WANT A FREE RIVER.
Pittsburg Delegates to National Board
of Steam Navigation
WILL PUSH TIE SHIP CANAL.
They Will Also Recommend the Purchus
Of Locks and Dams
PROPOSED PETITION TO CONGRESS-

The twenty-frst annual meeting of the
National Board Of Steam Navigation will
be held in New York on Wednesday and
Thursday Of next week. The meeting wilt
attract all the prominent river and steam
boat men in the United States, and it
is contemplated that important action will
be taken regarding the improving of the
Ohio river between Pittsburg and Ohio.
Among the Pittsburg steamboat men who
will attend will be w. W. O'Niell, Addison
Lysle, who Is now Treasurer of the board,
W. j. Wood, John Moran, Harry McDon-
aid, Harry Brown and James A. Hender-
son.
The Pittsburg delegation will advocate
the purchase by the Government of the
Monongahela Company's locks and dams
This subject has been considerably agitated
in the organization within the past year,
and it is highly probable that the entire
board will unite in petition asking Con-
gress to purchase the locks and dams.
The proposed canal from Lake Erie to
the Ohio river will also be considered, and
the Pittsburg delegates are confident that
the board will unite in recommending the
canals construction. The construction of
two new dams on the Ohio river between
Pittsburg and Cincinnati will also be rec
commended.
James A Henderson who returned yester-
day from an extended Western tour with
his family is spoken of as President of the
National Board. Mr.. Henderson said yes
terday that he was not candidate for any
Office on the board, but he was anxious to
have the Ohio river improvement recon-
mended. He believed that if the board
would unite in their petition to Congress the
Erie Canal scheme would be assisted very

LONDON, Sept 10.-The strike at Car
moux 10 something unique among modern
labor troubles, and 1t has suddenly sprung
into an affair Of national interest and i'm
portance to France. Great strikes in Amer

but never one had 20 absurd an origin as
this
Carmaux is the headquarters of the Tsrn
Mining Company, which employs 1000
men. The majority of the municipal coun-
Gil holds Socialistio views, and they have
this year elected Socialistic Mayor, NJ
Calvignac, who Is, or was, an employe of
the mining company. Since his election
his employers have granted him long
leaves of absence to visit Socialist conven-
Finally, M, CalYignac aspired to the ad-
ditional political post of District Coun-
cillor, and he absented himself from his
work for q long time to attend to his can
vass He condescended to explain his ab-
sence. He had been i'll of bronchitis The
disease had been of an intermittent charac-
ter, which enabled him to deliver Socialistic
speeches to his constituents ct certain hours
daily.
Real Cause Of the Carmoux Strike.
When he proposed to return to his post
with the mining company his employers
called his attention to the fact that he had
past three months, and they mildly sug-
gested that he should give assurance Of
regular service in future. This M. LIE
Marie Indignantly refused to do, and
weeks notice of dismissal was given him.
France to-day is ringing with the griev-
ance OF Monsieur Cslvignac His fellow
workmen struck, looted the company's
premises, and forced the offending man
ager to sign o paper resigning his post.
This was more than two weeks ago, and
ever since the strikers have been receiving
the thanks of their fellows throughout
France.
The strikers have been and still are mas
ters of the situation In Carmoux. Their
well-organized patrols prevent non-union
men from taking their places.
Cowardice of the Government.
The Government is very prompt and very
severe in dealing with enemies of public
order when they are unpopular, but there
has been a shameful cowardice in the treat
ment OF this manifestation of anarchy. The
prefect of the district has visited Carmoux
and notified NJ. lie Marie that the Govern
ment would be compelled to arrest him and
his confederates if they did not draw the
unlawful patrols Loud defiance has been
the answer to the threats
The Paris labor exchange voted its SYM
pathy and support on the side of the
strikers, and the Carmoux mob responded
yesterday wit resolution declaring that if
the government of the Republic, misunder-
standing as 1t does its primary duties meana
to use torce against them, they will defend
themselves with force.
This embarrassing situation still exists,
and the opponents Of the Government are
making all they can of the incident 70

LONDON, Sept 10-John Morley went
to Dnblin this week aud undertook his
task of introducing new way to rule
Ireland. This means that the reign of
coercion in the Green Isle is ended. Coer-
cion laws, of course, still hang over the
Irish people, and Mr.. Morley cannot repead
them, but he can and will refuse to enforce
them. His task is delicate and difficult.
Home rule has not come yet 1t will not
come tomorrow or next day. Its coming
will be contested and delayed at every pos
sible point In the meantime the Irish
people will be slandersd and villi6ed as
they never we're maligned before and by
toes both within and without
With a large proportion of his people
evicted from their homes and destitute, and
with no adequate legal measures at his
command for dealing with the situation,
Mr.. Morley has upon his hands most try
ing problem. Fortunately with relief in
sight, he can rely upon the patience and
forbesrance of the long-suffering Celt The
attempts to provoke a revolt against the
Gladstonian Government will not succeed.
The manifesto of Redmond's National
League and Parnellite party this week fell
fiat. 1t has provoked scarcely word of
comment, either way. Mr.. Morley will at
once fortIfy himself with facts about the
destitution in the eviction districts, and
public opinion will unquestionably uphold
his hands in any plan for dealing with the
situation which his judgment shall dictate.
By the death of Mr.. Winterbotham, a
member of the Circencester division of
Gloucestershire, the Tories have q capital
chance of winning the first of the bye cleo

new Parliament The Liberal ma
jority at the general election was
only 153 on a poll of over 10000
and the Tories at the time declared Win
terbotham's retention of the seat was due
mainly to his personal popularity and
great cloal influence. The contest will be
watched with great interest and some anx-
iety, for MI Gladstone with a majority of
only forty, cannot afford to begin losing
seats before the great battle has commenced
