HIS DEFEAT.
Reported Interview with President Har.
rison Regarding tho Causes Which
Brought About the Result at the Polls.

Reported Interview with President Har-
rison Regarding tho Causes Which
Brought About the Result at the Polls.
New YORK, Nov. 12.-President Har-
rison talked freely Friday about the
recent defeat of his party and the
causes which brought it about,
says dispatch from Washing
ton to the Herald. Friday after
noon he discussed not only the recent
election, but the gravity of the sit
uation which now confronts the repub-
lican party. The overwhelming defeat
of the republican party, the president
said, was due mainly to the position of
the party on the tariff question. The
republicans had forced this issue to an
extreme which did not meet with the
approval of the people.
There was another important ele-
ment, the president said, which had
much to do with the defeat of the re-
publicans last Tuesday and its force
was felt at the north as we'll as at the
south. There was popular belief that
the force bill issue kept the solid south
within the old lines, but in the presi-
dents estimation it did more than that,
for it brought to the support of the
democratic ticket many votes in the
north.
The verdict of last Tuesday, the
president con ntinued, could be con-
strued in but one way. 1t meant q
condemnation of the extreme high
tariff policy of the republicans. The
inevitable result, if the party was to
hope for renewal of power, was a
modification of this position, but not a
remuneration altogether of the protec-
tive-tarifr policy, which had been the
keynote of every republican campaign
for many years past. u
President Harrison has very decided
views as to the conduct of the cam.
paign. He does not think very much
of Chairman Carter, of the republican
national committee. He consented tc
Carter's appointment only when it be
came evident that no more acceptable
man could be secured. He said the
campaign had been mismanaged anc
that much better results would hav.
been secured but for the RAINBOW
chasing" schemes to which Mr.. Carter
gave countenance and assistance.

lack of good generalship. What hi
wanted to do, he said, and what he en-
deavorcd to impress upon them, wa
the absolute necessity of keeping tn,

The president said that he had real
lied for some time past that the drift
of public sentiment was against hin
and his party and it was this that lie,
him to force this advice upon the part.

had much to do with the re

returns came in Tuesday that he was

election was the well-known dissaffet

waves.
Filippo displayed his skill by serving
us up a splendid four course dinner, to
which we did full justice after our
twenty-five miles in the saddle. The
khan where we stopped was nearly an
nished but no meals. The building was
arranged about a court. Each group of
travellers brought out their provisions
and had their respective tables The
camels and horses and donleys were
stabbed in the court below where they
grumbled and brayed all the night long.
We arose the next morning to realize
that we were actually in the ancient
Phoeuician city-Sidon, the mother Of
Carthage, the mother of Tyre, the city
whose wiclsedness is denounced byIsaiah
and Ezekiel; the home of Jezebel, who
was daughter of the king of the lid
onians. We read over the wonderful
chapters in the Old Testament as well
as the New Testament passages con-
cerning the visit of Jesus to the coasts
of Tyre and Sidon. The city is built of
stone, with low, narrow arched streets,
about which it is impossible to find ones
way at night without a lantern. The
! population is intensely moslem, though
the Christian missionaries have for
years held here prosperous mission
which we visited.
The old city is we'll worth study. The
Phoenician cemetery, just outside, has
within the past few years given forth
some rare treasures. In nConstantinople
there are seventeen or eighteen splen-
did sarcophagi taken from these
old tombs. One of these splendid sar-
cophagi was supposed to be the tomb OF
Alexander the Great, but while this is
not proven the great coffin itself, which
I saw in the museum at Constantinople,
is, in my Judgment, one of the finest
pieces of sculpture preserved to us from
that period. More pleasant than crawl
ing on hands and knees among these
old Ph0cnician tombs was it to ride
among the glorious orange groves OF
Sidon, to behold the luscious fruits and
to breathe the air fragrant with per.
fume.
For six weeks our sturdy horses bore
us over hill and plain, visiting Syria''
monuments and holy places. But ther,
was peculiar beauty and freshness

The ordinary route Of the Palestine
tourist is to start in at Jappa, then pro-

Dead Sea to move up northward. We
proposed, however, to take in the entire
coast line, visiting the great Phoenician
cities of Sidon and Tyre and then con-
tinuing southward to the great Philis-
tian cities of the southwestern plain.
Thus our first days journey was from
Beirut to Sidon, distance of about
twenty-five miles.
The coast journey is one Of rare In

day was exceedingly rough, over rocks
where the way had to bc carefully

near the sea that the incoming waves

we reached the village of Muallaka, sit

SETTLED,
The strike ut New Orleans Declared or
Terms of the Settlement.


Terms of the Settlement.
New ORLEANS. Nov. 12.-The strike
was declared off Friday. The ANAL
gamated council virtually surrendered.
They abandoned the demand for recog-
milton of the union and agree to arbi-
trate the questions of time and wages
and to allow the merchants to
retain the men employed. They
ask, however, that union men be
not Disseminated against in the future.
After some haggling the merchants
agreed to this. The parties to this
agreement declare that they will use
their best endeavors to adjust any
differences which may result or may
have resulted from any strike made in
sympathy with the strike hereinabove
referred tc, in accordance with the
above terms. The arbitration clause
is to be effected within the next forty
eight hours.
There is intense Indignation among
large number of the workingmen over
the manner in which the strike was
settled, and the committee of five rep
resenting the interests of the laborers
is openly denounced and charged with
treachery and having sold out
the labor element. t
The street car companies have about
broken up the car drivers union and
the contract that was broken will un.
doubtedly remain SO. The companies
will employ new union and non-union
| men indiscriminately. All the ring
leaders on the street car lines have
been discharged and the unions are so
badly disorganized that they cannot do
anything about the matter.
Business is gradually being resumed.
None of the non-union men are being
discharged. The colossal failure of the
strike means that the backbone of the
unions is broken and that the American
Federation of Labor is out of business
