TO RESTORE THE SCALE.
Amalgamated Workers Adopt Wage
Committees Recommendation.

Amalgamated Workers Adopt WAGE
Committees Recommendation.
Detroit, May 10.-The annual con-
vention of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
during the day adopted the wage COM
mittee's recommendation for the res
toration of the muck and puddle mills
scale of 10000. The wage commit
tee made similar recommendation in
regard to the boiler scale, but this
recommendation was referred to the
boiler committee. 1t is understood,
however, that the boiler committee has
already agreed to second the recon-
mendation of the wage committee, so
there is every indication that this
scale of 10000 will be adopted by the
convention.
Last year there was a cut of ap-
proximately 10 per cent. Incidental
conditions of work as outlined in the
footnotes show only slight alterations
from last year. The convention is
now waiting upon the reports of the
committees on the presidents and
other reports and the committee on
good of the order. which is consider
ing the various plans of reorganization

THREATEN AN INVASION.
Canadians May Start Trouble ir
Maine.

Washington, May 10.-A novel, not
to say alarming, condition of affairs
exists on the st. Johns river, the
stream which flows through Maine and
New Brunswick into the st. Lawrence
river. The Canadian government is
threatening to send men into Maine
for the purpose of cutting out log
booms. which, it claims. are obstruct-
ing the navigation of the river. The
threat is one of invasion If there ever
was one.
The threat was regarded so seriously
that Secretary Taft asked Hugh
O'Beirne, the charge at the British en-
bassy, to get Lord Lansdowne to adj
wise the Canadians to do nothing until
Senator Hale has had an opportunity
to get his bill passed submitting the
question in dispute as to navigation OF
that river to joint commission for
settlement.
The Canadians claim that the log
booms divert the waters OF the river
to such an extent that it's navigability
is seriously impaired and at times
wholly destroyed

Victoria, r. c., May 10.-Advices
from Japan received by the steamer
Empress OF India during the day re-
feet saneuine feeling over the expect
ed naval battle between Togo and Ro-
jestvensky. Much feeling is shown by
the press on account of Frances alleg-
ed breaches of neutrality. The Rus
SLAMS, through secret agents, are re-
ported to have bought up all the avail
able coal supply of Hongkong, Saigon
and Singapore.
High prices have been paid for
everything, bonus being paid to crews
of supply ships. At Saigon number
of natives were captured while trying
to set fire to the Russian store of coal.
1t is alleged they were melted to do SO
by the Japanese agents.

repainted and used by the Russians.
Mystery still attaches to the fate of
those who were on board.

ROUTE OF TRAIN CHANGED.
President Roosevelt Crossed Missouri
at Blair Instead of at Omaha.

at Blair Instead of at Omaha.
Omaha, May 10.-Late in the after
noon it was decided to change the
route of the presidential train and
send it across the Missouri river at
Blair, Neb., twenty-five miles north Of
Omaha. When the train reached FIRE.
mont it was turned over to the North
western road, which took the train
across the cutoff to Missouri Valley,
Ia, where the main line branches off
and runs direct to Chicago. The trip
across Nebraska was most pleasant
one for the president. Leaving Den
yer early Tuesday morning, nearly the
entire day was spent in crossing the
Nebraska plains. Several speeches,
all brief, were delivered by the presi-
dent from the rear platform of his car.
Special arrangements had been
made by the Union Pacific Railroad
company for the presidents comfort.
The Union Pacific transmitted over
it's wires the fresh news of the day,
which was delivered in its regular
bulletin form to the president, who
was pleased with this innovation in
keeping his train in touch with the
| news OF the world.

STREAMING EVERY EFFORT.
Social Democrats Working to Make
Demonstrations Successful.

st. Petersburg, May 10.-The Social
Democrats are straining every effort
to make the proposed demonstrations
on the Russian May day success.
They have succeeded in interesting
the workmen of several st. Petersburg
factories and Tuesday at the commit
tees invitation meeting of wOrkmen
was held in the Peoples park on Pet
roffsky island, at which, after affirm
ing their peaceable intent, 1t was de-
cided to participate in the parade. A
resolution was passed asking the
doumi to furnish a hall for a big meet
ing the evening of May IA There are
indications, however, that attempts to
create disorder may be more success
full in other cities than in st. Peters
burg, where the working population
learned by the harsh experiences of
"Bloody Sunday" that force will be
unsparingly used to maintain order.
One OF the biggest obstacles to the
success of the Socialists plans is the
influence of The women, who are urg-
ing their husbands and Sons to keep
out of danger.
The continuing disorders in other
parts of the empire have created ap-
prehension in administration circles.
A state of siege has been proclaimed
at Melitopol in the south of Russia
and in the governments of Grodno and
Wilma on the Polish frontier. The gov
eminent announces its intention to
further extend the state of siege II

ambassador. The members fully rObed
took up places about bare oaken ia
bles and the benchers filed in, Mr..
Choate leading the parade, though the
newest member is usually last. The
benchers passed down the center of
the assembly to a raised table. The
usual simple meal was served. The
benchers afterward retired to the prin.
cipal chamber for dessert, Mr.. Choate
this time walking last. AS he seated
himself at the table the assemblage
cheered enthusiastically many old
enthusiasm. At the door he spoke for
ten minutes, saying it was a great
honor to have his name enrolled among
the great men of the Inner Temple.
Mr.. Choate was elected unanimously
member of the Inner Temple on
April 10. Five signers of the Declara-
ton of independence were members
OF the Inner Temple, but since that
time until the election of Mr.. Choate
no American has been q member.

TWENTY-NINE KILLED.
Forty-four Others Injured In lorna
do at Marquette, Kan.

Marquette, Kan, May 10.-When
darkness fell upon this stricken town
1t was known that twenty-nine lives
had been lost and forty-four persons
were injured in the tornado that
wrecked Marquette during the day and
did much damage in this vicinity. OF
the injured thirty-fve were seriously
hurt and some of them may die.
The storm was the most disastrous
in the history of Central Kansas. One
large section of Marquette, where the
principal loss of life occurred, was en-
tirely wiped out. Reports from sur
rounding country show that the de-
struction to life and property was wide
spread and the list of dead and injur-
ed is growing constantly. The known
dead are:

A. V. Anderson, Mrs. Elmer Hultgren,

Mrs. POSTER and child, Charles Rob-
erts
When daylight broke over the town
1t found the entire population In a
state of panic. Business was entirely
suspended and every one who escaped
injury turned his attention toward aid
ing the wounded
The tornado seems to have formed
three miles south of Marquette and
did not spend it's force until 1t had
passed many miles north OF the town.
In Marquette the residence portion
west of the main street suffered the
principal damage. The houses in the
course of the tornado were all. with
two or three exceptions, completely
wrecked. In this section there were
number of modern residences, OF
which only one, the home of r. A.
Thompson, was left standing.
Order has practically been brought
out of the chaotic condition that pre-
vailed during the day, and relief
committee had begun dispensing aid.
