There is in the Bishop Of London's
library, at Fulham, q manuscript In the
handwriting OF Governor Bradford, one OF
the leading Pilgrim fathers, who In 1920
landed at Plymouth Rock, Mass, giving
diary OF the proceedings OF the Pilgrims,
containing the compact or Constitution,
out Of which arose the federation now
termed the United States, The document
was captured as booty by British soldier
during the American war OF Independence,
from an old Dutch church in Boston. As
very many Americans consider tho dOcu-
ment as the very book Of Genesis Of the
nation, Mr., Scott has suggested that in
token Ot the deep sympathy Of England
with America in her national sorrow and
England's desire to forget the conflict Of
one century gonow attracting attention at
Yorktown, England should present the
document in the name OF the Queen and
nation to the United States.

ST. PAUL, MINI, October 4.-The heavy
rains Of the past month have had their
natural effect upon the rivers Of the North.

last spring will be repeated. The bottoms
along the river arc oyerfowed, and consid.
cradle damage to hay is reported. The
Upper Mississippi is not dangerously high
as yet, but It Is getting up to an unusual
height at Eau Claire, where the Chippewa

Chippewa have heen washed out, but
the extent Of the damage in that section
Is not yet definitely known. On the

number Of logs were let loose, but were
caught In the lower booms. At Lacrosse
the water Is so high that tho mills have
been Obliged 10 shutdown. AT Black River

Committee, appeared upon the platform,
he was greeted with cheers, and addressed
the Convention.
Colonel French spoke ieelingly OF Presi.

whole people, and whose death bindsthem

James N. Durham, was chosen perma-

Lieutenant Governor.
The ticket was completed Us follows:
Secretary Of State, General Michael T.
Donahue; Treasurer and Receiver General,
Colonel Fnncis Parker; Auditor, Charles
H. Field; Attorney General, Patrick A.
Collins.
A platform was reported and adopted OF

LONG STRIKE ENDED.
Starting Up OF the Cincinnati Rolling
Mills OF the Old Prices.

hllAN AhN SAA
CYcISyArr, October 1.-Two ofthe seven
rolling mills in this city, which have been
idle since June, owing TO strike Of their
men for nm advance Of wages to figure 20
per cent higher than that paid at Pittsburgh,
started to-day with men who had been
brought here from other cities. The other
mills expect to start soon. 1t has been
claimed that the strike was instlguted by
the Pittsburgh mill owners for the purpo7e
Of injuring their competitors In this city
and capturing their business. The Anal.
glmatCd Iron Rollers Union accept.
ell the old scale in Pittsburgh, but order.
cd an advance Of twenty per cent
here. The reason given was thft
the facilities for working here were not as
good as in Pittsburgh. The Cincinnati
mill owners resented the diCtatiOn, and,
after several irutless conferences with rep.
resenntiyes Of the union, decided TO con.
tnue their old scale OF prices, and to en-
plOy none but non.union men, or those
who would bind themselves to sever their
connection with the union. Nearly u
thousand men have been idle, and have
hadto be supported by the unions at other
cities. The mill.owncrs estimate their loss
ut upwards Of two millions. Repeated at.
tempts have been made by the proprietors
10 start up with men from other cities.
