 New York, Aug. 26.-Henry Frederick, who left New York city on July on the steamer Deutschland for a tour around the world with the hope of breaking the record for the shortest time consumed in circling. the globe, ar turned to New York tonight on the New York Central railroad. MT. Fred erick had been successful in his en- deavor. having made the circuit in fifty four days, seven hours and twenty min utes. Tn speaking of his MT Frederick said:
 My object in making the trip was to see the quickest time man could go around the world comfortably. The train ride from Paris to Dalny, China, consumed eighteen days. Two days were spent crossing the Yellow Sea and two more by rail across Japan. At Yo- .kohama I missed my steamer by ten hours and lost seven days, as l was compelled to take slow boat two days later which spent sixteen days oIi the Pacific. landed at Victoria and cross ed the continent ill little over four days. This, with the Deutschland's s fast time of six days across the Atlantic, made my record of fifty-four days.
 MT. Frederick said that he found the line of the trans Siberian railroad swarming with Russian troops, who were being poured into Manchuria at the rate of 1000 a day At Port Arthur were concentrated thirty-seven war ships of all classes. In Japan he found the feeling for war with Russia running very high and active preparations being made for hostilities.

YESUVIUS' NEW OUTBREAK
FIERY STREAM BELCHES FROM
 NEW OPENING.


 seene-vofoano Opens Like a Hugo mouth . Thousand Feet Below the cono-Great Stream of Lava Felt at
 One Time.
 Naples, Aug. 26.-The people of Ma ples and the enyirons witnessed re- markable spectacle at noon to-day. One thousand feet below the central cone of yesuvius the volcano opened like huge mouth, out of which belched a fiery stream of lava, which ran down the side of the mountain and which first seemed to menace the observatory. This building, however, is protected in the direction of the stream by mound of lava 200 feet high, which was thrown out during the eruptions of 1895 and 1900. The eruption occurred without any warning whatever. There was no earthquake. detonation or rain of ashes nothing but a clear stream of lava and red-hot stones, which were thrown to height of 700 feet, producing an extremely beautiful effest as seen from Naples. The stream of lava, which is fifteen feet broad, at il o'clock tonight had covered distance of 2,70o feet. It deviated later from the direction of the observatory, which is no longer men, aced. The only danger is for the new electric tramway up the volcano, which, however, has thus far not been touched The eruption already seems to be de- creasing, and it is hoped that no dam age will result from it.
 The spectators far enough away not to be frightened stood entranced at the spectacle, but those nearer to the vol cano were seized by panic when the eruption began and rushed down from the sides of the mountain and from the adjacent country to the villages of Por- tici and Resina, which are built over the ruins of Herculaneum. The alarm in these villages was somewhat quieted by the mayors affixing notices declar- ing that there was no danger and ex- horting the people to remain calm.
 The chief of police of Naples has gone personally to make tour of the vil- lages around Vesuvius in order to reas- sure the peasants and superintend any measures of protection which may be deemed necessary. The superstitious lower classes are agitating for the ex- pulsion of Professor Drull, of Munish, who predicted the eruption, declaring that he has the "evil eye"

RUBBER SHOP STRIKE.
Rootmakers Orgnntze and Strike May
 Become General. #

Rootmakers Organize and Strike Mny
 Become General. f
 The prospects for the strike of the shoemaking girls at the L. Candee rub ber shop becoming general and extend ing to all parts of the big factory are increasing. E. { An enthusiastic and determined meet ing of the boot makers and cutters, the male help of the shop, was held last night in St. Patrick's hall and prelimin- ary arrangements looking to the or ganization of local auxiliary to the Amalgamated Association of Rubber Workers were completed. Another meeting of these workers will be held in St. Patrick's hall, 731 Grand avenue, at 8 o'clock tonight, when the details of the organization will be completed and the union will make application for a charter,
 It can be stated on good authority that If the demands of the girls are not acceded to within day or two there will be a general strike of the boot makers and cutters which means about 1,400 experienced men. This number with the 700 girls now on strike brings the number out up to nearly 1000. Thus far S7S of the striking girls have joined the union and it is expected that the rest of them will be on the list by to- night.
 At q conference between the officials of the company and committee from the girls it is stated that the girls de- cided to accept fourteen pairs of shoes as a set but not sixteen as the com pany offered. If this number is agreed upon there will be a cessation of hos tilities and all will return to work, but the girls assert they will never agree to call sixteen pair a set.
