A WARNING TO CANADA.

Congressman Dingley of Maine
takes the ground in regard to our
fishery interests in Canadian waters
that the Dominion authorities are
dong three things, each of which is
in violation of the commercial az
rangement of the United States with
Great Britain. They have, by the
presence of armed cruisers, warned
American vessels from Canadlan wa
tiers, even though the latter are not
engaged in the fishing trade; they
have denied their rights to enter Ca
madam ports for the purpose of trade;
and they have refused to our fishing
vessels the right to land fish, caught
in deep water, for shipment to the
United States in bond. Secretary
Bayard also takes the same position.
The Dominion government apparent
ly claims the right to deal with the
matter, without reference to any ac-
ton of Great Britain. The point is
raised, however, that the Dominion
government is not sovereign, but de-
rives it's power from the imperial
government, which alone can enter
into treaty arrangements with other
powers. A government which pos
sesses no power to make treaties can
not be said to have the power either
to interpret or to enforce them. This
is the situation of Canada, which is
subject to the authority of the Brit
ish government and has no power to
act independently in disputed mat,
ter between the United States anC
Great Britain. In the senate, las
week, Mr.. Frye of Maine discussed
the subject in all its bearings. HI
declared that under existing treaties
our vessels had a perfect right tt
enter Canadian ports for any pur
pose they pleased except piracy
Mr.. Frye was only waiting for sin
gle American vessel to be seized
then he proposed to introduce bill
of less than ten lines closing tn
ports of the United States against al
British colonial fishing, freightin'
and passenger vessels all along tn
line of the great lakes and the AT
lantic coast, and we would then Sc
how long Canada would carry O.
this operation that she has now Ell
tered on. In conclusion, Mr.. Fry
said the question involved matte
that looked to war. This kind c
talk has made an impression in Car
ada, and the result will probably /
that the British government will tax
the matter in hand and settle it will
out reference to the attitude of til
Dominion Wdtchm1a1a.

as benefactor to save them from
the bartering traffic of the average
grocer. Farmers should remember
that there is labor and risk in hand
ling and selling the products of the
farm, as well as in producing them
and should be willing that the man
who takes the risk in selling should
have fair margin of profit.

FARMERS AND MIDDLEMEN

There has been SO much said about
the profits made by spectators and
middlemen that some farmers have
learned 10 regard every man who
come TO their door to buy wool,
beef, apples, or any produce, as
natural enemy. But the fact re-
mains that when a man has grown
or produced commodity to sell, he
cannot realize on it till he can find a
customer and one who makes huy-
ing and selling his business, can sell
better than a common farmer, and
still have small margin left. In
thinly settled isolated districts the
man who goes about among the
farmers paying cash for what they
baye to sell, should be looked upon

WOMAN'S WAY.
How the Wives of Strikers Prevented the
Moving of Trains.

How the Wives of Strikers Prevented the
Moving of Trains.
CHICAGO, June 5.-There was a report
yesterday morning at Cummins that the
Rock Island road would move four cars
loaded with the nails made by the new men
at the CumminS nail works. AS several of
the strikers had been enjOined from inter
fering in any way with the working of the
mills, the removal of these cars was pre-
vented in peculiar way. Ten o'clock was
the hour when the engines were expected
from South Chicago, and before that hour
women and children to the number of 200,
the wives and families of former employees,
assembled with sticks in their hands around
the terminus of the railroad tracks and op-
pOsite the entrance of the nail works.
Female spies were sent down the track
towards South Chicago to apprise the
party of the engines approach. While
these were keeping guard a contin-
gent was dispatched to the residence of
Tom Bethel. a non-uniOn man, who was
moving to COlehOur for safety. Mrs. Bethel
was alone, experimenting the packing OF
the household goods, when she was startled
by the beating of tin pans aud the widest
boots and yells imaginable. Several win
doWs were broken by powders. and she was
berated rOundly by the women and children
until the police dispersed the party. They
returned to the depot, and at the same time
one of the picketS came running breathless-
ly along the track, waving her shawl and
shouting: ITO the cars p This was the signal
of the approach of the engine. Then there
was rush TO where the loaded cars were
standing. Mothers with infants in arms and
dragging youngsters by the hand hurried
along. All ages were represented. The
mothers grouped their little ones along the
track some distance ahead of the first
freight car and packed them according to
age along the rails, the youngest toward
the approaching engines. the mothers and
grown-up daughters taking position in the
rear. The engine steamed up slowly
short distance, but seeing the living obsta-
Gle on the track, reversed and returned to
South Chicago. Then the Amazons dis
peTsed, and on their return ieered and
abused the representatives OF the company
at the gate calling them the most opprO-
was only prevented by the presence of the
police. At two o'clock, when the
engines appeared again, fully 1000
women and children were thronging the
tracks and apparently as determined as be-
fore to hold them. Captain Hunt with
sixty policemen from Hyde Park had re-
ported in the meantime and attempted to
clear the tracks, but could do it only with
great difficulty. The women, feeling sure
they would not be dubbed, refused to move,
or moved very slowly when told to do so
and closed up again on the tracks unless
absolutely held back by the officers. Late
in the afternoon they were still thronging
about the cars and tie engines were unable
to get by them withoutskilling them.

The Kentuckian's Empty Bottle.

A Rhode Island train had just left
Moline, Ill.,, and was crossing the big
iron bridge over the wide waters OF
the Mississippi when tall passenger,
with a huge moustache and watery
eyes looking out from under a slouch
hat, jumped excitedly to his feet and
shouted

Are we in Iowy yet9'
NO." responded the official "but
what if we ain't?"
Then stop this train. Stop her,
quick say. Stop herr
"Stop her, | tell ye. BY so doing
you can save the life of one of your
passengers. I beg of you stop the
train"
The conductor, wondering at the
cause Of this strange request, hesitatng
u moment. and then reached for the
bell cord. In few seconds the train
came to a standstill, when the excited
passenger again inquired:
Are you sure we are not in 1owy =
The conductor looked out of the
car window and assured his passenger
that the train was still in Illinois.
"Then," replied the man with the
big moustache and watery eyes, "you
have saved my life. l thank you.
Only few minutes ago read this
little handbill, which says dinner is
now ready in the dining car, and that
no liquors will be sold while the train
is running through Iowa. Please,
