames @. Carter,
counsel for the United States, contin-
ued before the BerIng Sea Court OF Ar
bitrstlon to-day his reply to Sir Charles
Russel's plea for the admission In evil
dence OF the British supplementary re
port Of the Bering Sea Commission.
The contention OF the counsel for
Great Britain he said had been the
question of right In the Bering Sea and
must be settled before the matter OF
regulations. The contention OF the
United States from the beginning OF
the dispute, however, had concerned
the regulations The United States
had held also that for the settle
ment OF the property claim advanced
by them evidence on seal life In the
Bering sea was necessary. Such evil
dence was contained la the original re-
ports of the Bering Sea Commission,
and therefore these reports formed an
indispensable part OF the case and coun-
ter case. AS for the supplementary re-
port II had not appeared in the matter
already referred 10, and II ought there
fore to be excluded from the evidence.
II the contention OF Great Britain was
sustained IL must follow that the ques-
tion OF right was 70 be decided first, aud
the question OF regulation which the
United States regarded as OF prime Inn
portance must be relegated TO second
place.
Mr.. Carter then read at length from
Sir Julian 2auncefote's correspondence
in 1890 to prove that the question OF
regulation was then regarded as one OF
the first consideration.
Baron DeCourcet asked whether or
not Russia was party TO the negotl-
ations at that time.
Mr.. Carter-"I do not know. but /
consider the point unimportant."
Sir Charles Russell-"Communica-
tlons with other powers were held Ia
view, / believe. 1t was intended at first
20 ask for their active participation In
the convention. -
Mr.. Pheps--"Thls may be an impor-
tant question later on; meantime II Is
OF secondary Importance"
Baron De Courcet-"Lord Harmon
british ARBITRATOR directs my atten.
ton to O dispatch from Sir Julian Paun-
ceiote, in which he refers 10 communal
cation with Russia"
Mr.. Phelps-"Thls is a matter OF In
difference"
Mr.. Carter-"The scheme was this:
Experts were appointed 70 draw up reg
ulatIons for the seal fisheries; II they
failed to agree then there was to be ar
bltration. No question OF right or Ju-
risdlctlon was raised.
In replying to Mr.. Carter. Sir Charles
Russell admitted that Sir Julian Paun-
ceiote's dispatches as far as mentioned
were confined TO questions OF reg
ulatlon. This, be said, was due
TO the fact that tho Intention
then was TO consult Russia and other
powers concerning the regulations OF
the seal fisheries. II the correspond
ence were further consulted, however.
IL would be found that separate nego-
tiations had proceeded simultaneously
on questions OF right and damages for
seizure.
The court adjourned until Tuesday
when IL will hold secret session. On
Wednesday the proceedings will again
be open to the public.

A SENSATION PROMISED
When tho Economic Trustees Trial
Begins-Prominent People Implicated.


PlTTsBURG, PA, April 7.-An even
ing paper says that when the
case Of Henry and Benjamin
Feicht against President John
Duss and others, Of the Economic So
ciety, comes TO final hearing sensa-
tion is TO be sprung, which may crimi-
nally involve some Of the best known
people OF Beaver county.
He will commence taking or testl-
mony within the next few days and the
final arguments will be made later be-
fore Judge Wickham. IL is intended
to show that the Economic Society has
lost the sum Of 81, 700,0 600 through the
mismanagement Of it's industrial enter
prises. 1t is claimed that men high up
in the community and who have been
identified with the Economic Society
are now and have been indebted TO the
society to the extent of over 100000.
Some time ago Anzo Miller, the most
intelligent member Of the Board Of FL
ders aud Feicht's most competent wit
ness, left Economy very mysteriously
and has not been seen since. Yester-
day Julius Stackle and wife and sister.
Bertha Gartoch, withdrew from the So
ciety. Since Miller's departure the
Board of Elders has taken action and
question the right OF Duss to pay out
the society's money without consulting
them. Stackle, together with his fam
lily, it is said, left the society with gift
ef So, 500, made by Mr.. Duss. Miller
was given S., 900.
Trustee DusS when seen Substanti-
ated the story that Stackle and Miller
had left the society and were given
large sums of money but denied that the
payment Of the money was in the nature
of a brike.

there was a great deal meant 70 tell
