A MESSAGE
From the President on the Subject OF
Canadian Canal Determinations.

From the President on the Subject OF
Canadian Canal Determinations.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-President Har-
rison sent this message to the senate
yesterday:
For the information of the senate, and in fur
February "a last transmit herewith COM
munication of the gath instant from Mr.. Her
BERT the acting representative of the British
government at this capital, addressed to Mr..
Wharton, acting secretary of state, upon
the subject OF the Canadian canal
tolls; also memoranda prepared
and submitted to me by Mr.. Adie, Sec
ond assistant secretary of state, reviewing the
communication of Mr.. Herbert and letter of
the 28th instant, from Mr.. John W. Foster,
who, as I have previously stated, with Mr..
Blaine represented this government in the
conference with the Canadian commissioners.
The position taken by this government, as ex-
pressed in my former message, that the tolls
and regulations of which complaint has been
made, are in violation of treaty
with Great ritain, is not shaken but rather
confirmed. There can be doubt that a
serious discrimination against our citizens and
our commerce exists. aud quite as little doubt
that this discrimination is not an incident, but
the purpose of the Canadian regulations. 1t
has not seemed to me that this was case In
which we could yield to the suggestion of
further concession on the part of the United
States with a view to securing treaty rights for
which consideration has already been given.

not recognize the Amafgamated associ-
alton of iron and steel workers In our
dealings with the men. The mill will
be an open mill where all men may
work, regardless of their affiliation to
labor organization.
The above is part of a statement
made this afternoon by the secretary
of the Carnegie Steel Co., limited, the
new s25, ,OOO,0 organization. 1T is
our purpose" continued Mr.. BeHeteEs-
''to run that mill. 1t will be an open

regulating employees wages, but there
will be no question as to whether he
belongs to a labor organization. We
shall do at Homestead as we do at
Braddock-deal with the men individu-
ally and no distinction will be made"
The above plain statement leaves no
doubt as to the company's intention
with regard to the fight at Homestead,
and narrows the fight down to a life
and death struggle with the Amalga-
mated association, to-day the leading
labor organization in the world. Mr..
Lovejoy also outlined the policy which
will be pursued by the company in the
present struggle. 1--WE will do nothing
for the next week or so. The time will be
fully occupied in repairs. AS matter
of fact, only 26O men are directly inter-
ested in this fight. The wages of that
number only are in question. Mr.. Frick
is directing the policy of the company
in this mater, Mr.. Carnegie knowing
only in a general way what is going on
at Homestead. About July 20 notices
will be served that the old employees
may return to work by making appli-
cation at a certain date. New men will
be put to work in the places of those
who do not thus apply. We can easily
get new men into the company. 8

LOUISVILLE, KY, July AT West
Baden, Thursday night, Conrad Schultz
was accused of killing his wife. A
crowd of men quickly seized the al
legged culprit and fastening rope
around his neck swung him up to a
tree near by. At this jdncture man
from Orleans, Ind, appeared and
claimed there was a mistake about it as
he had seen Mrs. Schultz in his town a
day or two before. He demanded that
the accused be released. He was cut
down, but locked up until the matter
could be investigated.

Glacler. in the caueasu..

We learn from the Tiflis paper Cau-
casus, that during an excursion to the
sources of the Jiagdon, which was made
recently by several explorers. no fewer
than eight glaciers were discovered,
six of which were not marked on the
five-versts- to-the-inch map of Caucasus.
They have been viewed. now and
sketched from Strykhokh Pass The
southern slope of the branch ridge of
the main chain. between Kazbek and
the Syrkhubarzon. peak, has also been
sketched from the Trussoff's Pass, and
it appears that several. OF the glaciers
of this part Of the chain are not repre-
serfted on the great map, while PERFECT
nal snow Is shown where there is none.
The glaciers visited by the party proved
to have very much changed their as
pect since 1889. Several sulphur and
iron carbonate springs were visited in
the Trussoff's valley, and several. in
teresting Alpine flowers in bloom were
collected on the passes. Mature.

A DOG WITH A HEART.

How He Mourned when His Pct Cat was
Laid to Rest.
Here is pathetic little story, Illus
trative of the affection that may be
cultivated between dog and a cat, and
being true story makes it all the more
worthy of telling. A family in this
town had dog about fourteen years
old and and q cat about nine, both OF
which they had raised Between these
animals the most marked affection
sprang up, and they were inseparable
friends. They ate together, slept to-
gether and played together, and If BY
chance they became separated they
each showed in the most marked man
ncr their discomfort and unhappiness-
II the cat got out Of the house the dog
whined most persistent.y and dolefully
until she came. back, and if the dog
happened to be absent the cat acted in
similar manner. A short time ago

able signs of distress. He pushed her
body around with his nose, apparently
trying to wake-her, all the while whip-

A little boy in the family whose con-
slant companions the animals had been.
decided to bury his dead friend, and,
securing box, put the body in it, and,
after mailing on the lid, carried it into
the garden, dug hole, and after plac-
ing it therein covered it, as he sup
posed, securely. Inthe meantime the
dog -moped- about the house, refusing
either to eat or drink, and looked SO
distressed that it was painful to see
him. One day the boy noticed that the
dogs nose and head we're covered with
mud, and the thought at once struck
him that he had found his friends
grave and had tried to resurrect the
body. He went into the garden and
found that his suspicious were correct
The dog had actually dug down and
uncovered the box, but as the lid was
securely nailed on, he could not bring
the body to the surface. The dog fol-
lowed the boy to the grave and whined
and howled piteously while the boy
made arrangements to renter the cat.
After good many days the dog gradu-
ally came back to his appetite, and,
although still more or less doleful, has
apparently regained his normal condi-
ton. This is homely. little story, but

sort of manner. IL one chooses to take
the trouble; but the Van Tweedles
somehow felt themselves older than
other foil s; and as there were now
only two of that particular branch
alive 1t seemed likely that they would
soon also have that other much adj
mired quality of being very rare.
The Van Tweedles, in fact, thought
80 highly of their family that they
could think of no other fit to mix with
it, and remained single at an age when
most people find themselves married.
They were very like each other-high-
nosed, thin, with prominent white
teeth and scanty, reddish hair. They
appeared to remain thin because they
thought IT far more genteel to do SO
than to become fat, and while Mr.. Van
Tweedle thought it proper to have
constant interviews with his lawyer,
Miss Van Tweedle believed it proper to
say that she knew nothing about bust
ness whatever. However, her great
boast was that she had never had an
offer. Most spinsters are constantly
declaring that they have had hundred
offers, but Miss Van Tweedlc's pride
was all the other way.
mo man has ever dared to approach
me with any such suggestion" she
would cry. my conduct has ever been
too particular ;,
Mrs. Bly,, the family housekeeper,
had a habit of Struggling her shoulders
when Miss Van Tweedle made this re-
mark; but the housekeeper was a widow,
and could not be supposed to under
stand a spinster's feelings. She was a
little, plump, black-haired woman,
with high color, who naturally took
to reds and yellows. She had seen bet
ter days, and was no common house,
keeper, in her own opinion. At least,
she used to think to herself she was
much handsomer than the arstocratic
Miss Van Tweedle.
IF that everlasting old maid was
only out of the way" she used to
think, 81 could marry Mr.. Van Tweedle
tomorrow. He admires me.
And here she was not wrong. But
for the old family and the bondage of
aristocracy, Mr.. Van Tweedle might
indeed have become her sutton. How
ever, though King Cophetua came
down from his throne to marry the
beggar maid, 1T never occurred to the
solitary male representative of the Van
Tweedles that he could descend from
the parlors of his mansion to the house

Tweedle was not considered beautiful
generally. but there was one who
