THREATEN TO STRIKE.
Clerks Employed in Italian Govern
ment Offices

Rome, Dec. 21-The clerks in the
ministry Of public works engaged in
a demonstration during the day which.
threatened to develop into a riot or a
strike and required the Intervention
OF the minister and under secretary
before the clerks We're paciiled. The
disturbance was due to the fact that
a bill affecting the interest OF the
clerks in the ministry OF public works
was not discussed In the chamber of
deputies and the agitation among
those clerks began spreading among
the clerks employed in other minis
tries. 1t was pointed out to the
clerks that the bill was not discussed
because the government could not
keep the deputies in Rome. Parlia-
ment only opened about three weeks
ago. bat the deputies insist that they
must have their Christmas holidays.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The senate
has ratified the new commercial treaty
with China. which was negotiated last
summer by Minister Conger.
Only one senator, Mr.. Nelson OF
Minnesota, opposed the treaty. He
made set speech against it, contend
ing that the United States was not
getting all that it deserved from
China and that the opportunity had
been seized by Russia to acquire adj
vantages in the Manchurian and North
China trade which rightfully belonged,
in part at least, to this country.
Among those who spoke in favor of
the treaty were Messrs. Morgan and
Pettus of Alabama Mr.. Morgan said
he regarded the convention as one OF
the best ever negotiated by Mr.. Hay
and referred especially to the protec-
ton afforded to missionaries by article

TWO HIS VICTIMS
Women Brutally Assaulted by a
Negro Near st. Louis.
POSSE SEARCHING FOR HIM
One Woman, CoIored, Describes Her
Assaulter Before Losing Conscious.
ness-other Victim Was a White
Girl.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 24-Two wom-
en-, one white, the other colored, were
assaulted and left for dead about three
and half miles east of East st. Louis
Tuesday afternoon, and posse is
looking for negro described by one
OF his victims. If he should be cap
tured it is believed there will be a
lynching, for the double crime has
caused great excitement and indigna-
ton among the farmers of the vicinity
One of the victims, Mrs. Annie
Green, colored, aged rs, was dubbed
about the head, her skull fractured
and left arm broken. Just before re-
'lapsing into Inconsistencies she told
0f the assault and described a light
tolored negro as her assailant. She
was evidently the first victim of the
man, who later appeared at the home
Of John Bruna, farmer living be-
tween East st. Louis and Belleville,
and committed the second crime.
A brother Of Miss Florence Bruno
returned home and found his sister ly.
ing on her bed in an unconscious con.
dition. Her skull was fractured, both
arms were broken and she was suffer.
ing from other injuries. The young
woman had been at home alone during
the afternoon. Young Bruno spread
the alarm and then the other assault
became known.
The posse of farmers, reinforced by
the chief of police of East st. Louis
apd members Of his force, and the
sheriff of St. Clair county with a num-
Der Of deputies, started in a search
and have surrounded a man on an is
land formed by backwater from the
Mississippi food. 1t is not known who
the man is.

State Press Association Having a
Good Time at the 500.


Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, June "a
Although rain marred to some extent
the pleasure of the day Tuesday for
the Michigan Press ASSOCIATION, they
nevertheless succeeded in finding
plenty to amuse themselves. The day
was spent in seeing the various indus.
tries of the two cities and in shooting
the rapids.
Fully one hundred of the members
placed themselves in the hands of the
Indians for hair-raising shoot
through the foam of the falls that
have made the two Soos what they
are. No accidents occurred, and most
of them pronounced the sport worth
the trial.
The program last night was marred
by the fact that Senator Alger and
Congressman William Alden Smith
were unable to come, disappointing the
associatiCH at the last minute. The
program as carried out consisted of
Dpealling by Chase S. Osborn and vari-
Gus members of the association, in ad-
dition to which story telling and dane
Ing were INDUCED in.

Sweet Scotch Voices.

For real beauty Of speech many ex-
perts think that we must go to the
glens that surround the highland capt.
tai. Sir Morell Mackenzie used to say
that the prettiest speakers were to be
found in the Badenoch district of In
verness-shire. A wider knowledge
would probably have induced him to
modify his views and give the palm to
the glen folk of the north and west Of
Inverness-shire. The voices of the
highlanders are set low, and yet the
articulation is clear, distinct and dra-
matte. One inclines to liken their
speech to many beautiful things-to the
clear, mellow note of a bell or the MUIR
muir Of running water. The infection
of the voice is singularly engaging, ris-
ing and falling with exquisite cadences
like bewitching music. and this, be it
remembered, is the speech Of the COM
mon people.
