King Peter is now at the Servian

proceeding to some fashionable health

DEFY THE UNIONS.
Chicago Packers Issue Statement De-
manding Unconditional Sur
render of Strikers.

Chicago, Aug 29.-Unconditional
surrender, without conference or par
Icy, was the ultimatum served on the
stockyards strikers Saturday night in
a joint note issued by the packers. BY
the language of the note all hope OF
another peace meeting was upset, and
the strikers were given the alternative
of continuing their idleness or returning
to work as individuals in such num-
bers as the packers might feel justi-
fled in employing. Even when the
note was issued President Donnelly
and members of the executive board
of the Butcher Workmen's union were
meeting for the purpose of considering
a peace proposal which they hoped to
be able to present to the packers.
Embodied in the tentative proposal
were a number of concessions, the ma
ture of which was not revealed. The
note of the packers came as surprise
to the union leaders. who had been
confident that their terms of surrender
at least would be given consideration.

RESERVOIR DYNAMITED.
Attempt to Blow Up Big Water Basin
at St. Mhry's, O., Proves
Unsuccessful.

St. Mary's, O., Aug. 24.-Before day.
break Tuesday the gates at the head OF
st. Mary's reservoir were blown up by
dynamite. The report of the explosion
was heard for miles. The buildings
here were shaken and some windows
were broken. Intense excitement pre-
vailed, but every precaution was taken
to prevent a flood. There are many who
consider the reservoir a menace to sur
rounding farms.
The attempt was made at one'clock
and If it had blown out the entire
bulkhead and opened the flood gates
hundreds Of lives would have been lost
as the waters of Lake Mercer would
have run out. This bulkhead Is the
one through which the Miami and Erie
canal is fed. Although large amount
of dynamite was used the bank was
not broken so as to give away and when
the citizens were aroused the place
was watched. Bloodhounds are with
those in search of the dynamiters, but
they have no clew on which to 60.
This reservoir is the largest artificial
body Of water in the world and this
city is lower than the water, SO that
intense excitement prevailed here.

D. B. HILL TO QUIT
active POLITICS
DECLARES HE WILL RETIRE
FROM ARENA WITH THE
CLOSE OF THE YEAR.
Former New York Senator Says Result
Of Coming Campaign Will Not
Alter His Decision Although he
Will Work for Parker.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 29.-David B. Hill,
in conversation with friends here Sun
day, announced that he intends to retire
from politics January 1, next, and that
no matter what the result Of the coming
campaign may be, state or national, he
will relinquish the leadership OF the
democratic party in New York.
He added that in the event of demo-
cratic success this fall he would not &C.
cept any position under the national or
state democratic administration or
again become a candidate for election
to any Office whatever.
Former Senator Hill made these state
ments on the eve Of his birthday ami
versary, which was Monday. He was
born August 20, 1843.
Makes Partial Explanation.
In partial explanation he said that
he had intended to take such action q
year ago, but was persuaded by some
close personal friends to defer doing so
until after the presidential election this
year. Having been engaged in active
politics since his youth and having
served as city attorney, alderman and
mayor Of Elmira, member Of the legis-
lature, lieutenant governor, governor
for seven years and United States sena-
tor for six years, he feels that he has
been sufficiently honored by his party,
and that he has rendered political serv-
ice during period Of years sufficient to
entitle him to be relieved Of further ac-
tive political effort. He desires to de-
vote more time to his personal affairs
and professional duties than he has In
the past.
Mr.. Hill will continue his work in the
present campaign, and to his friends
interest in democratic success, but only
% private citizen.

Average length Of ships has in.
creased so or 60 per cent. during the
last quarter of a century. The ass
feet of the Britannia of 1874 seem al
most Insignificant compared with the
702 feet of the Cedric and the 760
feet of certain projected vessels. The
1.OO0-foot vessel probably will not be
long in coming. Berths are even now
being advised to accord with this
standard, and entrance locks and
