Session of the Executive Board.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE executive
board of the American Railway union
met at the Revere house at 10 o'clock
this morning and held a prolonged scs-
sion. The refusal of the general a
ayers to consider the proposition
for a settlement Of the strike
and the action OF the FEEDER
alton of Labor, the brother
hoods and the building trades council
was discussed at length. Methods OF
carrying on the strike and of making
1t more effective were considered. The
board Is still in session at / o'clock,
having reached no definite conclusion
30 far as could be learned. The
executive council OF the Fedora
ton of Labor met at the Briggs
house and transacted routine business.
So far as the federation is concerned it
is out Of the strike for good. President
Gompers, when asked about the refusal
of the railway managers TO entertain
Mr.. Debs' proposition, said today: II
regret il very much. 1t was bad
for the railways and the men and bad
for the public interest. Ii will have no
effect, however, on the action Of the
federation in declining to order a gen.
eral strike"

A BREACH OF CONFIDENCE.
DIR. Robertson's Revelations Regarding
Debs Denounced.


Debs Denounced.
New YORK. July 1.-THE next issue
Of the American Druggist will contain
the following editorial In regard to the
publication by DIR. Il. S. Robertson of
the fact that Eugene Debs was treated
by him some time ago for alcoholism:
THE relations which exist ID ZEN
patient and physician are scarcel@ss
sacred than those between the penitent
and the priest; In both the fullest con-
fdence must be observed and this the
law realizes in declaring conf
dence received In the capacity of
a physician or n priest rs legally
inviolable. SO well liked Is the princi.
pie both In practice and in law hat
the public was distinctly shocked when
II learned that DIR. 4. s. Robertson of
this city, who had at one time attended
the labor leader Eugene Debs profess
sionally, had given 1t out publicly that
Mr.. Debs had been a sufferer from dip
somania.
mo better indication of the view
which his professional brethren will
take of the matter Is to be had than
the following opinion expressed by DIR.
w. 4. Jenkins, state quarantine officer
for the port of New York. in an inter
view with n representative OF the
American Druggist, in which DR.. Jen-
kins says:
"'If DIR. Robertson has been rightly
quoted, he has been guilty Of n gross
and objectionable breach OF profess
sional confidence in giving out to the
public n statement in regard to Mr..
Debs' physical ailments based On knows
ledge gained In the course OF profess
sional treatment Even on the wit
ness stand the relations Of the physi-,
clan and the patient are treated with
the same sanctity as those OF the peni-
ten and priest, and in this instance, IT,
DR.. Robertson did really give out the
information attributed to him, he has
forfeited the respect of the entire med
ical profession"

be impossible for anyone carrying
a large weapon, such as n rife or shot
gun. to pass undctected through the
lines. Then q detail Of men was sent
inside to examine the rooms. Weapons
and ammunition were found
in nearly every room. Al
together thirty-seveu rifles were
taken. Besides these there were shot
guns. sabres, over q thousand rounds OF
cartridges, mostly for use In pistols,
and a number Of revolvers.

ernment agent sent to allot kickapoo

three months ago, being most impa-
tient over the delay. Secretary Smith
sem a special inquiry 10 his agent,
urging him To hasten the matter as

nize the treaty or the agents authority
under II. The secretary instructed

dams thirty days in which to choose
their allotments, and at the end of
that time 70 make them, whether or no,
and TO settle up the whole business.
This has been nearly three moaths
ago. Complaints again began TO come
to the Indian Office, and inquiries were
sen to the alloting agent to know tho

Master Workman Sovereign of the X.

labor leaders today he was asked what
his order had decided to do in view
Of existing conditions. He replied:
at was decided that we should
do all in Il power TO help the

ordered out who were SO far removed
from the scene of battle hat their
coming out would serve no purpose.
The Knights of Labor will support the
American Railway union strike in
every possible way and will do so
with the same earnestncss and devo-

There is a dcarth Of good poetry In
these times, according to the poetical
editor Of n New York magazine. He
says that the demand for it has for a
good while been greater than the sup
ply, and he believes that the producers
of IL have been discouraged by the
newspapers. For years past a number
of papers have often taken occasion TO
sneer at a great deal Of the poetry
thrown on the market, and the younger
poets especially have felt d~isheartened
Mt the sighting remarks OF writer's who
were unable to appreciate their verse.
1t Is evident that these poets are deter-
mined to withhold their products from
the public until such time as they can
have a reasonable assurance of better
treatment. The older poets are hard.
ened against abuse, but they cannot
turn out poetry every day.

JOSEPH KUBLER, PUBLISHER

There Is a strong feeling Of pity
among birds, md sometimes they are
as charitable as men. A pair of robins
had their nest in a fence near n house,
while a pair of catbirds had built theirs
in a bush close by. The two pairs
Matched out their young at the same
time, and for a while everything went
along smoothly. Then 1t was noticed
that the robins disappeared entirely
and the conclusion was that they had
been killed. The young robins, de
pendent on their parents for food, ap
peared TO be starving and when the
catbirds came with a worm or bit OF
food for their young the robins would
thrust up their heads and make q grea'
noise. Presently 1t was observed thai
the catbirds were feeding the hungry
orphans, aua every night, while one o,
the catbirc, covered it's own You're, it,
mate performed the same SCI vice for
the little robins. In this way both
broods were reared, the robins growing
up as strong and lively as though they
had been cared for by their own par
enta.
