CALL SYMPATHlC STRIKE.
Many Teamsters at Chicago Walk
Out to Aid Garment Workers
Employers Determined.

Chicago, April S.-The teamsters
union, backed by all organized labor,
began a sympathetic strike Friday, by
which it hopes to win the fight begun
by the United Garment Workers
against clothing manufacturers last
November. Montgomery, Ward & Co..
where the sympathetic action was be-
gun. were severely crippled by the
strike. The full force of a strike OF
teamsters broke in the form of a siege
which laid upon one of the largest
mercantile houses in the city, stopped
the business so far as receiving and
shipping goods went, caused street
riots, including mob race through
down streets after a business man who
took the place of DESERVING 1teamster
and delivered a wagon load ofsgoods
to the strike-bound firm; brought
street blocllades and threatened to in
volve great number of drivers. in
Guiding 900 employed by six railway
express companies. The employers
have taken a determined stand and
announce that they will fight to the
end.
Chicago, April 10-The second day of
the transfers strike against Mongom-
cry Ward & Co. closed with the warning
factions farther apart and very little
chance of speedy settlement. The day
was marked by riot and violence in the
downtown streets. The police protec-
ton was the most formidable that was
ever given Chicago firm under similar
conditions, but it was not sufficient to
prevent some of the nonunion transfers
from being roughly handled. Eggshells
filled with acid were introduced into the
fight, supplying new weapon for strik-

The United States far surpasses ev'

copper, and consequently is less vital
~ interested in the discovery Of new
foreign sources Of supply than are
some of the European nations. They
have about doubled their consumrt

have been a little anxious because,
meanwhile, the worlds total produc-

one-third. At last accounts, Russia

which is of the greatest Importance
to students of heredity. In ferulizing
the eggs of sea urchins he discovered
that in natural sterilization the eggs
developed pecuHarsmembrane which

A sea level canal at Panama has
grown in favor since the date of the
purchase of the French company's
rights, and the engineers of the 18th
milan canal commission now submit
recommendations for the construction
of such a canal with a minimum
depth of 50 feet, the estimated cost
being $23O,5OO,0O0. At level of 60
feet above the sea the canal cost
$17S,013, 400, but would be more ex.
pensive to operate on account of the
locks.

The population of England and

that there was one petition for disso'

in the courts in 1902 for about each
$4,000 population. Experimental, or
trial marriages, seemingly are not Ell
couraged by the ease of securing d.
vorce. The sentiment of the people,
sustained by the courts, is clearly
against divorces or the divorced.

MEAGER DETAILS INDICATE DIS
ASTER EXCEEDING THAT OF
MOUNT PELEE ERUPTION.
Earthquakes Destroy Entire Cities
Loss of Life Will Be Between 5O,-
and 100, OOO-Whole Kangra VAL
ley Is Devastated.

London, April S.-FHty thousand
lives lost in one district alone and
many thousands in other portions OF
| the Punjab is the awful result of the
recent earthquake in India. Towns
| have been RACED, ancient and historic
buildings made mass OF Wreckage,
and population of hundreds of thou
sands offer up prayers against repeti-
ton of the shocks. Amid all this hor-
ror men, women and children are
starving, end unprotected from the
weather huddle on the bleak and desc
! late hillsides, fearing death at any
moment from another earth convul-
sion.
Disaster Almost Beyong Belief.
Fragmentary reports of the dreadful
catastrophe have reached Lahore and
thence sent here. Piecing these reports
together it is impossible not to reach
the conclusion that the greatest disas-
ter of modern times, exceeding the
horror of Mount Pelee's eruption, has
befallen India.
The whole Kangra valley in the
Jullinder section Of the Punjab has
been devastated. The town OF Kangra,
in the same district, a thriving city
with population of $4,000, is reported
wiped out, scarcely soul escaping.
The whole town of Palampur, con-
tanning about 5000 inhabitants, has
been leveled to the ground and not
even hut is left standing.
Three Missionaries Killed.
A telegram received by the Churtu
Missionary society reports that three
of the societys representatives at Kan
ray-Rev H. F. Rowland, Mrs. Daueble
and Miss Lorbeer-were killed by the
fall of the mission house during the
recent earthquake. All the other mis-
sionaries in Punjab are believed to be
safe.
1t now appears that 400 of the Sew
enth Gurkhas were killed at the
Dharmsala cantonment by the col
lapse of stone barrack building In
consequence of the recent earthquake.
In addition, 20 members of the First
battalion and so members of the Sec
ond battalion of the First Gurkhas
were killed, while it is roughly calcu-
lated that from 20 to 30 per cent. of the
native population of the surrounding
villages were killed. In addition to che
Europeans already reported killed at
Dharmsala, seven children of Euro
peans are said to have persisted.
Relief Steps Taken.
News comes from Simla. the sum-
mer capital, and where. Viceroy and
Lady Curzon are now staying and
which sustained some slight damage
from the earthquake, that the viceroy,
aided by Lady Curzon, has begun
active steps to relieve so far as posi-
BILE the restitution and suffering.
Communication by road and railway
is practically cut off and the supplies
at Simla are all that can be had for
some time. These are inadequate, but
are being distributed to the best posi-
BILE advantage. Unless stores arrive
from Calcutta and other Indian centers
the. death roll of the earthquake will
be augmented by thousands claimed by
famine, fever and cold.
