JACKSONVILLE, FLA. Aug. 2S.-The cigar

Tampa to-day announced that contribu-
lions from there would reach here Monday
Steps have been taken to induce the men to
submit the matter to arbitration. John j
Holland, prominent Knight Of Labor aci
tator, had conference with Manager Ga o
last night and addressed largely attended
meeting of the strikers this afternoon. He
urged them to meet Manager Cato half
way ana to compromise the matter.
POOR CHANCE
he explained to ITEM that not being
members of any general or branch labor
organization, they could not get assistance
from the country at large as is us
ual in strikes. All the help they can
get Will not amount to SIS pgr
man, mere trife. He advised
compromise for the sa 3 of the idle men
with large fami les to support. The men
listened patiently, but voted mo- solidlv.
They build grea hopes on help from Hay-
ana. If that proves to be only a small
amount, the strikers will probably go to
pieces Immediately.

Restoring a Canal.

to note that the State Of Pennsylvanii Is
seriously considering the restoration Of
the Pittsburg and Erie canal which f |

cana was constructed before the railroad
period, to connect lake Erie with the
Ohio River and thus make a continuous
line Of water transportation between
New York and New Orleans. Begin

Pittsburgh, because the Ohio river
makes a great bend to the Eorth before
it starts on its south western course and
Beaver is lhiity miles nearer to Erie
than Pittsburgh is
To its day the canal was a most inn
portant link in the direct route from
New York to the west and south west,
and the mighty stream of emigration
from the Eastern States and from Europe
that overhowed the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys, during the first half of the pres
ent century, poured considerable part
of its food through this waterway -
After the railroads we're built passenger
travel on the canal ceased. and as com
petng lines gathered up the local freight
the business of travelling gradually died

With the extraordinary development
of the manufacturing industries of Pitts

Legislature passed an act authorizing
the Governor to appoint commission
