AN investigation of the affairs of the
Shackamaxon Bank results in a re-
port which is but a repetition of the
old story of loans made to prominent
politicians and contractors without
security, over-drafts, undated checks
cashed, and bank president permit
ted to borrow more money than his
banks entire capital-all without
the knowledge of the directors" The
bank director seems to be generally
the last person in the world to discov-
er or suspect that such things can be
done.

To find out just how much there is
in the torpedo as a naval weapon, the
British admiralty will coat the iron
clad Resistance with sixteen inches of
armor, tow her upon a mud bank and
explode a Whitehead torpedo beneath
her. This is an experiment of which
the benefits will be enjoyed by other
countries as we'll as England. 1t is a

ALL the published accounts of the
present visit of cholera to Spain agree
in two particulars; that the flthiest
cities aresoonest visited, and that the
dirtiest portions Of these filthy cities
suffer most from thepestilence. There
is world of suggestion in these two
bits of information, and if our Ameri-
can seaboard cities and inland river

there will be little danger to be appre-
hended, even if some unlucky chance
should bring the disease to our

ANY considerable falling off in the
wheat crop of Russia will work to the
advantage of the American market
and perhaps act as a tonic to our ex-
port trade. The statement that the
home supply of grain in Southern Rus
STA was much reduced when war was
anticipated is certainly credible. All
ports buying from the Black Sea
made every endeavor to complete
large purchases before war should
open. The further statement by cable
that drought is likely to make Russian
wheat failure this year perhaps needs
confirmation.

Armed Rioters. Cleveland

Early on the morning of the Sd, 1000
strikers assembled near the iron mills in
Cleveland Many of these were Poles and
Bohemians, and carried pistols and revol-
vers. The men going to work were stopped,
and Ed. Lille, foreman in the Merchant
Mills, was pretty roughly handled, but he
escaped. At s O'Clock the crowd augment
mented a hundred fold marched to theplate
mills, where work was going on as usual.
No reduction was intended here and the
employees were willing to proceed and let
the strikers do as they pleased. The mob
overcame the gate-keeper and swarmed into
the mill. The engines were stopped and the
mill closed. In the afternoon the same
programme was carried out at the Cleve-
land Rolling Mill Company's blast furnace,
situated on the flats. The Collins furnace,
also the property of the Cleveland Rolling
Mill Company, was closed by the strikers.
Thus every mill and furnace owned by the
company idle, making the largest strike
ever known in Newburgh. Fully $500
men are now idle. An open-air meeting was
held in the evening, but no violence OF any
kind was attempted.

Canadian Fishermen Impatient With
Their American Competitors.
OTTAWA, Ont, June 29.-Since the
announcement of the temporary ar
rangement between this government
and that of the United States in regard
to the fisheries question, members of
Parliament from maritime districts
have been receiving many protests
from Canadian fishermen. These
fishermen assert that they will not
allow Americans to fish inthe in-shore
waters, and that they will resist any
attempts of Americans to so fish.
These members state that bloodshed
is almost unavoidable, should the
fishermen of the two countries meet.
The government has sent a steamer
to cruise along the coast to prevent
trouble if possible.

Elk Alderman Glenn was the next
speaker, and paid an earnest tribute to

briefly, but none the less feelingly and
humorously, upon the necessity Of the

material encourage nent which he
needed and which he richly deserved.
Thomas Canty followed with q brief
speech in his most charac teristic strain.
Mr.. Martin, Of st. Paul, and Mr.. Gil
lespie, Of Iowa, two young men0f ready
speech, took occasion to announce
themselves as believers in the use Of
dynamite. Both speakers contended
| that the treatment which the people Of
Ireland had received from the hands Of
England justified the EXTREMIST meas
ures. They thought the world Of Par
| nell, but they could not hope for success
under his banner. These sentiments
were not the sentiments of the gather
ing, for no sooner had these gentlemen
subsidized than several more conserva-
tive speakers were heard from. DR..
Ames, as an outsider, would counsel
moderati on, and thought the feature Of

one AID. Glenn demonstrated against
