Vancouver, Aug. a.-The steamer

massacre has been received at Sydney.
Not long ago n great number Of Aus
tralians, a huge army of unemployed,
were attracted by stories of fabulous
gold panning at Papua, and other in
terror new Guinea points. Their ranks
had been terribly thinned by murder,
starvation and the fatal swamp feyers.

who helped a white man was marked
for the tomahawk. A remnant of
these white pioneers went to Vanapa
for a final effort to make their for
tunes and return, Their stores gave
out and for months they lived on
"damper' and tea. The natives in the
vicinity claimed to have been lily
treated by the government IN the way
of scant stores and decided to teach
the government Il lesson by massacre
ing all the whites within reach. The
whites were raided at night and put
to death with ~tomahawks being easy
victims. After long suffering they
were sick and annotated, and could
not defend themselves. Many Massa-
cres have occurred in the same place
previously but the government has
never attempted to punish the muir

to Prevent Transfer OF

Chicago, Aug. 3.-The roads of the
Western Passenger association have
adopted a new plan for the handling OF
excursion tickets. and Its use has been
so satisfactory THAI they will keep it up.
The new method consists in perfor-
ating the ticket with L word wholly UNI

date upon which the ticket is executed
for the return of the passage. This
word Is changed every day, the brokers
being ignorant of 1t, and consequently
of the limit of the ticket and are there.
fore unwilling to handle them. The
plan was tried In handling the business
of the National Educational ASSOCIATION
at its convention in Milwaukee, and was
the most satisfactory plan ever tried
by any of the roads.
A meeting of the Chicago-St. Paul
lines has been called for next Tuesday
afternoon. Two important matters will
come up for consideration, the first be.
ing a discussion of the recent depart.
ures from the agreement reached by the
executive officers of these roads at a
meeting held in the latter part of June.
The a will be had in the hone that a
candid discussion OF the situation will
remoye some of the troubles which have
existed between The lines. The other
matter will be a strong effort by the as,
ISOLATION lines to get the roads which
are now on the outside to become mem
bers of the association.

THROWS MANY OUT OF WORK
A New Machine for Blowing Fruit
Jars Causes the Discharge OF
Many blowers.

Many Blowers.
Muncie, Ind, Aug. 4.-Ball Brothers,
the worlds most extensive fruit jar
manufacturers, confess that they are
soon to equip their factories with ma
chimes to blow jars, and that notices
have been sen to 200 blowers that
their services will not be needed dur
ing the season that begins September
first.
Only one of the big factories owned
by the company here will be equipped
with the machines this season, but
next year, the old process of blowing
will be entirely discarded by this firm,
and several hundred other blowers
who make from SIS to $40 per day, will
be out of work.
Frank c. Ball, president of the com
pany, stated that the introduction of
the machine was not for the purpose
OF cutting Off heads of the men, but
that it would make Il much better jar
and at such a cheap cost that jars
could take the place of the tin can and
~earthenware jar and that the firm
could spread out TO all parts of The
world and in Il short time more than
double the number of employees and
that this jar would find many new
fields for usage.
The patent for blowing glass was
purchased by Ball Brothers from the
United States Glass Company, and the
firm has invented a machine for max
ing fruit jars and have it patented.
The machine is to glass blowers the
same as was the sewing machine, spin,
ming jenny, the self harvester and
other revolutionizing machines. and
promises 80 disrupt one of the strong
est labor organizations in the country.

mence This Week.

Yanllton, Aug. A. III. Weber OF
Sioux City, assistant engineer in the
Office of Captain Sanford, who is in
charge of the improvements to be
made to the Missouri river at and
above Sioux City, has made n thorough
inspection of the river opposite this
city. Mayor Blatt ascertained that
the appropriation of $32, 900 for the
was ready to be expended and that if
layed until fall there was a possibility
of the appropriation %reverting to the
United States treasury, and he imme-
diately sent for the engineer TO come
forward and lay plans for the prelim-
mary work.
Mr.. Weber devoted two days last
week, to the inspection of both sides
of the river and found that the chan
mel had changed somewhat since the
government survey was made two
years ago. On the Nebraska side,
nearly opposite Yankton, the river has
cut in nearly 400 feet, there being very
little change on the Dakota side, how
ever. The cutting on the Nebraska
side will make it more expensive to
complete the work.
The plans for the work stipulate
that a row of j%etties, to be construct
ed of Sioux Falls stone, shall be put
in about one mile above Iankton on
the Nebraska side of the river which
will force the current against the sand
bars on this side, cutting them out
throughout the length of the river in
front of this city. a great deal de-
ponds upon the construction of the
proposed Iankton and Norfolk rail
road bridge. If the bridge is built it
will be necessary to begin the con
%struction of jetties above the bridge
site. The mayor has been requested
to discover definitely before August
IS, whether or not the bridge is to be
built, and to send a delegation of cit
liens to Sioux City before September
/, with full particulars. 1t is stated
that in case work upon the bridge
should not begin, work upon the river
improvements will start September
/. The government has decided to
proceed at once or not at all.
The contract for remodeling the
new Catholic state hospital here has
been awarded to Rostad & Ludwig OF
Nermillion.
Rev. e. M. Williams, of the congre-
gational church in this city, will pre-.
sent to the city council a petition for
the closing of the temperance billiard
halls on Sunday. Should this petition
have the desired effect, it will cause
n suspension of all business done here
on Sunday, us a proprietor of one OF
the billiard halls says if he is com.
PEELED to close, he will make it Il point
to see that every business house oper
Sunday in Yankton shall be closed
also.

Cleveland, Aug. 4.-Henry Elliott
aas sent a scathing letter to the Plain
Dealer, regarding Lord Salisbury's
seal conference supplementing one
Of q few days ago to Assistant
Secretary Day. He wrote:
I'm the foreign dispatches Sunday
morning there appeared an entirely
misleading account of the fur sealing
conference which Lord Salisbury has
finally, at the urgent personal appeal
of John Hay, authorized. j protest
against this studied attempt to deceive
the people as TO the scope and extent
of that conference and inference
which may be drawn, that it is to be
of the slightest gain to the American
case.
I'm the first place we have had an
official and curt refusal from Lord Sal
isbury to reopen this seal question in
any way affecting the existing rules
and regulations as established by the
Paris tribunal in 1898. This refusal
made April u last, and nothing has
taken place since which has altered
Salisbnry's stand. Fosters trip to
London, only strengthened the Brit
ish premier's hand.
"Now what warrant is there for this
enormous story of what the fur seal
conference is to compass at Washing
ton next October? Simply this, moth
ing more. John Hay, to break the
force of Fosters humiliating failure
to reopen the question and that
'shirtstove' letter of May 10 which
begged Salisbury to let the British
naturalists, who have been studying
seals on our islands since 1891, meet
our naturalists at Washington next
fall and compare their biographical
notes as to these animals, all reference
to revision of existing regulations tc
be expressly barred from the discus
sion.
salisbury has permitted this; that
is all of it; and it is simply nothing
for the American case, and as to agree
ment even as to the biographical notes
that is very unlikely judging from
the work of Jordan on our side and
Thomas on the British last season.
calling in Russia and japanese
agents to this informal conference will
not have the slightest effect one way
or other on which British agents may
take and have taken. Canada con
trolls this matter absolutely; she has
an unusually easy task. as things now
are directed on our side; she will again
