GLASGOW, July 1U. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) This week Glasgow wai
again ringing with the fame of the collier
surgeon, William Baa. Many voices In nu
merous dlalecU proclaimed his wonderful
cures. Many remarkable aoenea were wit
nessed. Patients supported on crutchea
and aticka limped painfully up to the bouse,
received their treatment and emerged tri
umphantly, discarding in many cases the
club-soled shots, Irons and other alda to
balance with which they had entered.
"That'a my aon," aald a middle aged
man, pointing to a boy of 10. For four
years the lad has been unable to put
his left foot to the ground. The ankle and
hip had been dislocated. Now, though he
retained his crutches, being weak still, he
was using the foot with great freedom.
An elderly woman who had not walked
for some time owing to trouble with her
anklea, was able to traverse the road
back to the station. A factory hand from
Lancashire, who for eighteen months was
unable to work through hip trouble, strug
gled slowly In with the aid of two aticka.
One waa enough when he left the cottage,
three or four minutes ' attention having
put him right. That waa an exceptionally
quick cure, but none of the cases seemed
to take long, and every half hour saw two
or three patients come Into view, improved
If not always cured,
Rae does not pose as a miracle worker.
"It la Just dislocatlona that I treat," aald
he In an Interview.
Tall, strong-framed and rugged of fea
ture, he la in appearance much the same
aa thousands of other Boots. Yet there Is
something strikingly intelligent in his
homely face. Shrewdness and good humor
shine from the gray eyea beneath the
bushy ' brows silvered with the passage
of years. The firm mouth and ohln, the
latter partially hidden by a ahort beard.
Indicates that here la a character of force
ful doggedneas and clear purpose.
"What Is the secret of your treatment?"
he waa asked.
"Secret?" aald Mr. Rae, as he relit the
pipe he waa enjoying In one of his leisure
hours, "There is none. It Is just putting
tho bones back into the plaoes where they
should be. - -
"Here," aald he, stretching out his sup
ple hands and strong wrlflts, "here and In
my head lies the power the Lord ties given
me, a natural gift for understanding what
la amiss and seeing what la wanted to put
It right."
Rae haa, of course, studied human and
animal anatomy. Some half century ago
at Larkhall, hla birthplace, fourteen or
fifteen miles from Qlaagow, then a sparsely
populated village, bone setting waa hla
hobby and he pursued it until it haa be
come hla sole occupation. He has kept to
the school of experience and left other
training grounds alone.
Hla early years were spent In colliery
work, and whl'e he waa pit head foreman
at Larkhtll he won looal fame aa a bona
aetter, which followed htm to an embsr
rasslng extent when he removed to Buther
glen. So many ' people oarae to him that be
found he must give up either his colliery
dutlea or hla aurgloal experiments. He
relinquished the pit work and, going Into
Glasgow, built up a connection of some
Value.

PARIS,'' July 18. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) An Interesting discovery of aa
ancient frigate, with a skeleton crew on
board, haa Just been made at Havre during
dredging operations for a new channel
about 130 yards beyond the Jetty,
The dredger brought up two human skele
tons and a seaman's boot of old-fashioned
pattern. A diver waa sent down and dis
covered the remains of a frigate of appar
ently about 600 tons burden, whloh had evi
dently gone down during a sea fight, sev
eral at the old guns being still loaded.
Numerous flint-lock muskets were also
found, on board and cannon balls, ooupled
together by chains. In pairs. Some colls of
.-rope were still In position, but fell to pieces
on being touched. On proceeding to the
lower deck toe diver made the grneaome
discovery of several bi"-n skeletons, being
vldontly those of the arew who went down
With their vessel.
Already etc cannon, ton feet long, made
of cast iron, have been brought tb the sur
face, and It la hoped that many more
curious reUoe will be resoued before the
Old ship la blown up with dynamite, as It
la obstructing the new channel.
It la supposed that the frigate la an Eng
lish C. Dutch vessel whloh belonged to the
Anglo-Dutch fleet which bombarded Havre
during the early part of the eighteenth cen
tury. Bo far no mark or Inscription haa been
found which gives any clue to the vessel's
nationality.

WARY ANDERSON STILL CHARMS
as and Reads for the Kd I neat Ion
of the Poor of Lon
don. LONDON, July 16. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) "Let us sing once more at
the People's Palace," aald Mme. de Na
varre. Thla week she had her wish, and
the same Mary Anderson we used to know
twenty years ago sang to 2.000 people, so
that the poor lads and lasses of the team
ing East End may have sweetness and
light by the furtherance of the club settle
ments. She wore no wreath of rosea; only a stm
ple gown of pure white, and her hair Juat
almply done lta own ornament.
For her first song she chose a piece with
which she used to charm London twenty
years ago, "I Am An Actor," from W. S.
Gilbert's "Comedy and Tragedy." When
the oceans of spplause from the 1000 per
sons who wanted her to sing all night had
died away a silver-haired gentleman In the
guinea seata crystallised every body'a feel
ings by remarking In a voice made audible
by enthusiasm:
"Wall, really, shea put back the clock
half a lifetime. I feel quite a young fellow
again."
Once during the evening she really ceased
to be Mary Anderson. That waa when she
"read" the murder aoene In "Macbeth."
She waa both characters. She introduced
the reading by Bitting In a very large ohalr
and quietly telling the audience about her
enthusiasm for Shakespeare a striking new
thing for an actreaa to do.
Acting aa a "super," Father Bernard
Vaughan ahlfted the chalra and tablea on
the platform for her, and In hla speech he
said "the best talent of the empire" haa
come to the East End to help the work.
He referred to Mme. Albanl, Mr. Bentley
and Mr. Oervaae Elwes, aa well aa Mlas
Mary Anderson, In thla phrase.
LORDS SIT DOWN ON WOMEN
Refuse to Pnaa BUI Giving; Them tho
Right to Beeon Membors of
County Council.
LONDON, July "la (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) Earl Beauchamp'a bill to en
able women to become members of county
and borough councils had a very unkind
reception In the House of Lords, though
a similar measure haa been read a second
time In the House of Commons by a ma
jority of 1SS.
The lord chancellor (Lord Halabury) de
nounced the bill aa part and parcel of the
agitation to place women In exactly the
same position aa men. "On personal
grounds," he added, "I hope It will be re
jected." i
"Women have the right to rote at these
elections," urged Lord Tweedmouth, "and
aurely they. are equally entitled to alt on
the councils, and even In Parliament."
Lord Jamea of Hereford gently depre
cated the measure aa calculated to lead
women Into the struggle and turmoil of
political atrlfe and Injure . not only the
atato but the domestic life of every man's
house.
In thla view Lord Londonderry coincided,
and to the horror of the lord chancellor
drew a vivid ploture of a faaclnatlng fem
inine politician occupying Lord Halabary'a
aeat on the woolsack.
"I have no sympathy with political
women," said the earl of Portsmouth with
unwonted asperity. "A woman's politics
should be the politics of her husband. It
la not a question of politics, but of sex,
and the bill proposes a change in social
life which I shall strongly, steadily and
persistently oppose." .
The second reading waa refused.

GOVERNMENT THOROUGHLY INCOMPETENT
Jto One in Slftht Strong; Enough to
Remedy ihe Condition If He
Had tho Disposition to
Try It.
PARIS, July 16. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) In the course of an interview
with the Bt. Petersburg correspondent of
the Echo de Paris, M. Taburno, who is de
scribed as an engineer of high reputation,
and who took an active part in the build
ing of the Transsiberlan railway, declared
the problem of the transport of food and
ammunition for the army of 600,000 required
by General Kouropatkln to be well-nlgtrln-soluble.
. Such an army will need 110,000
to 120,000 horses. Manchuria is a poor and
hostile country and Eastern Siberia doea
not grow enough corn for Its population.
The latter country could, however, aupply
the army with half the cattle and all the
forage It requires. But the remainder of
the enormous quantity of provision Inde
spenaible to that mass of men and animals
must be drawn from Western Siberia and
even from Russia proper.
Assuming that the supplies from Eaatern
Siberia were forwarded to Harbin by the
Shllka, the Amur, and the Sungarl, It
would atlll be necessary to send fourteen
or fifteen trains to Harbin daily with pro
visions, ammunition, railway material, etc.
Thla would make twenty-eight to thirty
running both ways, and M. Taburno. ques
tioned whether the line would be able to
bear such traffic. He did not think the
situation a hopeless one, however, as there
still remained the possibility of organizing
carriage by road and river. "But," added
M. Taburno, "this oourse is urgently neces
sary, as otherwise I do not see how Russia
can accomplish the most gigantic task of
all those undertaken In the history of mod
ern mechanical enterprise."
A French engineer who haa Just returned
from Mukden has, in an Interview with the
St. Petersburg correspondeat of the Petit
Parisian, expressed a very unfavorable
opinion of the condition of the Trans
Siberian railway. He concludes from his
own observation that the actual transport
of troops does not exceed 1,000 men per
day. He reckons that In the three months
during' which that transport has been ef
fected not more than 90,000 men have been
conveyed to the seat of war, and with
the Inadequate means at the disposal of
the authorities even that was a tour'de
force.
Bailee of Rnaslan Rale.
BERLIN. July 16. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Since the outbreak of the
Russo-Japanese war there haa been a
ateady flow of books dealing with every
possible phase of life In Japan, but until
last week nothing of any striking Import
ance dealing with Russia had come from
the publishers. But last week two books
one by a German and one by a Frenchman
-were Issued with the object of throwing
some' needed light on the affairs of the
great country over which the osar rules.
The unanimity with which the writers
agree as to the evils whloh beset Pussia
of the twentieth oentury Is extraordinary.
The outti of Russia are her rotten finan
cial system, the blind surrender of all the
affairs of the nation to a system of cen
tralisation which cripples all local Indi
vidual effort, and the enormous power of a
bloated bureaueraoy. A perusal of "Russia
of To-day," translated from the German of
Baron E. von dor Bruggon, and of "A
Russian-Chinese Empire," translated from
the French of Alexander TJlar, will con
vince even the most blind partisan of Rus
sia that the country Is In a desperate con
dition. "The Russian oligarchy," says M. TJlar,
"is, Imperatively driven to find an economic
base In the far east. Chinese Industry,
Mongolian and Manchuria gold, are to pro
Tide the sinews of war for an empire
which will be a repetition of the empire of
Kubla Kahn. The only alternative to the
realisation of thla dream Is ruin. The,
moment Russia ceases to be able to borrow
In Europe and America, her collapse, at
least as a European power, Is InevTtable."
"The strength of the nation is being
sapped," says Baron von der Bruggan.
"Dishonesty in the administration Is on
the Increase and In spite of railways and
telegraphs the government Is less able to
keep Its army of officials In order. This
exaggerated system of bureaucracy nat
urally leads to a condition of ansrchy,
which is today felt everywhere above and
below; Independent activity and national
Indepedencene are being ground to pow
der. Exam-pie of heonsetfse.
As an example of the evils of centraliza
tion and the Incapacity of the central gov
ernment Baron Ton der Bruggan quotes the
fate of the last Russian census.
During five years the commission ap
pointed for the working out of the accumu
lated material has given no sign of Ufa
beyond the fact that it la unable to oope
with the matter. During these five years
It has spent 4,000,000 and published
nothing.
The states of Livonia keep In their record
offices efficient and well-trained statistical
departments, so they asked the govern
ment to leave to them the working out of
matters relating to the census of Livonia.
The government would thus, at any rate,
have obtained a piece of work able to serve
as a-pattern and, moreover, free of coat.
But the request was refused. Such sepa
ratism could not be tolerated.
The csar appears to have no word In
thta matter, where mllllona are concerned,
yet, as can be seen by the Government
Messenger, he had time to give his august
attention to the case of a girl at eohool at
Reval whose delloats health made It un
desirable that she should be worried by
the learning of the "awful Oerman lan
guage," and an Imperial decree waa pub
lished exempting her from this trial.
"In conclusion." says the baron, "one
more example of the paper administration
of thla gigantic empire. Somebody haa
calculated that If one of the ministers were
to set out on a Journey abroad and accom
plish It all the offices In the empire would
be Informed of this event by official no
tices to the number of 17.000."

Washington already has Its Congressional
Limited and other famous trains, but ac
cording to present plans for Improvements
about the capital the Roll Call Limited, tlje
most novel train in the world, is soon to

DISCOVER NEW ANAESTHETIC
Renders Possible Msny Operations
Heretofore Considered Im
practicable. LONDON, July la (Special Cablegram
to The Bee,) The recent dlacovery of
eucaine, a powerful local anaesthetic, Is
looked upon as another sclentltlo triumph.
It will make possible operations which
might not otherwise take place owing to
heart weaknesses, for tho patient remains
conscious during Its use, although, of
course, thoee parts of the body to which
It is applied are Insensible to pain. It will
also give the surgeon time for his work
and do away with certain people's con
scientious objections to anaesthetics.
Although It can be used for amputations,
It will probably bs most useful for treat
ment of the thyroid glands. In such oper
ations the use of chloroform ia often lm.
practicable.
A successful operation of thla kind, which
was recently performed with eucaine In a
London hospital, lasted nearly an hour and
a half.
Eucaine Is Injected by a hypodennlo
needle under the skin where the Incision
Is to be made. After a few moments the
skin may be cut without the patient feel
ing anything. As different and deeper parts
are exposed the drug la dropped at Inter
vals of a few mluutes.
PROTECTION FOR ALL
Faoking Strikebreakers Will Be Given
Police Escort to and from Plants.
SATURDAY QUIET AND UNEVENTFUL
Day Devoid of Happenings Around the
Packing House District.
MANAGERS TALK OF STARTING ON MONDAY
Give Notice that They Will Resume Opera
tions on that Day.
MEN STILL CONFIDENT OF WINNING
Say that Every Day Slakes Them
Stronger snd that Importations
Are Not Hortlna; the Cnase
In the Least.
At a meeting held last evening the South
Omaha Board .of Fire and Police Com
missioners passed a resolution declaring
that all men who desire to go to work In
the packing houses, whether their resi
dence is in South Omaha or if they have
come from other cities, will be given pro
tection by the police in going to or com
ing from the packing houses. The police
will also disperse all crowds congregating
on the streets and trespassers on private
property will be arrested. The board wants
fifteen more special policemen to go to
work on Monday morning.
Saturday closed the fifth day of the
packing house strike. The best of order
prevailed, and there has been no drinking
to speak of among the unemployed. The
atrikera maintain pickets and every move
ment made by the packers that oan be
seen is promptly reported to headquarters.
Some of the pickets during the day brought
strike breakers into headquarters, where
the situation was explained. With very
little hesitation the newcomers left tho
city without. applying for work at the pack
ing plants.
Men Taken to Plant.
About 10 o'clock twenty-five men from
branch houses arrived at the Cudahy plant.
These men met In Omaha and with At
torney Tom Crelgh as pilot, boarded a
special motor train. At A street the cur
was met by Chief of Police Brlggs, who
occupied a front seat. The car was run to
Thirty-third and Q streets without any
trouble and the branch house men marched
in -a body to the plant. This was all done
in plain sight of committees of the strik
ers and not a protest was uttered aloud.
Some of these men are practical packing
house men, while half a dozen are butchers,
the balance being made up of salesmen and
office men. In addition to these twenty
five men, eight men came down from
Omaha In a wagon and were not molested
or stopped by the pickets of the strikers.
Advices from Mr. Cudahy, who
la In Chicago attending the arbitration
meetings, are to the effect that another
conference with President Donnelly Is be
ing held.
General Manager Howe of Armour's has
brought in quite a number of branch house
men and during the forenoon acquired
twenty additional laborers. "Gangs In each
department are being Increased dally," aald
Mr. - Howe. He expects the plant will bo
running ffl pretty fair shape by Monday.
According to reports Swift ordered 600
loaves of bread from Markey, the baker
at Twenty-fourth and F streets. The union
bakers In the Markey place refused to
fill the order and Manager Patterson had
to look elsewhere for bread.
A party of twenty-five harvest hands was
shipped to the western Nebraska wheat
fields Friday. Another larger delegation
waa shipped last evening for the same
section. Among the harvest hands were
some of the South Omaha packing house
atrikera
Announcement from Packers.
Late Saturday afternoon the packers an
nounced that they would take back what
skilled workmen they can use If applica
tion la made before 8 o'clock Monday morn
ing. The atatement la made by the pack
ers that some of the places of skilled work
men have been filled and all of the skilled
men who walked out Tuesday cannot at
once secure work. The packers assert that
they propose opening their plants on Mon
day morning and will operate all of the
departments. As rapidly as men return
to work the si so of the gangs will be in
creased.
'Things are shaping themselves nicely,"
said General Manager Howe of Armour's
last night. "The packers are gaining every
day and business Is getting better."
It Is expected by the packers that men
enough will be on hand Monday to clean up
the receipts at the yards In short order.
Mr. Howe declared that he did not Intend
to bring men here from other cities, as he
Is Inclined to think that enough men can
be secured In South Omaha for the time
being.
Order Will Be Maintained.
George W. Mas son, chairman of the Firs
and Police commission, had thla to say re
garding the strike: "If a man really wanta
to go to work and asaerts that he cannot
get Into a packing house through fear of
being molested, the police will escort the
man or men to the gates of the plant de
sired. We propose to keep order and see
to It that men who are anxious bo work are
given an opportunity to do so."
Aside from the twenty-five men escorted
to Cudahys yesterday by Chief Brlggs,
only one man was taken in during the
afternoon. This man applied to the chief
to see him safely to the Omaha's gate and
this was done. The strikers did not make
any demonstration. They merely looked on
and said not a word. This ahowa under
what discipline the men are being held by
the leaders.
While speaking of discipline It might be
well to mention that from Sunday, July 10,
until Saturday night, July 16. the police
made only twenty-two arrests, and not one
of ths men arrested waa a striker. Chief
Brlggs aald that It had been the quleteat
week in police drclea that he remembers.
Men Are Confldent.
At labor headquarters last rtsht the best
of feeling prevailed. Those who gathered
there appeared to be confldent that their
cause would win In the end. Aa for the
pack ere sending for men from branch
houses to work In the plant, the atrikera
appeared to care very little. "Such men,"
said a prominent leader, "will not hurt our
cause In the least, aa they know little or
nothing of the details of a parking house.
The result will be that such men will
really do mors harm than good. Another
thing, they are soft In the muscles and
cannot stand manual labor. In two or
three dsys these men will have to be pot
on- the shelf to rest their hands and feet.
Now Just watch and see If I am not right."

VIRGINIA COMPANY IN TROUBLE
Trctlon Coinpnny Operating; In Rich
mond nnd Other Towns Has
Receiver.
RICHMOND, Va, July lt-The Virginia
Passenger and Power company, embracing
the Richmond Passenger and Power 'com
pany and the Richmond Traction company,
waa plated In the hands of receivers today
by Judge Waddell of the United States
district court upon petition of the Bowling
Green Trust company. William Northrup
and Henry T. WIckham were named as
receivers.
Neither has yet qualified and Mr. Wick
ham hesitates to accept. The Virginia
Passenger and Power company is capital
ized at $15,000,000 and operates In three
Virginia cities Richmond, Manchester and
Petersburg. Frank Jay Gould Is the ma.
Jority stockholder.
A suit brought by George E. Fisher of
New York for a receivership la now being
argued In the state circuit court at Peters
burg, the defendants claiming that there la
no necessity for receivership.
The explanation of the application to
a T'nlted States court for the appointment
of a receiver In the case of the street car
properties Is that it was made by the
Gould interest to prevent, it Is claimed, the
disintegration of the properties. The re
ceivers, as appointed, have accepted and
qualified.

JAPS ARE CLOSING UP
Armies of General Oku and Nodru Have
Joined at Tang Chi, Near TaTche Kiao,

Extra Precautious Being Taken Owing to
the Fact that Kouropatkin is Near,
INVADERS ARE ENTRENCHING POSITIONS
Russians Are Beginning to Open Their
lyes and Doubt Story of Jap Losses,
OFFICIAL DENIAL RECEIVED FROM T0KI0
Russia Still Hopes that While There)
Is a Discrepancy la the Figures
that Enemy Has Suffered
Repulse.
(Copyright by New York Herald Co., 1904.)
ST. PKTKKSUUiia, Saturday, July Is.
(New York Herald Cablegram Special
Telegram to The Be.) The Japanese are
advancing upon Ta Tche Kiao, where Gen
eral Kouropatkln In person apparently In
tends to take htsua with the enemy for
the first time.
Artlllury Are was opened by the Japa
nese on Wednesday, evidently for tho pur
pme of trying to find the position of the
Russian batteries, whloh, understanding
the object, did not reply by a single shot.
Tbe Japanese after thai gave up the ad
vance upon the main road, reverting to
their usual tactics of outflanking and thus
tuning the positions as they did at Kal
Chau.
The Kuus, in a special dispatch from Ta
Tche Kiao, says the position Is very
strongly fortified and the Japanese are not
likely to take it unless they can largely
outnumber the garrison. It remurks with
amusing confidence that the presence
there of General Kouropatkln must have
had a demoralising effect upon the Japa
nese. The taking of Ylnkow haa not been of
ficially confirmed, but la accepted generally
ac a fact. One military' critic prognosti
cates that tbe Japanese will utilise the
mouth of the Llao river to bring up pro
vtRlons in a northern direction to the
projected scene of operations near Llao
Yang.
At Port Arthur the siege operations are
being pushed along actively. Two more
Japanese divisions have landed at Dalney,
while Field Marshal Oyama and several
officers who took part in the capture of tbe
fort ten years ago are working on plans
for lta capture. Another report announces
that Oyama has gone to Join Kurokl, whosa
forces are gradually creeping northward
along the valleys. Kurokl has 106,000 men
and 326 guns. Oku haa 05,000 men and 251
guns. Nodzu, before tho divisions men
tioned above arrived.) had 80,000 men and
180 guns.
The Runs publishes a remarkable state
ment, which If true Is of high political Im
portance. It is to the effect that England
proposes to evacuate Wei Hal Wei and
hand it over to Oermany. In exchange
England will get what It so long haa been
seeking the Yang Tse Klung valleys as
Its exclusive sphere of Influence. '
Japs Closing I' p.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 16.-1:30 p. m.
The Japanese are continuing to advance on
Tatcheklao, following a solentlflo plan, and
entrenching their positions aa they move
forward. They appear to be taking extra
precautions in the case of Tatcheklao on
account of their knowledge that General
Kouropatkln Is there personally.
According to a dispatch from Lieutenant
General Sakaharoff, dated July 16, and
given out today, the wings of General
Oku'a and Nodsu'a armies have Joined at
Tang Chi, ten miles southeast of Tatcheklao.
The Japanese are also reported to havo
occupied the fortifications at Plutzau,
about seven miles north of Kla Ping, anil
were still proceeding toward New Chwang,
which had not been occupied July 16. A
detachment of General Kurokl's fores Is
reported to have reached the village of
Tsshakehe, forty miles east of Llao Yang,
on the Feng Wang Cheng high road.
