SAN rilANClSCO, July 30. The labor
trouble- In this city reached a crisis today
and ns u result maritime traffic and labor
nlongshoro aro almost at a standstill and
Industry Is almost totally paralyzed.
Tho order for a general walkout of tho
City Front federation was niado effective
this morning. Tho City Front federation
comprises fourteen unions and organiza
tions with n full membership of about
15,000.
Three thousand of these men aro em
ployed at sen or In other cities and tho
strlko order docs not apply to them, unless
they return to San Francisco.
Twelve thoueajnl men obeyed tho order
today. Tho City Front federation Is com
posed of tho following organizations:
Sailors' Union of tho Pacific, four local
unions of 'longshoremen, marine firemen,
Brotherhood of Teamsters, ship and steam
boat Joiners, porters, packers, warehouse
men, ship clerks, plledrlvcrs and brldgo
bulldcrs, hoisting engineers, steam and
hot water fitters and coal teamsters.
When tho order to walk out went Into
effect all tho big shipping companies, with
one exception, were left without a union
man. Dy a special ngrcemcnt entered Into
some, time ago between tho Pacific Coast
Steamship company and tho FIromon's
union tho firemen rcmnlned on tho vessels
of that company. Four coasting steamers,
n ship nnn a schooner were tho only ves
sels that went to sea.
In .Menmire of npfrimr,
It Is claimed by tho officers of all tho
organizations Involved that tho strlko Is
not purely on expression of sympathy with
tho union of teamsters, or any other body
of workers which aro in dispute with their
employers, but Is a taking up of tho gaunt
let thrown down by tho employers' asso- i
elation. In other words, tho City From
federation is determined to defend tho
principle of unionism, which tho associated
employers havo announced tholr Intention
to crush out. Iioth sides seem determined
to carry tho fight on nnd all efforts on tho
part of the mayor and others to brine
nbout a conciliatory settlement havo thus
far proved unavailing. It Is reported un
nuthorltatlvcly that several of tho larger
wholesalo houses will close down until tho
strlko Is Bottled. Walter Coff, president
of tho Labor council, said today:
"This Is tho greatest strike In tho his
tory of the state. Its effects will bo most
far-reaching and tho city and stnto will
Buffer untold damages, but tho responsi
bility for It is oil with tho employers.
Thoy havo discharged men right nnd left
for adhering to union principles and In
taking up the battle tho nmilated trades
aro merely fighting for their rights.
"Wo did not want this trouble and did
what wo could to avoid It, but tho em
ployers wero obstlnnto and forced us to
accept tho Issue. Now that tho strlko is
upon us we will fight It out. Wo will win,
because our sldo Is right. Our victory will
mean tho success of the union principles,
thn deftat of the employers' attempt to say
that employes shall not organize or tako
steps to protect their labor."
Tlcii Will He Complete.
There Is evory prospect that many othor
unions will bo drnwn Into tho llRht, In
which case tho business of tho city will bo
completely tied up. The coal handlers may
refuse to handle any fuel for tho city, or
tho drUers refuse to haul It. The supply
of tho city will last but two weeks with
ordinary consumption, but with economy
It may bu mndo to last a week longer.
Should tho coal nnd oil supply bo cut off
tho lighting companies will bo compelled to
close down and the city will bo left In
dnrkness after nightfall.
Several disturbances occurred today and
tho first really serious fight since tho
troublo commenced took placo between a
party of strikers nnd two colored drivers
Imported from tho Interior. Tho colored
men state that thoy wore attacked nnd had
to lire into tho strikers In BClt-dofenso.
Ono man wis slightly Injured. He was a
ttrlker who happened to bo crossing tho
street near tho scene of tho troublo. Tho
strikers claim that the shooting wbb un
provoked. Tho nonunion men wero ar
rested, but wero rclensed on ball.
Several fights occurred on tho water
front and the police were compelled to uso
their clubs freely, but no ono was seri
ously injured.
At Port Oosta, whoro severnl hundred
warehousemen have been on a strike, a
settlement was reached today, tho ware
house owners agreeing to a nine-hour
workday and tho pay tlmo and a half for
all overtime.

egram.) Assisted by outside parties Frank
Nenl. alleged horsothlef, escaped from tho
county Jail hero early this morning. Nenl
was charged with stealing two teams of
horses and a wagon from Nate Sutherland
nnd Harry Roup, farmers of this county,
last April. Ho wns apprehended at Wet-
more, Knn., and the property recovered
tho day following the theft here.
In his preliminary hearing he was bound
over to tho district court nnd nt tho May
term of that tribunal tho evidence was
considered sufficient for tho Judge to con
tlnuo Ills case until tho October term,
Nenl said ho would prove ho bought tho
outfit In Seneca. Dond was fixed at $700,
but was not furnished.
During tho heated term Sheriff Strong
litis been giving tho prisoners liberties out
of the usual. Nenl and n boy named
Adams havo been tho occupants of tho
Jail and have been sleeping In nny part
of tho prison where, they could find comfort,
Last night Adams went to his cell, but
Neal prepared n bed on tho floor of tho
corridor. About 2 o'clock this morning
Adnms was awakened by unusual noises
nbout tho Jail and, calling Neal, received
no nnswer. Upon arising he found that
Neal had gone to his coll, closed tho door
and stuffed tho doorway with bedding, so
Adams would not henr him work, nnd sawed
two steel bars from tho small cell window
nnd escaped. Adams called tho sheriff,
who sleeps on the second Moor of tho Jail,
nnd tho officer summoned help nnd en
deavored to locate Nenl, but without suc
cess. Thcro is no doubt he received ns
8lstanco from outside. Tho officers be
lieve his friends met him nt tho outskirts
of tho city with a rig nnd hustled him out
of the country.
Neal Is a largo man In stature, measuring
six feet and weighing ISO pounds. He had
n dark, sandy moustache and woro a largo
black slouch hat and overalls. Johnson

Kent About the Snnie,
WASHINGTON, July 30. Tho rains In
tho corn belt today were considerably less
than during tho Inst forty-eight hours, but
they fell where they were most needed
that Is, In southwestern Ohio nnd southern
Illinois. There were also good rains In
Tennessee nnd Arkansas and moro showers
In Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska nnd eastern
Knnsns.
Singularly, tho rain fell around the state
of Indiana nnd there was not nny rnln of
any Importance within Its boundaries, Tho
central portion of the corn belt of Texas
Is still without much-needed rain. Pros
pects generally nro for fair weather In the
corn belt now, with wnrmer weather west
of tho Mississippi and on Thursday warmer
weather east of that river.
Tcmpcrnturcs In (he corn belt show little
change during the last twenty-four hours,
the maximums having averaged rather less
than 90 west of tho Mississippi and slightly
over that flguro to the east.
In tho Atlantic states It has been warm

In Topeka tho rainfall lusted over nn hour,
nnd still moro will come tonight. This
afternoon nn excellent rain fell from Atchi

Wellington reports tonight u heavy rainfall
In tho southern part of the stato today.
Tho crop report gives the conclusion that
there will bo at least it third of a crop of
corn rnlscd. Somo localities report that
some of tho corn was so far backward bo
foro tho coming of the rain thnt It will
hnvo a good chance to make something,
In somo of the most fortunate of these
places tho corn will make nearly halt a
crop.
The rains have placed a new phase on
tho live stock situation. A week ago tho
farmers were almost panic-stricken and
were hastening to sell their cattle nnd
hogs at nny sacrifice, to avoid the necessity
of feeding them through tho coming senson
nt so great nn expense Their notion was
caused by tho fact that there was scarcely
any feed In tho entire state. Now Im
mense quantities of turnips, sorghum nnd
kafflr corn nre being planted, and as a
result the farmers will have a great
abundance of forngo for tho coming ten
son. Tho herds can now bo fed without
trouble.

IluxlieU.
CHICAGO, July 30. Paul Morton, sec
ond vice president of tho Atchison, Topekn
& Santa Fo railroad, speaking tonight of
the prospective corn crop, said:
"My estimate of the corn crop for this
year places tho yield for the entire coun
try in the neighborhood of 1,500,000,000
bushols. Of course this figure represents
nothing moro than a rough guess, which I
have attempted to mnko after hearing tho
reports of our ngents throughout tho com
belt.
''Tho general rorn crop Is by no means
ruined by tho drouth, although somo die
trlcts hnvo suffered sevorely. Tho wheat
yield Is larger than ever. Throughout Kan
sas and Oklnhoma the crop was exception
ally large and the wheat Is of good quality
"Tho loss of the corn crop In Kansas and
Missouri to the railroads Is no longer tho
sorlous matter It used to bo. Take, for
Instnnce, the Snntn Fe. It tins diversified
Its tonnage to such an extent that corn Is
not now the all-Important factor In mak

Eugeno V. Debs, when asked at IiIb home
In Terro Haute tonight for an expression
concerning the notion of tho convention to
ward him, oald: 1
"The term 'sholvod' has llttlo or no sig
nificance with me. They may shelve mo
If they like. I hnvo no personal desire to
be called n lender, Tho action of tho
Springfield faction does not disconcert mo
In the leant. It Is simply an effort on the
part of the eastern faction to dlctnto to
the Chicago faction, of which I om a mem
ber. The convention in Indianapolis Is not
a representative body of socialists, as tho
Springfield faction Is largely In tho ma
jority and Is in n petition to dictate. Fac
tional strife Is a part of politics and if
the convention now sitting does not act In
harmony, then tho tlmo for socialism's
debut an tho political jttngo as a strong
party power is not ripe."

"Potntocs, which last summer sold from
30 to 40 cents per bushel, are now moved

RAPID CITY. S. I)., July 30. (Special.)
A number of cnttlo have died of nnthrnx
on the range cast of this city, and the
cattle owners nre taking steps to slop the
spread of tho disease. Two years ngo
thero was a bad epidemic which killed off
n Inrgo number of cattle ond It Is feared
that tho disease may again get a foothold.
One prominent cattle owner asserts that the
carcaBscs must bo burled as soon ns pos
sible after death nnd under no circum
stances must a person handle the flesh or
attempt to skin the nnlmol. unless the
hands nre covered with rubber gloves. The
carcass of an nnlmnl that hns died with
nnthrax will 'not be eaten by wild nnlmnls;
even the buzzards will lenve It alone. Cat
tlemen stato thnt the germs of the (license
will live In the earth or on the grass for
years and that It can be conveyed to stock
nt nny time during thnt period. On this
account those who passed through tho
scourge of the disease two years ago nre
making great efforts to havo the enrcasscs
of the cattle that nre dying this summer
cither burned or burled deep. Unless this
Is done it is believed thnt It will be prac
tically Impossible to stamp out the dls
caso. Many of tho people in the infected
part of the range nre very much frightened
lest the disease become virulent and spread
nmong the people of the district.

BELLE FOURCHE, S. D., July 30. (Spe

all parts of the Hills are In excellent con
dition. Tho grass is green yet, which Is
unusual. It usually begins to cure nt this
time of tho year and turns brown. The
shipment of stock from the rnnges will set
In earlier this summer than last on ac
count of the good feed nnd the nbundnnco
of water. It hns not heen necessary for
cattle to go far for water In any portion
of the range, for water holes have been
filled all summer. Cattle have found new
pasturage this season on nccount of the
nearness to wnler. Tho grnss is still
growing and there will be n fine crop of
feed for winter. It Is certain that stock
thnt ara to be wintered will go through this
time with very llttlo hay. Tho hay crop Is
In prime condition nnd considerable Is be
Inp cut and stacked along the water
