London Strike Near End.

London, June ll:-There is general
belief that the middle of the week will
see the resumption of work by the dock
strikers, 10000 of whom held demon
stration at Tower hill Sunday. The lead
ers in their speeches declared it was their
opinion that the employers at yester-
days conference would acquiesce in the
government proposals. In the event Of
their failing, however, national strike
would inevitably be called 1t is under
stood that should the employers still re-
fuse to yield, the government win forth
with introduce a bill in Parliament look
ing to the establishment of a joint board
of arbitration.

New Type Of Oil.

The oil from the large well recently
drilled by the Myles Mineral Co. at Pine
Prairie, La, is remarkable, according to
an analysis made by the United States
geological survey, in that it contains
no asphalt, gasoline, or paraffin wax.
The crude product contains very large
percentage of illuminating oil. In COM
position the oil stands about halfway
between the oil of the Gulf field and
that of the Caddo field.
The well has been connected with
pipe lines and loading rack on the Rock
Island railroad, from which shipments
are now being made. Eight other wells
are in process of drilling.

DESIGNER SAYS
TITANIC BOATS
WERE TOO FEW
A. M. Carlisle Testifies That His Plans
For Larger Number Were
Rejected.

London, June ll.--Asserting that he
had planned and urged more lfeboats
for the liner Titanic, A. NJ Carlisle, de-
signer Of the lost liner, yesterday gave
damaging testimony at the Board of
Trade inquiry.
! He asserted that he firmly believed
that the number of lifeboats was in
sufficient and repeatedly said so before
the ship was put in commission. He as
serted that he submitted plans for more
lfeboat davits, but that they were re-
jeeted.
Carlisle said that he submitted these
plans, with his arguments, several times
when Managing Director Ismay and Di-
rector Sanderson were present at the
conferences.

NATIONS TAKING
UP MARATHON|NG
Running Game on Boom In This
Country as Well as Elsewhere.
THREE EVENTS AT OLYMpIAD.
Tho Marathon, 10000 and 5000 Meter
Events Programmed For the Games
to Be Held In Stockholm, Sweden,
1872 Summer.

SUMMER
Distance running Is on the boom in
America wherever athletics are foster
ed. Moreover, it is on the boom in
practically every country in the world
France, Germany, England, Egypt,
Austria, Hungary. Sweden, Greece,
Italy and even japan are all "in the
game" doing their best to develop
runners who can negotiate several
miles in world beating time.
For In the Olympic games at Stock
holm E>>$+sS, summer there are three long
distance races programed-5,000 me-
tiers, 10000 meters and the Marathon.
1t is the first of the modern Olympiads
with more than two long races.
If any one nation could annex all
three of these events, thereby adding
fifteen points to its score, 1t would be
greatly advanced toward capturing the
team trophy. The United States is
generally considered superior to any of
the other countries In track and field
athletics as a result of the triumphs
in recent Olympiads, but there is
possibility of surprise being sprung
by any one of three or four OF the
rival teams. 1t is a practical certainty
that Uncle Sans men will not win a
majority of the points, as in the past,
even though they get plurality Of the
points and win the big prize.
England. for one, is waking up ath.
letically. For some time past it had
appeared that the supremacy of Great
Britain in the long distance events was
due to become a thing of vague and
remote memories, but England is com
ing back.
England's Olympic tryouts are set
for May IS at Stamford Bridge. f. w.
Parker, coach of the London Athletic
club, has volunteered his services to
every man on the island who thinks he
can learn to run distances. Parker is
one of the most capable distance run
ming authorities in England and has
exhibited an ability to impart his
knowledge to the few men with whom
he was experimental. notably Lieuten-
ant Halswell, who astounded the world
by his great quarter mile running sew
eral years ago, and w. Scott of the |
Broughton Harriers, who became one
OF the best In the world over the four

mile route. Already over half hun.
bred youngsters have sent Parker their
names as being ambitious to go over
the longer course In the Olympic runs.
In France interest in the distance
game is also growing to national pro-
portions. The Frenchmen have turned
out man who is capable of running
any athlete In the world off his feet at
FIVE and ten miles in the person Of Jean
Bouin. This fellow has smashed two
worlds records-the one hour and the
half hour run. In each he averaged
close to FIVE minutes per mile.
From present indications Bouin is
the man the Americans will have to
beat TO get away with a victory In the
5000 and 10000 meter runs. Bouin has
announced his intention of running
both these races at Stockholm. The
1000 meters is a little over three miles
and the 10000 is about six miles.
As for the Marathon run, there is ire
mendous interest abroad-more prob.
ably, than is being shown Just now in
this country. The Swedes have set
their hearts on winning this event, as
have also the Greeks. England and
Germany likewise are developing men
for the nerve racking test, which win
be almost a man killer under the new
rules. which prohibits a man having
an attendant or getting nourishment
llong the way.

Within the next two or three weeks is the time to plant sweet peas. Best results are gained from having the rows run east and west, and where they can get the full sunshine. Do not plant inferior seed. Buy seed quantities not by the package.
 How about the schools competing with each other this spring in seeing which can have the most beautiful flowers?
 In the cause of good sanitation, please do not throw your tin cans in the yards and alleys. Hang tow sack convenient drop each can in it as emptied and when filled have it haul. ed off.
 Speaking of alleys, we hear that dead cats, dead chickens, etc., have been found in alleys in the residence part of the city. That carelessness endangers our lives. They can cas- fly be buried.
