CRISIS IN ENGLAND.

Campbell Bannerman Resigns from the
Cabinet-GOvernment Defeated.
LONDON, June 24.-The government
was defeated Friday on the motion of
Hon. William st. John +. Broderick,
conservative member for the Guilford
division of Surrey, to reduce the salary
of the secretary of war by e10o on ac-
court of an alleged deficiency in the
army stores and munitions of war,
chiefly cordite. The motion was adopt
ed by q vote of 1872 to 1875.
The war secretary, Mr.. Campbell Ban
herman, instantly wrote out his resig-
nation, which he forwarded to the
prime minister to hand to the
queen. He feels the defeat as
personal affront. and resents
its instigation by the opposition bench,
to whom he had promised to give the
information sought if expressly called
on to do 50. They avoided the respon-
sibility of making the demand, yet
voted against him.

COFFEE BY THE FRENCH.
Their Women Understand Well the Art Of
Making 1t.

Their Women Understand Well the Art Of
Making 1t.
There are at least two things which
the French understand better than the
English, coffee and salads. In En-
gland the coffee berries are as good as
those that are bought in France at
double or three times the price. but the
beverage that is made from them is al
most invariably bad. in hotels no less
than in private houses. French vis-
itors have explained again and again
the reason of this inferiority, but to no
purpose; for John Bull, difficult as he
is to please over his tea, is Indifferent
on the subject of coffee, and will go
through life serenely and unconscious
of the fine aroma and flavor that may
be extracted from the yellowish green
berry if proper attention is given to the
matter.
The main rules are these: The ber-
ries should be freshly roasted and
should never be put into the mill until
the coffee is about to be made. To buy
coffee already ground is indefensible
Supposing it to be pure when retailed
by grocers in that state, it has gener-
ally lost much of it's aroma. which is
exceedingly volatile. Now, the aroma
is to coffee what the bouquet is to Bor-
deaux Burgundy. that is to say, almost
everything. However generous" a
wine may be, if it has no fine bouquet
it is merely vim ordinaire-good enough
for common use, but not to be offered
to friend at dessert.
When it has lost it's aroma coffee il
almost worthless. chicory being then
quite as good, if not preferable. But
when it's essential perfume rises pow
erfulfy with the steam of freshly
poured out cup it is one of the best and
most delicate of natures little atten-
tions to mankind. In all French kitch-
ems the coffee-mill is regarded as one
of the most Indispensable Of utensils;
and although people living in large
towns gener lily buy their coffee ready
roasted, in country houses the roasting
is done at home-a very simple and ex-
cellent contrivance being sold for the
purpose.
But it is of little use to talk of cof-
fee to people who only drink it when
mixed with milk. 1t is only so en-
ployed by the French at their early
breakfast, when. in their opinion, the
addition of chicory improves it; but
those who have the proper respect for
the refnements of LIE think it rank
heresy to use ever so little Of the Bit
ter root in making cafe noir. The En-
glish will never understand the art of
making coffee until they learn to ap-
preciate the true flavor and virtue Of
the berry when served in the form of
cafe noir after lunch or dinner. The
habit, however, is not worth cultivat-
ing when it is done parsimoniously.
To obtain good result there should
be much coffee and little water. 1t is
not the quantity, but the quality of
the liquor that is to be thought of. In
as there is nothing like black
coffee-unless it be strong tea-to whip
up the nerves, it should be used with
or not at all, by the ever-in-
creasing number of people who are
more or less nervous.-Philadelphia
Times.

Immigration.

Russians from South Dakota in large
numbers are taking land in the west
ern part if Stutsman county. Where 10
days ago there was not a sign of immi-
grants are now to be seen 80 families,
and more are coming. They are filing
upon government lands or else buying
Northern Pacific railroad lands at low
rates. The settlers have picked out a
region abounding in rich grasses in the
hills in the extreme southwestern part
of this county. These are desirable
settlers and they will go largely into
sheep and cattle.

Hail Storm.

The recent hail storm at Abercrom bic
was the worst ever known in that
vicinity. Hail to the depth of six incl
fell on the ground. Holes big enough
FOR man to put his fist in honeycombed
the ground. The center of the storm
was only about half a mile wide. A
number of farmers had their entire
acreage of grain pounded out of exist
ence. Andrew Sandal saved his life
by kneeling and sticking his head under
his body. His head was cut in numer-
GUS places and about so bruises were
made on his back. The story comes
from the Brandin farm, on the Mime
SO side, that hail stones 13 inches in
circumference were found. This was
by actual measurement.

The Red River.

Navigation of the Red river from
Grand Forks both north and south is
being carried on this season under much
more favorable auspices than for many
years previous. There are at present
two transportation companies doing
business on the stream. and both fleets
are able to carry full cargoes. The
Great Northern line, with its steamer
and three barges, brings 1900 bushels
of wheat into port every trip, and the
Fawcett line. running for the Northern
Pacific, has about one-half of that ca
pacity.
This year the ordinary conditions as
to water stage have been reversed.
The spring WINS marked by low water,
and at this, the period of dry time and
shallow water, rains have swelled the
volume materially, making it possible
for navigation to continue uninterrupt.
ed. The Great Northern steamer and
barges left recently for a trip IS
miles down the river, portion of
which, known as Goose Rapids, is, in
the natural state of the Red, rarely
navigable.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS.
0ovsrnment Work.

For several years past the Northern
Pacific has every spr:ng done work s>
the Missouri river north Of the big bridg e
ut Mandan to prevent the ss.eam from
cutting across the bottoms beyond the
bridge. Somehow the water seems to
have lost its liking for its channel un-
der the bridge, and has q preference
for short cut across the bottoms.
The railroad company has dumped hum
dreds of carloads Of rock into the capa.
cious holes in the river bank, with the
object Of stopping the rivers career.
But this year the railroad company has
quit the work, and the United States
government has taken hold of it. A
pile driver 10 now there, and in few
days will build jetties out into the
stream. These jetties will be from 200
to 600 feet long. Large quantities of
brush and rock will be used in the
work.
While the government is doing this
work the Northern Padific has steam
shovel and crew at work filling in the
trestle west of the bridge. This trestle
was erected in 1892, and three years ago
was partially filed up. BY the end of
next month there will be huge en-
bankment reaching clear up to the west
end of the bridge on which the trains
will run, instead of the trestle which
tlmid passengers have been afraid of
for years past.

In 1854 the idea was conceived to organize
the trade throughout the country with
trade district under the laws Of the X. OF L.
In 1885. at the convention held in Gin
cinnati, District Assembly, No. So, was
launched. The labor Of organizing the
trade had been continued so vigorously
from that time To 1888 that it was decided
to call another convention to meet in Brook
lyn, N Y, July %, 1883 AT that con-
vention over one hundred delegates from
the United States and Canada represent
ing the International Plumbers and Gas
filters Association, the Brotherhood Of
Plumbers and GaSfitters, and the plumbers
and gasfitters in the Knights of Labor.
PERFECTING AN ORGANIZATION.
The convention was held for the pur-
pose of consolidating organizations that
remained outside TIE order of the K. OF L.
There was a conspicuous display OF good
feeling, nd the desire for unification was
so general that the delegates felt that the
time had come for the principle, THAT IN
union there is strength" TO be manifested
by suitable action. But a goodly number
of the delegates had received no specific
instructions, therefore all that could be
done was to report back the general senti.
ments expressed at the convention.
But in conjunction with this action an
executive committee of three, represent
ing each orga niZation, was appointed to
receive reports from these bodies and
to arrange for another meeting, provided
the ma iority of reports favored unifica-
tion. At this meeting it was to be de-
cided as to what name the entire united
bodyshould be know II by in the future The
result of the reports was that very urgent
call was issued 81 gned by Richard a.
O'Brien, WASH ngton, d. c.. secretary-treas-
urer, n. 7. A, No. S5, X. OF L., for
the Knights OF Labor; Edward d. Connor,
Chicago, i'll, president, International Asso-
citation OF Plumbers, etc, u. s.. for the
Inter national Association, and Phillip p.
Connealy. Boston, Mass, for the inde
pendent unions.
The call was sent to the plumbers craft
! throughout the United States and Canada
to meet in convention in Washington, d.
c., on Monday, October Z, 1889. in Plumb
ers Han, Four-and7a half street and Penn
sylvania avenue, for the purpose of unit
ing the craft into one organization.
In response to the call forty delegates,
| representing twenty-three local unions,
from fourteen States, assembled and held
| daily sessions from October Z to October
| ID of that year
The result of that convention was the
| formation of the United Association of
Journeymen Plumbers, Gas Filters, Steam
| Filters and Steam Filters Helpers, of the
United States and Canada, which is the
present organization.
The local plumbers of this city Joined
| the K of L. in 1888, and remained in
that order till the formation Of the pres
! ent national organization.
| The membership of the national body at
the last report was about 10000, and has
representatives in 145 of the principal
cities in the United States and Canada.

Mr.. Ed. j. O'Brien's Name Was the
First on the Can Issued to the
Country in 1SS9-Early Struggles of
the Organization-Wh the Local
Officials Are.

The plumbers org aniZations Of the
United States, like many other labor bod
les, have had their ups and downs in strug
Cling to maintain their natural rights.
Thirty years ago an organization was
formed in New York which Immediately re-
suited in materially improving the prospects
OF the plumbers without any injury to their
employers. That organization was main
tained with considerable success until the
breaking out of the Civil War but had tosuc-
cunb to the inevitable during that tre-
mendous struggle.
In 1868 the plumbers again rallied and
made gallant fight in the general move
ment for an eight-hour work day. The col
lapse of that agitation in 1872 was disheart-
eDing and the organization d windIed away.
This state OF decay, however, was not
decreed 10 last for all time.
In 1882, shortly. after the formation
OF the Knights of Labor, the plumbers and
gasfitters Were among the first trade
bodies solicited by the X. OF L. to accept
membership
The success emboldencd the organization
to move forward on further lines Of action.

Union, was born in Richmond, Va, in 1868,
but has been a resident of Washington
for the past eighteen years. He served his
apprenticeship here, aud on becoming

The appearance of the members in their
neat uniform ON Labor Day was favorably
commented upon by many spectators
Previous TO starting out ON the morning
of Labor Day very interesting ceremony
took place in the hall. 1t was the presen-
tation Of a handsome gold medal with
the emblens Of the trade in raised figures
and suitably inscribed to Mr. John F.

faithfully served the union in that respon-
sibIe position for thirteen years.
The presentation was made by Presi
dent O'Brien, and feelinGly responded To
and accepted by Mr. Murphy.
