DR.. Bertillon, the eminent French vi

which they handle and use all day

TT. WILLIAM STRIKE is OFF
SUBMIT GRIEVANCES TO BOARD
OF ARBITRATION
Reach This Decision After Meeting
at Which tho Mayor
Speaks.

Fort William, Ont, Aug 16.-The
striking dock laborers of the Canadi-
an Pacific railway will return to work
en- masse this morning. A mass meet
ing of strikers and friends numbering
5000 persons was held in drenching
rain in the dock district and address
ed by Mayor Peltier, who urged the
men to resume employment and sub
nit their grievances to a board of ar
bitration under the Lemieux law.
Greeks and Italians stood in the
front row, with timid Poles and Hun
garians behind, the rear being filled
with rows of women, little children
clinging to them, groups who had the
vital interests of bread and butter in
the outcome. Surrounding the crowd,
only at respectable distance, were
lined up 600 red coated soldiers with
rifles In hand to quell any expected
movement which might border on the
danger line.
General manager of the Canadian
Pacific railway had previously to the
meeting given his consent to the may
or to take the men back if they had
agreed to arbitration. The front row
of speakers demanded the release Of
their compatriots, Is of whom had
been Jailed for riotous conduct and
also the withdrawal of the troops,
but to this the mayor replied that
the law must take it's course.
Finally after a prolonged discus
sion, surrounded by bullet splintered
cars and bullet spattered walls, with
a dozen men wearing bandages, mark
ed evidence of Thursdays bloody
fight, the strikers accepted the may
or's proposal and were given sc hours
within which to resume employment.
One hundred and fifty additional
strikebreakers arrived, making 400
working, enabling the seamer Manito-
ba to unload and get away and send
ing two trains of merchandise west

FRlJs CAN'T FORM CABINET.
King, In Despair, Summons Old Lib
eral Statesman.

Copenhagen, Aug. 1.-THE cabinet
crisis is serious and the king has tried
in vain for nearly two weeks to find a
new set of minister's.
Count Frijs, member of the land
tag, and personal friend of King
Edward, of England, promised to un-
dertake the task, though he felt sure
that he could not win the assistance
of the majority in the folkething.
He has informed his majesty that
his attempt was failure.
The king then suggested that Ad-
miral Richelieu form cabinet. but
both Count Frijs and Premier Neer-
gard declared that the admiral could
not obtain the support of any politi.
cal party.
When King Frederick insisted upon
Admiral Richelieu, both Frijs and
Neergaard said that they would moi
be responsible for such a move and
left the palace.
The king was deeply disappointed
but the emphatic declaration of the
count and the premier must have i'm
pressed him, for he has summon
ed to the palace, Count Holsten Led
rebrog, an old liberal statesman
whom Frijs and Neergaard had re
commended as the man to solve the
difficulty.
The result of the conference is moi
yet known.

Battle in the Clouds" of Fifty Years
Hence.

That the warfare of the future is to
be in some measure conducted high
in the air seems now to be accepted
by all. In anticipation of this deyel-
opment of scientific contest of ma
lions, Pain, the great pyrotechnlc
specialist, has prepared for this sea-
son the new display 1.-The Battle In
the Clouds" which will be shown for
the first time in the west at the Iowa
State Fair commencing Aug. 81. This
is said to be by far the most wonder
full of the many shows put up OF this
character 1t includes not only all the
latest developments in bombs, rockets,
signal lights, shells, and novelty de-
vices worked out in colored fire, but
also the use of airships especially con-
structed from which to carry on the
mock warfare high in the air. The
spectacle must be witnessed with the
thought of what is coming in the
future for it illustrates something OF
the wondrous possibilities of warfare
after the airship has become the COM
mon vehicle of the army.

s. D. SILVER SERVICE IGNORED
Gift to Cruiser Stored in New York
Navy Yard and Forgotten.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Whenever
Capt. James T. Smith. commanding
the armored cruiser South Dakota,
wishes to decorate his table with a
magnificent silver service he can do
SO by merely making request of the
navy department for the transfer to
his custody of the gift made to his
vessel by the people of South Dako-
ia five years ago.
When, in 1901, it was decided by
the department to name a cruiser for
South Dakota, the pride of the people
of that new and thriving state was so
aroused that they at once decided to
follow the example of other states
and present silver service to orna-
engine.
In 1904, long before the craft was
ready to be put afoat, the gift was
made by the governor of the state
with request that as soon as the
vessel was placed in commission the
silver be sent aboard.
In January, 1908, the South Dakota
was launched. The gift of the people
of the state for which she was named
appears to have been forgotten. The
silver service had been boxed and
stored in the New York navy yard
There it is supposed to be today. No
one seems to be especially charged
with the duty of delivering 1t to the
vessel.
The people of South Dakota have
become FESTIVE under what they re
gard as the Indifference shown toward
their generosity.
