That Given Strike
 breaker Mulloy.
Three Strikers Set Upon Him Police Chased As- sailants Shots Fired One of Them Caught Af- ter Long Run.

Chicago, July 26.-Two thousand persons to-day saw one of the most brutal cases of assault and some of the poorest craftsmanship on the part of the police since the strike at the stock yards began. A strike breaker. John Mulloy, had just left the yards when three men, of whom one was John Doody. attacked him. Mulloy was knocked down and nearly killed. His nose was broken, his eyes cut open with terrific blows and one ear was nearly torn off. When i've po- Hcemen interfered the trio ran
 The chase led through q crowd of strike sympathizers and curious spec tators through streets and alleys. the policemen calling upon the fugitiyes to stop on pain of being killed. The crowds in the streets were so large the policemen were afraid at first to use their revolvers and in the crush two of the assailants leaped into a wagon and were rapidly driven away, but the third man was kept in sight and soon the policemen began shoot ing.
 The firing sounded like sham hat tie. Doody had apparently clear way ahead of him and was running like a deer when he stumbled and fell. Before he colild make up the loss of time the policemen were upon him and he was held until a patrol wagon came from the stock yards lpo- lice station.
 Mulloy, during the excitement of the chase was found by friends who quickly took him away before the police could get him.

CHICAGO STRIKE MAY
 BRING ON A RACE WAR
Dining Room Girls in Big Restaurants Quit Work To- Day-They Claim They Do Not Want to Work With Colored Cooks -Stylshly Dressed Men HeIp- ed To-Day in Unloading Hogs the Yards.

Chicago, July 26.-DevelOpment Of race war is rapidly proceeding throughout the strike district, the trou- ble starting in the restaurants of Ar mour x Go, Swift & Go and Nelson Morris & Go, where all the dining room girls quit on account of the presence of colored cooks. That was the reason the young women gave, but it is in ferred their desire is to aid in the sympathetic strike As rapidly as q girl took off her apron and walked out g colored man was employed in her place. Thereupon twenty-five girls in Swift & Co.'S restaurant quit in body, twenty-five at Nelson Morris & Cos and thirty at Armour & Co.'S.
 The first step taken by the feminine strikers was to march to a hall and hold meeting, where it was decided to form themselves fol. picket duty and see that no girls went into the yards to work.
 Four girls were roughly handled by the girl pickets, but not seriously hurt.
 Despite the fact that 25,OO0 or more regular employees are on strike at the stock yards here, all the big packing plants were declared to be in nearly full operation to-day. Nearly every man who went out yesterday 1t was claimed has been replaced by one who belongs to no union.
 While the f1remen went out. the en- gineers, 1t was asserted with possibly dozen exceptions, remained in their places. The total number of station ary engineers employed in the pack ing plants and yards is 110.
 According to the packers 600 non un\n men from other cities were brought into the yards to-day. Of these forty were skilled butchers from New York. There was killing of cat tle, hogs and sheep in all the plants, but with tie supply of animals on hand cleaned up there will apparently be little or no slaughtering tomorrow.
 Men with Panama hats, expensive clothing of the latest cut and fine linen stepped in among the hogs to- day and took charge of the unloading Of the days arrivals at the yards. The volunteer crew was made up of the office and clerical forces Of the various commission houses at the yards. While luO duldLCuTS4 LOll0u dlAOAS tliC uktl- ing swine, strikers in heavy boots and rough garb sat about at distance. laughing at the spectacle.
 Look at that fellow with the silk suspenders," they cried, pointing at one particularly dapper clerk. Don't you want to borrow some overalls 2"
 Unmindful of the derision, volun- teers continued with the work, which progressed with natural shortcomings. Once, when a, big porker escaped the vigilance of the unloaders and charged his captors, upsetting two of their number in an undignified heap, the un- sympathetic spectators broke into cheers of delight. The runaway was captured after much running, shout ing and perspiring. The t'dandies," as they were called by the strike sympa- thizers, entered into the spirit of the occasion and tried with some success to turn an unpleasant task into good natured holiday romp.

LIABLE FOR HEAVY DAMAGES.

ft Q . r 5li
 St Petersburg. July 26, 3:36 D. m.- Neither the American nor the British governments up to this hour had made representations here regarding the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander or the capture of neutral ships by the Vladivostok squadron. The admiralty's in'struc- uqns to the commanders of Russian Warsh1ps in regard to prizes authorize them In certain urgent contingencies recognized by dnternatio law to sink prizes. These are in substance when the prize is unseaworthy in dan- ger of recapture by the enemy or in the case of difficulty in getting the prize back to port which might in clude inability to spare a prize crew, etc. But in each case the commander must take off the ships papers, crew and passengers before sinking the prize. When these instructions first came to the notice of the British am- bassador some time ago he formally protested against them because they were not specifically limited and be- cause they did not restrict permission to sink prize to beIligerent yes sells.
 lC IS realized here that no matter what the circumstances were which moved the Russian commander to sink the Knight Commander, unless she was really Japanese owned, as WITS clafIus in the case of the steam CT Cheltenham, although not formally transferred., he has made his govern ment liable for full damages for the cost of the vessel.

GROWING coWpEAs.

Cowpeas are easily grown and will
do we'll on any we'll prepared soil
that is not t. sad and wet. The crop
is especially suited to the loans and
to the clay soils that are high, well
drained and we'll worked.
Soils that fail to produce profitable
crops of corn, clover, wheat or timothy
will often yield a fair crop Of cowpeas.
Break tile land deep; wcrkthes esoi, down
fine; get the seedbed free from clods;
make it compact and be sure it con-
tains abundant moisture 10 germinate
the peas at once. Plant after corn-
planting is over this season, near the
middle of June BY that time the soil
is warm and the peas will grow at
once. This late planting gives oppor-
tunity to destroy the annual weeds
that appear, thus preventing their i'll
terfering with the cowpeas later in the
summer.
If the peas are intended for hay the
last cultivation should be followed
with the drag. The surface should be
perfectly level and no clods should
be allowed to be scattered to interfere
with the mower when cutting. If the
surface is not made level, cutting and
raking the hay vii. cause much dirt to
scatter with it. Anc one wishing to
grow peas for the first time can get
much help from his neighbor, who has
experience that will, in measure, be
his own after trying to grow the COW
peas.-Indianapolis News.

EARLY APPLES

f. II. Bullard asks Green's Fruit
Grower to publish a list Of the varie-
ties of apples that bear fruit soon af-
ter being planted. Whether fruit trees
bear soon or not depends somewhat
upon the soil, methods of culture. cli-
mate and other conditions. 1t is Il
fact, however, that some varieties bear
fruit sooner after planting than others
under ordinary conditions. Among
those varieties that have tendency
to bear, fruit soon after planting are:
Yellow Transparent. Banana, King
Bismark. Trees which are growing
rapidly do not come into fruiting so
quick ms those trees which are some
what stunted in their growth.

NEEDS OF THE GARDEN.

Are there fruits in your garden?
No garden is complete without a row
E or two of dwarf pears growing through
it. Dwarf pears can be planted three
feet apart in the row with the rows
far enough apart so the garden can be
planted without difficulty. There
should be q row or two devoted to cur
rants, gooseberries and raspberries. II
your garden is restricted in size you
can plant the grape vines against the
house or the barn, or along. fences.
There should be strawberry bed in
;fevery garden. You should plant a few
strawberry plants every spring i'll
April or May. Do not rely entirely
upon the old strawberry bed. If you
plant few strawberries every spring
you will. have a continuous supply,
otherwise you will not. No garden is
]. complete without rows Of asparagus
5or without a few plants Of rhubarb
or spieplant. There should also be q
few plants Of sage, which may be as
easily grown as weeds. Perhaps your
garden should be enriched little. If
you have plenty OF room it may be
an advantage to let your garden patch
rest and start new patch in another
place.

ADVICE TO TREE PLANTERS.

Trees set out this season should have
their branches cut back more than
two-thirds. This rule applies to all
kinds of fruit trees recently planted.
Do not hesitate to cut back branches
to within six inches Of the trunk, and
in the case of peach trees cut of all
the branches close to the trunk and
cut the trunk back three feet from
I'll he.ground. The severe pruning at the
time Of planting seems to the novice
to be severe, but it is the kind Of
pruning that all newly planted trees
should receive. The tree you have re-
sceiyed from the nursery has all the
top left on and it possesses from 100
to 500 buds, which is far too many.
All the buds you need on the top Of
newly planted fruit trees is enough
to form the head Of the tree which
should never have over foEr to six
main branches. Therefore, if you cut
the head of the tree back closely the
few buds remaining make a vigorous
growth, but if the buds and all the top
5are left on the numerous buds make
"a small G:owth, and the top thus
formed is thick and dense, requiring
very severe pruning in future years.
