. TO FIGHT THE NEW INDUSTRY.
COMMITTEE OF PHILADELPHIA
STRIKERS CAME DOWN TO DE
CLAIRE WAR, BUT FAILED.

A wen-dressed man and woman,
claiming to be a committee Of the
Shirt-M Makers Union, of Philadelphia,
came down to New Castle prepared TO
wage war on the new shirt factory.
They came, suspecting that the New
Castle industry had been started to do
the work neglected by the philadelphia
strikers and fer the same concerns.
Had this been true, they would have
called together the prospective opera
tives and whispered in their ears
AS it was they learned that the
Standard Company had no connection
whatever with this strike, nor Is it do
ing any OF the work which the Phila-
delIhia strikers refused to do. The
committee was not altogether satisfied,
however, and spread discCuraging re-
ports about what poor pay operatives,
and especially learners, would make for
very hard work.

A BRAVE MAN INDEED.
Stands Up And Attacks A
WOman'S Congress.
ASKED TO ADDRESS THEM ON
ONE SUBJECT AND GOES
OFF ON ANOTHER.
Compares The WOman'S Feathery
HeaiireSS With The Indians And
Says They Are SavageS And
Then He Left Through A
Coal Chute.

San Francisco. May "a Hindoo call
ing himself the Brahmacharin Bobha-
| biskshu, nearly created d riot at the
meeting of the Womens congress by
| denouncing the women of the west as
| savages and declaring that he had been
insulted.
The gathering of women from all
parts of the state has been in session
here all week. The Brahmacharin
BObhabiskshu has been a picturesque
| figure, always attired in flowing
gown of silk and wearing a huge tur-
bam The women have made much of
the man from India who has posed as
an example of humility and gentle
ness and last night he was invited to
speak on the subject of religion as a
synonym of education.
Instead he stepped forward and in
unqualified language attacked the con-
gress, it's motives and the honesty of
| it's speakers.
After several vain attempts to be
further heard he STROBE with what he
called bravery and heroism" from the
scene.
He announced that he had been insul-
day evening his flowing robes had been
pulled by the ladies while he was talk
| ing-pulled, he said, to insult him be-
cause he was telling the truth in OPP
position to the horrible and foolish
doctrine of heridity.
Bobhabiskshu attacked women in
| general. He called them dishonest and
said THE women of the west are
| all he
difference between the Indian who
puts war feathers in his hat and the
woman who puts feathers and flowers
| in her hat?"
He then commenced a personal at
tack on Mrs. Gardner, but his voice
was drowned by the shouts and Kisses
| from the audience. When finally quiet
was restored the Hindoo exclaimed:
Il will go like a hero, 1 will be brave"
He gathered his silken robes about
him and STROBE from the stage. Sur
rounded by his friends he was escorted
| to the furnace room and let out into
the street through the coal holes.
The ladies of the congress deny that
the East Indian had been in
suited and said they had heard moth
ing about it until he commenced his
attack.
The Hindoo came to be the guest of
the congress through an inquiry at the
Theosophical headquarters for Mrs.
Annie Besant. who was expected in
| this city. AS she would not reach
here in time the Brahmacharin was re-
commended. AS he was in Los Ange-
les, the congress got him transporta-
ton, and while not paying for his ad-
dresses, they were paying his expenses
while he was in the city.

ST. JOHNS PICNIC.
A Day Pleasantly Spent in Picturesque
Van Raub Park.

A Day Pleasantly Spent in Picturesque
Van Raub Park.
The Sunday school of st. Johns Ger
man Lutheran church on Villita street
held it's regular. annual picnic yester-
day in the beautiful grove at Van
Raub on the Kerrville branch of the
Arkansas Pass railway, and from point
of attendance, as we'll as otherwise,
was a complete SUCCESS.
At $50 yesterday morning a train
six coaches went out to the grounds
and in the afternoon at o'clock an
other train of ten we'll filled coaches
again went out, arriving at the picnic
grounds at o'clock, several stops hav-
ing been made on the way.
The morning was spent by the pic
nickers in rambling about the place
among the beautiful and picturesque
scenery, as we'll as was the afternoon
by those so inclined, but the majority
whiled away the afternoon hours on
the large dancing platform to the
beautiful strains of music from the
string band in attendance. The re-
nowned cave in close proximity to the
picnic grove was visited by hundreds
of the variety loving and adventure
some eXcursionists during the day and
was pronounced a wonderful freak of
natures work by all.
The day passed off quietly and peace
fully and everyone seemed to thorough
ly enjoy the affair, the only hitch be-
ing last night on the return when the
the train did not leave until $3.50, an
hour and a half later than scheduled
time, bringing the crowd to town at IL
o'clock. This delay was due solely to
the railroad, so Mr.. Chas. Zoller, the
manager of the affair stated, they hav-
ing been ordered to to have a locomo-
tive ready to bring the crowd in at 8
o'clock, an order which they failed to
comply with.
While the train was standing on the
track about $50 o'clock, the coaches
being filed with ladies, a gang of tough
boys entered one of the coaches and
insulted some ladies with some very
ungentlemanly language. Mr.. Zoller
heard it and entered the coach and was
not many minutes in clearing the hood
lums out. This was the only disagree
able occurrence throughout the entire
day.
For the successful management Of
the affair Mr. ZOller and Rev. Ulrich
deserve the praise.

BAD OFFICIALS.
Joseph Doe and Others Accused of De-
frauding Uncle Sam.


frauding Uncle Sam.
New York, May IA Washington
special to the Tribune says that Assis-
tant Secretary of War, Joseph b Doe.
of GAINESVILLE, Wis, was practically dis
missed by Secretary Lamont. The
Tribune says:
There was considerable comment
concerning the unusual act of Presi-
dent Mckinley in accepting Does res
ignation before the selection of his sue
cessor. Does resignation was accept
ed at once and his desk was vacant I'M
til Mr.. Meiklejohn, of Nebraska, was
appointed This was due to a hint
from Col. Lamont who had practically
made a vacancy in the office several
months before. AS early as he was
able to find the time Secretary Alger
began an investigation of the official
conduct of Mr.. Doe, but soon discovered
that Secretary Lamont had anticipat-
ed him and the only result of his in
uuiries was the dismissal of Richard
j. Whitton, also from GAINESVILLE, who
was brought to Washington by Doe
and served as his private secretary for
two years or more.
About a year ago Assistant Secre-
tary Doe began to issue orders to the
division of supplies and other branches
of the department that caused consid-
cradle gossip among the clerks and to
make requisition for articles for his
personal use which had not been before
purchased from public funds. He con-
tinued to do so during the frequent alb
sences of Secretary Lamont until after
the election in November when that
sort of business became so active as to
attract general attention and within
a few weeks the gossip reached the
ears of the head of the department,
Secretary Lamont, and he at once made
investigation. He called before him
the clerks in the supply division, the
storekeeper and other officials of the
department and secured statements
from them which required Doe and
Whitton to make restitution to the
amount of nearly $1,000 in cash and to
surrender to the department consid-
cradle amount of property which in
Mr.. Lamonts opinion belonged to the
government.

R1OTING IN BUENOs AYREs.

New York, May "a dispatch to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says that
serious rioting is reported from San
Luis province and the government has
sent troops TO preserve order. The out
break is the result of great restitution
and suffering in the province and the
delay of Congress in extending aid to
the sufferers.
The rioting is confined to the labor
ing classes. A mob was formed and
open threats were made against the
governor of the province. AS a result
of the critical situation Congress at
once decided to extend aid to the suf-
ferers but in spite Of this the rioting
continues.
The government has decided to in
crease the special commission appoint
ed to settle the boundary dispute with
Chile in order that the commission will
be able 10 finish its labors by next
year.
In answer to the demand of sugar
growers, Congress has decided to al

UP TO DATE GUNS

New York, May "a dispatch to the
Journal from Berlin says:
When the minister of war few days

eral hundred millions of marks for
new quick-firing guns, giving as rea-
sons that France was armed in a sim
liar manner, the question was debated
in the press whether in view of the
large deficiency, the amount asked for
could be granted.
Now it becomes apparent that a
short time ago several regiments of
field artillery were provided secretly
with the -quick-firing guns. For
instance, the sixth regiment of artiI4

Leon and a like number in Granada.

All this activity may or may not re-
suit in hostilities.

rising. The leaders, it is said, are men
who have been exiled from Nicaragua.
