RAIL STRIKE IS ON MPN THROUftHOUT COUNTRY dtliT, FOLLOWING ORDER OF THEIR LEADERS. SENATOR ON RACK INQUIRY INTO 8TEPHENSON ELECTION It STARTED. QUIET EXODUS ON THE I. C. Chicago Authorities Prepare to Han­ dle Emergency--Reports From Other Cities Show Great Industrial Walkout Order Is Obeyed. Chicago. -- The big railroad strike is uwer way. It started official­ ly when many employes on the Illinois Central and the Harriman lines re­ fused to resume work when. In re­ sponse to the orders sent out last week, thousands of men in shops all over the system laid down their work­ ing tools and marched out. There was little excitement at the Burnside shops of the Illinois Central when the walkout order went Into effect. The men began to leave the works promptly at 10 o'clock, coming out in groups of six or seven. As the men left the works they passed through the crowd gathered along the tracks without stopping to talk to them. Practically cH of these men who left the shops went directly to their homes. There was no move­ ment toward the saloons and they were practically deserted ear!y in the i day immediately after the strike. I Ret ween 3,00> to 3,500 men left the I Burnside shops before 11 a. m. They i included machinists, boilermakers, car > men, painters, carpenters and pit men : in their ranks. ' Expecting trouble before the day Is over, the police of three stations are on the qui vive and prepared to han­ dle any emergency. The walkout followed the strike or­ der sent out by J. W. Kline, president of the International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths and Helpers, calling for "all crafts to strike, and for "every man to do his duty." The strike dispatch was sent to the following places, which shows its di­ mensions: Central. 111.; Memphis. Tenn.; Oakland. Cal.; Birmingham, Ala.; Freeport, 111.; Paducah. Ky.; Oak Park, Cal.; Houston. Tex.; Port­ land, Ore.; El Paso, Tex.; Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo.; Beaumont, Tex.; Cheyenne, Wyo.; East St. Louis, 111.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Sacra­ mento, Cal.; Ea»t Bakersfleld, Cal.; Los Angeles, Cal.; Sparks. Neb.; Mc- Comb. Miss.; San Antonio. Tex.; North Platte, Neb., and Tucson. Ariz. Roughly estimated the number of men expected to sever their connec­ tion, temporarily at least, with the Illinois Central and the Harriman lines, runs to 30.000, and they cover a territory embraced in fifteen states throughout the west and south. The figures in this connection are as fol­ lows: Machinists 10.000 Boilermakers 4.000 Blacksmiths 3.000 Carmen 11,000 Clerks 1,000 Miscellaneous workers 1,000 Total 30.000 New Orleans, La. -- General Su­ perintendent Clifts of the Illinois Central has announced that the gen­ eral freight office will accept freight and that tbe clerical force is ample to handle It.

Sub-Committee of 8enate Who WHIJfi» veetigate Election Composed of 9 Democrats and 3 Republicans. Milwaukee, W1b. -- Sensations afca- liar to those develpoed In the Lori- mer Inquiry may come during the tn- v*sttgatlon into the election of United States 8enator Isaac* Stephenson of this state, which began here today. The sub-committee ot the senate com­ mittee on privileges and elections, which Is conducting the Inquiry, Is com­ posed of Senators Heyburn of Idaho, chairman; Bradley of Kentucky. Suth­ erland of Utah. Republicans, and Paynter of Kentucky and Pomerene of Ohio, Democrats. It was appointed at the last session of congres%, when Senator Stephenson admitted In the publication of his election expenses that he had spent 1107,000 to insure his election to the United States sen­ ate. "Unc'e Ike." as Senator Stephenson Is familiary known, is apparently not worrying about the results of the in­ vestigation. He freely admits spend­ ing the money, but insists that all his expenditures were well witbin the limits of the law. The senator's friends say that the mere fact of his complying with the state laws and publishing the full extent of his cam­ paign expenses proves his honesty. Senator Stephenson is one of the rich­ est men in the middle west. His for­ tune is estimated at $20,000,000, and he owns one of the finest dairy farms in the United States. He is over eighty-two years old, and has been identified with politics ever since the accumulation of his fortune. He has always been noted for hla extreme lib­ erality In support of his party.

MAY MEAN A RELIGIOUS WAR Possibility That Conflagration 8tarted in the East Will Spread Over the World--Turkey 8aid to Be Mobilizing Entire Army. Tripoli.---Italy's squad ron, which had been blockading the port, began a bombardment of the city at ten o'clock September 30. This action followed tee refusal ot the Turkish officials to permit a peace­ ful landing and occupation of the town. The government at Constantinople changed its decision not to defend Tripoli, and war in reality seems cer­ tain to be the result. Appeal for Religious War. Tbe Ottoman officials will attempt to stir the Arabs and other Mohamme­ dans into action and create a religious war. Mahmoud Schefket Pasha, minister of war, telegraphed to the Turkish commandant at Tripoli to defend the territory with his utmost energy and to appeal to the religion of the peo­ ple. It is probable the Italian declaration of war and the attack upon the Turk- ten torpedo boat destroyers at Pre- vesa decided the Turkish government to reverse its position of non-resist­ ance. Landing of Italian Troops. London.--Telegrams from Tripoli describe events after the Italian land­ ing. The message concludes: "The governor general of Tripoli is­ sued an order to his troops not to open fire first when the Italians ap­ proach. Benghazi and Derna decided not to oppose the landing of the Ital­ ians." Two destroyers, the Garbaldi and Lancier, landed officers. The officers visited the Italian consul general and the latter subsequently visited his British colleague and asked leave for the few remaining Italians to find ref­ uge on a vessel in the harbor. This request was granted. Great Panic In Town. "This announcement caused a great panic. Men, women and children rushed along the streets In great con­ fusion, carrying all of their belongings on which they could lay hold In the brief time at their disposal.

Rome.--General Caneva was re­ ceived by Foreign Minister Di San Giuliano and the ministers of war and the navy and received his final instructions before leaving for Naples to asume command of the expedition to Tripoli. He also saw Premier Giolltti, who counseled firmness, asserting that Italy's rights and intentions should be accompanied, however, with ex­ treme caution to avoid unnecessary bloodshed or incidents which might cause complications. The premier said the government was ready to place at the general's disposal all the means necessary to reach the desired object with the least possible losses. He closed by saying: "All Italy wishes to follow the ex­ pedition, all Italian hearts beat for their brave brothers who are risking their lives to uphold the country's dignity and prestige." Charter Vessels as Transports. All the mail steamers chartered for the expedition have been fitted out for the transportation of troops and va­ cated by their owners' officers and crews, who have been replaced by naval officers and sailors. Only the regular engineers of the lines remain at their posts. The soldiers who are going to the front have been instructed in regard to the religion and superstitions of the people of Tripoli. The government has taken this action in order to im­ press the Trlpolitans with the true meaning of Italy's action arid the sol­ diers have been given strict orders to re­ spect the susceptibilities of the people and make them understand that Italy means to bring the advantages of civ­ ilization to Tripoli. The soldiers have been instructed to make this view manifest to the Trl­ politans and do it in such a way as not to hurt their feelings. The declaration of war has been received with enthusiasm in all parts of the country. Turkey Mobilizes Army. Constantinople.--A general army mobilization has been ordered in all the provinces. From all parts of the interior of the empire, from the sheikhs and Mussulmans of Tripoli, tery telegrams have been received by the sultan, expressing their readiness to shed every drop of blood for Islam. At Saloniki bloody encounters have occurred between the authorities and the Italians desirous of leaving. Simi­ lar scenes are reported from other big centers. An anti-Italian* boycott has begun In many cities. Nlazl Bey. and EJnver Bey, heroes of the revolution, an­ nounce their readiness to march with numerous volunteers to Tripoli. 8hark Held to Nozzle, While the dredge Zeta was working lately at Gosford, New South Wales, the suction pipe became choked.

ESTIMATE THAT TWO HUNDRED si Heavy Loss Of Life af Austin, Pa., Caused by Collapse of Concrete Dam. WIDE FINANCIAL RUIN Disaster the Greatest of Its Kind the Country Has Known Since the Bursting of the Dam at Johnstb\wn in 1889--State Police 3ent to Patrol the Afflicted Towns. Austin, Pa.--According to the best advices obtainable the loss of life that overwhelmed the town of Austin through the giving way of the dam of the Bayliss Pulp and Paper company will total at least 200. This estimate was made by Chief of Police D. E. Balcer, who knew all tbe inhabitants of the little town, after hetiad made a second revision of his hastily gathered census of the survivors and completed his pitiful little problem in subtrac­ tion. The property loss will exceed $6,000,- 000, and It is the general opinion that the town never will be rebuilt. Two, at least, of tbe large plants never will be rebuilt, and a majority of the busi­ ness men of the place have been ruined financially. State Police Guard Ruins. A battalion of state police surround the town and no person without a pass was permitted to enter. Reports from Costello and points farther down the Sinnemahoning grow more encouraging. At Costello, while there was a heavy financial loss, it was said that not more than three persons were dead. Beyond that point no fatalities had been reported. Homeless Given Shelter. The homeless have all be provided with shelter. On the outskirts of Aus­ tin are a number of houses which were vacated by workers in the Good­ year mill when that plant was disman­ tled. These houses have been filled with homeless people. Tbe residents of Keating Sumtnlt have taken in the others, several hundred in number. Provisions continue to arrive In large quantities and there will be no suffer­ ing for lack of food. Many evidences of the tremendous power of the flood were seen ~by the workers in the town. Engines weigh­ ing 26 tons had been rolled along the ground, an immense steel hopper was carried a half mile and thrown through tbe side of a house, and steel freight cars were bent double. The greatest damage was done by the piles of cut lumber swept before the flood. This acted as a great bat­ tering ram, which swept buildings from their foundations and unques­ tionably cauged the death of scores who otherwise might have escaped after surviving the first rush of the water. Tons Toased Like Bubbles. A section of the concrete wall of tbe dam itself, weighing over twenty tons, was carried more than a mile. A car­ load of paper weighing 23,000 pounds was washed from the pulp mill to the main street district. The Buffalo & Susquehanna passenger station was washed 300 feet away to Harvey and Cullen's mill pond The big mill at the Goodyear Lum­ ber company, which was dismantled three months ago in order that the machinery might be used on Potato creek, was burned. A big brick kiln with 40 chimneys collapsed as the mill burned. Will Start Investigation. Investigation into the cause of the breaking of the dam will be started at once, according to officials in charge of the work of rescue. That there had been constant danger of the catastrophe, due to the instability of the structure under great water pres­ sure, was known to many residents of the town, and a thorough investiga­ tion is demanded by many of the sur­ vivors. Spectators, many of whom barely escaped being victims of the disaster, and hundreds of persons from sur­ rounding towns, looked down from the steep hlilHide of Austin and Costello through a veil of fog to see the wreck­ age there of about 400 houses, a score of business blocks, three churches and several large lumber mills, and three miles further down the river at Cos­ tello the ruins of more than fifty buildings. The flood did not spend Its force un­ til It raced for more than ten miles from the reservoir. Wharton, still far­ ther on, suffered somewhat, but la practically Intact. The loss of life at Costello, where the residents had more warning, is believed to be but three. Joy of Living. Everything we endure patiently is a key to something beautiful we could never enter otherwise. By the toilsome road of study a scholar learns to get Joy out of books and stones and trees.

A statement denying the recent n| ports about the abandonment of the Red Cross Christmas seal sale baa bees issued uj the National Aesocia> tio5 *or the Study and Prevention ol Tuberculosis. The statement declares that not only will the sale be held this year, as in the past three years, but that It will be conducted on broad* er lines than ever before. The only order Issued by the postofflce depart ment which bears on the sale of Red Cross seals was sec: out on July 1, and prohibits the use of the malls to letters and packages bearing non- postage stamps on the face, and also to any mail bearing seals which re­ semble postage stamps. If used either on. the face or back. The Red Cross seal to be used this year baa been submitted t^ the postofflce depart­ ment and approved, and thus may be used, but only on the back of letters and packages. The design to be used this year depicts a pretty winter scene embossed in a heavy red circle. The corners are white, thus giving the ef­ fect when affixed to a letter or * package of a round seal.

There was an old couple in the vil­ lage whom I used often to go to Bee. One day, wben I found them sitting, one on each side of the fire, the old man said to me: "Well, t' missis and me, we've been married nigh on 50 years, and we've never had one quarrel." ' The old woman looked at me, with a twinkle in her eye, and said: "It war verie conscientious, hut varie dool."--Youth's Companion. What a Husband Replied.
