In several cities Of the East, notably
Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburg, war
has broken out for a three-cent car
fare. In Chicago one company operat-
ing sixteen miles of lines that do not
reach the business part OF the city is
considering the question of reducing
fares from five to three cents. the i'm
preston of the management being that
enough additional travel will thus be
secured to make the experiment profit
able. A resolution is to be offered in
the council requiring the other compa-
MES to provide seats for every nickle
fare and forbidding the exaction Of
more than three cents where a seat is
not provided. The argument is made
that everything else has come down In
price and car fares ought to follow.
Here in Montana. where such a thing
as q cent is never seen from one years
end to the other, the three-cent agita-
ton viii be indefinitely postponed.

speak proudly of cur six new battleships,
two Of which have not yet been begun.
England builds six or eight battleships
a time. Last year she had 10 battleships
in process of construction, and others
have been authorized since.
Uncle Sam will have II cruisers when
all of the new ships are finished:
Great Britain builds 40 or so cruisers at a
time. Her fighting strength on the ocean
Is so enormous that she could wipe our
new navy OF the seas. as by a sweep of
the hand. The idea is unpleasant, but
Il is cold truth. The time is drawing near
when England is likely to be obliged to
encounter In war the combined forces Of
Russia and France. At present she sur
passes In naval strength both of these ad-
versaries together. She has now afioat
e12 $50 tons or armored vessels. Against
this gigantic aggregate the Dual Alliance
Is able to muster only 461. 764 armored
tons,
Under these circumstances there Is no
danger that France and Russia will pre-
cipitate a conflict with Great Britain for
a year or two. at all events. BY 1897,
however, the situation will have under
gone a great change. Russia and France
are at present engaged in the construc-
ton Of mighty fleets. The shipyards of
both countries are scenes Of extraordi-
nary activity. which has a definite and
unmistakable object in view. That object
is war-a war which military authorities
everywhere believe to be inevitable In
1897 the new navies of Russia and France
will have been completed and the Dual
Alliance will be quite 30 per cent. strong
er than Great Britain on the ocean.
There Is only too much reason for be-
ieving that Russia and France will seize
this time and opportunity for assailing
England, and that the year 1897 will wit
ness the commencement of the most tre-
mendous conflict that the world has ever
seen. The term of the Triple Alliance
VIII not then have expired, and by that
compact Germany. Italy and Austro-
Hungary will be held aloof Thus Great
Britain Will be entirely Isolated and can
be attacked to the greatest advantage. In
the event of British defeat, the rivalry of
Russia and England In Asia will be de-
cided forever.
In the current number of the Naval In
stitute Lieutenant r. p. Hobson, u. s.
N. says that no fact is so universally
accepted abroad as the imminence, the
very presence of war 1t is living actu-
atty. Not only every man in the armies
and navies of the great powers expects to
take part personally, but every individual
with any hold on life expects to be a
witness. This imminent war bids fair to
involve all of the six great nations of Eu-
rope, comprising population of about
S24, 100000. In this aggregate of popula-
ton about 14000,000 men are able to bear
arms and the six nations referred to pos
sess more than 100000 tons of fighting
vessels afioat. The conflict will be on a
scale incomparably greater than any in
the worlds history.

A Black FRIDAY.

In forcing a panic in Wall street
yesterday. England resorted to her
customary methods, those of a buffer
and bulldozer. She would. IL she could,
scare the United States into an aban-
donment Of the Monroe doctrine by de-
preciating the value of all American
securities and impairing in every pos
sible way our financial credit. The
peculiar monetary conditions at pres
ent prevailing In this country were
such as to render Wall street extreme
ly sensitive to foreign attack. Under
a normal state of financial affairs the
heavy selling orders, while of course
exerting a bearish influence, would not
have resulted in anything like the de-
cided slump that occurred. Our own
capital would have stood ready to seize
with avidity everything in the shape of
bargains. That is to say. timidity, the
fear of a costly war, did not render
American capital unequal to the emer-
gency so much as the complex finan-
cial situation, the heavy and long-con-
tinued Withdrawals of gold and the
general uncertainty as to future legis-
lation. England shrewdly fetched us a
slap at a moment when we were III
prepared for II.
The situation is one that should not

AS TO the effect of England's attempt

the telegraph, which of course are own
ed in the south by the people of the
south, that all these lynchings are to ex-
plate atrocious crimes on women and
children. l have indisputable evidence
to prove that that is not so.
II think very good medium is the
Negroes behavior in the south during the
war. The white men were at the front
fighting to keep the coIored man in slav-
cry. The very colored man he sought
to injure was left at home to take care of
the white mans wife and children, and
there was not one breach of trust. not
one.
II was forced into this work by the
lynching of three of my personal friends
at Memphis, Tenn, on the 9th of May,
1892. l had quit teaching school then,
and had established in successful opera
ton a newspaper which we called the
Free Speech.
THE three men lynched were respect
ed grOcerymen. Sneak thieves had
made an attempt on their property and
they resented it by firing on them 1t
was time to teach the niggers lesson,
the white men said. and they took the
colored men from the Jail and lynched
them. The paper referred to them as
three colored toughs. In the next issue
of my paper 1 printed an editorial de-
nouncing the lynchers and the
officers that allowed it. The
daily papers advised that l be lynched
and a committee waited on me, but

the office, chased my business manager
out of the city, and was informed that

watched. have not been back, but
Immediately began my crusade against
lynching in the south and l shall con-
tinue it, Anti-lynching clubs are being
formed all over the United States where
1 have been for the purpose of educat-
ing the people on the subject. 1 have
confidence enough in the American peo-
pie to believe that if they are once ac-
quainted with the exact facts the prac-
tice will be stamped out.

Time Between New York and Chicago SIX
Hours and FOrty-Seven Minutes.
NEW YORK, June S.-The great exhi-
bition of long distance riding in the his
tory of cycling between Chicago and
this city terminated at 30 o'clock this
morning at the junction of Sixteenth
street and the Boulevard.
The great race, which required great
deal of careful preparation, started from
Chicago Wednesday morning at o'clock
and was to cover 1000 miles intervening
between that city and New York. The
record has been broken and the distance
covered by six hours and forty seven
minutes better time
In organizing this relay, departure
was made by distinction in the colors
worn by the riders. The military was
represented by blue and postal service by
red.
Mr.. McMad, Postmaster Dayton's pri-
vate secretary, received the message by
the red forwarded by Postmaster Hesing
of Chicago, and represented the post
office department, and Al minutes later
Gen. Miles received from the blue the
message from Gen. Merritt.
1t all it required over 500 riders and
substitutes to carry the messages.
