Five thousand it marine firemen, members of the Hrine Firemen'i Union, of this city, hire been ordered to etrlke by Daniel gulliv the general secretary of the national executive board of the marine firemen'i council. The strike Is expected to extend to 11 ihe coast cities from Portland, Me., to Galveiton, Texas. According to the expectation of Secretary Bull! van, about 11,000 men will be out on strike wlihla tne next two weeki. Tbe firemen declare that their llhmiflrh rallftrl whll thA Nw York, New Daren and Harltord rail road freight handlers are out, Is not itmpthelie, neither Is It for increased wazei or shorter hours,but to do away wi h what the members of the union consider to be their greatest grievance, t viimp"syitem. Brcretary Sullivan to night gave out a lUtoment as to the firemen's griev ance, in which he said : 'Tne 'crimp is a fellow who goes to the high officials of coastwise lines and they give him money to control tbe shipping of firemen. These'crlmps' make anywhere from $4,000 to $5,000 a year out of the poorly paid and hard-worked firemen. This money Is taken out of the wages of the fire men cm every trip, and then the crimp' meets the head of the Hne and sbarei with him the blood money he bis taken from the firemen. "We have protested against this system to the representatives of the various coastwise lines and they have met our protests with denials that they bad dealings with the 'crimp,' when we offered to prove to them that such wis the case. Tbe reason why they aland up for the' 'crimps' is because there is big graft In it for the man higher up." SULTAN ACCEDES TO TERMS.

Nothing is known here of the various rumors to the effect that Port Arthur has failed, but it is not considered possi ble at this time. - Port Arthur, the L!ao Tung; penin sula and the Yalu river are cut off from Russian sources by the Japanese, who are between the Russians and the territory mentioned.

The rumor that the Russian squadron has sailed out of on Artfcur, remains unconfirmed here. Unimportant engagements continue to take place on the Fen? Wane Cheng road, 'between the Motlen mountains and the Japanese positions. They are principally between Japa nese cavalry and the Russian advance posts. The reports that the Russians had re-taken Salmatiza which the Jap anese had previously occupied are confirmed. Skirmishes are occurring n the neighborhood of Pu Lan-Tien, (about 40 miles north of Port Arthur.) The Japanese, lacking good cavalry. are adopting the system of using in fantry supports. The Cossacks rarely attack without finding such supports. Fight Expected at Kiochin. Liao Yang. June 17 (delayed In transmission.) The Japanese have evacuated their position near Vafan gow. The neighboring mountains are deserted and the recently constructed entrenchments are empty. Japanese mounted scouts even are do longer seen ana the Russian patrols have fail ed to locate any Japanese as far as Na- fangkau. Tne railroad is only siigntiy damaged and can be repaired in a few hours. A severe fight may De expect ed at Klnchau, where the Japanese are concentrating in the positions captured from the Russians. Japa nese north or ruianaien are appar ently retiring on that place. The Japanese have not effected a landing at Kal-Chau. Their fleet of twenty five transports, loaded with war mate rial and provisions, which was lying off Kai-Chau, has disappeared. Stores for the Japanese army are reaching Klnchau from all directions. In the recent fiehtin? the Japanese, it is estimated, lost 320 killed or wounded. They employed many coolies to carry away the bodies under cover or night. A Rasslaa Reverse. London. June -9.

A Witat si to ihe KiUlag la the lab Tarsi Up- Writ ot Habeas Corpss for Re line ol trs, Patterns Dialed By Telegnph to tbe Homing Star. New York, June a Justice Clarke, of the Supreme Court, to-day denied the writ of habeas corpus for the re lease of Mrs. Nan Patteraon, who la held in connection with the myaterious shooting of Caiiar Young, the well known bookmaker and turfmen. Mrs. Patterson was remanded to the Tombs prison, where she has been confined since. Young was shot to death in a cab while he was driving to a steam ship pier with the young woman who was to sail for Europe. The case took a new turn to-day when Algernon O. Meyer, of 253 K. Becond street, Jacksonville, Fla., pub licly announced that he was a witness to the killing of Young and stated that Young himself held the revolver which fired the fatal shot. His first story was told toTthe representative of a newspaper, but later in the day Meyer went to the district attorney's office and was subjected to an extend ed examination. Bis statement was taken in full by an official stenogra pher. According to Meyer the shooting of Young appeared to be accidental. Mrs. Patterson was struggling with Young, who had the revolver in his right hand and his right arm was around her neck. To Meyer it appeared as though Mrs. Patterson was trying to push Young, away, from her, or, per haps, to take the revolver away from him. According to the postman who first reached the cab Mrs. Patterson sat at the left of Young. Meyer says there waa another wit ness to the tragedy. Thia waa a man about five feet eight inches tall, attired In a dark suit and wearing a straw hat. He had a small black moustache. This man, who was directly opposite the cab when the pistol was fired, accord ing to the story told by Meyer, jump ed upon the step ot the cab and rode there a short distance. Meyer says be thinks the man talked to the woman in the cab. ' According to the atory told by Mey er, ne was walking up west Broad way Saturday morning, wavn bis at tention was called to a hansom cab coming down the street. As he look ed, the occupants, a man and woman. oegan to scums. "As the cab approached me." con tinued Meyer, "I saw that the man had gun in Ills right hand. His right arm was around her neck and the hand was about on a level with her head. At first I thought he waa trying to put the pistol to her head. Right in front of me the tall man with the black moustache waa walking, and I saw him stop and look at the scene In the cab. "I could aee the glint ot the pistol barrel and all at once I heard the re port and saw a little smoke float up. The driver did not stop his cab. The hand with the gun In it dropped down the girl's back and ahe dodged away. Then the man in the cab fell over. This was just before tbe cab pined me and just as the man ahead of me had run ont and jumped up on the step. 'I turned and watched the cab go down the street. Then I saw it stop and aaw a crowd begin to gather. I did not want to get mixed up In the caae and kept away from the crowd. I had a reason for not wanting to be mixed ud In tbe affair, but when I bought tbe newspapers Saturday after noon and saw that the case looked bad for the woman, I determined to speak f it became necessary. "I bad never heard the name of Caesar Young nor that of Nan Patter son before." Another eye-witness to the shooting haa been found by the district attorney n Carl Norlander, who nas been serv ed with a subpeenea. His testimony, it Is expected, will shatter the story told by Mrs. ratterson mat usesar Yonnc shot himself. Norlander is supposed to be the pedestrian who eaped upon tne step or tne carriage, ust after the shooting, according to the witness Meyer. T&rncgoTrvn.Lx. Fla.. June 8. Al gernon 0.

IIoit to Make Candle at Home For the Holidara a wWtor In the Ladies' Home Journal t'lvoa the following rules for making caiu'.ifs at home for the holidays: "Aev er stir the sugar and water after the purar has dissolved. Wipe down con stantly the granules forming on the Bide of the saucepan. Do not shake or move the saucepan while the sirup is boilinpr. As soon as the" sugar begins to Loll watch it carefully, having in your hand a 1owl of ice water, so that you may tryjthe sirup alm4 t constant ly. Have everything in readiness be fore beginning. "If the sugar grains use it for old fashioned cream candy or sugar taffy. It cannot be used for fondant. Use only the best granulated sugar for boil ing and confectioners' XXX for knead ing. If your fondant grains without apparent cause you may have boiled it a little too long. A few drops of lemon juice or a little cream of tartar will prevent this. Fondant Is the soft mix ture which forms both the inside of the Trench candies and the material in which they are dipped, and It Is to ob tain this that the sugar is boiled. "After the sugar has reached the soft ball, a semihard condition, it must be poured carefully Into a large meat plate or on a marble slab. Do not ecrnpe the saucepan or you will granu late the sirup. Make your fondant one day and make it up into candy the next Never melt fondant by placing the saucepan Immediately on the stove. "Prevent the danger of scorching by standing the pan containing it in a ba sin of water. If the melted fondant ia too thick-add water most cautiously, a drop at a time. A half teaspoonful more than is necessary will ruin the whole. To cool candy stand it in a cool, dry place. To keep candy put it between layers of waxed paper in tin boxes. If the day is bright and clear the sugar los'es its stickiness quickly; therefore select a nne day lor your candy making. Ton git -Caea Cost More.

It is accessible on the ground ioor, and will be found most convenient in all its arrangements. Greensboro Record: There are no further developments in that case of poisoning, in which John Martindale lost his life, mention of which was made in the Record of Saturday. All the men were so drunk they cannot give any descrip tion of the man whatever who brought the liquor to them, which was poisoned. It is thought the man intended to dope the men and then rob them, but put two much laudanum in the liquor. It Is a hor rible thing and a great pity the man cannot be caught and punished. At Salisbury on Tuesday the bonds of Thomas Foil and Adam Pool, the men who are in Rowan county jail under the charge of heinously maiming and committing nameless crime upon Jjawson Josey near this city about two weeks ago, have been raised from $700, aa fixed at the preliminary trial, to $1,500 each.

We have called attention several times recently to the good work done In Louisiana In the matter of better roads, especially In Ouachita and Natchitoches parishes, says the New Orleans Times Democrat A better feeling has been aroused throughout the state, and we may look for a continued improvement from year to year that is, the more miles of good roads constructed the more clearly their value will be seen. The chief difficulty in the south in building roads is the expense. The southern counties have not the money to spend on expensive roads, however much they may be desired, as they have so many other heavy burdens on their hands in the maintenance of the schools, levees, etc If they are to do much in the way of road building, It must be done cheaply. South Carolina has been experiment ing in this matter, and we learn from the Charleston News and Courier that it is doing splendid work in building good roads at small cost. Some of the facts and figures given by tho South Carolina paper are most encouraging, showing that good roads can be con structed at a cost far below what we have believed possible. Thus In Newberry county a road eight miles long was constructed at a cost of only $350, the chain gang being used. It is claimed that this road is the cheapest ever constructed in tho United States, and this claim will not be disputed. The Newberry road has been graveled from six to twelve inches thick. In Sumter county, where there is no gravel, good clay and sand roads are being constructed at a cost of $S00 a mile, including the material and all other expenses except the maintenance of the convicts employed. "i-'M " Worthless Roads. Building worthless roads Is one of the grossest forms of swindling the people, says the Buffalo Enquirer. At last the public is awake to the neces sity of having roads which shall be good both in name and in fact Good R.oa.d Notes A bank at Harrisonville, Mo., has of fered a cash prize for the best road in that vicinity. There are now state good roads as sociations organized in twenty-nine states and hundreds of .county and town associations working for better highways. The United States circuit court at Los Angeles has declared the use of oil for sprinkling roads in California a public necessity and not coverable by a patent A suit for damages recently brought by a sprinkling company against Los Angeles county has been dismissed. The Good Roads Magazine says that in Binghamton, N. Y., wheio they have a plant owned by the city!, the cost of the repair of asphalt varies-, from 43 to 73 cents a yard, but similar repairs made under contract with an asphalt paving company cost $1.20 a yard. Wise are the city officials who secure their own paving and repairing plants. PRODUCE MARKETS. ui Teiezraon to the Morning Btar. Nnw Yobi", Jane 8. Flour waa barely steady and dull. Bye flour steady.

The cotton market opened steady at an advance of five points to a decline of four points, the near positions being in fluenced by rather better cables, while the late months were off under the excellent weather news. Trading was rawer quiet at nrst ana tne list as a whole showed some steadiness under covering, but soon turned weak under Dear pressure and declined to a net ots of about eleven to sixteen points. wjth July leading. At thla level a somewhat better demand developed from spot houses and exporters, and there waa a rally which carried the market up a few points. The firmer tone was lost, however, for private ad vices from the South indicated very little improvement in spotdemand,prl vate crop accounts were favorable and estimates for to-morrow's re ceipts at leading points showed relative heaviness. This caused a re newal of pressure and the market ruled weak during nearly the entire balance of theseason,reaching the low eat point only a few minutes before the cloie when July sold at 11.24; October at 9.56 and December at 9.48 ;net de clines of from twenty to twenty-six points. In the last-five minutes there was something of a rally on room cov ering and July recovered about ten points from the lowest, with the mar ket finally very steady at a net decline of twelve to nineteen points with sales estimated at 400,000 bales. July was very nervous and irregular during the entire session and seemed to respond very quickly to comparatively light orders either way. During the early afternoon one of the floor brokers bad a buying order for about 1,000 bales and waa forced to bid the price up from 11.33 to 11.41, after which it went back quite as quickly to about 11.25. The new crop was affected by the ex cellent weather reports and was under pressure from one source or another nearly all day. Wall street, the South and Europe seemed to be selling in the local market and while commission houses bought freely on the spots they sold on all the rallies. w Yoar, June 7.
