(JERHAN HESSAGE
HAKES SENSATION
ST. PETERSBURG, July I:s.—Em
peror William's message of good
wishes to the Wiborg regiment is at
tracting more attention here than at
other capitals. Tho Novoe Vremya
says:
"Europe is iudeed, hungry for a
sensation. The message was to a regi
ment of which Emperor William is
honorary member and they find there
in possibility ot a breach ot neutral
ity." The paper oonsiders in much
ado about nothing.
The Bourse Gazette, a pro Gorman
p&per.is the only one which interprets
the message as evidence of German
"friendly neutrality," declaring it to
oe a guarantee that Emperor William
uever will attempt to offer meditation,
adding that a Monarch so proud of a
regiment bearing hisiiame fighting for
the honor of its country, never will
thus affrout Russia.
TMIRTY THOUSAND
JAPS KILLED
ST. PETERSBURG, July 13 —5:35
p. m —This city was thrown into a
fever of excitement this afternoou by
the news that the Japanese had tailed
in an assault on the fortress of Port
Arthur ou Sunday night, having been
repulsed with a loss said to reach 30,-
000.
BRITISH FLEET
IN FAR EAST
CHE FOO, July 13.—fi p. m.- The
British fleet, whose movements last
week were tinged with mystery, has
been located cruising in Yung-Ohing
bay, thirty miles from Wei-Hai-Wei
There is authority for saying that the
fleet is watching the developments at
Port Arthur.
Chinese refugees from Port Arthur
who arrived here today report that the
Japanese have recaptured two posi
tions from which they recently were
driven, namely forts fourteen and
seven.
SQUADRON AIDING
IN THE DEFENSE
ST. PETERSBURG.JuIy 13.-12:32
p. m.—The Admiralty believes that
Rear Admiral Withoft's squadron is
rendering effective aid in the defence
of Port Arthur and by impeding the
construction of batteries near the east
ern approaohes of the fortress, by go
ing out aud shelliug the Japanese
works under construction for this pur
pose.
The expedition of Saturday is believ
ed to have been of this nature. The
briugiug up of siege guus to an effec
tive range can thus be materially re
taided. This probably is the reasou
the squadron has not yet left Port Art
bur and it is not likely to do so until
the fall of the fortress becomes inevit
able.
Ttie admiralty considers that the
uaval situation has greatly improved
aud sees evidence of the Japanese fleets
showing sign* of exhaustion. The
officials here think that Admiral
Togo, with the knowledge that he will
have to fight without the co-operation
of the army in storming Port Arthur,
has become extremely cautious about
risking his ships, and that at present
he will only undertake operations ot
aecoudary importance, like a pursuit
of the Vladivostok squadron and co
operation with laud forces at New
Oh waug.
A special despatch from Ta-Tche-
Kiao says tho Japanese lost heavily
while crossing the river *t Kai-Chou.
According to a special telegram from
Llao Yang the Russian scouts have
discovered further Japanese detach
ments iu the valley of the Tai-Tse riv
er, ou the road to Muketi. The cor
respondent thinks the Japanese in that
vicinity intend to diieot the operations
of the Chinese bandits, who are con
oentrating iu the surrounding valley
for the parpose of raiding the railroad
and blowing up bridges.
Armor of Old Japan.
An armor ot Obl|.lapan displayed iu
the window of Lunger's shoe store,
Mill street, attracts a good deal of at
tention. The armor, which shows the
mode of dress used by soldiers in the
fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, in said to be historically
correct, 111 all its details.
A special election of the qualified
voters ot Benton Borough was held
Tuesday for the purpose of consider
ing the water question. By a vote of
104 to 36 it was decided to have the
borough erect its owu water plant.
810 MEAT FAMINE
THREATENS COUNTRY
OWING TO STRIKE
CHICAGO, .lulv 13. —With no sign of
weakening on either flirie,the only ray
of hope in the hoteliers' strike today
was the possibility that arbitration j
may intervene to prevent a labor war j
fraught with nattering and privation
to the strikers and heavy loss to the
packers.
Nor is the :>ffect of the strike con- ]
lined to the employes and packers in j
the nine cities where the tight will be j
centered. The consuming public will I
bear a large share of the burden in
higher prices lor meats. Reports al
ready have come from various cities
that prices of the product have been
raised. This advance, too, was said to
he but a forerunner of others if the
conflict continued long.
In addition to the 50,000 employes
already ou strike, upwards of 80,000
more are involved indirectly and most
ot them probably will be made idle
betore tonight. In addition to the
slaughtering departments of all the
plants being tied up, the strike atti ets
branch industries in which such ait
icles as buttoriue, soup, buttons and ,
combs are manufactored.
The canning departments where
beans, soups,ami all kinds ot meat are
put up are also hard hit, the union em
ployes having gone out in a body.
Forty thousand persons, approxi
mately, find employment in the big
packing booses in Chicago, and this
number already has been reduced one
half. The effect of the strike upon the
mechanical and other departments it
is declared, will increase this army of
unemployed in Chicago before the end
of the week to nearly 35,000.
Arbitration is looked upon as the
only means to avert a prolonged strike.
The strikers declare that they will bo
willing to consider any reasonable pro
position sabiiiitted from the other side.
The detail of police at the stock yards
lias been increased in number and all
night long the officers patrolled the
strike district and the streets adjacent
to the yards in pairs. There was con
siderable speculation as to whether the
packing house teamsters would go out
ou a sympathetic striko. George Gold
en, business agent of the union,set all
doubts at rest at a meeting of the
Teamsters' joint council by announc
ing that the teamsters would remain
at work as long as there was work for
them to do.
With a seeming certainity of a meat
famine should the strike last more
than a week, both the packers and the
striko leaders took a serious view of
the situation today. Each side thought
I fully considered the arbitration chan
nel of escape from the entanglement.
Indeed,predictions were ventured that
an armistice might he arranged with
in 24 boors. Such optimism, however,
was received with a good deal of in
credulity.
President Donnelly, of the Butcher
Workers' Union, expressed regret that
the packers' offer to arbitrate had not
been made earlier. Had it been, he
said,the strike might have been avert
ed.
"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 me to do any
thing to stop the trouble. It will be an
expensive war, but apparnetly it will
have to be fought oat. We aie strong
—stronger, strange as it may seem—
than ttie packers. We have the whole
country to draw up forsosteuance and
have no dividends to pay. If the pack
ing plants are idle a month it will eat
op all their dividends for two years. "

STEEL WAGE SCALE
PITTSBURG, July 13.—A1l the on
ion iron and steel plants in the Pitts
burg district have signed the new
wage scale of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers.
The list was completed todav when

WANT A FOOT BRIDGE
ACROSS THE RIVER
W'ILKESBABRE, Pa , July 13
Nescopeok residents have instituted a
movement which is already well under
way toward coustructiug a foot bridge
across the river upon the old piers. A
meeting of a number of the oouucil
aud other oitizeus has been held aud
the propostion defined.
It is to raise 1500 to SBOO by public
subscription iu Nescopeck aud an
amount iu Berwick aud construct a
cable foot way from pier to pier. Up
on the pier that is partly carried away
a firm trestle would be erected. The
bridge would be six feet iu width aud
would cost about #1,500.
The citizeus have written to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and
placed the situation before them and
asked the loaii of cables to be return
ed when the bridge was erected. A
very encouraging answer was received
asking the size and length of the cables
that would be required.
A committee has also met the Couu
ty Commissioners and received en
couraging answer asking the size aud
length of tho cables. They can he
counted upon for a substantial sum.
Auother meeting of the citizens ot
Nescopeck will be held in the very
uear future when committees will be
appointed to make a canvass for sub
scriptions and make arrangements. It
is the purpose to prepare specifications
and have the construction of the bridge
let out to the lowest bidder.
Bank Advertising.
Twenty-five or thirty years ago there
was done less advertising than now.
Busiues firms habitually placed in
newspapers small ads which were sel
dom changed, which seldom conveyed
much information and never contain
ed anything snappy or attractive.
Many firms depended for trade whol
ly upou their reputation and public
knowledge ot them. Banking institu
tions were supposed to be above that
method of obtaining patronage.
Thirty years have made many changes
in business methods. The "old firm"
whose dim store-sign was its badge
of respectability and which "didn't
need to aJvertise because everybody
knew it" finds that dimness and slow
ness are not attractive and that iu
these hustling days the people's mem
ory is short. Even banking institu
tions that do basiuess advertise now
and do it well. The Altoona Trust
Company, for instance, says of itself,
iu part, in oue of its ads:
It is a wise counselor aud a
steadfast friend of every young
person who wishes to rise; to the
wage wcrker who wishes to make
provision against the "rainy day"
to that class which is struggling
to place itself in a position of in
dependence. It aims every hour to
be a medium for oouteutmeut and
prosperity, and never fails to ren
der conscientious, faithful and
painstaking service.
That is good matter for an ad of that
kiud. It is a wise banking institution
that kuows it ought to advertise. It
is a wiser oue that does.
