From 1,10( to 1.300 trade unionists idle, work stopped in over thirty residence resi-dence buildings and six large brick business blocks under process of coo- structiou, and a threateuing paralysis of nearly the entire building industry in the city, is the result of the fight between the Trades Council and Builders Exchange of Seattle, Wash., a fight that has been brewing for several sev-eral weeks. There seems to be a determination de-termination on both sides to hold out, neither one being willing to yield a point. The main point in the controversy is the demand on the part of the Trades Unionists that contractors of the Builders' Build-ers' Exchange sign an agreement to pay a certain scale of wages for one year. Many of the members of the exchange ex-change are already paying the scale and others have been for some time, bat they object to tying themselves up to an agreement reaching so far ahead. Those contractors who have yielded and signed the agreement are having no trouble. AFTER CORPORATIONS. Chicago School Teacher Wants Them to !' Just Taxes. A petition for a wit of mandamus to compel the Cook county. 111., board of assessors to file with the county clerk a statement setting forth the value of the capital stock and bonds of Chicago's great franchise corporations was filed in the circuit court Monday by Miss Catherine Goggin, head of the Chicago Teachers' federation.

The horse was Jim Bozeman. His owner was fined S50, and Jockey Boy- ington was ruled off the track. Flouring Mills Shut Down. Nearly half the flour mills operating in Minneapolis have closed for an indefinite in-definite length of time. The Washburn-Crosby and the Pillsbury milling companies say that CO per cent of their mills will close, and it is also reported that the Consolidated milling company will discontinue operations, although it is not learned how many mills will be affected. The officials say the-shut-down is due to the shortage in the demand for flour. The foreign trade, it is declared, is practically dead, while the present stock of the mills will be sufficient to supply the domestic trade for some time to come. It is contended generally gener-ally that the coming election and political po-litical influence have to some extent brought about the sudden decline in demand and it is probable that none of the mills will resume operations until after election is over. Illinois Miners Threaten Trouble. Secretary - Treasurer Ryan of the United Mine-Workers of America has notified the operators of mines in other places having agents in Decatur, that they must not ship any coal into Decatur De-catur until further notice, after filliug what orders they now have, basing his notice on a claim of the miners' union that the Decatur miners are not making mak-ing living expenses and the mines haye been idle more than half of the time. Some of the operators are inclined to fight Ryan's order for that is what it amounts to and there may be trouble.

Imperial Edict Iwacd Atalnst Nine Boxer Ringleaders. By an imperial decree issued at Tai linen Fu, capital of the province of Shan Si, Emperor Kwang Sa denounces the Boxer movement and designates for punishment nine ringleaders. He acknowledges his own fault and rebukes re-bukes himself, but he places the blame upon the princes and nobles who participated par-ticipated in the movement and protected pro-tected it. Prince Tuan, Prince Chung, Prince Tsai Lien, Prioce Tsai Ying, Duge San Kang, Yieng Xien, president of the concert, ai d Chao Shu C'hiao, president of the board of punishment, are all deprived de-prived of their titles, removed from office and turned over to various trial boards for further penalties. Prince Tuan, by the terms of the decree, is to be tried by the board of clans. The foregoing corroborates the official offic-ial advices received recently from Director Di-rector General Sheng by Mr. Wu, the Chinese minister at Washington, and by the latter communicated to the department de-partment of state. It is reported that Tung Fu Hsiang has fled to the province of Shen Si. The impression is growing that the imperial government is making an effort to disperse and punish the Boxers. Box-ers. The imperial troops who were seen Monday near Pei Ta Chu are be- jjeved to have been concerned in this movernent. The acting viceroy at Tiea Tsin was notified that orders had been issued to disperse the Boxers, but said he feared to send out troops because of the presence of the allied forces. Notes from the Taris Exposition. "The Singer Manufacturing Company, Com-pany, of 149 Broadway, New York, show their usual American enterprise by having a very creditable exhibit, located in Group XIII, Class 79, at the Paris International Exposition, where they show to great advantage the celebrated cele-brated Singer Sewing-Machine which is used in every country on the globe, both for family use and for manufacturing manufac-turing purposes. The writer was highly high-ly pleased with this display and observed ob-served with much satisfaction that it was favorably commented upon ' by visitors generally. The Grand Prize was awarded by the International Jury to Singer Sewing-Machines for superior excellence in design, construction, efficiency and for remarkable development and adaption adap-tion to every stitching process used in either the family or the factory. Only One Grand Prize for sewing machines was awarded at Paris, and this distinction of absolutely superior merit confirms the previous action of the International Jury at the World's Columbian Exposition, in Chicago, where Singer machines received 51 distinct awards, being more than were received by all other kinds of sewing machines combined. Should it be possible that any of our readers are unfamiliar with the celebrated Singer Machine, we would respectfully advise that they call at any of the Singer salesrooms which can be found in all cities and most towns In the United States."

Belief that Explorer Will Not Ketarn This Autumn. J The failure of the Peary exploring i steamer Windward to return from the north leads to the belief that the ex- plorer will not attempt to get back this autumn. Probably the season I just passed was an open one in the far I north. Should thould that have been ! the case, Lieutenant Peary is likely to i have taken the Windward into serine high latitude, hoping to use her in a further expedition next season. This would mean that he has made no special record during the present year.. GALVESTON NEEDS HELP. Clara Barton Appeals for Aid to Build j Homes.

At a meeting of American citizens at Tien Tsin, Thursday, the . following resolutions were adopted: ',, "We, citizens of the United State deplore the contemplated withdrawal of a large part of the United ' States troops in north China. We feel the work of the allied armies is far from accomplished and - that the refusal of the American government to tace it part there is sure to be regarded by the allies as an nnwortby act and by the Chinese as a sign of indifference. 'We urge our government UP carry to an end the work it basso honorably and efficiently begun, and to maintain a sufficient force for the protection of American mercantile and military interests in-terests until a settlement of the trouble is accomplished."

When the American governor gen- eral issued his famous order requiring requir-ing all children to.be properly clothed in the street there was consternation in San Juan. Previous to our occupation occu-pation the, lower or working classes had never thought of putting clothrs upon p. young child, especially in the country; and as a result the island was filled with brown little Adams and Eves, without even the bib'.ieal fig-leaf to hide their nakedness Porto Rico, you must know, is near ly as thickly populated as Belgium and many of the people are very poor To some parents it was a positive hardship to clothe their numerous off spring, and, moreover, it was not con sidered necessary, because of the mi'.d climate. The governor general, however, how-ever, entertained other views. To his military and somewhat stern eye the picturesqueness of the landscape wai not enhanced by any number of naked babies. He would have liked to put uniforms upon them, such is the force of habit and education. Clothing them was at least a step in their "Americanization," and, to do him justice, ' he believed that the the infants was due to their naked ness, especially during the season of "northers." And so the fiat went forth. For a few days the streets were al most abandoned by the juvenile population popu-lation of the lower classes. With difficulty dif-ficulty could I procure a pa?er or get my shoes polished; an& when the street Arabs gradually reappeared in motley array the style and fit of their clothes was somewhat startling. An adult's s.eok coat was not infrequently the only garment, and in one instance, at least, a father's waistcoat had to. serve his small son in lieu of a l clothing. The working classes usually usu-ally inhabit the basements of the San Juan houses, where their apartments often without windows, are grouped about a patio or central courtyard. When an American officer, a soldier, or a native policeman approached one jf these habitations, there would be a scampering from the main door of iiaked children, who disappeared like a cyclone in the gloom of the interior. I was the fortunate possessor of a smattering of Spanish, and this fact led me to make a daily purchase of La Correspondencia, the principal paper pa-per of the city, which was usually brought to me by a small , urchiH, Jose Santos by name, but better known by the diminutive of Pepe (pronoiaced Pay-pay). Pepe was old enough to know better, perhaps, but for reasons of economy and comfort his clothing was generally limited to what might be called, in his case, a suit of primeval prime-val Innocence. Indeed, clothes seemed to be abhorrent abhor-rent to Pepe; and when he condescended conde-scended to wear them at all they were never buttoned. Any old thing an-, swered the purpose, if handy; and if not, Pepe sold papers and polished shoes, while he himself was as naked as on the day he was born, "s His unconsciousness un-consciousness of" the fact was refreshing. refresh-ing. After the publication of the clothing order, however, Pepe disappeared disap-peared from the public view. Indeed, I was now compelled to walk several blocks for La Correspondencia, and I wondered what had become 6f my smiling and usually alert little friend. One day, as I passed a densely populated pop-ulated basement in the Calle del Cristo, I heard myself hailed in Spanish Span-ish by a child's voice: "Say, Mister Officer, please let me talk to you a moment," would be an English equivalent equiv-alent of what was said, but does not correctly translate the polite Porto Rican Spanish employed. I must tell you that Latin-American children are always courteous, and,, for example, if you ask the name of one of the tiniest of them, he or she will give it in full and then add: "Your little servant, sir." In this instance the voice came from behind the open door and, when I stopped, Pepe's head appeared. ap-peared. - "Come out of that, Pepe. What's y ... C? EXPERT METHODS WITH REMINGTON.

And I can't bring you no more papers 'cause de perlice run me In if they see me naked," he replied. re-plied. There is a vernacular in Spanish Span-ish as well as in English. "Well, your father must get you some clothes.-" "I ain't got no father, Mister." "Then your mother must get them." "I ain't got no mother, neither." "Poor child! What do you want to talk to me about?" .Mister Americano, won't 'stake' me? Please lend me you some money to get a suit of clo'es with. I'll polish your shoes and fetch your paper every day for nothing." Pepa's eyes shone like black diamonds. Of course the little fellow was irresistible irre-sistible and the loan was made, happily hap-pily upon more advantageous terms for the young borrower. One Ame i-can i-can dollar was worth nearly two in provincial coin; and to encourage thrift as much as to try Pepe, I agreed to let him work it out, with the mental men-tal reservation of paying him in full for his services if he proved trustworthy. trust-worthy. And for a week no one could have been more faithful. Every morning La Correspondencia duly made its appearance ap-pearance and my shoes were neatly polished. And then Pepe stopped cominp;! More than the paper I missed the smiling countenance, the large and dark eyes, the shock of blue-blac'c hair, of my little friend. His gratitude grati-tude I could not doubt, because, n;t content with fulfilling his part of our bargain, he had several times brought me fruit, and only deristed from such practice upon my resolute and almost angry command. Apparently Pepe was lost. I was loath to believe him unfaithful, and inquired for him la the basement of the house in the Calle del Cristo, from which he had accosted me, but the inmates could give no tidings of him. And I never saw him again, which is a bad and unsatisfactory ending for this simple little story, but, alas! it is a truthful one! Shortly aftei this episode I left San Juan, and a few weeks later I received re-ceived a letter from the army surgeon in charge of the smallpox hospital in that city, of which the following is a true extract: "From the description given me by the little fellow, and the fact of your speaking Spanish with these people, I am sure that you must be the officer in question. He did not remember your name, but said that his own was Pepe. In his last moments his chisf concern was not himself, but that you should receive the dollar bill whkh I enclose. You need have no fear, as it has been thoroughly disinfected." Want Insulating Gloves. A prize of ?200 is offered by an industrial in-dustrial association of France for the best insulating gloves for electrical workmen. They must be strong enough to resist not only the electric pressure, but also accidental perforations by wires, etc., arid must in addition be easy to wear by hands of any' size, and allow the' workmen's fingers sufficient freedom to execute their work. The competition is international. Saw Romans Mob an Anarchist. Rev. A. B. White, pastor of the Austin, Aus-tin, 111., Methodist Episcopal church, who recently returned from a European Euro-pean trip, was in Rome at the time King Humbert was assassinated. He says the people were Infuriated by the murder of the king, and he saw a mob dragging the editor of an anarchist anarch-ist paper through the streets. American Actresses In Kngland. Several of our American actresses haye gone to England and almost without exception own charming houses. We perhaps hear the most about Mrs. James Brown Potter's cottage cot-tage on the Thames, though her house in London also is famous. The Thames cottage has rare blue china and quaint old furniture. Illiteracy In Rouman'a. Roumania would appear to be the most illiterate country in Europe. The last census shows that, in a population of nearly 6,000,000, nearly 4,000,000 can neither read nor write, and that only a little over 1,000,000 have any educa tion at all.
