The Charges Against President Shaffer Receiving There are signs that diplomatic circles everywhere are realizing the growing necessity for a sort of moral concert of the powers regarding Turkish affairs. Nobody believes that Germany would consent to act as arbiter In the present dispute if the story that the porte has requested such Intervention be true. There are reasons for believing that Germany will give moral support to France In this typical case, in which France appears as the champion of Europe. 2 cases ot the best Amoskeag apron Gingham for 5c a yard.

Pittsburg, Sept. 3.—The members of the Amalgamated Association arc greatly worked tip over the charges made against Shaffer by ox-Viee-Presi dent Mickey in a speech to the Mil waukee strikers.

The officials of the Star plant say that the pickets about their mill yesterday held up a special delivery boy from the postoffice with a letter for tfoe office and inspected the letter before he was allowed to proceed. The matter will be reported to the postal authorities at once. It is also charged that the strikers stoned the company's carriage, but did no special damage to the occupants. Fort Worth. Tex..

Dr. RICHTER'S World-Renowned The aggressiveness of the strikers was further demonstrated late yesterday afternoon when a mob surrounded William Jones, a eolored man, who was mistaken for a nonunion man from the Star works. lie had a narrow escape from serious Injury and possibly death. Police Lieutenant Crossan came to his rescue. Before Crossnn could secure additional aid he wns almost overwhelmed by the large crowd that liad gathered. The prompt arrival of a large force of officers probably saved Jones from being lynched, as the mob appeared desperate, and many demands were made that he be strung up. The Liberal position is strong, and the situation is likely to remain as It Is until one side or the other makes an attack. Such an action would subject the attacking party to the severe lire of their oirponcnts, as it would be necessary to pass from Boons del Toro to Provision island, or ylce versa, in small open boats. Neither side is Inclined to take this risk. Reanlta of Yealerdny'a flumes In the Different LenRiiea. NATIONAL LKAGUE. Washington. Sept. 3.—Forecast until 8 p in..
