St. Petersburg, p. NJ. November
1.-THE outlook for the early col
lapse OF the strike Is more gloomy to-
day. The situation IL distinctly more
menacing. The council Of workmen's
delegates or strike committee are man
ifestly encouraged by the extension
of the strike In ST. Petersburg; vari'
Gus organizations, including the bank
clerks. telephone girls and some pro
fessiOnal leagues having voted TO join
the movement. Moreover It Is GER
tain the workmen's council has re-
ceived mysterious supplies Of funds
and consequently they present a bold
er front. The workmen's council re-
turned the scornful reply to Count
lWttte's personal appeal to his
brother workmen," ridiculing the
government profession OF solicitude
for the workmen and renewing their
demands for the immediate abolition
of martial law in Poland, etc. Count
Witte's attempt to negotiate directly
with the strike leaders has come to
naught, although he offered concessions
in he case of the Cronstadt mutineers
In the event Of their being condemned
to death. But leaders refused all com
promise. "All or nothing" was their
response. News from the provinces
show practicai.y no movement has
started there in support Of a general
strike, but there is suspicion this
may be lnll Of the preparations
The social democrats and revolutions
lists are keeping their plans dark
Their organizations have ramifcations
through the country and at the signal
they might be able to bring the IN
dustries of the country to a stand
still.

THE NEXT HAGUE

(From the New York Evening SUM-
In history It is not In the person
ages but in the, facts that there is
the real suggestion of synicism.
For example, 1t Is announced that
virtually all the powers have accept
ed the invitation Of the Car to take
part In peace conference at The
Hague. If Mr.. Roosevelt, the peace
maker OF Oyster Bay, has sent out the
cards there would have been certain
fitness about 1t. But there Is some
thing very absurd In their coming
from the occupant of the palace OF

has been hurting concessions at his
people. at Finland, at Poland In the

CEMENT MAKING

Few economic movements Of recent
years have equaled IN importance the
growth OF the industries based on the
n-metalItc structural materials,
writes E. c. Eckel. in the Engineering
Magazine for November. In this
group are included the stone used for
building or road purposes. such clay
l,0ducts as ire used In sngin eling
a.d in the various cementing m:.tcri.,
ais. The production Of structural MAJ
terials in the United States for the
year 1903 was $219,Os4.5oO.
VI the three smb.gr0urs Of matters
ais into which structural materials
may be divided--stone, brick. and tile.
and cements and plasters--the third
the cementing materials--is at pres
emit OF greatest intesest. though II
Is still surpassed In valne by the 9TH
er two The value of tn entire group
has more than doubled In these four
years. Examination OF the figures for
each sub-group will show that this In
crease was by no means equally dis
tributed. The production Of Portland
cement almost tripled In value from
1900 to 1903; the values Of the plaster
and slag-cement production about
doubled; while lime increased only 80
per cent, and magnesia and the NATL
raj cements we're practically station
airy.
The increase IN the value OF the
American Portland cement production
il feature TO which particular at
tention should be drawn. The manu-
facture Of this product was commenc-
ed In the country about 1875, but In
1889 its annual production amounted
to only $500.000. Since that date.
however. the advance has been mar
velous. reaching total Of s27,713,-
319 in 1903. Every one knows Of the
gold strikes at Cripple Creek and In
Alaska, but glance at these real fig-
ures will show how unimportant were
these rich finds Of the precious metal
In comparison with the quiet growth
OF more important industry.

the time waiting for the clerk in scrfbbHng

turned to the negro porter and said: Il am

Pedestrians on the sidewalks crowded about
the Office and drivers stopped to see what was
doing. In a few moments the avenue was
blocked by the crowd. and the traffic squad
cleared a way with difficulty. Reserves had
finally to be called from the West 30th-st sta
ton to restore order in the avenue.
When Carpenter killed himself half dozen
men and women were in the Office buying
tickets. At the shot and the sight of the man
lying on the floor. with his brains blown out,
the women rushed screaming to the street, and
the men got out nearly as quickly
