THE FIGHT OF THE ST aEoRaEA
Recognition Of the Uniform Rank the Issu
Between Two Factions.

Recognition Of the Uniform Rank the Issue
Between Two Factions.
DETRoIT. Oct 20-The fight in the Uni
form Ranks of the Order of st. George will
apparently never be settled short of the
courts, unless the supreme body of the
order decides in favor of the Robinson
Walker faction. If it does this, it will
officially decide that the Order of St
George, as an organization. has never
officially recognized its Uniform Rank and
il in no way connected with it beyond the
fact that the Uniform Rank is q recruiting
force of the order. The matter is not in
the hands of committee.
"we shall incorporate at once" said
Adjutant General Graves, of the Robinson
faction, ''and as soon as we are incorpor-
ated will bring proceedings in the courts
and fight for the possession of all official
documents and records now in Surles'
hands" The Surles people simply say
they have rested their case with the su-
preme body. The supreme officers depre.
cate the whole trouble, and say it shall be

STRIKERS HOLD A MEETING.

President Gompers Addresses the Men at
the Union Mills.
The strikers of the Twenty-ninth and
Thirty-third street mills held meeting in
Eintracht Hall, Lawrenceville, yesterday
morning. About 800 strikers were present
Vice Pr esident Sheehan, of the Amalga-
mated Association, presided. The men
were enthusiastic and apparently presented
an unbroken front.
President Samuel p. Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, was the
principal speaker. He supported the stand
the strikers had taken and urged them to
remain firm. He said they were not yet
defeated, assured them that the Federation
was in hearty accord with their cause and
promised further financial aid. He advised
them to do nothing that would injure their
cause. s''-
Vice President W. A. Carney, e1-vice
President w. T. Roberts. David Lynch and
others made speeches. Their remarks were
in the same strain, and all expressed the
opinion that they would surely win in
the end.

PLEASED WITH HIS VISIT.

President GOmpers Expresses His Opinion
of the Situation-The Amalgamated As
ISOLATION Still Want to Arbitrate-The
Boycott Being Considered With Its
Probable Effects.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, was seen immediately
after his return to this city from Home
stead. He was highly elated with his days
work and his visit here in the interests of
the strikers He expressed some surprise
at the enthusiasm and determination dis
played by the men at both meetings, but
particularly with that of the locked-out
men at Homestead. He said: "We missed
the train and had to reach Homestead by
the ferry from Glenwood. As We ap-
preached the town the banks of the river
were lined with people, and didn't know
what 1t meant. It was little less than an
the reception. What Impressed me
most since came here is the quiet yet de-
termined spirit displayed BY the men. I
am firmly impressed with the opinion that
the locked-out mon have done what was
right since this fight began. There is moth
ing of which they need be ashamed, and had
1 been one of them would have done the
same as the strikers. Ifeel that an honor
able, straightforward fight is being con-
Quoted on our side, and I would not be
afraid to leave everything we have done to
an impartial jury. The Amalga mated As
sociatlon is still willing to submit their diff
ferences to arbitration, and I believe this
the easiest way out Of the presest diff
Guilty"
'Do you think . boycott on the product
of the Carnegie mills will be declsred?"
II would not like to say, but that ques-
tion will be decided in few days If it
should be done many trades will be
affected, but the builders will suffer the
most as they use structural steel beams, and
that constitutes a leading feature of the
Carnegie mills But this can be considered
after a boycott is declared"
"Is the Amalgamated Association con-
templating any other move besides the boy
colt to force the company to an agree
ment?"
'T don't know"
President Gompers left for New York
last evening.

REPUBLICAN WISCONSIN,,
Senator sabin Says That She VIII Go for the
President

Senator D. M. Sabin, of Wisconsin,
passed through the city last evening on the
limited going west on his way to Chicago.
He is one of the invited guests to attend the
dedicatory services of the Worlds Fair.
Speaking on politics, be said he had been
in New York for the past few days and re-
peatedly visited Republican headquarters
What be had seen and heard during that
time, he says, would convince anyone of
the present feeling of the country. Private
reports arriving daily from the various
States confirmed the fact that Harrison's
popularity is growing daily.
The National Committee is doing some
fine work now he considered and he could not
see how any workingman could vote other
than the Republican ticket. Those who did
not vote that way would soon find out their
great mistake.
wisconsin" said Senator Sabin, 'tis
very much inclined toward the Peoples
party, but from various tests made in the
State, in the way of mass gatherings and
popular voting. it is clear that the State
will go Republican at the election"
The Senator expressed deep sympathy for
Mrs Harrison whom he very we'll knew.
On his return from Chicago he will 20
direct to Washington to see the President
on affairs of importance.

Reception to President Gompers.
A reception that amounted to little less
than an ovation was rendered President
Gompers, of the American Federation Of
Labor, on his arrival to address the locked
out men in the rink. The President made

pleased the men immensely. When he
compared his coming up the river to the 9th

spoke for more than an hour, and COM

"IPierre Loti," Octave Feuillet's Success
sor in the French Academy.

4
sor in the French Academy.
Louis Marie Julien Viaud is the au-
thor of the several books written by
'sPierre Lott" but as this young man,
who has recently been elected to seat
in the French academy, prefers to be
known by his pen name. the world will
probably speak Of him only as Pierre
Lott. He is conspicuous illustration
of the saying that ''nost great men are
vain" He is almost consumed with a
sense of his own Importance. His cleo
tion to the academy oyer the heads of
men admittedly muchf.better than him
self seems to have surprised no one
more than the fortunate man, and that
is saying great deal, for Lott has re-
Gently been discussed more even than
was his first book, "Aziyade," published
anonymously. which made him famous
in few weeks. Much of the talk con-
cerning Lott has been in the nature Of
criticism of the intense and all pervad-
ing egotisln Of his address delivered
upon the occasion of his entry to the
academy, when he used the pronoun
"Je" O no less than IT'S times; spoke Of
"my intellectual friend, Octave Feu1l-
let," whose successor he is, and then, NJ.
Zola being present, launched forth into
the most vehement denunciation of the
school of naturalists, of which the au-
thor of 'sNana" is the foremost expo
nent. There were also illusions, more
or less judicious, to Daudet and Flau-
bert.
The academy censors expunged the
Objectionable remarks, and the harm
would have thus been in measure un-
done had not Lott, with his refreshing
disregard Of conventionalities, thrown
academical precedent to the winds by
causing to be published the full text of
his address, as it was delivered, with
all the expurgations restored. It is
pleasing to learn that Lott and Zola
have, fguratively speaking, ''kissed and
made up"
Of Lofts life there is little Of interest
to be told. Born in Rochefort, Jan. IA,
1850, he received a moderately good
education in the local schools and en-
tered the naval academy at the age Of
seventeen. In course of time he be-
came an officer of the navy, and has WIS.,
tied almost every country in the world.
It was in 1879 that his first work,
the fascinating little idyl, "Aziyade,"
appeared. Since then he has written
dozen books, each being an improve
ment upon its predecessor. Lott was
married in 1886 to Mile. Jeanne de
Franc Ferriere, member of an old
Bordeaux family. His literary style is
exquisite, albeit somewhat artificial,
and it is predicted that, now his ambi-
ton has been gratifed, he will startle
the world with his next book.

Two yyx.ascal islands.

Marco polo's s.Travels" gives curl
GUS account of two islands, distant
from Kcsneacoran shout 5oO miles to
ward ths south, and about thirty miles
from each other, the ono being 1nhab-
tied by company Of men without a SIN
gle woman among them, the other by
women without the company OF men.
They are called. respectively, the Island
OF Males and the Island OF Females.
Geographers and others interested In the
curiosities Of history and navigation
have made many attempts to ascertain
the exact location of these enthusiastically
named little specks in the great ocean;
but even after SO much research and
study the European as well as the Amer
ican geographical societies have been
forced to admit that their whereabouts
is doubtful IN the extreme.
Some believe them to be Identical
with the Footnote islands, near Socota,
but these last named are now too small
for human habitation, besides being too
near the shores of the Red sea to cor
respond with those mentioned by Marco
Polo. The most probable conclusion
that has yet been arrived at is that Sc
rodah, small island ON the west coast
of India, is the celebrated "Island of Fe-
males" it being the resort of dancing
girls and women who retire to the place
for summers outing after a hard win
ter's work on the continent.
AS far as Marco Polo's "Island of
Males is concerned it is irretrievably
lost, the combined efforts of the geog-
raphers, the historians and the travellers
not being equal to the task Of bringing
it from the mysterious nists which have
hidden it for centuries Louis Re-
