LEADERS DISAPPEARING.
Citizens Of Tampa, Fla, kidnap Every
Prominent Striker.

C't'zens OF Tampa, ia, skidnap Every
Prominent Striker.
Tampa, Fla, Aug. The strike sit
uation here is one of bewilderment on
the part of the strikers and immovable
determination on the part of the citi-
zens. The latter have taken matters
into their own hands and as result
every prominent leader of the strikers
is missing. The first to be kidnapped
were taken at an open air meeting to
which all the Resistencia leaders had
been invited, the purpose. being to
catch them all in bunch. The cap
tured leaders were at once driven to
the county Jail, where they remained
on the outside under guards for a few
minutes. Then they disappeared and
have not been seen, or heard of since.
Various rumors as to their disposition
have been circulated in the city, it
being most, generally reported that
they were taken into the gulf in an
unknown and mysterious vessel. All
of the deported strikers were Span
iards or Cubans:
Later IL more strikers who are
among the sub-leaders were deported
Some of the strikers have held meet
ings during the day secretly and have
conferred with number of lawyers
with view of taking some action. No
one would take the case. They also
appointed new committees to carry on
the work, and in the case of each COM
mittee, five different ones were Gre
ated so that when one is taken away
another will take it's place.

Baltimore, Aug. 1.-THE Republican
state convention held here placed in
nomination the following ticket: For
state controller, Hermann S. Platt Of
Baltimore City; for clerk of the court
of appeals, Thomas Parran of Calvert
county. Both nominations were made
by reclamation, no other names COM
ing before the convention. Interest,
therefore, centered mainly in the plat
form and the speeches, all Of which
teemed with ..denunciation of Democ.
racy in general, and Former United
States Senator German in particular.
The white supremacy" issue, raised
by the Democrats in the platform
adopted by them. at last weeks con-
Nention, was ignored in that upon
which the Republican candidates; will
stand. but it came in for it's unfavor-
able mention in the speeches.
=. The platform places much stress
upon national issues. The administra-
ton of President Mckinley is heartily
endorsed, the policy of the Republican
party on the tariff, the currency and
other vital questions Of national mo-
ment, are vigorously commended,
while that Of the Democrats of the
state is quite as vigorously. denounced.

sFifty:six Delegates to Iowa Republican
Convention Quit Herriott.-
Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug THE COM
bination against Cummins has been
broken by g large number Of the Her
lsriott delegates, who abandoned their
man and went over to the Des Moines
candidate. The counties in the move
ment are Adair, Audubon, Cass, Mont
gomery, Shelby and Pottawattamie.
They will bring Cummins an increase
of Sc votes on the first ballot and IS
on the second.
When the conference of the Her
riott men met, number of them an
nounced that the arrangement entered
into with the steering committee was
not agreeable to them, and they did.
not like the looks Of things, anyway.
They wanted Herriott to agree to
combination with the -Cummins men,
but lse. preferred to run his own cam
paigr. The delegates then announced
that. they intended to come d. out for
Cummins.
The detection of Herriott's men is
considered to practically settle the
nomination in favor of Cummins. His
opponents conceded to him early in
the evening $50 votes on the first bal
lot, while he claimed 791. This break,
even by the admission of his oppon-
ents, gives him 1928 on the second bal
lot, while according to his own esti-
mate, he will have at least SAT on the
first ballot, and total of S69 on the
second; s21 votes are necessary to
choice: The steering committee, not
withstanding the falling away in Her.
sriott's vote, will stick to Hartman,
and make their fight under his name.

Seven Dead and Over Sixty Injured
Found at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Aug. 7.-Seven dead
3 or probably fatally injured and
more than 60 other persons hurt more
or less seriously, is the latest revised
record of the explosion in the block Of
Tenth street, in this city. How many
more victims, if any,. are still in the
ruins, will not be known until the
debris has been cleared away, which
will require many more hours of hard
work. Undeterred by the incessant
rain, the work of searching for the
dead has been kept up continuously
during the "a hours since the ex-
plosion occurred. Temporary electric
lights have been erected at the scene
of the explosion and 200 men, under
the direction of the department OF
public safety, are vigorously pursuing
the searchs. Many. of the residents of
the neighborhood believe there are
more bodies in the wreckage. There
are several persons missing, but as
some of these had no known perman-
ent~place of residence, it cannot be
stated to a certainty that they are
buried in the ruins.
The police and fire officials are max
ing a search for the cause of the ex-
plosion, but they have no positive
proof as to it's cause. They hold to
the theory that gasoline did the dam.
age, and that it had been stored in one
of the three grocery stores. The Off
cials are inclined to believe that the
explosion occurred in the McClemmy
store, which was in the middle Of the
block. McClemmy, who is badly in
jured, claimed that he! had only a
gallon of the oil in his place and that
he kept it in the rear Of the building

Lawton, O. T., Aug. 7.-After wait
ing in vain for the authorities to act,
the citizens of Lawton have taken the
gambling question into their own
: hands. The "sure-thing" gamblers,
emboldened by their success, stopped
at nothing. People were openly
robbed. A crowd of homeseekers
finally organized and served formal
notice that no more unlicensed gam
bling would be permitted in or around
Lawton.
1t was a business organization that
did not mince any words, and now
there are no "sure-thing" devices in
sight.
Two men killed by highwaymen, one
seriously wounded, $1,000 in money
and watches taken, is the criminal
record of the Lawton district for "A

y. T., was shot and killed instantly by
one OF three men who attempted to
hold up a party mile south of the

robbers thought he intended to fight.
Another gang Of highwaymen robbed
prairie schooners' near Rush
Springs. The gang was composed of
three men, all of whom rode thorough
bred horses. In one wagon, containing
Il. 3. Beemb1ossom of Guthrie, his H.

them, and shall in due course appeal
to them for judgment on my course:

whether they prefer the senator who
has tried to retain for South Carolina
the honor and dignity won by a long
line of illustrious sons and glorious
deeds, or the senator who has pos

proclaimed on the floor of the senate
that he represented constituency Of

wanted their share of the stealage.
Il desire to proclaim to~the world
that you do not represent the intelli-
gence of the Democracy of the people

he shall not escape the vengeance that

it has been merely a skirmish,. each
side trying to find the vulnerable spot

suance by President shaffer of the
long talked of general strike order.
This order was promulgated to take
effect after the last turn of the mills
on Aug. 10. What the result will be
no man can foretell, but judging by
the expressed determination of both
parties to the controversy the battle
will be waged fast and furiously. Much
money will be lost, thousands upon
thousands of men will be idle, great
suffering is looked for, even bloodshed
and death are possible and feared.

all Amalgamated men in the United

now on strike. It was issued from the
Amalgamated association headquart
ers and mailed to all -Amalgamated
lodge officials who are expected to call
their men into the strike. The text
of the call follows:
"Brethren: The officials of the
United States Steel trust have refused
to recognize as union men, those who
are now striving for the right to or
ganlze. The executive board has au-
thorized me to issue a call upon all
Amalgamated and other
Union Men in Name and Heart
to join in the movement to fight for
labor's rights. We must fight or give
up forever our personal liberties. You
will be told that you have: signed con-
tracts, but you never agreed to sur
render those contracts to the United
States Steel corporation Its officers
think you were sold to them just as
the mills were, contracts and all. Re-
member, before you agreed to any
contract you took an obligation to the
Amalgamated association. 1t now
calls you to help in this hour of need.
Unless the trouble is settled on or
before Saturday, Aug 10, 1901, the
mills will close when the last turn is
made~on that day. Brethren, this is
the call to preserve our organization.
We trust you and need you. Come
and help us and may right come to a
just cause"
President Shaffer added this state
ment: "The call goes to the vice pres
idents of the districts in which there
are mills, owned and operated by the
National Steel, National Tube and
Federal Steel companies; as we'll as
to the officials of the lodges in the
mills. .i-1l -
Mo notice has been, or is being
sent, to the managers of the mills.
We think their notice has come from
the other side and that they have had
warning of this ever since the in
auguration of the strike. That ought
to be sufficient"
