Already the Losses by it
Are Estimated al
S6O0,OOO
BOTH SIDES ARE DETERMINED
Steamship Companies are Being
Put to Great Trouble But Seem
Determined to Fight it to
Finish.

New York, May 1O.-The gravity
in the longshoreman's strike grows
with the hours. This is because the
congestion of freight is becoming rap,
idly greater, the total monetary loss
. thus far being reckoned at about
S600,000 involving business in many
parts OF the country. 1t is also be-
cause an element of the strikers
seem to be ready to resort to vio-
lence, as was manifested last night
when three hunured Italians and Pol-
ish strike-breakers were struck anu
attacked by several hundred strikers
and sympathizers in williamsburg
and a savage fight ensued in which
stones, knives and clubs were useo
and numbers Of persons were hurt,
including some policemen.
Both Sides Are Firm.
Then again, both sides show a hxity
of purpose which does not presage an
early end Of the trouble. The strik
ers, who now number about 12,OO0, dc
clare they win not yield unless the,4
demand for higher wages is granIed,
and the steamship lines are equally
insistent that no concessions viii b.
made by them and that they viii al
stand together. Meantime Ponce
Commissioner Bingham has takeu
the preeaution 70 keep in reserve at
the station houses ali policemen ex-
cept those on patrol, which, is in one
sense, a mobilization OF 5000 police
men.
j. H. Thoams, general manager OF
the International Mercantile Marine
Company, speaking for the trans
Atlantic lines involved in the strike
said that the heads of all these
lines had discussed the situation and
he said they were unanimous in the
position that the demands OF the stri.
kers were exorbitant; that the com
panies could not afford to meet them
and that the strikers places would
be filled by other men at the same
scale rhe companies will bend
their energies to getting their vessels
away on schedule time, even if this
be with partial cargoes.
To emphasize their contention tha;
higher wages are needed because liv-
ing expenses are higher, the strikers
are having a parade of their wives
and others dependent upon them.
Companies Hard Pressed.
The lengths to which the steamship
companies have been driven in their
effort to get their ships away on time
was well illustrated today in the case
of the Oscar II, of the Scandinavian
line. In order to get the ship out oil
port today stewards and sailors and
even the wireless telegraph opera
tor on the steamer were pressed into
service and every one of them was
struggling with boxes, DarfelS anu
casks.
The managers for the companies
still assert that the strikers will
have changed their mind in a few
days more and the trouble will soon
end. The companies are as firm as
ever in their expressed determination
not to accede to any Of the demands
made upon them The leaders Of the
strike say the hopes Of the compan-'
les are not well based PatricA
o'Connor, chairman of the executive
committee of the strikers, declared
today that in spite Of the faulty cr-
ganization the men are still standing
solidly together.

Regret at the death Of the Rev. John
Watson, "Ian Maclaren," is accentu-
ated by the sympathetic reflection that
he passed away SO far from his home
and the intimate circle which had sur
rounded him for many years. Not that
he died among strangers or In
strange land, speaking with broad sig
nif1cance, for his literary and platform
work had brought him so conspicu-
ously before the public that he was as
generally known In America as In En-
gland and could count himself at all
times among friends and sympathizers.
DR.. Watson was q man Of attachments,
with much positiveness and strength
Of character and considerable literary
force. He came into literary reputa-
ton about fifteen years ago with the
vogue that followed the rise OF Steven
son and Barrie, and while 1t would be
unfair to say that his writings pos
sessed the peculiar charm Of those dis
tinctively literary men, his work, and
especially his early work, proved I'M
mensely popular and brought him a
large following. Many of the quail
ties which had given him a local repu-
tation as a pulpit orator were con-
spicuously displayed in his published
writings; he was always the teacher
and the preacher, and his natural
force and his instinct to sermonize
commended him to an element that
otherwise might not have been enroll
&c among his admirers. To Americans
he was known also as lecturer, and
Of late years he had been heard on the
platform In all parts of the United
States. He was an earnest speaker,
who always had something to say, and
who said 1t with force and conviction.
Both In his books and in his lectures
he argued the gospel of comprehensive
we'll doing, and if a pulpit style mill
tated against his literary popularity, 1t
certainly did not result disadvantage
ouSly to his success with his lecture
audiences. His life was busy and a
fruitful one; he will be remembered
as useful force in the circles in
which his influence as a moral leader
was exercised, and one Of his books at
least will remain as a prominent and
interesting feature of q remarkable pc
Rod of Scottish dialect literature.

Words by Fanny Crosby" Open al

ANIMALS CARE FOR YOUNG.

eft has been proved from the expert
ence of showmen and animal trainers
time and time again that animals can
take care Of their young much better
than human beings" said John Patter-
sen, animal trainer for the Adam Fore
paugh-Sells Bros. shows, according to
the Washington Post.
$50 far as l know, there is only one
place in the country where they raise
hippopotami, and that is in the Bronx
Park in New York. When the first
baby hippopotamus was received the
mother developed the habit of taking
the baby under the water and holding
it there for twenty and thirty minutes
at time.
"Now there was q bunch Of wise
keepers that watched the performance
a number of times, and became greatly
agitated. They feared the old lady
would drown tie little one, SO, rather
than endure the reproaches Of the park
authorities, or the agony Of seeing It's
death. they took it from the mother.
It was nowhere but on deck for that
little fellow from thence on, the wise
ones having concluded they knew the
game of bringing up baby hippopotami
better than the mother.
1.-THE result of their care and atten-
ton was a hippopotamus funeral, with
the attendants and the old beast for
the chief mouners. Dhe next time the
trainers were wiser, and when the
mother took her offspring under the
water for twenty or thirty minutes at
time their pulses behaved III nor
nal way, and the little fellow was al
lowed to soak. This one grew aud was
sent to Cincinnati.

UTILIZING THE ZEBRA.
eeeeeeEceeseeGGGGe'

The development of the African col
onies has been retarded, says a writer
in the New York Sun, on account Of
the difficulties of transportation. In
South Africa trek oxen are used, but
vast numbers of these are killed by the
dreaded tsetse fly. North Of the Fam
bezi, horses, mules, donkeys and draft
animals of every kind are found impos-
sible, owing to the same Scourge. Yet
II an efficient service Of draft animals
could be obtained, the trade would be
doubled.
A year ago it occurred to Captain
Nys Of the Belgian Grenadiers that If
the zebras, which roam in innumerable
herds, could be trapped and tanned they
would solve the transportation problem.
For the zebra is said to be immune
from the deadly effects Of the tsetse
fy. He made known his idea, and the
sum of twenty thousand dollars was
appropriated for experiments.
Captain Nys had hard work getting
his caravan together. The Congo tribes
seldom work, preferring to leave this
disagreeable part of life to their wives.
He succeeded. however, in collecting
twenty-five men, and established
camp In the middle of the zebra coun-
try. Some OF the herds that he saw
numbered three thousand. In their
wake trailed troops Of lions and Loop
ards.
After trying, unsuccessfully, differ
ent methods OF trapping the zebra,
Captain Nys had an immense corral,
or staked enclosure, built, with q fun
nel-shaped mouth into which the ami
mails could be driven by beaters Once
inside, the zebras would find grass and
fresh water, anl all their natural sur
roundings, Iii the various corners sta
bles would be built, and here the ami
mals might gradually be tanned.
After many difficulties, on army Of
some seven hundred natives was en-
gagged and instructed. Captain Nys
had to travel many hundreds of miles
to get these men from their chiefs,
always going on foot, for horse or mule
is impossible in the tsetse-hy country.
1t took several months to construct
the stockade, which enclosed two hun
dred acres. Then, one morning, the
army of heaters spread out fan-like,
for ffty or sixty miles, and gradually
drove 10 some three thousand seven
hundred 2ebras.
When the captain saw this immense
herd nearing the fu&tueI Of his corral,
he thought his troubles were at an end /;
bur disappointment awaited him. Sud
deniy the herd stampeded A large
troop of lions were worrying them in

wilderness. Barely twenty five ami
mails were taken.
Three times the Zebras were driven
back by the lions. but the fourth hunt
was success, and seventeen hundred
animals were entrapped in the enclos-
ure. They fought and bit one another,
raced hither and thither, and dashed
their pretty bodies against the solid
fences, crippling, and in many cases
killing, themselves. For four or five
days many of the Zebras refused to eat
or drink. Some even starved to death.
But gradually most of them grew ac-
customed to their new life, and were
forced iuto the stables.
In about a fortnight the creatures
became used to the presence of men,
and a few permitted themselves to be
harneSsed into light carts.
Thus Captain Nys has demonstrated
that there Is in Central Africa an in
digenOus animal, proof against the
tsetse Fly, and capable of doing the
work Of mule or horse, in a region
where both are impossible It is hoped
that gradually the long trains of ma
tive porters and women will be super
seeded as beasts of burden.
