ORIGIN OF CANARIES.

A Ship fri n the Canary Islands Intro.
thced Them to Italy.
About three hundred and fifty years
ago ship returning from the islands
in the Atlantic, which people then
called the Fortunate Isles, but which
were undoubtedly the Carnaries. went
ashore on the coast Of Italy. near Leg
horn, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. A cage Of beautiful birds cap
tured in these islands was broken and
the birds were liberated. Through some
caprice they did not take refuge on the
Italian mainland, but went to the Isle
Of Elbe. where, in due time, they nest
ed and bred and increased in numbers
The Italians discovered that they were
admirable singers, and began to cap
ture them and sell them in cages This
gave rise to traffic which soon COM
pletely cleared the Isle of Elbe of ca
nary birds, so that not one was left
there in wild state. From that time
the history of the canary has been one
of perpetual Imprisonment and of the
of his appearance and
character. He has become what may be
called an artificial bird. Every nation
of Europe has produced a canary Of a
special type. In the natural state Of ca
naries, as they still exist in the Canary
Islands, the birds are of a grayish green
or greenish brown color, and are not
for beauty; but they are
such energetic singers that they have
been known to break the membrane Of
their threats in pouring forth their
song.

Cleveland. o., May 2S.-The following
resolutions were adopted by the ANAL
gamated convention here this morning:
Whereas, We have Of recent years
teen the courts issuing injunctions
against men engaged in peaceable
strikes and restraining them from be-
ing present in the vicinity of the place
to which the controversy relates. and
| that these injunctions have been issued
without even the allegation of the least
unlawfulness having occurred, those
seeking these injunctions haveing Sc
cured them by expressing fears that
violations Of the law might occur. and
Whereas. The ease with which in
functions have been secured has
brought that agency into common use
by employers of labor whose employees
may take action to better their condi-
tons. and
Whereas, The courts in each succeed
in Injunction issued by them have m
creased the scope and severity therein
contained. and it would seem that the
pleasures Of the courts are the extent
Of our liberties. and
Whereas, The supreme court Of the
United States has just handed down
Its opinion in the case Of Eugene v.
Debs. the language Of which opinion
states in terms that cannot be mis-
understood, the supreme courts appro-
val of the use of this weapon against
organized labor in strikes. and thus is
the issuing of injunctions further en-
cOuraged and the common peoples
rights further endangered. therefore.

Resolved. That We in convention as.
sembled, do view with alarm the un-
necessary and unjustifiable curtailment
OF our liberties that is being done by in

through which it is sought to stealthily
take away from the people piecemeal.
rights that riberty-loving people
would never permit direct legislation to
interfere with, thus making it the more
repugnant because Of it's pretended in
nOcence.
Resolved. That we regret this latest
and most far-reaching decision on in
functions and that we believe that the
time has come when the united forces
of labor should lend all their energy
to the correction of this civilian evil
that if permitted to go on and contin-
ually increase. as seems probable, must
inevitably bring about ensIavement Of
the masses.
Resolved, That our sympathy goes
out to Eugene V. DebS and that we re-
gard the denial of his petition by the
supreme court as a denial of simple
justice.

WAR IN OAKLAND.

Frank Thomas in Difficulty With Men
Who Have Leased Vacant Lots.
The 800 or 900 lots in Oakland that be-
longed to the ]. B. Bartholomew COM
pany are likely soon to be in litigation.
j. n Graft of Oakland recently leased
all the vacant lots for the summer with
the idea of farming them himself or sub
letting them to others. They had near
ly all been sublet and work had
begun on the farming and gardening for
the summer when, yesterday, Frank
Thomas, who holds recent tax title on
about 500 of them, sent men down there
with teams to plow furrow around each
lot and take possession for him.
Mr.. Graft was on the ground and OBJ
jected strenuously. One man removed
his team on request, about all of the
others refused to vacate, and Mr.. Graft
simply took the horses by the bits and
led them off the lots.
Abe Fulford had some teams there and
did not like such treatment, but Mr. Graft
explained the situation to him and Full
ford has declined to do any more plow-
ing until the case is settled in court. Mr.
Graft is willing to have it settled there
and it probably will be.
There was a report that Mr. Graft
would have the lots bristling with deputy
sheriffs today, but he denies having any
such intention. Three or four mer
