Valley Railway company syndicate to
the extent of $553,500. Samuel Unter'

certain of the securities which 1t holds
as collateral for large loans ! have
advised the president to recommend
the suspension of business SO as to
prevent a run on the institution"
Mr.. Phillips has been president for
only a few months. The loans that
have crippled the cash resources were
not made under his administration
and he has no responsibility for them

his efforts have been directed towards
inducing those under whose admins
tration the loans were made to take
them out of the institution. This has
not yet been done.

GENERAL LiNEViTCH ASSUMES
OFFENSIVE AGAINST FIELD
MARSHAL OYAMA.
RENEWAL OF HEAVY FIGHTING LIKELY
BOTH ARMIES APPARENTLY PRE-.
PARED FOR HosTuiTIEs ON
A LARGE SCALE.

st. Petersburg, May 24.-The news
from the front continues to point to
the imminence of renewal of fight
ing on a large scale. General Line
witch is pressing the Japanese center
both on the line of the railway and
on the Mandarin road, but whether he
is simply feeling out Field Marshal
Oyama's strength or has assumed a
genuine offensive is not yet clear.
There is no doubt, however, that Line
witch has made complete preparation
for big battle. All the Russian sick
and wounded who were at Harbin and
ported westward to Irkutsk and orders
have been given to clear the interven-
ing hospitals. The sanitary trains
have also been ordered to the front.
General Linevitch, in a dispatch
from the front dated May 81, an
nounces that the Russian detachment
east of the railroad which on May IS
approached the village of Shahotse and
was attacked by considerable force
Of Japanese from the coal mines south
OF that place, occupied Shahotse May
- and continued southwark May 20.
Prince Troubetzkoy's detachment met
the Japanese artillery fire May II near
Changtufu station, but the Japanese
were forced to evacuate the position
and retire southwark. The prince,
May 20, advanced further southward
and another Russian detachment May
90 exchanged rifle fire with a strong
Japanese force occupying the village
of Armagan, about four miles west of
kinchuantso.

Why Suffer From Rheumatism?

Why suffer from rheumatism when
cne application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? The quick
relief which this liniment affords makes
rest and sleep possible, and that alone
is worth many times its cost. Many

short relief from suffering have been
happily surprised to find that after
awhile the relief became permanent.

ADJUTANT GENERAL OF ILLINOIS
PREPARED TO RESPOND TO
CALL FOR MILITIA.
ADDITIONAL TRANSFERS JOIN STRIKE
MANAGERS OF EXPRESS coMPA.
MES CONTINUE TO BLOCK
A SETTLEMENT.

Chicago, May 24.-There were large
additions to the strikers ranks during
the day, more drivers of lumber wag-
ons going out because of the discharge
of some who refused to make deliver
les to the boycotted houses.
Adjutant General Scott is in the city
by order of Governor Deneen and
everything is said to be in readiness
for calling out the militia whose armor-
les are in Chicago If called they are
to be put in the lumber district.
A conference was held at the may
or's Office at which were present the
railway express managers, who, how
ever, were unwilling to make any con-
cessions to the strikers, adhering to
their stand not to re-employ any of
their old drivers. The other employ
ers are willing to take back their for
mer teamsters as fast as opportunity
offers. The ending of the strike, there
fore, hinges upon the railway express
companies.
Another Move for Peace.
Members of the Lumber Dealers
association during the afternoon made
a move for a peace conference follow
ing meeting of their executive COM
mittee. A call was sent out for Presi-
dent C. p. Shea of the Teamsters' un-
lon. Before responding to the lumber
mems call Mr.. Shea hurried to labor
Headquarters to confer with other
strike leaders. 1t was said that he
would probably appear before the ex-
ecutive committee of the wood indus
tries later.
Representatives of the railroad eX-
press companies carried out their part
of an agreement made at the confer
ence with Mayor Dunno and appeared
during the afternoon at the Auditorium
Annex to meet Business Agent j. b.
Barry of the Express Drivers union.
Mr.. Barry did not appear After wait
ing for fifteen minutes the express
company representatives left. 1t was
understood, however, that no conces-
sions had been or would be made by

beneficial to the system? If so, Will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-

ing the bowels beneficial to the entire

xEW BRIDGE IMPERILLED.
Attempt to Blow Up Kimberly Avenue
 Structure With Dynamite.

An attempt to wreck the new steel bridge that is being built across West river at Kimberly avenue by the Amer ican Bridge company was made some time during Sunday night, and but for the fortunate discovery of a package of dynamite cartridges by one of the workmen, nanied French, who was re- kindling the banked fires in the steam boiler Monday morning, the portion of the bridge that has been completed would probably have been destroyed, and the twenty-five non-union workmen who are employed upon it would have been in peril of their lives. The car tridges are now said to be in the hands of the sheriff and the sheriff's officers. and the detective force of New Haven, as well as the authorities of Orange, are said to be trying to trace the mis- creant or miscreants who placed them there.
 Early on Monday morning, after day of rest for the workmon employed on the Kimberly avenue bridge, man named "Ar' French, who is one of the gang of strike breakers, so-called, att tempted to rel1indle the fires in the big steam boiler which is in use at the New Haven end of the new structure. The fires had been banked" for the night, and in starting them up it was neces- sary to pull them forward that fresh coals might be spread over them. In drawing the fires forward French mo- ticed in the dead coals at the back of the furnace a package done up on brown paper and tied with twine string. He became suspicious of it at once, and, reaching into the furnace for 1 it, removed it to a place of safety. Then he called Deputy Sheriff Frank Fisher, of Sheriff Durham staff, who, with two associates and a number of Pinkerton men, are guarding the strike breakers employed there.
 Deputy French at once notified Sher- If Durham, and the criminal authori- l have been at work on the matter ever since. Ii was reported at the New Ha- ven detective bureau yesterday that two arrests in the case were about to
 be made. but the report could not be confirmed.
 Ulron opening the package, which was done very gingerly, it was found to con- tain two large dynamite cartridges, both five inches long, ard together contain ed enough dynamite, had 1t exploded, to have blown the new bridge into an irreparable condition, and probably to have slaughtered good share of the men employed about the work. Just how effective the explosion would have
 been happily no one will ever know. Each cartridge was fitted with per cussion cap.
