What Depew Heard and Saw.

New YORK, September ia meeting of
the Union League club was held with Mr..
Chauncey NJ. Depew in the chair. General
w. I. Sherman was on the platform. Mr..
Depew made a speech. He thanked the club
for its cordial welcome upon his return from
abroad, and said: ''Of all the great Ameri-
cans known on the other side, not even ex-
cepting General Grant, none are so well
known as James G. Blaine and William Nc
Kinley. They seem to regard Mckinley as
man who has been studying up economic
subjects and has invented new scheme by
which to close up the factories of Europe
and starve the people into submission to the
American government. They piled me with
questions as to Mckinley, tried to get an ex-
preston as to the nature of the man, what
he is going to do with all the people abroad.
l replied that my notion of Mckinley was
that possibly he had an idea of inducing
them to migrate with all their factories and
workmen to the great American country and
thus help give greater consuming power to
the agricultural products. Inasmuch as
some of the great governments abroad had
taken a notion that they did not want to be
on familiar terms with the American hog,
the best they could do was to increase the
capacity of the American hog at
home"

NV YORK, September ia committee
of five of the e1-employes of the New York
Central railroad who went out on strike
called on Chauncey NJ. Depew IN his office
at the Grand Central depot at IL O'Clock.
They were headed by Thomas Balsney, an
old freight conductor, and Mr.. Gsffney, an
other striker, acted as spokesman. The fol-
lowing conversation between Mr.. Depew
and Mr.. Gsffney followed:
, Mr.. Gaffney-fWe have come to talk over
the strike on the New York Central rail-
road
Mr.. Depew-"Tm afraid there is nothing
to talk about. The strike is virtually over
now"
Mr.. Gaffney-"The strike is not over, be
cause ali the men on the road who are men,
bers of labor organizations have quit work
and are now out.
Mr.. Depew-''They have chosen to resign
their positions. Mr.. Webb, who was man.
aging the road in my absence, took new
men in their places when they quit work.
His action has been sustained by the execu-
tive board of management of the road. The
places of those men have now been filled
and that's the end of il.
Mr.. Gafney then asked Mr.. Depew to
wait until the committee had discussed the
matter, ana said that they would then return
and make their propositions to him.
Mr.. Depew replied-"There is no use IN
making false promises to you. There is
nothing more to be done. l do not care to
talk over back numbers. You have chosen
to resign your places. Mr.. Webb has filed
hem and have nothing more to say"
The committee then left the office.

The Clerical Horse Racer.

MUsKEGoN, Mich, September 1.-THE
district conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, assembled here. has on its docket
the case of Rev. J. w. Arney, the liberal
minded Methodist minister of Saranac, who
owns and loves speedy horses, and not many
weeks ago gave a little trOt of his own. The
Rev. gentleman has been cited to explain his
conduct, and the fact that the surplus funds
from the meeting were applied to the reduc-
ton of the church debt has not tended to
assuage the wrath of his elder brethren.
P6stor Arney takes the grounds that there is
nothing in Divine writ which prohibits a
preacher of the Word from admIring Gods
creation in the matter of heet-footed animals,
ana despite circumstances he has not only
maintained but also increased his stable.
Pastor Arney himself is not at all worried
over the outlook, his flock at Saranac sticks
by him and he knows it. He has preached
many a sermon and drawn many a moral
lesson from his stable, and in SO doing, as he
says himself, he has brought forth fruits for
repentance. As to the right of the confer
ence to take action in the matter, Pastor
Arney says: ''The church cannot dictate TO
me what l shall do, or what shall not do
beyond a certain limit. l am not going out
of my way in the least to apologize or at
tempt a vindicatiOn. | have done nothing
wrong, and am perfectly willing to abide by
the result. If l see fit to give another horse
race in the future that is my affair, and ] do
not cOncede that a church has any right to
interfere with me so long as l serve my peo-
pie as pastor" His congregation are very
fond of him, and back him through thick
and thin In the contest.

Formal Complaint to the British Consul

Formal Complaint to the British Consul
CHICAGO, September 13.-An international
question of some importance - involved in
the difficulties between the captain of the
Canadian schooner Sligo and the officials of
the seamen's union. The Sligo arrived at
Chicago with nom union shipping crew of
four men. The seamen we're "seen" by a
sailor committee from the union and the re-
suits are the crew will not continue in the
service of the Sligo, although she claims 20
have explicit agreements with all of them.
The captain charges that the unions have in
terfered with the rights of Canadian seamen,
and has made formal complaint to James
Hayes, the British consul here. The latter
will make an effort to have the matter
clearly and officially defined and brought to
a settlement. President ]. G. Elderking of
the seamen's union said: 1.-The non-union
men aboard the Sligo were working for $50
a month, while the boat with its American
charter carries American freight to and from
American ports. The men in the union get
81 day, or three times the amount paid the
Canadians.
when the vessel came here the men came
up in the city, and finding the superior ad-
vantages of the union, both as regards wages
and fraternal benefits, some of them joined
our union at once, and all voluntarily de-
clined to return to their work at the low
wages they were receiving. All that our Or
ganiZatioD does is in the interest of Ameri-
can labor and American shipping interests"

BERLIN, September 17.-Emperor William
made an important speech at a banquet at
BreslAu. In the course of his remarks he
said that he hoped that other provinces would
initiate Silesia in regard to the improving Of
the condition of workingmen. He agreed
with the liberals, who declared that state
coercion was not the right way to oppose
social democracy and that society must help
itself. Social reforms, he said, could only
be introduced By the citizens themselves.
He trusted the people would awake from
their lethargy and not leave it to the state to
struggle with perversive elements.

The Iowa Railroad Commissioners.

DIES MONIES, Ia, September 12.-The Iowa
railroad commissioners are preparing for
another tussle with the railroads of the state
IN the courts. This is caused by firm de-
termination on the part of the commission
ers to give the people of the state joint rates
and the equally firm determination on the
part of number of the leading railroads
not to submit to further dictation at the
hands of the commissioners. In response it
was deemed public demand of the last leg
stature which passed q law establishing Joint
rates. The railroads resisted enforcement
OF the law on the ground of unconstitution-
atty, and Judge Fairall, of Iowa City, has
issued q permanent injunction restraining
the commissioners from attempting to en-
force it. Pending an appeal to the supreme
court the commissioners determined to at
tain the desired end by another means. Re-
lying upon the original railroad law of Iowa,
which gives the commissioners power to
make rates; they issued an order August
establishing what they termed Crates for a
continuous haul over two or more roads"
The order was to 60 into effect August Is,
but at that time none of the roads showed
any disposition to adopt it. A week later
the commission addressed a letter. to each
general manager asking whether or not his
road expected to obey the commissioners or
not. As only about half of the Iowa roads
have signited their intention of complying
with the commissioners request, Attorney
General Stone has been instructed to COM
mence mandamus proceedings to compel the
adoption OF the Joint rate rule against the
following roads:
The Iowa Central, Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, Chicago d Northwestern, Chicago,
Milwaukee d st. Paul and the Chicago, Bur
lington d Quincy. These suits will be Wig
orously prosecuted.

Accessory to the Murder.

JACKSON, MISS, September 13.-Judge
Calhoun, president of the constitutional
convention, occupied the floor for nearly
two hours IN support of his electoral college
plan; He did not propose to mince matters
ana hlde behind subterfuge, but if asked
by anybody if it was the purpose of the con-
yention to restrict negro suffrage he would
frankly answer, ''Yes, that is what we are
mere for" The fiat has gone forth that
fraud, force and intimidation must cease,
and II the convention failed to insure white
supremacy by peaceful methods, he would,
IN case negro was hereafter killed in po-
ltlcal not, regard himself and every mem
Der OF the convention as accessory to the
murder. The speaker then made an elabor-
ate constitutional argument to prove that
the plan he favored was republican In form.
1t Will be remembered that this plan d.
Vldes the state into thirteen electoral dis
trlcts, eight of which will have a white ma
lorlty, and that these electors shall elect all
state and county officers and the state sem
ate, the legislature alone to be elected by the
people,

fighter of the Meadows, the upper end of the

PRECIPITATION.

The rains this week have been confined
principally to the middle and eastern dlvi-
sions. In the southern counties it is light,
out, increasing northward, it eliminates, in
one inch and upward, in the Saline and
Kaw valleys. diminishing thence northward.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature has been below the nor
NAL for the week throughout the state.
Cloudy weather has ruled in the eastern and
largely in the middle division, while there
has been an excess of sunshine in the western.
RESULTS.
In the Kaw valley, and in the first and
second tier of counties to the south, the wet
weather has delayed blowing, seeding and
haying, while the trees are starting new
sprouts, and in the contiguous parts of Lyon,
Chase and Greenwood the early apple trees
are out in full blossom. In Leavenworth the
apples being now marketed are greatly i'm
proved.
In the eastern division the wet weather.
while interfering with haying aud threshing,
has materially aided all crops that are grow
ing, and has placed the pastures in their June
dress; yet, owing to the deficient tempera-
ture, corn ripens slowly. Much, or most, of
the corn fodder is, and will be cut.
In the middle division cattle are doing
Oebtot IMAM at any Otner time this season,
pastures are very good, and hay grass greatly

well, yet in the southern counties more rain
is needed to prepare the ground for fall seed
ing, as 1t Is drying on the surface, though
the young rye, already up, is growing rap
idly. In the central counties ground is wet.
In the western division the ground Is too
dry for plow1ng in the northern and south
