Fighting Was Desperate

The Dattle llne extended from the Carpathian mountains near Gorlice to the city of Tarnow, which is now the line of the Russian positions. The fighting was desperate. The Rus- sians. realizing the importance of holding the line, made repeated efforts to recover the trenches they lost, but were slaughtered by thousands.
 Russian Offensive Checked.
 The defeat of the czar's troops means a checking of his offensive in the Carpathian mountains and stops all military operations west of Prze. mysl. as the Russian left is endan. gered by the strong Austro- German forces recently concentrated at the Carpathian passes, while the right is now threatened by the victorious army.

MINORS. PRESENTS PETITION
TO THIS EFFECT.

Ed. Halen, a saloon man, doing
business at the corner of Palafox and
Main streets, who one day last week
was fined the sum of 500 for selling
liquors to minors, yesterday presented
request to the board of commission
ers for remittance of the said fine.
The commissioners decided to take
the matter under consideration, and
to investigate the matter.
Hahn, it will be remembered, was
pointed out as the proprietor of a
saloon at which several young sea-
men had had 10 trouble in getting
intoxicants, and while under the in
f1uence of intoxicants, said to have
been obtained at the said saloon, one
of the sailors was arrested. After
being in the city Jail but a short time
he committed suicide by hanging him.

followed, connected Halin's place with
having furnished liquor to the minors
the proprietor was arrested, and un-
der section 382 of the city code, he
was fined 800. This is the fine he
wishes RENTED.

PAY ALLOWED COPS
WHO FAILED To SIGN
FOUR MEMBERS OF POLICE DE-
PARTMENT WHO FORGOT TO
SIGN PAYROLL HAD THEIR
DAYS PAY RESTORED.

Commissioners were called upon
yesterday to pay four members of
the police department for one day
each for their having failed to sign
the daily pay sheet, for days they
had worked. Frank x. Carroll, who
is down as license Inspector; and OFF,
GERS Hoffman, Brewton and Mcclure
were the others affected. They had
each failed to attach their names as
required, and although they were
known to have worked on the days
they claimed, they were not put on
the payroll by the chief, and as con-
sequence, their checks were each a
day short last week.
All of them got together, however,
in a petition to the commissioners,
and although individual petitions were
read, they had all the same purport
and each claim was allowed.
It appeared the officers had beer
working on what is known as watch
No. 2, and that watch ends at mid
night. In their haste to get home
and at times to catch car home, the
fact that they had not signed, es.
capped their attention until it was 81

checks were received.

While this CONFORMATION prevails,

The autunnal equinox this year is
exceedingly sinister in its indica-
tons. When it comes on the twenty
fourth the signs presage variable
weather, earthquake shocks and land
troubles, especially in California.
This year storms may be unusually
destructive and floods may occur in
the eastern states.
Ireland has sinister omen, which

 As capital was diminished and saw ings discouraged by taxation. interest rose and to some extent recouped the saving classes. As the supply of gold is still more than ample. the rise of prices will only receive a temporary check at the peace, due to the reopening of the accustomed trade routes and the rise in interest would for that reason alone con tinue. The enormous loans necessary to finance the war will further increase the rise, but there is nothing in thIs rise to check the development Of busI- ness.

the United States can obtain raw silk and tea in China.
 William P. Malburn, assistant secretary of the treasury, advocated the develop
 ment of trade with the countries of Latin America.
 'The best field for our foreign trade is with the 50,0o0,0oO people of South America he said. But we must send to them goods they want and not goods we want to sell them. Practically all of our sales in South America today are the result of natural demand which cannot be supplied from any other country MT. Malburn declared that the busi- ness situation was improving and denied the tariff had ever been the cause of the falling off in treasury revenues. Collegiate instruction in branches de- signed to equip men for the diplomatic and consular service was proposed by
 Prof. G. L. Swiggett of the University of Tennessee.
 Recently federal measures involving | the reorganization of our consular and diplomatic service and the appointment of commercial experts as foreign service agents in the department of commerce, the appointment of federal commissions of various kinds, the enactment of cur l rency and trade laws make it necessary that educational training be- established | to better prepare men for the foreign trade,"' the speaker asserted.
