In England no weaver is permitted
to tend more than four. looms in a
cotton mill, and not more than six
with a helper; whereas in this coun-
try one person may, without a helper,
tend six, eight or twelve looms. The
American has the privilege of doing
twice as much work as the operative
across the water, but he does not re-
ceive twice the pay. AS a matter of
fact, it is claimed, by experts who
have investigated the matter, that the
interests of the factory operatives are
better guarded by law in England
than in this country, and from the
benevolent point of view, the United
States are far behind England in the
relations of the State to labor. Opera
yes here earn more, simply because
they work longer hours per week,
and because they do more while they
are at work.

Interest in the matters of congress
abated somewhat during the excite
ment occasioned by the strike and the
riots in Chicago and elsewhere, but
the people are anxious to have the
tariff bill, whatever it shall be, passed
and out of the way. Congress will theu
adjourn and can do no more harm un
til next winter.

the coast of Scotland last week,
would discourage good many yachts

found before this, is not put off by
things that would dishearten even an

While some are criticlsing the
course of President Cleveland in
sending Federal troops to Chicago
and in issuing proclamations and or
ders against riotous proceedings, we
fail to see why he has not done his pa
triotic duty. The very fact that the
President stands firmly. and, boldly. for
law, order and justice in the matter
will deter many from entering into
proceedings that are riotous, and will
awe many who otherwise might be in
the camp OF the lawless. Mr.. Cleve-
land has very large foot and puts it
down with a good deal Of vigor.

TRAGEDY OF TBE BALTIC
Dreadful HardShipS Endured by Wrecked
Fishermen.
CAST ASHORE ON A BARREN ISLAND
Seventeen Of the Men Swept to a Watsry
Grave, While Many Of the Rescued
Will Die Of Their Injuries.

LONDON, Sept. PA dispatch from
Helsingfor, capital of Finland, tells the
story Of dreadful sufSerings experienced
e few days ago by men employed in the
Baltic fisheries. The fishing fleets were
all at sea when terrific gale sprang up,
forcing the boats to run for shelter.
Some Of them reached harbors OF refuge
and there rode out the storm. Eight of
them, however, lost their bearings and
ran on the Noerpes islands, where the
tremendous seas soon pounded them to
pieces. The ielands are principally DESC
late rocks whore frowning, jagged fronts
menace the destruction OF anything that
is caught ashore upon them As the seas
swept over the wrecked fishing boats be-
fore the latter broke no they carried away
fifteen fishermen, whose bodies, con-
cealed by the raging waters and the
spume OF the sea, were never afterwards
seen.
Those left on the boats knew that their
vessels were doomed and made what few
preparations we're possible to get ashore.
| There seemed to be only one chance in a
hundred of their reaching place Of
safety, but this charge they took and
landed on one OF the islets, almost COM
pletely exhausted.
For three days the storm ragged with
undated fury, and the men, who were
without food, were exposed to its full
force. At the end of the three days 9
passing vessel was sighted, and, in re-
Spouse to the tishermen's signals, ran in
under the lee OF the islet and sent boats
to take of the shipwrecked men. In The
meantime two Of the fishermen had sue
cumbed to their terrible experiences, and
their bodies were left on the island. The
rescued were in pitiable condition
Several Of them were unconscious when
found, and it is feared that some OF them
will die.

A CLOSE CONTEST.
Colonel Lawlsr OF Illinois hlected Com
mander- in Chief.


PITrsBURa. Sept. 10 Colonel Thomas
q. LAWYER, Of Rockford, Ills, was elected
commander in-chief of the Grand Army
Of the Republic by majority OF | over
Colonel l. N. Walker, Of Indianapolis.
1t WAS the closest contest for the Office in
the history OF the order. Mayor A. p
Burch6eld, of this city, was elected
senior vice commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic, and Charles H.
Shupe, of New Orleans, junior com-
mander.
The Grand Army encampment for
1895 will meet at Louisville. Henri Wat
terson, in presenting the invitation, said !:
81 have come with message from your
countrymen who dwell on what was
once the other side of the line, but whose
hearts beat in ready response to your
hearts and who bade me tell you that
they want to see you. Candor compels
me to say that there was a time when
they did not want to see You. There was
time when, without any invitation
whatever, either written or verbal, with
out as much as an intimation of hospi-
tality, you insisted upon giving us the
honor of your company, and, as it turned
out, when we were but ill prepared to re-
ceive you. 1t would be pity, now that
we are prepared, now that the lid is of
the pot, that the latch string hangs out
side the door, you should refuse us the
happiness of entertaining you, not with
bloody hands to hospital graves, but at
friends and brothers-fellow citizens who
learned to value one another amidst
scenes that left no time for eouivocatior
and transactions applying to human vir
tues the very highest test"

A PEhILOUs VOYAGE.
Exciting Experiences of Kirby Barnum
in tho Minnesota Forest Fires.


MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 14-Kirby Bar
mum, who owns farm near the Western
border OF the Great Red Lake Indian
reservation in the northern part of the
state, has just returned from perious
trip down the Thief river, which skirts
that reservation on the west. The trip was
made in small passenger steamer that
plies between the Indian Agency and
Red River Falls, distance Of 100 miles.
Fully half the trip was made between
walls Of fire. Bsrnum says the flames
jumped Thief river and cut srath
through dense forest fully sixty miles
wide. The whole country is ahame The
steamer was forced to go three and four
miles at time and then everybody
would get off and stand in the water un
til the fire and heat had abated some
what. Several times the boat was afire.
The water in the river bad been raised to
such temperature by the fire that its
surface " as covered with millions OF dead
fish. Bear, deer, and other large game
were fleeing from the flames in great con-
fusion. Many small, canoe parties of
Indians were encountered making their
way down stream the best they could.
There has probably been loss of lite
among them.
Barnum says the fire originated in a
blaze set by man who tried to get con
troll OF some hay land from the govern
ment, but failed, and hired two men to
fire it. The flames soon spread to the
forest and have been burning ever since

creased. Every days delay Of promised
victory over the Japanese adds to the
danger of his downfall Reinforcements
from the more remote provisions en-

Almost a reign Of terror prevails even at

chants are fleeing from Tien Tsin to save
their lives. The French minister has
formally protested against the action Of
the Chinese in boarding the French mail

Gigantic Water Power Plan Evolved BY
Western Engineers.
WORK OF SURVEYING NOW UNDER WAY
4 Scheme Launched by The Minnesota Canal
Company to Utilize the Vast River
Systems In the Duluth Country.

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. lathe annual
meeting OF the Minnesota Canal Com
pauy Of this city WAS held here today,
and a number of Chicago, Minneapolis
and st. Paul capitalists interested in the
company are here.
The company has an office in Chicago
and most Of it's stock 10 held there, the
balance being in st. Paul, Minneapolis
and this city. The company proposes to
furnish the most etupendous manufac-
turing power in the world-so great that
the water power used at Niagara is min
iature In comparison. The Niagara pow
er to be made available by the constrnc-
ton Of the canal now built is l00,0 900
horse power, and the addition of any
more power can only be had by the
building Of additional canals. The canal
now constructed has cost s. 600 900
The Minnesota Canal Company's project
contemplates the utilization OF power
amounting, at the first construction Of
the works, to lao, 900 horse power, and
with the canal enlarged to width Of 40
feet ON the bottom. I20 feet at the top,
and 20 feet deep, the power capable OF
delivery, will be, il is claimed, more
than 800 900 horses.
This vast work, the like OF which has
to have an enormous influence on the
industrial future OF the North west, il &C.
tually under way and has been for more
than year It has been done quietly
and the work Of the company has been
little known except as it has come out In
legal proceedings for the condemnation Of
lands or congressional action. Up to
date the company has completed an
enormous amount OF engineering and
detail work. 1t has made complete sur
veys for a canal from the st. Louis river,
at a point thirty-four miles away, to the
top Of the hill on which Duluth rests,
and has bought several miles frontage
along the river at what is said to be the
only point where the flowage Can be di-
verified. 1t has also begun condemnation
proceedings on eleven miles OF the dis
lance of the canal from this point, and
will soon purchase the lands wanted on
this distance. East from Duluth the en-.
gineers have surveyed the route for the
canal, which 10 expected to tsp the
streams flowing into Lake Superior on
the north shore, as we'll as the st. Louis
Oh the west, and they have completed
their work for q distance of sixtys six
miles.
This line OF the canal is expected tc
tap the streams that flow down the slope
of the lake, all of them for distance Of
forty miles from Duluth having a min
imum flow OF 10000 horse power. Lands
on the entire distance are now being
condemned. Careful measurements oil
all the streams, both east and west, have
been made and the minimum flow ascer-
tanned. Financing the scheme has been
carried 30 far that it is reliably stated
that all the money needed can be had OIL
demand. 1t appears, then, that this tire.
mendous work is we'll started.

NEW YORK POPULIsrs.
The Platform Will Declare for single Tax
Among other Things.


SARATOGA, Sept. 1I.-Over three hum
dred delegates have been chosen to at =.
tend the populist state convention here
today. Alden Spencer, of the peoples
party, says that the executive COMMITTEES
of the New York organization has pre-
pared the following plank as New York's
contribution to the platform which will
be apopted by the convention:
"We believe in absolute democracy
which, under the initiative and referen.
dun. will place the law-making power in
the hands OF the people, and thereby
bring to their vote every needed right
and reform respecting industries, circu-
lating medium, taxation, woman suffrage.
proportional representation, blanket bal
lot, excise laws, and other measures.
The real ownership Of land is now, ss
IT ever has been, in reality vested in the
state and Indirectly in the counties and
Municipalities. If any man doubts this
proposition, refusal to pay his rental
taxes will convince him Of its truth. The
governing powers should, in equity. lew
upon all lands held away from the hand
Of labor for speculative increment. and.
irrespective of improvements on land
tax it into use."

Dispatches from Fusan bring additional
confirmation of the report that the whole

to return to the former place with 1900

A disastrous FIRE occurred at Chung
