sovereign on the Cry for Bread.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 22-General Master
Workman Sovereign, of the Knights of
Labor, addressed large meeting of work
ingmen last night. in the course of which
he said:
.an America today there are 3, 000, 600 men
willing to work who are idle for want of
work to do, molding themselves, or rather
being nodded, into felons and beggars.
Charity has been strained as 1t was never
strained before but still the cry for bread
from starving threats Is heard all over the
land These men are being turned into
tramps. The tramp has been described as
a cross between poverty and crime. but l
think that the dude. a product of our
civilization, can justly be described as a
cross between NOBODY and nothing. Both
are the results, the outcome, monopoly
the monopoly that. unless il is throttled,
will cause the death of the republic"

OLYMPIA, Aug. 22-[Special lit is pos
sible now that the capitol commissioners
feel reasonably assured of the cost of the
proposed state building, that no further
expert service will be required to estab-
lish that fact. Architect Fiagg has been
requested to send his representative TO
Olympia. He will doubtless arrive soon.
When the ground plans arrive bids for this
work will be called in order that the work
on the foundation may be commenced on
the completion of the grading.
Parties claiming prior right to pur-
chase tide lands must now move, as Land
Commissioner Forrest, in order to avoid
unnecessary delay and complications, Is
notifying persons claiming such right TO
come forward within thirty days from the
date of notice and file an application. The
law fixes no time. but the commissioner
regards the omission to mean q reason
able time. which he proposes TO allow to
intending purchasers
Secretary Price, for the information of
many inquirers, announces that his book
on the resources of the state wall be fur
nished free to those desiring them. How
ever, inasmuch as the state has borne the
expense of the work the secretary con-
siders that cities. counties or corporations
desiring the work in quantities should
bear the expense of transmission.

FOR THE PROTECTION OF SEALS.

Powers Proposing Joint Action

wAsHrNeroN CRY. Aug. 22-The state
department has initiated the next
phase of the sealing question by
addressing an Identical note to ell
maritime powers. inviting them TO
adhere TO the agreement reached by
the United States and Great Britain rela-
tive to the production of seal fisheries.
This was made necessary by the
award of the Paris arbitration, which
found the United States had no
exclusive jurisdiction over the
seal waters. and that these could
be protected only by mutual agreement.
By the terms of the treaty submitting her
case 10 arbitration Great Britain was bound
10 agree To the arrangement as to
the closed seasons and closed zones inn
posed by the arbitration tribunal. This,
Of course, could have no effect upon
other nations and vessels sailing under the
flags of Germany. France, Russia, Sweden
or even Hawai- were left by the award free
to prey upon the seals anywhere outside of
the thFee-msle limit from the Alaskan
shores and islands.
To meet this the tribunal recommended
that an effort he made 10 secure the adhe-
sion of other powers TO the same
arrangements that bound Great Britain
and the United States. There were
indications that certain enterprising mer-
chants were making ready TO conduct
raid on the seals under other flags
than ogr own and Great Britain,
notably the Hawaiian aud Ger
man flags, and il was felt 10 be
the only proyideat course to avoid any
dlsagresable incidents in the future to
invite the adhesion Of the remaining
