The declaration OF the North German
Gazette 10 the effect that commercial
union of the Central European powers
aaainst the United States has been pro-
nosed. is undoubtedly Inspired by su-
thority. This, however. is far from say
Ing that retaliation upon the United
States is seriously contemplated. The
terms. indeed, in which the proposition
e stated indicate that it is designated
for effect there rather than here. 1t
takes tho form OF \ suggestion that
France. and perhaps Russia, may, II
either is willing, be admitted TO Gus
toms alliance with Germany, Austria
and Italy, and that the purpose OF the
combination is not hostile to the two
countries named, but TO the United
States.
There is no doubt that union OF the
European powers in accepting the chsl-
lense Of the United States to enter upon
q war OF custom rates could be prosecu-
ted in a way to infict great injury upon
our INDUSTRIES. But it is hardly credi-
HE that IL will be undertaken in the
manner indicated by the North German
gazette. The Mckinley policy Of exclu-
sion may be left with confidence to WORK
ont IT'S own destructioa.

OWEN TO TIE FORE AGAIN.

Undisturbed by the Snub which Sec
rotary FOSTER was compelled to admin
lister to him, Mr.. OWEN, Superintendent
of Immigration, comes forward again
with plan for arranging the interpre-
tation Of the alien contract labor law to
suit tho tariff barons who wish to evade
IT, His new idea is that "the employer
and his employees should get together
and between them decide upon the per-
centage of foreign skilled laborerS
needed" He says that If this is done
and the Commissioner Of immigration
notified as to what extent it is desirable
to violate the law lit would go far in
guiding him" Ill his action.
superintendent OwES is more original
in his conception of the force of the
law and the discretion of officers in the
Interpretation of the law, than any
other official that this administration
has created. AS regards the practical
working of his scheme of creating a
sort Of Supreme Court out of emyloyv-.-
and workmen, it may be noted that
Mr.. NIEDRIYGHAUs and the iron and
steel workers, who would probably be
the first to undertake to "get together"
for the purpose designated, are now
zriting letters charged with reciprocal
contempt and giving interviews in which
accusations of very bad motives are ex-
changed.

The Centennial Celebration Oh ING S'oeo W
Vermont.
p,Sy1NGroS, W., August l6.-Wnen
the Legislature last fall planned an acl
providing for the ceremonies attending
upor the dedication Of the Bennington
hattie monument and the centennial
celebration OF the admission to the Un-
ion of the State OF Vermont, they pro-
bably realized in small measure the
great proportions which the celebration
xould assume. To-day Bennington Is
decked from its eastern boundary TO
the old Bennington on the NIL, anu
complete wave of bunting and hags.
Midway in this panorama STANDS the
triumphal arch, lighted tonight with
more than two hundred electric lights.
This arch is on the eastern side the
motto ''l79l-the best legacy OF YER
monts first century is her sons and
her daughters-lS9l."
On the opposite side are the follow
ing: "1777-you see the Red Coats; they
are ours or Mollie Stark sleeps widow
tonight" being the historic words NJ
tered by Gen. Stark as he rallied his
men to fight on the field OF Bennington.
The other half of the same side OF the
arch ha. the words: peace hath her
victories: 20 less renowned than war
1891" These are the notices that
were used on the arch of 1877.
This ls a living arch and will
represent Cd both sides the

Causes a Hurried Suspension OF Work on
the Island Bridge

Saturday evening the work Of putting
in the floor system on the west half OF
the camel span Of the new Island
bridge was practically completed, and
yesterday the work OF knocking out the
blocks which support the west 16O feet
OF the span on the false work was com
menced. Before the work had pro-
crossed very far the superstructure
showed some signs Of giving, and braces
Of heavy timber were hastily placed in
position and block and tackle were
rugged up to lead additional stability to
the span.
Last evening number Of rumors as
to the extent of the accident were In
circulation, but none of them could be
verified, as neither Mr.. Baird, of the
contracting firm. nor any one else hav.
ing knowledge OF the real situation,
could be found.
1t was the intention to begin the re.
moval of the next 100 feet of false work
to-day, but this will DOW depend upon
the security of that portion Of the span
now in place.

TALE OF A MULE.
Shut Up In n Coal Bank for Two Weeks,
without Food.

Without Food.
About three weeks ago white mule
belonging to Bell Bros, the South Side
coal operators, which did service in that
firms bank In the Eighth ward, strayed
away from home, and no trace Of the
missing animal could be found. It's
owners advertised for the mule for sew
eral days. offering a reward for its cap
ture, but to no avail.
Last Friday the Superintendent OF
Koontz's coal bank, heard a peculiar
noise in an air shaft in the mine, and
proceeding in the direction from which
the noise came. was surprised to find his
muleship locked up in the unused shaft.
How it got there is mystery. 1t had
probably been in the bank for two
weeks, and during that time had moth.
ingo to eat, but subsisted on copperas
water. The animal was returned ID its
owner, and is getting along nicely.
