BattIed With Guns.

Duquoin, ILL.,, Aug. 15.-Strike breakers,
armed guards and strikers slashed IN gun
battle near Joseph Letters town of Zeigler
in the dark hours before dawn this morn
ing.
The battle ground was the little muddy
creek one mile of Zeigler that supplies the
town with water,
Attack was made on non-union crew
of laborers that had been sent to aid in re-
pair work. From an ambush in the high
grass across the creek a volley was sent
crashing into the building, which is par
TALLY open.
The workmen instantly dropped and
sought shelter. Rifles and revolvers sent
a fusilade at the flashes in the weeds. The
emergency reserve force of Joseph Letters
private coHstabulary turned out frem the
central station with rifles and revolvers on
a hurry CALL and made the mile run to the
pumping station with saddle animals.
The mounted squad fred into the am
bush, and this gave the concealed men
warning. They scattered in all directions.
Across the fields the horsemen charged,
firing at the fleeing men on foot. The
darkness aided the men to escape by find
ing cover and but one man was captured.
The identity of the lone prisoner has
been kept a secret. He was turned over
to Deputy United States marshal and
sent to Springfield.

American COIOrs Float Over Island.

Washington, Aug. 16.-A mail report
received at the navy department from
Commander Underwood, the American
naval governor at Tutuila, announces that
the native chiefs. OF the Island of Manua
have acknowledged the sovereignty of the
United States over that island. This they
did in the form of deed, which is en-
closed with Commander Underwood's re-
ports.
The action is not regarded by officials
here as cession of governmental charac-
ter, as the United States already owned
the Island Of Manus, having come into
possession Of 1t under the agreement en-
tered into between the United States,
Great Britain and Germany at the time OF
the division of the Samoan group, and had
established sovereignty over Manua With
the rest Of the territory falling to the
United States.
Commander Underwood recommends
that the territory owned by this govern
ment be called American Samoa. He also
recommends that chiefs Of ManuA be pre-
sented with medals or watches, as we're the
Tutuilan chiefs when they acknowledged
the sovereignty of this government in Sa-
moa.

ConstantinopIe, Aug. 14.-After pro-
longed pourI arlers and considerable hag-
Cling on the part of the Turks, a satisfac'
tory solution of the American financial
question has been arrived at. This mat
ter, which is the most important of the
American demands, was settled by extend

instructing him to salute the batteries on

The sitting Of the Council Of Ministers
at which the settlement was agreed upon
was long one, and it was not until near
its close that an agreement was reached.
The delay in the settlement is believed to

HOPE THAT ROOT MAY YET ACCEPT
Republican Leaders In new York Believe
Former Secretary Of War Will Con-
sent 10 Make the Race as Can
dIdate for Governor

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug l4.-Colonel Reu-
ben l.. Fox, secretary of the Republican
State Committee, came here last night to
make arrangements for the State conven-
tion, which meets September l5.
Robert c. Morris, former president Of
the Republican County Committee, who
is here, thinks that Ehhu Root will ultima
tely accept the nomination i-r Governor.
He is an enthusiastic Root man, and Gays
that all the leaders with whom he talk.
ed believed that Root is the one man for
the nomination.
Talk about Mr.. Root is about the only
kind heard here. Lieutenant Governor
Higgins has many friends who are work.
ing for him, but one OF Mr.. Higgins close
friends said tonight that he could be re-
garded az 4 candidate only if Mr.. RoOot
declines to run. Ex-Lieutsnant Goye,nor
Woodfuf's friends are active in spite OF
the sentiment for Root.
From all the leaders who are here, how
ever, the came report is heard, and that u
all the sentiment up State is for Root. The
general impression is that Root will be
named and will consent TO run and that
Lieutenant Governor Higgins will be re-
nominated.

HOME MISSION MATTER.
(MRs. GEO. PKERY EDIToR)


The Home Mission Society held its reg
ular monthly meeting on the second Tues
day afternoon, at o'clock, at the church.
The following standing committees we're
appointed, viz: Ways and Means, Mrs.
George Buston, Chairman; Mesdames g.
k. Brown, j. S. Moss, 7. ]. Eskrldge,
with Mrs. w. NJ. Morrell member ex
officio; Visiting, Mrs. Mary O'Keeffe,
Chairman, Mesdames Doak and La Fleur;
Local Work, Mrs George Peery, Chair
man, Mesdames Doak and Thompson. 1t
is hoped that these committees will be
diligent in season and out of season. The
several chairmen are urged to call COM
mittee meetings from time to time and
vigorously prosecute their different liues
of work. II these are alive to their duty
we will have live society.
Our Orphans Home and Industrial
School at Greeneville has very special
claim upon the Methodists of Holston
Conference. Most of us are familiar with
its story. We know how Mrs. Wiley
founded it by faith, and how she has
maintained it by faith-faith in God and
the people of Holston. Her only source
Of support for the nearly one hundred
children there now is the liDerallty of
friends. She herself has given of her own
time, talent and means unstintedIy. She
has made it mare than place to be sim-
oily warmed and fed. People who have
been fortunate enough to visit there say
that it is like a well regulated family,
where each member performs his allotted
task and where the noble woman at the
head overhows with mother loYe for each
one of the motherless children. They
must per force live economically, so far as
the physical msn is concerned, but the in
ner man is trained IN the nurture and
admontion of the Lord"
Some of our preachers children are
there. A baby cottage is now nearly fin
ished SO that tiny babes may be cared for.
Cottage" is a misnomer-it is really a
large building, though begun with the in
tention of building cottage. These chill
dren are not put out into homes unless
under the very best conditions, and this is
as we would have it, were it your child or
mine. Tazewell district fed the orphans
during July. 1t ia also pledged through its
district secretary of the Home Mission
work to pay the current expenses for this
year, 500. This amount should be read
lily forthcoming from the well.to-do folk Of
this pleasant land.
The Ways and Means Committee met
on Friday afternoon at the residence OF
Mrs. Brown.

and Are Pressing Upon

London, Aug, 14-l a. m.-An reports
from Toxic and St. Petersburg show that
the recent battle from which Admiral Togo
emerged victor, was the worst disaster
vet sustained by Russia in the war. Even
more certain it is that the naval engage
ment outside of Port Arthur on Wednes'
day, was one of the greatest the world has
ever known. Pounding with the guns OF
this great fleet for eight hours against six
Russian battleships, four cruisers and
dozen destroyers, and following it up with
an all-night attack by torpedo-boat des-
troyers, Togo dealt defeat to the Russians
that was almost equal to annihilatlon'
Some of the Cars warships will never
fight again. At least one of the battleshlps
is cut of action forever. Five are crippled.
Two of the cruisers are also out OF action.
The once great fleet is torn and tattered,
aud Port Arthur is virtually left defense
less from harbor attack, This is the awful
price the Russian general staff admits was
paid for the dash from Port Arthur: Rear
Admiral Withof killed by shell; nearly
score of other naval officers, most on the
Czarevitch and Retvizan, slain; hundreds
of seamen lost; five battleships badly dam
aged; the Czarevitch permanently dlsa-
bled; two cruisers in unseaworthy condi-
ton; two destroyers stranded on rocks;
fleet scattered and crippled.
