coal, resulting in a terrific cOnflagra-
ton. Many of the buildings have been
demolished and the hospitals are
crowded.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 17-Rus-

the Russian cruiser AskoId. now at
Shanghai.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 1S.-A Japanese
squadron is expected here to-day.
Japan is determined, it is stated, that
the protected cruiser AskoId and the
torpedo-boat destroyer Grozovoi shall
leave port promptly or dismantle.
LONDON. Aug. ia dispatch to
the Central News from Vladivostok,
dated August Il, says the cruisers
Rossia and Gromoboi of the VIadivos-
tok squadron have returned there.
TIENTSIN, Aug. lit is asserted
here that the missing vessels of the
Russian squadron did not return to
Port Arthur and 1t is believed they
have reached Vladivostok.
LIAOYANG. Aug. ia general
Japanese flanking movement is devel-
oping to the east and parallel with the
railroad. The movement involves the
whole mas of troops from Dalien Pass,
about twenty-five miles southwest Of
Tatchekiao, to Diodinshan, on the
Taitse River, thirty-five miles south
east of Mukden.
1t is evident that these troops have
combined with the object of forcing
the Russians out of Liaoyang without
a fight, thus securing advantageous
winter quarters. 1t is not believed the
Japanese have enough men to consum-
mate the movement until the release
of a large number Of troops now be-
sieging Port Arthur.
Bandits under the command of the
celebrated Toulisan cut up a party of
scouts under the command of Captain
Transoff in the village of Syaba, twen-
ty-five miles west of Liaoyang, yester-
day Captain Slushiviski coming up
with reinforcements scattered the ban
dts. killing eighteen and capturing
four. The village was burned and many
explosions were heard, evidently of con-
cealed ammunition. The place was the
headquarters Of Toulisan, who claims
to be a colonel in the Japanese service.

vised the young man that he cannot
act for him in his official capacity, but
that personally he would see what he

LUNATIC In WOODS
Man From Hibbing Stays in Woods
and Brandishes Knife at
Passers-by.

Crazed with habitual use of
liquor and armed with a long
hunter knife, an unknown
laborer, until recently an employe
of William Barret's livery estab-
lishment in Hibbing, is some
where in the woods between that
place and the Stevenson mine.
An effort has. been made to locate
him on two occasions this week,
but as both have proved unavail-
ing it is feared he may have sue
cumbed to the cold and exposure
by this time.
Amos Shepherd, of the Steven
son mine, was driving into lib
bling last Saturday from that
propertylwhen he came suddenly
upon the man standing in the
middle of the road. His clothes
had been torn by his long tramp
through the brush and woods.
His hair was disheveled and as he
stood bareheaded in the middle
of the road the horses took fright
and SHE'D off to one side. The
man shouted1 an unintelligent
challenge and waved his arm=in
the air. In one hand a long
hunters knife cleaned. He
stood in the road and watched
the sled disappear and for
moment seemed inclined to
pursue.
The man appeared in Hibbing
a few weeks ago and while on a
protracted drunk called at the
livery establishment and asked
for work. Later he showed up
apparently more sober and was
given chance to work. He re
NAMED al his tasks but a short
time before he began to drink
heavily again and after remain
inc about the stable drunk for a
week he disappeared. That was
the last seen of him until he met
the Shepherd party.
A mum Der of other parties who
have made the trip through the
woods to the west of Hibbing the
last two or three days report
having caught sight of a man
apparently denoted, wandering
about through the timber.

Police Have Instituted Search,
Which so Far Has Been
Unsuccessful.

Joe McManus, a young man
whose parents live in this city,
this morning about ! o'clock held
up a -Woodsman near the Ex-
change saloon and relieved him OF
what money he had in his clothes,
amounting IN all to about S.. The
police were Immediately called
and arrived in time to arrest the
robber, who was identified as Joe
McManus, a young man who has
made his home with his parents
in this city for a number Of
years.
The officer was taking him to
Jail and had arrived opposite the
alley between Third and Fourth
streets when McManus suddenly
broke loose and ran into the alley,
and although the officer fired sew
eral shots at him he did not let
up his pace, but successfully
made bis escape, and all search
for him within the city has been
of no avail.
The police have sent descrip-
tion OF the manyto all towns in
this country where he would be
likely to put in an appearance,
and should he show up at any Of
these his arrest will follow.
McManus is a young man and
has up to the present time had no
trouble..with the police and it lis
believed that he would not have
committed the deed except when
under the influence of liquor.

BY R. NJ. Larner.

Washington, July 6.-Widespread
attention has been attracted to the re-
reverses of the United Garment Work
ers of America, because the issues in
volved in their present troubles bear
upon the general labor problem in its
broadcast and most interesting aspect.
Briefly stated they are: the CLOSED
shop" the "eight-hour day" and,
above all, the "union-label. For
some years the Garment Workers I'm
ion has been foremost in championing
these three principles on which the
structure of factory unionism is found
ed, and its campaign has been skillfully
conducted with unfagging energy and
zeal. Should the revolt of the man.

union be unable to enforce its DEGREES

the open shop and the RELOCATION of
the union-label to the rear in that
trade.
The last of the large manufacturers
of ready-made clothing in Rochester,
N. Y, the greatest center of this in
dustry, recently declined to renew their
agreement with the garment workers.
The employees of this firm unanimously
voted to stand by it, and work nine
hours per diem instead of eight, re-
sisting all pressure from the officials
of the union and unterrlfied by the
threat of expulsion from it. The I'M
ion now has no factory of importance
in Rochester; after trial of the eight
hour day a return has been made to
nine hours. The demoralizing moral
effect of such a condition of affairs
upon the labor world in general makes
the question of the material welfare
of this particular union one or COM
parative insignificance.
Under conditions prevailing some
wears ago a boycott would have
promptly been declared against the OF
Tending manufacturers and union men
throughout the country would have
been warned against purchasing their
goods at their peril. But times are
rapidly changing and the employment
of the boycott is fast becoming aan-

which cases are to be fought through
every court to that of last resort, the
associa ton having practically unlim-
tied financial resources.
The first of these will reach the
United States Supreme Court next
winter, and is regarded as being the
most important case in which labor
questions are involved. since the en-
ployment of writs of injunctions in
labor disputes first begun. The court
will also pass upon the question of the
violation of the Sherman antitrust law
by labor organizations engaged in boy
cotting, and the right of a boycotted
manufacturer to recover threefold
damages, not from the unincorporated
labors unions, but from the individual
members. The case is that of d. +.
Loewe &, Company, VS.. certain men,
bers of the United Hatters of North
America. The defendants number $50,
and their real and personal estate to
the value of S1S0,000, and their bank
and saving accounts to the amount of
$4,000 have been attached in suits
under the state and federal statutes
aggregating $S40, 900. Should the Su-
preme Court decide the case in favor of
Loewe e Company, the property and
savings of the defendant hatters the
accumulation of years of toil-will be
swept away; they will be utterly ruined
ana q death dow VIII be dealt the
boycott. Few men VIII care to father
a boycott if their property can be
attached for resulting damages, and
the prospect of a decision against the
Hatters' Union in the Loewe case will
make the Garment Workers careful
about employing such tactics.
The way will also be opened to other
hat manufacturers. now restrained
from declaring the "open shop" by
fear of suffering losses such as Loewe
& Company have borne, to defy the
Hatters' Union with impunity, and as
many of them were forced to unionize
their shops by just such methods and
have been chatting under the rigid and
imperialistic domination of the union
officials, there is every reason to be-
leve they would gladly welcome I'm
opportunity to emancipate themselves.
Thus a victory for Loewe & Company
would seem to foreshadow the destruc-
ton of the Hatters' Union. On the
other hand, a decision against the
manufacturers would practically legal
ize the boycott as employed in inter-
state commerce by leaving the boy
cotted firm substantially without RENE
dy or relief. and would be speedily
followed by attacks upon the few re-
| naming independent or non-union hat
tiers, only twelve out of more than
eighty with the inevitable result that
| within a short time the entire trade
would be controlled by the union.
