Dynamiter at Work.

Columbus, O., Aug. ga dyna-
inter last night attempted to blow The
bulkhead and release the waters of Grand
Reservoir, the largest artificial body of
water in the world. Had he succeeded
the city of St. Mary's and the valleys of
the ST. Mary's, Auglaice and Maumee
rivers would have been flooded. The
disastrous results and the consequent
loss of life that would have attended the
dynamiter cannot be imagined.
The Board of Public Works have
placed detectives on the case aud sta.
toned guards at the bulkheads. Grand
Reservoir is part of the canal system and
comprises !, 300 acres Of water of an
average depth of eight feet. The horror
attendant upon the rush of this body OF
water down the st. Mary's river can
only be imagined.

A Hugger Fined.

Harvey Sidders of Chicago, hugs not
wisely, but too well. Justice Martin
yesterday fixed the market quotation for
Harvey's hugs at SO. 80 and turned the
revenue for one hug into the city treasury.
Miss Emma Anderson was the huggee
and complainant. In pressing his suit
Sidders pressed altogether too hard, and
the young woman, according to her
story to the court, came out OF the scrIm-
mage with one broken arm and one rib
misplaced. Sidders was uninjured. "He
hurt both me and my feelings once in a
hug" said pretty Maggie Elton, who
gave corroborative Testimony regarding
Sidders' strenuous style OF embrace
"Harvey does violence to all CENTER
methods of loyemaking. The last time
he kissed me he was not content with
the ordinary caress, but carried away part
of NV cheek"

Situation at Shanghai.

Shanghai, Aug. 23-Another meeting
of the consuls of the various nations was
called for today by the American Consul
General, Mr.. John GoOdnow. 1t will
consider the situation created by the in
ability of China to compel Russia to
obey the orders Of the taotai and also to
devise means of protecting the foreign
settlements, the taotai having notified
Mr.. Gooduow that China cannot do So.
The first meeting of the consuls was
held yesterday, hut nothing definite was
accomplished. The situation remains
acute. The Russians, thus far, have
defed the efforts OF the Chinese authori-
ties to have them cave port or disarm.
japanese warships, watchful and anxious
to pounce on the enemy, remain outside
the harbor The foreign consuls are in
session today, considering ways and
means to maintain the neutrality OF the
port. 1t is believed the Russian vessels
will eventually disarm and remain in
port till the war is over To attempt to
90 out, it would seem, would be to court
destruction by the japanese ships in
waiting, which include a battleship, a
cruiser and two destrOyers.

A NEW wrinkle in the democratic
campaign, reported from Birmingham,

mess men for the purpOseof sending per-
sonal letters to the merchants and bank
ers of the east and north, pointing out
the danger to the South from contlnu-
ance of what they regard as the Roose-

The Pennsylyania's Big Cut.

Altoona, Pa, August 29.-The Penn
syvania Railroad Company yesterday
made the most sweeping reduction in
the time of the men employed that has
taken place since the panic of 1893.
Employees Of the machine shops were
notified that, beginning today, they will
be divided into shifts, each shift to work
every other day, eight hours to constitute
a DAVIS work. One shift will work
Mondays and Wednesday and the other
Tuesdays and Thursdays. The remain
der of the week the shops will be

SOME REPUBLICANS are dreaming that
the bulk of the Catholic voters OF the
limited States will cast their ballots for
Mr.. Roosevelt by reason of his course IN
connection with the friars in the Philip
pines. If the present administration
has acted in equity in that case, is 1t
prima facie evidence that the democrats
would not have pursued a similar course
had they been in power? The whole
matter is a phantom. The Catholics OF
this country embrace democrats as well
as republicans, and it may be assumed
that neither will be caused to turn po-
litical somersaults by what is going on IN
the Philippine Islands. Besides, itshould
not be forgotten that no one at the first

than was Mr. Roosevelt, and his party
now appearing as champions of this class

Sunk Without just Cause.

Shanghai, Aug 2S.-The naval court
here, after hearing evidence regarding
the sinking of the British steamer Hip
sang, has decided that the vessel was
sunk without just cause. The Hipsang
belonged to the Hindo- China Navigation
Company and was sunk by a Russian
torpedo boat in Pigeon bay on July l6.
The Russians claimed that the Hipsang
was sent to the bottom because she tried
to run away from them. The captain
of the vessel, however, claimed that the
engines were stopped when she was sunk
by the torpedo boat.

The ANXIETY incident to the scenes

left the harbOr. This action on the
part OF the Mikado's government afforded
manifest relief to the peace-loving people
of the entire world, especially to those
in the United States who will be appre-
hensive so long as Mr. Roosevelt is chief
executive. The anchoring OF the tor
