From 'bs Nt J1Ws. H1-sus.
An interesting report by Mr.. j Bur.
uett, labor correspondent to the Board
Of Trade. on ihc strikes that occurred
last year. has Just been issued. From
this II appears that IN 1889 strikes took
place In 3lGl establishments in this
country As In 1858, and due to the
same Teason-namuly, rising labor
maTket-Gi per cent of the strikes
were due 10 claims for advanced wages,
although In some cases there were
other points of dispute also involved
or those for advances In wages iS3
per cent were successful The pro.
portion of those partially successful
was 3lj Ter cent lOi per cent. We're
not az all successful, and the results
were unknown in the remaining
strikes
Oftbe financial aspectof strikes some
interesting particulars are given TAX
inc 5yl of the strikes the loss Of wages
Is estimated az c6l2 600, while the loss
20 each individual would be a little over
90 5s For $50 of the strikes the loss
foI the 3ii $40 persons engaged Is
taken AZ 81 l22 500 Ia 2lG instances
il is shown by employers whose men
have been on strike that the value Of
fixed capital laid idle was Gil $50 062
While IN 1863 instances the Tatable value
OF property laid idle was E269 6Si Ia
233 strikes the estimated outlay caused
for laying down and re0pening the
works 90 strike was ttG9. 2IS. Ou the
other hand, the returns sent In by trade
unions show that in 800 strikes the
smOunt expended In support of men by
strike committees or uade unions was

days Of sightseeing the colonel suggested

would not be complete without a dinner at
Delmonico's. The major agreed.

one man avowed that he saw the MILDLY
executed and thrown into the sea walking
over the forecastle. So il went on for days
and nights until our ship reached New

but l have never met one of them to this
day, and all of them are old men now, who
has forgotten an incident of that arrest
and execution. | never sailed On that yes
sci again, but took French leave of the
navy very soon after our arrival at the
Brooklyn navy yard. This tragic event

The old salt who graphically told this
tragedy of the sea is wrinkled and gray
With him was an old shipmate who had
been his companion on that fateful voyage
so many years ago. Every now and then
he would add some fresh point to the mar
rative that the speaker had forgotten, and
by the two a wonderfully complete story is
told. The midshipman that was hanged
with the two sailors was Philip Spencer,
son of John c. Spencer, then secretary of
war in Tyler's cabinet. The event con
vulsed the nation, and brought Capt. Mac
kenzie to trial, first before naval court,
and then upon the charge of murder.
which the civil courts dismissed for the
want of jurisdiction. How strange it is
after all these years to find men still deal
ing in the affairs of every day life who
witnessed that tragedy nearly fifty years
ago-one which Gail Hamilton, in
thoughtful review of the case. pronounces
murder on the part of Capt. Mackenzie,
the commsndant of the American man-of-
war.-Bostou Herald.

PROTEST AGAINST THE TARIFF BILL

board of trade recently issued a call for a
meeting of importers of leaf tobacco, to
take action on the Mckinley bill. The
meeting took place today and there was a
very large attendance, the largest houses
in the trade being represented Carson
Mayer, president of the board, occupied
the chair. The chairman explained that it
will result in disaster to the trade if the
Mckinley bill is passed in the present
shape, and it will be impossible to get the
merchandise out of bond in the time pro-
posed by the bill. The meeting was unan-
imously in favor of petition to congress

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. S-The Kan
sas City, Fort Scott e. Memphis railroad
has issued harvest excursion tickets to
points in its territory at IL cent a mile
going and 4 cent mile returning. The
rule heretofore with these harvest tickets
has been to issue them at cents mile for
the round trip. If a purchaser of ticket
located at his point of destination he
would sell the return coupon. This gave
the scalpers a harvest on this class Of
tickets. To prevent scalping, the Mem
phis route has issued the tickets at IL cent
a mile going, giving the purchaser the
