NO SIGN OF STRIKE ENDING.
Big Demonstration of Chicago Strikers
Planned July 5.

Chicago, May 30.-Nothing has de-
velOped that would indicate an imme-
date settlement of the transfers
strike which has been in progress for
nearly two months. That the labor
unions are of the belief that the fight
will be long one was demonstrated
at the meeting of the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor Sunday, when arrange
ments were made for holding strike
demonstration on July 5. According to
the present plans it is the intention to
hold monster parade of the strikers
and the affiliated unions unless the
controversy has been ended before
that date.

rooms, and theater that will seat 800
persons 1t has in it, in fact, about
every device, except a bar, that goes
to make frst-class modern club
house. Moderate sums are to be
charged for the use Of the recreation
privileges and for the hotel accommo-
dations, but the building itself is free
to any sailor or marine Of the United
States navy. The new institution Is
expected to exert a powerful influ-
ence for good upon the naval men on
shore leave, weaving them away from
the low resorts that abound in the
town, and inducing in them habits Of
self-respect and thrift. Admiral Nc
Calais philanthropy has awakened
deep feeling Of gratitude among the
rank and Ale Of the navy, and the
thousands Of sailors from time to time
stationed at Mare Island will not fail
to make tho club house their Mecca.
Benefactions Of this sort having the
effect az they do of improving the
character Of the men Of the navy, also
increase their efficiency, and tend to
make the naval service more inviting
to tho better class Of young Ameri-
cana.

AN ADMlRAL'S GIFT.
Club House for Sailors and Marines at
Vallejo, Cal.

VdueJOS A01s
Among the many good things done
Of late for the men in our naval SER
vice was the building of club house
for sailors and marines atVallejo, Cal,
near the Mare Island navy yard, says
Leslie's Weekly. This project was
fathered by Rear Admiral Bowman
II. McCalla, commandant at Mare ISL
and, who devoted to it the prize money
he won during the Spanish-American
war, the remainder Of the $62, 900 ex-
pended having been raised by Mrs.
McCalla among her friends and &C.
Quaintances. President Roosevelt show
ed his interest in and approval Of this
undertaking by laying the corner stone
Of the structure when he was on the
Pacific coast about year ago. The
four-story club house is one Of the
most imposing buildings in Vallejo,
and it was recently completed and
dedicated. It is modelled generally Oh

PITCH AND ROLL OF SHIPS.
New Design of Vessel for Relieving i
Just Brought Out.

New Design of Vessel for Relieving It
just Brought Out.
. With the idea of remedying the pitch
and roll of ocean vessels, an entirely
new design Of craft has been recently
brought out by NJ Turc, an engineer in
the French navy. Forty years ago the
great English engineer. William
Froude; put in evidence very impor-
tant fact which has been studied and
verified recently by M. Berth. This
fact Is that every ship in which the
proper duration Of oscillation Of pitch
ing and rolling is longer than that of
the wave it encounters, rolls and
pitches but little on this wave. The
problem, then, is to discover a boat
Of such a kind that the periods Of
pitching and rolling which are proper
to the boat and which depend on it's
manner Of loading and on the form Of
the keel, shall be longer than those Of
the largest wave which it shall en-
counter.
Beginning with these facts, NJ. Turc
planned his ship. This is composed OF
hull tapering both ways from the
middle, entirely under the water and
analogous to the keel of a submarine
Surmounting this are two floats, point
ed both In front and in the rear,
placed abreast one another and Of
slight floating sruface. This arrange
ment assures the transversal stability,
which will be all the greater the far,
ther these floats are apart. In a study
made by NJ. Turc with ship of this
type and Of $500 tons displacement
tie height between the center of gray
ity and the metacenter was reduced
to 5000 Of meter, and the duration
Of the rolling at normal immersion was
increased to twenty-five seconds that
is, greater than that of the largest
wave.
In the longitudinal direction, and In
order to diminish, for the reason indi-
Gated above, the floating surface, and
consequently to Increase the duration
Of the pitching, the floats only OCCUPY
a certain length of the hull, so that the
floating surface is concentrated toward
the center of the boat In the plan
studied by NJ. Turc, the height be-
tween the center of gravity of the boat
and the metacenter was reduced ga
meters, and the duration of oscillation
of the pitch raised twenty-five seconds.
This last arrangement is the principal
characteristic of the vessel.
In the hull is installed the machin-
cry and boilers, as well as the fuel.
In the upper portions Of the boat, SUD-
ported by the floats, is found a water
tight compartment, which contains the
cabins, these being safe from both
waves and spray. The hull has a
length Of 300 feet and width of 72
feet at the midship frame. The floats.
with length Of $50 feet and 9 feet
In width, are separated by a space Of
axty-three feet. The amount of water
drawn Is twenty-four feet-Brooklvn

Attack and Destroy Enemies.

Warsaw-The Polish social party
has issued a manifesto urging the peo-
pie to attack and destroy everything
and everybody not belonging to the So
cialists and those refusing to join the
movement.
The social democrats, angered at
the action of the Catholic archbishop
who recently ordered that sermons be
preached against socialism and social
democrats, have protested against pull
pits being used for this purpose, and
threaten to cause disturbances in the

'SLAVWARSHIPSSUNK
JAPS Held RUSSIANS In The
KOREAN STRAITS.
Cannonading Heard in Tokio-Russian
BattIeships Orel and Her Sister
Ship, the Borodino, Reported Sunk
They Were Finest Type of Russian
Navy.

Washington, May 30.-Japanese Min
| lister Takahira has received a dispatch
| from Toxic saying, in effect, that the
| fighting in the naval battle thus far
has been with favorable prospects TO
the Japanese. The minister's dispatch
| is from private sources.
A dispatch was received at the state
department saying that the Japanese
government has made the announce
ment that it's fleet had engaged the
Russians in the straits of Korea Satur-
| day and had held them. The report
| ed sinking of the batteship Borodino
is mentioned in a dispatch received at
the state department from the consul
at Nagasaki.
Following is the text of the Maya
saki dispatch to the state department:
The japanese sunk the Russian bat
! tleship Borodino and four more war
ships and a repair ship
The other dispatch follows:
Japanese fleet engaged the Baltic
squadron this afternoon in the straits
of Tsushima, which was held. Can
nonading heard from shore"
The belief in naval circles in WASH
| ington is that the Japanese resOrted to
| a free use of their torpedo boats IN
their attacks On the ships of Admiral
| Rojestvensky's neet. The Japanese
have a large number of torpedo boats
| in their fleet, and they demonstrated
their effectiveness in the operations
around Port arthur. Naval officials
here express the opinion that it was
unlikely that such serious losses as
those reported had been inflicted by
ordinary fire.
From information which has been
received in Washington it is believed
that two of the Russian ships reported
to have been sunk in the Korean
straits by the Japanese are the Orel
and her sister ship, the BOrOdino.
They are battleships of $4,000 tons.
Three other vessels reported to have
been sunk are believed to have Deen
cruisers, the remaining one being re-
pair ship.
The Orel and Borodino are of 1856
tons displacement each, heavily ar
mOred well protected and were de-
signed to make IS knots an hour. They
measured 397 feet by 76 feet, with 26
feet draft, and both have lofty spar
deck fully 80 feet above the water
line, extending from the bow to the
quarter deck. Forward is mounted a
pair of 1874 inch guns in turret pro-
tected by II inches of Krupp armOr.
Another pair of guns, of the same size,
is mounted aft There are 80 other
guns of the intermediate battery, and
the vessels carry two submerged tor
pedo tubes and two above water. A
special feature of the vessels is their
vertical longitudinal bulkheads, run
ming throughout the whole length of
the ship at a distance of or 10 feet
inboard from the ships sides, designed
to localize the effect of a LOW from a
torpedo.

THE SIOUX MOTHER-lN-LAW.

1t is one Of the oldest customs OF
the Sioux Indians that the son-in-l la W
shall not look upon the face of his
mother-in-law, or communicate with
her any more than is absolutely nee
essary. This custom is probably the
outgrowth Of family brawls arising
from their crude way Of living, hud-

er-in-law visits the family of her son.
iE-law, a partition Is usually made
In the hut or teepee by means of a
blanket behind which the mother-in-
law retires whenever the son-in-law
approaches the home.
In the case of John Night Pipe. q
young bridegroom living in Ten
Horns camp on the reserve, the in
visible mother-in-law was a source Of
great disturbance. Although he never
beheld her person, the sound Of her
scolding voice easily penetrated the
blanket wall. John made several
fruitless efforts to dislodge his mother
in-law, and send her to her home or
the other part of the reserve, but
without avail. He finally decided to
appeal to the Indian agent for relief.
This is his letter:
my Dear Respectable Friend-I
have a few words to say to you, and
they are that l am sorry to myself
1t Is an old woman that makes me
very sorry every day because she talks
with bad, bad words always to me,
and never gets rested with her tongue,
and 1 hate this kind of business, tho
bad words, mean, holding them al,
ways with her tongue that way.
"Now, if you will sending your po-
liceman to take this woman to her
camp, will be your truly friend with
good heart, sir, and we will living
happy again. Now this is all and this
Is me.

"MR. JOHN NIGHT PIPE"
The letter proved effective. The dis
turbing mother-in-law was sent to her
home in Black Moons camp, and the
young people were left ia possession
Of an undivided teepee.
The story, which comes direct from
an Indian agency in Dakota, proves

wholly the fabrication OF the comic
