CLEVELAND STRIKE,
No Outbreaks Of Violence in the
Ohio City Yesterday.

CLEVELAND, July 80. - Notwith-
standing the fact that big crowds were
upon the streets to-day, there were no
outbreaks of violence and apparently
very little attention was paid to the
Big Consolidated cars. which ran on all
lines on schedule time. On the South
Side and out Broadway to Newburg the
cars were run practically empty, but
the East Side lines. especially those
running to the parks, were we'll patron

Adjutant General Axline, speaking of
the fear of the people to ride on the
cars in certain sections of the city at
night, said to-day: This state of af-
fairs is likely to continue for several
weeks or months, unless a settlement
is reached. The only way to put a
stop to it is to declare martial law"
The only exciting incident on the
South Side was the hold-up of an ice
cream wagon by crowd of soldiers,
who took from it a four-gallon freezer
They offered money for the cream, but
the driver refused to accept money,
saying he could not sell it. The SOL
diers say they ordered the ice cream
several days ago, and the dealer prom
ised to deliver it, but did not do So,
probably because of the boycott

Evidences That the Vallejo Citizen
Met With Foul Plav.

OAKLAND, July Bottle remains Of
Nicholas Furlong, a we'll known resi-
dent of Vallejo, were recovered from
the bay near Port Costa to-day. He
had been missing since last Tuesday.
Peculiar circumstances surrounding
his disappearance ana marks of vio-
lence found on the body point to the
theory that Furlong met with foul play
Coroner Curry has the case in hand,
and is being assisted in his investiga-
tions by the peace officers of Contra
Costa County.
Furlong has been a we'll known resi-
dent of Vallejo for fifteen years. The
body has been in the water for four
days, and the theorists contend that if
death had resulted from drowning the
body would not have f1oated so soon
The only outward mark of violence is
deep cut on the head. which looks as
If it might have been made with a
blunt instrument. So far the officers
have nothing to support their murder
theory beyond meager reports of the
quarrel between Furlong and several
strangers at Port Costa on Monday

Reasons to Believe That Fire Was

SAN DIEGO, July 3O.-From Lee

city, news was received to-day that on
Friday afternoon the charred remains
of Jacob ]. Veitinger, an old German,
We're found in the ruins of his CABIN,
and there are reasons to believe that
fire was used as means of concealing
murder
Veitinger, who was a veteran of the
war of the rebellion. having served on
board the old gunboat Philadelphia liv-
ed by himself in his little cabin, and
not much was known of him. The
cabin was burned early Friday morn
ing, but it was not until afternoon that
the body was found. 1t was too much
charred to enable an examination to
disclose whether wounds or IRE were
the cause of death, but it was learned
that just before the fire one Rosario, a
drunken Indian, had been seen hang
ing around the place and since the fire
he has not been seen.
Another circumstance that points to
foul play is the fact that of two shot
guns which the old man possessed only
one was found in the ruins, the new
one being missing.
Officers are looking for Rosario and
the affair will be further investigated.

American Delegation One Of the
Most Useful Elements.

LONDON, July 31.-All the morning

work was, of course, the definite unan-
imous assent of the assembled States
to arbitration as a substitute for war.
The Pope's letter too, must have an

ment in his day but 1t does save him
from that restless rafting around that
is the very undoing of successful eff
fort, and it does impart to him the
quiet Of spirit which increases a mans
power. He even rejoices at being
awake to the fact that things in his
day are not all that they ought to be:
for in those very defects he discovers
reason for his own being and for his
own working; and he is glad.
The New Man, as a toiler, sees that
the most miserable of all men are those
who have no cause for exertion anu
who live off the accumulations of a
generation better than they. He COM
miserates parasites for they know
none of the independence that comes
from tolls and triumphs, from rebuffs

that fortune seems sometimes to cast
everything before one and only husks
before another. Yet these things trou-

that the proportion who succeed with

not be considered in his calculation.
and, second. that there is no success

The New Man, as a toiler, does not

conscious, too that no one man can do
all the varied work of the world, goes
quietly and earnestly about the one
thing above all others that he can do.
He makes no violent efforts to attract
