Hotel last Tuesday evening, which
came near proving to be disastrous
conflagration. The fire was caused
by a defective stovepipe, and the
flames were bursting from the win
dows and root of the building be-
fore discovered. The fire company
responded promptly to the alarm
and had the flames subdued in
very short time, but not until the
building had been Quilted. The
building was used as a lodging

EXPRESS STRIKE FEARED
Companies in Chicago Decide to Re-
stst the Teamsters. ~.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-The express compan-
les practically have decided to resist the
demands of their drivers for Increased
pay and shorter hours, and have taken
steps to protect their business should the
teamsters' union call a strike.
i Coupled with this decision come rumors
of similar action by the managers Of some
of the big department stores, whose sta
blemen and drivers are threatening
trouble. E=2S <.s- ~
Both decisions were reached at a secret
Joint conference in which representatives
of some of the stores and most Of the
seven big express companies were pres
ent. In the railway express drivers and
conductors union No. 20, the express
companies will have to deal with branch
Of the National Transfers union which
fought the packers and became involved
in the freight handlers trouble.
The plan of the express companies, ac-
scording to the Tribune. will be to order
agencies not to accept perishable goods
billed to Chicago and to cancel from all
shipping agreements the clause which
compels delivery. When shipments reach
this city the companies will send word
to the consignee that he must call for
the goods. Perishable- articles will be
sent by fast freight.

Of Mauser rifles and her captain had in
structions from the company to place the
American flag on the island and keep it
floating until compelled to haul it down.
] No i1ltimation that the vessel left here
with any arms on board was given out I'M
til the news was received that the Japan
ese government had laid claim to the
island and had dispatched war vessel
there. Colonel Thomas Fitch then made
public the Instructions given to, Captain
Rosehill which, while designed to prevent
any conflict, were intended to compel the
Japanese to allow the Americans to land
or use force to drive them away.
Captain Rosehill's instructions from the
company are to inform the Japanese on
Marcus island that his expedition is a
peaceful one for the purpose of making
scientific investigation Of the value Of the
guano deposits on the island and attempt
to make a peaceful landing. y, y

refuse to allow him to land, Rosehill is
to sail away out Of sight Of the island

flag and keep it UP until 1t is torn down
by a superior force. At the same time the
captain was told to avoid a conflict in
every way possible. -.5sy=-@4 ...i' ,'..,9i-s-,

expedition was to make a scientific ex-
animation of the island for the company.
If the island was found to be Of value

Hanover, Aug. s.-As far as chief honors are
concerned, so much seems to have been de-

Pillsbury will scarcely be able to finish first
in the international chess masters tourna-
ment now being conducted in this city under
the auspices of the German Chess Association.
When the first adjournment took place to-day
in the regular fifteenth round of the contest,
Janowski, who was pitted against Pillstury,
had by far the superior position and should
win his game on the resumption of play this
afternoon. In to-day's playing the men were
placed in the appended order: Popiel VS.. Oh
land, Swtderski vs.. Marshall, Mason Us. Wolf,
Levin vs. Gunsberg, Cohn VS.. Atkins, Gott-
schall VS.. Napier, Tschigorin VS.. Bardeleben,
Pillsbury vs. Janowski, Suechting VS.. Mieses.
While Ptllsbury was conducting an uphill
fight against the Parisian Wolf had succeeded
in. mastering Mason, while Cohn had gone
down before Atkins. The game between Levin
and Gunsberg was drawn, and the rest of the
games were adjourned in even positions.

As to a Special Election.
Notwithstanding that City Attorney
Healy has ruled that a special election for
mayor cannot be held on the same day as
the primary election, there are several
lawyers who. hold a contrary view. These
men have fair knowledge of the law ana
something of a reputation for sound 1udg-
ment and conservative decision. They pc
lieve that there is no legal objection 10
holding a special election on the primary
election day, at the Same polling place ana
with the same officials in charge OF both.
1t would be necessary, however, to pro
vide for a registration day fortnight In
advance Of the special election.
There are several advantages IN holding
the special election at the same time and
place as the regular primaries. There
would be no additional expense aside from
the printing of the small slips to be used
as ballots. The judges and clerks would
be on hand anyway and the additional
work of counting the ballots would be
small matter. -
There would be some expense attached
to the registration for the special cleo
ton, but nothing to compare IN amount
with the sum necessary to conduct the
election itself provided it was held apart
from the primaries. go
Only small force Of election officials
Is necessary for registration and they
would be on duty only about one-half as
long as at an election, thus reducing the
expense to only one-fourth.

AN ESTIMATE ON YIELDS

Submits Its Figures.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man, Aug. THE North
west Grain Dealers association, which is
never far out of the way in crop est1-
mates, made the following official state
men last night: 80
Estimated yield in Manitoba: Wheat,
47,957, 100 bushels; in the territories, 49,
567 900; total, 61,524,7 6O bushels.
Oats-Manitoba, 27,552,2S0; territories,
10, 1893 ,776; total, 37,946,o56. $50
This estimate is most conservative and
takes in the entire west. 1t Is far below
the government estimate.
The total wheat area under cultivation
is put at 2,624,92s acres. .'.s.:
The barley yield is put at 100000
bushels in Manitoba and 100000 in the
territories
Valley City, N. D., Aug s-While much
barley has already been cut in this county,
harvest in general will not begin until the
latter part Of the coming week. Old set
tiers say the general outlook is for the
largest crop ever harvest ed. in the coun-
ty. Whear is very uniform and will prob
ably average above 20 bushels to the acre.
Many fields, it is thought, will go from
80 to 40 bushels to the acre. Flax looks
extremely we'll and the average yield will
not be far from Is bushels. Barley and
oats sAe also good crops. The unusual
moisture in the spring months has caused
an immense growth of grass and many
farmers are making hay this year on
the uplands, where the grass ordinarily is
only fit for grazing.
Pembina, N. D., Aug. S-The cool and
showery weather of the past week has
greatly benefited the late crops, particu-
larly barley and flax. It was conceded
before the rainfall of week ago that
late barley and flax would not mature
before frosts. 1t, is surprising to see the
rapid growth and change in the last week
Most Of the late grains are now headed
and with favorable weather there will be
good crop. It will be about ten days be-
vest. Barley planted early has been GU
and was flrst-class crop. It is estimated
that about $4,000 acres were destroyed il
this county by the hail storms of the las
week.

Philadelphia, Aug. S.-When the strike
of the anthracite coal miners Is settled
and the railroad coal companies are again
able to supply hard coal the policy will be
to increase as far as possible direct sales
to consumers. This will be in pursuance
of the plan agreed on more than a year
ago and put into partial operation be-
fore the strike began. ...s.
. The purpose is gradually to eliminate
the retail dealers, except where 1t Is
necessary to deliver coal in small quan-
titles for domestic consumption. All
large consumers, especially in the big
cities, will be urged to buy their coal
direct from the companies.
AS an inducement, they will receive the
advantage of the wholesale list prices
fixed by the companies, which the retail
ers will be obliged to pay. In this way
1t will be made impossible for the retail
er to sell coal In large quantities. l.
The railroad companies will not under
take to deliver except where cars can
be run into the yards, Of purchasers, or
where delivery can be made by barge. =
All this is frankly admitted by an ex-
ecutive official of one Of the great COM
panies. f. ~. .':...1.:, ~. II T. r /
