Dock Laborers at Colon on IA Strike for
More Pay.

New York, July ga dispatch to
the World from Colon says: The cause
of the strike of the employees of the Pa
citic Mail and Royal Dock laborers is
similar to that of the Panama railway
hands. The men demand 20 cents
more pay on the ground that the pur-
chasing power of Colombian silver has
recently decreased. They say the COM
mon necessities of life have gone up so
and 90 per cent. The oil to light their
houses with has gone up 100 per cent.
The public generally favor the strikers.
Three steamers, the Finance, of thee
Panama line, the Columbia, of the Pa
citic Mail and the Midway, OF the
Royal Mail, are here. If any attempt
be made TO get hands from Panama, 1t
will lead to grave results.
The Royal Mail agreed to pay the
strikers their price of 81 a day so as to
get the Medway's cargo aboard, but
this cargo is in railroad cars and must
be handled by railroad labor before
passing to the Royal Mail. The rail
road company refuses to cOncede to the
strikers demands. The Midway,
therefore, will leave for England with
out the through cargo from Pacific
ports.
Some native strikers began work ON
the Finance, but after working three
hours 200 foreign strikers armed with
sticks assembled around them and by
threats compelled them to stop.
The military and police were called
out and dispersed the strikers. The
railway and Royal Mail premises are
guarded by armed police and the
military.

TERRIBLE BuTCHERY.
Wholesale Slaughter by Fiend on Z"
Louisiana lantatiOn.

Louisiana lantation.
, New Orleans, July 23.-Last Friday
night, on the Terre Haute plantation,
in st. Johns parish, terrible butch
cry of human beings took place. Wmle
Rosario Giordano and his family were
seated at the supper table, Joe Noska
walked up to the door, and, leveling a
double barreled shotgun, fired. Mrs.
Giordano fell to the floor corpse, and
the bullets that did not go through her
went through both legs OF four
months-old infant she held in her arms
Giordano, fearing that the babe would
be killed, sprang forward to clasp 1t,
and the assassin then fired again. The
buckshOt entered the groin and leg OF
Marti Giordano, the 10-year -old girl,
who on seeing her mother fall, ran for
ward and received portion OF the LOAD
of buckshot that struck her father
The shot entered her abdomen, literal
ly tearing it to pieces. At the same
time little Nicolina fell to the floor
wounded through the head. The as
sassin, Joe Noska, did not move from
the spot, but when he saw Benedltto
Giordano, nephew of the dead wom-
an, and Charlie ColumneanO coming
toward him, he coOlly placed two fresh
shells in his gun and waited until they
came very close to him. Then he raised
the gun and fired both barrels, the two
men falling to the ground dead. Then
the murderer, throwing his gun over
his shoulder, made his escape TO the
woods.
When the citizens ascertained the
extent of the slaughter they organized
a posse, and, led by the sheriff, at
tempted to capture the assassin. The
wounded were brought to the Charity
hospital in this city. They are:
Rosario Giordano, aged "a, shot
in the left thigh; Mary Giordano, aged
10, shot in the abdomen, the bullet
perforating the bladder and intestines;
NicOlani Giordano, aged Z, shot in the
corner of the eye, the bullet penetrat-
ing his skull; Joseph Giordano, aged
months, shot III both legs and i'll the
head.
The two little Giordano girls at the
hospital will die. The father and 4
months-old baby will recover.
Giordano says he does not know how
he has offended Noska, who was a la
borer on the place, except that on one
occasion the Oyerseer, who is friend
of his, told the men to do some chores
GiordanO, however, had nothing to do
with this. Giordano had been living
on the plantation with his family for
the past few years. Last October Nos
ka Cor Genaste) came from New York
to work on the plantation, He is a
married man and lived with his wife
and two children on that place. The
assassin and the wounded man never
had any trouble, and no ill-feeling, SO
far as the wounded man knew, existed
between them. The assassin has not
yet been captured.

EACH SIDE AIMING.


Omaha, July pa special TO the
Bee from Rawlins, Wyo., says: The
tilt between cattlemen and sheepmen
in Routt county, Colo, is not settled
by any means. The cattlemen are de-
temuined to prevent the sheep from
grazing through the summer range i'll
the mountain foothills, while the
sheepmen are just as determined to Oc-
cupy their old ranges. Several Of the
large sheepowners, being among the
oldest settlers in the county, claim that
their most bitter enemies among the
cattlemen are comparatively newcom-
ers, who are small farmers and own
but few cattle, many having only a
couple of mich COWS. The Bee repre-
sentative was informed today by a very
reliable man, who has just came i'll
from the south, that the cattlemen have
staked their claims, and threaten to
kill any that pass beyond, and that
they are patrolling the country. The
sheepmen say they will occupy their
former summer ranges, peaceably If
possible, forcibly if driven to it. Each
side is said to be alarming. A conflict
may be expected at any time, unless
there are concessions on both sides.

When the Naval Reserves of Cali

Olympia number of homing pigeons
were taken along. These birds were
liberated at frequent intervals and
brought detailed reports ashore o.
what was going on aboard ship. The
birds for this purpose were furnished
by San Francisco farcier, but the
Government has birds enough OF its
own for the purpose and would have
furnished some OF them for the Olym-
pia if that cruisers officers had asked
for them.
The San Francisco experiments
demonstrated anew the value of having
homing pigeons for carrying messages
from sea to land. The United States
army and navy officers already under.

"There is a fortune awaiting ths

best one made is the searchlight,

sene can be burned, sperm oil being

age Of the &earchlight is that it is less
