FAST DRIVING AGAIN.
The Complaint of an Avenue Business
Man.

The Complaint of Avenue Business
Man.
A business man whose store is on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue and who has fire.
quently to cross it said yesterday: "Why
don't you call attention to the fact that fast
driving on crowded thoroughfares, and
particularly on Pennsylvania avenue, is on the
increase? ? The cab drivers have heretofore
been held up to the public gaze in this connec-
ton. They are culpable enough, but not half
so bad as some of those who, on pleasure bent,
frequently put pedestrians in cold sweat at
the intersections of the Avenue with various
streets between the Treasury and the Capitol.
The individuals in question are usually we'll
dressed and have the outward appearance of
gentlemen. But the manner in which they
speed their nags at the points mentioned
indicates that they are very thoughtless or
very brutal. There is no excuse for such
exhibitions of speed on streets where pedes-
trains throng. Washington is well supplied
with well-payed streets, which are compara-
lively safe for fast driving, if it must be in
dulged in within the city limits, and the
suburban drives are reasonably convenient
The fact is that much of this sort of driving
arises from sheer, shallow patedness just as
there are people who have what is styled
horse sense, so there are Others characterized
by horse vanity. The souls of these latter.
doubtless, fairly swim in an unctious ocean of
self-satisfaction as they hurry along the
Avenue behind fast steeds before the eyes of
the perpatetc multitude. The authorities
have been very assiduous Tor some time past
in the regulation of street beggars boot
blacks, peanut yenders, dodger fends, and
other small-fry misdemeanants. Why don't
they put the regulations against fast driving
into effect without fear or favor? When the
Post Office is established on the south side of
the Avenue if this thing is kept up, there will
be a daily list of people knocked down and
run over in crossing to get their mail"

THE POPE'S ADVICE
Some Hitherto Unpublished Parts
Of His Labor Enoyclical.
His Earnest Pleas for the Rights of
Workingmen and Women and the
SanctitY of Private Property.
LEO on LABOR.

LONDON, May 27.-Cardinal Man
ming, assisted by the archbishop of
Dublin and the bishop of Newport, has
just finished the English version of the
Pope's encyclical ON labor and it is now
in the haGds of the printers. The pope
himself translated the document into
French
Fresh extracts from the encyclical.
covering points which have not hereto
fore been cabled to the United States,
are just published. In one of them
the pope says the question of the
condition of labor is one of the
supreme questions of modern Christen-
dom in championing the rights of the
laborer to a human existence. This
point is enlarged upon with strong
emphasis, and insistency 10y his holt
ness on the mutual duties of employer
and employed is sufficient to make this
later encyclic; in itself memorable.
The pope as serts strongly the rights
of the work men to form unions for
lawful purposes and repudiates the the
ory that the Christian doctrine of con-
tentment implies stolid acquiescence
in existing evils.
The encyclical strongly condemns
the naturalization of land if based on
a denial of the rights of private owners.
1t takes strong ground against ma
tionalization added to confiscation, but
in no place condemns nationalist
tion coupled with compensation. Such
system is declared to be the mere sub
stitution of collective for individual
ownership, which may be decided upon
by community at its discretion with
out infringing any established princi-
Piles.
Touching the question of woman the
encyclical condemns the brutality,
existent in some countries, where
women are treated little better than
beasts, and asserts the claim of home
upon mother and wife. 1t defends,
also, the rights of family, even
against the stats, and asserts esnphasi-
cally that the state is fully justified in
interfering between employers and
employees and even between members
of a family in order to secure the rights
of each.
The document strongly asserts the
sanctity of private property, especially
in land, which, it maintains is the
keystone of the social edifce, which, if
interfered with, entails suffering
upon no one so much as upon the
workingman who has invested his saw
ings in small properties, Our part in
the Christian doctrine, the pope main
tains not only improves us but ineites
us to struggle still more for improve

RIOTS In PARIS.
The Striking Stage Drivers Have
Things Their Own Way.
They Prevent the Running of Omni-
bsses-The Police Overpowered
Military Aid Refused.
THEY HAVE THE PUBLIC SYMPATHY.

THEY HAVE THE PUBLIC SYMPATHY.
PARIS, May 27.-No settlement has
been reached in the strike of the stage
drivers, and the situation has been
at times quite threatening on ac-
count of an attempt by the stage COM
pany to run stages. The police were
present in large numbers, but were
unable to withstand the fury of the
strikers, who attacked the stages with
stones, broke through the police lines,
dragged the drivers from the boxes, cut
harnesses. and in several cases over
turned and smashed the stages The
drivers who had taken the places of the
strikers were roughly handled by the
mob. The streets in the vicinity were
filled with excited crowds who appeared
to be in sympathy with the strikers.
As yet the authorities have avoided
calling out the troops, and will prob
ably not do so, unless the riot
ing should become very serious. The
situation at noon was comparative
~ quiet, as the company had ceased its
endeavors to run stages. The COM
pany's offices and stations are strongly

turbulent strikers have been made. 1t
is rumored that the officials of the
company applied to M. de Freycinet
for troops to protect their property and
and enforce the running of the stages,
but that he was refused.
The extent to which the strikers en-
JOY the sympathy of the Partisan pub
lie may be judged from the fact that
many of the newspapers of this
city have opened subscriptions in
behalf of the strikers and their
families in order to enable the
drivers to successfully push their fight
with the stage company. The strikers
ask for twelve hours work per day and
the reinstatement of drivers belonging
to their union who have been discharged
for agitating this movement.

A VALID LAW.
The Supreme Court Renders an
Important Decision.
Senator Wilson's Original Package
Law Upheld--A Victory for the
Prohibitionists.
LIoroR DEALERS LOSE.

WASHINGTON, May s7.-The United
States supreme court on Monday de-
cided that the original-package law
passed by the last congress was valid
and constitutional, and that it went
into effect in all states where pro-
hibitory laws prevailed without
reenactment by the states of the
laws by which they forbade the
sale of Intoxicating liquors within
their boundaries, whether imported
from other states or not. Chief Justice
Fuller rendered the opinion of the
court, and the bench was united in
support of the conclusions to which he
arrived. though Justice GRAY an
nounced that Justices Harlan, Brewer
and himself did not concur in all the
reasoning of the opinion of the court
The case upon which the decision
was rendered was that of John NJ.
Wilkerson. sheriff of Shawnee conn
ty. Kan, appellant, Us. Charles A.
Rahrer, brought hero on appeal from
the decision of the circuit court
of the United States for the district
of Kansas against the state Rahrer
was the original package agent at
Topeka, Kan, of the firm of Maynard,
Hopkins & Co, of Kansas City. Mo,
and was arrested the day after the
original package law went into effect.
He claimed that the law was unconsti-
tutional. and also that it could not go
into operation until the state had re-
enacted its prohibitory laws
Chief Justice Fuller in discussing the
case remarked that the state by the
adoption of the constitution of the
United States surrendered certain
features of their rights to regulate COM
merce in the productions of other
tates.
The court held that although the
liquor in question arrived in Kansas
prior to the passage of the act by con
gress it was not necessary for the state
If Kansas to reenact its prohibitory
law after the passage of the CON
gressional act in order to shut out
liquors in original pacl1ings.
The supreme court reversed the
action of the circuit court and re-
manded the case for further proceed
ings The decision is accepted by the
prohibitionists as favorable to their
cause and support of the state laws
inasmuch as it reverses the action of
the lower court which had ordered
Rahrer'S release.

CANADIANS PROTEST.

Lord Salisbury Is Unabls to Come to
Decision Regarding a Closed Season in
the Behring Sea because of Objections
from Canada.
New YORK, May 81. A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says Lord
Salisbury has at last broken his long
silence in regard to the Behring sea
agreement, but he has not broken Il IN
a way which affords much relief to the
administration He has neither ac-
cepted nor rejected Mr. Blaine's sue-
gestion that a closed season be agreed
to on condition that the North Ameri-
can Fur Sealing Company be allowed
to take seals enough TO compensate
them for their expenses at the Seal
islands. His communication does not
come in writing, but was delivered by
Sir Julian Pauncefote to the president
Sir Julian said that Lord Salisbury is
not indifferent to the importance of the
subject, nor is he seeking needless de-
lay. He has hesitated because of the
strong opposition which has devel-
oped all over British North Amer
lea to a closed season. Protests
have come not only from the peo-
pie in British Columbia, but from
those of Canada Lord Salisbury is
greatly troubled by the feeling in Can
ada, which he does not wish to affront
although he says that he would like TO
reach an amicable agreement for
closed season. He sent Sir Julian to
the president to make his position
clear, and to show that he is not in
tentionally delaying action, but is
studying the question with view to
solution.
While the president and the cabinet
are willing to accept the protestations
of Lord Salisbury SO far as circnm-
stances justify them, they feel that it is
getting too late in the season to pelter
The subject will be taken up and dis
cussed with considerable warmth at
the meeting of the cabinet Thursday
If nothing more satisfactory has been
received from Lord Salisbury by that
time, conclusion win probably be
reached without his assistance.

DOING BLAINE'S WORK.

Confirmation of the Rumor That Gen.

WASHINGTON, May %. - Gen. John

Russia, Spain, etc, who neg otiated the
recently-made commercial treaty with
Spain, had long conference with
President Harrison Monday morning,
during which the Boring sea, seal fish
cries and other important diplomatic
questions now pending were discussed.
The report that Gen. Foster was acting
for Secretary blaine in the principal
diplomatic problems unfinished during
the absence of the latter has been con-
frmed While no official statement Is
made upon the subject it is well under
stood that Gen. Foster, who has the
affairs of the department of state well
in hand, will during the illness or alb
sence of Secretary Blaine look after the
completion of the most important mat
tiers requiring diplomatic skill. Gen.
Foster has for many years been re-
garded as one of the most slillful dip
donates in the country, and the
Behring sea or any other problem
would be safe in his charge. He is

AN IMPROBABLE REPORT.
Rumor of Combination Between Russia
France and the United states.

France and the United states.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-A good deal of
gossip is caused by the publication of a
column article in local paper, pur-
porting to outline the new for
eign police of the administra-
ton. The article speaks in a
confident tone. which indicates semi
authoritative statement. 1t says the
president and Mr.. Blaine are in full ac-
cord, and the departure of Blaine for
Maine will not affect the foreign policy
of the administration. 1t proceeds
to say that new policy toward
European nations will be adopted by
the administration and that, owing to
England's unfriendly attitudes toward
the United States, secret al
lance will be made between
Russia, France and the United
States, in which this country can
expect aid from those nations in case
of war with European pow
ers, but the United States will not
be expected to take a hand in
any wars between European ma
tions only. Another feature of
the policy, according to the story,
will be the Intervention of the
United States in the Gillian trouble
and putting an end to the war there.
No official confirmation of the story
can be gained, but its tone is such as to
lead TO the belief that it has at least
some foundation in fact or intention.
