Steam was rising in the gauges, and
the yacht was getting into her stride of
10 knots. She sped ont through the pas
sage and rolled in the trough Of the
glistening swells beyond. The crew Of
the warship stood to their guns, but
the officers were in a dilemma. These
pestilential Britishers always did make
such a row if any of their vessels were
fired on, and this apparently was a
yacht, though grotesqueIy unkempt and
tricked out with a black and white

70 CRUSH DYNAMITDRS
Cleveland Merchants Organized to
Produce Peaceful Conditions.
FUND TO FERRET OUT CRIMINALS

Anti-BoycottM Meeting Promptly Raises
Ten Thousand Dollar Fund-Tole-
dos Mayor Addresses the Strikers on
the UseIessness of the Boycott.
Cleveland, Aug. 10.-Five hundred
business men Of Cleveland held an
anti-boyoott meeting yesterday after
noon in the chamber Of commerce
rooms, and fund of $4,000 was
started to ferret out the criminals who
are dynamiting cars and creating dis
cord in the city. In few minutes
time not less than 5000 was subscrib-
ed and the rest Of the amount was
fully made up today.
The meeting was largely attended,
and it was a representative one In
every respect. Millions OF dollars were
represented IN the men present. Wig
orous speeches denouncing the boycott,
strike disturbances and disorder were
made by J. G. w. Cowles and James II.
Hoyt. In their addresses they called
attention to the lawless acts which
have terrorized the public and upheld
the course of Mayor Farley in his
measures to suppress disorder, and
said 1t was time for reputable citizens
to unite and restore peace. quiet and
safety to the city. A committee of
five was then selected to bring about
lawful conditions. A demand for a
United States army military post in
Cleveland was unanimously made and
steps were taken to increase the po-
lice force Of the city.
At the strikers picnic held at Scenic
Park yesterday Mayor S. H. Jones, of
Toledo, was the guest of honor and
orator of the day. In his address the
mayor said:
I'VE are in an epidemic of labor
troubles, strikes, lockonts and boy
colts, affecting widely separated por-
lions of our country, and as widely
diversified Industrial interests disturb
the land, the condition may be fifty
characterized as one of industrial
civil war. The boycott is cruel and
unjust weapon in many ways. Boy
cett is war. and both sides have a
right to fight. I am not here with
plan for setting the difficulty in Cleve-
land alone. l am here to urge to plead
for, to propose remedy that is a
sovereign and final remedy, not only
for street railway strikes, but for all
kinds of difficulties with labor in every
sort Of public utility. There is such
a remedy, and only one. The remedy
may be found in absolute municipal
ownership, operation and control. In
short, the fundamental cause of the
trouble in Cleveland today is found in
the fact that few men are granted
that right of ownership in class Of
property that should never under any
circumstances become private possess
sion, but should be property of the
whole people. I am an apostle of
peace, and emphatically disavow any
belief in war under any circumstances.
I do not believe that any good thing
was ever accomplished through war
that could not have been better done
by methods of peace"
Mayor Jones held a political con-
ference with strike leaders and local
agitators in the American House in the
afternoon, at which he decided to
leave the Cleveland end of his cam
paign as an independent candidate for
governor of Ohio entirely in the hands
of the street railway strikers.

The West Indies Hurricane.

st. Thomas, D. w. l.. Aug. 10.-Later
adyices from st. Kits said that on
Monday afternoon a very severe hur-
ricane, with velocity of 70 miles, de-
stroyed about 200 small houses in the
town and did considerable damage to
the estates. No fatalities were report
ed. Antigua also suffered severely in
damage to estates and buildings in the
towns. There were few fatalities.
Later reports from st. Croix increase
the amount of damage done there.
Nearly every estate has been wrecked,
the large buildings In the towns have
been unroofed, stock has been killed
and a minimum of II deaths has oc-
Cured among the laborers.

STRIKERS FIRE ON A TRAIN.

One Negro Woman Killed and Four
Other Persons Wounded.
Marion, Ills, July Yesterday, as
the train on the Illinois Central, car
rying a coach load Of negroes from
Pana to Brush mines, one mile north
of Carterville, stopped at the Fredonia
mine, three miles northwest of Carter
Vile, a large number Of striking union
miners opened fire on the negroes.
killing one woman and wounding
about 20 other persons. Before the
bloody work could be carried further
the train pulled out of Johnston City
When it reached q point one mile
north of Brush mine the negroes were
unloaded and marced across the coun-
try to their destination. 1t is Is said
that majority of the rioters were ne
groes, whom Brush brought here from
the south about year ago, and have
since Joined the union.
There is great excitement In the
neighborhood of the Brush mine, and a
battle between the working negroes,
who are well armed, and the strikers,
who are on the ground ready for a
fight, may be precipitated at any mo-
ment. Superintendent Brush wired
for Sheriff Gray Immediately after the
riot, asking for protP elton. The sherih
has gone to the scene, but he took no
deputies with him. He has no guns to
arm them.
A majority of Brush's miners have
been on strike for MONTH. though
many of his imported negroes have re-
NAMED loyal to him. The trouble is
the same old one, a question of wages.

ANOTHER STRIKE AT HOMESTEAD.

Leaders Assert That 1t WIN Rival the
Contest Of 1909.
Plttsburg, July LA strike was in
sugurated at the Homestead steel
works yesterday which may rival the
famous battle between capital and Ia
Dor which was fought on that famous
spot seven years ago. The discharge OF
is men at the plant during the past
three weeks is at the bottom OF the
trouble. These men were dismissed
because of their affiliation with the
newly formed lodge of the Amalga-
mated Association. ,..
The strike, OF whatever proportions
1t may be, was precipitated when .
committee of nine men, who sought
the reinstatement of the discharged
men, were also discharged for the same
reason. Superintendent Corey Inform
ed the men that no organized men
would be retained, though 1t became
necessary to close down the entire
plant.
AT q secret meeting Of the men held
on Thursday It was decided to stand BY
the organization, and In the event OF
the discharge of any Of their mem
bers all would strike.
When the nine men were discharged
they were not permitted to return to
the mill, and the walkout was not i'm
mediately carried out, but eventually
one of the men gained access to the
workmen, with the result that 1900
men have quit and all departments are
more or less crippled.
"And by noon today" said the presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Association.
"the big works will be closed as tight
as in 1892. The skilled men are all
organized" he continued, "and the
laborers are entirely in sympathy with
the movement"

The TilcAsh.

Many are the mysteries OF the seas,
and of the strange life Of the unknowa-
bic DEPTHS occasional interesting ghmpses
are obtained which must set one wonder
ing what remarkable changes are ever
going on of which we know nothing.
Take the case of the tile6sh, which were
at one time very plentiful and source
of great profit to the fishermen Of the
American Atlantic coast Suddenly they
became so scarce that to catch one was a
rarity, and soon after the sea was found
to be strewn with dead tiletish that COW
cred an area of ITO miles by rs miles.
There must have been hundreds and
hundreds of millions of fish floating dead
upon the surface of the sea. An esti-
mate that was made by those who looked
into the matter placed the dead at about
1,9OO,O00.OOO. They would have aver
aged ten pounds each.
But what strange fatality could have
oyertaken this one particular fish and
caused such a terrible destruction could
not be even satisfactorily conjeetured.
For ten years it was impossible to hnd a
tilefish, at my rate none was taken.
But there mus. have been very few es-
capped in some way, for three years ago
a few specimens were taken, and last
wear few others were discovered by
vessel that was making cruise In the
interests Of science. Quite recently
sufficient number have been taken to in
dictate that they must be multiplying
quite rapidly and returning to their old
haunts. The hope is entertained that
they will increase, SO that they will again
afford source of income to the fisherman
and an important food supply.
