NEW YORK, August 2S.-Important buy
ing Is about the only obtained explanation
for the great strength OF Erie In the last
six months, but 1t fails to satisfy the Wall
street demand for reasons. The speculat tive
community Is told that the Erie Is q second
Reading. ana Is prepared to believe that its
possibilities OF expansion In the course of
the next two or three years warrant this
assertion, but 1t believes that the accumu-
lsion Of stock that has been going on is
for future developments nearer at hand.
1t Is true that the road needs money!

ing 10 points or more above the general
mortgage fours, the price advancing to Ill
at the close yesterday, going higher this

present desire Oh Intention to allow CONVEX
sion now.
Why this Is so is one of the questions for
which the street would like an answer.
There will be disappointment In some quar-
ters usually not over sangutne IL facts not
quite SO Drosaic those that have been
alluded to do not out before long to &C
count for the tremendous absorption Of Erie
this year.
NEVERTHELESS, in weil-informed circles EN-
phasis Is laid on just those prosaic facts
which are even now fairly well apprehended
as adequate grounds for the move in Erie
l. Is probably not going too far to say that
two major portions OF the Erie improve

and the enlargement of the terminal In Jer-
sey City--will add $3.0O0.OOO to $5.OOO.OO0 to
the railroads net income within the year
following their completion.

The Coal Trade Journal says: Now that
conditions have improved and people look
less darkly upon the course of business we
hnd that 1t Is quite freely admitted that
the weekly coal tonnages actually used up.
the trade requirements of the country are
on an extremely large SCALE probably
larger than ever before, and that there Is

requirements that has led to the low prices
OF the past few months, not falling of
in the demand. which all will admit has
seldom or never been exceeded"

Followed U. s. Presidents.

The State Department has received a mail
report from the United States consul at Ba-
tavia. Java. saying that the Russian cruiser
Teretz arrived there on June %. The vessel
did not have enough coal on board to leave,
and the authorities, after communicating
with the home government. ordered the YES
sci to disarm and remain until the end of
hostilities between Japan and Russia. In
this case the government of the Neither
lands followed the precedent established by
the United States in the case of the intern
ment of the Russian cruiser Lena at San
Francisco.

Cost Of the Loss of Sleep.
ON the Medical Recor,


AS a general rule the lad at school be-
tween the ages of thirteen and sixteen re-
quires nine to ten hours of sleep Crow
ing boys need a large amount of Sleep and
when this is denied them. neither their
bodies their minds can develop prop
erly. An English contemporary points out
that this lack of hours of rest falls most
heavily on the clever boys, who by reason
Of their ability are raised to higher forms
In which the time given to school work Is
longer. and asks If this may not explain in
some measure the disappointing med,ocrity
in later life of the boy who gave promise
of brilliant mental capabilities.

STRIKE DISORDERS.

With l 1880 teamsters on strike last
night, with constant accessions to their
number and with the express determlna-
ton of the EMPLOYERS Association to
to take a firm stand for the "open shop"
and to fight the teamsters' union to the
bitter end, Chicago to all appearances
stood on the eve of one of the greatest
industrial urheavals in her history.
There was rio;ing 10 various parts OF
the city yesterday, despite the strong
guards of policemen and the numbers OF
private detectives hired by the Employ
ers' Association to protect their wagons.
During the clashes three persons were
seriously injured. two of whom VIII
probably die.
The declaration made last night by
members of the Employers Association
that it would probably discharge any
teamsters who refused to haul good to or
from Montgomery Ward q Go. brought
out the teamsters in many downtown
mercantile houses during the day, and
the number, it was expected, would be
increased largely by tomorrow.
While the labor leaders were confer
ence Yesterday delegates of the Chicago
Employers Association, the Commercial
Exchange ard representatives OF outside
industrial organizations met at the Union
League and declared that they would
fight to the last ditch for the "open
shop" in Chicago.
At the close Of the meeting the follow
ing authorize statement was made:
"The employers are of one MIND
They are determined to have this city
mad, an open shop They are tired o!
standing for slavery such as we have en-
dured from labor unions in the past.
The employers pay the men for days
work. and if the men fail to do 1t they
will be discharged. They cannot tell US
with whom we shall or shall not do
business. We are not making any fight
against the unions as such, but the
unions of Chicago are evidently deter
mined to run the business of every mer-
chant in the city, aud we are going to
show them that they cannot and vii
not be allowed to do it. We are ready
to defend our interests against any fight
that the teamsters and the Chicago Fede-
ration of Labor may pu: up"
Subscriptions were taken during the
day to strengthen the Employers Tam
ing Company. the weapon with which
the Teamsters' Union is to be fought,
and last night President Mark Morton,
of the company, who is brother OF Paul
Morton, secretary of the navy, had u,
600, 600 at his disposal and had ample
assurances from business men that he
could have as many times the amount as
was necessary.
