do you claim asked Mr.. Wright,
that the railroads were responsible for
the strike because they insisted upon
hauling Pullman cars?"
No, sir. The American railway union
was responsible for 1t. but under aggra-
waiting circumstances. The general man
ayers are united To reduce wages. The
employees are united to resist such reduc-
ions. In case Of reduction that leads

What is your opinion as To the meth
DDS OF averting strikes2'' asked Commis-
sioner WorthingtOn.
Ny own idea. and il is the idea Of
the American railway union, is, unity all
the railroad men of the country. A
power like that prudently managed
would avert strikes. The railroad man
ayers would realize the wisdom Of treat

tory spirit.
DO you believe a strike is justifable
that interferes with public convenience -

degradation and enslaving conditions"
DO YOU believe I'm government owner

Yes. sir I believe the government
ownership Of railroads Is decidedly better
than railroad ownership of the govern

Mr. Dehs was followed by p. Fl. Nor
rissey, first ,ice-grand master of the
Brotherhood of railroad trainmen. The
feeling between the two orders. he said,
was not friendly. The railway union had
come into existence deridlng the older
organizations and it had naturally made
them feel bitter. The brotherhood be-
lieved in the extension of trade union
principles. but did not believe i'm such

UNFORESEEN EVILS,
Resulting From the Abandon
ment Of the Hooking Canal.

LANCASTER, o., July 23.-The
Board of Health of this city has mott
fed the State Board of Public Works
and the newly organized Columbus
Hooking Valley and Athens railway
to abate the nuisance of the empty
canal-bed through the corporate limits
by keeping it filled with water during
the heated term.
An unforeseen evil of the abandon
ment of the Hooking Canal, has ap
peared in the drying up of private
wells contiguous to the canal and the
dangerous depletion of the city supply
of water which is obtained from sup
posed springs lying closely parallel
and below the level Of the canal for {
distance of several hundred feet
For some weeks, or since the cutting
of the canal bank near Hooker, which
emptied the Lancaster level, the city
pumper has been unable to keep the
standpipe full for the required frt
pressure.
One of the damage suits resulting
from the abandonment of the cana
has just been filed by NJ. Vought, O
Hooker, who used the canal as drain
way for his land adjoining.

SILVER.

Gen. A. ]. Warner, President Of
The American Bi-metalic League,
has called a conference meeting ofthe
League at Washington City, August
16, "To take into consideration the
condition of the country and to de-
eide upon the policy to be pursued to
bring about the change in the none
tary policy of the government nee.
essary to restore prosperity to the peo
pie"
This powwow on the Silver question
is all right in its way, and so long as
nothing better than talk can be OBJ
tanned, will help to keep the subject
before the minds of the people.
What the country needs however
is little sound legislation on the sub
ject of coinage, and it will get it il
the near future. If the present mem
bers of congress don't heed the sign'
of the time they may as well pack W
preparatory to their retirement from
the public service for all time.

TARIFF LEGISLATION.

Tariff tinkering still continues in
congress. The history of the legis-
lation is briefly this. Early in the
session, Mr.. Wilson submitted a
bill to the House, which after long
discussion and variously amended,
passed that body. The
House Bill went to the senate for
consideration. The Senate made
radical changes, and passed the bill,
Differing materially from the House
Bill, committee of conference was
appointed. This committee, made
up of representative men of both
branches of congress and of both
parties, after earnest discussion and
deliberation failed to come to an
agreement, "agreed or disagree" as
the jury put it, and so reported.
In the meantime the president
submitted his views on the matter
in letter to Mr.. Wilson which was
read In the House, declaring him
self in favor of the substantial feat :
ures of the original bill, and pro
testing against the course of Ger tain
Democratic Senators. This declara
tion of the president, in opposition
to the position of the emocratic
leaders in the senate, produced aspro-
found sensation, and pnts everybody
at sea, as to the ultimate outcome.
The situation is about this, by
way of illustration. The jury has
failed to agree; the court has given
additional charges. The chances
are that before submitting TO dis
charge, q compromise will be affected
and legitimate bosiness procured in
the regular order.

A Marvellous Grape Vine.

Mr.. Rayman Belt has a grape
vine in his yard which is marvel
in its promising fruitage and a sight
worth coming a long way to see.
The vine is trained on an arbor
twenty feet in length and about ten
in width. The vine is trained up
the latticed sides and over the arch.
TIE clusters hang in almost solid
mass, punches large, shapely and
perfect in each particular grape.
TIE unusual size of the clusters in
such abundance is due to the fact
that all superfulous branches have
been kept prpned off and all the
strength of the vine conceetrated
in the fruit.
This vine which we hope our
readers will call and see, is an elo
quent sermon on the Fathers prov
ident gifts, and a lesson for all to
learn in the evidence of what care
and attention can procure.
Every farmer in the county,
every home in the country could
have such vine by devoting some
care and attention to its cultivation
With vines bearing such abundance
around our homes, Debs and his
kind might blow their horns to un-
needing ears, and the tariff tinkers
might hammer sway to nobody's
distress and annoyance but their
own.
But go and see the grape vine thou
grumbler and complainer of hard
times, and learn a lesson in what
Providence is doing for you if you
only do little yourself.

COREA NOT TO BLAME.
The japanese Minister Says
Troops Probably Fired
Without Orders.

WASHINGTON, July PA cable
gram giving the japanese Minister
the news Of the difficulty at Seoul,
which occurred yesterday, came to
hand to-day, and is as follows:
"Corean troops made uncalled for
attack upon the japanese troops
stationed in Seoul, and the troops re.
turned the volleys.'
The dispatch gave no particulars
regarding the cause of the trouble,
and nothing as to the number of per-
sons who may have been killed. The
Minister'S opinion, however, is that il
is the result of some indiscreet action
on the part of the Corean soldiers,
who are described at the Legation
as being undisciplined and hard to
restrain. The Minister feels sure the
firing was unauthorized by the Gov
ernment of Corea, and he says it is
very likely that it has made an apol
ogy expressing regret at the occur
renee.

NO APOLOGY BY GRESHAM.
Japan Continues to Remain on
Good Terms with This COun-
try.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-It can be
stated authoritatively that there is no
foundation for the published report
that Secretary Gresham had apologlzed
to NJ Tateno, the japanese Minister,
for utterances contained in telegram
sent by the Secretary Of State to the
japanese Government through Min
lister Dunn of Toxic.
That dispatch, as has been stated
heretofore, was sent after having been
submitted to Minister Tateno, and
contained nothing that was offensive
to the japanese Minister or that
would be considered as wounding to
japanese national natianal sensibilities.
There has been no occasion therefore
for apologies, and none has been ten
dered. The japanese Minister and
Secretary Gresham had an interview
Yesterday, at which Eastern affairs
were freely discussed, but the message
sent to Minister Dunn was not advert
ed to, and the interview, which was
entirely friendly and amicable, wa:
devoted to renewed expressions bJ
Secretary Gresham Of a hope tha
China, Japan and Korea would not b(
embroiled in war and to statement:
by NJ. Tateno in affirmation of th'
Justice and reasonableness of Japan:
course, and his hope that kore;
would acknowledge this and institute
reforms necessary for the protection
of Japan's large interests in Korea.
When Secretary Gresham's attentio!
was directed to the published repor
ne at once entered most sweeping
and vigorous denial Of its accuracy
declaring that he had made no apolog.
nor was any called for.
