EVERY SOW and then papers IN the

THE New York Medical journal
translates from a German technical paper
DIR. Weichardt's account of his discovery
of the fatigue aniiioxin, which. when in
iected into animals, is said to produce
immunity from WEAKNESS. He first OBJ
rainel the muscular plasma from guinea
pigs extremely tired from being pulled
forward and back over rough ground.
This under certain conditions, was IN
iected into animals, such as hor@,S'
whose blood became antito~'G against
fatigue. The long ar' short OF all this
is that A reracfy 1r inertia has at last
, q. discovered. Panaceas for drunken
ness are occasionally advertised which,
it is averred, can be given unsuspecting
patients in coffee, and the fatigue anti
toxin will prove a great desideratum to
the many whose patience is often ex-
hausted by those under whom it is neces-
sary to build fire in order to impart a
movement to them.

Strike Drawing TO a CIosS.

Chicago, May 6.-Beginning the week
with all the elements of promising dis
aster, not only to capital and labor but
to the general public not directly in
yolyed, the garment workers-teamsters
strike today had passed into state of
coma, which only quick and startling
action by either side may revive to
semblance of its former alarming char
acter. A new move to bring about ar
bitration may be started today by the
union leaders who, despite their previ-
Gus emphatic position, have come to
realize that the employers are well stu
aied and that they will had protection
by the forces of the police department
and the sheriff's office. Six hundred
and thirteen extra policemen have been
sworn in up to this morning, and Mayor
Dune has arranged for an addition of
800 men if it is found they are needed.
The sheriff has sworn in $50 deputies
and declares his belief that the situation
is "well in hand, and that no further
troubles are likely to reach the import
ance of requiring a call for military
aid" With the apparent success
ful demonstration of the Employers
leaning Company and allied organiza-
lions in getting fairly good start to-
wards breaking the strike, the labor fede-
ration meeting Sunday is expected to
carefully canvass the probabilities Of
making concessions that will end the
trouble. The protection of the two tenn
porary federal injunctions is so evident
that until final action is taken, the labor
people are inclined not to give grounds,
if possible, for their permanent enroll
ment.
Sporadic instances of violence are noted
with comparatively few Of serious import.
This morning one exception is noted
At midnight, the police locked up Julius
Hilorecht, James Rogers, and Henry
Fifer, said to be strike breakers. Hill
brecht is charged with throwing bomb

with being accessories. All three, the

Warsaw, May 6.-The attempt 10 in
augurate a general strike has failed. The
Polish socialist party, which was respon-

men, has abandoned the projec. for the
time being. A new proclamation has
been issued to the workingmen by the
party directing them to return to work
and to await an appropriate time for
beginning a revolution. The slaughter
of innocent people in the msssacres of
May is denounced in the strongest
language in the proclamation.
The result of an inquiry ordered by
the government to discover the cause OF
the casualties among the troops during
the riots of May has disclosed the fact
that the killing and wounding of many
soldiers was due to a mistake on the part
OF the patrol. 1t was known that the
rioters did not carry arms, and that
they could not have inflicted the injury
to the troops. This led to the investi-
CATION. The inquiry brought out the
fact that an infantry patrol became
panic-strickeD on the night of May |
and began firing blindly down a dark
atreet. Another patrol was at the other
end of the street, and as the bullets
whizzed over the their heads aud struck
down several men. they imagined that
the rioters were making an armed dem
onstralion. The fire of The first patrol
was returned and the two military forces

surrender of Alleged Kidnapper.

Omaha, Neb., May 6.-Pat Grove,
alleged kidnapper of Eddie Cudahy, son
of the millionaire packer, of Omaha,
walked into newspaper office at one
o'clock this morning, and said he wished
to surrender himself and be under the
protection of the police after years OF
isolation from bis relatives and friends.
Grove was asked about the kidnapping
of young Cudahy, but he refused to
either deny or admit that he had any
part in the story. Eddie Cudahy was
kidnapped the night of December s,
1900. For two days his parents search
ed for him in vain. Then a letter was
thrown into the yard of the Cndahy
mansion, saying that if Cudahy would
drive alone to lonely spot on road
from Omaha and deposit sack contain
ing $25, 900 in gold, by a red lantern
which he would find at the place indi-
Gated, his boy would be restored to him.
Cudahy drew the $25, 900 in gold from
the Omaha National Bank, and left it by
the roadside at night as directed. A few
hours later the boy ran into the Cudahy
home safe and we'll. He had been kept
a prisoner in a vacant house in the out
skirts ofSouth Omaha and had been we'll
treated. Cudahy then offered S25, 900
reward for the arrest Of the man who had
kidnapped his boy. The city of Omaha
added $25, 900.
"a later dispatch from Omaha says
Grove has not given himself up to the
police, but is hiding somewhere in tn e
city. |

Rlacksmiths Strike.

All the blscksmiths employed in the
big shops of the Norfolk and Western
Railway Company in Roanoke went on
strike yesterday. One hundred and fifty
men laid down their tools and walked
out, and the blacksmiths in other Nor
folk and Western shops along the line
of road also struck. Trouble arose over
a question of permitting nonunion man
to continue at work in the Roanoke
shops after the union men had protested.
The strike may involve several thousand
men if it is not settled before sympathiz-
ers decide to follow the blacksmiths.
The blacksmiths are noncommittal
about their fight with the railroad, but
1t is known that the strike has been
brought on because of the presence of a
nonunion man in the Roanoke shops.
z. II. Cummings, general organizer
OF the American Federation OF Labor
and first vice president of the lnterna-
tional Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and
Helpers, has been in Roanoke for three

that four Russian torpedo boat destroy
ers attacked a japanese sailing vessel

ers set fire to the sailing vessel. Five

object of the raid is not quite clear. 1t
is possible, however, that the Russians
