May Prevent Laying of Cornerstone.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-A formal strike
of bricklayers and stonemasons em-
ployed on the new federal building was
ordered yesterday. The foundation for
the cornerstone, which is to be laid by
President Mckinley during the fall fes-
tival in October, was built last Sunday.
The work was done by union masons,
but under subcontract from John R.
Pierce, who has the contract for the
stone work of the federal building. Few
men are affected, but unless the stri Ike
is settled it will probably prevent the
laying of the cornerstone.

the Philippine situation he had this to
say; IF some people believe that the

desire to give up what our soldiers and

LULL IN BOER CRISIS.
English Press Not So Insistent
on War.
CABINET COUNCIL IS CALLED.

Believed British Plan viii Now BE to
Delay Opening of Hostilities in Order to
Give Transports Bearing Troops Time
to Reach South Africa.
LONDON, Sept. 2O.-Summonses We're
issued late last evening for a cabinet
council, which it is believed will be held
Friday. This is regarded as the result
of the visit of the premier, Lord Sails
bury, to London, whittier he came yes
tcrday, remaining at the foreign Office
from 80 to $3.50 p. III. Mr.. Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies
was present in the building at the
same time and as Il private doorway
connects the offices, it is presumed that
joint deliberations.
The lack Of all excitement in official
circles bears evidence to the deliberate
manner III which the highest officials
are handling the crisis. There is not
by any means certainty that the cabi-
net council will adopt extreme meas
ures i'll spite of the uncompromising ma
ture Of the Boer reply. This delibera-
ton on the part of the government is
interpreted not only in London, but in
other capitals as a desire on the part OF
Great Britain to gain time, while the
transports are hurrying to Cape Colony
The Bcrhncr Nachtrichen comment
ing Oh this today, says: "Thc special
call is only meant to deceive the Beers.
When England feels equal to the task
of facing the Beers this peaceful tone
will give way to Il blatant cry for war. :"

patches daily regarding the interna-

which a short time ago seriously an
nounced that number Of Americans
had gone mad because they could not
discover the Shamrock's lines, today
pictures the whole Of New York in a
similar condition, saying the Americans
are the most emotional people in the

made the people "frenzied with excite
ment"
The English people take all this liter

Leagues to Protect che Car Against
ReyoIutiontstS

A wild panic seized the court circles
a. st. Petersburg after Alexander's
death, says Prince Kropotkin In the
September Atlantic. Alexander III,
who, Notwithstanding his colossal stat
IRE and force, was not an o~ver-coura-
geous man refused to move to the Win
ter Palace, and retired to the palace OF
his grandfather, Paul l., at Gatchina. l
know that old building, planned as a
Vauban fortress, surrounded by moats,
and protected by watch towers from
the tops Of which secret ~staircases "a
to the emperor's study. / have seen
the trap doors in the study, for sud
denly throwing IN enemy on the sharp
rocks in the water underneath, n the
secret staircase leading to underground
prisons and to an underground passage
which opens on a lake. All the palaces
Of Paul had been built on a similar
plan. An underground gallery was dug
round the Anichoff palace Of Alexander
III, and was supplied with automatic
electric appliances to protect 1t from
being undermined by the revolution
lists. A secret league for the protection
of the car was started. Officers Of ali
grades were induced to undertake vol
untary spying in all classes Of society.
COmical scenes followed, of course.
Two officers, without knowing that they
both belonged to the leagues, would
entiCe each other into a disloyal con-
versation, during a railway journey,
and then proceed to arrest each other,
only to discover at the last moment
that their plans had been labor lost.
The league still exists in a more official
shape, under the name Of Okhrana
(Protection), and from time to time
frightens the present car with all sorts
Of ~concocted dangers" in order to
maintain its existence. A still o
secret organization, the Holy League,
was formed at the same time, under
the leadership If the brother OF the
car, Vladimir, for the purpose OF OPP
posing the revolutionists in different
ways, one Of which was to kill those
Of the refugees who were supposed TO
have been the leaders OF the late con-
spiracies. l was of this number. The
grand duke violently ~reproached the
officers OF the league for their coward
ice, regretting that there were non
among them who would undertake to
kill such refugees, and an officer, who
had been a page de chambre at the time
I was in the corps OF pages, was APP
pointed by the league to carry out this
particular work. %Skobeleff. the hero
of the Turkish war, was asked to join
this league, but he blankly refused.

Theory OF LubricatInr Ola.

In a lecture on The Relations OF
Physics to the Mechanical Arts" Prof.
Able stated that Prof. Reynolds was
the first to show fabrication Is simply
a case Of the flow of a viscous fluid
through a narrow channel. When the
journal presses on its bearing, the in
termediate space is probably 1-l0OOOth
OF an inch in thickness. This space
being filled with oil constitutes the
thin film that converts the rubbing and
tearing Of the metals into the sliding
and rolling Of liquid molecules, like
myriads of minute steel friction balls.
The results Of the difficult researches
In molecular physics of Stoker, Kirch-
on. and Helmholtz have thus a direct
application to the lubricating action OF
oils.
