or Much Impeded.
CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Urless present
plans of building trades labor leaders
miscarry, work will be stopped by
Monday, on most Of the large and
hundreds Of the smaller buildings in
process of construction in this city.
h will be the result Of a sympathy
strike Of all building trades artisans
to aid the hod carriers and bricklay.
crs' helpers now out to force a raise
in wages to twenty-five cents per
hour.
Up to this morning 1900 bod car
riers lad quit work and building OPP
erations in all parts Of the city are
affected. while contractors who can
not afford, under their contracts, to
pay the twenty-five cents an hour de-
manded and whose men have not vet
struck, are much disturbed over the
outlook.
After 4 long session, lasting from 5
o'clock last night until 1880 o'clock
this morning, the executive commit.
tee of the building trades council
finally decided to order out all other
artisans now : work on buildings
where contractors attempt to replace
the striking hod carriers with non
Nnion laborers. AS n result several
thousand mechanics: carpenters, iron
workers, briclllayers and workers in
kindred trades will probably be or
dered out early next week.

In no more emphatic manner are
modern facilities of transportation m
phasized than in the safety with which
perishable food is conveyed from a
great distance. In this particular Aus
tralia, South America and the United
States are no further removed from
Europe than a single province formerly
was from the capital of the country of
which 1t formed a part. Algeria is now
supplying Paris markets with camel
neat. An extensive plant has beer
created in that French colony for the
killing and refrigerating of those ami.
mails, and daily shipments are made
to Paris. The meat of the camel is de.
scribed as not unlike beef, with the
tenderness of veal. The hump is the
choicest portion. Eggs that formerl,
were gathered near the localities wher,
they were sold now come from distan
points. Four million daily are receiy
ed in London from foreign countries
Most of them come from Russia. The,
command in England twice the pric
they bring in the home market. TIL
export of eggs from Russia, that /,
1885 amounted to 235, 000, 900, increase,
in 1895 to 1880, 000, 200. These are Off
.cial figures. The larger proportion O
this product goes to England. In add
ton, great quantities of dressed fow
are annually exported from Russia i
all European cities.

HOkE SMITH RESIGNS.
The Secretary of the Interior Leaves the
Cabinet-Party Fealty the Cause.

The Secretary of the Interior Leaves the
Cabinet-Party Fealty the Cause.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-For some
time rumors have appeared in print
on the probability Of the early resig.
nation of Secretary Hoke Smith be-
cause Of his support Of the Chicago
nominees and free silver platform.
Now there can be no doubt but that
he has resigned and hat his r~esigna-
tion has been accepted.
For some days shipments have been
made to Atlanta, Ca, Of Mr.. Smiths
books and papers, and it is learned
tina he has declined to set any de-
partmental business to be heard by
him for a date later than this month.
1t can safely be assumed that Il sue
cessor will be in charge in u very
short time.
After the nomination of Bryan and
Sewall it became known hat Score.
tary Smith was The only member Of
the cabinet who announced his pur-
pose to support that ticket. This ac-
ton on his part, while not in any way
affecting his personal relations with
the other members of the cabinet,
seems Sc material to him that he felt
constrained to tender his resignation.
before the last Democratic national
convention, Mr.. Smith delivered sew
eral gold standard speeches in Georgia
in a series of joint debates with ex-
Speaker Crisp, but declared in each
that he would accept the decision of
the national convention in regard to
the financial question and his paper
some time ago published an editorial
lndorse ment Of BRYAN and Sewa!l.

A st. Louis nan is playing a grea,
joke on his contrary hens. And any
one who ever owned hens knows that
they will not set when they are wanted
to, and they insist on setting on any
thing remotely resembling an egg at
seasons when their efforts should be di-
rected to egg laying exclusively. This
man knew that a blindfolded hen will
squat wherever it is placed. and stay
there till it sees the light Of day. He
just blindfolded six of his hens, and
they are now in%voluntarily doing the
Matching act.

LONDON, Aug. 2l.-The dull season
has brought the usual disturbances
among the laborers and artisans, and
the long-threatened lockers strike
seems likely to come to a head in the
near future, for the men at several OF
the naval torpedo works are already
