PORT ARTHUR. Manchuria, July
15.-The conference of prominent Rus

Russia's increasing power in ManclbI-
ria was the dominant note in the gath
ering. The possibility of taking any
backward steps was scoffed at If men

that the war possibility was discussed.

MONTANA BEARS THICK
AND VENTURESOME
Settlers Daily Have Animated Encoun-
ters With the Brutes.

Special to The Globe
BUTTE, Mont, July 15.-The man
whose soul is filled with a longing to
hunt bears should come to Montana,
where they are so numerous and so
bold that they are becoming more than
a nuisance. From all portions of the
state, especially the mountainous sec
tions, reports of bears and their doings
are coming in daily.
Henry Green lives with his family
on a ranch at Willow creek, near Red
Lodge. He was chopping wood early
this morning when a big brown bear
suddenly. looked at him around the
edge of the wood pile. Being wholly
unarmed, except for the ak, Brown fled.
He reached the house about three feet
ahead of bruin, who tried to crush in
the door after the man had entered
the house. Brown called to his wife,
who brought him his rifle. The bear
did not last long.
Joseph Ferrell was hauling lumber
along the road near Pony yesterday
when a huge black bear jumped out
into the road in front of him. AS Fer
rell had no rifle with he began to back
up. The bear followed. Ferrell tried
to scare the brute away by shouting at
him. This only angered the bear.
Finally Ferrell secured an ak from the
wood wagon and advanced to the at
tack The bear stayed as long as he
was able. Ferrell killed him at last.
Frank G. Meinhart, of this city, re-
turned today from his ranch in the Big
Hole basin, bringing with him the
handsome skin of a big bear that he
killed there He saw the bear at
tacking a steer. The animal was not
afraid of the man and continued his
attack on the steer, which he was
knocking about much as cat would
knock a rat. Several bullets were sent
into him before he was killed.

WOMAN DOES BATTLEWITH CATTLEMEN
Mrs. Her Husband From Their Clutches War
in

overpowered. There was talk of lynch
ing.
Then it was that Mrs. Brown began
to do things. Taking rifle from the
bottom of the sheep wagon she opened
fire on the cattlemen, sending bullets
among them SO fast that they were
glad to get behind their horses for
shelter and abandon their plans for
lynching Mr. Brown, whose rifle had
been taken from him and broken. Fir
ing as she advanced, Mrs. Brown went
to where her husband was standing,
and slipping big revolver into his
hand continued her attack on the cat
tIemen, in which she was ably assisted
by her husband. Possibly fifty shots
were fired, and then the cattlemen drew
off, several OF them wounded, it is
thought. When some distance away
they began firing volleys at the sheep
wagon of the Browns, to which the
man and the woman had returned. The
wagon is badly torn by bullets. After
the battle was over Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown returned to the Blue Water
range, where they left the sheep in
charge of herders, and then came to
the city.

NEW YORK. July 15.-There is a
new king in Wall street. His name is
John D. Rockefeller. ]. Pierpont Nor
gan, the old king, has been dethroned.
So runs the story in Wall street to-
day. So runs the story on the stock
tape. Rockefeller and Morgan have
clinched and Rockefeller has won.
Rockefeller, the richest man in the
world today, is the great bear leader.
1t is Rockefeller who is smashing
stocks. 1t is his hand that has palsied
every stock involved on the stock ex-
change. Rockefeller has for some time
believed the stock quotations were too
high. He urged Morgan to pass the
dividend on Steel common stock. This
was refused and all the other sugges-
tions of Rockefeller were ignored.
1t was for these reasons, so runs the
Wall street story, that Rockefeller took
hold of the stock market himself to

The blind grandmother cared for the

CH|CAGOANS SPEND
A DAY IN FIGHTING
Policemen Subdue Strike Sym
pathizers With Clubs and
and RevoIvers.

CHICAGO, July Is. = Desperate
fighting between the police and the
strikers of the Kellogg Switchboard
company took place this afternoon and
evening, when the company attempted
to send freight to some of the railroad
depots. In one instance the police
opened fire with revolvers. and al
though the fusillade was continued for
several minutes nobody was injured.
Later there was fight in which no
revolvers were used and the police
beat down a number of men, some OF
whom were left in the street until their
friends came back to pick them UP.
The first fight occurred when truck
loaded with freight, escorted by police,
bound for the Burlington depot, was
passing an unfinished building at Har-
rison and Peoria streets. A hoWl1ng
mob of a thousand men and boys was
following close upon the police and
pelting them with stones and sticks.
Teamsters who sympathiZed with the
strikers got their wagons in the way
of the Kellogg company's wagon as 1t
reached Peoria street and occaSloned
a blockade. The police were endeavor-
ing to clear the street when the work.
men on the unfinished building show
cred them with brick. The officers
fired at the Workmen, who fled to the
interior of the building. The police
kept up their fire through the win
dows and drove nearly all the work
men from the place. The wagon reach
ed the depot and delivered the goods.
The second fight occurred when the
police were escorting a wagonload OF
freight to the warehouse Of the Ter
minal Transfer company, at Ogden and
Twelfth street. A mob, fully 5000
strong, followed this wagon, and al
though the police were outnumbered
one hundred to one, they took the
wagon safely to the depot. The mob
had greatly increased by the time the
wagon was ready to make the return
trip, and for half mile pursued the
police, applying to them all sorts Of
epithetS and pelting them with sticks
and stones, without, however, injuring
any person seriously.
The climax came at Congress street
and Ogden avenue, when a private
watchman fired at one of the mob. The
shot went wild, but it inf1amed the
mob and they charged the police The
latter We're waiting for the crowd and
when it arrived the officers went at it

We're greatly outnumbered, but in less
than three minutes every member of
the mob who could use his feet was
doing so to the best of his ability.
Fully a dozen men with broken heads
were left lying in the street. About
twenty arrests were made during the
day.
The Kellogg company announces
that it will continue to send out freight
every day, and the strikers say that
they will use every means to prevent
its doing so. At all of the depots where
freight was delivered today the freight
handlers refused to unload the freight
was done by special men employed by
the company.

|FAKIR'S VICTIM AGED
And PROFITABLE.
Uncle of Grand Master Work.
man of Knights of Labor
Loses $500.
Special to The Globe.


ST. CLOUD, Mimi, July 15.-George
P. Sovereign, an eighty-year- resi-
dent of the East side, was swindled
out of $500 at the Sells e. Downs cir
Gus grounds in this city. The old gen.
tleman was in a side show tent, and,
seeing a fakir selling electric belts ex-
pressed a desire to buy one. The fakir
informed him that there was lottery
connected with it, and induced him to
draw. He was told that his number
had drawn $500, as had a man who
represented himself to be an employe
of the st. Cloud postoffice, but the
fakir insisted that each show that he
was possessed of a like sum. This the
"capper" did, and was given his alleged
winnings. Mr.. Sovereign was told
that if he would draw the money from
the bank and return to the tent alone
he would be paid the money. This he
did, but upon showing 1T the fakir I'M
mediately grabbed it and disappeared
through an opening in the tent. 5he
police were unable to locate him. Mr..
Sovereign Is an uncle OF former Grahu
Master Workman Sovereign, of the
knights of Labor.
A man named Leech, of Rice, was
also a vicim to the extent of $50. He
played spindle game" and was in
formed that he had won SIS, or two
boxes of cigars, and was asked which
he would take. Processing to have an
abundance of money, he said he would
take the cigars, and displayed pock-
etbook filled with bills. The fakirs
grabbed it. Another man complained
of the loss of $40.
A sneak thief, presumably follow
er of the show, was caught in the act
of robbing the safe in the California
Wine House, and was set upon by an
employe of the place and the proprietor
and badly used UP. He was then
thrown out of the front door. A pass
ing citizen picked him up and con-
veyed him to the police station.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-No
information that any islands near Bor-

department. A plausible explanation
of the reported occurrence, it is said,
is that the commanding officer in the
Philippines sent one or more of his
vessels to hoist the flag of the United
States over some islands near the
coast of Borneo, which were purchased
by the United States from Spain sub
sequent to the treaty of Paris. These
islands comprise the Cafayan Sulu
