is FULL OF DANGER.
Bad Situation Is Created by the Sei=-
ure Of Russian Boat.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The report cf
the capture by Japanese torpedo boat
destroyers of the Russian destroyer
Ryeshitelni in the harbor of Che Foo
as conveyed to Washington by Consul
General Fowler's cablegram from Che
Foo was received here with the deep
est interest and concern, for it was re-
allied that there were in this incident
the germs of serious international
trouble
IL the expedition was a genuine cut
ting out one, there is no question in
the minds of the officials here that the
Japanese have committed an offense
against international law by violating
Chinese neutrality, and in addition
have broken the agreement they en-
tered into at the beginning of the war,
at the instance of the United States
government, to limit the field of war
like operations to Manchuria and
Korea and their waters. Should this
prove to be the case, the results prob
ably will be grave and vexatious. IN
der international law the captured
vessel must be returned to the GUS
tody of the Chinese government and
an apology rendered for the offense
against Chinese neutrality.
But if Russian lives have been lost,
as reported in the press dispatches, a
greater complication will follow, for
Russia may in turn hold China re-
sponsible for the punishment of the
Japanese who caused the death of her
sailors when under the shelter of the
Chinese port authorities. Altogether
the situation is full of danger and the
main apprehension of the officials
here is that it may be the incident that
will break down the agreement of the
powers and plunge China into war
as full-fiedged belligerent and ally
of Japan.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 13.-Russia has
formally protested to Japan, through
France, against the action of the Jap
anese torpedo boat destroyers in at
tacking the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Ryeshitelni at Che Foo and
the protest has been communicated to
the powers.

BUTCHERS STRIKE SITUATION.
MUCH DISORDER ATTENDS THE
GREAT STRUGGLE.
Hungry Strikers Fought for Food
Mayor Harrison Will be Asked
to Help Settle the
Strike.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-A riot in crowded
Fifth avenue, within a square of the
city hall, and recalling the teamsters'
strike two years ago, when missiles
were hurled from the windows of of
flee buildings, capped the climax of
disorder in the strike yesterday. Dur
ing the day half dozen men were
hurt in various encounters and shots
were fired during an attack on train
load of strike breakers. All told, the
days violence was more widespread
than in any previous day of the strike.
Even President Golden, of the
Transfers union, was attacked while
trying to rescue Max Falk, a union
teamster, who was driving a wagon
loaded with meat. Four hundred per-
sons had pursued Falk, not knowing
he was unionist, and were attacking
him when Golden appeared. When
Folk produced union button Golden
mounted the wagon, took the reins
and urged back the mob. Stones and
Falk before Golden, who suffered
many injuries, was recognized.
The opening of a commissary sta
ton for the strikers drew so large a
crowd that union officials found them
selves unable to cope with the situa-
ton Crowding and pushing to attain
advantageous position in the waiting
line resulted in fighting and it was
feared the building would be wrecked
by the hungry throng. When this
danger became apparent and the labor
officials found themselves helpless, a
committee was sent to the nearest po-
pice station to request a police detail
of two men to preserve order and pre-
trampled on. The request was denied,
it being declared there were no avail
able officers to send out.
Seventy skilled butchers who struck
here are reported to have returned to
their former employers, Schwartzchild
& Sulzberger. The 20 are said to have
been sent to New York to take the
places of strikers in the firms plant
there. Other alleged desertions of the
union cause during the past "a hours
are claimed to aggregate 319 men, all
skilled butchers.
Mayor Harrison will be asked to-day
to do what he can toward settling the
stock yards strike.
New York, Aug. 13.-Assaults upon
non union meat wagon drivers became
general Friday afternoon and several
men were roughly handled, despite
the efforts of the police guard assign
ed to every team. That the sympathy
of the teamsters employed by indie
pendent packers who were not af-
fected by the strike order was with
the strikers was evident on several oc-
casions.
A non union driver was badly
beaten by a crowd of alleged strikers
near the SchwarZschild & SulZberger
plant and after he was rescued by the
police he quit his job and went home
under police escort.

An Accident on a Bridge.

New York, Aug. 13.-The north
bound express of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad yesterday
loosened the blocking under a 35-ton
truss of the new bridge over the rail
road tracks at Two Hundred and
Fourth street and Bronx Park and the
truss turned over, precipitating three
other trusses and a potion girder into
the railroad cut. The last car of the
express was about 800 feet beyond the
bridge when the trusses fell. Five
men were working on the truss that
turned over and three oi them fell,
two of whom were seriously injured.

Lightning Killed Two People.

New York, Aug. 11.-During thun-
der storm in this city and vicinity yes
terday William Hagen, 27 years old,
was killed by lightning while driving
truck in Brooklyn. An unidentified
boy is also said to have been killed by
lightning in Brownsville. Several
buildings were struck, among them st.
Johns Evangelical Lutheran church
in Hoboken, N. j. In Brooklyn light
ming struck the trolley pole of Rock
away avenue surface car and set fire
to the car, in which there were 25 or
80 passengers. All the passengers
were stunned for moment, but re-
covered in time to leave the car before
anyone was seriously burned.

BUSINESS BULLETIN.
A Moderate Improvement Is Noted
Agricultural Prospects are Very
Rriohf

6rl9nt.
New York, Aug. 13.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Moderate improvement in midsum-
mer means more than an equivalent
increase at any other season, and the
better trade reported during the past
week is consequently most encourage
ing. Dispatches from all parts of the
country are by no means uniform, in
some cases the outlook showing no
change, while at few points there
have been setbacks; but on the
whole, the progress is unmistakable.
Two labor controversies are particu-
larly harmful, but others have been
settled; the Fall River strike is par
TALLY broken and several threatened
difficulties have been averted.
Despite some injury to spring wheat
the agricultural prospect is very
bright, while higher prices promise to
neutraliZe the effect of such loss in
quantity as occurred. Interior buyers
have placed liberal fall orders in the
leading dry goods markets, and conf
dence in a large spring trade is be-
coming general. The approaching
presidential election is viewed with
more equanimity than any other con
test of recent years.
Failures this week were 222 in the
United States, against ia last year,
and 33 in Canada, compared with % a
year ago.

Our DEALINGS with Turkey.

Washington, Aug. 13.-While it is
difficult to secure any details of Min
lister Leishman's last communication
and of the response of the state de-
partment, it is gathered that the min
lister has informed the state depart
ment of the terms of the proposition
advanced to him Thursday by the
Turkish officials; that these appeared
to the state department to be satisfac-
tory and in line with what it has de-
manded. The American squadron

Pittsburg, Aug. 13.-The Macbeth

manufacturers of lamp chimneys in
the country, and employing 1000 men,
announce that their plants will be run
on an open shop" basis beginning
next week. The company has works
at Pittsburg and Charleroi, Pa; Ell
wood and Marion, Ind. The reason
given by the company for it's sever
ence of relations with the Flint Glass
Workers union is that the workers
terms are unreasonable.

sAND-1IME BRICK.

A wonderful industry which was tc
revOlutioniZe the manufacture OF
brick in this country has in recent
years been frequently described in
the newspapers and trade journals,
The claim has been made that brick
suitable for all purposes could be
made from sand with a small addition
of lime, at a cost far less than that
of ordinary brick. Time has not yet
proved the truth of this statement;
nevertheless, according to a paper
written by Mr.. S. V. Peppel and in.
cluded in the annual report on "The
Clay-Working Industries" recently
published by the United States Geo.
logical Survey, the sand-lime brick IN.
dustry seems to have established it,
self and to have a promising future II
certain sections of the United States.
Where clay Of good quality is not
available but comparatively pure sand
is abundant, the manufacturers of
sand-lime brick may reasonably hope
for success. There are many such 10.
calities in Michigan, Wisconsin, and
other northwestern states, also in the
south and southwest.
There are in this country at present
about fifty plants, with a total capac.
ity Of approximately 100000 bricks a
day. The experience Of these plants
indicates that sand-lime brick can
usually be manufactured at a cost
below that of common clay brick.
When, however, a sand-lime brick is
desired equal to the fine clay front
brick the cost Of production is natur.
ally increased beyond that of common
clay brick. Sand-lime bricks have
been in use long enough, both in this
country and in foreign countries, TO
prove that when properly made they
have sufficient strength and sufficient
water and Misunderstanding qualities
to make them a safe building material.
The sand-lime brick Of today is the
natural outcome Of the Improvements
made in the old mortar brick, which
has been known for years. This NOR
tar brick was at first never more than
a nodded mixture Of lime and sand
