"They show that there is an agree ment among judges, or at least tacit understanding to attack the labor, or ganizations of the country. In my opinion the decision of Judge Kicks was called forth by the reports set ahoat last year that a general strike during the Worlds Fair was contemplated by railroad men. Where the port ema- mated is more than I can say, but ara positive that such move was not con- templated by orgauized labor or any branch of it. 1 am rather inclined to the opinion that 1t came from the mana gers of the railroads for a purpose, and that purpose We now see in the almost simultaneous decisions of Judges Kicks, Taft and Billings. The plain purpose of the judges IS to prevent workingmen from quitting employment-in other words, to prevent strikes by law"

 WASHINGTON. April Tt develops thas the Russian treaty, about which so | much has been told and to which so much opposition has been manifested, was originally negotiated by Secretary | Bayard and the Russian minister at | Washington, and sent to the Senate by | President Cleveland himself seven years ago.
 It failed to satisfy majority of the Senators in its provision upon the very point on which it is so severely cIitl- clsed now; that is 1t did not sufficiently | protect refugees from Russia against | extradilion for political acts, so it was and remained throug bout during liar rison's administration.
