STRIKE AT WHITE HOUSE.
Thirty Members Of Brotherhood o
Painters Walk Out.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Thirty mem
bers of the Painters, Decorators and
Paperhangers, affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, employed at
the white house, which is in course of
We're called out on
strike by Daniel Lear, the Washington
representative of the brotherhood. The
reason assigned is that four painters
belonging to the Amalsamated Associa-
ton of Painters of New York City, a
rival organization, are employed on a
part of the interior painting under a
sub-contract with a New York painter
named Marcel. This fight between the
Brotherhood and the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION is of long standing and the
outcome, so far as the work on the in
terror finish of the white house is con-
cerned, is problematical. The strike
may prevent the presidents family
from occupying the white house as soon
as they had anticipated. The A1nalga-
mated men have telegraphed their
agent in New York, Mr.. Healy, to come
to Washington.

Voted Against Government.


Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Sept.
17.-Following the dissolution of the
Victorian parliament yesterday, in con-
sequence of an adverse vote recently
on the governments schemes for re-
trenchment, Premier Irvine issued a
manifesto to the electors appealing to
them to prevent their own servants
from paralyzing the administration.
He said that in order to avoid serious
deficit the government had decided on
a graduated reduction in salaries of
public servants and that thereupons the
state employees became rebellious,
strike on state railroads was openly
organized and in consequence pressure
was brought to bear on them by the
malcontents' assemblymen who voted
against the government.

Victoria, B. c., Sept. ia letter re-
ceived from a thoroughly trustworthy
Chinese correspondent at Manning
states that the rebellion is entirely at
an end. General Ma, one Of the ablest
Chinese officers in the south, was killed.
Tho the rebellion, SO called, is at an
end, the disquieting feature of the stu
alton is that a large quantity of up-to-
date rifles are still being imported con-
stantly.
The town of Tungshua Hsian, north
west of New Chwang, is reported to
have been occupied by the brigand
leader Liu Tang Tsae: they are said to
be busily looting all the districts
around.
The Boxers are still active in Chengte
and increasingly so. The local foreign
officer reports the district to be In great
disorder and several places having been
attacked, others burned down ana q
number OF Christian inquirers and oth-
ers who resisted to have been killed.
The British and Foreign Bible Society
has had one colporteur killed in that
district; there are rumors, believed to
be reliable, that two others have SUI
fered the same fate. A gentleman who
recently visited New Chwang says the
Russians are making all preparations
for their retirement from Manchuria al
an early date and expresses the belief
that they will do so. At the same time
he admits they are not likely to give up
some OF the places on which they will
have to make absolute REIMBURSEMENT
Of their claims upon that country.
The steamer Higo Maru, which was
sent by the Japanese government to the
scene of the recent eruption at Torisha-
ma. has returned to Yokohama.
An eruption had wrought Il complete
transformation Of the island. All its
and animals had disap-
reared and no indication was left as to
what had become of them. The highest
of the three peaks on the island,
known as Komochyama. had been
blotted out of existence, the crater still
sending forth thick smoke of sulphur
with awful subterranean rumblings.
Japanese papers received by the En-
press Of India report the capture of two
sea serpents off the coast OF Japan py
fishermen. One was male measuring
forty-eight feet and the other female
feet. They had horns two
feet six inches long and ears about two
feat long.

NEW RAILROAD.
B. & o. to Shorten Distance Be-
tween Baltimore and Chicago.

The Baltimore & Ohio is planning to
make still further short cuts in its line
from Baltimore to Chicago. The latest
announcement is that the company will
undertake the work of building new
railroad some 200 miles long that will
shorten the distance between Baltimore
and Pittsburg 80 miles In this the
old so-called Pennsylvania route will
be utilized.
This shortening Of the distance be-
tween Baltimore and Pittsburg added
to the cut-offs being built between
Pittsburg and Chicago Junction on the
Pittsburg Il Akron division will lessen
the distance between Chicago and Bal
timorc 80 miles. 1t will have the eff
feet, too. of causing the line through
Akron to supplant the old Baltimore Il
Ohio road through the central part OF
Ohio as the main trunk line of the com
pany After these improvements are
made, and the wages of the employees
are increased, there is reason to believe
that faster time will be made in the
passenger service
