IDENTIFIED WITH RIGGS BANK
New York Capital Also TO Be Invested
in It-Large Building to Be
Erected for II.

Washington is to have another large
trust company. Just when the new in
stitution viii be called into existence
has not yet been definitely decided. but
that il will be added to the National
Capitals big financial concerns is a
hxed fact.
Those most prominently identified with
he projected enterprise are naturally
reluctant TO go into details so far in ad-
vance of the prospective contamination.
Indeed. they say no details OF any kind
have been considered. All that is settled
is the eventual establishment. some time
before the close Of the current year. OF
trust company which will rival. if IL
does not exceed, in the magnitude OF its
resources any similar institution now
In operation here.
Local and New York Capitalists.
The gentlemen who will be most
closely interested in the new concern
are men prominent in the control of the
Riggs National Bank of this city and the
National City Bank of New York. In
fact. il can be stated that there w4lI be
a close communion OF interest between
the Riggs and the new trust company.
Just what the capital OF the trust
company will be it is. Of course. inpos-
sible TO indicate at this time. Under
the law no trust company can start busi-
ness in the District with capital of less
than S1,OOO.OO0. but Il is safe to say that
the new concern will organize with a
capital largely in excess of that amount.
1t is equally undetermined who will be
the chief officers. although IL is stated
on what appears to be good authority
that the presidency has been, or will be
rendered to w. Riley Deeble. a promi-
nent real estate dealer Of the city.
On Site of Old Riggs Bank.
The new trust company will be
eventually located in a large building

Riggs Bank. at Fifteenth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue. The contract for
this edifce. which viii also have se-
commodations in it's upper stories for a
large number OF Offices. will probably
be given out some time In the fall. It
viii be remembered that John r Nc
Lean. now one OF the largest stock
holders in the Riggs National Bank.
bought the old bank building from
Francis E. Riggs at the time he ac-
quired the latter's holdings in the Riggs
Bank Mr.. Mclean contemplates a triT
10 Europe in the near future. and until
his return nothing will be done in re-
lation to the erection of the new struc-
ture. The organization OF the trust com
pany. however. will be undertaken even
before plans for the new building may
have been matured. and the concern will
occupy temporary quarters until it's
permanent abode is ready.

B. & B. STRIKERS OUT.
Crowds of Men Clamoring For Work
 at the Factory.

Crowds of Men Clamoring For Work
 at the Factory.
 There is nothing new in the strike situation in the polishing department at Benedict & Burnham's. The men have appointed a press committee and strike committee and st7te that the rumor that another con1erence was to be held to-day is not so. A few new men were hired to-day, but some of them quit when they learned what was up. Whether the others know or care is something that cannot be said at this time with any show of accuracy The sidewalk in front of the premises was blocked with men of all sorts and conditions this morning, and one woul,l think by the way they acted that they were considering proposition to go in whether they were wanted or not. Some of them were peering through the gate while others had climbed up the fence and would have succeeded in effecting an entrance were it not for the barbed wire that runs on top of the pickets. People who work in other parts of the factory claim that they see no reason why the differences cannot be adjusted and the men put back on their jobs without any sacrifice of prin- ciples on either side, but it is evident that the company's officials and the men notice obstacles which they find 1t difficult to overcome.

THE SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY.
Cause of Trouble at the Bohl Bologna
 Factory.

l The Saturday half holiday, which has caused much trouble in the past, continues to be a trouble maker. It is claimed that the men in a number of places are given whole day instead of half holiday and those lose days pay instead of receiving days pay for half days work. This has led to much grumbling and muttering among the men thus treated, but that's as far as it has gone. There has been much talk but little action.
 Four men who worked in the bo- logna factory of the Valentine Bohl Go have been treated as explained above. The company has probably found it cheaper to lay the men off all day Saturday than to have them work a half day and receive full days pay The Saturday half holiday, therefore, proved of no benefit 10 the men, in fact it was an injury to them. They would have no doubt preferred to work tho entire day and receive days pay than not to work at all and get noth- ing. They protested, it is said, to John Sachenhauser, treasurer of the company, but the protest was of no avail. Friday night they went out on strike and are still on strike. It is possible that the matter may be satis- factorily adjusted within tha-next few days.
 MT Sachenhauser was asked in re- gard to the trouble. He said that there was little trouble of any account that he knew of. The trouble was with the men. They want pay for work they didn't do. He stated that the men work on Saturdays whenever there is any work for them, but if there is no work for them, then the men have to be laid off.
 Asked if there would be any settle ment he replied: We're satisfied.s He said that he wouldn't hire any new men, that he could do the work him. self. He was sure that he could do the work of four men.

DIR GUNsAULUs SPEAKS.
He Compares Peter, Paul and Pope
 Leo XIII.


 New York. Aug g2s.-The Rev Dr F. W. Gunsaulus of Chicago, preaching in the Collegiate church here, took for his text the words of Paul in Acts, "I must see Rome" He referred briefly to re cent and present events in Rome, and in concluding said:
 "As we turn our eyes to- ward Rome we are inclined to think of it as Peters Rome rather than of 1t as the Rome that Paul was constrained to see. As the ages passed Rome became more and more as the seat of Peters theology and for his methods, as when he drew the sword"
 Dr Gunsaulus described Peters na- ture as large and rich and blunder- ing" and said that he was never safe except when acting under the direct in- f1uence of Christ. Leo XIII had at- tained, he said, to his great influence in the world because in him it had seen once more the spirit of Paul. He add ed:
 ''The world of to-day did not inquire so much as to whether in Leo XIII 1t beheld the successor of Peter, as wheth- CT in him Paul did not once more see Rome Bye and bye we shall see a more glorious Rome. a Rome with our better civilization. with greater light than the Rome of old, a Rome which upholds no monarch in the absolute power. a Rome without beggar on it's streets"

unable to Find the Baby That Disap-
 peared Two Weeks Ago.
 New York, Aug 3.-Although spurred in their efforts by offers of a large re ward, the police have not been able to find the slightest trace of the beautiful baby daughter of Giacoma Lapuma, an Italian fruit dealer residing ill West Forty-sixth street. The child, who is 25s. years old, disappeared twelve days ago. At first itSwas thought she had clambered out of her cart on the side walk while her mother had left her a few moments, but thorough search leads to the belief that the little one was Kidnapped.
 From neighboring people the detec- tives have learned that a private car riage, in which rode richly dressed woman, was seen about the place be- fore the baby disappeared. It Is sell dom that private conveyance is seen in this particular locality and its ap- pearance excited considerable notice The searchers are now fully convinced that the woman was kidnapper.

SHE CHANGED THE BILL.
And Kept Not Only the Change But
 the Bill Also.

Y
 the Bill Also.
 Mrs Proctor, who lives at 90 Vol colt street, sent her little 7-year-old daughter down to store this morning with $5 bill to have it changed. On her way to the store the child met a small girl, about 12 to IA years of age. who lives on Howard street. The lat ter asked the child where she was going and the child innocently replied that she was going to have S5 bill changed. Thereupon the older girl stated that she would get it changed and at the same time took the bill. She went into two or three stores but could not get it changed. She then handed the purse back to the Proctor child, pretending that she had put the $5 in 1t. The child returned home and then her mother discovered that there was no bill in the pocketbook Mrs Proctor immediately sent after Police Officer Brickel, who is on duty in the eastern section. The matter had just been ex- plained to him when the Italian girl came along. She was pulling a brand new wagon in which was new clothes basket, which was filled with $3 or $4 worth of dishes. Everything was new. She claimed that she bought them at the 5 and 1O-cent store for $2.25 whi Il her mother gave to her. She denied taking the $5 bill and kept denying it. The officer accompanied her to her home but she told the same story to her mother. The officer therefore told Mrs Proctor the only thing that could be done under the circumstances was to have a warrant issued for the child's arrest. Later in the day. however, the girls mother paid the $5 back to Mrs Proctor and thus the matter was set tied

Buying War Munitions and Storing
 Provisions at Port Arthur.
 Victoria, B. O., Aug 3.-Ofhcers of the steamer Tacoma, which has ar rived from Yokohama, report that Rus sian agents are buying up large orders of bean cakes at the Japanese ports and storing provisions and war muni- tions at Port Arthur. Troops were also being hurried westward and war was expected to occur at any time.
 An idea of how serious the steam CTS officers regard --- ,--~udtion is shown by the fact that the first inquir- tes they made when the pilot boarded the vessel here was to ask if any ul- timatum had been sent or war de clared.
 The Tacoma brought news to the ef- feet that three Roman Catholic mis- sionaries had been murdered by Chi~ nese insurgents at Pinih ri, in Shan Si province. The remaining missionaries and their families, escorted by Chinese troops, arrived at Hsun Yange, whence they took passage for Hangkow.
