PRINTERS IN CONVENTION
Beginning of Annual National Ses-
 sion in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis. Aug. 1O.-Delegates from all parts of the United States and Canada have arrived in Milwaukee for the annual convention of the Interna- tional typographical union, which will be held here during the coming week. President Donnelly and Secretary Bramwood say the convention will be the largest the organization has ever held. Between 15O and 200 delegates will be present to legislate for the bulk of union printers throughout the Unit ed States. The most important busi- ness is expected to be the action on the report of President Donnelly, who will advise against the holding of any more international conventions except upon a referendum vote of the union. The purpose Is to save money, as the con- Vention costs from $3,0O0 to $5, 900 each year. The programme of entertainment provided by the local printers is an elaborate one. Tomorrow there will be an informal reception and smoker in honor of the visitors, and the after moons and evenings of the coming week will be given over to trolley rides and boat excursions to places of interest m and about Milwaukee. The convention will be called to order at 10 o'clock on Monday morning. and the first day will be consumed in formal addresses of welcome by prominent, men and the reports of officers

 "The hygienic conditions are greatly improved. The board of health has made a new city of Manila.

A tent quarantine has been established for plaques and other diseases. Native and Chinese inspectors have charge of their respective quarters, and have done af- ficient work.

Supplies are plentiful. even in the interior. although they have to be drawn for miles and miles in bull carts. Hospitals are established all over the island and in every garrison town. In the larger hospitals there are trained women nurses in addition to the hospital corps men. The conValescent hospital at Corregidor Island is a splen- did institution. beautifully situated on the crest of q hill. where it receives the cool breeZes of the China sea.
 "Dysentry is the most severe cause of most of the disability. It is chiefly caused by the drinking of polluted water, which is almost unavoidable in hot countries. Exposure of the abdo- men to the night air is another cause. Those wearing flannel coverings seldom get dysentery. The malarial levers are not so severe as the Cuban form: they are milder, but very common. In the swampy districts, however. they are severe. and often fatal, as in India and other tropical countries"

NICARAGUA IN A TURMOIL
Enforcement of Arbitrary Educational
 Decrees Works Hardship.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 1O-A re- markable state of affairs existed in Nicaragua at the date of sailing of the last steamer. The Managua govern ment, which has so frequently made it. self obnoxious by its arbitrary deal ings, recently adopted an elaborate plan of public education, and sent an order to all parts of the republic to put the scheme into operation on a given date.
 The plan contained certain provisions which most of the schools found it
 impossible to comply with, and as a le- suit a large number of the children were given an enforced vacation. The next day the police again received or ders. this time to arrest all children found playing in the streets and take them to the National college to be maSriculated. Several children were arrested, and their parents were made to pay a heavy fine for not obeying the law.
 Among the schools which had to close their doors owing to the en- forcement of the decree, were the ones

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.

Oskaloosa. Iowa. Aug. 19.-The state convention of the social democratic party oplned in this city today. There are two particularly important matters to come before the convention in the form of a proposition from the pOpulists to join forces with that par ty and also one from the regular dem ocratic party of the state to come over to the support of, Bryan and Stevenson and the democratic state ticket The social democracy has in it's ranks and at this convention some of the bright est talent in Iowa. and it is hard to tell just what kind of a fusion will be eff fected, but the Bryan democrats seem to havs somewhat the best of the pop ulists and may gain the support they have been working hard for since the national convention. The populists are not s0 hopeful.

BOTH ARE DONE FOR.

Gc0dland, kas., Aug. 1G.-The t-sO Union Pacific robbers located here this morning are dead, one shot to pieces and the other burned to death on the Bartholomew ranch. After a fight in the morning, when the first one was shot, the citizens armed themselves and went to the ranch.
 The man inside the house was armed with Winchester and a too near ap- proach to the house drew his fire. About o'clock some men. by crawling through cornfield, got in a shed near the house and from this place threw railroad fuses on to the roof of the house, setting it on fire. It was not many minutes until the entire building was in flames, but the robber made no sign and if he was not shot by a bullet from the many that were fired from the outside he found his death in the flames
 There is no doubt about the men pe- ing the train robbers On the body of the one shot this morning was found q watch, two black calico masks. a Iadv's chain and charm and an opened enve- lope addressed to some ilIegibIe name at Sogo, Col He was tall. with a black moustache and commonly dressed. The body was brought to town tonight The man in the house had a large roll of bills, but those, with the robbers two valises, were burned. Both men were about 30 years of age and of desperado style, having threatened to shoot sev- eral farmers who refused to keep them. The two citizens, Briggs and Cullens. shot in the fight in the morning. are doing well and will probably recover.

blizzard STRIKES NEW YORK.
Shipping Almost Tied Up, and Poor
Suffering Severely.

New York. Feb. 17.-With all the fury of
a blizzard the first real snowstorm of the
winter descended upon New York to-day.
For many hours snow came down so heav-
lily that buildings a block away were only
dark blurs.
A wind, northeast, blowing twenty-five
to thirty miles an hour. whirled the snow
about in thick, binding clouds About ten
inches had fallen by midnight and it was
still showing fiercely.
Great was the menace 10 shipping, be-
cause of the binding storm and the in
shore wind. The last ship to arrive in this
port to-day was the Campania, which
passed quarantine at $3.50 a. m.
The American liner st. Louis was due
this morning, but she was not reported
up to midnight. La Touraine is due to-
morrow, but 1t is not expected that she
will. reach port on time. The last shin
out was the Etruria, which left her pier
at s a. m. The Graf Waldersee, which
attempted to pass out went aground near
Rome Shoals at p m.
Harbor shipping was almost at a stand
still Fog bells were ringing and ferry
boats were creeping about, running on
slow schedules. On land, trains were de-
layed and in many instances stalled by
the storm, the high wind causing the snow
to drift.
AS a result of the storm, the poor OF
the city suffered greatly and the depart
ment of charities had to extend its utmost
energies to relieve the sufferers A great
many accidents were reported by the po-
lice and ambulances from the var us
hospitals were continually on the go
throughout the day. As yet but one deatn
from cold and exposure has been reported.
AS many as forty people suffered from
fractured limbs from falls.
Throughout the suburbs of New Yorl,
and Long Island and about New Jersey
everything pointed to partial blockade
by the snow.
