Massillon, O., Oct 10.-The carrying
boys in the local glass factories are
on strike, and as result all operations
are nearly at standstill. Eight hundred
men and boys were thrown out by the
strike. The boys, who have been getting
60 cents day, demand Is cents and have
formed union. One boy who attempted
to work at the old rate was severely
beaten by the strikers. The managers
saw theyfwill shut down their works for
the season before they will accede to the
demands. The scale which has prevailed
is, they claim, 10 cents over ruling prices
elsewhere.

Stoned Anarchist Meeting.

New York, Oct. lone thousand al
legged anarchists assembled in a hall in
Fourth street in this city last night, os-
tensibly to hold ball in honor of the
organization of the Frei-Arbiter Stemme,
said to be a society composed OF anarch-
sits, but the nature Of the assemblage
was suspected by the manager of the
hall and in a short time forty policemen
were on the scene. The manager learned
that the meeting was really planned to
hear Herr Most make speech, but Most,
while on his way to the hall, was warned
away by members OF the society, who
were sent out to head him off when the
police arrived on the scene.

comes Intoxicated.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-Reports
have reached the Navy Department from
Tutila, Samoa, complaining of the con-
duct of Capt. Tilley, commandant Of that
station. 1t is alleged that on.more than
one occasion the commandment has been
seen under the influence of liquor and
that his actions are unbecoming an
officer.
Acting Secretary Hackett has directed
the commander-in-chief of the Pacific
squadron to proceed to Samoa to ascer-
tain the truth with regard to the charge,
and if necessary to hold court for the
trial Of Capt. Tilley.
The department has detached Captain
Tilley from command of the Abarenda
and Of the station, and ordered him to
proceed by the next steamer from San
Francisco to Tutuila. The charges, it is
proper to say, were received at the
department with surprise, since the
record of Capt. Tilley hitherto has been
unblemished. The administration of his
office as reported officially from time to
time has been eminently satisfactory.
There has been no ground for supposing
that this officers conduct was anything
other than what it should have been.

A BIG AWARD.
Seattle Firm Secures Contract for Dredging
Manila Bay-WilI Expsnd 100000.

Seattle, Oct. 1O.-The immense govern
ment contract for the dredging of Manila
harbor and the construction of bulk
head therein, has gone to a Seattle firm.
The successful bidder is the Puget Sound
Bridge and Dredging Company. Presi-
dent Charles +. Fowler yesterday
received news of the award, approximate
ing &, 100000 in value, from the COM
pany's New York representative.
Mr.. Fowler Immediately placed an
order for the dredging machinery in the
East, and it will be shipped to the
Philippines by way of Seattle, at once.
One million feet of lumber will also be
shipped at once from Seattle on China
Mutual steamer, to be used in the
construction OF scows on which to carry
the stone for the masonary work. The
company will obtain it's stone at a quarry
on Manila bay, over which it has
acquired an option.
The bay OF Manila is thirty miles long
from the city front to Corregidor, and in
this great sweep of water the typhoons
which rage in the China sea have full
play. In consequence the harbOr is not
safe, and many wrecks have been
recorded there. Furthermore, the cham
mel for two miles out from the city is
shallow, and only lighters and the
Hongkong steamers can cross the bar
and ascend the Pasig river. The trans
ports are all compelled to anchor far out
and transfer their passengers and cargoes
to shore in cascoes.
For many years past the Spanish
government has been engaged in the
construction of breakwater running
from the mouth of the Pasig in SOUTH
westerly direction. About mile of this
had been completed when operations
were necessarily suspended on May l.,
1898. The American government now
proposes to complete this breakwater SO
that ships may find shelter behind it
during the typhoons, and also to dredge
the harbor that the steamers may make
direct landings.
With the heavy embargo of this present
extra handling OF merchandise removed,
it is predicted that the commercial
importance OF Manila will be increased

will Be Northemmost Establishment In the
World-Rsceive Mail Once Year.
Washington, Oct. S.-A postoffice has
been established at Point Barrow,
Alaska. This is the furthest north of
any postoffice on this continent, and
probably the northernmost in the world.
Point Barrow, which is we'll known to
whaling men on the Pacific coast, is
situated in the northernmost part of
Alaska, ON the shore Of the Arctic ocean,
and only two white men live there. One
of these is Rev. H. Richmond Marsh, a
Congregational missionary, and the
other is "Charlie" Brewer, formerly a
trading company's agent, who married a
native woman and settled there with his
family.
No vessels call there except an occa-
sional whaler and the revenue cutter
Bear. Mail will be received only once a
year, as heretofore, by the Bear, but the
postoffice department deemed it wise to
appoint some person postmaster in order
to have the mails distributed through a
responsible person. There is a good.
sized native settlement at Point Barrow
The Office is to be known as Barrow.

New StyIe Of Locomotives.

San Francisco, Oct. 10.-A railroad
engine is now nearing completion in the
North Pacific Coast Railroad Company's
machine shops at Sausalito, which, if it
half accomplishes the sanguine hopes
and predictions OF its inventor, will
result in a radical revolution in the
construction of locomotives. This new
mechanical prodigy differs from other
engines in that it has the engineers and
tireman's cabs out in front instead OF the
rear of the boiler, thus affording the
men in the cab an unobstructed view OF
the track ahead.

TO CHECK ITS CAREER.
Anarchist Paper Refused Transmission In the
Mails.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Abraham Isaak,
publisher Of paper in Chicago, called
Gree Society,"" formerly the "Fire-
brand" which was barred from the
mails by the Chicago postmaster last
week, has applied for re-entry Of the
publication to the second class. Post
master Coyne forwarded copy OF the
paper containing an article by Emma
Goldman on the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley for ruling on the ques-
ton of its re-entry to the mails under
any classification. The department will
cali on Postmaster Coyne for further in
formation and will probably test the sub
scription list of the paper by addressing
persons on the list, asking them whether
they are actually subscribers. This is
the usual procedure. There is no law,
according to the officials, under which 9
paper can be barred merely on the ground
it is anarchistic in it's utterances.

SMUCCLERS CAPTURED.
Gang Of Chinese Caught In Act Of Bringing
Opium Into United States.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. o. United
States immigration officials of this city
have just made an important capture Of
Chinese opium smugglers, and besides
have succeeded in breaking up an organ
lied gang operating on the Coast, with
headquarters in Vancouver.
Commissioner White, of the local
American immigration Office has just re-
turned from Whatcom, where he went on
the work of capturing the Chinese. The
task was a difficult one, but the net re-
suit was that the Chinese have been sem
fenced to deportation and their opium
contiscated to the government. Conn
missioner White has lately been spend
ing good deal of time in the vicinity OF
the border, and found that the Chinese
there watched him about as closely as he
watched them. While he was on the
ground very little happened, but as soon
as his back was turned the smuggling
began to get good again.
On Friday the commissioner abandon
ed Ladner and came to Vancouver. He
had no sooner reached here than he re.
ceived a telephone message that since he
had left that place four Chinese had de-
parted for the American side of the line
with a shipment of opium in a boat.
Mr.. White started out again, drove to
Woodward's landing, on the Fraser, was
rowed across to Ladner, and there found
the Chinese whom he sought had start
of three hours and would probably land
their cargo before morning.
But Mr.. White then played the game
for all it was worth. He hired another
rig, with man to drive, and drove half
the night over the old Semiahmoo trail,
over fallen trees and fording small
streams, until he reached the boundary.
At Blaine he obtained assistance and sc.
cured the Chinese in bunch, just as
thew were landing,

AMER OF AFGHANisTAN DEAD.


10 Dc JTuGs
London, Oct. 8.-A news agency pub
fishes the following dispatch from Simla,
dated this evening:
Habid Oullah Khan, eldest son of the
ameer Of Afghanistan, has reported to
the Britith agent at Cabul that the ameer
died last Thursday after brief illness.
A dispatch to the Associated Press from
Simla says the ameer was taken serious
ly ill September 81, at Habid Oullah
Khan October asked in durbar
that public prayers be offered for the
ameer. On the morning of October 8
Habid Oullah Khan announced that his
father had expired at o'clock that
morning. Nothing is known of the state
of affairs at Cabul.
No confirmation has been received at
the foreign Office of the death of the
ameer of Afghanistan, but the truth of
the report is not doubted. In view of
the existing critical situation in South
Africa, the news sent something like
shock through the United Kingdom.
Great confidence, however, is expressed
on all sides of the ability of the Indian
viceroy to deal with the situation.
There is, however, an undercurrent Of
uneasiness discernible as to whether Rus
STA will seize the opportunity to push her
frontier forward. The British troops in
India, owing to the South African war,
are now below the normal strength. 1t
will be impossible to take any more from
South Africa, and the news will still fur
ther encourage the Beers to prolong their
resistance.

GALVESTON INUNDATED.
Visited by the Heaviest Fall Of Rain In IL
History.

Galveston, Texas, Oct. 9.-Galveston
was visited by the heaviest rain fall in
its history today. The rain began last
night, but the storm which formed off
Galveston did not break until early this
morning, and from a. m. until p. M,
the precipitation was tremendous. For
the fourteen hours ending at IL 80 p. M,
laos inches Of water fell. The rain was
accompanied by wind which, at II 80 a.
M, blew forty.two miles an hour from
the east. The streets were inundated,
and street car traffic was stopped, all
business being practically suspended.
The damage cannot be estimated at this
time, but it is not believed to be heavy.
Some OF the buildings were partially
flooded by water backing over the streets.
The tide was only two feet above normal,
and there was no salt water in the streets.
The rain was local, extending only along
a portion of the Texas coast and inland
for sixty miles with less intensity.

GRAVE CHARGES
AGAINST ADMIRAL SCHlEY ARE
pIsPROvED.
Were Made Last Week-Accused OF Withdraw.
Inc His Ships Twenty-Five Miles From
Santiago Every Night. but Ships Logs
Show Different Several New Witnesses
Are Called.

Washington, D. c., Oct. From the
present outlook the Schley inquiry will
last during all of October. 1t had been
expected that Judge Advocate Lemly
would complete his presentation OF the
case against Schley last week, but it now
looks as though he will not be able to do
so before Saturday. A number OF wild
charges made against Schley last week,
such as withdrawing his ships at night
25 miles from Santiago, have been wholly
disproved.
Interest now centers in the retrograde
movement from Santiago to Key West
for coal, and it will be for having order.
ed this movement, if for anything, that
Schley will be reproved by the court. 1t
is on this point that Lemly has made his
strongest showing.
Commander Rodgers, executive officer
of the Iowa during the war, was the first
witness on the stand this morning. He
merely made minor corrections in his
printed testimony.
Lieut.. Doyle also made minor correc-
tions in his testimony. Lieut.. Command
er Hodgson then resumed the stand to
identify further papers in the corre-
spondence between himself and Schley
and the navy department.
He said that after the Colon struck
small boat to receive her surrender, the
Brooklyn's guns were kept loaded for
fear of treachery.
Rodgers testified that neither he nor
any one else on the Brooklyn had the
slightest idea that code of signals had
been arranged with the insurgents at
Cienfuegos. He said the progress of the
fleet from Cienfuegos to Santiago was
seriously retarded by the Eagle and the
Vixen, and that it was very embarrass-
ing question on board of the Brooklyn
whether the Texas could coal from the
Merrimac.
He also stated that a close picket had
been maintained around Santiago and
Cienfuegos and that the enemy could not
have emerged from the harbor without
being detected.
Asked about the battle, he said the
Brooklyn "did all she could do; that she
began firing as soon as her port guns
could bear. When the smoke was thick
est he saw the bow of a ship loom ahead
of the Brooklyn, but could not tell at
the time which vessel it was.
Schley's conduct during the battle,
Hodgson stated, was all that might be
expected of an officer of his rank and
station. He denied that the Brooklyn
ran 1000 yards away from the Spanish
line Of battle, or that the loop prevented
the Brooklyn from keeping up a steady
fire.
Witness claimed Schley said: damn
the Texas!" but insisted that he had not
told the New York Sun of the now famous
colloqu.
