THE sEACIRT SHOOT.
First Days Proiram Still Un llnis he'd
 This Hesning.

Seagirt, N. J., Aug 26.-The third day of the military rife tournament here opened this morning with the first days program still unfinished.
 Owing to dissatisfaction with the arrangements, the captain of the Ne brasa team withdrew his men from the national individual match, and it was reported contemplated like ac- tion in the national team match.
 The program called for tine wind-up of the national individual match yes terday morning, for the firing in the national pistol match yesterday after noon, and for the POO and 600 yards slow fire, and the POO and 800 yards rapid fire stages of the national team match today However, when firing was resumed this morning the compet- itors reported for the POO yards rapid fire stage of the national individual match, which should have occurred last Thursday afternoon, the opening day of the meet.
 Under only the most favorable con ditions can the national team match be completed by the end of next week.
 The weather this morning was clear and cold, the wind blowing gale. Rapid firing was done on silhouette targets. The violence of the wind abated somewhat as the morning ad- vanced. but the conditions for firing were none too good when the work before the targets was resumed.

OREGON LAND FRAUDS.
Ceverner Thayer's Son One of Those
 Indicted.

Portland, Ore. Aug 26.-The federal grand jury investigating the Oregon land frauds has returned true pills against Claude F. Thayer, the Tilla- mock capitalist, son of former Cover nor Thayer of this state, and several other operators indicted with him. The significance of this action Is em- phasized by the fact that when the indictment was returned there remain cd but six hours until the law would have been powerless to reach the crime.
 In September, 1899, approximately loo persons made filings at the Oregon City land office to enter timber lands in Tlllamook county, the lands being situated in the famous Nehalem val ley. It is alleged that Claude Tha. CT and his associates had secured a pur- chaser and the net profits were to he divided. The allegations of fraud in the affidavits of contest which were subsequently filed led to the order for an investigation. These cases involve more money value in timber lands than all the cases which have been tried SO far.

THE nULcAHY SCHOOL.
Parents Whose Children 10 There
 Will Talk to Board of Education.

Residents of the south end of the city who have children attending the Mulcahy school, and others who don't like how the district has been treated by the department of education, have planned for friendly bout with the board at its next meeting on the even- ing of September 5 For the past two winters the children have had to reach the building by any old way and no matter what route they chose they were bound to get wet feet before they reached the stone steps leading to the building. As result of this hardship several little ones caught colds from sitting in the class rooms with wet feet and in one or two cases death en.' sued. The people tried to be patient. thinking that the remedy would como as soon as the school officials could get to it. but after seeing the play grounds of other schools enlarged, land purchased for horticultural gardens in other places and no move made to- wards furnishing suitable approaches for their children to reach the school. they thought it time they called and asked the reason why. They have two propositions 10 submit to the board. One is that streets be opened to the school and sidewalks constructed there- on before the bad weather sets in, and if this cannot be done that provision be made to accommodate the pupils of that building at the Washington school during the winter months and transfer some of the older children from the Washington school to the Merriman or Croft buildings. At first it was suggested that committee of three be appointed to state the case,, but this did not meet with general ap- proval. most of the parties taking the ground that it would be much better to go down there with representation of fifty or sixty, that is provided that many could crowd into the meeting room. They will hold another session before the board meets to decide upon the number which shall constitute the delegation.

OPPOSE TRUSTS.
''kosher" Butchers Opened Their New Abbattoirs
 With Lots of Business.

New York, Aug 26.-Retail kosher" butchers of this city who recently formed an organization to act ilide- pendently of the western packers, have opened their new abattoirs. On the opening of the latter yesterday 800 head of prime western cattle were slaughtered, dressed and carried into the refrigerating rooms, there to re- main until September 4, when the stockholders, who are also to be the customers of the concern, will be al- lowed to come in and buy.
 The new concern was organized three years ago, and the plant just completed at cost of $1,50O GOO is declared by the promoters of the scheme to be the most complete affair of its kind in the country.
 No hogs are to be killed In the new plant. as the whole establishment is carried on in kosher" fashion.
 The killing is done by eight licensed slaughterers, under the supervision of the Rev Philip Klein, who sees to it that every detail of the Mosaic law is carried out.
 In the near future the company in- tends to receive carcasses from inde- pendent packers in the west and dis tribute them on commission. The ca pacity is now 1000 carcasses a week. although but 2,5OO cattle will be slaughtered for some time.

NOT SUCCESSFUL YET.

Portsmouth. N. H., Aug 26.-Presi- dent Roosevelt's intervention at Peter. hof and Toliio has not been successful as yet, but enough progress has been made to secure the prolongation of the negotiations beyond to-day. A certain result has been achieved at St Peters burg. but if there is eventually to be peace Japan also must change her at titude.. The re-purchase of the north ern half of Sakhalin island still points the clear road to the only possible compromise, but it must be purely commercial transaction. not claim for an indemnity in disguise.
 There hadnot been the slightest iu- dication up to II o'clock this morning that Emperor Nicholas would recede from his announced determination not to pay tribute under any form. And. in the quarters most competent to judge, there Is not the slightest pros pect of change But if Japan would bend. if she would renounce formally her demand for reimbursement for the cost of the war by the with dra wal of the price she sets upon the northern half of Sakhalin and frankly make the proposition to sell the island on a commercial basis if is difficult to see how Emperor Nicholas. having al- ready acceded to the other conditions proposad. could refuse.

BRICkLAYERS WANT
 STILL HIGHER WAGES.
New Workers Get Seventy Cents Hour Now But Want 75-Some Days With Overtime Make More Than $ll-The Builders Declare That the Limit Has Been Reached and Reduction May be the Result

New York, Aug 26.-Negotiations have been opened by the local unions of bricklayers for an advance in wages when their present agreement with the Mason Builders association expires at the end of this year. At present the pay is 70 cents an hour, with double price for overtime. When they work twelve hours a day the men are paid Sll.2O. As there Is a great demand for men, it is stated that 75 cents an hour will be asked. A meeting has been ar ranged to take up the matter next week, but the builders declare the wage limit has been reached and in- stead of an increase, they favor a re- duction of 5 cents an hour.

 killinG of Williams.

Dallas, Tex, Aug 26.-The burning at the stake of Tom Williams, a negro, for attacking white woman, was con- mended at the state convention of negro Baptists here, yesterday.

THE BALTIC DISTURBANCES.

St Petersburg, Aug 26.-The police department has drawn up a report of the disturbances among the Let's in the Baltic provinces which of late, ac- cording to the report, have assumed an anarchical character.
 Within four months in towns in the provinces of Courland and Liyonia there have been four attempts on the lives of officials, four attacks on prl- vate persons, six attempts against the lives of police officers, three attacks on Cossack patrols and two cases in which bombs were thrown. At Riga an attempt was made to set fire to the powder stores in a cartridge fac tory. The report says that Fin the Lu- theran churches demonstrations were begun and repeated every Sunday in May and June," and that the agitators supplied the peasants with arms of which they obviously possessed an ex- tensive supply.
 Tn Mtau the rioters in one day de- stroyed the archives of nine districts. throwing the documents. the seals and portraits of the emperor into the streets. Attempts to damage the rail road lines, the report says, have been numerous of late.

THREE DEAD IN THIS FIRE.

Maranac0ok, Me, Aug 26.-Three lives were lost and three persons were injured in connection with the burning of the Hotel Maranacook here today At noon, after it was thought all the hundred or more guests had been ac- counted for, it was reported that one was still missing and search of the ruins was renewed. The dead are Mir and Mrs James R. Martin of Auburn dale. Mass, and their ten year old son. Clerk Boutwell, was badly injured while trying to save the guests.
 Over four score guests and employees escaped in night attire after they had been awakened by Robert Boutwell,, the hotel clerk, many of them leaping from the windows. That there had been loss of life was not known until search of the ruins during the fore noon revealed the charred bodies.
 The injured were: ..I
 Mrs George H. Hassam. Boston, right leg broken, ankle sprained and back injured.
 W. J. Maxwell, Brooklyn, N. Y., ankle sprained.
 The fire, which is supposed to have been caused by defective chimney. spread rapidly through the two and one-half stories of the wooden struc- ture. Clerk Boutwell, discovered the flames and, rushing through the corri- dors, aroused all the guests. In doing this, however, he was seriously burn ed, and later. while attending tu 1he guests fin the cold air of the early morning, contracted severe cold which developed into pneumonia. None of the guests had time to seize per sonal effects, and many of them were unconscious by the time they had reached the open air. The injured people were hurt by jumping. Nearby cottagers provided clothing and shel- ter for the guests. and physicians sum- moned from Winthrop and Readfield attended the burned and injured.
 Among those who lost valuables was Mrs w. ]. Maxwell of Brooklyn. whose diamonds, valued at SI0O, were left behind.
 The discovery of three bodies in the ruins today led to more careful search because of the possibility that others had perished.
 The hotel was built 27 years ago and was owned by the Maine Central railroad.

Willimantic, Conn.,, Aug. 26-Dennis Shea, the real estate owner, who was charged with violation of the build ing law of the city in permitting his new building to go over the line on South Main street, established by the city council, was found guilty before Judge Arnold to-day and fine of $1OO and costs imposed. City Clerk Sanderson and other witnesses testi- fled to the locating of the street boun- dary, and to the fact that new building which is going up for Mir Shea extends over that line. Judge Arnold in making his finding said the act was fragrant violation of the city charter and he further said Mir Shea had shown an utter lack of pub- lie spirit in his attitude since the pro- ceedings were begun. Mir Shea took an appeal.

 TO DEATH. Captain of the Yacht
 Mystic.
Bremen Arrived Just in Time to Rescue Eighteen Others - Three Dead in Summer Hotel Fire in Maine.

Erie, Pa. Aug 26.-Captain Patrick MacMahon of the yacht Mystic was burned to death and eighteen persons were almost suffocated in fire which started on the third floor of the Charles Beck block early to-day. The firemen found the eighteen occupants of the building asleep and almost dead from suffocation. It was with much difficulty that they were finally rescued. Captain MacMahon was found dead on the floor of his. room. The fire started in MacMahon's room and probably was caused by his leav- ing lighted cigar stub on the floor when he retired.
