TELEGRAPHIC TIPS

Honolulu, Sept. ?. 2.-Considerable uneasiness is felt here for the Pacific fleet as 1t Is impossible to get into communication with the ships. The severe storms of the past few days have played havoc with the wireless stations and great damage has been done to some of the towers and del- icate instruments. The operators are attempting to repair the appara- ,us but so far have been unable to get any response from other stations.
 White River Junction, Vermont, Sept. 2.-The Republicans have car ried the state for Prouty and he is elected governor by twenty-eight thousand. The new independence party made an active campaign, but boiled only about thousand votes all together Prouty's clear plurality will be somewhat less than nineteen hundred if the present ratio is con- tinued in..the late returns.
 Seattle, Sept. "A gruesome dis covsry was made this morning near Lake Washington. In clearing away a brush pile near the edge of the lake, the decapitated body of woman was found, utterly bare of all marks oi identification. Tho woman evidently had met her death some time ago, and as yet there is not the slightest clue to her identity.
 New York; Sept. 4::-The great gov. ernment suit, which is aimed at the heart of the Standard Oil Co.,, and is designed to dissolve the main compa. ny as incorporated in the state of New Jersey, has been resumed, and will be fought to finish with the best legal talent obtainable in the entire country. The trial was su spended during the hot months, a recess being taken 1T July. Operator Hisgen, a brother o1 Thomas Hisgen, candidate for the presidency on the Inde pendence tick ct, and member of the refining firm of Hisgen Brothers, has been put or thu. stand and has already given strong evidence against the octopus. It is believed that the trial will occupy the attention of the court for many weeks, and the government attorney. will make every effort to secure de cision against the big company under the Sherman antitrust law.
 Glasgow, Scotland, Sept. 4.-A la bor dem onstration of unusual violence took pla ce at the city hall last nigh when four hundred unemployed mel attempted to secure hearing before

the city council. The men had been denied admittance to the council chamber, the authorities fearing an outbreak and anticipating that they would not be content with quiet hearing. Upon the refusal of the coun- cilmen to alter their decision, the agitators proceeded to storm the hall, being encouraged by crowd of thousands of people who had as sembled. Advancing to the locked doors, the leaders kicked them down and were on their way to the meeting room before the police, who had been hastily summoned, could overcome the rush. Riot calls were sent in and after a short time several of the more violent ones were arrested. There were several on both sides W ho received somewhat serious injuries, but no lives were lost,
 Melbourne, Sept. 1.-The celebra- tion in honor of the visiting fleet is still proceeding with unabated zest, 1 but has been somewhat saddened by several serious accidents in which the sailors have been the victims. The worst of these occurred yesterday when two of the seamen were run down by train, both men being all most instantly killed. The accident has recalled. the similar fatality at Bellingham, when two men of the fleet were killed by street car, the fender giving away and dropping them under the wheels. The sailors have made themselves very much at home but have not abused the hospitality of Melbourne people, and will leave the most cordial memories of their visit when they sail away.

Blk by has canvassed the state thoroughly and says that Johnson's vote will show a decided falling off this year. He asserted that he believed that the pres ent governor would fail to be re-elect- ed by fifty thousand votes.

Red Cross Stamps

The city council at its recent meet
ing endorsed the Red Cross stamp
sale by the passage of the following
preamble and resolution:
| Whereas, All are agreed that every
effort possible should be made to
strike an effective blow at consump-
ton, the greatest scourge of mankind
today; and
Whereas, The use of the American
National Red Cross stamps at a nomi-
nal cost has been quite generally
adopted to accumulate funds for the
purpose of stamping out the white
plague"
| Now Therefore, Be 1t Resolved,
| That this common council by the pass
age of this resolution expresses it's ap-
prevail of such movement and encour-
ages the use of these Red Cross
stamps, especially with the sending
of holiday letters and packages.
They are neat and attractive, take
the place of the usual holiday greet
ing cards and their use by one will
call the attention of their use to 9th
ers and in that way the movement will
become what it was intended, great,
combined and national movement of a
great and noble purpose.
Milwaukee manufacturers and bust
ness men are doing their best to as
sist the Red Cross Christmas stamp
campaign of the Wisconsin Anti-Tu-
berculosis association, in the hope
that those in the state will do like
wise. Milwaukee cannot be expected
to carry the entire burden with few
cities of the state, and if the cam
paign to sell 100000 stamps by Jan
uary 1 is to be a success, the others
must get into the fight at once, as the
time is short. One of the largest in
dividual orders of Red Cross stamps
thus far received is for $4,000 from
the Allis-C Chalmers Co., which employs
5000 people. The directors of the big
concern realize what this means to
their employees and they are putting
just $3.50 into the fund to stamp out
the white plague.
Up to this time about 100000
stamps have been sold, leaving $780,
600 to be sold between now and jan
uary 1. In the first five weeks of the
campaign only 100000 were sold,
and although it is expecting much of
the energetic campaign managers to
accomplish the seeming impossibility
of selling that many in less than two
weeks, they are going to do it be-
cause they have given their pledge to
the National Red Cross society. It is
therefore, up to the people Of Wiscon-
sin to make this possible, for by as
sisting this worthy campaign they are
only working for themselves and for
their own benefit. They are the ones
who will gain by the fight On con-
sumption.
Buy a stamp and urge friends to
buy one.
