The Telegraphers.

Chicago, July 10.-PresidenL Samuel
j. Small, of the Telegraphers' Union,
leaves San Francisco today for Chi
cago. With his arrival this city be-
comes the center of the strike troubles.
Failure of the final effort on the part OF
strikers here to effect compromise or
get hearing from the Western Union
officials led to the belief that immediate
union action will follow SmalPs arrival.
A crisis has arrived, and it is expected
that he will secure satisfactory terms
from the Western Union st once or de-
clare strike of much proportions as to
compel concession. Local union officials
say guerilla warefare against the West
ern Union Company has proven I'M
ayailing and that national officers,
backed by unions all over the country,
have determined to adopt policy OF
concerted attack upon the company at
widely separated points. There is little
probability of strike this week. Pres
ideut Small will meet the local organ
izations here Sunday. 1t is expected
now that simultaneous strikes will be
called at this meeting in Chicago, San
Francisco and New York, cutting of
the opportunity of transferring small re-
serves from point to point as needed.

Hamilton, Mass, by the critical illness
of his wife. Mrs Niger and the two
d daughters have had 10 undergo operations
for tonsiIitis.
Affdavits having been made by ply
sicians as to her physical condition, q
motion will be made in the District Su-
preme Court today for the transfer of
Mrs. Anna Bradley, charged with the
murder of Senator Brown, from her cell
TO hospital. 1t is said that she is IN
very bad health.
1t has been figured out by statsticaliy
inclined naval officers that the sending
of big fleet of wsrships to the Pacific
will be of great financial advantage TO
coast cities. Records in the department
show that it costs approximately ST.
900, 900 annually to maintain battle
ship and $500, 600 for the care OF an ar
mored cruiser. This includes the cost
of repairs, coal, provisions and pay OF
officers and men. All but the latter
must be supplied from the resources of
the far West. There will be in the
neighborhood of 5000 mouths on the
feet that must be fed three times II day.
Millions must be expended for dock
facilities if the fleet remains any length
of time.

new postoffice inspection district Of

The Hague Conference.

The Hague, July 10 Americas pro-
position exempting private property
from seizure at sea during war started
the first warm argument in the peace
conference today. 1t was finally decided
to postpone a vote until next Wednesday
when, it is believed, the proposal will
be voted down unless withdrawn.
Most of the speakers declared the pro-
position ideal, but premature, and pre-
lerred some moderate improvement rather
than such a radical change.
Italy, Belgium, Brazil, Holland,
Greece, Norway aud Denmark for the
most part favorei uniform treatment Of
property in land and naval warfare.

ia it certain that Miss Schenck will want

doubtful if she can bar the old scenes
after her now shattered romance. The
girl left the Victoria Hotel today for a
more modest hostelry-Dot, it is under
stood, because she lacked funds-but be-
cause Wilson is said to have been 30 ur-
gent for an interview that she decided to

BY their 6 to l2.year-old or1erlies pr,
vented what trealened to be fearful
fire panic among inmates of the Hebrew
Orphan Asylum early today. The fire,
starting in the laundry, quickly filled
the building with smoke. The l, 200
children in the asylum were in bed,
but at the cry of FIRE stsmpeded for the
dormitory doors. The orderlies, mar
shaled at the head of the stairwaJ :,
checked the rush and sent the children
back to their rooms where Elk little bug
lers, none more than six years old,
marched through the big structure sound
ing the daily reveille. So accustomed
have the boys become to burrying into
their clothes at the bugle's sound that
they forgot the fire In their haste to
dress. The fire was extinguished with
about SO. 900 loss.

Steamer Strikes Iceberg.

New York, July lO.-An iceberg got
the worst of it in collision with the
German Lloyd steamship KrOuprinz
Wilhelm early Monday. Passengers on
the big liner, which reached quarantine
today, were asleep whensihe ship and
iceberg crashed, and so slight was the
shock that few of them were awakened.
The officers admit, however, that they
had the scare of life time. The vessel
was running at reduced speed in pitch
darkness when the berg, 40 feet high,
doomed up dead ahead. The engines
we're instantly reversed, but the ship
struck the berg a glsnciug blow and
Clipped corner from the massive ice
cake which tottered for moment and
then tipped bottom upward with a terrific
splash.

AMOS WALFoRD, the West SchuYlkill,
Pa, weather prophet, who won fame by
predicting ten days in advance the ex-
nc. time Of the beginning of warm
weather last month, is out in new
prediction, in which he declares the lat
ter part OF July and beginning of August
will be prolific of disastrous electrical
s. orms, caused by extreme heat. Over
100 persons will be killed by lightning
within that time in Pennsylvania alone,
he declares. Waliord bases his predic-
iions by watching the movements OF
birds. In the days of ancient Rome
there WAS class Of "wissacres" known
3 sueurs, who pretended to foretell mum
dane events by the fight of birds and
by examining the entrsils of the same.
A celebrated character of classic days
said he failed to understand how two
augurs could look each other in the face
without laughing Were he living in
our day he would doubtless repeat his
observation.

emit. The decision OF Judge Pritchard

handed down today.

The united STATES and Japan.

London, July 10.-England today
Acknowledges the possibility of war be-
tween the United States and japan.
Confession of this belief is evident by
the preparation being made by the gov
eminent to prevent Great Britain being
drawn intn such conflict despite her
treaty with japan. Diligent study OF
the treaty, it is asserted, has found a
loop.hole whereby England may evade
On technicslity giving assistance to her
ally except in contingencies too remote
to consider. For the first time since
the dispute between the nations arose
English newspapers today speak of war
as possibility by discussing the attitude
they must assume in the event of hostil-
tiles. Gas long as San Francisco de-
cines to give the japanese fair treat
ment friction is inevitable, and this may
at any moment become acute, England
has a special interest 10 Japanese-Amer-
lean relations. In the event of the war
between the two countries it will prob
ably be the duty of England TO inform
Japan that under no circumstances
would she form a war contract against
America."
Toxic, July l0.-The Nichi Nichi
Shimbun today declares that Viscount
Aoki, Japsnese ambassador to the
United States, is expected to return to
Japan in October. Extreme dissatisfac-
ton has been expressed BY many
elements with Aoki's evident friendli-
ness to the United States which has been
described as bis dilatoriness to the cause
of japanese in America and his recall
has been frequently urged. The decla-
ration that he will return in October is
regarded therefore as significant.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only
one way TO cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inAamed condition Of the mucous lining
ct the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
indamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Cstarrh Cure.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 10, 1907.

THE MINISTERS of Virginia last win
ter through body known as the inter
UNCONVENTIONAL committee, took up With
the railroads of the State the matter OF
running trains on Sundays, and after a
conference between the committee and
the presidents of the railroads it wss
agreed to stop selling all the very cheap
tickets, good on Sunday only, and also
not to run any more Sunday excursion
trains. By this arrangement the Sunday
excursion trips to Bluemont, which cost
patrons of the road one dollar have been
cut off. While we all have our individ-
ual opinions concerning the observance
of Sunday, it may be stated that this
movement has brought forth mild pre-
test from a large class of people who
have no other day in the week to spend
in the mountains. That Sunday is deS-
ecrated by large percentage OF people
cannot be cOntroverted, but many are
inclined to think that persons who &C.
ca,ionally spend Sunday in a quiet and
sober manner quading the air of the Blue
Ridge could be engaged in more mis-
chievous pastimes on that day. Thous-
an1s live and die without seeing an
ocean shore or a mountain peak-men
who are compelled to toll six days in
every week-men who never have a
vacation and never expect an intermis-
sion 10 their lsbors save on Sundays,
when museums, art galleries, &C., are
closed. Such have no taste for the saloon
or more questionable resorts, but to Them
a change of scenery and trip to the
mountains, if for one day only, is a
boon. They read of their neighbOrs de-
sorting cities before the advent of the
first hot wave, while they are compelled
to plod on and bear the heat and burden
of every summer.

The most radical, determined and
wide-sweeping assault upon the capital
isiic power of the country yet under
taken by the Roosevelt Administration
was begun today when the Department
OF Justice set in motion its scheme for
elioining the tobacco trust from OF
Grating 2 combination to the restraint Of
trade and ultimate throwing of the mo-
nopoly into the hands Of receivers. Mil
ton d. Purdy, the "trust-busting ex-
pert" Of the Department of Justice,
and James c. McReYnolds, special coun-
sci, appeared for the government in tine
United States Circuit Court for the
Southern district OF New York and
filsd the civil suit. About 100 compa-
mics and individuals are mentioned in
She bill SIS being component parts OF the
great tobsccO trdst Mr.. Purdy, adj
mits that the government is not pre-
pared to make an open fight at this
time on the appointment of receivers
Tor the corporations represented In the
tobacco trust. The request for receivers
is more in the nature offs suggestion to the
court than a determined legal step. The
tobacco trust attack is but starter. A
similar assault is already planned against
the powder trust, and others are to fol-
low as rapidly as the machinery of the
courts and government can grind them
out. The extreme radicalism of this
latest move against the money power has
caused sensation already in the bust
ness and financial circles Of the country.
The almost absolute power which the
government will be able to WELD should
il prove successful in its campaign for
receiverships for giant monopolies is
readily apparent. Through that method
it will hold & club capable of bs!tering
down the strongest combination and
make further laws against the trusts I'M
necessary.
