Labor Commissioner Gays Some State
Institutions Lack Adequate Fire Pro

Labor Commissioner Gays Some state
institutions Lack Adequate Fire Pro.
lection.
st. Paul, Aug. 3.-The lives of hun
dreds OF men, women and children at
the state institutions are imperiled by
lack of adequate fire protection, &c
cording to a report filed with Gov. S.
r. Van SAINT yesterday of a special in
v~estigation by Labor Commissioner
John ODonnell. Mr.. O'Donnell re-
ports that some of the institutions are
practically without fire protection,
that in others the water supply is in
sufficient and the ire-fighting ap-
paratus is out-of-date or worn out;
that in some instances there are no
fire drills and no printed instructions
as to conduce Of he inmates in time Of
fire. and that in many buildings the
electric wiring is in dangerous condi-
which to remove the inmates from
the upper stories.
Judge O. B. Gould, of the state
board Of control, had not seen a copy
OF the report last night and preferred
not to discuss the subject. He ex-
planned, however, that the board of
control has made and is making sew
eral improvements in the fire protec-
ton and sanitary condition Of the
state institutions, and that II the
board had more money to expend
more alterations would be made.
Mr.. O'Donnell makes an exhaustive
report on the condition at the institu-
tons, and in many instances praises
the management. The fire protection
and plumbing fixtures in some of the
new buildings, he says, are excellent,
and he calls attention to several i'm
provements being made by the state
board of control.

BUILDINGS ARE TIED UP.
Building Trades Alliance Declares a
Strike In New York.

u -
Strike In New York.
New York, Aug. 3. - The building
trades alliance, made up Of seventeen
unions, declared a strike yesterday
against the George A. Fuller Construc-
ton company, and work was tied up
on these buildings: The Times build
ing, Forty-second street and Broad
way; S%turtevant building, Twenty
ninth street and Broadway; Trinity
building, next to Trinity church; New
York hippodrome, Forty-third street
and Boradway, and Taber building,
Wall and Pearl streets. Philip Veins
heimer, president of the building
trades, who declared the strike on the
subway last week, Is responsible for
the present strike. The reason given
for calling out the men was because
of a claim that the Fuller company
has been using stone from non-union
quarries and trimming yards. In some
quarters it is said that the actual
reason for the strike was a fear that
the building trades employers associ-
alton would declare a lockout. The
is extremely bitter between
the two sides and both have been pre-.
for the fight that appears to be

SMUGGLING ON BORDER.
Canadian Goods Brought Across the

Canadian Goods Brought Across the
Rainy River to Evade the Duty.
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 3. - Special
agents of the treasury department at
Washington are now investigating
the report that smuggling is being
done along the Northern Minnesota
border. The claim is that early last
week a systematic scheme of bringing
goods across the border Rainy
lake was unearthed. Men were dis
patched at once to look into the mat
ter. The claim is that Canadian man
ufactured goods are being brought
across the border and sold to country
people at prices cheaper than they
a buy American goods. 1t is the
belief of customs officials here that
the reported smuggling will be found
to be on a small scale, though the re-
port is that some professional New
York and Canadian smugglers are
working the matter. The government
has eight deputies on the boundary,
but they cannot patrol the entire dis
lance effectively.

CASTRO TO FEEL HEAVY HAND
United States Threatens to Seize ne
Various Customs Houses.

vdTIOuS NOoSOIbo
Washington, Aug. 3.-Venezuela IS
to feel the weight of the presidents
big stick if the property OF the New
York & Bermudez Asphalt company Is
not promptly released from the re-
ownership into which it was iaced
by the Venezuelan court IN the ap-
~plication Of President Castro.
Notice to this effect yesterday was
served on President Castro through
Minister Bowen. On accoun OF the
international complications which GER
tainly would follow any drastic action
by this government, the president
hopes that it will not be necessary to-
use force, but he is determined that
the asphalt company shall be pro-
tected at any cost.
Instructions we're cabled to Minis
ter Bowen yesterday to lodge a Wig
orous protest against the seizure Of
the asphalt trusts property.
May Land Marines.
If this is not needed, and If the su-
preme court fails promptly to reverse
itself, the next step will be to seize
the Venezuelan custom houses by ma
rines landed from American warships-
1t was decided that this would be-
the easiest and quickest way to bring
Venezuela to terms, as it would be
practically impossible to send an army
into the interior to seize and guard
the asphalt lakes.
In the event of the seizure of the
custom houses the 80 per cent OF re-
ceipts at La Guayra and Porto CabellO
pledged to the payment of the foreign
debt would be set aside and from the
balance the asphalt trust would be-
regularly paid a sum equal to it's av-
erage monthly profits.
1t is expected that as 10 as the
custom houses are seized, IL that be-
comes necessary, Germany, England
Italy and probably other powers will
ask that they be allowed to join forces
with this country to protect the in
terests of their citizens. This country
would then be forced to either grant
their requests or guarantee that their
interests would be protected and that
interest payments on foreign bonds
would not be interfered with. 1t is as
sumed that the administration would
decide to act alone and that 1t would
give the other governments the de-
sired guarantee.
The possibilities and dangers Of the
situation are fully realized by the
president. Minister Bowen has been
told to use to use every means to-
bring Venezuela to terms without the
use of force, and he has been given
wide latitude in the representations
he is to make.

SKILLED WORKERS ABANDON
THE FIGHT AND RETURN
TO WORK.
PEACE SAID TO BE IN SIGHT
GREAT CHANGES WILL SOON BE
SEEN TENDING TOWARD A
PEACEFUL END.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Yesterday was a
busy day with the packers. With in
creased forces of skilled workingmen
and the operating departments more
thoroughly equipped than at any time
since the beginning Of the strike, the
employers took a firm grip on the ma
chinery of their affairs, and as a re-
suit the stock yards took on the or.
binary run of activity to a great ex-
tent. Over $4,000 head Of live stock
yer received here yesterday. This
was an increase of $4,000 head over
the receipts of the corresponding day
of last week. Such an enormous
amount of live stock under ordinary
circumstances would have had a de-
pressing effect upon the market, and
yesterday when the train loads of an

stockholders and owners feared a
panic. Prices were lowered sharply,
but the market held so we'll that the
packers + preparing to increase
their output. The packers bought
5000 cattle, $4,000 hogs and 10000
sheep during the day. Before night
fall so per cent of these purchases had
been slaughtered. Further proof of
the claims of the packers that the diff
ficulties of the strike are being over
come were furnished by the shipment
of 500 car loads Of fresh meats from
the stock yards.
1t was estimated last night that $50
members Of the various trades on
strike returned to work during the
day. OF this number who abandoned
the fight, many were skilled workers.
The packers claim yesterdays deser-
lions makes the total number of strik-
ers who have returned to work at
least 1000.
End Is in Sight.
Chief of Police ONeil, who has
taken personal charge of the stock
yards during the trouble. declared
last night that peace in the strike is
in sight and that by Thursday great
changes will be e e tending toward
peaceful end. Yesterday was freer

began. There were several dis
turbances during the day, but the po-
lice experienced little difficulty in re-

point of the strikers, al hundreds Of

of them being skilled workmen. The
serious break in the ranks Of the
strikers yesterday was caused by
their growing tired Of waiting for

Chicago and because they could not
afford to remain idle longer without
pay. Few of the men who applied for
work yesterday were refused their
old places.

CONFLICT in FAR EAST

are still in force on our front and

present no sign Of a general retire
ment on their part.
Situation Is Serious.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 2. - Although
public attention has been distracted
from the events of the war during the
past week, first because OF the fear of
international complications, and Sec
ond because Of the assassination OF
Minister Won Plehve, the situation at
the front is regarded as critical.
The e%nveloping movement of the
three Japanese armies OF Generals
Kuroki, Noduz and Oku around Gen.
Kuropatkin's position appears to be
almost complete and the extended
line of the Japanese seems to be the
only drawback to concerted action. 1t
is realized here that the Russian gen.
eral must now

Gen. Kuropatkin was wounded in the
