PARIS ELECTRICIANS"" STRIKE
Capital of France Planned Into Dark
ness Whlrfe I.nsts Two Honrs,
When Work Is Resumed.
PARIS, Aug. 7. Paris was plunged Into
darkness for two hours tonight because of
an attempt of electrician to carry out a
general strike similar to that of March,
19u7,- Shortly before 9 o'clock the current
was abruptly cut off. This caused the
greatest Inconvenience In hotels and res
taurants, a majority of which are almost
entirely dependent upon electricity for their
lights. Thero was a recurrence of the
scene of last year when the lights were ex
tinguished, the diners finishing meal by
the glimmering glare of candle stuck In
bottles. Most of the theaters rc closed
for the summer season, but the Theater
Francals and a number of music halls
were compelled to abandon their programs
and dismiss audiences owing to darkness.
Consternation reigned' In tho newspaper
offices, which were threatened with the
deprivation of both light and power with
which to run their presses. Urgent pies
sages were dispatched to various part of
the city, for engines and automobiles with
which It was Intended to generate power.
To the great relief of all persons concerned,
however, the supply of electricity was re
lumed shortly after 10 o'clock as abruptly
as It had ceased.
It appears that when they came on duty
the night shift, without the slightest warn
ing, announced their Intention to' cease
work and cut off the power. The directors
of the plant refused to be Intimidated and
threatened Instant dismissal to all the
electricians who persisted In the attitude
they had taken. After deliberating for
some time tne workmen gave In and re
lumed work.
It transpired that the strike was care
fully organized by Pataud, secretary of
the electricians' union, who this afternoon
sent a notice to every member ot the unlmi
ordering him to stop before 10 p. m. and
to remain In the factory to prevent the
employment of outside help. The action
was taken as a protest to the government's
employment of troops during the recent
disorders at Vlgneux.

TRIUMPH-TOR YOUNG 'TURKS
New Ministry ia Practically Com
posed of Their Nominees.
KIAMIL PASHA GRAND VIZIER
Man Thrice Exiled for Liberal
Opinions Heads Cabinet. It Also
Contains One Armenian
and One Greek.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 7. The young
Turks have nqw,. completely triumphed. A
new cabinet, practically composed of their
own nominees and commanding public con
fidence, is established on a constitutional
basis, the sultan, having given up his claim
to the right to appoint the ministers of
war and marine, ' Klamll Pasha, who for
the third .tlrae become grand vlsier,
throughout his career has struggled tor a
constitutional . regime and thrice has suf
fered exile for ( tils opinion.
His ministry, with two exceptions, is com
posed of new men of liberal views. Two
of them are Christians. Gabriel Effendl,
the minister of works. Is an Armenian, and
Prince Mavcomordato, the minister of agri
culture, Is a Orefk. The principal members
ot the new cabinet follow:
Jemalladlm Effendl, the shelk-ul-lslam ami
the minister of foreign affairs retain their
portfolios; Reshed Aklt Pasha, Vail of
Slvaa, minister of the Interior; Redjoh
Pasha, Vull of Tripoli, minister of war;
Arir Pasha, minister of murine; Zla Pashu.
minister of finance, and Hassan Fehml
Pasha, minister of Justh-e.
The new mlrjistry will publish its pro
gram almost Immedistely and prepare for
the elections.
Within the space of a fortnight since the
proclamation of the conatitutlon, a new
regime appears to be firmly established and
the court camarilla completely dispersed
without any disturbance of order. The
Young Turk committee publishes a docu
ment calllr.g on the people not to attempt
to satisfy personal vengeance on the ground
that the Indulgence of personality Is op
posed to Its sublime Ideal. It calls on all
the government officials to do their duty
snd to report to the committee any difficul
ties which they may encounter In so doing.
The document prohibits all private com
munications with the palace and urges the
people to trust tho conijilttee and obey It
Implicitly.
The new British ambassador, In driving
In state today to present his credentials to
the sultan, received a tremendous popular
ovation. His speech to the sultan conveyed
the warm congratulations of the lirltlsli
government and tho nation to Abdul Ilamld
In his wise decision In establishing a con
stitutional government. All heads of gov
ernment have been Invited to meet at the
selamalik tomorrow. At Smyrna today a
delegation of troops, which had Just re
turned from Salonika, opened the
prisons and liberated all criminals, even
those urjder sentence of death, and then
marched through the town holding a peace
ful demonstration In favor of the constitu
tion. Record of New Cabinet Good.
The proclamation committee of the Union
of Progress has expressed Its satisfaction
with the composition of tho new mlnUtry,
and has btgged Ihe people to case their
manifestations nd permit those entrusted
with matters of government to proceed
with their labors. According to the com
mittee, there Is no member of the present
cabinet., whose record is not good.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Treasurer Melcher Completes
Monthly Report.
SWIFTS WELL ENLARGE PLANT
Preparations Under War to Complete
Second Section of Beef Killing;
Department John Flti
arcrald Dead.
City Treasurer C. A. Melcher Issued his
monthly report Thursday. This report,
covering all money received and disbursed
during the month, whether for general ex
penses or for special Improvements, reveal
receipt to the amount ot 23,000 tin round
numbers and disbursements amounting to
119,000. The net cash balance t 176, 270. 69.
Of this sum $220,000 Is set aside for special
Improvement of paving, grading and
sewer work. Another $60,000 will be added
within a few days from the sale of bonds
for the Improvement of Intersection and
for the completion of the South Omaha
sewer system. The city clerk Is looking
for the blank bonds from the Emory
Anderson company within a few day. A
soon as these bonds receive the signature
of the mayor and the clerk th money
will be available.
It Is expected that as soon as the sewer
funds are made sufficient the contractors
having these contrscts will begin the sev
eral branches of the sewer system which
could not be touched before. These
branches are the Jetter creek sewer, the
north branch of the N street gulch sewer
and the Highland park sewer. These
sewers are much needed. On many of the
streets the sewer facilities are entirely
lacking. In other the sanitary sewer are
connected with the storm water sewers
direct, with no assured outlet, which shall
conserve the health of the community.
Additional Facilities for Swift.
Swift and Company, after two weeks of
preliminary preparations, are now ready to
resume the construction of the second sec
tion of the beef killing' department. The
first section has been In operation for over
a year. The market ha been such during
the laat six months or so as to make the
completion of this building not absolutely
necessary. For this reason the company
has not made any energetic efforts In thst
direction. From the present, however, the
work will be pushed with force enough to
make the construction move fsst enough to
be economical.
The condition of the market has caused
a change of plans for the esrly use of the
building st lesst. It will be provided with
a hog-kllllng apparatus. The hog and cat
tle departments will, therefore, be run by
the ssme driving apparatus and an economy
ef.ected. As soon as the condition of the
msrket warrants the whole building will
be put In use for the beef killing depart
ment. Lyric tl healer Fine.

POLICYHOLDERS RESIST PLAN
Proposed Equitable Building; Thou
sand Feet Hla May Not
lie Constructed.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7 The building de
partment today officially approved thn
plans for the proposed sixty-two-story
building designed for the Equitable Life
Assursnce society to replace Its present
building on Brosdway. The plan were
filed with the department on June 29 last
by the firm of D. H. Burnham A Co., Chi
cago architects. The bulldng Is designed
to cover the Broadway block bounded by
Nassau, Pine and Cedar streets. Although
the plans hsve been approved It la still
doubtful if the. thousand-foot skyscraper
will ever be occupied by the Equitable, for
a controversy has arisen over, the sdvlna
blllty of such a move. The officials of
the society have Just issued a statement
to the effect that they have not yet come
to any definite decision regarding a new
building. When the Intention of putting up
the sixty-two-story structure wss first an
nounced It evoked much rrltltism on the
part of the policyholders, who objected to
the expenditure.
Some of the Isrgest policyholders have
submitted to the society as an alternative
propoasl thst of selling the present build
ing and site, which are valued anywhere
from $18,000,000 to $20,OrO,COO, and of then
erecting a building much further tip town'
at a cost for site and construction of about
$6.0UO.OUO or $6,000,000. the balance of the
money to be distributed among the policy,
holders. It Is understood that this alterna
tive plan will come up for consideration
before the directors when they hold their
next meeting In the fsll,
Psul Morton, prrsident of the society, has
cslled attention to the fact that the pres
ent building yield so small an Income,
something under t per cent, that Its dlrap
pearance la prsctically decided upon, but
nothing Is settled as yet as to th nature
or site of th structure which U to b
erevied In Its stead.
