New York, March 16.-Labor trou,
bles as a result of which many thou
sands Of men are idle, again threaten
the industrial world, and the situation
is expected to become as serious as
the memorable troubles of a year ago.
In the building trades here 1t is esti-
mated that already 10000 men are out
Of work and that the number will be
increased almost daily. In addition
the printing trades are threatened by
the attitude of the lithographers, TO-
900 of whom are expected to be lock,
ed out throughout the country before
nigl1tfall
The dissension in both these trades
is caused by a disagreement over ar.
bitration agreements with employers,
and involves the absolute recognition
of the unions, the eight-hour day, and
the open shop. The building strike
was inaugurated by the masons' Ia
borers whom claim that it was caused
by their employers posting notice
cutting down overtime charges. The
plan of the employers, they assert, is
to inaugurate an open shop" policy.
The laborers were quickly support
ed by the bricklayers and the allied
trades. The housesmiths were fol
lowed by riggers, steam filters, boiler
makers and iside iron workers as we'll
as a number Of electrical workers.

Chicago, March 16.-Assurances that
American residing in Seoul are in no
danger, are contained in a letter just
received by the local Woman's Pres
byterian board of mission, Miss Eva
H. Fields, medical missionary sta
toned in the Korean capital, under
date of Feb, IA, says:
IF, during the war any danger to
Americans should arise our two Unit
ed States boats will remain in Che
mulpo harbor, and we would leave in
a few hours. The Japanese army
is credit to the nation. They behave
on the streets like Christian gentle
men, the reason probably being that
their discipline is so perfect"

A BoER BOYS BRAVERY.
(Sino,anore Straits Budget.)

The story of little Boer boy who refused to
betray his friends, even the threat of DEATH IS
told by Major Seey, NJ. p. as an illustration of
deeply rooted love of freedom and OF country 1t
happened during the Boer war.
II was asked" said Major Seey, to get some
volunteers, and try to capture commandment at a
place some twenty miles away. | got the men
readily and we set out. 1t was a rather desperate
enterprise but we got there all right l can see
the little place yet the valley and the farmhouse,
and 7 can hear the clatter of horses hoofs The
Boer general had got away, but where had be gone
1t was even a question of the general catching us
and not we catching the general. We rode down
to the farmhouse and there we saw good looking
Boer boy and some yeomcn. | asked the boy II the
commandment had been there. and he said IN Dutch,
taken bv surprise, Yes where has he gone? |
said and the boy became suspicious, lie answered.
4 don't know
II decided then to do thing for which hope
7 NAV be forgiven because my mems lives we're IL
danger. I threatened the boy with death if he
would not disclose the whereabouts of the gen
eraI He still refused, and | put him against a
wall and said would have him shot. At the same
time I whispered to my men, For heavens sake
don't shoot The boy still refused, although
could see he believed was going to have him shot.
ordered the men to Aim Every rifle was lev
clled at the boy
Now, said. before give the word, which
wav has the general gomez | remember the look
in tbe bov's face-a look such as ] have never seen
but once. He was TRANSPORTED before me. Some
thing greater almost than anything human shone
from his ewes He threw back his head, and said IN
Dutch. 4 will not say There was nothing for 1t
but to shake hands with the boy and go away
