Chicago Strike Worse.
Employers Buy 1000 Rifles
Strikers Make More Frequent
and Vicious Attacks on
Non-Union Men.

Chicago, May I.-Conditions
in the teamsters' strike were worse
today than at any preceding time.
The strikers were in uglier mood,
the rioting was more open and
vicious, and the attacks, on non
union men were more frequent and
daring than at any time since the
beginning of the strike. The
chief cause for the increased bel
ligerency On the part Of the strik-
ers and their friends is the fact
that the Employers Teaming AS
sociation today brought 1900
men into Chicago to take the
places Of strikers, and 500 more
are said to be now on the way
and will arrive within twelve
hours. These men will receive
the full pay Of union men, and it
has been guaranteed to them that
their positions will be permanent.
Among the strile-breakers are
200 farmer boys.
Tomorrow, whenever a wagon
Of the Employers Teaming> AS
sociation goes through the streets
rifle will be carried on each
wagon in open view. Dnring the
last week there has been much
complaint on the part of the strike
sympathizers of the readiness with
which non-union men. particular
ly negroes, have used revolvers.
A number Of rike-breakers were
arrested on a charge Of carrying
concealed weapons, and today the
attorneys for the Employer Team
ing Association called on Chief Of
Police O'Neill and asked if their
men had not the right to carry
weapons, provided they were held
in open view. Chief Of Police
O'Neill replied that there was no
law against it, and arrangements
were promptly made by the en-
p - RS to place riAs2bn every
one Of their wagons.
Over 900 rifles were purchased
today, and during the latter part
of the afternoon a number of wa
gons went through the streets with
a rifle lying across the knees Of
the driver and his assistant.
When Mayor Dunno was in
formed Of the fact that rifles would
be carried by non-union men he
was visibly disturbed, and he de-
clared that the police would not
be permitted to authorize the car
rying Of arms by any one, wheth-
er in the employment Of the En-
ployers' Teaming Association or
affiliated with the strikers.
There was report late this af-
ternoon that Mayor Dunno was
about to force an adjustment Of
the trouble, but this, he declared
tonight, was incorrect.
Five men were seriously hurt
during the fights today, and many
others were hurt.

CABINET Is SATISFIED
WHITE AND ASSOCIATES AGREE
WITH zEMsrvo WORK.

ST.. PETERSBURG. November 24.-The
witte cabinet appears to DE fairly satisfied
with the definition by the zemstvo congress
of its attitude toward the government, be-
lieving that ii win produce good impress
sion on the conservative sentiment through
out the country and materially aid the pre-
mier In successfully accomplishing his task
of finding q common ground between the
reactionists and malcontents.
The carrying of the first part of the res
olution, declaring that Count Witte can
count upon the support OF the zemstvo mu-
inequalities SO long as. he follows the path
marked out in the imperial manifesto. Is
the essence OF the action taken by the con-
gress, and though the words employed imply
distrust. Count White is ready to stand or
fall upon faithful adherence to the mani
festO program.
The subsequent articles of the resolution
are rather q declaration Of views as to
the course the government should pursue
than terms In the nature OF an ultimafum.
White and Universal Suffrage.
Although the declaration in favor OF direct
universal suffrage was carried by two
which has sprung up in the congress since
the last meeting. when it was practically
unanimous. may encourage the government
to defer the responsibility of taking this
step until the national assembly meets.
Count Witte himself. as previously cabled,
Is practically prepared to grant universal
suffrage direct to the cities, and in the
second degree to the country.
In view of the evident determination of
all the liberal and radical parties to trans
form the national assembly into constitu-
ent assembly some of Count Whites advis-
ers are urging the wisdom of forestalling
the national assembly by the immediate
preparation and PRONUNCIATION by the en-
peror of a conservative. moderate constitu-
ton.
This plan, they argue, would have the
double advantage OF being voluntary
action on the part of the government and
one which would tend to quiet the popular
fears of the danger of reaction.

SUMMARY ooURTs-MARTIAL.
Congress Will Again Be Urged to
Change the Law.

Necessity for change In the law pro-
viding for summary courts-martial in the
navy will again be urged upon Congress
at it's next session. Considerable reform
in this direction has already been ae-
complished by the scale Of punishments
which has been drawn up in the Office Of
the judge advocate general of the navy.
This scale has served to guide summary
courts as to the proper degree Of punish
ment to be pronounced for minor offenses.
But there is a greater improvement sought
which can only be obtained by legislation,
namely, the creation of one-off1cer courts
for the trial of minor offenSes. In the navy
summary courts consist by law Of four
officers On small ships this duty, 1t is
claimed, works considerable hardships on
the officers, whose other duties make 1t
hard for them to spare the time for court
martial duty.

ARDUoUs LABOR CONSIDERED.
Increase in Compensation of Union Sta
ton Commission Recommended,

Taking cognizance of a recently made
statement that the work In connection with
awards of damages incident to changes of
grade due to construction of the union sta
ton will be particularly arduous. the Com
missloners have drafted an amendment to
the act, approved April % 1904, to provide
payment of the damages. and today the
amendment ordered forwarded to
Chairman J. IL. Gallinger of the Senate Dis
trict committee.
The proposed amendment provides for an
Increase in the salary of the members of
the commission authorized to be appointed
by the act who have already been appoint
ed by the court, but have not actually en-
tered upon the performance of their duties.
II Is stated as apparent that the work be-
fore them will be of such magnitude that
the compensation provided by law for their
services will be inadequate, as there will
be between 500 and LOCO claims for dam
ages to be passed upon the asce-tanment
and determination of which will involve a
great deal of work and consume consider
able time. Provision Is therefore made for
increasing the compensation of each men,
Der of the commission from So 20 $40 per
day, when actually employed. The amend
ment also specifies that Jurors summoned
by the marshal under the provisions of the
act shall receive for their services So per
day.

John Burt began his life on the farm.
When John had mastered his let

CHAPTER THREE.
John Burt's Boyhood.

For two hundred years the Burt
house had withstood the blasts OF
winter and the whitening heat Of sum
mer. Time had worked upon the
rough exterior until 1t seemed like a
huge rectangular rock, weather-worn
and storm beaten. The small plateau
on which IL stood sioped northward
to the sea- Rugged rocks to the west
stood as wall. frowning at the quiet
beauties of salt marsh and cedar
swamp below. To the south were
patches of meadow wrested from
wood and rock by generations of toll.
Through this fairer section brook
wandered between banks festooned
with watercress. Old settlers knew
the locality by the name OF Rocky

When Hezekiah Burt died. Peter
Burt inherited the hold homestead In
Rocky Woods. He was young giant
with the shoulders of a Hercules. At
the age OF thirty he took to wife the
fairest maiden OF the surrounding
country, and 10 them a son was born
and chrIstened Robert Burns Burt. A
year later the mother slckened and
died. The grief of Peter Burt was
terrible as his strength. For a year
he remained prisoner in his house;
then returned 10 work, and for two
years labored with the energy OF
demon. His second marriage followed.
He led TO the altar the daughter OF a
poor farmer. and of this prosaic union
seven children were born.
