NO NEWS IN CHICAGO.
Publication Of Daily Papers stIll Suspended
by Managers-May Resume Wednesday
Typographical Union Interested.

CHICAGO, July 5.--None OF the Chi
cago newspapers will resume publica-
tion before Wednesday morning. The
publishers had made all arrangements
for resumption to-day, with papers Of
four pages in size, to be increased day
by day as rapidly as practicable.
Yesterday evening the president
OF the International Typograph-
ical union and the district or
ganizer waited on the publishers
and made strong request that publi-
cation be deferred "a hours longer,
urging as a reason that II the issue
had TO be met by their union last night
there might be trouble about observ-
Ing their contract obligations with the
publishers. They were very sanguine
that their union would keep to its con-
tract and notquit because Of the stereo.
typers strike, but wished an opportuni-
ty to canvass and discuss the matter
to-day. The publishers assert that
stereotypers are coming into the city
from various points in very gratifying
numbers and are confident that they
will be well equipped for issuing pa
pers slightly reduced In size by
Wednesday morning.

EXCURSION STEAMER SUNK.
Struck by squall Near Beverly, Mass., and
Goes Quickly to the Bottom-Over
Dozen Persons Drowned.

BEVERLY, Mass, July 5.-The small
excursion steamer, Surf City, with
about 80 passengers on board, while
half way over from Salem Willows to
her wharf here, distance Of two
miles, was struck by terrific squal
about six o'clock last night and cap
sized. OF those on board large ma
jority are believed to have been res.
cued by boats from the Salem and Bev-
erly shores, but no fewer than six
bodies had been recovered at dark and
as it is known that many rushed into
the cabin before the squall 1t is
thought that twice as many bodies are
still confined there.

Chicago Donates Money That Would Have
Been spent for Celebration to Rela-

CHICAGO, July 5.-'The people Of Chi

ner Of celebrating Independence day.
A Week ago everything was we'll ad-
vanced for one of the largest pyro-
technic displays in the history Of this
city Everything had been arranged
on an elaborate scale. Speeches were
to have been made by ex-President
Harrison, United States Senator
Mason and numerous other prom
inent men. All the preparations came
to sudden stop several days ago when
the Army and Navy league sent their
missionaries among the people and
argued that the money expended for
fireworks and other accessories could
be put to better use by donating the
money to the support of the families
of the soldiers fighting before Santi-
ago. As result the treasury Of the
Army and Navy league has been en-.
riched by some thousands of dollars.
No organized celebration was there.

WILL FROWN ON GERMANY.
AuthOritive Statement That Other Powers
Will Prevent Kaiser's Interference
In American Plans at Manila.

PARIS, July 5.-The alleged good
faith Of Germany in the matter Of the
seizure Of the Philippines, which, it is
said, the Washington government does
not doubt, is not viewed on the conti-
nent In a manner which is praisewor-
thy to the kaiser. In fact, the belief
is that Germany has ulterior designs.
The attitude Of the other pow.
ers, however, it is believed, will
hold the war lord in check. An
Italian statesman in London is credited
with saying that he did not believe any
European power would raise a hand
to prevent the bombardment Of Ma
nila by American ships. Any inter.
ference, he states, would be viola.
tion of the laws Of neutrality. BY
such step the power interested would
be regarded as an ally Of Spain and
would be equivalent to declaration
Of war. Not power In Europe, he
says, would dare to take the step.
