 Rhetorical Exercises.

Fifteen Boys Join in the High School
 Rhetorical Exercises. The rhetorical exercises at the high school yesterday afternoon were en- livened by an improvised song by ff- teen boys who had regularly and suc- cessfully evaded rhetorical perform ances but were at last conscripted by Prof. Wollam and forcy, into the ranks. Then the song became |. piece de resist ance, dernier resort and all that sort of thing. It was more remarkable for it's inharmony than for the sentiment it contained. The alleged tune was "After the Ball Is Over" Professor Wollam 10 the deadheads spoKe You've got to speak, boys, for your records broSe.
 We have no pieces, so the poor boys said, We'll sing song of our troubles instead. When we were young, boys-many years ago, We ha1 no pieces, thats-what we know. Now we are old, boys, and cannot fool, We must speak pieces while we go to school.
 Chorus
 After the school is over.
 After We speak no more.
 Then we will leave the floor, boys,
 For our song is OCT.
 Many heart is happy
 When we leave the floor,
 This is to be our last song, boys,
 We will speak no more.

 NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, May 11.- Another collision occurred between the deputy marshals and the common wealers this morning and two more of the latter are now confined to the hos pital suffering from gun shot wounds.
 Word was receive during the night that twenty-five men had captured two freight cars at Ellensburg and were coming down to liberate the Coxeyites imprisoned in the county jail. The marshals refused to meet the indus trials and stopped their cars by means of throwing rails across the track at 8 point two miles from the city. The in dustrials scrambled of the cars and started to run but were brought to a halt by bullets from the rifles of the marshals. Two of the men were wounded but not seriously. Others to the numer of 120 were marched to jail and locked up. The marshals claim that the first shot came from the com monwealers.
 Fifty Coxeyites and number of Yakima citizens accused of melting the army to resistance, were started on an early train this morning under a heavy guard for Seattle.
 Additional arrests are being made to- night of those charged with melting the irdustrials to resistance. Among those arrested are E. H. Libby, editor of the Yakima Republic; Wm. Mayer, carpenter; Chas. Little, policeman Wm. Steigler and farmer named Parker. They will be taken to Seattle tonight for trial along with the 12C Coxeyites who were arrested this morn. ing.

Released on Habeas Corpus.

SPOKANE, May 11.-Col. Phillips ar rived in Spokane this morning with a train load of sixty-fve commonwealers whom he had arrested at Yakima, 8 part of them for engaging in riot and others for interfering with trains. They were brought hele in order to escape from trouble that might occur at Ya- kima and for better protection.
 E.J Jeffries commander of the Seat tie Coxeyites now in Spokane secured a writ of habeas corpus from Judge Buck of the superior court of Spokane county to compel the marshal to return the prisoners.

FACT AND FUN IN JAPAN.
Another Large Audience Enter.
 tained by Eli Perkins.


 tafned by Eli Perkins.
 Eli Perkins in "Fact and Fun in Chinese and Japan' was greeted last night by an audience nearly as large and if possible more enthusiastic than that which heard him the night before in ''Philosophy of Wit and Humor." The lecture was largely descriptive of cent history of the Japanese. It was enlivened by an effervescent humor which not only amused but served to more clearly illustrate facts which otherwise might have been somewhat cold and dry though never uninterest- ing. In this lecture he makes strong argument in favor of American protec- tion. The subject is divested of all sophistry and is so clearly presented as to admit of no dispute.
 He shows for instance that the labor in Japan of taking the silk from cocoons, making 1t into skeins, is performed by girls at cents day. In this form it is ''raw material" and un- dutiable under the Mckinley law. "Why don't you give it another twist :? aSKeQ the lecturer OI one Ol tue Op- eratives. "Oh, then we'd have to pay thirty per cent duty on it, was the re- ply.
 This ''extra twist" is given by Ameri- can girls at Lowell and elsewhere at 75 cents day. The Wilson bill contem- plates a reduction of ten per cent, or one-third of the Mckinley tariff, one third of the advantage to American factory girls. one-third of their wages. The lecture was two hours in length and the latter end was fully as enter. taining as the beginning.
 Future visits by Eli Perkins to Phe- nix will be welcomed with delight.

 SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.-An evening paper publishes sensational story to the effect that representatives of Sec tary Herbert have begun an investiga- tion of the plates ot the monitor Mon- terey, at Mare Island, and have dis covered serious defects in their con- struction.
 One of the officials making the in- vestigation is quoted as saying that places have been found where the sheet would have crumbled if struck by a round shot and that from present ap- pearances the vessel wonld not stand an ordinary fire. Final tests are to be made after the informers have indi- cated what plates are bad. It is claimed that Secretary Herbert's pres- ent trip to the coast is partly in cor nection with the Monterey investiga- ton.

He is general fayorite throughout the town. The fact that he is entirely in- offensive leads to the suspicion that the attempted poisoning is a revengeful movement against his master.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-After struggle of
forty days against the united railroads
the American Railway Union in Chicago
has declared off the strike inaugurated in
behalf of the Pullman employees. Begin
ing tomorrow morning each member of
the union who responded to the order to
strike will be at liberty to resume work.
The strike is off in Chicago, except with
the employees of the Santa Fe and Chicago
and Eastern Illinois. By tomorrow the
strike will be declared off along the en-
tire systems of roads affected by the re-
cent movement This action was de-
cided on at q meeting of delegates OF
twenty-four local labor unions affiliated
with the American Railway Union held
this afternoon. This action was purely
local, and the declaration does not even
affect Pullman. Neither President Debs
nor any of the American Railway Union
national officials were present at the
meeting.
The action was taken at a mass meeting
Of railroad men held to-day, and is the
result of a secret session of the represent
atives of each local union, the question
being decided by balloting. 1t does not
apply TO railroad systems and to lines
outside the city. The fight will still be
waged on the Santa Fe and the Chicago
G Eastern Illinois Roads, and it is said by
the American Railway Union with every
prospect of success.
Beside the official business transacted,
the plans for the long-talked of country
industrial organization were discussed. 1t
is understood that Debs will prepare doc
uments for the official launching of a
new organization while away, and on his
return to the city he will, with the assist
ance of his colleagues. establish it upon
the plans and methods now contemplated.
The new organization, 1t is said, will bear
the name of the American Industrial
Union. D9bs left for Terre Haute to-
night.

SOUTH OMAHA STRIKERS.
They Signify a Willingness TO Arbi-

trate Their Differences.
OMAHA. Aug. 5.-The South Omaha
strikers have so far receded from their
position as to be ready to arbitrate their
differences. They had several largely
attended meetings to-day. There was
considerable aggressive but little riotous
demonstrations. After much discussion
of the situation the strikers agreed to
trust to arbitration and appointed COM
mittee to confer with the packing people
and arbitrate the scale of wages. The
strikers called on the managers of the
packing houses and after some prelim-
mary skirmishing they were told that
they would be given an answer to-mor-
row.
From other sources it is known that
the answer will be positive refusal TO
meet the Arbitration Committee, and to
refuse any terms except those first pro-
posed-a complete surrender and a return
of'the men at the old scale.
A car containing fifty butchers arrived
from Chicago at noon, and the men were
rushed into the works before the strik ers
had time to speak to them. Several
bodies of men have secretly entered the
plants, and it is now under stood that the
packers have enough butchers to replace
all the men out, and will be killing as
usual tomorrow. Some trouble is ap-
pretended when the strikers discover
that they have lost. The new men can
not be reached, as large dining hall has
been fitted up in the various plants,
and they will eat and stay there having
no intercourse with outsiders. Fifty ex-
ira policemen are on duty, and no striker
is permitted to approach the place, hence
no damage is likely, even if attempted.

to meet its obligations to-day than it was
just prior to the February bond issue.
There are some, however, who take less
hopeful view of affairs. They observe
that the gold reserve, which six months
ago was brought up to its normal coudi-
ton by an increase OF $50, ,000000 in the
public debt, is again melting, and already
reduced to a point Sl3,000,000 below the
lowest point reached prior to the Febru-
airy bond issue. They contemplate with
uneasiness the fact that for year or more
the ordinary expenses of the Government
have largely exceeded the receipts. This
was true even during last month, when, in
expectation OF material increase on the
tax on whisky, the receipts of internal
revenue were abnormally large. 1t is
argued that should the pending tariff bill
become law, and go into operation even
as early as the middle of the present
month, no material increase in the reve-
nue. could reasonably be expected earlier
than next December for the reason that
the tariff bill will have passed too late in
the season 10 realize any considerable
aMount from the fall importations.
The Treasury figures show that there is
now In this country at least six months
supply OF sugar, so little may be expected
from That source. This is true also of
whisky. The statistics of the Internal
Revenue Bureau show the tax has al
ready been paid on over 13, ,000, 600 gallons
of whisky in excess of the amount upon
which tax had been paid one year ago.
There is, therefore. bat little relief to be
expected from this source before Decem-
ber.
The only recourse, therefore, it is con-
tended, will be the bond issue. and there
are many we'll informed persons who be-
i1eve that if this Congress does not pass a
prOhibitory resolution before adjourn
ment S50000,0 600 or more will soon be is
sued. That there will be no difficulty in
placing any reasonable amount, even at
the premium exacted in February, it was
apparent from the fact that the February
bonds are being sold at LIZ per cent.

STABBED AND BEATEN,
One Man Fatally and Another Seri-
ouSIY Injured.

BRAZIL (Ind.), Aug. 5.-Ralph Wilson
and Henry Wright, residents of Attica,
were attacked this morning by a crowd
of men on the Chicago and Eastern Illi-
nois Railroad and horribly stabbed and
beaten. Wilson will die and Wright is
seriously injured. The men came to the
city to work on the above-named rail-
road and it is supposed were assaulted by
strikers. Another man who arrived here
to-day to take position on the same road
was attacked by what are said to be strik-
ers, and was only saved from being killed
by drawing a revolver holding the crowd
off until policeman arrived and escorted
him to the roundhouse. By request of
the citizens, United States Marshal Hawk
ms made five of the most prominent
business men Deputy Marshals, and in
vested IN them the power to select as
many assistants as are desired. The citi-
zens are thoroughly aroused over the acts
of violence, and will attempt to put stop
to it. More excitement prevails here
than at any time since the killing of En-
gineer Lyons during the great strike.
