Sure Harbinger of Midsum

Liners Officers.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Uneasy lies the
sea serpent upon his ocean bed in these
days Of backward summer, but easily
did the officers Of the Cunard liner Cam
pania tell OF the first appearance Of this
sure harbinger OF midsummer and the
season by the sea, and. heaven be
praised, he IS headed this way.
No photograph of the marine monster

the sea serpent is the only reptile or
animal that has escaped being snapped.
and there is said to be an opinion in
high quarters that he is a nature faker.
But the officers Of the Campania brought
back accurate measurements Of the ser
pent, and a mental photograph as
graphic as a Frederic Remington paint

Two hundred miles OF the coast Of Ire
land the wrfggling monster first reared
its ugly head from the rolling waves.
He was sighted from the ships bridge.
and the officers stood agliast as the
serpent winked and smiled. Full forty
feet away from the smile there was a
disturbance in the water, and the ma
rine glasses showed that the serpent
was waggtng his tail as he smiled.
The head was that OF a monster cat.

and sharp as a razor's blade.
Lazlly the serpent rode upon the
waves. smiling the while and wiggling
his tail, ana the captain ordered the
officer Of the deck 10 take accurate
measurements OF the monster by the
aid OF the ships sextant
When the passengers noticed the ex-
element on The bridge they gathered at
the rail OF the vessel and scanned the
horizon eagerly for sight OF the strange
thing which had upset the men on the
bridge. but in vain. as the sea serpent,

Employees.

CHICAGO, June 12.-Active prepara-
tions by the packers in the expectation
of trouble and a last move by the team
sters to enforce their demands has given
the threatened strike of drivers at the
stock yards a serious turn.
The recruiting of strike breakers-the
first ominous sign of labor troubles gem
erally-was begun in various cities.
Meanwhile, the heads of the big packing
concerns maintain silence regarding
their intentions, which was taken as an
other unfavorable Indication.
Some statement is expected today
from the packers. when a committee
from the teamsters' joint council waits
upon them to determine a definite an
swer to the ultimatum issued by the
union last Monday.
The central body of the teamsters de-
cided at a meeting last night to take a
hand in the situation and back the
packing house drivers. The position Of
the stack yards local was unanimously
Endorsed.
