HUNGRY FOR SENSATION.
Russian Comment on EurOpea Hys-
terics Over the Knizer's Message
to Regiment.

st. Petersburg, July 13.-Emperor
Williams message Of good wishes to
the Winborg regiment is attracting
much less attention here than at other
capitals.
The Novoe Vremya says: Europe is,
indeed, hungry for a sensation. The
message was to a regiment of which
Emperor William is honorary colonel
and they find therein possibility Of a
breach of neutrality"
The Bourse Gazette, pro-German pa
per, is the only one which i%nterprets
the message as evidence of German
friendly neutrality" declaring it to
be a guarantee that Emperor William
never will attempt to offer mediation,
adding that a monarch so proud of a
regiment bearing his name in fighting
for the honor of it's country, never will
thus affront Russia.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY
A British Army Officer in India Has
Declared War on Leprosy.
Has Succeeded in CnItivatinr the
Bacillus of the Disease, which He
Is Using With Good Effect.

New York, July 13.-Capt. e. r. Royt,
of the Indian medical service, has sue
ceeded in %cultivating the bacillus of
leprosy, according to dispatches from
Rangoon, Burmah, says a Times special
from London. He has made a sub
stance from the cultures which he calls
leprolin, and which, when injected into
lepers, has marked beneficial action,
alternating the symptoms of the dis
ease.
The method of growing the bacillus
is to extract the salts from the nutrient
media, and Capt. Ross has discovered
that the bacillus will not grow in the
presence of the salt. In order 10 make
sucn nutrient media he distills beef ex-
tract soaked in pumice stone in a cur
rent of superheated steam, and obtains
a medium in which the bacillus of
leprosy, and also that of tuberculosis,
grows with greatest ease.
Over 100 cases of leprOsy are being
treated in. Burmah by injections of this
substance, and the treatment is also
being tried in 80 places in India. AL
ready four cases have beer reported
cured, and in the great majority OF
those under treatment the improve
ment is said to be marked.

BRIEF AND DISASTROUS.

An Affair at Molten Pass, Where
the Russians Suffered Severely.
At the Front with Gen. Kurokf's
Forces, July 4, via Seoul, Korea, July
13.-The brief and disastrous attempt
Of the Russians to overwhelm the small
japanese force which guarded the en-
trance to the Mo Tien pass was a
bloody affair. The Japanese troops
again exhibited their resourcefulness
and courage, and the Russians again
threw ay>y many lives The losses can
not be ascertained until the battlefield
has been searched. The Japanese are
still driving the enemy up the valley.
The correspondent saw enough to JUS
tify the estimate that the Russians had
more than 200 men killed or wounded,
and that the Japanese casualties prob
ably will amount to 60. The Russians
left 80 dead in front of and in the
trench where the attack began. At this
point they had an equal number OF
men severely wounded, and the Japan
csc took several prisoners and captured
100 rifles. The Russians were seen car
rying away two Japanese who had been
either killed or wounded.

His PRAYER Guaoe.

Gov. A. P. Montague, of Virginia. is
a good story teller as well as a wise
and progressive chief magistrate. At
Hampton Institute he compared the
never-failing sense of justice between
men and told a story of a ~sagacious
old slave in the year of the falling
stars"
The negro was on a plantation on
an island in the Rappahannock river.
On the night of the most terrific me-
teoric shower the negroes were all
assembled on the shore, weeping,
shouting. and, above all. praying
vociferously. But one old slave,
Uncle Caesar by name. off at m
side under a pine tree, was making
no sound and uttering no prayer. He
had rugged a sort of scuint with a
pole. and had it trained on a point
in the skies.
By and by one Of the other negroes
came along and said: "Uncle Caesar,
amt it bout time you begun to
pray?" Not yit," said CaeSar: 81 got
my pole p'inted at de Moth star, an
when dat star begins to fizzle an fool
den I'm gwine ter git down an pray

CROPS IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA
Prospective Failure of the Crops In
Southern Russia With an
Attendant Famine.

st. Petersburg, July 13.-The pros
pective failure of the crops in some
of the southern provinces, possibly at
tendant with famine, and the neces-
sity of adopting relief measures is be-
ginning to attract attention. The gov
ernments of Kherson, B~essarabia, Tau
rida, Poltava and Kharkoff are prin-
cipally affected. In the district of
Triaspol, the peasants have already
been compelled to harvest the unripe
crops to feed the live stock. Commit
tees have been appointed to relieve the
distress.
The failure of the crops is attributed
to the early autumn frosts, insufficient
moisture while sowing, the fuctuating
weather of the winter, the total abb
sence of snow, the heavy frosts which
followed, the late spring frosts in May
and the infrequency of rains for the
cereals and hay. In some districts no
rain has fallen. In many parts OF
Bessarabia cattle are being sold for al
most nothing.

Painters CareIessness.

st. Louis, July 13.--The Columbia

wrecked by fire shortly after moor The
fire was under control at 1 p. m. One
fireman was overcohle.
A painters ~blowpipe is said to have
started the fire. The device was left
lighted on the first floor while he went
to lunch. The entire floor was a fur
mace when he returned.

The Only Ray of Hope is the Posi-
bility of Arbitration Being
Brought to Bear.
NUMEROUS OTHER INDUSTRIES
WILL FEEL EFFECTS OF STRIKE.
The Consuming Public VIII he
Among the First to Suffer, the Re-
sultant Higher Prices of Meats
Falling on Their Shoulders
Prices Are Already Going Up.

Chicago, July 13.-With no sign of
weakening on either side, the only ray
of hope in the butchers strike situation
was the possibility that arbitration
may intervene to prevent a labor war
fraught with suffering and privation
to the strikers and heavy loss to the
packers.
fined to the employees and packers in
the nine cities where the fight will be
centered. The consuming public will
bear a large share of the burden in
higher prices for meats Reports al
ready have come from various cities
hat prices of the product have been
raised. This advance, too, was said to
be a f%orerunner of others if the con-
fict continued long.
In addition to the so, 900 employees al
ready on strike, upward of 10000
are involved indirectly, and most OF
them probably will be made idle. In
addition to the slaughtering depart
ments of all the plants being tied up,
the strike affects branch industries in
which such articles as butterine, soap,
buttons and combs are manufactured.
The canning departments, where beans,
soups and all kinds of meats are put
up are also hit hard, the union en-
plOyes having gone out in a body.
Forty thousand persons, approx
mately, find employment in the big
packing houses in Chicago, and this
number already has been reduced one
half. The effect of the strike upon the
mechanical and other departments, it is
declared, will increase this army of IN
employed in Chicago before the end OF
the week to nearly $4,000.
Arbitration is looked upon as the
only means to avert d prolonged strike.
The strikers declare that they will be
willing to consider any reasonable
proposition submitted from the other
side.
The detail of police at the stock
yards has been increased in number,
and all night long the officers patroled
the strike district and the streets ad-
jacent to the yards, in pairs.
There was considerable speculation
as to whether the packing house
teamsters would go out on a sympa-
thetic strike. George Golden, business
agent of the union, set all doubts at
rest al a meeting of the teamsters'
joint council by announcing that the
teamsters will remain at work as long
as there was work for them to do.

NEAT FAMINE EXPECTED.
New York City Expects to Face q
Meat Famine In n Few Days.

New York city Expects to Face q
Meat Famine In N Few Days.
New York. July ia meat famine
is possible here within a few days if
the widespread strike Of the butchers
union continues. There is a large
amount of meat on hand in the numer-
Gus packing houses about the city, but,
as $500 members Of the union have
been ordered to quit work, there will
be no one to cut up the supply.
Practically all of the city's beef
comes from Chicago and other points
affected by the strike, and the cutting
off OF the supply mea a famine if the
trouble continues. Even if the strike
does not last more than two or three
days its effects will be felt more or
less. If it lasts a much longer time
we shall simply have to stop eating
beef.
The strike has already caused an adj
anc of n cent a pound in the whole
sale price of beef here, while the re-
tailers generally have increased their
demands.

Retailers of Meats Have Begun to
Their Prices.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 13.-Retailers
say there will be NO immediate increase
in the price of meats in this city as a
result of the packing house mems
strike, if at all. In spite of this there
has been a slight advance at retail
shops. Most of the bigger dealers have
already arranged for a supply of meat
that will last several weeks, and most
of them will do their own killing. Big
hotels and most of the important res
t~aurants have contracts with dealers
to furnish their meat and they pro-
fess to believe there will be 40 short
age in their supplies. Two of the To-
cal packing houses least affected by
the recent food have supplies on hand
sufficient, they say, to supply the local
trade for a month. One of these houses
Is killing On a limited scale and will
attempt to supply certain outside trade
also. The four other plants have sup
plies that will last the local trade for
two or three days.

Omaha, Neb., July 13.-There we're
no new developments in the packing
house strike at South Omaha, and ev-
erything continued in an orderly nan
ner. There were practically no re-
ceipts at the stock yards. There was

although Swift began slaughtering a
few cattle. At all the other plants the
limited force vas kept busy in an at
tempt to take care of perishable prop
erty, a great deal of which was left on
hand when the men went on strike.
Prices have advanced at all the pack
ing houses a fraction, and the belief
is expressed that they will continue
to do SO as the supply of fresh meat
becomes nearer exhausted.
The closing of the packing houses
has had the effect of throwing a great
number of men out of employment who
were not directly employed at the pack
ing plants. These include railroad
men, stock yards employees and others
whose employers depended on the pack
ing house business to sustain their own
business interests. n

Explain AIexiefY's Report.
st. Petersburg. July 13.-The officers
Of the general staff do not offer ex-
plantations of what Admiral x
means by japanese sources" In the
report of the Port Arthur affair, but
they declare that the viceroy would not
have officially reported such important
news unless it had reached him from
sources entirely worthy Of credence- AT
the same time they say the report
should be accepted with reserve, pend
ing the receipt of more definite adj
vices. In support of TIE report, how
ever, they point out that the date COIN
cides with the second attempt OF Adj
miral Togo's torpedo boat destroyers
to creep into the harbor. 1t is true that
TOGO does not mention a land attack,
but this is not in his province. The loss
of 80, 900 of the besiegers in an attack
against Notifications withs guns in POI
sition and the approaches sown with
mines is considered quite within the
range of possibility, if the Japanese,
as on other occasions stormed the for
tifications with their accustomed reck-
lessness, and especially if the mines
were exploded under masses of men.
The general staff already had infor-
nation that the besiegers had occupied
.Taku-Shan hill, three miles northeast
ofAthe harbor, but added that the Jap
anese were unable to hold the position
If the report of the loss of 10000
Japanese is confirmed. Gen. Nodzu's

New England Provision Interests
VIII Slaughter mt Home.

Boston, July 13.-The New England
provision interests are preparing to
meet an expected shortage of western
beef as a result of the strike of butch
ers and packers. In this city beef deal
ers are making arrangementsto slaugh=
ter in abbatoirs near the city, to which
the cattle will be brought on the hoof
from all parts of the New England,
New York and nearby states. The
meat supply was short before the strike
was called, according to the meat ex-
porters, and wholesale prices have al
ready advanced from 50 to So a hum
dredweight. Retail prices have been
advanced one cent a pound, and will be
advanced from day to day, dealers say,
unless the strike is settled. One Of
the large firms involved in the Chicago
strike operates a big packing house in
eastern Maine, for the export trade,
and it is understood that the output
will be turned into the domestic mar
ket.
