''The cause of lightning is generally

In the United States, during four years
beginning with 1890. 7S4 lives were lost,
or an average Of 1876 per year, which Is
practically one person in every 100000
The loss of life mostly occurs between
April and September, but principally
during the summer months. The prop
erty lost from fire caused by lightning
as cleaned from the insurance compa-
MES, fire departments and newspapers,
is hardly less surprising. for the total
loss in this country during eight years
previous to 1892 amounted to over $12,-
100000.
I'm view of recently ascertained facts,
there is no doubt that, when struck,
buildings properly protected with light
ming protectors suffer very little dam

protected. That the placing of numerous
lightning rods on any building will pre-
vent it from being struck. can hardly be
conceded; but they generally provide an
easy path to the ground for the energy

Information regarding the construc-
ton and erection Of rods and the means
OF saving a person struck by lightning
has been gathered by Alexander Nc
Adie and issued by the United States
weather bureau. According to this, all
barns ard exposed buildings should
have lightning rods Ordinary dwelling
houses i'm city blocks have not the need
for rods that scattered houses in the
country, and especially those on hill
sides, have. Anyrpart OF building. if

be struck, whether there is rod on the

so intense but that good lightning rod,
well earthed, makes the most natural
path for the flash, but we have many in
stances, not to be confounded with csses
of defective rods. where edifices secln-

One of the most startling results of
recent investigations is the fact that a
building may be damaged by lightning
without having been struck at ALL The

EloGuentIy PaIIiates Lynching in

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. A Sentinel
special from Marinette, Wis, says:
United States Senator Ben r. Till
man of South Carolina addressed
large audience on the race question
from a Southern standpoint. One of
the features of his address was plea
in justification of Iynching.
I'm Wisconsin you have 5000 black
men," he said. why don't you try
the bleaching process and exterminate
them by inter marrying? The idea is
repugnant to you. In South Carolina
we have 100000 blacks and $50 900
whites. The carpet baggers, the mig
ger and the Southern scalawags and
scoundrels ruled us after the war, un
til they had stolen everything that

with our shotguns to the polls and took
1t away from them. All men are not
created equal, and the 'niggers are not
fit to vote. Come what may. the white
people of the South will govern their
own country"
He condemned Booker Washingtons
scheme of educating the negro along
industrial lines, as an attempt to place
him on an equality with the white arti-
san, something that would intensity
race hatred in the South. He said that
among the 100000 slaves during the
Civil War there were more Christians
than there are to-day among the $780,
900 blacks in the South
Il do not want to uphold slavery"
he continued. Il thank God there are
no slaves to-day under the Stars and
Stripes"
Mr.. Tillman made an eloquent plea
in justification of lynching, saying that
Southern women could not be brought
into court to testify to their shame and
degradation before a jury for the pur-
pose of convicting a beast. His refer
ence to the sanctity of the Southern
household and the Southern women,
and his remarks on lynching were
| heartily applauded. He closed with an
| impassioned statement to the effect
| that white people of the South would
| remain on top "in spite of the devil, "
| and if necessary he and his brethren
were ready to take down their shotguns
again"

sHAFFER AT WASHINGTON.
lie Holds Consultation with Labor
Federation OmciaI.

Washington, Aug. 4.-President Shaf-
fer and other members of the executive
board of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron and Steel Worsers have been
sounding the American Federation of
Labor as to the extent the latter body
can be depended upon in supporting
the great steel strike now under way.
With this object in view President
Shaffer. Secretary Williams, b. 1.
Davis, NJ. F. Tighe and John Chappell
came to Washington after the an
nouncement in New York of their fail
ure to reach an agreement with the
United States Steel officials. They
reached the city late last night and
registered at one of the down town ho-
tells. Their presence in the city was
known only to a few people. They de-
parted for Pittsburg about IL o'clock
this morning. While here the commit
tee had two extended interviews with
General Secretary Frank Morrison,
the principal officer of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor now
in the city. President Gompers being
away for few days visit to the North.
Mr.. Morrison was exceedingly loath to
discuss the object of the committees
visit. He would not say specifically to
what extent the federation would aid
the Amalgamated Association.
The Amalgamated Association, Mr..
Morrison said was an affiliated body
with the Federation and as such was
entitled to the cooperation and aid of
the greater body in conducting the
strike movement to an effective and
successful issue. Mr.. Morrison express
ed himself as confident of the ultimate
victory of the steel workers and felt
certain that the Federation of Labor
would give them all the aid in it's pow
er He was asked specifically whether
orders would be issued for an extension
of the strike in affiliated branches of
labor and regarding the matter of
financial assistance to the steel strik-
ers, but would not answer the ques-
tiOng.

CHINESE UNFRIENDLY

WORK ON LEGATION DEFENSES

Made of Brick and Pierced with
LoophoIes.
Pekin Aug. 4.--American and Euro
pean residents assert that the demean-
or of the PelSin populace is constantly
becoming more unfriendly and that as
the allied troops depart the Chinese re-
sumo their old habits of jostling and
cursing foreigners in the streets.
The legation defenses are now ap-
preaching completion. Generally
speaking, they consist of brick walls
from fifteen to twenty feet high, and
from three to four feet thick, loop
holed for rifles.
The ministers of the Powers ignored
the plan for a uniform system of de-
Tense submitted by the generals, and
consequently the governments are
working independently.
1t is the policy of the ministers to
avoid conspicuous work of defense, lest
these should prove an irritant, provok-
ing instead of preventing hostillties.
Most of the engineers have recon-
mended stronger defenses than the
ministers will sanction. Maj. Edgar E.
Robertson of the Ninth Infantry who
commands the United States legation
guard, has written to Mr.. Rockhll to
protest against what he calls "the de-
fenseless position of our legation" rep
resenting that it is exposed to attack
on four sides. Mr.. Rockhll has replied
that it is not intended to amaintain a
fortress, but merely a wall for protec-
ton against unexpected mob violence.
The wall is made of brick out of defer
ence to Chinese pride.
The French and Italians still remain
here. The non-fulhllment of the agree
ment to evacuate public places in a
fortnight causes some inconvenience to
the military authorities. Only the Ger
man barracks have been completed.
| The French barracks have hardly been
begun. The troops are grumbling over
being compelled to give up comfortable
| quarters and to find temporary camps.

I'VE have done everything in our
power to meet the employers half way,
but through their attorney, Mr.. Mich
ael, they have expressed a desire to

1--WE shall not consent to yield up the
only rights we have as laboring men.
We decline to allow the employers to
rule the industries of this city, as did
the council of ten in the dark days of
Venice's history. We are willing to

IN spirit OF fairness, but, at the same
time we demand that the employers
consider the question involved in this
struggle in the same spirit What we
want is an early adjustment of this
affair. We will do all we can to secure
it, without the sacrifice of our princi-
pies as a union and our dignity as

KNOXVILLE CARS IDLE.

Company To-day.


Company To-day.
Knoxville. Tenn, Aug. 4.-The Knox
vile Traction Company made no effort
to run cars to-day, believing that
trouble might result with thousands of
men idle for the day. Traffic, however.
will be resumed tomorrow. The fail
ure of the cars to run cut down the
church congregations and made Knox
vile a city of stay-at-homes to-day.
ChllhoWee Park, owned by the trac-
ton company, which usually is visited
by an average of 10000 people each
Sunday, was wholly deserted, there be-
ing no way to reach it except by pri-
vate conveyance. A proposition has
been secured from General Manager
Howell of the traction company upon
which the men will vote tomorrow.
The proposition is that while the union
will not be recognized, the men will be
taken back as vacancies occur, mar
ried men to be given the preference.
New men who have been running are
to stand on their merits of proficiency
only. This will probably be accepted
by the strikers.

ing been pulled off his car, will re-
