THE HOMESTEAD STRIKE.

The one theme of absorbing interest dur
ing the past week has been the great strike
at the Carnegie mills at Homestead,
Pennsylvania. and the bloody battle which
followed between the iron workers and the
Pinkertons. 1t has been on everybody's
tongue and the newspapers have lost sight
of most everything else in efforts to answer
the one question of, How goes the striker"
1t had been predicted that the strike would
not end without serious trouble; but of
sudden the press startled the public with
"scare heads" like this: bullets and Blood,

One OF the poorest arguments brought
against the Homestead strike is that the
wOrkmen would. even under the proposed
ropean wOrkmen are receiving in the same
industries. That argument should not be
used unless it is desired to reduce American
labor to the pauper condition of European

Trouble.
New YORK, Oct. 1S.-The police have
distinguished prisoner at headquar-
ters. 1t is Domingo l.. Ruiz, consul
general of Ecuador, South America a
tottering and whits-haired man of sew
enty-one.
He admits having forged the name of
Gustave Preston, vice consul of Ecua-
dor, to two notes for 81 900 each. The
detectives found Ruiz with Mrs. Bertha
Laws, the woman to whom he gave the
money. He has been locked up in a
cell at police headquarters the same as a
common thief.
Preston says that in the early part of
the summer Ruiz offered him the vice
consulship. Preston is a merchant at
Boston. Ruiz represented that on ac-
count of business interests between South
American ports and Boston he was anx-
ious to have q vice consul in that city,
and that Preston was just the man for
the place. The latter accepted the ap-
pointment.
Ruiz borrowed $1,000 from Preston
and afterward forged the notes for 81, 900
additional. Ruiz comes from the no.
bility, and the title of count was be-
slowed upon him.
Bertha Krunstadt, the housekeeper
and pretended daughter of Domingo l..
Ruiz, the consul general of Ecuador,
who is accused of forgery, was Monday
morning arraigned in the jeff erson Mar
ket police court, and remanded until
Wednesday for examination. Ruiz is
in Jail for lack of $4,000 bail, but it is
expected that he will be able to obtain
bonds during the day. Both Ruiz and
the woman claim that they are victims
of conspiracy.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
A MERCANTILE NEW ERA.
Significance Of the Transatlantic vi
Contract,

Contract.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1S.-President G
A. Griscom, of the International Navi-
CATION company, said Monday regarding
the signing of the transatlantic mail
contract by the postmaster general that
the contract had not been returned to
the company and the only information
he received was through,the newspapers
but it was undoubtedly authentic.
"This is an event of national import
ance," said Mr.. Griscom, "and is the
beginning of new era in America mer-
camille traffic. The new cruisers will
have capacity to carry four-inch guns.
The coal bunkers will be used to pro.
tect the sides Of the boats, and the deckf
will be of extraordinary strength to sup,
port the guns. Apart from these differ
ences the vessels will not vary from
other passenger crafts.
"The service to Boulogne and Ant
werp will be undertaken by vessels
which will probably be classed with the
Red Star feet, but this is not deter.
mined upon. OF course, none of the
ships at present in the Red Star fleet are
equal to the requirements. The City of
Paris and the City Of New York will be
placed under the American flag during
one of the overhaul periods in the win.
ter, possibly during this winter. s
Professor j. Fl. Biles, professor Of
naval construction at the University of
Glasgow, has been in this city some
time at work on designs. One day often
destroys the work of the day previous
and at this time there is nothing def
mite to say regarding the designs. A
number of designers are at work all the
time, and construction will be COM
menced within six months.
"The new vessels will be officered and
manned by American seamen. We have
several American captains and junior
officers in our employ, and it would be
hard to find more skillful, braver and
intelligent men. OF course, this is a gi-
gantic experiment. The probability is
that 1t will meet with proportionate sue
cess, but in the event of anything un-
foreseen happening at any time we
should be able to sell the ships to sail
under foreign flag. However, appre-
hend that nothing of this kind is likely
to happen, and our business relations
with the government will continue to
be of the most cordial nature"

Uncle Sam VIII See to 1t,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.-News from
Butaritara, the chief city of the Gilbert
islands, gives gloomy outlook for
American traders on the islands unless
the United States does something to
protect their rights. Since the British
flag was hoisted in July the Americans
have been subjected to many insults
and the native chiefs have been plainly
told not to pay any attention to the or
ders of United States Consular Agent
Rick, who heretofore had settled all dis
putes and had been the real power on
the islands. Commander Davis, of the
British man-ofwar Royalist, went out
of his way to insult both the king and
the leading Americans.

AT the close of Judge Turney's re-
marks loud calls were made for Judge
Tyler, who responded in short
speech inviting everybody to go to
Louise. Judge Tyler was followed
by Hon. d. N. Kennedy, who paid
to Judge Turney glowing tribute
and as usual worked up much en-
thusiasm among the large crowd.
DIR. Nortbington and others also
spoke briefly.
Judge Turney was taken to his
room, where he was visited by scores
of enthusiastic friends. He chatted
pleasantly with them and expressed
himself as being in excellent health.
Indeed he is the very picture of
health and is Roman in every inch
of his frame. He will make the can
vass and will be elected. The people
love and admire him and cannot
help voting for him, provided they
see him and hear him speak.
Judge Turney and his party spent
the night at the Franklin House and
left this morning for Louise, where
they were followed by large crowd
of Clarksville people. Five special
coaches were provided for the occa-
sion by Superintendent Dunn.
