An old sea captain, who lost his ship
on the Virginia coast many years ago,
has since devoted his time to the per-
fecting Of n new life boat. His device
consists Of a round shell made from
light steel plates, surrounded by cork
belt. The interior is divided into n
number of compartments OF fresh
water, food and general supplies such
as would be needed by shipwrecked
men. 1t is claimed that this globe can
never be swamped, and that 1t will
pass safely over bars and breakers

commodations for sixteen persons, and
is equipped with sails and rudder, so
that 1t may be navigated with perfect
certainty. 1t is to be tested by naval

u. S, AFTER ADVANTAGE.
Situation In the Far East Has Made
 the State Department Active.

Washington, December 26.-The situa- tion in the far east has caused the of ficials of the state department to renew their efforts to secure for the United States from China and Korea certain trade advantages as embodied in the Chi nese commercial treaty, and in the press ing of Minister Aliens demands upon the Korean government before the crisis be- comes more acute.
 It is realized that should hostilities break out between Russia and Japan the resulting peace treaty probably would leave the United States and other neutral nations entirely outside of the pale of advantage in Korea and Manchuria, no matter which way the side of victory turned. Therefore the state department is bringing pressure to bear upon the Chi nese court to insure the speedy ratification of the trade treaty. and it is to be hoped that final negotiations of the treaty may be exchanged in Washington within three months at the outside. This will result fin the opening to the United States trade of the ports of Antung and Moukden, in Manchuria. Across the river from Antung in Korean territory lies Wiju, and the state department has prompted MT. Allen at Seoul to renew his pressure upon the Korean government to secure the open ing of that port to trade.

RUSSIANS ARE SETTLING.
Hamlets Make Their Appearance All Alcng the Manchurian Railroads.

Washington, December 26-According to a report received at the state department from United States Commercial Agent Greener at Vladvostock, Siberia. under date of July 25, 1905 Russian settlements have made their appearance at nearly all the larger railroad stations in Manchu- ria. Besides railroad offices and houses for their employees there are many pri- vate buildings. One impeachment to the expension of these settlements is that no regular sales of land have yet been ar ranged for. It is said there will be an auction sale of lots next year.
 In the meantime. however, private per- sons are allowed to occupy lots temporar- ly. Regarding the affairs of Siberia, Con- mercial Agent Greener says there Is surveying party now engaged in defining the route of the second Siberian rail- road. The party will project the line in such a manner that instead of four daily trains of twenty cars each, nine trains of thirty-six cars each will run every "A hours.

ANOTHER STRIKE BREWING.
Chicago City Railway Company Is
 Threatened With More Trouble.

Chicago, December 26.-Threats of an- other strike on the line of the Chicago City Railway company have been made by business agents of organizations that are endeavoring to secure new agree ments with the traction company.
 They have formally notified General Manager McCulloch of the company that unless he conceded their demands by January 1 the stationery fremen, steam engineers, electricians and teamsters em- ployed by the company would be ordered to quit work It was also announced that when the classes of workmen named were once called out an appeal for sympathy would lead to a strike by those of other departments.
 The demands of the business agents, which were practically an ultimatum. were ignored by General Manager Me Culloch who declared that he could not even consider the question of signing new agreements with the unions which the agents represented. These organizations are the ones that are accused of having broken their contracts with the traction company when they joined in a sympa- thetic strike on the trainmen

 With several passengers and a big car- go of freight the Admiral Dewey sailed from this city shortly after 12 o'clock Owing to the driving snow storm the Dewey was making her way out at slow speed.

LIVERYMAN TRY
 TO BREAK STRIKE
NON-UNloN MEN DRAW HEARSES THROUGH STREETS OF CHICAGO AND THERE IS COMPARATIVELY LITTLE DISORDER.

Chicago, December 26.-Today the liv- erymen made an effort to break the strike of livery drivers, which has lasted for ten days. Their carriages and hearses, driv- en by non-union men. were used at fune- rals, and but little disorder resulted. The funerals, which were compelled to pass through the business section of the city. were frequently blocked by teamsters and street car men, who placed their vehicles in the way, The police in every instance strengthened out the blockades immedi- ately.
 One teamster who intentionally scrap ed a hearse with his heavy truck, was pulled from his seat and arrested, The livery owners did not try to make a f1 ,t for the "open shop" and issued a warning 10 the strikers that all men who wished to secure gheir old places must return by Monday morning, or their places will be flied by other men.
 After Monday all the stables will be "open," and will be conducted on that basis hereafter.
