STRIKE BEGINS IN SWEDEN
STREET CAR MEN AND CAB DRlv.
Frs THE FIRST TO QUIT.
Merchants and People In General Arm
to Protectct Them
selves.

Stockholm, Aug. 5.-The labor con.
flict in Sweden shows signs of becom-
ing more acute. While the ranks Of
the strikers are considerably swelled,
the general strike called has not yet
become entirely effective. .
Many organizations, although SYM
pathizing with the strikers, hesitate
to join them actively.
The employees of the streetcar lines
and. the cab drivers stopped work and
neither cabs nor street cars are avail.
able. The fact that the troops are
protecting the gas works and the cleo
trio lighting plant, has incensed the
workmen, whose leaders threaten to
call out all the men unless the soldiers
are withdrawn.
The printers union held meeting,
but resolved to postpone, for the pres
ent, any decision in the matter of
going on strike.
A corps of workmen, some thousand
strong, is being organized with the
object of maintaining order and the
people generally, bankers, merchants,
ETC., are arming themselves for self.
protection.
The gun shops Of the city are practi-
cally denuded of small arms.
All tourists have left Stockholm.
Although the railroad men have de-
cided not to strike, the government is
taking the precaution to guard the
tracks with troops, fearing attempts
to blow up bridges or injure the per.
manent way.
Quantities of dynamite are reported
to have mysteriously disappeared re-
Gently from the government stores.
The leaders of the strikers claim
that the end of the week will see a
notable spread Of the movement that
the railroad, postal, telegraph and tele-
phone employees and the printers will
by that time have Joined in the strike.
All milk supplies have been cut of
and thousands of. babies are suffering
from lack of nourishment and the
change from cows milk to canned
milk.
All the saloons are closed and only
the best restaurants are permitted to
remain open, and even here 1t is pos.
sible to get wine only with a solid
meal. The ferries have stopped run.
ming and there is little communities
ton between Stockholm and the sub.
urbs reached by water route. This
will result in further elimination of
food supplies.
For the present all is quiet in the
city, but trouble is expected when the
stock of food begins to run low.

ARMOUR MAKES CHANGES
PLAN NEW MANAGEMENT OF AT.

Legal Department Of Chicago Concern
Advises That Local Situation

st. Paul, Aug. "a desire on the
part OF Armour & Company to gather
all Of the Armour corporations in
Minnesota under one head is advanced
as the reason for the action Of officers
OF the Armour Packing company in
sending to the secretary of state no.
tice of surrender of its franchise rights
In Minnesota and of its withdrawal
from the state.
The action is said to have nothing
to do with the plans Of Armour &
company to build a packing plant at
New Brighton, and those plans remain
unchanged, according to representa-
tives Of the Armour interests.
Attorney Urion for Armour & COM
.papy. states that the action of with.
drawal was mere formality" and

that Armour & Company desired to
bring all subsidiary corporations of
the Armour interests within the state

Urion. THE company thought 1t best
to put the whole enterprise In Mime

and technical action. That does not
mean that Armour & Company have
withdrawn from Minnesota by any
means"

Through Mr. Gleason, Thaw's law.

due to delusions, as the state con-
tends, but was promoted by what
,Thaw knewtof Whites practices. Mr..
Gleason has about 80 letters received
from Thaw which may prove one OF

Mr.. Morschauser tried to prove the
charges against White by reading
parts of Evelyn Thaw's testimony at
the trials. Thaw's letters to Mr. Glea.
son bear upon this, it is thought.
Trying to clear Thaw of another
"delusion." Mr. Gleason presented q
report of detectives regarding an al.

night. of Dec. "a, 1903. s,. The wording
Of this document was not made public.

II he can show that Stanford White
and a number of wealthy friends did
maintain several establishments where
young girls were ruined, and that an
attempt was really made on his cli-

able to dissipate some or the "delu-

mates that he has some surprises in
store for the remaining days or tho

Dance Derived from the saxons

The egg dance" is a very old Eng
fish dance, which was probably de,
rived from the Saxons. Eggs were
placed at certain intervals on the
floor, and the dancer took his position
and was blindfolded. The music used
was the hornpipe, and to it the per
former danced back and forth between
the eggs without touching them. The
position of the eggs and the figures
danced seem always to have been the
same, A similar feat was popular in
Holland in the seventeenth century
and the Valencians in Spain have
much the same sort Of dance at the
present time.
