FREIGHT HANDLERS STRIKE.


 BIoodshed at New York-No Freight
 For Rond Accepted at Boston. K NEW YORK, May 26.- Blood wan shed in connection with the strike of the freight handlers employed by the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company when John kane of COS Water street was shot i'll the left shoulder while in the prison pen at the Essex market police court. The shooting, which was the outcome of arrests made because of rioting along the East river front, is alleged to have been done by Lawrence Daily of s73 Montgomery street. Lane was not badly injured.
 The men connected with the shooting are striking freight handlers. They were arrested charged with disorderly conduct in assaulting nonunion man. Policeman Sexton was emphatic in tell ing Inspector Schmittberger that none of the men had revolver when ar- rested.
 A Boston dispatch says shippers have been informed by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad that for the present no freight for New York and vicinity would be accepted. The officials of the road stated that they expected to move the freight now held in that city soon and that shipments might then be receive,.
 The New Haven officials regard their fight with the freight handlers as vir- tually won. Less than 100 freight ham dlers at the New England terminals of the steamboat lines have gone on strike, though it had confidently been expected that every man at Bridgeport, Waterbury, New London, New Haven, Providence, Fall River and New Bed- ford would go out. The only towns where the men struck were Providence and Fall River
 Tn all there are but TOO freight han dlers on strike on the entire system, and the places of nearly all of them have been filled.

Consul Gummere Reports the Situa-

 WASHINGTON, May 26. Consul Gummere reports little progress in the attempt to secure the release of the American, Perdicaris, who was kid naped from his country home by q band of Moroccan bandits, who hold him for heavy ransom, near Tangier last week. In cablegram received from him at the state department the consul says:
 "The situation at Tangier Is not re- assuring. The sultan has sent strong orders to the authorities to act in ac- cordance with the directions of the British minister and myself The ne gotiations are proceeding in highly unsatisfactory manner, though the sul- tan appears to be trying to stimulate the local officials to active efforts"
 An American warship and a British cruiser are on their way to Tangier to take drastic measures against the per- petrators of the outrage.

 LONDON, May 26.--A Chefu report says portion of the Japanese fleet has bombarded Port Arthur. Eight large warships circled before the en- trance of Port Arthur for one hour, firing broadsides at intervals of ten minutes.
 At Dalny everything is quiet, but an attack on the part, of the Japanese is expected hourly. The military and civ il officials of Dalny are ready to leave. Only few civilians remain.
 The attempt made about fortnight ago to destroy the docks and piers at Dalny was not successful, and after the receipt of the news of the loss of the Japanese battleship Hatsuse Lieu tenant General Stoessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur, or dered that the docks and piers be not destroyed.
 The Japanese are in force at PitSewo and Kinchau and are ready to march down either side of the peninsula to- ward Port Arthur.
 Small parties of Japanese scouts have been seen northeast of Mukden ar a considerable distance, but no impor- tant body of the enemy has been To- cated in the vicinity.
 St. Petersburg advices say that tele- graphic communication with :. New chwang is again interrupted, and pri- vate messages for points south of Liao- yang are refused here at the telegraph office. The nature of the interrup- ton with Newchwang is not known, but the cause for refusing messages south of Iiaoyang is the complete ab- sorption of the lines for military pur- poses.
 Advices from St. Petersburg say that General Kuropntkin, in dispatch to the emperor, has stated that the Japa- nese army had again taken up it's ad- vance to the north from Fengwang- cheng, where 10000 troops had been concentrated, but later message from Liaoyang, the Russian headquarters, has reported the mikado's soldiers as again returning to that town.

while professor in a law school

fore me one night, and in the
course of my remarks had occa-
sion to illustrate the smallness
of the world. why, gentlemen,
| said, I can give you no better

perience. Now, all Of you know

and while visiting at Yellow
