STOCKHOLM IS QUIET.
Perfect Order In Maintained by the
strikers.

strikers.
Stockholm, Aug. lot Is still i'm
possible to foresee the end of the strike
which has been in progress for some
days.
However, 1t Is having little influence
on the social life of the capital. Per-
feet order Is being maintained and no
sign Is visible of the special measures
that have been taken to prevent out
breaks, though 1t is known that the
government Is keeping extra police and
troops close at hand in case of an emer-
gency.
Food is again plentiful and prices are
becoming normal. There has been no
serious decline in the prices of securi-
ties on the bourse. Street car and cab
traffic in the city continues, the munic-
ipality having ordered the cabmen to
resume work or forfeit their licenses
able as the men fear that in case they
go out they will lose their rights to
pensions. The theatres are filled night
ly and the cafes and restaurants are
being we'll patronized.
From many Industrial centers
throughout Sweden como reports of
more or less complete resumption OF
work Most of the newspapers are is
suing small sized sheets.
There was a stormy meeting today
of the telephone and telegraph en-
ployes concerning the strike but Its
result is being kept secret. The finan-
cial weakness of tho strikers unions
makes the success of the present move-
ment problematical.

UPHoLDs LIVE STOCK
QUARANTINE Law

Judge Armstead Brown handed down
most important ruling yesterday
| morning In the Montgomery City
Court, when he overruled the demur-
| rage OF the defendant and declared the
State live stock quarantine law con-
stitutional in the. case of the State
versus Quinna Bethune, a planter and
farmer of this county.
Mr.. Bethune Is charged with moving
live stock from a quarantined district
into a non quarantined district, In vfo-
lation or the rules and regulations OF
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board.
1t Is alleged that Mr.. Bethune's stock
Is infected with some contagious dis
lease or infested with some vermin SINH
lar to Texas cattle ticks. and. conse-
quently. his lot was placed In quaran-
tine by the State Sanitary Board.
On last Thursday when the case came
up before Judge Brown. the defendant
demurred to the indictment on the
ground that the law OF the Board was
unconstitutional. Mr.. Bethune claimed
that the law invested the officers OF
the Board with arbitrary power In vio-
lation of the State and Federal Con-
situations. He further claimed that
any member of the State Board could
discriminate between persons. as TO
who could and who could not ship
cattle. without regard to disease or
not.
Judge Brown took the matter under
advisement until today, when he hand
ed down his decision. thus sustaining
the constitutionality Of the law. the
case was set for trial for Aug. IL.
The state Live Stock Sanitary Board,
who are keeping a strict watch on the
sanitary conditions of the cattle ana
other stock of the State. is composed
of the following: Chairman. j. A.
wilkinson, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, Montgomery; Charles A. Carey
State Veterinarian, Auburn; DR.. Will
liam H. Sanders. State Health Ohce.,

New Orleans. La. Aug. 1o.-Storm
warnings for the Texas coast were Is
sued at the New Orleans weather ou-
reau at 10 o'clock this morning. A
storm. apparently of marked intensity.
Is now central over the gulf, south
east of the mouth of the Rio Grande.
and is moving noFthward. Conditions
make 1t unsafe for shipping in the
middle and western portions of the
gulf.
While it is not believed that the
storm will assume the proportions OF
a West Indian hurricane. so common
on the gulf. masters and pilots have
taken warning. and vessels which had
cleared and were preparing to sail
from gulf ports have again dropped
anchor and will await developments.
The disturbance in the gulf caused
cloudy weather and scattered rains In
the gulf States early today.

which. after being read in joint ses-
sion. was referred by Castros friends
in that body to a special committee
report, has died a natural death In
the committee room and instead Of the
desired report the curious ex-Presiden-
tial message has been archieved.
Thus a last spasmodic effort of the
few friends of the late dictator to
awaken some sentiment for their fallen
idol has failed and the ex-patriot In
Santander has not even had the sat

duced in the Venezuelan newspapers.
as must have been his wish.
The systematic spoliation OF the
fortune which Castro left behind him
in Venezuela has proceeded with such
gigantic strides that. after the first
six months the 100000 of known
assets have been almost wiped out. -
Castro owned 100000 worth OF
cigarette shares, which had been given
to him as his share in the promotion
of the cigarette trust. A few weeks
ago the directors of the cigarette COM
pany sold the s5.000,00o concern to a
private individual, Senior Garcia Guerra.

the day of the sale. the shares were
quoted on the exchange at 20 per cent
premium.
A new company which took In all
the old stockholders except Castro.
was formed.
An order by the commercial court
to have the $4,000 deposited in the
Bank of Venezuela to the order of who
ever might be the holder of this block
of stock was issued. In one day
81 100000 of good money became
$4,000. 1t was Immediately attached
by individuals who have law suits
pending against Castro for the recov-
cry of properties and damages.
A German citizen named Theodore
Hauer. arrived a few days ago with the
million dollars of cigarette shares IN
his possession, and he claims that
these belong to him by virture of pur-
chase from Castro. He will begin
action against the alleged perpetra-
tors of the reorganization whicn
"froze out" these shares.
