Tells of the Czar's Friendly Fee1ng
 Toward America.
 NEW YORK, June 3.-Mr. McCor- mick, American ambassador to the court of St. Petersburg, who has just arrived home, speaking of the massa- ere at Kishineff, said:
 ''The affair happened about the time was leaving the country, and I was not called upon by my government to take any official steps. So far as know the imperial government was not responsible for the killing of the Jews, and they have. I understand, removed the governor of that section.
 '"The czar has the most friendly feel ing toward this country, and he has made expressions of his friendliness."
 Regarding Russia's intentions in Manchuria he said, Russia will un- doubtedly maintain the open door or she would not have put in the Manchu- rian railway, which is costing $2,50O,- GOO a month"
 Mir. Mccormick had this to say about his court costume, which was described as magnificent affair:
 'The description of my court dress was evidently q mistake made in send ing in the report I wore only the ordi- nary dress. It was the same dress as was worn by my predecessors. There was some gilt on it, but only what was necessary te distinguish one of my po- sitiOn"

HOSIERY MILLS JOIN
Fully Eight Thousand Now
 In Idle Army.
FIFTY-EICHT FIRMS HAVE CONCEDED
The Fifty-Rve Hour Week to the United Workers at PhiIadeI~ phia's Great Textile and
 Hosiery Mills.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3. - The strike of the textile workers of Phila- delphia for a fifty-f1ve hour week spread to the hosiery mills, tying up the textile industry tighter than 1t has been since the great suspension was lnaugurated. Fully 5000 persons join- ed the already large army of idle workers Most of these were women and children employed in the hosiery mills in the Kensington district.
 This class of workers are morgan ized, but they decided to join the ranks of the unionfsts in other branches of the textile trade when they Saw the magnitude of the movement for shorter week. It is probable that most of the women and children will be or ganized into unions, and efforts will be made to bring out the workers in other hosiery plants.
 It was given out by. the executive board of the textile workers that ten additional firms had agreed to give their employees the fifty-tive hour week. This makes f1fty-eight firms that have conceded the demands. It is estimated that upward of 10000 per- sons are now working under the condi- tions demanded by the unions of the thirty nine branches of the textile in- dustries affected by the strike. The leaders of the strikers express conf dence that the workers will win their fight and point to the fact that firms are each day agreeing to the demands of the union.
 On the other hand, the manufactur- CTS who have not acceded to the un- ions request-and among them are some of the largest mill owners in the lndustry-feel confident that the men cannot win. They declare they will close down their establishments indefi- nitely before submitting to the union.

William Anderson's Horse Took a Lit
 tie Extra Exercise.
 The regular monthly meeting of the Watertown fire department was held at the rooms last evening. A fairly good attendance was present.
 Mrs ,HanlOn, aged 50 years, died at her residence near the depot at [ o'clock last evening. Mrs Hanlon had been resident of this town but few years, having moved here from Schuylkill, Pa. She was member of St Johns Catholic church and up to the time she was taken i'll about five weeks ago was a regular attendant at mass. She leaves two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. The funeral ar- engagements have not been entirely completed. The remains will probably be taken to Pennsylvania for burial.
 William Anderson while driving on the East Side road yesterday morning had occasion to enter one of the houses in the vicinity of Echo lake and during his absence the horse took the idea into his head to run away. This plan was immediately carried into ef- feet and few moments later horse was seen to dart past the M. Hemin- way & Sons silk mill. When the horse reached the corner at St Johns church he started up Colgan's hill, dur ing the ascent of which Randall At wood brought his exertions to a sudden termination.

Gun boat on the Ohio.

Gunboats were common on the Mis-. sissippi river forty years ago. Tn recent years the river has seldom foated ships of the navy. Conse- quently, when the monitor Arkansas. one of the newest ships of its class, steamed up the river recently on it's way to St. Louis, it attracted much at- tention. It astonished and delighted the people of Evansville, Ind, by mak- ing an excursion up the Ohio as far a s that city, for not since the civil war had any ship of the navy touched at that port. Both the Mississippi and the Ohio are deep enough to float much larger vessel than the Arkansas.

Those states which are noted for the production of forage crops not only have maintained the original fer tility of the soil, but they spend for commercial fertilizers less than one per cent. of the annual size of their crops, while those states which pay least attention to forage crops have impoverished the soil and spend an- nually for fertilizers from five to nine per cent. of the total value of their crops.- Journal.

The fisheries of northern Norway have come to standstill, owing to tremendous influx of seals along the coast and in the fjords. The seals; which come from the White sea, have been fought without avail. The large fishing population has 2petitioned the government for help to exterminate the plague, which is partly eating and partly hunting all fish away.-Fishipg GaZette

petition he states that on March q a
suit TO quet the title on some land on
Wichita and Water streets was filed by
Jay G. Brown against Amelia A. Arm
strong, Mr. Howe and several others
Mr.. Howe claimed an interest in the es-
tate by virtue of q tax title and quit
claim deed.
On May 10Th he alleges that Hardin
Ebey came to him and asked him to give
a quit claim deed to the property. The
petition says that Howe paid the attor-
ney 80 Mr.. Howe alleges that Mr.. Ebey
told him that the deed would be made
out and the money would be paid over
and that it was not necessary for Mr..
Howe to make answer to the suit or APP
pear in court.
On June 9Th the cause was heard and a
Judgment rendered for Mr.. Brown which
quieted the title to the property. Then
Mr. Howe alleges that he went to Mr..
Ebey's Office and asked for the ten dol
lars and that he would deliver the deed,
and he further alleges that Mr.. Ebey re-
fused to pay the money, saying that the
title had already been quieted. Mr.. Howe
alleges that the judgment was secured
by fraud and asks the court to vacate it.
