Chicago Settlement Plan Has Collapsed. Impossible, Annulled the for Seats. Tremendous Damags Done The diagram for the sale of reserved seats for "The Isle of Spice" was opened at the Broad street theater this morning, and alj recordB of the theater for advance sales were broken. The play has been here  fore, and Is well kuuwn to theatergoers as one of the finest musical comedies on the stage. It will also be the closing attraction of the season at the Broad. Hence, when the diagram was opened, there was a rush for seats. At noon every one of the lower priced seats had been sold and only the boxes and about 40 of the $1.50 seats remained. The calls were continuous and Manager Sinclair said that there would not be a seat of any kind left In the house by evening. It was a record-breaking sale and no mistake, and those who purchased tickets have no fear that they will be disappointed. "The Isle of Spice" Is a star attraction and Is sure to please. Notice Posted on Rockefel- An interlocking system Is to bo used In the running of trains through the Laurel Line tunnel, in Bcranton, which Will render the meeting of trains In the tunnel a practical impossibility. By means of this device, the operator at one end of the tunnel can set the derailer at the other end, making It impossible for a train to enter at the opposite end after a train has been admitted. In addition, a red light will be through at the end of the tunnel when the Interlocker is In operation. An apt and amusing illustration of the blind leading the blind was witnessed this morning in the Broad street theater during the rush sale of seats for the "Isle of Spice."

The dollar seats were well taken at this time and the seat secured by the latecomer was "Q 18," or thereabout, situated in about the secondlast row. He walked up tp the first man, who Is known as "Professor," and asked where the ticket would take him. The professor after scanning the ticket for a few minutes said, "Why that will take you up to the first row next to the orchestra." He then insisted on, showing him the exact location of the seat and the two went into the auditorium. The professor walked his questioner to where he claimed the right spot and pointed out his seat to him. The two men then went out together but in a few minutes the bureau of information came rushing back saying that he and the other man had been given the same seat, No. 18.

Chicago, May 22.—Sunday brought no change in the attitude of either side to the labor controversy now in progress in Chicago, and everything last night pointed toward an extension of the teamsters' strike during the coining week.

M22-25-29 Fort Worth, Tex., May 22.—Blowing seventy miles an Lour, a tornado struck this city from the southwest, killing one mau, injuring twenty and causing tremendous damage to property. Some of the most substantial buildings in the heart of the residence district were almost completely wrecked, and scores of residence* in the suburbs were leveled.Malone, N. Y., May 22.—William Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate, has been threatened with death If h#D visits his Adirondack preserves at Hay Pond this summer. The feeling against Mr. Rockefeller Is primarily due to his treatment of the people of Brandon and his alleged activity in trying to run down the assassin of Arando P. Dexter. Washington, May 22. — By the re ported decision of the federal court of cassation at Caracas annulling tha concession held by the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company and ordering the payment of damages to the Venezuelan government the controversy between the United States and Venezuela concerning the treatment of the corporation may be brought to a critical stage. Officers of the seven express companies whose refusal to reinstate any of their former employees caused the collapse of the settlement of the trouble still adhere to their determination not to give employment to any of their former employees, and the other firms involved in the difficulty Bald they would stand by the express companies in the tight. The Teamsters' union has taken just as iirin a stand as the employers, and it was said by President Shea that the union would not call .off the strike until the express couipauies came to terms. SERIOUS FIRE IN MINE THE BISHOP'S JUBILEE Posted within a week upon many trees uponi Mr. Rockefeller's property is the following legend: The greatest property loss was In the western suburbs, where the tornado struck with the greatest force, In one place razing a whole block of houses. Twenty-Nine Mules Were Begins in Scranton Tonight and Continues Tomorrow. "A $50,000 bullet will stop William Rockefeller the minute he sets foot upon this property." Suffocated at Scranton. Air. Hutchinson, the secretary of the American legation at Caracas, has reported to the state department nothing of any decision. The press dispatch from Caracas is somewhat confusing to officials here, as there are in reality two suits pending, one charging the New York and Bermudez company with fallurij to discharge the contractual obligations of the original concessionaire, while the second seeks damages for the alleged participation of the company in the Matos revolution of 15103. The former case is a civil action which lias been advanced to the highest court, while the latter case is yet in the lower courts. It is marveled that many lives were not lost. At first it was reported that 100 hud been killed, but investigation by the police showed that in every direction there had been remarkable escapes from death nnd even injury. One instance was the destruction of the upper part of a large frame house, leaving a family of six seated at dinner without a scratch. The threat is roughly printed, and all the many signs are evidently by the same hand. The reference to the value of the bullet is not understood, and is no doubt a private conceit on the part of the man who seeks to intimidate the magnate. I'ire Started oil Sunday Afternoon III the Mule Kuril of Mt. Pleasant Another incident of the sale created much laughter. An elderly lady, Unacquainted with the theater, came to the box office after all the balcony seats had been sold and all the dollar seats but the last row. She asked for two seats for 75 cents each and seemed much disappointed when she could not get them. When told she could get dollar seats she exclaimed, "Land sakes, I don't want to go up to the front row." Her fears were quieted when she was given seats in the Uast row downstairs. Signal Honor Will lDo Paid to lit. Itev Mine and Itefore It could 1m; M. J. Hobaii by the Clergy and Kxthigiilslied the .Mules I/tiity of tlic Catholic Diocese It is declared that every aot of Mr. Rockefeller's in recent years has heightened the hatred against him on the part of the natives, among which were several lawsuits against so-called trespassers, expulsions from the property and like harassments, and that the warnings which now decorate the trees are the work 1of some one goaded to madness, just as the slayer of Mr. Dexter was pressed on to a cowardly crime by brooding over an Injustice against him. Mr. Dexter also had a dream of empire In tho Adirondacks. The tirst spread of the strike is expected to come when the Lumbermen's association, an organization employing 2,400 teamsters, issues an order to their men to make deliveries to all business houses, regardless of whether they are involved in the strike. In anticipation of such an order the teamsters met and voted to go 011 strike should any teamster be discharged for refusing to obey the order of the Lumbermen's association. Were Suffocated. of Scranton on tlie 25tli Awful Havoc Wrought. Anniversary of Ills Twenty-nine mules were suffocated yesterday afternoon In the Mt. Pleasant mine, of the Scranton Coal Co., In Scranton, causing a loss of $5,800. The tire started in the mule barn In the Clark Vein, a distance of 2,000 feet from the shaft. S'fion after two o'clock In the afternoon smoke was discovered issuing from the shaft, and the firemen and colliery officials were called to the scene. It was impossible to take a line of hose to the scene of the tire, and it was decided to attempt to combat the flames by the of chemicals and by carrying water in buckets. Reports from outlying districts state that awful havoc was wrought by the storm. Half of the town of Mineral Wells was blown away, the tornado lifting houses from their foundations and carrying several of them a mile. All telegraph and telephone wires to the west are down, and train service is interrupted. So far all attempts have failed to get into communication with Mineral Wells, and it Is not known if any lives were lost there. Ordination The celebration of the ?5th anniversary of the ordination of Rt. Rev. Bishop M. J. Hoban will commence tonight in College hall, Scranton, where he will be tendered a reception by the laity, to which the general public is invited. The reception' will commence at 8 o'clock. Suffered Great Wrong, Iu the tirst suit the Venezuelan government alleged that the New York and Bermudez company had not discharged its obligations. The New York and Bermudez company, through its counsel, John Bassett Moore, has convinced President -Roosevelt and Secretary Taft that it has suffered great wrong at the hands of Venezuela, that the receivership and seizure of its property ordered several months ago by the Venezuelan courts was unjust and that President Castro exercises such Influences upon the courts that 110 equity has been possible for it iu the republic. TESTS AT THE EXETER Nothing to Prevent Upheaval. The meeting will be presided over by Editor E. J. Lynett, of the Scranton Times, who will Introduce Judge John P. Kelly. The latter and the bishop will respond briefly. Music will be furnished by Bauer's orchestra and the cathedral choir and at the conclusion of the exercises the boys' choir will sing a "Te Deum.' With nonunion drivers making deliveries for the lumbermen the strike will undoubtedly spread to affiliated industries, as the union men employed on buildings will refuse to handle material delivered by nonunion labor. Should this lumbermen's strike; be called, and there Is nothing that would indicate how it can be avoided, there seems to.be nothing that can prevent a general industrial upheaval throughout Chicago. NEWS FROM MANCHURIA. Safety Catches Found to Op The lifting of roofs was the favorite prank of the storm. The roofs were torn from hundreds of structures. It was only where the tornado traveled close to the ground that buildings weretotally demolished. After striking the African Methodist Episcopal church and reducing it to small pieces the tornado rose, skipping a block of houses to lower and destroy a large brick dwelling house. The family had seen the storm approaching and found safety in the cellar. The roof of the First National bank building, a seven story structure, was whipped off and dropped in large pieces in the main streets. Japanese Believe Oyama Has Planned The Clark vein was almost completely filled with smoke, rendering it almost Impossible for the fire-fighters to reach the lire. The thick smoke being heaviest near the roof the party crawled upon their hands and knees, carrying the buckets with the water and chemicals In that manner. It was found that all the mules were dead. erate Perfectly. Final Stroke of War. Tokyo. May 22.—The long looked for battle in upper Manchuria probably bas begun. This time the Itussiuns seemed to have opened it in order to prevent the Japanese left army, from developing its front any farther to tho northwest. No news from the field was received last night, but the morning bulletins iudieate that a general engagement has opened. General Lluevitcb's unity is so placed east and west of the railway that it will be impossible for him in the event of defeat to retire along more tban one road, and this position arouses great interest among the Tokyo war officials, who believe that Marshal Oyama has planned the final stroke in the war. The bulletins received tills morning are as follows: Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, the bishop will celebrate a pontifical high mass in St. Peter's cathedral. It is expected that there will be about 180 priests from all parts of the diocese in attendance at this service. It was originally Intended to have a sermon preached by Rt. Rev. Bishop Eugene A. Garvey, of Altoona, but the latter has been called to Rome. There will, as a consequence, be no Karli of the Six ('ages Was Tested Twice Near the Bottom of tlie Shaft—An Unexpected Test, Alonzo wygant, general agent of the United States Express company, said that so far as a settlement of the strike was concerned the only way that it could be ended would be for the teamsters to surrender. It Is thought that the fire originated by the lamp of the barn boss coming in contact with the lumber in the barn, which Is very dry and easily ignited. No other person was in the mine during the day and there are no electric wires in that portion. Made When Carriage Acting upon this conviction, the state department made, through Minister IJowcn at Caracas, a request which was nearly an ultimatum that Venezuela agree to submit to arbitration the controversy about the asphalt company. The Venezuelan government respomled that this could not be done, that the case was still a matter pending in the courts of Venezuela. Accidentally Dropped, Taking advantage of the colliery being idle, Mine InspeC.«tor P. M. Boyle and the officials of the Exeter colliery yesterday made tests of the safety catches on the shaft cages, and were very much pleased with the results. There are six cages at the Exeter on which men are hoisted and lowered. Two of these are in the Ued Ash shaft, while the other four are In the old shaft, two being used for the Plttston vein and two for the checker vein. In each case two tests were made of each cage, all being near the foot of the shaft. Allowance was made for a drop of ten or twelve feet, in event of the catches falling to operate. Besides Inspector Boyle there were present when the tests were made District Superintendent W. D. Owens, Outside Foreman K. A. Mulhall, Inside Foreman D. P. Thomas, Inside Foreman William Matthews and Jesse Shafer, the foreman of carpenters. At the Red Ash shaft, the tests were made under the supervision of Mr. Thomas. There was placed on the cage for the tests an empty mine car weighing 1,600 pounds. The catches were foupd to operate perfectly, taking firm hold of the guides and stopping the carriage within a drop of 1 % to 2 inches. An unexpected test was made, the results of which were especially gratifying to the colliery officials. After the . lirst test had been made, and while the carriage was being hoisted a lit'tle with the testing apparatus still in place, the pin in the clevis that was holding the cage broke, permitting the cage to drop when four men were "Our men were told before they ■truck," an Id Mr. Wygant, "that if they went out in sympathy with others they could not hope for reinstatement, and I cannot now see any contingency that would change our decision in the matter." Immediately after the mass there will be a banquet In St. Thomas' College hall. This will be attended by all the clergy. An address of congratulation on behalf of the clergy will be delivered by Rev. J. P. O'Malley, of this city, who was the bishop's pastor In Hawley many years ago. sermon Judge A. W. Tourgee Dead. Bordeaux, May 22. — .fudge Albion Wincgar Tourgee of Mayvllle, X. Y., American consul here, has died from acute uraemia, which resulted from an old wound. Judge Tourgee was taken seriously ill some mouths ago, but his condition afterward Improved and it was believed his recovery was probable. Recently, however, the disease took another serious turn. lie was born at Wililamsfleld, ()., May 2, is;w. lie was formerly consul general at Halifax, N. S., and was widely known as a lawyer, writer and lecturer. Train Di»patcher Killed. The worst damage was done at the station of the Texas and Pacific railroad. Here a high wall was blown down, falling on John Young, a train dispatcher, and killing him instantly. The main station building was unroofed and part of the west wall was blown in. If the concession of the asphalt company has been annulled as reported the Venezuelan government will be requested to arbitrate the question of the rights of the New York and Bermudez company. Into this arbitration will enter the question of the asphalt which has been mined from "New York and Bermudez company's property and sold to a rival asphalt company by the Venezuelan receiver, Mr. A. II. "On Friday the enemy, with about 800 infantry, two squadrons of cavalry and eight Held Runs, attacked our position at Welyuanpao, west of the railway, fifteen miles north of Kaivuan. The Japanese troops fell hack on Chlengtsu, where, obtaining re-enforcements, the Russian division was repulsed with considerable loss. Farther west in the afternoon a Russian force estimated at one and a half regiments of Infantry, five squadrons of cavalry and fourteen guns attacked at Cliingpao and in an engagement lasting for three hours were finally repulsed and pursued northeast. Mayor Edward F. Dunne and Sheriff Thomas E. Barrett spent the day in trying to ascertain if there was going to be a spread of the strike. In the afternoon a conference was held In the mayor's office. President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor was invited to attend the meeting. THE WEATHER. S|Deiiul Bulletin Issued Today by tlic Nearly all the injured were caught in falling houses, but several were hurt in the streets by falling wreckage. One man's skull was crushed by a timber close to the spot where Young was killed. Scrnnton Branch of tlie Wentlicr Bureau. An area of high barometer pressure is noted over the region of the upper lakes, a warmer change has occurred through the lower lakes, while the temperature changes have been slight. Indications fire that this will influence the weather conditions favorably in this section tonight, with generally fair weather. The barometer pressure Is low to the southwest of us, and quite a precipitation area extends along the lower Mississippi and Tennessee valleys. This low pressure will probably cause increasing cloudiness through this vicinity on Tuesday. The temperature changes will be slight. Troops May Be Called. So extensive was the damage at the station that no trains were moved for four hours. Wreckage was piled high on the tracks, and it took a gang Of tlfty men hours to clear a single line. Hundreds of trees were blown down in City park, and two women walking there were hurt by a falling limb. After talking over the situation with Mayor Dunne and Sheriff Barrett Mr. Gouipers withdrew from the conference to have a consultation with President Shea of the Teamsters' union. Farmers Want Student Help. earner Logical to Send Ultimatum. Topeka, Kan., May 22.—The farmers of Kansas want eastern college students to come here this summer and help them harvest the great wheat crop. Letters are pouring in to employment bureaus asking for college boys. Last year the best harvesters came from New York and New England. The wheat farmers say these young men come to Kansas to develop their muscle. They want to show the western fDoys how to work. They simply will not be outdone and make the best harvest hands. In otlicial circles it was said last night that if the concession has been annulled the logical action of the United States would be to demand arbitration and if a satisfactory response was not forthcoming to send to Venezuela an ultimatum to be backed up by American warships. "I have been discussing the outlook with Mayor Dunne and Sheriff Barrett," said Mr. Gouipers. "They asked me to use my influence and to do everything I possibly could to prevent the extension of the strike. I told them 1 was willing to do everything 1 could in an advisory capacity to bring about peace." "A force estimated to be a brigade strong is on the west bank of the Liao river, but has been checked in an attempt to get into the rear of the Japanese right. On the other side of the Liao river the enemy's cavalry is concentrated in numbers to the extent of 5,000 and with infantry and three batteries is attempting to dislodge small Japanese columns from a Hue of earthworks extending northeast to Changtu. An attempt to force the Japanese position on both sides of the Liao river failed on Saturday night, the Russians retreating northwest before daylight. Small engagements are reported In the center, and two detachments of Japanese infantry attacked on the extreme left of the Russian position, east of the Yalu river road leading to Kirln." The storm passed as .quickly as it had come, and at 7 o'clock the weather was exceptionally fine again. As no official Information has yet come from Caracas it is unlikely that any action will be taken until Secretary Taft has completed his investigation of the charges against the ofticial integrity of Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loonils. Following an illustrious example President Diaz may go hunting big game. He has been invited to Teppic, Mexico, to kill off some of the ferocious tigers that now infest that district and raid the ranches.

See Garrison about electric work, Havana, May 22.—The nntional convention of the Liberal party adopted a few additions to the platform, including propositions for establishing a national militia and changing the provisions covering the functions of cabinet officers. A secret session will be held today to consider campaign plans. It is expected that a presidential candidate will be nominated tonight. Most important of these charges, which artD based on various reports and documents sent to the state department by Herbert W. Bowen, American minister to Venezuela, Is one that the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company gave to Mr. Loomis when minister to Venezuela a check for $10,0CX) and that President Castro now holds that check as a compromising document with which to check, by fears of provoking a great diplomatic scandal, any American aggression against Venezuela. on the hood or top. Again, In this very practical tost, with the additional weight of four men on board, the catches caught and held the cage In 'a drop of less than two Inches. At the conclusion of the Red Ash shaft tests, the officials went to the oid shaft and there tested the four cages thoroughly, Mr. Matthews In charge. The catches were found to operate perfectly, catching and stopping the cages in every Instance, the drop before tho catches took hold being between 1% and four inches. Inspector Royle said that the Exeter tests were the most satisfactory of the series that have been conducted in his district.TIE MAGNET "Should there be an extension of the strike, with a resumption of the rioting of two weeks ago, there is a jnobability that troops will be called to maintain order." said If quality and prices have any at- The Open Boor Sheriff Barrett said that he would continue swearing in deputies and would make special efforts to iucrease the number. traction for you, read this list over.
