Rioting Resumed.

Oshkosh, Wis, Aug. 6.-fioting has
been resumed by the striking wood
workers here on account OF the sash
and door manufacturers trying to ope-
rate with non-union labor. Yesterday
the strikers dubbed and stoned non
union workmen trying to reach the
Morgan mill. Thirty policemen were
sent to reinforce the small squad on
duty there. When the police arrived
the crowd set on them with stones.
The police used their clubs freely and
the street was finally cleared at the
expense of many broken heads and a
score of arrests, including nine
women. The non-union crew reached
the mill and the factory was started.

FUELING WARSHIPS.
How Commodore Bradford Keeps the
Bunkers of Our Great Ocean
Fighters Full of Coal.

One of the greatest triumphs of the
war which has been hidden from pub
lie observation has been the work of
the several bureaus of the navy de-
partment in furnishing supplies and
equipments for the troops, says
Washington dispatch in the Chicago
Record. AS Secretary Long remarked
il a recent interview, their duties have
been quite as valuable as those of the
fleet in Cuban waters or the harbor
of Manila. But for their foresight and
executive ability the ships might have
been helpless for the lack of fuel, am
munition and food. The superiority
IF our naval organizatio and the abil-
ity of our bureau chiefs has been dem

A War Cloud Gathers.

London, Aug, G.-There is great un-
easiness here, in view of the Chinese
situation, which is regarded as bring
ing an open conflict between Great
Britain and Russia within measurable
distance, and it is universally felt that
the Marquis of Salisbury's inverte-
bracy in yielding to Russian aggres-
siveness is responsible for the dan
gerous complication, which can only
be overcome by the prompt and most
firm opposition to Russian aggl esslons.

bothered daily by the question Of tints
submitted to him by board on war
ship color, when Schley remarked that
he did not care what color his ships
were painted so long as he had ships.
Paint them red if you like" said he,
"or paint them black, but let me have
them. Color is immaterial."
