APPEAL TO ARMS.
Crisis Between Russia and Japan
 Seems Imminent


 Seems Imminent.
 Victoria, July 15.-According to ad- vices received by the steamer Empress of India yesterday, the crisis in the far east is close to breaking point and even the most conservative journals fear that war will result as a result of Russian Chinese intrigues. Many newspapers are urging an appeal to arms.
 The Pekin correspondent of the Mainichi says M. Lessar's reference to Russian preparedness is taken to mean that troops are now at the Yalu and that the force along the coast of the Yellow sea is insufficient in strength Russian preparedness is taken to mean that he has received advices from Ad- miral AIexieff that all defensive meas ures in view of a possible Japanese in vasion have been completed along the coast of the Yellow sea and the Korean frontier.
 The United States fleet is still at Che Foo and the Japanese squadron is cruising in northern waters. A dis patch from Mesampho, Korea, says that five Russian battleships and seven torpedo boats are lying there
 Advices from south China report that the rebels in Kwang Si are now stronger than ever. They have estab- lished provisional government. The rebels are said to be governed by the reform party which has branches in America. They look upon the district where the provisional government is established as the headquarters of a great rebellion soon to commence.

Tenth Golf Hole Meant Drink.
 NIASSAPEQUA, N. Y., July 15.- Probably no other place in the country boasts of a ten hole golf course like that at Massapequa. The splendid course was supposed to be perfect. Great was the astonishment of golfers when, having holed out at the ninth, the caddies cried out, "Try the tenth hole, gentlemen!" Sure enough, there was a new target, a big, blood red heart two feet in diameter, with the figure ten in black, confronting them in the distance. Closer inspection showed that the target was affixed to the entrance of cafe where golfers sometimes celebrate.

BREAK IN RANKS
Two More Strikers Returned to
 Work To-Day
MoToRMEN KERRIGAN & CLARK

pecting Something of the Kind Said
 They Refused Their Weekly Allow ance Last Week. Report That More
 Men are Ready to Return.
 The first break which has occurred in the strikers ranks since the deser- tions of Jay Woods and Miles Booth about two months ago, took place to- day. when two of the old trolleymen made applications for their former po- sitions on the local trolley lines. The men are Matthew Kerrigan, who lives at the corner of Mattatuck terrace and Avon avenue, on Grandview Heights, and William M. Clark of Highland avenue Both are motormen Clark and Kerrigan were employed before the strike on the Bank street line. In addition to the two strikers who have returned, two other men who
 were employed on the road before the strike, but were not strikers, are again
 working for the trolley company They | are George Mitchell of the Watertown road, who has been employed in selling medicine, and motOrman named Ar
 thur Warner.
 The return of the strikers was
 a surprise to the public in general. but to the members of the trolleymeT's
 union-and to persons on the inside it may be said that it was not much of surprise Tn fact, it has been expected for several weeks. Tn the case of Mo1
 torman Kerrigan there have been TUT
 mors for the past two or three months
 that he would be apt to return at any time. In fact many of his friends,
 who knew his feelings on the matter. thought that he would have returned
 long before this time It is known that he refused to accept his weekly all | lowance from the strikers fund last | week. His withdrawal from the ranks, as we'll as that of Clark, was, there fore, no surprise. Clark went to work about 1O:3O on the Naugatuck line
 What effect if any, the return of
 these men will have upon the strike cannot be foretold at this time. Wheth- CT or not other strikers will follow their example remains to be seen. Tn all probability, however, unless the strike 1 is settled in manner satisfactory to the strikers and to union men in gen- eral, and unless majority of the men should return to work, it can be safely said that there will not be any appar- ! ent increase in the patronage Of the
 
 pressed by many persons They claim l that the return of two strikers or a
 dozen strikers will have little effect In l increasing the patronage of the cars,
 that as many persons gre riding now
 as will ride for many weeks to come
 unless the strike is aniicably settled. That the strike may be amiably ad 1 justed is the desire of every person in Waterbury. But until it is so settled | the same strained relations as have ex- isted here for the past six months will prevail, and the return of few strik- CTS will do naught to allay them. That there is some truth in the above statements is proved by the comment of President Murnan of the trolley mems union upon the return of the I three strikers: Their return will | make no difference. The road will still be on the unfair list.
