A HAPPY FAMILY
Which Didn't Agree Like Little
Birds

BOSTON, April There was an excit-
ing struggle at the Zoo in this city yester-
day between Rudolph Canoz, one of the
trainers, Brut;is, a Eubian lion, ami Jack,
Siberian wolf. Brutus triumphed COM
pletely. Jack is dead and Canoz, the
trainer, is waiting for new clothes.
Brutus, Jack, another lion, a bear and a
Danish boar hound, made up perform
ing combination. During their exhibition
they got along with a semblance of good
nature.
Ill will must have been aroused some-
how, however, for as soon as the trainer
went into the cage in the morning (before
the zoo was open) to rehearse the group,
Brutus, with whom he used to wrestle,
sprang at him, tumbled him to the floor
and tore the sleeve off his coat. No
sooner had this happened than Jack
sprang for the lion. Brutus turned and
accepted the challenge. Canoz slid out
of the door forthwith. The bear backing
away, jammed himself between the bars.
The fight between the wolf and the lion,
unequal as were the animals, lasted ten
minutes. Then the lion fastened his teeth
into the throat of the wolf and closed his
jaws with all his strength. That was the
end. Tho men battered the lion with iron
bars, and discretion overcoming his thirst
for blood, he gave up and crawled into n
corner. The employees dragged Jack out,
but he died few minutes later.

STEEL MILLS CLOSED
FOUR THOUSAND MEN OUT OF
WORK
The Officers Claim That the Men
Broke Their Contracts and
Forced the Lockout

CHICAGO, April -Four thousand
men were forced out of employment by
the closing of the works of the Illinois
Steel company at South Chicago to-
night. This action Is taken by the off,
clals to head off strike. Rail straight
eners are responsible for the trouble. The
officials of the company claim that the
workmen broke their yearly contract
made few months ago. General Man
ager Walker says the strike is but a
dispute among the workmen and the
company has nothing to do with the mat
ter more than holding its employees to
their contracts 1t is said that the COM
pany has reduced the scale of wages
since the fall in price of rails, and the
question has been a much disputed
point ever since. Rail straighteners
have discussed 1t with the managers at
different times and threatened to quit
wokr, as they claimed they could not
make as much money as when the price
of rails was above 500.
President Collins, of the Amalgamat-
ed association, was called from Pitts

clals several days ago. He heard both
sides of the story and at last told the
workmen they must stand by their con-

Ing scale of wages refused to give a
positive answer at that time. Today
they held meeting among themselves
and made plans to stop work. The Of

the part of the men and at once ordered
the mill to be shut down. They at once

+ THE IDEAL CITY :
= ss-
i TETTsFs'S..rsSs.S.t.tsIET.ts.y

The ideal city was the subject OF re-
cent talk in Baltimore by Mr. C. Howard
Walker of Boston. A modern city, Mr..
Walker said Is a commercial center,
without picturesque characteristics, and
the only way to treat 1t is from monu-
mental basis. Its general plan should
be carefully designed, with few broad
and large avenues or boulevardS con-
Meeting open spaces upon whiSh its
important buildings should be placed.
The municipal buildings, in order to give
the effect of dignity and wealth, should
be grouped together on the axle of i'm
portant streets. To isolate these build
ings each by itself on narrow streets is
to lose the advantage of ones opportun-
ity. Wherever the open spaces are
planned the character of the buildings
should be better than those upon the
smaller streets. There should be har-
mony in the height of buildings, Mr..
Walker said. and harmony in the design
of buildings on the same block. The ex-
istence Of high buildings tends to de-
stroy the monumental character of the
city. In addition to the character Of the
building on the streets the placing of
buildings on squares needs to be con-
sidered.
Mr.. Walker continued: "In all foreign
cities, even of the third and fourth grade,
the theaters are placed in open squares,
with ample space in front of them. and
are made important ornaments to the
city. With but very few exceptions,
all theaters in America are put on mar
row streets, with unimportant fronts"
Other ways recommended for the beau
tifying of cities are through an intelli-
gent treatment of the park system, and
by the adornment of water fronts. where
available. In this last particular, Mr.
Walker said, American cities are la
mentally behind those of Europe.--New
York Evening Post.

CAN'T STAND
Forest Reserve Orders Will Be Abro-

-
WASHINGTON, April 7-Additional
light is thrown on the attitude of the
administration on the forestry reserva-
ton question by the stenographic re-
port of the conference of the national
forestry commission with Secretary
Bliss, Monday. Chairman Sargent of
the commission and Gen. Abbott were
particularly anxious that no action be
taken pending the commissions report
to be submitted in May. Secretary Bliss
expressed his idea as follows:
"Of course it Is impossible that these
reservations go as they are now. They
work a hardship to the people. People
must get timber and develop on the old
as well as new claims. The people de-
mand immediate relief in regard to va
rious industries. They seem to consider
that they are withdrawn from all their
business. If anything can be done to re-
lieve them by tho issuance of procla-
nation 1t should be done. They make
rather a serious claim upon us, which is
backed up by weighty influence, and it
seems almost necessary to do some-
thing"

MORE TROUBLE
Porto Rico Rises Against Spanish
Rule

NEW YORK, April S.-The Herald
today says: DR.. j. Julio Henna, presi-
dent of the Porto Rican revolutionary
committee of this city, has received pri-
vate information from the committee
on the island of Porto Rico to the effect
that the country has taken up arms
against the Spanish government, the
uprising having taken place in Yauco
and Adjutas. DIR. Henna, upon the re-
ceipt of the news, at once called to-
gether all the members of the committee
and held conference at his home. No
persons except members of the commit
tee were allowed to take part In the
meeting. The news of the uprising, 1t
was reported by a member, had also
been received in this city by a we'll
known banking firm, which has close
business connection with one of the
leading banking houses in Porto Rico.
When seen at late hour last night
DR.. Henna said: "The news. though
startling, did not surprise me, as the
latest mail adlvices from Porto Rico
brought US the information that the
situation there was becoming every day
more serious
According to our correspondence the
Spanish authorities there were acting
toward the people as II they were anx-
ious to precipitate matRrs by driving
them to desperation and to arms. The
information in the cablegram we re-
ceived, though important, is meager.
We expect full particulars by the next
mail Until then do not care to discuss
the matter. am willing to admit that
I have received a cablegram. 1t reads
as follows: Our country UP in arms.
Movement started at Yauco and ADJ
5untas.'"
All the members Of the committee are
very reticent after the meeting, but one
Of the more prominent, who would not
permit his name to be published, said:
1.-THE fact Is that the movement in Porto
Rico has started earlier than was ex-
pected and agreed upon. but no doubt
circumstances of which we know Moth
ing must have compelled our brethren
to take the step at once. What seems
strange is that the uprising did not take
place at Rio Grande, Carolina or Lu-
quesite, as the people in those districts
were better prepared for action"
Referring to the chances of success,
this member said: 1.-THE spirit of the
people is such at the present time that
6iry AAOVC1ucIlv " OVcTtuTOW the spanish
yoke is almost sure to succeed. The
Porto Ricans ere tired of Spanish mis-
rule. All we want is to raise an army
of 5000 men, and with such an army
we can carry every place on the island
by assault.
"The Spanish garrison at Porto Rico
10 composed of about 5000. of which 1000
are natives. The fleet which patrols
the Porto Rican coast is made up of
four vessels. OF these the gunboats
Indio, Ceyolo and Ponce de Leon are
of little use, as their speed Is very lin
tied. The cruiser Ysabel II is the only
vessel of any Importance. The popula-
ton of Porto Rico is about $4,000, Of
whom about Il, 900 are native Spaniards.
The country is certainly anxious for a
revolution to get rid Of an oppressive
