Surviving Veterans Of Civil War
Assemble for Thirty eighth
Time.

Boston, Mass, Aug. 15.-For the
thirty-eighth time since the civil war
the surviving veterans who fought in
the union army assembled today in
annual encampment gathering in Bos-
ton. The encampment Of the veterans
as we'll as of the subsidiary organiza-
lions, including the National Woman's
Relief corps the National Daughters
of Veterans, the National Sons of Vet
Grams and other organizations, was
formally opened today.
Massachusetts Sons Of Veterans,
stationed at the railroad terminals, re-
ceived the incoming delegations and
escorted them to their hotels or head
quarters.
Of the events scheduled for today
the principal one was the parade OF
the union ex-prisoners of war, Mas
sachusetts naval brigade, jackies and
marines from the warships in Boston
harbor, and others. The men of the
G. A. r. were to be spectators. Their
own big parade was to come Tuesday
with business sessions later in the
week and with campflres and recep.
tons interspersed.
conservative estimate of the PEG.
pie in the city on account of the en-
campment, places the number at 100,.
600, with the likelihood of another
100000 for the G. A. r. parade to-
morrow.

IN RUSSIAN CITIES
Riots Give Rise to Butcheries

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Aug. 15.-The Jewish
Morning Journal prints the following
from it's Warsaw (Russia) correspond
emit:
"On Sunday, July 81, in the city Of
Jew was quarreling with a gentle.
The latter, who was an epileptic,
fell during the encounter, as a result
of one of his epileptic fits. The
Christian bystanders, however, raised
the cry that the Jew murdered their
comrade. The riot that ensued re-
solved itself into an awful massacre
Of Jews, of whom twenty were killed
and great number were wounded.
The massacre lasted all day.
Another massacre occurred on
Saturday, July 80, in the town of
Potseveh government of Sedlitz) in
the following manner:
"a local clergyman induced a small
Hebrew girl to embrace the Christian
faith. The parents of the girl went
to the church where their daughter
was confined, accompanied by some of
their Jewish friends, and demanded
her release on the ground that the
court decided that the girl was un-
der age and could not act independ-
emily in such a matter, and that conse-
quently her parents had the right to
interfere with her action.
"The clergyman, seeing that the
Jews were determined to use force il
necessary, called the mayor to his aid
The two melted the populace
against the Jews and a fierce riot en-
sued. More than a hundred Jews
were severely wounded. The humble,
of dead is unknown, because the police
withhold the facts"

LONG TIE.UP TN
GOTHAM IMPENDS
Building Operations May Cease
for Finish Fight Over Open
Shop.
zA17zZZAz 5KpYDLQEY.

New York, Aug. 15.-Today began
the third and possibly the decisive
week in the controversy which
threatens to put a stop to building
operations for months to come. 1t is
said that everything points to fight
to the finish between labor unions
and the Building Trades Employers
association over the question of the
open shop.
About $4,000 men are out Of work,
including skilled mechanics and la
borers, as the result of the present
difficulty. About 10000 skilled work.
men in the building trades in this city
would be affected by "a general strike
or lockout. In addition. it iss esti-
mated that $4,000 helpers or laborers
and $4,000 employed by material men
would be thrown out of work. thus
making total of 100000.
Their loss in wages would amount
in round figures to $10,O00,000 a
month, in addition to the capital Of
the 1000 members Of the Building
Trades Employers association, and
the millions Of dollars invested In
property undergoing improvement
that would be tied up.

TIT GRWSER R055N
JAPANESE DEFEAT
SIBERIAN FLEET
Rurik Sunk and Two Cruisers
Sent Limping Away in
Flight.

Toxic, Aug. 15.-Vice Admiral Ka-
nimura encountered the Russian Via
divostok squadron at dawn yesterday
north Of Tsu island, in the Strait Of
Korea, and attacked the enemy at
once. The battle lasted for five hours
and resulted in a complete Japanese
victory. The Russian cruiser Rurik
was sunk and the cruisers Rossia and
Gromoboi fled to the northward after
having sustained serious damage.
Whether they can make their home
port is doubtful. ~
The Japanese admiral has three
cruisers Of greater speed, and torpedo
boats from Fukuyama will try to in
tercept the Russians.
The Rurik carried 1853 men. Her
steel armor was from five to ten
inches thick and only desperate fight
ing could have sunk her. The Jap
anese losses in men were small and
there was no material damage to the
fleet.
A dispatch to the admiralty from
the naval establishment at Takeshiki
says Admiral Kamimura met the
Vladivostok squadron twenty miles
from Ulsan, Korea, at o'clock Sun
day morning. The battle ended at
1880 am.
The Rurik sank by the stern, her
bow standing up perpendicularly.
Inc Japanese rescued 45U members
of. the Rurik's crew.
The Rossia and the Gromoboi
caught fire several times and were
!! heavily damaged.
One of the Japanese ships was hit.
Two Japanese were killed and seven
were: wounded.
Survivors Landed.
Nagasak reports that 500 Of the
survivors of the Rurik Of the Vladivo-
stok squadron, sunk by Admiral
Kamimura, have arrived at Sasebo
| the Japanese naval base.
| Underneath the jollity Of the popu-
lace lies a feeling of deep satisfaction
and qualification of the disposal Of a
desperately serious problem Of the
war. The Russian squadron which
confronted Admiral Togo refused bat
! tie. 1t was stronger than Admiral
