TROUBLE AT ANsoNIA.
A Man Brought from New York Cut
 Two Strikers With Razor.

Ansonia, July S.--A cutting affray growing out of the strike situation in Ansonia took place at South Bend, Shelton. at an early hour this morn ing. The victims were George Mount ford and Theodore Cough. These were two of the strikers from the Farrel Foundry and Machine Go. A man by the name of Daniel Sullivan was brought here from New York yester- day to take the place of one of the strikers, but he was persuaded to give up the job by the strikers and was in- duced to make his way back to New York. As he could not go by trolley to Bridgeport. he and the others men, toned above started to walk to Bridge port. When they reached the point mentioned q struggle took place, the origin of which accounts differ. Sul- livan claimed that he was first assault ed, while the others said that he made the first assault on them with a razor. MountfOrd was badly cut across the head, face and hands, while Cough re- ceiyed an ugly cut across the face. Sullivan was arrested and will be given hearing tomorrow.

Chicago, July .S-First steps toward the founding of a labor temple in this city were taken by the Chicago Fed eration of Labor yesterday, when a resolution empowering the executive committee to consider the project was adopted by the delegates to the as- sembly.

THE GAMING INSTINCT.

We are now, perhaps, in position io understand how gambling comes to exist and why it is so fascinating, lays the American Journal of Soci-. Diogy. It is a means of keeping up the conflict interest and of securing all the pleasure-pain sensations of conflict activity with little effort ard no drudgery; and, incidentally or habitually, it may be a means of se- curing money-t1lat is, potential sat .sfactions of all possible kinds, through the gains accruing to the winner. In gambling the risk is inn minent, the attention strained, the emotions strong; and even where the clement of skill is removed entirely and the decision left to chance, an emotional reaction analogous to the feeling in the genuine conflict is felt. From this standpoint our problem IS not so much to account for the gambler as to account for the busi- ness man. The gaming instinct is born in all normal persons. It is one expression of a powerful reflex fixed far back iD an animal experience. The instinct is, in itself, right and in dispensable, but we discriminate be- tween it's applications. It is valued in war and business; it expresses itself in thousand forms in the games of children and in college athletics; it is approved in such ex- pressions as golf, tennis and billiards, as recreation for the man of affairs; but society justly condemns the exercise of the instinct aside from activities which create values The value may be in the increased health and vigor which the business man derives from the recreation, or it may be in the creation of wealth by this same man in competitive business, but the gamester pure and simple is not regarded with favor by society, because he creates no values and is therefore parasitical, and is besides a disorganizer of the ha bits of others

CAPT M'CALLA IS HOME.
As Fighters, He Says, That the
 Boxers are No Good.
The Chinese Regulars on the Other Hand Make Good Soldiers The Boxers Thought They Could Turn Bullets Aside by Rowing and Max ing Motions With Their Hands.
ing Motions With Their Hands.


 New York, July S.-Captain Bow man H. McCalla, commanding the cruiser Newark, which has just return ed from the far east, ill speaking of the fighting which Admiral Seymour's $ column encountered last summer in trying to relieve the besieged legations at Pekin. said:
 At first we had only the boxers to contend with Later we had the Chi nese regulars. They were splendidly armed-all that good soldier could wish for. They had the best of the mausers, the finest of mannlichers and good Krupp guns.
 Tt was almost pathetic to see how the boxers fought Their religious ell thusiasm and faith in certain things were extraordinary. They believed that by waving their banners and spears in a certain way and making peculiar motions with their hands the bullets from our guns could not harm them.
 Nothing could shake their faith in this kind of defense. They would not run away. I saw a patrol of 9 of them standing up and being shot down to the last man. All through the fire they kept lowing and making their strange moti0ns. Even when the last of the p had been shot to his knees he kept salaaming to the last I could not understand it.
 Tt was different with the Chinese regulars. They knew what bullets could do. They are not very good marksmen. They would begin to shoot when they were a great distance away, but there were so many of them they kept one busy trying to dodge the bull lets.
 They displayed more order under fire than expected, but that is due to the German methods employed in their training. I saw one body of them walk off very calmly and in splendid order under a hot fire. But as soon as they are threatened from the rear they give way in bad style. They seem to be very sensitive to the danger of being cut off. That is the Chinese soldiers weak point.'
 Speaking of the Japanese, Captain McCalla said:
 ''The efficiency of their army is something to marvel at. Think of it, when the allies got to Pekin the Japa- nese had an electric searchlight and a storage battery which proved of the greatest service in storming the wall. They are modest, quiet, but business like at all times'

partment to avoid any possible further difficulty between the young men.
 The mems headquarters to-day look ed quite deserted in comparison to it's general appearance every Monday morning, yet the streets were filled with men who have not yet returned to work because to quote some of item i've hate to" well get out of town" '.wc've got work in New York, or Boston as the case may be. Ie is sad that all of the high priced men that were employed at the fonnd:y nave long ago left town and thar, even 1t all the men in town return to their oid places none of the shops would have its old force.
 This afternoon the shop committees of the Clock factory and the E. J. Man vile Machine companys held meet ings to take action upon the terms of- fered by the respective concerns. The last named agreed to take back all employees excepting three apprentices, and the first named would take back at present about one-half the old num- Der, which was 45. The company de clined to take back two men who have been in their service a long time, but the committee held out for the men and the company finally agreed that they could return. The meetings were in session at press hour. It was report ed that the offer of the respective con- cerns would be accepted. This morn ing only the Clock factory and the AIanville Machine Co.'S were picketed. At noon the pickets were called oil, leaving the impression that the strike was practically declared off, and thus officially ends the first great industrial disturbance that Waterbury ever ex- perienced, battle that lasted seven weeks

PEREUMPToRY DISMISSAL.
Employees of Wellsville Steel Company
 Discharged.


 Pittsburg, July S-The peremptory dismissal on Saturday of twelve mem bers of the Amalgamated association at the Wellsville plant of the American Sheet Steel company, seriously affect ed the expected settlement this week of the iron and steel strike. When seen this morning Prsident Shaffer of the Amalgamated association was very much exercised over the turn affairs had taken. Said he: 'sOne thing is certain, there will be no conference un- til the men discharged at Wellsyilla are reinstated. These men broke no law of the land and we shall protect them. If they are not reinstated and the conference postponed, the general strike will come The men at Wells vile have been organized for months. I sent word for them not to come out, as l wanted a peaceable settlement. I do not blame the chief officials. As usual the trouble comes from some middle man, who cannot realize that he may be undoing the conservative work of thoughtful men on both sides or that his action may involve the commercial world.''
 Although, as yet no word has been received officially by the officers of tho Amalgamated association from the American Sheet Steel company and the American Steel Hoop company, re- questing that the wage conference be re-opened. it is expected that such note will be received during the day. If the Wellsville matter can be set tied, the conference will then it is be- lieved, be quickly arranged, an agree ment reached and the strike declared off before the end of the week.
 There was resumption of work in many iron and steel mills to-day
 The following concerns signed the Amalgamated scale today: Standard Chain company, Columbus, O., Niles Iron and Sheet company, Niles, O., Lake Erie Iron company, Cleveland; Empire Rolling Mil company, Empire, O., and the Pittsburg Forge & Iron company of this city.
 All the independent companies in the Pittsburg district have now signed the scale, but A. M. Byers &S Go, and their signature is expected as soon as the re- pairs to the plant are completed

WOMEN AS APoTHECARIEs.

New York, July S.-According to St Petersburg advices to the World, a large apothecary shop has just been opened at the Russian capital conduct ed entirely by women who have paed their examination in pharmacy. The precision with which they make up pre- scriptions is a subject of wonder in Russian medical circIes, and it is high ly probable that this experiment. of 8 new calling for women will develop all over the country. The Russian medical school in all it's branches is practically open to women as well as to men, Rus sia being the only country in Europe where such is the case.

Practice at Snap Shooting at

 Themselves 4Again-Four Seconds of

 ing.
 London, July S-The 42d annual meeting of the National Rifle associa- tion opened at Bisley to-day in bril- liant weather. The entries, generally, are satisfactory, but there is a notable absence of colonials, Canada alone fur nishing full team. The events de cided to-day are unimportant.
 New York, July S.-The program of the Bisley (Eng) rifle meeting, which began to-day, shows, according to the Tribune's London correspondent, that some, at least, of the lessons of the Boer war have not been overlooked. The rapid fire principle has been intro duced in many short distance compe- titions, both for teams and individuals, and efficiency in firing at extreme ranges is also encouraged. In the lat ter case the target will be undistin- guishable to the naked eye, and read fly adjustable telescopic sights and ar- tif1cial rests will be allowed
 The most interesting competition, however, will be that founded by Lord Roberts for snap shooting by teams from sections or companies. The men, who are concealed behind Dreastworks, will, on the sound of a whistle, rise, fire and return to conceaIment, the entire exposure not exceeding four seconds. With the exception of the Canadians, the only coIonists who have arrived are two men from Cape Colony and one from Rhodesia. Inc meeting promises to be a great success, the number of entries showing an in
