First of the Claims for Damages at
Chicago.

Chicago.
CHICAGO. July 30.-The first of the
claims against the city for damage done
property during the recent strike was
filed to-day. The damage for which no.
tice was served covers only the damage
the first two days of July. and legal rec
ognition of the time allowed under the
statutes expired tonight. The claims
aggregated $50, ,399. They were filed by
Attorney Foster of the Grand Trunk for
all the roads.
The claims of property owners on
Grand boulevard have been sent to
Washington by General Miles. Fifty
thousand dollars is the aggregate asked
by the owners of property damaged by
the explosion of an artillery caisson. 1t
is said the committee appointed by Gen.
eral Miles has recommended the pay
ment nearly in full.

Handling Lots of Freight.

CHICAGO, July 30.-The amount of
freight handled last week is about what
the roads were handling before the strike,
and shows that they have recovered their
own and are now doing as much business
as before they were crippled. The chief
item in the freight traffic of the Western
roads at present is live stock. If these
shipments maintain their present aver
age il will be only a short time before the
price takes tumble, as packers have at
present about all they care to handle, and
there seems to be no signs of a let mp in
the traffic.

Large Fruit Receipts.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-The fruit re-
ceipts here this morning were unusually
large. At the wharves alone over "a, 600
boxes of fruit of different varieties were
landed. The glut of the market was so
great that peaches were disposed of at 10
cents per basket. Pears sold correspond
ingly low. Extra steamboats, have been
put on the Sacramento River, the capac-
ity of the regular steamers not being
great enough to move the rapidly ripen-
ing fruit crop.

SAN JOSE, July 3O.-The independent
Order of Red Men Grand Lodge convened
in this city to-day in annual session.
Joseph Melczer of San Francisco, Past
Grand Chief, is presiding. About $50
delegates are in attendance. Annual re-
ports show a membership in California
of over 1900. The finances are in excel
lent condition.

Chances for Firemen to Return to WORK.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-The firemen
and trainmen who left the services of the
Southern Pacific Company at the Begin
ming of the recent strike, hope soon to re-
turn to their old places. Delegations of
former employees and of Sacramento mer-
chants held consultations with General
Manager Towne to-day. Towne received
his visitors cordially. He stated that the
company was willing to accept applica-
tions from former employees and that un-
less such employees had been engaged in
violence their applications would be con-
sidered without prejudice. It is thought
the company is willing to re-empioy these
men provided they show regret for the
past, unless some actual point of differ
ence should be pending between them
and the company.

the mouth OF the Detroit River. where he
had been visiting his daughter, Mrs.
Gilbert Wilkes. Minister Denby was
asked for his opinion on the Chinese

He replied: ut would be Impossible for

MADE A GRAVE ERROR.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-It is the opin-
ion of diplomats that the Japanese have
made grave error in sinking the trans
port KoW Shung, and that 1t is going to
cost them much money in reparation, be-
side the humiliation OF an apology. The
Kow Shung was one of "a line of coast
steamers belonging TO Hugh Mathieson
q Co., trading between Chinese ports.
ne vessel WAS uuueT the brlllSl nag
when she was sunk. Although she car
ried Chinese troops to Corea it is said
here she did not in so doing violate the
law and neutrality. for there has been no
declaration of war, or open acknowledge
ment by either China or Japan that war
prevails. The vessel, therefore, was en-
gagged in legitimate traffic, and the Jap
anese are likely to pay dearly for sinking
her and destroying the lives OF the ships
company.

sing in the cooler air, deposited. to the dsmay
Of the farmers, in untimely freshets of rain over
Minnesota and Wisconsin. At midnight of Thurs
day the focus the cyclone lay across the southern
end of Lake Michigan. and its northern spirals were
beginning to enelrcle the lakes with fierce winds.
This condition Of things was intensified during Fri
day morning the storm centre moving slowly across
Michigan. and then stretching out into a long
eclipse, completely surrounding Lake Erie, while
the wind flowed like torrent down the steep baro-
metric gradient that had been formed over Lake
Michigan, sloping toward the southeast. A down
pour of rain accompanied the gale. and the rain
area rapidly extended to western New York and
Pennsylvania.
But rather surprising development now took
place. The central depression suddenly swung
down across Ohio into Virginia, even reaching
North Carolina, while its northern end, which had
enveloped Lake Ontario, backed away to the border
of Pennsylvania An inspection of Fridays wealth
map reveals the probable of this alteration
in the face of affairs. An anti-eyclone, or high
pressure area, which had lain inactive for two days
over Nova Scotia, suddenly swept around across the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, and, changing front toward
the southwest. advanced as if to meet the storm.
1t is a well-known fact in meteorology that the
progress of storm is frequently resisted by high
pressure area lying in its path, and that is what
seems to have occurred in this case. Indeed the
sudden movement of the St Lawrence anli-cyclone
ON Friday was a demonstration in force for the
defence of New York, and it proved effective, for
the great Western storm retired if bafed its cy
clonic trough began rapidly to fill, and its expiring
fury was spitted out in lightning and thunder gusts
along its broken lines.
If modern meteorology has not yet completely
solved the problems OF the weather, it has, at least
furnished delightful studies of the ttantc conflicts
that are sometimes waged by the powers of the air
conflicts whose theatre occupies the breadth of a
continent and whose consequences involve the
welfare of States.

humanity-if did not tell of the wonderful
benefit i received from your kind treatment.
| suffered for about twenty years with Piles
for the first seven or eight years, not so
severely, but for the last twelve years | suf-
fered more than | am able to describe on
paper. Indeed had them in their severest
form. | applied to a number of doctors, and
tried every remedy that heard of, only to be
disappointed, and in nearly every instance
not even temporary relief. Indeed, was in
pitiful condition when | called on you.
Think of nine large tumors protruding, capable
of bleeding fully pint at every time they
bled. was so weak and nervous from loss
of blood and from intense suffering, that |
did not think life worth living any longer.
But thanks to you and your kind treatment,
| can say that the Piles are thing of the
past. | cannot find language to express my
gratitude to you for your kind treatment and
attention in my case, and humbly pray to
God that your life may be a long and prosper
GUS one. Let me say in conclusion that can
with confidence recommend any sufferer, no
matter how bad his case may be, to go to
DR.. JOHN S. MATTHIAS and be cured.
You are at liberty to use this letter as you
see fit. Every sufferer wishing to know
more about my case can find out by ad-
dressing at my postofice. Very truly yours,
