Pacific shops here is becoming somewhat
brighter This morning the strikers were
notified that unless they returned to work
by 1 o'clock this afternoon they would be

about one-third of the usual force of ma

men who have homes and interests here will
do so. Superintendent of Motive Power Nc

IN THE BIG SIXTH DISTRICT
Returns Thus Far Received Point to
the Election of Neville to
Succeed Greene.

In the Sixth congressional district COM
plete returns by counties have been received
from eighteen out of thirty counties COM
prising the district. Partial returns have
been received from the missing ones suf-
ficient to show that there is no material
change in the trend of the voting and
those reported therefore indicate faithfully
the complexion of all. On the face of the
returns received. Neville has majority of
1887. The missing counties last year
gave Greene a majority of 1890. No ma
terial increase is shown. in the vote of the
district, so far as reported, such as is evi-
denced in the other portions of the state.
The probabilities are that Neville's majority
will be approximately 1000. though he claims
5000. Following is a tabulated statement of
the vote so far as received, with compari-
son on the vote cast for Brown and Greene
in 1898:

regiment, has written to friends in this
city that he was shown about $14 worth
of gold which a Filipino dentist had panned
out with an old earthern vessel from one of

The dentist stated that he knew where to
find a number of quartz bearing veins of
gold ore near Manila Some of them had
been worked by the natives. One place,
especially, was very rich, but it could not
be mined, because of the great quantity of
water in the hole. The soldier learned that
the water had been baled out with a
bucket, the first man passing it to a middle
man and he to the third on top. The SOL

Teachers worthy of Their Hire.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Nov. 9.-(Special)-
Surprise has been occasioned by the an
nouncement that there are in this (Minne-
haha) county twenty country schools which
are closed because of the inability of the
school officers to procure teachers. There
is not shortage of teachers, but it appears
that some Of the school authorities believed
considerable could be saved to the taxpayers
by reducing the salaries of their school
teachers, and the result is that prices have
been reduced to such an extent that COM
petent teachers are unable to accept the
positions. 1t is probable the school boards
will have to raise the salaries to the former
standard before the schools can again be
opened.

Aggie and jamie Gallant and Daisy
Perry. The girls had wandered along the
sand bars about the shore for several
hours and before they noticed 1t the tide

mediately stBrted to wade ashore. but

Mahan's Argument I'm
assailable.
This Did Not Prevent His Being
Voted Down.

London, June %. The correspondent Of
the Times ar The Hague says: To-day
there was sharp controversy between
the Russian and American naval dele-
gates. Captain Mahah asked why the
employment Of gas should be interdicted
while the more cruel wholesale dsstru O.
tion Of human life aimed at by the cru
ployment of submarine torpedo boats
should be permitted. "A shell, charged
with asphyxiating gas, ne ed not neces-
sariiy destroy human life, he said. amy
more than chloroform, but only place
men hors de combat for time; whereas
a submarine boat. stsalthily approaching
under cover OF darkness. might send a
thousand sleeping men to watery grave.
Why forbid retail asphyxiation by air
and permit wholesale asphyxiation by
wAtsri'
"A Russian delegate replied that the
men might bs picked mp when this ship
sank. Captain MahRn retorted by recall
ing the case Of the British warship Vic
toria, where as he pointed out, In high
ly disciplined fleet In broad daylight and
smooth waters, many hundreds OF men
were drowned, 30 sudden was the catas-
trophe and SO short the available time TO
pick up the men. He reminded the com .
mission also that this happened when an
immense heet was close together and
intent ON doing its utmost TO save life.
Captain Mahan's arguments were
logical and unassailable, but, this did
not prevent the commission voting them
down." ~
