GAME SHIFTS The ISSUE.

He Does Not Go to His Constituents on
the License Question.
LONDON, June 2i-The election address
issued by Caine, the Unionist member for
Barrow-in- Furness, who resigned his seat
Monday night, and Is seeking reelection
on an anti compensation platform, is of
character that has caused surprise
among all parties. From the tone of his
address to his constituents, it is evident
that Game is paving the way for his re-
turn to the Liberal fold, where he will be
heartily welcomed. 1t is especially no.
ticeable that he does not go to his constit-
uents on the liquor issue alone, but makes
a bid for Home Rule support
A Gladstone Plank in His Platform.
He expresses his conviction that the
errors into which the Liberal party were
led by their desire to do justice to Ire
land have been remedied; that the de-
fective portions of the plan of home rule
have been eliminated from the scheme and
that the principles of that programme
will be accepted by the people at the next
general elections. Nothing stronger than
this declaration of Liberal principles could
be expected from one of Gladstone's most
steadfast followers. and this, together
with his consistent opposition to the gov
ernment's compensation scheme, should
secure to him the undivided Gladstonian
vote in his district. The Conservatives
will nominate a candidate to contest
Gaines seat, and the Unionist leaders
have decided to support the Tory.

hold. | am confident that this fall they
will carry the First Second, Third. Fifth

west are gradually waking uD to the fact
that indirect taxation is pretty direct tax

pockets | think it will be found that
Senator Allison is occupying strong po-
sition in favor of lower tariff" This
sounds optimistic, but il is warranted by
the results of last falls election. and by
the fact that some of the most influential
republican papers in the state, represent
ing constituencies that agree with them,
have recently taken a decided stand
against the Mckinley bill.
MIR. Murphy also spoke of the Henne
pin canal. whose construction he has
been advocating for a quarter of Gen.
fury past. The bill, ;" he said, has al
ready passed the house. Twice it has
passed the senate in previous congresses
and on last Monday it was favorsbly
acted on by the senate commerce
committee with practicable unsn-
unity. 1t was the first canal scheme in
America TO receive widespread endo:s
ment. Such strict constructionist rs

the blush on America by its magnificent

dangerous assault than the Atlantic

Island can furnish immediate defense
But more than all else the cheap outlet
which it will afford the products of the
west will add untold millions 20 its
wealth" Certainly the vast objects to be
achieved justify the Inauguration and
completion of the work. Should the
present congress make and the president
approve of an appropriation for the i'm
prOvement, the glory of the result will be
mainly due to Mir. Murphy, who has done
more hard, persistent, unselfish work in
behalf of the project than any other man
in the United States.

A CONFERENCE WITH SULLIVAN.

The Strikers Make Their Charges Against
Russell and He Replies
At p. m. yesterday Superintendent Sui
livan's office was crowded with the strik-
ers' committee, which had come to make
its charges against Russell, who was also
present. In brief, the Spokesman said that
Russell's position was offensive to the
men. He was uncourteous to them when
they Were obliged to enter his Office on
the company's business. was uncivil and
impolite to them on every occasion, and
in several instances had insulted employees
by questioning both their honesty and We
racity. He had discharged conductor
without cause.
RusselI's Reply to the Charges.
To this broad though indefinite charge
Mr.. Russell entered a general denial He
said he aimed to treat the men kindly
and with consideration, and never thought
lessly or otherwise offended or insulted
them. Concerning the conductor he had
caused to be discharged, he said that he
was out on one of the remote branch lines,
and having left his passes at his hotel, and
being unknown to the conductor thought
it best to pay the small fare between his
stations rather than ask the conductor to

required pasteboard. He asked the fare.
and was told it was 81, which he paid. Ar
irving at his destination, he told of the
incident as joke on himself, and was told
that he was ahead ~ cents as the fare be-
tween the two points was sl.22.
Result of an Investigation.
He thought it strange tn at the conduc-
tor had not asked for the full amount, and
returning to his Office some two weeks
afterward sent 10 the auditors Office for
the conductors trip report on that date.
Ii had not been turned in, and the auditor
reported that the conductor in question
was very derelict in the matter of trip re-
ports. Several demands were made from
the general Offices for the report, and final
ly, after five weeks had. passed, it was re-
ceived, but in it no mention was made of
any cash fares collected. An investigation
was had, and it was demonstrated that
the conductor was leading a fast life, and
tigation was made by the passenger de-
partment, and the dismissal of the con-
ductor that followed was not of Mr.. Rus
sells doing at all.
No Progress Toward Settlement.
Mr.. Russell also denied all the other
charges, and made better case than the
men, as he gave specific facts. 1t was
quite plai& that the company's officials
did not co.ssider that a case had been
made out against Russell, and it was just
as easy to see that they meant 10 stick by
him, strike or no strike. The men were
urged to resume the suburban service, but
positively refused.
