TUNNEL UNDER THE SEA.

A tunnel between the mainland of
Italy and the island of Sicily is now be
ing actively projected. Plans and a
model complete in every detail were
executed by the Italian civil engineer,
de Johannis, and are now on exhibit
ton at the University of Padua. The
principle employed by him is that IF
boring in parabolic spiral lines. After
thorough and careful studies of the
strait of Messina, it's varying depths,
the nature of the ground and all other
conditions which might assist or inter-
fere with the success of the enterprise,
de Johannis decided to begin his tun-
mel near San Giovanni di SanitellO, at
the foot of the AspromOnte mountain
range, while the mouth on the other
side will be located on the plain de
gil Inglesi." The entire tunnel will e
nearly two miles long and will consist
of two shafts of about 10000 feet each.
descending at a grade not exceeding
81 feet in each 1000. Such a tunnel
would be much preferable to bridge,
which would have to have a span of
1900 feet, and with the enormous
strength of the winds in the strait
such an attempt appears to be exceed
ingly dangerous. This tunnel will cost
about $3.50, 100000, but the money has
not yet been appropriated.

Cleveland. Ohio. Aug. lit is very
probable that the Central Labor union
will order a big sympathetic strike
throughout the city at the next meet
ing Of the Central Labor union. To-
day the executive committee of the
striking Brown Hosting men and Ia
Dor leaders Of the union met in confer
ence and decided that a sympathetic
strike was necessary. The committee
appointed by the Central Labor union
to report on the advisability OF a SYM
pathetic strike just before the sup,
posed settlement OF the Brown strike.
reported favorably. The number OF
unions affiliated with the Central La
Dor union Is more than 60 and the total
membership numbers 10000 in all
branches of trade. These men have
voluntarily bound themselves to obey
the mandates of the Central Labor
union, which consists OF chosen repre-
sentatives from different unions.
The fight will not only be local, but
national. Every union in the United
States will be called on to assess its
members for the support Of the Brown
Hosting Works strikers.
The renewal of the strike at the
Brown Hosting Works resulted In
bloodshed to-day. The trouble began
early In the morning when a mob sur
rounded the house OF one of the nom
workmen and bombarded II with stones
and bricks. breaking the windows and
even smashing the weatherboards. The
police heard Of the trouble and pre-
pared for an outbreak at noon, when
the non-union men should return from
work. A party Of these workmen. dis
regarding the efforts of the police to
protect them, started to walk away
from the works. They had not gone
far when they were met by mob.
First the rioters began to shout at the
non-unionists and then throw bricks.
Then the worklngmen drew revolvers
and began shooting at the crowd. Sew
eral shots were fired, but one of which
took effect. John Prime fell to the
pavement. shot through the body, and
was taken to the hospital. Soon after
the shooting the police arrived on the
scene. but the mob had dispersed and
all were quiet.
This outbreak resulted in the calling
out of two companies of militia. and by
the middle of the afternoon 80 police
men, in addition to the militia. had
been massed in the vicinity of the
Brown works. No more trouble oc-
Cured The manager says the agree

he says, absolves the company from
any further consideration of them and
enables 1t to begin all over on a new
basis. This is taken to mean that the
company will proceed to hire new men.

DESPERATE BATTLE
WAR TO THE DEATH AMONG
OREGON RANCE MEN.
Five Killed In o Bloody Encounter Be-
tween Owners Of Cattle and sheep
Much Hard Feeling.

Fossil, Ore, Aug. III. NJ. South. who
arrived here yesterday from Canyon City.
brings news of a desperate battle be-
tween sheepmen and catt,emen on Snow
mountain, southwest of Canyon City. In
Grant county, which took place about a
week ago Mr.. South was at Muddy sta
tion when the Mitchell Antelope stage
driver brought word to Mr.. ONeill. man
ager of the Springville Sheep q Land
company, that Mr.. Kitchen. one of the
company's employees. was one Of the
three sheepmen killed, two cattlemen be-
ing also slain. Another of the sheepmen
killed was Ernest Sherar. nephew OF
Joseph Sherar. a well-known woolgrower
and buyer. For years young Sherar had
been buying and shipping sheep for his
uncle, and on the occasion OF the battle
he, with several others, including Mr..
Kitchen. was driving band of sheep
across the country to the railroad, pre-
sumably to Huntington for shipment
Many sheep fights have been reported
this year which had no foundation In
fact. but the story OF Mr.. South is gen.
orally accredited.
There has been hard feeling for a
long time between the cattlemen and
sheepmen in that part OF Oregon. Num-
berless disputes have taken place over the
possession and use OF the ranges, the
cattlemen asserting that the sheep drove
the cattle from the ranges.
