1T WORKS BOTH WAYS.

A Canadian Vessel Detained at Chicago by
Reason of a Technical Violation of the In
ternational Maritime Laws.
CHICAGO, June 4.-The Canadian steam
barge Nipigon arrived here yesterday in a
sinking condition, and under circum-
stances possessing peculiar interest in
view of the clashlng between the Ameri-
can and Canadian maritime interests. Her
crew were completely worn out by excess
sive labor at the pumps, and were almost
ready to give up the fight to keep the YES
sci afioat. The Nipigon was loaded with
stone at Vert island, Lake Superior
While proceeding toward Sault st. Marie
she was OvertaKen by severe northerly
gale which shook her up so badly that
she began to leak. Captain Conlon, wish
ing to get to Chicago with all possible
haste, did not stop at Mackinaw or She
boygan, as the law requires, to report the
entrance of his vessel into American
waters. He says he did not want to risk
the chance of delay, however slight,
because his vessel was in altogether too
bad plight, and the lives of his crew
might have been endangered.
The law says that a foreign vessel
about to enter American waters must re-
port the fact to the collector of the first
United States port on her route and OBJ
tain from him permission to continue the
trip. The penalty for violation of the
statute is nothing less than forfeiture OF
the vessel and cargo. Yesterday the cap
tain called upon Collector Seeberger, to
whom he related the story of his vessels
condition, and the necessity of reaching
Chicago or some other port where there
is dry dock without delay. Under Col
lector Seeberger's advice Captain Conlan
prepared statement of the facts and for
warded it to the Treasury Department.
Until Collector Seeberger hears from
Washington the Nipigon will not be al
lowed toleave port

NEW YORK, June 4.-General Wingate,
President of the National Rife Associa-
tion, was asked this morning why the
British Rife Association did not accept
the American Associations challenge to
shoot military rife match.
"Phe reason they did not" said the
General, 81 learned from Commissary
Oliver, of the Twenty-third regiment,
who took personal letter from me to
Sir John Halpin. That gentleman said
1t was due to the extremely hard times
there; and the political struggle now
going on takes away all interest IN the
match, and would make it too hazardous
a risk to undertake."
This makes the third refusal on the
part of the British rifiemen to accept the
American challenge to shoot since the
last meeting.

AN IMPASSABLE BARRIER.


Tactics Of strikers Wives and Children in
Chicago to Prevent the Movement of
Trains.
CHICAGO, June 5.-At ten O'Clock yes
terday morning an engine of the r. 7. road
was sentto Cummings to attempt to move
the four cars loaded with rails made by
newmen. The removal was prevented by
the wives and families of former employees,
assembled around the terminus of the
railroad tracks. When the engine ap
preached there was a rush to where the
loaded cars were standing. 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 to-
ward the approaching engine, the moth
ers and grown-up daughters taking the
rear. The engineer seeing the living,
breathing obstacle on the track, reversed
and returned to South Chicago.
Then the women dispersed, and on
their return jeered and abused the rep
resentatives of the company at the nail
works gate, calling them most Oppro-
briOus names, the police by their pres.
ence only preventing the in6ictiOn OF
violence by the infuriated women.
At two O'Clock, when the engine ap
peared again, fully two thousand women
and children were thronging the tracks,
and apparently as determined as before.
Sixty police from Hyde Park had come
down in the meantime. The women,
feeling sure they would not be dubbed,
refused to move, or moved very slowly
when told to do 50, and closed up aga,n
on the tracks, unless absolutely held back
by the officers. For some time great ex-
citement prevailed. The police finally
succeeded in getting the women away
from the tracks without resorting to
harsh measures, but the attempt to move
the cars was abandoned. More of the
same kind of trOnhle Is eXnected to-day.

A PASTORAL LETTER

From the Archbishop and Bishop of MIL
waukee on the subject of ParochIaI
Schools and the Relations of Capital and
Labor.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 5.-The pas
toral letter of the Archbishop and Bishop
of the Catholic province of this city, as
sembled In the First Provincial Council,
to the laity in their charge, has been
made public. 1t defines the position of
capital and labor. On the former the
letter says:
Parochial schools have been one of the
principal sub jects of deliberatiOn in the
ThiI Plenary, as well as in our own Provin.
cial Council 1t wi be- our duty to enforce
the rule, that within a certain time, to be de.
teImined in accordance with local circum.
stances each catholic parish must have It's
Catholic school. The priest who should
neglect this sacred duty would certainly be
unworthy of his position. and a congrega-
ton that should prove careless and slow in
the erection and maintenance of "A parish
school could not hope to enjoy worr+liy the
religious blessings which 1t would not care
to secure for its own children.
On the subject of capital and labor the
letter says:
We have. indeed, a sacred duty to fulfill
toward our fellow citizens as witnesses of
Gods truth in our midst. Mere hu nan wis
dom Will ever prove unable to solve perma
nently and satisfactorily the social prob
lens which on all sides are crOwding in upon
us. The Church of God alone with unerTing,
because assisted judgment can guile so
ciety through the labyrinths of passion and
seltishness into the serene regions of justice
and charity The question which to day we
call that of capital and labor is the old diff
ference emphasized in the gospel between
the rich and the poor. "Woe to the rich and
blessed are. the poor" are maXims estab-
lshed by the Divine judge, who shall come
to render absolute justice to those who have
rejected His absolute law of love. When
capitalists follow the heather rule to buy
labor in the cheapest market, God is not
with them, and when laborers imagine that
all men should have an equal share in the
comforts and enjoyments OF this earthly
life, Divine Providence has ruled other
wise.
Industry and sobriety have always proved
more profitable to human nature and to
society than wealth and extravaganza: To
commit an injustice is ALWAYS an evil; to
suffer it NAV be turned into "A blessing Re-
taiation is never allowed; but the Church
has. during he middle ages. united wOrkmen
into guilds, and the misery which theS en- q
dure now was unknown before the sixteenth
century. The condition of things would i'm.
prove very soon, were the rich to mediate
upon the rule, with what measure you have
measured. shall be measured to you again.
Matt vii., 2, and were the poor to follow the
advice, Seek ye first the Kingdom OF God
and dis Justice and all things shall be added
unto you,' Luke xii, 81"
