the intention of selling the small group
OF islands off the coast of \cwfound-
land known as st. Pierre and Miquclon.
Our Paris correspondent was able TO
send us the assurance that the report

The islands have certain material
value for France. But from the purely
commercial point Of view their vaIuc To

STRIKERS FORGET TROUBLES

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The stock yards
strikers forgot their animosities and

a peaceable demonstration, the first

weeks ago. In a street parade several
miles in length, fully $1,000 strikers and
their families encircled the stock yards
district, marching to the music from
a dozen bands. The demonstration
ended with a picnic at Oswald's Grove,
where addresses were made by promi-
nent labor leaders. While these events
were in progress, there was peace and
quiet around the big packing plants at
the stock wards.
Even the question of extending the
strike by involving the teamsters was
held in allegiance. The committee of
the allied trades unions, which was ap-
pointed to take up the question of

SENDS A REPORT OF
TERRIFIC FIGHTING.

French story Is Late, But Disas-
trOus to the Japanese.
st. Petersburg, Aug. ga dispatch
to the Bourse Gazette from Lao Yang
says that another great battle has been
fought in the neighborhood of Hout-
siatze, on the railroad about fourteen
miles west of Lao Yang, in which the
Japanese losses are estimated to have
been from 10000 to 13,OOO and the Rus
sian losses insignificant.
The dispatch to the Bourse Gazette
which is dated Thursday evening, says:
There has been fierce fighting Tues
day, Wednesday and to-day. The Jap
anese made a vigorous attack on the
center of the Russian position at Hout-
siatze. The enemy was fifty-four bat
talions strong. thirty-sx of which were
regular troops and the balance reserve
men. Gen. Kuroki employed the re-
serve men in the attack, while the reg
ulars carried out the feints intended to
delude the Russians. The reserve men
attacked with desperation. Their ranks
were decimated by the Russian fire
each time they advanced, but the va
cancies were quickly filled UP with
fresh men.
The Russians ultimately slowly re-
tired to suitable positions, whence thew
inflicted great losses on the JAPANESE
by heavy artillery fire. The japanese
losses are estimated at 10000 to Ia, 900
men. The Russian losses are compar-
atively insignificant"
The Lao Yang dispatch to the
Bourse Gazette is believed to refer
to the fighting of July 80, July 81 and
Aug. 1. The War Office has not re-
ceived any reports of later fighting.
and points out that Houtsiatze is a
couple of miles westward of shusu
pass whence the Russians fell back on
Anping after the battle of July 81.

was recovered.
Missoula, Mont. Aug. 6.-Fifty
thousand dollars worth of securities
cash and diamonds which had formed
part of the loot of the Bear Mouth
train robbery have been recovered.
John. Christie, arrested in Hope, N.
D., to-day guided Special Agent Nc
Fettridge to the place where the cache
was made, eight miles below the scene
of the robbery. and on the same side
of the river. The securities filled a
flour sack. They had been thrown into
the willows twenty feet from the river
bank.
Three miles further up the hill,
Christie led the officers to where $40
in silver and bills had been hidden UNI
der stone. One package of money
had been torn in two and thrown away
as worthless.
One hundred and five small diamonds
were found where the package contain
ing them had been torn in two by the
robbers and spilled in the sand. Two
of the drafts aggregated $4,000.
Christie has been taken to Phillips
burg, where he will remain until his
trial in September.

ice supply at the yards will also wait
until Monday.
While the strikers were at their
sport the packers kept up their work
of killing and shipping. The usual
number of non-union men were re-
ceived at the different plants and put
to work. Country butchers were num-
erous among to-day's arrivals, and in
a statement issued by the packers to-
night, it is asserted that a few more
days like to-day will put them in such
a position that it will not be neces-
sary to add to the forces of butchering
and casing departments.
The run on the Drovers' Trust and
Savings Bank came to an end to-day.
Several small depositors withdrew
their money from the bank in the
morning, but by noon the run was
over. The police are now endeavoring
to discover the identity of the per-
sons who were responsible for the cir
culation of anonymous letters and cir
culars which caused the run on the
institution.

THE N.UCK" OF THE JEW.

Why the Young Hebrew Gets Along.
ttOn-Every Position Regarded
Merely as a Stepping Stone to An
Other-Life Taken Seriously.
From the New York Post.
People speak of the luck of the
Jews" said the 15-year-old Jewess-
old beyond her years-who works all
day in factory, where she is paid
seyenty-hve cents a dozen for making
shirtwaists. and attends night school,
and studies her lessons until midnight.
1t isn't luck at all; it is perseverance
and self-denial that bring them sue
cess. You've no idea how hard they
work for an educa ton"
This little girl had been taken from
school and put at work when she was
IA, the earliest age at which the fac
tories are allowed to employ children.
The working age is often awaited with
impatience by the parents for the
wages of the children are needed to
assist in the support of the family.
They must earn their living as early as
possible, and get the education If they
can. Il got one girl working now al
ready" proudly announced the Hebrew
father of a large family in response
to an inquiry as to how he was getting
along. 1t won't be long until he has
another working, for the next is nearly
IA.
The young East Side Hebrews value
an education above almost anything
else, and, in the face of what to many
of other races would seem insurmount-
able obstacles, they get that education,
for they know that along this road lie
their best chances of success. The
night school is the great stepping
stone for many of them and they re-
ceive much encouragement from the
settlement workers. At least rs per
cent. of the graduates Of the City Col
lege of New York, which is a free col
lege, are Hebrews, and great many
of these graduates are teachers in the
public night schools.
