RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
Former Student Of st. Louis College
Killed by Mexican Soldiers.

ST. LOUIS, September 4.-William de la
Pena, former student of the Christian
Brothers College OF ST. Louis and the
Ohio State University. has been killed by
force Of rurales obeying orders from
the Mexican government. according to
a message received here today from
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mex.
His death. according TO the message,
was due to the interest he was taking
in the approaching elections as a member
of the anti-re-election party. which is
opposed to President Diaz. De la Pena
was twenty-one years old. While at the
Ohio State University last year he was
secretary Of the Cosmopolitan Club and
was elected vice president for the coming
year.
The dispatch says he was at his coun-
try home when an officer of the rurales
invited him to take walk. He mounted
his horse and went with the soldiers.
Next day servants found his body rid
died with bullets. Two rurales, 1t was
later discovered. were wounded.

Loss INCURRED BY STRIKE.
Influence Of Labor Troubles on Eco.
nomic Activities in Sweden.

NEW YORK, September 4.-Concerning
the great strike in Sweden, the acting
consul for Sweden in New York, c. G. G..
Anderberg, made a statement today re-
sponsive to inquiries which have been
made as to the influence Of the strike on
the economic activities of Sweden:
The estimates of losses incurred by
the strike, as given by the press. foreign
and domestic, are necessarily only ap-
proximate. Strikers, Of course. lose their
wages during the strike, and this has
been reckoned to be about $25O,OOO per
day at the beginning of the strike. On
the other hand. this sum represents
SO much reduction in favor of the en-
ployers. Still. it must be conceded that
the prolonged suspension Of factory work
entails in some industries considerable
loss. which becomes greater the longer
the strike lasts.
Not inconsiderable savings have been
made by the prohibition of the sale Of
beer and spirits during the strike. 1t
is to be believed that the loss from sus-
pended manufacturing activities will, in
measure, be neutralized by the en-
forced economy and lessened local con-
sumption. 1t Is also confidently expected
that the economic activities generally
throughout Sweden and their relation to
foreign trade will not be materially af-
fected by the strike or its result"
