AUGUST IS THE MONTH When a progressive store lets go its hold on profits for the general good of all eon- cerned—you, and all your friends and acquaintances. It is a sensational month, so‘ far as low prices and quick selling goes—everything is tumbled into the lap of August. The numerous rains have sprouted a fresh lot of Um- brellas, splendid g r ad es, which seem to thrive, and prosper on low prices—that’s what they‘ll sell for : Ladies’, congo silk, ring and hook handles, 26-in. for $1.25 and $51.50. ' Then there’s the newest kinds, of union twilled silk with golf handles, for $2.50. SPECIAL. Men’s umbrellas, 28—in. with handsome horn handles, $1.00. r. White Waists never hit the popular fancy at a more pre— pitious time} than now. Prices have been reduced to such an extent that they’re within reach of everyone—— $1.00 quality for 59 cents, and so on all through the numerous grades. In a quiet sort of way Separate Skirts are doing lots of good—they’re selling so reasonable. Somehow they seem to be such a substantial underpinning for all the filigrees which constitute a fetching summer costume. The annual sale of Dolls has quickened the longing hearts of little ones, they’re here by. ones, twos, threes and dozens—bound to have the prettiest. From a dollar down to 5 cents, that’s the way the prices run—every doll is worth double what we ask for it; doesn’t cost much to spread joy throughout the length and breadth of the city, childwise. ITIINTIQtIIIPLIIIIIIII. Foreigners In China Issue an Earnest Appeal to the World. REPRISALS ARE DEMANDED. Diplomacy Is Declared to Be Useless In the Circumstances —— England and America Are Asked to Send Immediate Ultimatums. TIEN—TSIN, China, Aug. 13,—A meeting _of the foreign residents of this city was held here today. It was decided to com- municate by cable the necessity of imme- diate intervention in China upon behalf of the United States and British govern- ments, and the following telegram was, according to a. resolution by the meeting, addressed to the press as an expression of the sentiments of the foreign residents of Tien-tsin, and as an appeal to the peo« ple of the United States for assistance: “The foreign community of Tien-tsin express sympathy with the friends of the Ku-Chang victims. They consider the Chinese officials guilty, and the British and Americans blame the continued apathy of their governments for the situ- ation. They regard England’s demands for an inquiry into the Ku—Chang massa- cre to be useless, for, as before, the officials will buy innocent heads and substitutes for the actual criminals. They protest that the Szechuen commission implicated the officials of that province, and thereon England and America must send an ulti- matum threatening reprisals. Diplomacy is useless. We implore attention. “ DICKENSON, Chairman. ” liIr. Adee’s Statement. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.——-Acting Secre- tary Adee of the state department was very busy today. He hastily scanned the cable from Tien-tsin, and after saying nothing of the kind had been received at the state department announced that he had nothing to say further than was con- tained in the following statement, which was furnished the press: “The state department has received a reply from Minister Denby to the instruc- tion cabled him on the 7th inst. relative to the reported looting of American mis- sionary property at Yung-Fuh, near Fu- chau. Mr. Denby urgently represented the facts to the Yamen on the 10th and ob- tained instant promise of protection and redress. “Yung—Fuh is believed by the officers Sung-Fuh and Inghok, mentioned in the press telegrams, the variations in the name being doubtless due to erroneous transmission over the Transsiberian cable, in the course of which many transcriptions and repetitions are necessary. ” Acting Secretary McAdoo of the navy read the dispatch with a great deal of in- terest, and to show that the navy depart- ment was doing all it could to oo-operate with the state department and to place the American warships in China waters where they would be available for the pro- tection of American interests be dictated the following: “The navy department received today from Admiral Carpenter a cablegram an- nouncing that he had dispatched the De- point for that vessel to reach the scene of the recent disturbances. A cable was re- the Detroit, announcing his arrival today at Pagoda, which is anchorage about nine miles below the city of Fuchnu.. Carpenter at Chem. “Another cable was received from Ad-. miral Carpenter, announcing his depar- ture from Nagasaki for Chefu, China. Chefu is the nearest and best port] for communication with the American minis- ter at Peking. “The department has again today cabled Admiral Carpenter regarding matters in China, and advising him to keep in close and constant communication with Minis- ter Denby. ” The dispatch from Minister Denby is of very little importance in the way of fur- nishing information, but indicates that the American minister does not share the views of other citizens in China, who think that reprisals should be made. It is claimed that all that could be done by the department has been done, unless the pol- icy of the department is to begin hostili- ties every time there shall be trouble with American citizens in any foreign land. It is said that the only way possible for this government to proceed is through its diplomatic ofiicers, the manner in which we should require a foreign government to proceed in case property or lives of for- eigners in this country were in danger or destroyed. . A high official of the navy said today that it would not be right for the United States war vessels to begin bombarding Chinese towns and killing Chinese people who are entirely innocent because these riots have taken place in the interior, es- pecially when the Chinese government has already assured our minister that every- thing possible is being done to prevent further trouble and to bring the ofienders to justice. Funeral of Justice Jackson. NASHVILLE, Aug. 13.—The funeral of Justice Howell Edmunds Jackson occur- red today at' Belle Meade, the famous home of his brother, General W. H. Jack- son, in the presence of many distinguished men. The services were conducted by Rev. J. H. McNeilly of the Presbyterian church and Rev. B. L. Cave of the Christian church. The Cuban Rebellion. MADRID, Aug. 13.—The mobilizing of the army reserve continues, in some cases against the will of the reserves.

The Accidental Speaker of the House’ef Commons Ito-elected. LONDON, Aug. 13.——Thc house was crowded with an animated throng of mem- bers when, at 2 o’clock, the yeoman usher of the black red requested the attendance of the house of commons in the house of lords to hear the reading by the royal com- mission of the preclamation opening the session of parliament. Many memlars of the house of com- mons went to hear the reading. After . their return to their own house the senior clerk arose and pointed to Mr. Mowbray, who had been selected to move the re-elec- tion of Mr. William Court Gully as speak or of the house. At that moment the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury, and the Right Hon. Sir William Harcourt, chan- cellor of the exchcquer. in the last admin- SPEAKER GULLY. istration, arrived together and took their seats, Mr. Balfour on a front govern- ment bench and Sir William on a front bench on the opposition side of the house. As they entered they were greeted with cheers by their respective followers. Im- mediately thereafter the Right Hon. Jo- seph Chamberlain, the leader of the Lib- eral-Unionists, entered and was loudly cheered by the government supporters, while groans ascended from the members occupying the Irish benches. The scene was a brilliant one. The sun streamed through the windows of the house, changing its usual dull aspect into one of light and warmth. The diplomats’, ladies’ and strangers’ galleries were crowd- ed with distinguished visitors who watch- ed the prdceedings with close attention. Mr. Mowbray, in moving the re-olection of Speaker Gully, said he rejoiced that Mr. Gully would be ro-elected without a dis- senting voice. Mr. Mowbray extolled Mr. Gully’s im- partiality, vigilance and promptitude and his courtesy to every member of the house. He asked the house to elect Mr. Gully, who was an able and conscientious man, irrespective of party considerations. Mr. Thomas Edward Ellis, first Liberal whip, seconded the motion, and Mr. Gully was then formally re—electcd without oppo- sition. . Mr. Gully thanked the house for the honor it had conferred upon him, especial- ly in being proposed by both the govern- ment parties and the opposition. Contin- uing, he said that to be impartial was the least difficult though the most important duty of the speaker. He looked in his general conduct in the chair to that spirit of justice and good sense which always distinguished the house in its relations with the chair. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Gully’s re- marks, Mr. Balfour, in the name of the house, congratulated him upon his re- election. Racing \Vithout Betting Doesn’t_Pay. BUFFALO, Aug. 13.———The Buffalo grand circuit meeting has progressed just far enough to convince those most interested in it financially that light harness racing without pools cannot be carried on suc- cessfully in this state. The present meet- ing, which is now half ever, has afi'ordcd sport to those interested in pure racing for better than any afforded in past years, but pecuniarily it is a failure. New Kind of Bandits at Niagara. NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 13.-——Five high- waymen tried to rob the passengers on the Clifton House omnibus right at the hotel door.

The robbers failed and were chased. Circuit Races Postponed.

Probably Responsible For Ireland Building’s Collapse. STILL ANOTHER BODY FOUND Fourteen Persons Now Known to Have Been Killed, and There Are Evidences That More Are In the Ruins—Bes- cuers Hard at Work. NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-—-—The number of victims of the Ireland building disaster in West Third street foots up 13 today, with at least four or five missing ones yet to be heard from. Two bodies that were taken out of thc ruins yesterday lie unidentified yet in the Mercer Street station. They are . so much disfigured that their identity may never be more than guessed at. From certain signs the delvers in the Wreck believe that they will yet find bod- ies toward the northwest corner of that building under a mass of iron beams that have fallen there in a tangle and seeming- ly inextricable mass. * The employees of the health department are busy at that corner, which is just un- der the sidewalk next the front wall of the building, scattering disinfectants early and late. The digging crew is heading toward the point, but so much wreckage has yet to be removed, and it is such a dangerous and delicate task that it may take two or three days before it is reached and the full extent of the loss~0f life is known. Wrecking Contractor Galligan’s men were rigging a block and tackle today over the partly excavated pit to assist in removing the iron beams. A heavy beam had been thrown across the gap, and the tackle was made fast to that. It has to be worked by hand, however. No other power can be used for fear of jarring the shaky walls. These have been shored thoroughly on both South Fifth avenue and Third street, but the lofty height of the unsupported walls makes the greatest caution necessary. Seeking the Cause. Down in the depths a gang of men were . busily uncovering the foundations of the center pillar, which fell and brought the whole section down with it. Superintend- ent Constable of the department of build- ings watched the progress of the work with a cerps of draftsmcn. ‘ Every hour a kodak was brought into requisition, and the hole was photographed. These pictures are to figure as important evidence at the proceedings against the contractors and before the coroner’s jury. Mr. Constable said that he expected to be able to demonstrate by an official in- spect-ion of the wreck just what caused the collapse. Meanwhile his men dug deeper and deeper down to the concrete foundation of the pillar, and when they had reached that out around it and below it the supposed hardpan upon which it rests. The fallen pillar lay exposed in the pit. Enough had been disclosed yesterday to show that nothing ailed the pillar itself. It had apparently been driven with its foundation bodily downward. _ In other words, it had sunk, and the support being thus gone the superstruc- turefell as a matter of course. The snap- ping of the iron work was apparently a mere incident of the fall, and not the cause of it. All that is known or has been found out so far points directly to the explanation advanced on Thursday, that quicksand will be found to underlie the foundation. It has been found everywhere else in that neighborhood. The Troublesome Quicksand. Over in the University building, on the east side of Washington square, the build- ers had to dig down 35 feet to get beyond it to hardpan. The foundation of the fall- en pillar in« the Ireland building was, ac- cording to Mr; Constable, only 10 feet 6 inches below the main floor—that is, the street level. There may have been appar- ent hardpan there, yet a dangerous bed of quicksand six or a dozen feet below it. It was the builder’s business to make sure of' that by boring, and that duty be- came in that neighborhood an imperative one. Whether it was done or not the build- ing department is trying to ascertain. It has an immediate interest in it, since its inspector on duty there should have found out while it was yet time. The inspection will show conclusively also whether there is anything in the state- ment of the oysterman next door that the foundation was laid in frozen concrete. He has made that assertion flatly, and it has been as flatly contradicted. It is ar- gued that the frozen concrete would have thawed out early enough to let the build‘ ing down in May, rather than in August. At present the quicksand theory obtains about the fallen building. Ezeta Proclaims Some More. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.—General An- tonio Ezeta has issued another proclama- tion to the citizens of San Salvador, in which he says he will soon return to the country to lead a revolt against the govern- ment. The army is discontented, he says, and will welcome him back as its leader. Ezeta declares that President Guiterrez is the tool of Guatemala, the old time we my of San Salvador.
