THE APPROACH OF FAMINE.
Prices of Food Going Up by Bounds The Temper of the Strikers and the Populace Rising Without Growth of Strike Fund.

Stockholm, Aug. 5.-Although Stock holm has been quiet tonight, except for several minor demonstrations by mobs of strikers it is believed the sit uation represents merely the calm be- fore the storm. The ranks of the strik- CTS are being augmented hourly and the temper of the strikers and inhab- itants of the city in genertl is hourly increasing.
 Serious trouble at any moment is feared The government is preparing for any contingency Additional troops have been ordered to Stock holm and the streets are full of clat- tering army wagons arriving with sup plies from the farming districts. With in the city the pinch of hunger is be- ginning to be felt The bread supply is nearly exhausted and owing to the strike of the butchers the supply of meat is also running low. Prices are rising to a point that almost precludes the poorer classes from buying food
 Thousands of the poor are living all most entirely upon fish they are able to catch. The Norwegian unions have already donated $4O,OOO to the strike fund and are making further collec tions for the cause. Members of the Danish unions promise to contribute "a percentage of their weekly wages as long as the lockout lasts and col lections are being taken up in Finland for the strikers

PRESIDENTS ESTIMATE
A Good Law Though it Might Have
 Been Better.

Washington, Aug. 5.-President Taft tonight gave out a statement embody- ing his views of the new tariff act. The statement in part says: "I have signed the Payne tariff bill because believe it to be the result of sincere effort on the part of the republican party to make a downward revision. and to comply with the promises of the platform as they have been gen. orally understood and as a interpreted them in the campaign. This is not a perfect tariff bill or a complete com pliance with the promises made, strictly interpreted, but fulfillment free from criticism in respect to subject matter involving many sche- dules and thousands of articles could not be expected.
 It suffices to say that except with regard to whisky, liquors and wines and in regard to silks and to some high classes of cottons. all of which may be treated as luXuries and proper subjects of a revenue tariff there have been very few increases in rates.
 There have been a great number of reductions in rates and they consti- tute a sufficient amount to justify the statement that this bill is a substan- tial downward revision and a reduc- tion of excessive rates.
 This is not a free trade bill. It was not intended to be. The republi- can party did not promise to make q free trade bill.
 Tt promises to make the rates pro- tective but to reduce them when they exceed the difference between the cost of production abroad and here, making allowance for the greater normal profit on investments here. I believe that while the excess has not been re- duced in a number of cases, in a great majority the rates are such as will protect American industries, but are low enough in the case of an abnor- nal increase of demand and raising of prices, to permit the possibility of importing the foreign and thus pre- vent excessive prices.
 'The power granted to the executive under the maximum and minimum clause may be exercised to secure d removal of obstacles that have been 'interposed by foreign governments in the way of undue and unfair discrim- ination against American merchandise and products.

 The senate then adopted MT. Ald rich's concurrent resolution providing for reduction of duties on various leather manufactures to meet the views of western senators who had been defeated in their efforts to retain protection on hides MT. McCumber's resolution providing additional rebate regulations for the bill was amended at the instance of MT. McLauren to include the provision. The provision for free cotton bagging was adopted without division.
 Six o'clock was agreed upon by the two houses as the hour for final ad- journment The senators loitered about until the arrival of the hour. A resolution offered by MT CuIberson in appreciation of the senate for the able and impartial manner in which the vice president had presided over that body, was adopted MT. Sherman thanked the senate for the courtesy extended to him. Wishing the senators a happy return to their homes he de clared the extraordinary session of congress adjourned without delay.
 The house devoted the last day of the special session to perfecting the tariff bill and transacting a mass of routine business. The speaker an nounced his committee appointments and they were received with varying degrees of satisfaction.
 the leather schedule of the tariff bill was adopted without a dissenting vote. The MCCUmber- McLauren res olution revising the drawback pro- vision and placing cotton bagging on the free list previously adopted by the senate had no such luck.

THE HAWAIIAN STRIKE

The Leaders Had Lost Control of Their Discouraged Followers.

Honolulu, Aug. 5.-The strike of more than 5000 Japanese plantation laborer which has been in progress for two months and caused much loss to the planters in the islands, was declared off today by the HiS Ter Wage Association, the organization of the strikers. The attitude of the planters in firmly refusing to make any concessions and in rejecting all overtures for a compromise settlement and the energetic action Of the terri torial authorities in prosecuting the leaders upon charges of conspiracy for alleged threats of violence and acts of intimidation brought about com plete collapse of the strike.
 Finding they were rapidly losing control of their discouraged followers. the strike leaders called meeting of the Higher Wage Association today and by a formal vote, declared the strike off

But so long as am not sure of the real murderer l cannot state the theory on which l am work ing can osly say that I,believc 1t to ' be correct and in any case a quite nat ural and simple one.

 Saying which, the young reporter in- vited me to go and make the tour of the chateau with him. The only sound to be heard was the crunchlng of the 
 dead leaves beneath our feet. The si- lence was so intense that one might have thought the chateau had been abandoned The old stones, the stag ! nant water of the ditch surrounding the donjon. the bleak ground strewn with the dead leaves, the dark, skele- ton-like outlines of the trees-all con tributed to give to the dcsolate place, now filled with It's awful mystery, an aspect the most funereal As we pass ed round the donjon we met the Green Man, the forest keeper. who did not greet us, but walked by as if we had not existed.

Who. keep asking myself night and day. is the man who so strongly resembles N. Robert Darzac and who is also known to have bought the cane which has fallen into Lar sans handsf
 "The most serious fact is that M. Darzac was at the very same time that his double presented himself at 1 the postofiice down for a lecture at the Sorbonne He had not delivered that lecture, and one of his friends took his place When I questioned him as to how he had employed the time he told me that he had gone for stroll In the Bois de Boulogne. What do you think of a professor who instead of giving his lecture obtains substitute to go for a stroll in the Bois de Boulogne? | When Frederic Iarsan asked him for information on this point he quietly replied that it was no business of his how he spent his time in Paris. on which Fred swore aloud that he would find out without anybody's help.
 "All this seems to fit in with Fred's hypothesis namely. that NJ. Stanger. son allowed the murderer to escape in order to avoid scandal. The hypothe- sis Is further substantiate by the fact that Darzac was in the yellow room and was permitted to get away. That hypothesis I believe to be false one. Larsan is being misled by 1t. though that would not displease me did 1t not affect an innocent person. Now, does that hypothesis really mislead Frederic Larsan? That is the question-that is the question"
 Perhaps he is right" cried. inter- rupting Rouietabille. Are you sure that NJ. DarZac IS lnnOceutg lt seelun to me that these are extraordinary coin cidences"-
 "Coincidences." replied my friend, "are the worst enemies to truth"
 What does the examining magis- trate think now of the matterT
 M de Marquet hesitates to accuse NJ. Darzac in the absence of absolute proofs Not only would he have public opinion wholly against him. to say nothing of the Sorbonne. but NJ. and Mile Stangerson. She adores NJ. Rob- ert Darzac fndistinctiy as she saw the murderer. it would be hard to make the public believe that she could not have recognized him if Darzac had been the criminal No doubt the vel low room was very dimly 1t, but a night light. however small. gives some light. Here. my boy. is how things stood when three days. or, rather. three nights. ago an extraordinarily strange incident occurred"
