whole population is putting forth every
effort TO make each soldier remember
the city of the straits with pleasure
throughout his remaining years. Not
only have the outer gates Of the city
been thrown open, but the citizens have
left their doors open, and each guest Of
the people must feel that he is welcome
in the brOadeSt sense of the word.
Decorations both public and private

and nothing Is lacking that could aod

Nothing can detract from the pleasure

Detroiters welcome their guests.
And there is no lack Of guests. There

A BITTER STRUGGLE
Between the Window-G Glass Workers and
Manufactur

PITTsBURG, PA, August "A bitter
struggle between the window-glass
manufacturers and their employees
seems to be inevitable. Tho annual
joint wage conference was held at Find
lay, but no settlement was reached be-
cause Of the great difference between
them. Five hours was spent In discus
sion, and the conference finally ad-
journed without fixing date for an
other meeting.
The work scale demands an increase
OF eight per cent. in the wages OF gath
erers, and that no cutter shall carry
out glass, while the manufacturers ask
for an all-round reduction OF ten per
cedt. to equal the wages with the
northern district. Both sides were
firm, and refused to make any conces-
slons. A shutdown will affect about
SIX thousand employees.

DUBLIN, Ang. 2.-There were trium-

day, and numerous buildings were deco
rated with flags and evergreens, because
of the Parnellite meeting held there,
which was enthusiastic and largely at
tended.
Mr.. Parnell's hearers were, however,
chiefly from the rural districts. AS Mr..
Parnell was driving 10 the place Of
meeting, the horses were detached from
the carriage by men in the crowd, and
the people dragged the vehicle to the
market square.
In his speech Mr.. Parnell reaffirmed
his distrust of the Liberals, and said his
policy would not change. He would
keep his hands unfettered until it was
seen how the Liberals fulfilled their
pledges. He would warn Dillon and
O'Brien that they were following a dan
gerous course In trusting to Mr.. Glad
stone.

Great Quarrel on Hand.
BosroN, August 2.-For some time
past there has been trouble in the
Twelfth Baptist church society (colored)
whose church is located on Phillips
street. The church has been without
a pastor for several months and a call
on behalf of a portion Of the members
was recently extented to Rev. Henry H.
Harris, former pastor. Mr.. Harris
has been resting under criminal
charge, and owing to this fact there
was a strong element in the church op-
posed to his becoming their pastor. 1t
was announced that he would preach
to-day and the opposing faction was
hound IL possible to prevent him.
About 3 o'clock this morning as one OF
the Harris men was passing the church
ba .o+sa~S-, e-vuOi~& -sjhNis>-op5, an uj7 KlSr
ing the sexton, they effected an en-
trance to the church, where seven Of
the anti-Harrls men were found busily
engaged in mailing and boarding up all
the doors and windows, while a large
plaoard had been prepared announcing
the church would be closed until Sep
tember.
After long discussion the anti-Har-
ris party was elected from the building.
This forenoon, however, one Of their
number swore out warrant charging
Rev. Mr.. Harris with performing an
abortion, with a view to preventing his
appearance in the pulpit to-day. Mr..
Harris, learning of this action, went to
the police station where the warrant
was read TO him and was released on

officer he then proceeded to the church,

roughly clad man, gazing steadfastly ahea d,

There was reckless look about his hard
mouth, scowl upon his forehead and lines
upon his still young-looking face that told
their story of hard living. Presently his
eyes shifted their gaze and, glancing down
ward. fell carelesSly upon the picture in front
of HIM. A half-listless interest held his

look was less noticeable, shade D Assed over

A COMPETING RAILROAD.
The Record Union says:

The Record Union says;
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
Company, of which there is some considerable
trains into san Francisco at any hour over the
Southern Pacific tracks. 1t Is, therefore, when
ever II wishes, as fully competing road as IL 1t
had separate track TO the metropolis but the
intelligence OF San Francisco does not seem to
have been able TO grasp this simple fact OF exist
ing conditions.
The intelligence of San Francisco is acute
enough to grasp the fact that the right OF
the Atkinson, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad
Company to run its trainS on the Southern
Pacific tracks would not long survive real
competition on the part of the Santa Fe
Company. Freight rates to and from the
East are now fixed by the Transcontinental
Railroad Association, and are the same for
Que road as for the other. 1t is not sup
posable either, that if the Santa Fe road
should detach itself from the Transconti-
mental Association it would be allowed to
use the tracks of road remaining in the
association TO beat down the rates estab-
lished for both roads. The San Francisco
papers which our Sacramento contemporary
assumes to be ignorant of the contract be-
tween the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
company, respecting the use by the latter of
the formers track, understand perfectly well
that such contract exists and also the con-
ditions upon which it is held.
