A STARTLING THEORY.
THE SINKING OF THE VICTORIA
DUE TO A CONSPIRACY.
Irish Revolutionists Claim the Honor of
Having Sent the British Battle
Ship to the Bottom of
the Sea.

NEW YORK, July 23.-A new and
startling theory is advanced as to the
cause of the sinking Of the British bat
tleship Victoria by the Cam
perdown. Irish revolutionists claim
the sinking was the result, not
OF accident. but a deep laid
plot, which has for its object the de-
struction, ii possible, of the British
navy and the infliction of dire injury on
England in every quarter of the globe.
A circular signed "The Executive"
copy of which a morning paper sue
ceeded in obtaining, and which
has been promugate in Irish
Nationalist circles, claims for the
revolutioniets the honor of striking q
heavy blow to England. Referring to
Admiral Tryon's maneuver, the circular,
which bears date July 10, says:
admiral Tryon is not guilty of the
loss of the Victoria. He is q victim of
the sins of his country. The maneu-
yer which he proposed the fleet
should perform would have been sue
cessfully carried out had our brave
brothers in England's service not been
equal to the opportunity and given
uhChhooiVCp Wiling 6hCIluCo lOI Lu6
cause Of Ireland.
"We have sworn brothers now on al.
most every English wsrship. We have
them in English regiments, at home and
abroad, and wherever the English flag
floats there also may our men be found.
We are now in position which
we never before attained Of striking
England in every corner of the globe.
Forward, brothers; the fight must 60 on
increasingly; no opportunity must be
lost of striking England, nor must we
hesitate to use against her whatever
science and inventive genius may place
in our hands,"

MOLINE MAY MOVE
To Secure the Glass Factory as it Did the
FIGURING Mill

To Secure the Glass Factory as it Did the
FIGURING Mill
Moline, which secured the Sears
johnson flour mill from Rock Island
through dilatory practices here, may
move to secure the glass factory
which Rock Island ought to take hold
Of as repeatedly urged by THE AR
GUS. The Republican-Journal learns
from the Union of this city that the
project looking to the reestablish-
ment of the plant here frozen out by
the United Glass syndicate has failed,
which Is not true. The local under
taking has not failed, though it is
aggravating the slow progress that is
being made. The Republican-Jour-
nal says: The loss of the glass works
is a serious blow to Rock Island and
the three cities. Over a hundred
skilled and well paid workmen were
employed directly and others indi-
rectly. and the removal of these men
and their families, which now APP
pears inevitable, means a reduction
of several hundred in the population
of Rock Island.
Urges Moline to Take Hold.
If it be true, as reported, that our
neighbor has given up the idea of
forming a new glass company, the
Republican-Journal would commend
the matter to the consideration of
Moline. Why couldn't our Swedish
American investors for instance, find
herein material for a profitable coop
erative industry? Moline has the adj
vantage of possessing in boundless
quantity as good stone for glass Sill
Gates rs there is in the United States.
The crushing works on Sylvan island
send out many carloads of this ingrs-
dent every month to the largest
glass concerns in the country. A
qualitive examination has shown this
limestone deposit to be the purest
for glass manufacture of any that has
been tested anywhere west of the AL
leghanyS. The possession of this
important natural resource ought to
be an argument in favor of our pos
sessing an industry to utilize the
same. 1t has been shown that there
Is an immense amount of window
glass consumed in the three cities by
sash factories. etc. and it will be too
bad if these concerns are to be COM
PEELED to send abroad for this commo-
dity when it can just as well be pro-
duced at home. A cooperative glass
factory in Moline, we believe, would
flourish, and we don't believe that it
would have anything to fear from the
United Glass company.
