Unite to Cut Prices on Underground
Gotham Tunnel Work.

New York, March IA new labor or
ganization, known as the Excavators
union, regularly incorporated with 10000
members, is about to enter into a com
bat to control the mental work connect
ed with the building of the underground
tunnel. This union opposed to the la
borers union protective society, which
has 10000 members and is conducted by
men who have directed labor move
ments for many years.
The point of difference between the
two organizations lies in the fact that
the laborers union protective society de-
mands 30 cents an hour for work and
double pay for overtime, while the ex-
cavators union wants only 25 cents an
hour and 2712 cents an hour overtime
The excavators union is composed al
most entirely of Italians.

Famous Japanese Volcano the Scene
of an Explosion.

Yokohama, Feb. %, (via Victoria, B.
c. March O.-Mount Asama, one of the
principal volcanoes in activity of Japan,
which has of late been showing unusual
signs of disturbance was yesterday the
scene of a terrific explosion, followed
by a continuous uproar, which at the
time of the latest kilograms, had not
yet ceased. There has been of late a
series of slight earthquake shocks in
Yokohama and vicinity, and predictions
of serious disturbance have been rife
among the old residents.
Very unexpectedly the United States
battleship Oregon arrived in the harbor
last Tuesday evening. She is undoubt-
eddy the most impressing warship that
ever visited this port and elicits adj
miration from the Japanese as well as
from foreigners.

RUSSIA NOT READY,

New York, March IA dispatch to
the Herald from Yokohama says:
No one of the, legations in Toxic nor
any of the Japanese officials will ac-
knowledge that war with Russia is i'm
minent. It is well known in diplomatic
circles that at present Japan and Rus
STA are working secretly to obtain con-
cessions in Corea against other nations
but this does not mean that a clash be-
tween Russia and Japan is not coming
in the future.
Japan is the only serious obstacle in
the way of the Russian eastern policy.
Japan must have COrea which al
ready is flooded with Japanese coolies
who are really soldiers.
Russian transports pass through
Nagasaki constantly loaded with troops
for Port Arthur.
The Japanese common people have
great hatred for Russia and would well
come war without counting the cost but
they have little power.
Japan has not money for war and
Russia will yield to Japan as long as

used effectively for nine months.
Rumors of an impending war origina-
ted in Shanghai, not in Japan, and were
based on CONGRATULATIONS, not on facts.
Russia is now changing her represen-
tatiVes throughout Japan and would
not do SO if she expected an immediate
outbreak.
AS during the last three years, a crisis
resultingN in war might arise at any
moment but for the present it is not at
hand, and in my opinion, Russia can
prevent it until she is ready.
