THINGS MOVE. (Continued from page L) dent that no violence would be attempt ed today 200 police were detailed to guard the stock yards. Hundreds of strikers, laughing and joking, were in line at various points during the day to receive their pay. No attempt to an noy the men at work was made by the strikers. Libbey. McNeill I.ibbey secured a sufficient number of non-union girls to resume operations in the canning de partment. Reports of the firm said that many of the girls who went out, yes terday had returned. By noon every packing house in the stock yards claimed to have men at work. Unemployed men in considerable numbers flocked to the stock yards and all applicants appearing competent were at once hired and put at work. With a seeming certainty of a meat famine, should the strike last more than a week, both the packers and the strike leaders took a serious view of the situation, today. Each side thought fully •onsidered the arbitration chan nel of escape from the entanglements. Indeed, predictions were ventured that an armistice might be arranged within 24 hours. President Donnelly, of the Butcher Workmen’s Union, expressed regret that the packers’ offer to arbitrate had not been made earlier, when the strike might have been averted. "The delay of the packers to agree to arbitration,” he said, “Is responsi ble for the strike. They did not make known their position until after the unions had declared the strike and then it was too late for nie io do any thing to stop tlie trouble. It will be in I expensive war, but apparently it will have to he fought out. We are strong— stronger than the packers, for we have the whole country to draw upon for sustenance and have no dividends to pay. If the parking plants are idle a month it will eat up all their dividends for two years." In spite of expressed hopes for an early adjustment of the difficulties, the i packers hurried preparations for a i siege. Every office employee in the J stock yards was ordered to report an i hour earlier than usual and hurrying through such offli e duties as were ab solutely essential soon found them- I selves at work in the strikers' places. It was claimed by the superintendents of I various plants that there would he lio trouble in supplying all vacancies with- j in a day or two with capable men. Information credited to union sources was to the effect that negro workmen J were being brought to Chicago by the larger packers. Nelson Morris Uo„ it j war said, hail smuggled 350 negro non- l union workers into the yards in covered j wagons. Four independent small pack- ing houses inside the stock yards were reported running. These were Boner t Co.. Roberts Oaks. Boyd I,unborn and Thomas Phorkildsen Un. Eouis F. Swift, president of Swift j Uo., was asked as to the probable effect of the strike upon prices of meats i throughout the country and regarding the stocks on hand. He said: 'I do not expect that there will be any serious scan ity in the supply of meats. Prices will not be materially advanced. In any event the supply of fresh meat throughout the country is sufficient to j last 15 or 20 days and there is enough cured meats—hams, bacon, etc., to last six months." Other packers spoke to practically the same effect. In Chicago Porter House steak had advanced two cents a pound, pol k chops chops 1'3 cents and other meats in pro portion. **d in the packing houses. It was said that in all probability these men will strike. A meeting of tiie Ilrnclimen’s I’nion also was held to discuss the situation. A phase of the strike situation that may prove interesting is the fact that the firm'-- against which the strike i?. di rected and whose output is rippled, held the government and municipal contracts award'd in this vicinity. Should tin strike continue and the supply become limit'd it was said tin* government or ders would take precedence over all oth ers. PRICE OF MEAT. It Will Soar, According to Dcarlers at Boston. Boston, July 13.—Now England two vision interests arc making prepara tions to meet a shortage or western beef as a result of the strike. In this city href dealers are making arrange ments for the slaughter of thousands of cattle in the ahhatoirs near the city. Beef will he brought from all parts of New England. N-'w York and nearby he made to offset the decrease from the j west. The meat market was short be- fore the strike was nailed, according to the meat ex]>orters of Boston. This fact makes the situation more serious J than it would otherwise be. The price r.f meat willd soar, accord ing to Rost on dealers. The wholesale price has already advanced front $3 to $3 a hundred weight according to the I grade. The retail prices were .advanced one cent a pound, Wednesday, ami will he advanced two and three next day, I dealers say, unless the strike is set- J tied. l One of the large firms involved in the iTiicago strike operates a big pack-j ing house in Eastern Maine for the, export trade and it is understood the output will be turned into the domestic market. AT CLEVELAND.

About a Week's Supply of Fresh Meat on Hand. Cleveland. Ohio. July 13.—George Tt. 1 Finkett. local manager for Armour Co., said, today, that there was about a week's supply of fresh meat In Cleve land. His advices, today, from Chicago, were that there is a strong probability of many strikers returning to work before close of present week. OMAHA PACKING HOUSES. But Little Work Now Being Done There. Omaha. Neb., July 13.—There was no disorder, today, because of the strike of packing house employes. There was practically no receipts at stock yards and little work was being done at the packing houses. The closing of the packing houses has thrown out of em ployment many railroad men, stock yard employes and others whose em ployment depended on the packing house business. A few cattle were slaughtered, today, at Swift’s, Armour's and the Omaha Packing Co’s, plant, but Cudahy made no attempt to start any department. Men in other departments, including the mechanical and engineering to the number of nearly 1500 joined the strik ers, today, making a total of 5500 men who are out at South Omaha. There was little friction, today, and none of tile strikers went near the packing houses. A few non-union men on the way to a packing house to apply for positions, met a number of strikers. A non-union man, Louis Uodestine, was struck several times and all the non-union men were forced to return to Omaha. A wagon load of cots which was e:i route to one of the packing houses was turned back by the strikers. Fresh beef advanced $3 a hundred, today. AT PHILADELPHIA. Advance from One to Two Cents Per Pound. Philadelphia, July 13.— As a result if the butchers strike there has been an idvanee of from one to two cents a pound in the wholesale price of meats in this city. laical representatives of Swift Co., tnd tlie Armours purchased consider able meat at the West Philadelphia ihhattoir, today, paying an advance of me cent a pound. There is little ap prehension of a strike here. FILL STRIKERS' PLACES. Men at Binghampton, N. Y., Offered Good Pay. Kinghamton, N. V..

A representative of a wholesale house dated that Portland is seriously a tie.-ted y th«- strike. The advauee iu'llu prie »f beef will tend to decrease the con umption by the pooter class* s. It was hi opinion that with only a small supply »n hand and a limit t*» which the price nay he raised, an early settlement will ic obligatory on the pail of the packers. DIES FROM INJURIES. Dscar L.

Poulet's Will Ques tioned at Paris. Paris, July 13.—A remarkable case in which Otorge A. Church of Nayatt I’"in!, H. I., is tie- central figure, is being heard by the Iriliunal of th" Seine. M. Pouloot, a wealthy Parisian capitalist, disappeared II years years ago during a voyage around the world, lit left *3(10,0011 in French bonds. After wailing tile statutory period his heirs asked for a division of the estate. Thereafter a will was filed, dated at Sim-Than-fSIia, Island of Java. In which M. Potilot gave his entire estate to tJoorge A. Church. Counsel for the heirs sought to create the impression that this was another case of mythical Crawfords, as in the Humbert case, while conn del 4br Mr. Chureh main tained that/ his client actually exists, being a retired New England merchant who recently sailed from New York for Europe. There upon the court asked that Mr. Shun h be presented to the court and adjourned the ease until, Fri day, to permit the presentation or the production of other proofs of his identi ty. The genuineness of a large legaeg ap pears to hie unquestionable hut the case is bitterly^contested, mainly because of suspicious growing out of the ficti tious American heirs in the Humbert case. t Warren, T., July 13.—George A. Church who] has been called upon to defend h>s .title to certain property in French eoiirtK formerly was a resident of Nay.itt Point, a fashionable district on upper Nafragansett Pay. Several years after the death of his mother and sister with whom he lived, he re moved to New York. He is about 55 years of lire and i bachelor. James nilinghast. a lawyer of Provi dence and a cousin of Mr. Church. now occupies the estate where his relative former!v lived. Mr. Tillinghast said, today, that he could give no informa- tion about the case in which Mr. Church is involved as he knew nothing definite about it. Mr. Church sailed for Kurope a few months ago.

When the St. Petersburg passed through the straits she h.'iii no guns mounted. What probably happened af ter her leaving Turkish waters was that guns were tala-n from the hold and placed in position in prepared em placements. The Japanese legation says Japen has not brought the case of the St. Peters burg before the British and Turkish governments. A delicate question is raised as a result of the operations of that vessel in the opinion*of the lega tion but no alarm is felt over the re sults of the cruising of an isolated ship in tlie Pacific as it is not believed that she can do much harm to Japanese shipping and even if she joins tile Vladivostok squadron the St. Peters burg will add but little to the strength of Vice Admiral Skrydloff. THEY BELIEVE IT. St. Petersburg Hopes That Japs Have Been Whipped. St. Petersburg. July 1.1.—A special dispute'll received from Mukden, to night. dated July 1- repeats the story of a Japanese repulse at Port Arthur with the loss of Jii.drtft. The dispateh sa vs: "N’nvs has 1« ell received from re liable sources that the Japanese third army on the nk.'ht of July li attacked Port Arthur and was heavily defeated, an immense number living killed hy Russian mines. The total loss is atiout tltirly thousand.” There was jrre.it anxiety throughout St. Petersburg till this evening for fur ther details of tie* reported disaster. It has developed that the otlieial report with h was at first supposed to emanate direetly from i. etoy Alexieff. was not sjieeitieall.v fathered by him. but was given out as a report reaching ids headquarters from “Japanese sources.” What these sources are hits not yet I.. explained. Possibly the report was inteiu ept* d hy wireless telegraphy, hut it is more likely that it eaino from the Kussian consul at file Poo or the Rus sian consul at Tien Tsin. A full report on the subject from Lieut. Cin. St .vessel, commander of the military forces at Port Arthur, is awaited with the greatest interest. SHIPS AID ARMY. Of Great Assistance in Defence of Port Arthur. St. Petersburg, July 13.—12.32 P. M.— The admiralty believes that Rear Ad miral Wilhoeft’s squadron is rendering elfeetive aid in tli defense of Port Ar thur, Ivy going out and shelling the Jap anese, who are maintaining batteries near the eastern approaches of the fortress. Tim expedition of Saturday is believed to have been of this nature. The bringing np of siege guns to an effective range, can thus he materially retarded. This probably is the reason the squadron has not yet left Port Ar thur and it is not likely to do so un less till fall of the fortress becomes In evitable. The admiralty considers that the nav al situation has greatly improved and sees evidence of the Japanese fleet showing signs of exhaustion. The ofil eials here think that Admiral Togo with the knowledge that he will have to light without the co-operation of the army in storming Port Arthur, has be come extremely cautious about risking his ships and 'hat at present he will cnly undertake operations of secondary importance, like a pursuit of the Vladi vostok squadron and co-operation with land forces at New f'liwang.

St. Petersburg, July 13.—Emperor William’s message of good wishes to the VVilborg Regiment is attracting much less attention here than at other capitals. The Nove Vremya says: "Europe is, indeed, hungry for a sen sation. The message was to a regiment of which Emperor William is honorary colonel and they find therein possibility of a breach of neutrality." The paper considers it much ado about nothing. The Rourse Gazette, a pro-German paper, is the only one which interprets tlie message as evidence of German "friendly neutrality," declaring it to be a guarantee that Emperor William nev er will attempt to offer mediation, add ing that a monarch so proud'of a regi ment bearing liis name in fighting for tlie honor of its .country, never will thus affront Russia. FAILURE OF CROPS. Creating Some Uneasiness in Some farts of Russia. St. Petersburg.

“I’M FOR YE” Is Would-be Dramatic Utterance of Bryan In Announcing that He’ll Vote for Parker and Davis. He Issues Long Statement, in Attempt to Keep His Name Before and Him self Solid With His Former Ad mirers. Lincoln, Ni b., July 13.—W. J. Bryan, has given out the following statement: merit: "I shall vote for Parker and Davis, the nominees of the Democratic nation al convention and shall do so for the following reasons: “First—Because the Democratic tick et stands for opposition to imperial ism, while the Uepublican ticket stands for an imperialistic policy.. On this question, which was the paramount is sue In 1900, anil which must remain an important issue so long as an attempt is made to hold colonies under the American flag—on this issue the con vention was unanimous, the platform emphatic, and X have no doubt that the candidate will carry out the platform. "Second—Mr. Roosevelt is injecting the race question into American poli tics and this issue, if it becomes nation al, will make It impossible to consider economic questions that demand solu tion. The election of the Democratic ticket will put a quietus upon this at tempt and permit the race question to work itself oui without the bitterness which Mr. Roosevelt's conduct has en gendered. “Third—Mr. Roosevelt stands for the spirit of war. His friends present him as a man of blood and iron, e believes in strenuousness and inculcates a love for war-like things. The Democratic ticket stands for peace, for reason and for arbitration rather than for force, conquest and bluster. “Fourth—The Democratic platform declares in favor of the reduction of the standing i.rray, and as this plank was unanimously adopted there is rea son to believe that a Democratic suc cess on this subject will bring some ad vantage to the people. "For these four reasons I feel justi fied In supporting the ticket, but I shall not misrepresent the situation or ap peal for votes for the ticket upon false grounds. A Democratic victory will mean very little, if nay progress on economic questions so long as the party is under the control of the Wall street element. On the money question, Mr. Parker is as thoroughly committed to tlie other side of the financiers as is Mr. Roosevelt, if he does not go as far as th> Republicans would in retiring silver dollars, in establishing branch banks, in enlarging the powers of the national hanks, and in the substitution of an as set currency for the present currency, it will be because he is restrained by the Demoerats in the House and Senate. Nothing good can lie expected of him on the money question. “On the trust question the Democrat ic platform is very much better than the Republican platform, but the nomi nation of Judge Parker virtually nulli fies tiie anti-trust plank. Unless in liis letter of acceptance, he commits himself to attempt anti-trust legislation, we need not expect him to pursue a diflfer enr course from that pursued by Presi dent Roosevelt. "So far as the labor questions are. concerned we must await Judge Par ker's letter before we shall know whether the tailoring man has anything to expect from his election. The labor plank as prepared by Judge Parker's friends on the suh-eonimittee was a st.addling, meaningless plank. In the full committee planks were adopted in favor of arbitration, the eight-hour day and against government by Injunction; also a plank on the Colorado situation, if Judge Parker is silent or ambiguous on these subjects it will mean that the financial influence hack of him, will not permit him to take the labor side of these disputed questions. "On tht' tariff question some little progress may be hoped for, but the Par ker men on the committee were neces sarily in favor of a very conservative tariff plank and it remains to bee seen whether Judge Parker will carry out the positive and definite plank which was submitted by the full committee. This is the situation. "Judge Parker stands for e.nough things that are good to justify me in giving him my vote, hut as I have tried to point out for several months, tin- triumph of the Wall street element of tlie party denies any hope of relief on economic questions. I have nothing to take back. I have nothing to with draw of the thing I have said against tlie methods pursued to advance his candidacy. It was a plain and deliber ate attempt to deceive the party. The New York platform was vague and imaningless and purposely so because tin- advocates of Judge Packer were trying to secure votes from among the people who would have opposed his views had they known them. If he had sent to the Albany convention the tel egram that he sent to the St. Louis con vention he would have had very few instructed delegates from the South, and no possible chance for the nomina tion. Hut he and his managers adroit ly and purposely concealed his position until the delegates had been corralled and the nomination assured. T^en his friends attempted to secure a gold plank, which was overwhelmingly de feated in the committee. After the parly had rejoiced over the harmony secured by the omission of the question and after he had secured the nomina tion, he injected his views upon the subject at a time when he could not he taken from the ticket, without great secured, therefore, by crooked and in defeneible methods, but the Democrat who loves his country has to make his decision upon conditions as he finds them, not upon conditions as he would like to have them. “After having stated that I shall sup port the ticket and after having given my reasons for so doing, I think it due to the Democrats of the nation to say that while the fight on economic ques tions is postponed. It is not abandoned. As soon as the election is over I shall, Y T F7 9 No wonder. Your Hair Escaping c leaves you. Then you can keep what you have and add greatly to it. Ayer’s Hair Vigor is a hair-food. mSSl* with tho help of those who believe as I do, undertake to organize for the cam paign of 190s, the object being to mar shal the friends of popular government within the Democratic party to the sup port of a radical and progressive pol icy to make the Democratic party an efficient means in the hand of the peo ple for securing relief from the plu tocratic element that controls the Re publican party and for the time being is in control of the Democratic party. This plan of organization will be elab orated soon.” LAUNCHING AT BATH. Four-Masted Schooner William J. Quil lin Goes Overboard. Rath, Me.. July 13.—The four-masted schooner William,J. Quillin, named in honor of a brother of the commander and managing owner, Capt. Rowland F. Quillin of Bethel, Delaware, was launched, Tuesday, from the yard of the New England Shipbuilding Co. She was christened by Rowland E., the 12-year-old son of Capt. Quillin. She will be ready for sea the last of this week and has a charter to load lumber at St. Mary's for New York. Her carrying capacity is COO,000 of lum-v her or 1200 tons of coal. The measure ments are: Length, 17C.7 feet; breadth, 37.4 feet; depth of hold, 13.8; and the gross tonnage, 69.7.09. The Times says: “She is handsome as a yacht" Wjis the remark of a retired ship master, this morning, as he care fully looked over the lines of the now four-masted schooner William J. Quil lin at the New England yard just be fore the craft took her initial run into the waters of the Kennebec. The vete ran’s remark was tin* sentiment of the large audience present. The vessel did certainly present a pretty picture with her glistening coat of green and white paint with the stripe of red near the top, the whole set off by the galvan ized Iron work; and the tall masts tow ering in the air a hundred feet above the deck decorated with a beautiful set of colors. The Quillin was christened by How land E. Quillin of Hethel, Delaware, twelve year old son of Howland F. Quillin, who is going in command of the craft. He used a bottle of spark ling champagne and did his duty well. The vessel made a slide from her cradle as straight as an arrow from a bow, amid the cheers from the party of guests on board anil the spectators on shore. The whistles in the neighbor hood and on the craft in the harbor gave her a noisy salute. The Quillin is the 310th craft launch ed by the New England Co., and she is considered by those who know about sailing vessels to be the peer of her class in every particular. Her dimen sions are: length. 17G.7; breadth, 37.4; depth, 13.S; gross tonnage, 693.09. She will have a carrying capacity of 600 M lumber or 1200 tons of coal. She is a single decked vessel and was built expressly for the general coastwise trade. Loaded she will draw 16 feet. She has a hard wood bottom, hark t'op thoroughly fastened ami built upon honor by a crew of expert mechanics in every department. She is one of F. W. Hideout’s models and the combina tion for speed and carrying is one of the best. The masts are Oregon pine, 92 feet long, the fore is 26 and the others 23 inches In diameter. The rigging is wire set up with turn buckles. The spread of canvas 'will be 3000 yeards. There are two anchors, one a stockless of 4000 pounds, the other a stock of 3200 pounds. The chain is 200 fathoms, 1% inches in diameter. She has a complete Hyde Windlass Co. outfit. All iron work about the deck is galvanized. She has two boats, a 22-footer fitted with a gasoline en gine of 3>A horsepower and a 16-fnot small boat. The sails of the Quillin were made by W. H. Maguire of Baltimore. The cabin arrangements are most commodious and comfortable and fin ished in polished woods as pretty as an up-to-date steam yacht. The after cab in Is finished in hirds-eye maple and maple with gold trimmings. The cap tain’s room is in white wood with pure white ceiling. There are two spare state rooms. The furniture is oak and plush. The bath room contains all the latest furnishings. The forward eabin contains the state rooms for the mate, steward and engineer and a well-ar ranged pantry finished in quartered (lilK. I Il»* ill'" ii.ii*! H'nni, in' cabin Is healed with hot water system. The Qnillin Is rated A1 for 15 years in American Bureau of Shipping. Boland F. Quillan of Bethel, Del.. is commander and managing owner of the new craft. He has been overseeing her construction from the time the keel was stretched and he Is satisfied that she is as good a wooden vessel as there is afloat. He is delighted with her. Capt. Qnillin has been following the sea for the past 15 years. For four years he was in command of the Edgar Boss, a New England Co. built vessel, of which he is also managing owner. The Quillin hails from Bethel, Del., and is named in honor of Capt. Quillin's brother, \V. J. Quillin of the schooner Sally C. Marvil, who had the Edgar C. Boss when she was new. The Qnillin is owned principally in Bethel and in Haiti more. She will he ready for sea th«* last of this week and is chartered to load piling in St. Mary’s river for New York. She will go out light. When she leaves the Kennebec she will represent $44,ww capital. The master workmen on the Qnillin who are satisfied to have the craft go forth as a specimen of the work done in the Snipping City were: Master builder. Ho ratio I„. Douglas; joiner. F. H. Haggett; fastener. George Eight body; blacksmith. Hiram R. Fat tee; painter, A. C. Morse; rigger. Capt. Robert Goodman; dubbei, John McDongall; calkers, Tibbetts Ol iver; spar makers. Parris Bros. Capt. and Mrs. Qnillin. assisted by their daughter. Miss Krmina. entertained a large launching party on board and they dispensed Southern hospitality in a man ner which was most happily enjoyed by their guests. Among the guests from nut of town were Capt. W. J. Quiliin of Bethel. S. B. Marts. Jr., of the firm of S B. Marts Co. of Baltimore, and J. J. Callawav of Eaurel, all owners in the new craft. They were enthusiastic over the vessel and the launching. The firm of Marts Co. has a fleet of ‘JO vessels. Mr. Marts paid a high compliment to the New England Co. He said the Edgar C Boss, built by them 16 years ago, is today in first-class condition in every way. WILLIE BLACK GONE. Escape of Inmate of the County Jail at Portland. William Black, a frequent inmate of the county jail, chiefly on the charge of Intoxication, skipped from the stable of the institution, Monday afternoon, about 4 o’clock, and hasn’t been brought back yet. It is thought that he was accompanied in his flight by his pal, Tom Sears, and the police ami sheriff and deputy sheriffs don’t care if they never come back. Black has been in the invalid corps of late. Therefore his duties have been light and frivolous. While lie was feel ing reasonably strong on Monday, it was thought prudent to send him over to the stable and set him to work fill ing matresses. lie hadn’t been at work long when he made an excuse to leave the room a minute. lie forgot to re turn. Deputy Sheriff Delano was a bit sus picious and stepped out to look for the man. He found that Black had donned some rough garments that were lying in the stable and had “scooted.” The alarm was given and the chase began. Black had dropped down from the fence to the free and untrammeled lib erty of the street and he lost no time in hiking across the smooth footing which leads to East Decring tnd the (•rand Trunk yards and sheds. That was the direction he took and with hut three or four minutes’ start, he eluded his pursuers. The officers of the sheriff's department went out as soon as they could he noti fied and they kept up the hunt until well into the nigiit. Telephone messages were sent in various directions and it is not unlikely that the straggler fugitive may lie picked up or that lie may return after lie has tasted the sweets of liberty. Two men were reported on the eastern railroad track in the early morning, ii'-itd ed for Searboro and other points to the westward, but the best efforts to stop then*, were unavailing. It is thought that they were iHack and his particular crony, Tom Sears. Black has been in jail, "off and on," very frequently in the past years. He Is what is known as an "old timer" ami has done dozens of sentences. While the officers don't like to have a man who has become a part of 'the institution hasten away without saying “goodliy. they are really hoping that Black will lind another vine and tig tree which shall be mutually more satisfactory to him and to them. —Portland Advertiser. watortown ana Brighton Liv* Stool* Market.

Ray, who, it was alleged by creditors of Daniel J. Sully, was a partner of Sully, was before Referee McGrane Coxe, to day, for examination in the hearing in bankruptcy of the cotton brokerage firm of D. J. Sully Co. Mr. Sully was present when the hearing opened. Mr. Ray’s counsel asked that the ex amination of Mr. Ray be put over un til after next Monday, when a report is to be made as to a compromise be tween Mr. Sully and the creditors. Counsel for the trustees of the Sully firm urged that the hearing proceed which was done. In response to questions from Mr. Boothhy of counsel for the trustees, Mr. Ray saiil he was vice president of half a dozen affiliated tobacco companies and has known Mr. Sully more than a year. He was at Mr. Sully’s office but twice and with Davis Hawley, e could not remember the office address. Mr. Ray said he had transactions with D. J. Stilly Co., the firm buying and selling cotton futures for him. He communicated with the firm by tele phone, but never in writing, and met Mr. Sully at the Waldorf in the cafe between 4 and fi P. M. Mr. Ray said he frequently met Mr. Sully in Mr. Haw ley's apartments. Mr. Ray said that he gave orders some times at these meetings but always speci fied how much to buy or sell. lie pro duced, at Mr. Boothby's request, the statements of the business done, sent to him by Sully Co. Taking up some of the statements, Mr. Boothliy said: ”1 notice that this statement shows that on March S. 2.7.IWI0 bales of cotton were bought for ’joint account of F. II. Ray and Daniel J. Sully.' What does that mean?” "That was the way he kept his hooks, but it was wrong,” replied Mr. Ray. He knew Mr. Sully kept tlie account that way but did r.ot object, lie said he had been dabbling in co-lton futures from the ex changes about four years. It was not until after the failure that the state ment sent to him showed it was for "joint account.” Two or throe statements of his transactions with Mr. Solly’s firm he sftld, had never reached him. ’lie had asked over the telephone for a statement to show what cotton had been bought and sold for his account, lie had never received a cluck for Ids share in the ■transaction. The hearing was adjourned until July 22 RAISE BATTLESIP MAINE. New Orleans Man Has Made Contract With Cuba. Washington, July 13.—R. H. F.

The dead bodies of George F. Ab bott, an aged junk dealer and his as sistant, Frederick Von Buskirk, were found, Tuesday, in Abbott’s junk shop in Cliapel alley, Brooklyn, by firemen called to put out a fire supposed to have been of incendiary origin. The men were evidently murdered, each having a bullet hole in the left tem ple. The police have arrested Charles Victor Johnson, 27 years old, and Oscar Dahlgren, 2S years old, both of Brook lyn, on suspicion of having knowledge of the crime. Abbott had been beat en on tbe head, and he had been tied hand and foot and around the throat with a rope. In one of Van Buskirk's hands was a revolver with two empty chambers, which the police believe was placed there by the murderer or mur derers. Abbott was accustomed to carry considerable money about him and this fact was well known in the neighborhood. It is believed from the condition of the bodies that the men were killed.

The grand jury of Burlington coun ty. New Jersey, has returned three in dictments against Aaton Timbers, Jon as Sims and William Austin, one for felonious assault upon Mrs. Elsie Bid dle, one for assault with intent to kill and one for breaking and entering the residence of Thomas Strieker. For these three offences tlie maximum pen alty is 411 years.

YOU ^LSOM’rMts Destruction of Building by Dynamite. Lincoln, Mo., July IS.—Considerable excitement has been caused in town during the past few days by an anony mous letter which was received, Mon day, by one of the most prominent families in town, warning them to va cate the premises, as it was about to be blown up by dynamite. The building is a large, tow-story wooden building owned by E. A. Pinkham, who occupies a part of it as a general store, while the other part is occupied by a store by Mr. Pinkham, the upper part being used as a tene ment. E. A. Pinkham's mill at North Lin coln was set on fire one day last week, and but for the prompt action of the watchman would have been consumed. 1 It is alleged that the mill had been saturated with oil in seven different 1 places. One Saturday night during the night i a rock was thrown through the win- dow into Mr. Pinkham's bedroom. On Monday a letter was received by the occupants of the rent over Mr. Pinkham's storp, warning them to leave the premises at once, as it would be dynamited one of these nights. The 1 letter was printed with a lead peneil and had been mailed here in town and addressed to the lady of the house. It is also understood thrtt Mr. Pinkham has received a letter of warning, but he has nothing to say on the subject. Mr. Pinkham is a well-known and respected business man here, being noted lor his fair and upright dealings and cannot think who could want to injure his property its well as threaten his life. While Mr. Pinkham is not saying much, he has not been idle and 'Who ever has the audacity to try any dyna miting business will probably meet with a reception that he or they will not forget for many moons.

July 13.—A growth of the speculative forces at work in the stock market was again manifest in today’s lea lings, which rose well above yester lay's total and exceeded the figure of last Wednesday which had made a record on he movement. The market was spotty md irregular throughout. Some of the ecent leaders were reactionary and man festlv hold l ack l»y profit taking. Others which wen subjected to this process in the early dealings developed renewed strength late in the day. Today's market was kept apparently veil in hand throughout and the selling to take profits pending simultaneously with new buying at other quarters.

The Democratic platform dwells up on the “absolute aet|iiieseeme in the will of tie- majority." but it is pointed out lliat tin- Bryan minority succeeded in kicking the money plank out of that self-same platform. II is said that never before have the great political parlies goiir to the same state for their presiddiliaI ramlblnte. With Roosevelt and l’arker hailing from Now Volk, the Kinpire State will more than ever he the storm renter of I lie routing? campaign. III however pleasing eolors his ad mirers draw the pielure oi Judge I’ark er. it is impossible for the observer to eseape noticing that elose beside him, on the one hand, is David it: Hill, while equally close on the other, is August I'.elinont. These two men made pos sible his nomination, and nobody doubts that if he were to be elected, they would constitute the power be hind the throne. They are not a pow ei to whom the American people will are to trust the control of the nation al government. The speed witli which automobiles arc climbing Mt. Washington, tliis summer, demonstrates In the hiost convincing manner the progress which lias iieen made in tlte manufacture of these vehicles. A few years ago. when the ascent was made in it little over two hours, it was hailed as a great accomplishment. Now the machines arc being run to the summit In con siderably less than one-fourth that time, and this shows that the new form of locomotion, which is becoming so popular, is well :t tapted to heavy grades and uncertain roads as well as city streets and park ways. Attention is called to the announce ment of President Soule of the Augusta Hoard of Trade, published in another column, that there will be a meeting of ttie board, Tuesday evening. July 1!*. to consider the Rines Hill crossing matter, if any progress is being made towards the much-needed abolishment of this dangerous crossing, it is so slow that it cannot be observed with the naked eye: and the proposed meeting is for the purpose of Reviving interest and increasing the activity of the par ties directly concerned. There should he a good attendance and a thorough discussion of ways and means. Missing. Billions of Gold. Two or three billions of gold are missing an*l if any reader of the Jour nal has this about his person or has seen it lying around where it was left by some careless individual, the fact should be reported at once. Most of us, having all the gold needed, would never have known of these missing billions, but some prying statisticians have figured out the loss and are seii ously disturbed over it. In 1903 the world’s stock of gold was estimated at *5,383.600.000. In 1873 it was only *1.309,800,000. Here is a gain of more than *4.000.000,000 in thirty years. The Wall Street Journal publishes statis tics showing that the gold production of the world since 1800 lias amounted to $8,903,400,000. In all the preceding years since the discovery' of America by Columbus, the total production is estimated to have been *3.456,800,000. The world’s production of gold since 1873 accounts for all of tjie present stock or gold except about *800,000,000, and that amount is accounted for twice over by the product from 1800 to 1873. Where, then, asks the Journal, has all the gold gone to which was mined be fore i860? Apparently there is no trace of it anywhere unless in the art objects tor which gotu Ttie directors of Hie mint estimate that in 1902 the industrial consump tion of gold amounted to $75,704,400. This was about 25 per cent, of that year's total product. Assuming that this ratio held each year it would ap pear tintt of the total production of gold from 1192 to 1905, amounting to $10,9S5,1X1.000, ttie proportion that went into the arts and industries was $2, 710.295,250. This leaves a balance of $S,238,XX5,750, which should appear, it would seem, in the records of the world's stock of gold. r.ut. as a matter of fact, the total stock of gold in the world on the 1st of January, 1903, was. as has been stated. $5,382,000,000. This leaves $2,856,2X5.750 of which there appears to be no trace. The Wall Street Journal raises the interesting question whether this vast wealth lias been lost during the last tour centuries, or whether any large pioportion is stilt in existence as a sort l hidden reserve which may lie drawn upon in times of special demand. Pro lessor ,1. Laurence Latlgliliu of Chi cago, last year, advanced tlie theory that the immense sum*of gold which seemingly lias disappeared, and which lie estimated at $1,500,000,000, instead of $2,800,000,000 as suggested liy tile foregoing figures is largely held in re st rve “by great financial houses in liu tope. ami by many other private bank ets, the character of whose business tines not require them to make public reports of their specie holdings." If this conjecture is well founded, it is highly important. In any case, it would seem that ttie current estimates of the world's stock of gold must lie considerably increased to conform Lo ttie facts. The Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee. Il is not possible to believe that even in tin midst of the crazy proceedings nt Si. Louis tlie Democrats would have nominated Davis of West Virginia for the vice presidency. if they had entertained any serious idea that their ticket would lie successful at the polls pe\t November. The idea of taking an octogenarian for the office whose chief duty is to stand in readiness to till the place of a higher official who may be removed by death, is nothing less than absurd. If he lives until the fourth of mxt March. Mr. Davis will be VM II into tiis s.’d year, and accord ing to the tables prepared by American insurance companies, the chance would In- three lo one that tie would not live through the four year term ahead. >f course, the chances are much greater than this that he will not be elected. The secret of Mr. Davis' selection is found in the fact that he is a nice, old gentleman, worth somewhere about $2)1,000.000 to $40,000,000 and well dis posed to act as the “angel" for the grand vaudeville show with which Democracy will entertain the country during the next few months. That his nomination will remove West Virginia from the list of Republican states is a subject hardly worth serious considera tion. There could hardly be a more marked contrast than between Mr. Dav is and tlie Republican nominee. Senator Fairbanks. The latter is in the prime of life,’ a member of the I'nited States Senate with the expectation of many years of usefulness: while Mr. Davis is an octogenarian, was a member of the Senate a score of years ago. and a man whose business and political ac tivities are of the past. That he owns an entire railroad system and is a great mining magnate are not elements which will make the ticket more pop ular with the Hearst-Bryan faction, for he is a plutocrat of plutocrats, nom inated solely on account of the size of his barrel. In commenting upon the various “third" parties the other day. we gave a list of the presidential nominees of three of them, the Prohibition, Popu list and Social Labor parties. It seems however, that there are two other "third" parties, the Socialist and the Negro Liberty, both of which have presidential tickets in the field. Debs and Hanford being the nominees of the former and Scott and Payne of the latter. These parties and their candidates are mentioned here merely for the sake of making the record com plete, and not because they will be heard of again. There is still an op portunity for a sixth "third" party to be formed, so that General Miles may get his longed-for opportunity. In the Attic. Fp in the attic where mother goes Is a trunk in a shadowed nook— trunk—and its lid she will oft unclose. As if iwere a precious book. She kneels at its side on the attic boards. And tenderly, softly ami slow. Site counts all the treasures site fondly hoards— Tile things of the long ago. A yellowing dress, once the sheerest white That shimmered in joyous prid> She looks at it now with the girl s de light That was hers when she stood a bride. There is a ribbon of faded blue She keeps with the satin gown; Buckles and lace—ami a little shoe; Sadly she lays that down. Fp in the attic where mother goes Is a trunk in a shadowed place— A trunk—with the scent of a withered rose On the sr.tin and shoe and lace. None of us touches its battered lid. But safe in its niche it stays. Sacred to all that hid* heart has hid Gold of the other days. —Womans late. Dog days seem to have arrived ahead of the schedule. This is the day of a hundred years for the town of Gilead. The Democrats will meet at Water ville. today, to select tiie lamb for the sacrifice. The interest in the summer ball teams is on the increase, but Fairfield and Waterville keep a sale distance apart. For those who suppose that the terms "Pomona" and “county" Grange mean tiie same tiling, it is pointed out that there tire now 23 Pomona Granges in Maine. We hope Senator Beveridge will re main in tiie Maine woods until the campaign opens and then make a few speeches for us before going hack to the West. He is one of the most elo quent speakers in American public life. John W. Powell of Togus. brought into tiie Journal office, yesterday, a curious specimen of tile tiger lily. In stead 0/ .the single blossom that usu ally grows at the end of the sialk, there were no fewer titan 10 perfect buds and blossoms, making a gorgeous bouquet of tiger lilies growing on one stem.

There were 27 schooners launched from Maine yards for the year ending June 1. and there are 27 now in pro cess of construction. More work is being done, this year, than in several seasons in improving Bangor's park system and making tlie pleastire places a credit to tile city. The chief feature, this season, is the work on Broadway park. Contractor Doherty has been working on the west side of ttie park since the contract for tlie work was let out and is fast in mint; completion of tlie work on that side. Tlie work on tlie east side of the park will not be done until next your. Broadway park will lie oil" of the b. iuty spots of the city when the work now laid out is completed. Turf. Farm and Home: This is the Coiinnencemeiit period of the year—in many respects the most important of all tlie year. The most important les sons to he learned are not gathered from the graduates who, taking their diplomas, are starting out on their life labors. While it is interesting to note I many of these young people, and study their advancement from what their parents were hefor them, and also note how the pupils' success lias had an elevating influence upon the older members of the family, and in some instances upon the neighbors, the most interesting study is to watch the re turning graduates of years gone by and see how well they have used the ad vantages gained by the drill at school. It is an interesting study, and one worth enjoying. Here is a man who has just popped into view. He was a born scholar and genius, and graduated at the head of his class. He was call ed to a large and fashionable church, even before he had got his diploma, and entered upon what promised to he a most successful pastorate before he was 23 years of age. He was eloquent, original, and was looked upon as a successful pulpit orator. All at once, without any apparent cause, he re ceived and accepted a call to three different churches in the short space of five years. No one claimed he was not able, spiritual, and a fine preacher, but he could not hold his hearers. An inquiry showed the trouble to be that fashionable churches who enjoyed his carefully prepared discourses did not like his untidy appearance in the pul pit. not that he looked shabby, but that he did not look sleek as preachers are supposed to look, and for this rea son. and for this reason alone, his most I wealthy and cultured hearers wearied of him and allow ed him to depart, and he went from place to place, each time dropping down a peg in the fashion able church world, until he is now preaching to a church but a few years removed from a missionary chapel. To be sure his sermons are as a rule above the majority of his hearers, but it is the best he can do. and he has to be content with it. If he were addicted to drink, or any of the other social evils his downfall could not be any niore rapid or certain. VOICES OF THE PRESS. The Platform. (Somerset Reporter.) Maine Reupblicans have a platform they can readily subscribe to, a ticket worthy cordial support and earnest -work and will give it a rousing ma jority in September that will count in full strength for Roosevelt and Fair banks in the larger and more import ant election in November. Maine Republicans will do their duty as usual. Complimentary. (Rockland Courier-Gazette.) Republicans throughout the State are charmingly unanimous over one thing, that the Bangor convention nominated the right man, who will get an all whooping majority in September. William T. Cobb. (Maine Farmer.) Mr. Cobb is tin educated, cultivated gentleman, of wide business experience, tine personal presence, and of tTie strictest integrity. He is a totad ab stainer and a firm believer in the pro hibitory laws and their strict enforce ment. He litis every quality necessary to draw till the votes of his party and will receive them. Our Next Governor. (Piscataquis Observer.) As we prophesied in the last issue of the Observer, Hon. William T. Cobb is the Republican candidate for Governor of Maine and a cleaner and more re spectable man never came before the voters of the State as a candidate. The canvass for the nomination had been a hard fought one. but now that the matter is settled the Republicans will close up and work for their com mon candidate. .Will Reflect Credit Upon the State. Farmington Chronicle.) As the Chronicle stated its belief that Hon. Win. T. Cobb of Rockland would be nominated for Governor on the first ballot, -so does it now as con fidently predict for our candidate an administration which will reflect credit upon our good State as well as himself. All together now, and a rousing victory fpr our candidate in September. LIGHT AND AIRY. A New Country.

NO BEEF Effect of Strike on the Augusta Market. Wholesale Supply Small. Will Be Exhausted. Next Week. Famine Expected, Not Because of High Prices, but Because of Impossibility of Securing Beef from Chicago or Other Packing Houses. The effect of the Chicago inept cut ters’ si i ike is already commencing to In I' ll in the cit y, ;,nil. yesterday. its probable effect 1111<i|i tile lnca| market was llic chief topic of cimvi rs.il inti among the local healers. That there will lie a shortage of heef which is like ly in assume the prnpnrtions of a fam ine. there is no doulil. in the mi nis of hot It I he wholesalers and retailers. Already a rise of four cents has been reported in other places, hut yet the, Augusta wholesalers have received no orders to that effect. One of them said, yesterday, in speaking of the situation, that the price cut no figure- it was the impossibility to get beef that was to be the serious feature, .and that after this week there would be no beef, as there would be no beef to ship. A car is expected at the refrigerator, toiiav, and another has been ordered, but whether it w ill be sent is a matter of conjecture. Yesterday there were seven cattle in the refrigerator—hardly a day's supply. The situation is con sidered by all to he serious. The beef supply along tile Kennebec river comes from four supply houses. Wnterville. Augusta. Carditur and Bath, and the weekly output of these four houses is about 200 cattle, besides what native beef is brought in. The native beef cannot be depended upon, as according to the statement of a wholesaler, there are not enough cattle in this section to furnish the four houses mentioned above a week's sup ply. Regarding the wholesale price of beef, the gentleman said that never had the prices been as low as thy have been for the past two years and tha-t until within the past few months, since which time there has been a slight .advance the very best cattle have been selling at seven rents per pound. Two years ago the wholesale price went up to 12 cents, but later dropped to the lignre quoted above. The retail ers, be said, advanced their prices at the same time, but instead of dropping when the wholesale price fell off, had maintained them ever since. It is expected that the shortage of beef will create an advance in the price of other meats and also lisli. hut tin re is only one alternative, and the only thing that remains to be done Is to hope that matters may not be as bad as they appear to he and that the strike may soon,be settled.
