PITTsBUBG, Pa, Dec. 10.-The reiec-
tion of the credentials of A. G. Denny,
delegate to the trades federation at Column
bus o.. yesterday, has caused great deal
of talk among Pittsburg workingmen, not
only because Mr.. Denny was the only ac-
credited delegate from this city, but also
from the fact that he was the representa-
tive of one of the most carefully
maraged and powerful trades organizations
in the United States. BY some it is con-
strued as deliberate snub of the window
glass workers, and by others as an affront
to Mr.. Powderly and his order. In an in
terview to-day Isaac Cline, president of the
Window Glass Workers association, said
the rejection of Mr.. Denny indicated very
clearly that the trades unlonlsts' course

Friendly Mexicans.
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 10.-El Partido,
Liberal administration organ), says in its
leader to-day tha t President Cleveland's
message shows the American government
to be well disposed toward Mexico, and
that it seems reasonable to suppose that the
government at Washington has perceived
the magnitude and Importance Of the COM
mercial and industrial relations of the two
countries. Assurance is given that Mexico
feels herself attracted by the generous and
progressive principles Of the country Of
Washington. Hope is expressed that
the citizens of the United States
may not interpret the patriotic
spirit of the Mexican people in
recent international incidents as indicating
hostility toward the nations with which it
is hoped relations may become more and
more intimate and friendly. The belief is
expressed that the Washington cabinet will
modify its ideas regarding extra territorial
jurisdiction, which is maintained also by
other civilized nations. 1t is also said that
this difference of opinion on legal point
will not prejudice the preparation of new
treaty of friendship and commerce. The
entire article is cordial in tone and CORE
spends to the sentiments of Minister Maris-
cal. The article may be taken to express
the views of President DaZ.

Discussing wages, in one of his leo

facts of curious interest.
In 1893 the Schuylkill and Susque.
hanna Canal Company advertised for
workmen, offering $5 a month for the
winter months and Sc for summer, with
board and lodging The next year there
was debate in the House of Repre-
sentatives which brought out the fact
that soldiers got but SO month. A
Vermont member, discussing the pro-
posal to raise it to 81, said that in his
State men were hired for Els year, or
"a a month, with board and clothing.
Mr.. Wadsworth, of Pennsylvania, said:
.'In the States north of Pennsylvania
the wages of the common laborer are
not, upon the whole, superior to those
of the common soldier"
In 1897 Rhode Island farmer hired
good farm hand at 50 a month; and
S. month was paid to those who got

Gently some statistics concerning the
mortality from smallpox. He showed
that in the years between 1900 and 1870
from ~ to 60 out of every 100000 in
habitants of Prussia died annually of
smallpox, but that since the introduce
ton of compulsory vaccination and re-
vaccination, in 1874. the mortality in
that country has decreased to from .07
to Sc out of every 100000 inhabitants.
As the mortality from smallpox has
remained unchanged in Austria. En-
