Uuerrita, tao Spanish bull fighter,
established a record for a day's work
recently. He began at 7 o'clock at
San Fernando, near Cadiz, killing
tbreo bulls and putting tho banderil
las in the other three. lie then took
ft train to Xeres and did tho same
thing thcro between 11 and 3, and
wound up tbo day by reaching Sevillo
in time for another fight at half pant
C. In this last right tho bulls wero
unusually fierce, killiug nineteen
horses before they wero despatched.

'The author of the Queeusberry Rules
for the practico of pugilism uus'fouud
bis skill of advantage in a fight with
his own eldest son, Lord Alfred Doug
lass, on tbo crowdod Piccadilly in Lon
don; and bo got tho better of tho
fight. Ho soys that the scrap has let
off somo of tho bad blood between
thorn, and he feels morekiudly toward
bis son than be bus for years, and bo
should not wonder if bis son felt bet
ter toward him. It is a fine condition
of things and sheds lustre on the char
fto l.r of the House of Lords. It is in
tercoting to learn that the Marquis of
Quecnsberry, as ho drove away after
having administered the drubbing to
his son, was heartily cheered by tho
crowd."
It may bo a matter of astonishment
to many people to know that more
than ono-hulf of tho salmon puck of tho
United .States and nearly half of tho
world's supply of euuued salmon now
comes from Alusku. Tho capital in
vested in tho Alaska salmon libheries
is said to bo more than 83,000,000, and
tho vuluo of a season's catch, not in
cluding thh manufactured products
therefrom, co ues to about $2,000,000.
Last year there wero twenty-two can
neries in operation, which packed
G4i5,OtiO cases, and twenty-four salting
cstablihbments put on the market 21,.
000 barrels of salted salmon. This is
obviously killing the goose that lays
golden eggs, comments the Sun Fran
cisco Chronicle. No reproduction of
tbo Baluion, marvelous though it may
seem, could stand such ft drain, espe
cially when, as it appears from the re
searches aud examinations of the Na
tional Fish Commission, most of the
salmon ato seined at the mouth of the
rivers, thereby preventing their run
up stream to the spawning grounds,
and effectually preventing their reproduction.
AROUND THE LABOR WORLD
MORE ADVANCES, '
A Steady Movement Toweit4 Bettet
Again the largely locreaed number of
wage advances has been the feat 'ire most
prominent In tbe week's history ,ef I matters
Industrial. It Is conservatively estimated,
based upon what figures and fa,. are ob
tainable that not lens thnu rl.OJO working
people in tbo United States airt ' today re
ceiving greater compensation f their labor
thna they received tea days ago,' nd by a
Utile figuring It might be aseertaired what a
great amount ol (food bo thus Leen done.
With the wages ol the working people ol the
couutry Bearing the Stan lnr l :( " res years
ago, the volume ol money lu circulation Is,
as a natuta! consequence, greatly augmented,
and the business channel in e'ery direction
are thereby bring opened up, n ai r ol which
have been almost entirely llo kcj tor sev
eral months. Crop prospects I riglilea witb
each succeeding report, ami tbe leeling
of hopefulness aud eoundetiee I. "oou.es more
general and stancher every day.
NEW AMALGAMATED SCALE.
Adopted With Lltt.e Trouble and Satis
factory to all
The recent settlement ol the Amalgamated
wage seals at Youngstown on a ti a ton
basis for puddling, was accomplished witb
less troublo than had been nntieit ted, and
at It standi means that tbe w.ige ot iron
workers will be generally ndvssfed.
1 be settlement holds good In all the mills
now under the Jurisdiction of the Amalga
mated Association, and lb" s -iiln a signed
will be in effect In all ol tbem. The soale Is
based on a bar iron card r it of 1 1-10 ceuti
per pound, and tor every advance ol
1 1-10 cents iu price of lar iron the
workers will receive ten cents addi
tional per ton. As iron Is now quoted
at t. IS aud l.J coots per pound, it virtually
menui tbat the workers will receive 4 7.3 a
ton tor puddling. Tbe scale Is almost uni
versally satisfactory to the members ol the
association, orders are pleLtilul 'a all mills,
and a long and prosperous season lor boto
the mnnulacturer and tbo workmen seem
assured to the end ol the yeaf:
No radical changes liuvo Li'cn made, and
tbe scale Is now arranged for tbo coming
year, and will go "'to effect August 1, at
which time the present agreement expires,
Vuder tbe present scale either side could
abrogate it by giving notice sixty days in ad
vance. Ihe clause has been eliminated from
tbe new scale, having proven unsatisfactory
to both sides during the pint year. President
Oarlond predicts a prosperous year in the
Iron industry.

CLASH WITHFRANCE.
Braallian Troopa Meet Frenchmen In
Disputed Territory.
Tbe strained relations between France and
Brazil over tbe French (lulana boundary,
sppear to become more complicated daily.
The subject Is ana'ogous to tbe Drltlsh Ven
ezuelan trouble in which the United Htates
bns taken a band, aud In the opinion o'
oibclals here tbe French contention witb
Hi a7.ll Is rapidly assuming an aggravated
aspect which may again call for the atten
tion of the United Htates. as tbe Monroe
doctrine applies to one no less than to tbe
other.
Au armed conflict has occurred In tbe dis
puted territory, between French and lira
zilian soldiers. Tbe French Government has
demanded redress, aud the llrazlllan Con
gress has passed a resolution couched In
sharp language calling lor an explanation
from France.
A cable report from P.raxll states that the
Government regards tbe subject as so men
acing that a strict censorship has been estab
lished oa all Information regarding it.
The armed conflicts were merely brought
to a crisis by the long contention over the
French-Guiana boundary, lloth countries
claim a large tract of territory extending
north from the Amazon river, and eual Id
extent to what Is usuallv designated as French
Guiana. F.ach country regards the occupa
tion ot tbls disputed territory a unwaranted;
the fault for tbe recent conflict cannot be
placed. In one respect tbe disputed territory
presents a tnoro serious aspect than that
which Is at issue In Venezuela.
French Guiana is used by France as a con
vict colony for tbe deportation ol tbe worst
closnee from tbe Frencb prisons. As a result,
tbe population Is a strauge mixture of French,
Arabians, Malayans, Greeks and rlfT-rufl ol
Paris.

Frederick Hollman. a w-.l-to-do mason
eontractor ol Chicago murder-! his wit and
four childreu Thursday night and then killed
himself.
It was at first supposed that Hellmsn and
his wifs and children met death by accident,
but It developed at tbe coroner's Inquest that
tbe wholesale murder was oaimly plannsd,
and that tbe man intended to kill himself and
end tbe existence ot tbe me.nbers ot bis
lamlly. The dead man and bis victims
are:
FREDERICK HELLMAN, aged 37.

UEDVYTU HELLMAN, the 3-year-old
daughter.
Tbe tragedy took place In a little brick
cottage at the corner ol Cornelia and Wood
streets. Tbe motive tor tbe crime may never
be known, but it Is supposed tbe act was that
ot a madman, as Hellmsn ten years ago
bad a sunstroke, Irom which he never re
covered. Huspiclen was first aroused next morning
by the lact rbat tbe heuse In which tbe Hell
manns lived was tightly closed long after the
usual hour for the family to be astir. Tbe
mother and married sister ol Hellmann, who
lived next door, attempted to break Into tbe
house, but were unable to do so. Tbey finally
managed to foroe aa entrance through a
a window that had been tbat left unfastened
and made tbelr way to one ol the bedrooms
where tbe dead bodies ol all the lamlly were

The house was so lull ol gas that tbe two
women were nearly overcome, and It was
only alter It bad been opened tbat It was
found possible to turn off tbe gas wnioh was
streaming Irom an open Jet.
The rulativee and all tbe neighbors at once
eonelndsd thet the deaths had been tbe re
sult of an accident, and the police, when they
eame, adhesed to the samo opinion.
The open gas Jet was Just about tbe bed In
which the mother and one ot the children

RIOTOUS CHINESE MOBS.
Another Fiendish Outrage Against Mis
sionaries. An outrage against missionaries Is reported
from Cheng Tu, the capital of boecbaun. It
was an outrage ot unprecedented magnitude
so fur as eoncerns the amount ol property in
volved. In Cheng Tu there were tour Pro
testant establishment, one beijnging to tbe
Cauudlan Methodist mission, under the pres
idency ot Virgil Hart; one to the China Island
mission and two other. The missions have
beeu established there lor 150 years and num
ber 30.00J converts. There were seveial ladles
among the missionaries at Cheng Tu aud the
missions. Tbe French especially bad a large
amount ol property wblcb will cost a vast
sum to replace as far as replacement is pos
sible, Tbat it was an organized and syste
matic attack upon tbe Christians is obvious
and there Is good reason to bellove that tbe
organizer was no less a personage than the
retiring vloeroy of Szecbuau, Liu Flog
Chang. Happily no one seems to bave beeu
injured. Tbe main faot is a geeat destruc
tion ol projwrty.
The latest news ot tbe outrages Is con
tained In the following telegrams, which ap
pear in the North China "Dally News." Tbe
llrst Is dated Chung King, June , aud reaoh

"At Cheng Tu, Kiatng and Yochou, tbe
Trotestant and Catholic mission property has
been utterly destroyed. Smaller elties bave
suffered similarly. Tbe officials refused pro
tection until tbe mob had completed their
work. Viceroy Liu ischlefly to blame. Twenty
adults, beside children still In Cheng Tu,
Yameu. Huchou and other places, are seri
ously threatened. Urge foreign nations to
act promptly."
Tbo second telegram reoelvod on June 11,
ssysi "The English, French, Canadian and
American missions bave been wreoked at
Cheng Tu, Kiatng, Vocliou, Ping Bhang, and
Sin King. Some of the missionaries are
missing, but It is not known that auy lives
lives bave been lost Sulfa nod Sucbou are
threatened. At Chung King a riot is certain.
All foreigners have left Cheng Tu.
