FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE.

Chicago, July 14.-This morning saw
the beginning of the second week of the
freight handlers strike Eighteen thous-
and freight handlers and teamsters are
out, every freight house in Chicago is
tied up, and Chicago's great shipping
industries are paralyzed.
Depots are guarded by policemen.
Thousands of strikers surround them de-
termined that not one pound of freight
shall be moved. Early indications were
that before the end of the day the strike
would be settled. The strikers have
been informed, from source presuma-
bly, speaking with authority, that new
proposition which has been outlined to
the railroads will be accepted. Commit
tees were again sent to the managers
this morning.
Prospects for food famine are grow
ing. Carloads of fruit are spelling on
the tracks, the meat shipped from the
packing houses will not be handled by
the teamsters, where nonunion freight
handlers are EMPLOYED, the warehouses
are piled up with merchandise that can
not be delivered, and business houses
claim this morning that they are power
less to handle any except the city trade.

Mrs. Peary goes north with the vessel
with the promise that her husband will
return to this country on it and never
make another attempt to reach the
pole Captain Bartlett hopes to reach
Lieutenant Peary's headquarters in
three weeks. With fair weather the
skipper believes the voyage to the
Arctic and the return trip will be made
in eight weeks.

FALLoFsT MARKS BELL TOWER

Venice, July 1.-THE bell tower OF
historic st. Marks cathedral, 800 feet
high, suddenly collapsed this morning,
and fell into the plaza. The accident
occurred at 1890 this morning. The
tower is now heap of ruins. 1t is not
believed that there was any loss OF lie.
The cathedral proper and the Doge's
Palace escaped injury, but the falling
tower struck the royal palace, damaging
a corner. Troops were Immediately or
dered to the plaza and arelnow keeping
back huge crowds who are struggling to
get a sight of the ruins. The accident
which in the eyes of Italy amounts to
yeritable catastrophe is almost the
greatest art loss the kingdom has ever
suffered. The tower, which was built in
the tenth century, showed sudden signs
of decay last week, alarming the an
thorities. In anticipation of an acct
dent, the project of police yesterday for
babe the usual Sunday night concert in
the plaza, and yesterday evening
warned the people not to approach too
near the tower. The authorities of the
cathedral forbade visitors to ascend the
tower, and ordered the bell ringing to
be suspended. A gang of workmen had
been engaged to commence the work of
repair on the tower today, but it is be-
lieved that none Of them were in the
tower when it collapsed

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.

New York, July 14.-Mrs. Lizzie
Nadans was placed on trial this morning
before Recorder Golf for the murder of
her husband, William, on March IL, last,
at their home $50 east 74th street The
woman's plight has aroused much SYM
patty as there is reason to believe the
killing was purely accidental. William
Nadans was aprinter. According to the
testimony of neighbors he was in the
habit of getting drunk and when in that
condition he treated his wife cruely.
On March IL last he returned from spree
and, it is claimed, began to i'll tres
his wife. She oas peeling potatoes and,
to protect herself, she says, struck out
with the potato knife, never intending
to do the man mortal injury. In the
scuffle the knife pierced Nadan's heart,
killing him. Soon after her arrest, Mrs.
Nadans gave birth to baby girl. The
child was with her as she sat in the dock
today on trial for her life.

AFTER THE FRIARS.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 14.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root spent
a couple of hours this morning over the
note to be sent to Governor Taft for
transmittal to the Pope. Although
nothing has been made public upon the
matter of the disposal Of the Philippine
friars, it may be stated with authority
that the administration will not receie
from the position already taken and VII
insist upon the removal Of the priests
from their present holding and the trans
fer of their lands to the United States.
After sufficient time has elapsed to allow
Governor Taft to receive the note and
hand it to the Pope, Secretary Root may
make it public in Washington.

The RECALL of WI Ting Fang, the
Chinese Minister, to his native .land i
sincerely regretted by the people of thi
country, who have become greatly at
,ched to the diplomatic during his stay
among them. He has shown great tao.
and discretion, and always mindful OF
the interests entrusted to him he has
done much towards increasing the
friendly relations between the two na-
tons. During the Boxer troubles OF
last year his position was not an envi-
able one, but by the exercise Of his
diplomacy in which he is equalled by
few, he retained the confidence and
good will of those in official circles and
the general public. The office to which
he has been summoned has charge OF
the revision Of Chinese laws, and that
he is well qualified for the position Is
by all.
