REV CARWARDINE TELLS AN IN
TERESTING STORY OF THE
PULLMAN STRIKE

Rev. w. H. Carwardine. the Pullman
Methodist preacher, delivered his lecture
as advertised, to deeply interested au-
night. The platform from which Mr..
Carwardine spoke was occupied by Rev.
Falk Gjertsen, Rev. Thomas McCleery.
Frank x. Hall and other friends of the
labor cause in the city.
The speaker spoke of the strike and
causes leading thereto, asserting that the
logic of events was more responsible for
the unfortunate affair than any man or
men.
Mr.. Carwardine spoke in the kindest
manner Of Mr.. Debs and his associates
in the strike though admitting the mis-
takes which he made and which have
served to put him in false position be-
fore the courts and public.
The lecture was. an able discussion of
the labor problem, together with a we'll
told story OF Pullman and the antecedent
causes which led up to the trouble.
While his topic was 1.-The Pullman Strike
as Seen by a Methodist Minister" and
his account of the causes and the incl
dents of that great agitation was clear
and succinct, he devoted most of his ef-
fort to the effects of the strike and the
profitable lessons to be drawn therefrOm.
Rev. Carwardine is thoroughly honest,
sincere and earnest, and being wtthal
cool and clearheaded, is one Of the ablest
friends Of the workingman now in the
field. He spoke of Moses as leading the
children of Israel in a great strike against
Pharaoh and likened Debs unto the Jew
ish leader.
Mr.. Debs has no warmer friend than
the conscientious, thoughtful man who
addressed the intelligent audience of
thinking workmen last Tuesday and he is
fortunate in having MIN for an ally and
sagacious adviser.

DWARFING DOGS.

Specialists and doctars who take an in
terest in the progress Of alcoholism, it's
injurious action on generation and the
part it plays in degeneracy will be glad
to add another branch to their study in
the shape of the Justification of dogs.
For falsiicators of dogs exist in Paris
and thrive just as we'll as the imitators
of Japan ware, old furniture and pictures
of Corot, Teniers and Rubens. Ask for
a bottle Of Chartreuse in any grocery
store of Paris and you will be served
with a bottle of Charmeuse, and as to
truff1es, diamonds, champagne and cof-
fee, imitators of these have obtained too
lofty station for them to care for
criticism of their products.
It was generally supposed that the
animal reign had not been tempered with,
SO that most persons will be surprised
that the French have recently discovered
a method of producing tiny dogs. which,
when offered for sale on the boulevards
or in the Bots de Boulogne fetch good
prices on account of their rarity. Like
all other callings. competition is about
to cut down the profits of the originators
Of the idea, and next summer visitors
are promised any number of lilliputian
dogs at insignificant price.
This is how the diminutive animal is
produced: Snatched from it's mothers
breast when it is but few hours old, it
is put on an alcoholic diet instead of a
tactical diet. When 1t reaches a certain
age alcohol under different form con-
stitutes almost the sole diet of the ami
NAL. The young dogs do not die but
what is far more important, they do not
develop and appear to be wasting away
continually. They soon cease to grow
entirely. BY coupling these products the
lilliputian animal is obtained after two
or three generations. What a terrible
lesson for drunkards and absinthe con-
Sumers.

My conviction has grown so strong that
I no longer look upon this plan Of energy
or intelligence transmission as q mere
theoretical possibility, but as serious
problem in electrical engineering which
must be carried out some day
The idea of transmitting intelligence
without wire is the natural outcome OF
the most recent results Of electrical in
vestigations Some enthusiasts have ex-
pressed their belief that telephony to any
distance by induction through the air is
possible. l cannot stretch my imagina-
ton SO far, but I firmly believe that it
is practicable to disturb by means OF
powerful machines the electrostatic con-
dition of the earth and thus transmit in
teligible signals and perhaps power In
fact, what is there against the carrying
out Of such a scheme? We now know
that electric vibration may be Transmitted
through a single conductor. Why, then
not try to avail ourselves of the earth
for this purpose? We need not be fright
ened by the idea of distance
To the weary Wanderer counting the
mile posts the earth may appear very
large but to the happiest of all men, the
astronomer, who gaZes at the heavens
and by their standard judge the mag
nitude of our globe, it appears very
small. And so / think it must seem to
the electrician; for when he considers the
speed with which an electric disturbance
is propelled through the earth all his
ideas of distance must completely van
ish. A point Of great Importance would
be first to know what is the capacity of
the earth and what charge does it contain
of electricity

GRAIN MARKET
THE MINNEAPOLIS MARKET.

The large receipts here had a weak
effect at the opening. The first trade in
December was at 5811c, sc lower than
Saturdays close. After holding around
this price for half hour gradually sold
down to 57M@5Sc, and forced up again
on the unexpected big decrease in the
visible supply, closing at $3.50, a loss OF
&c for the day. There is an entire cessa-
ton of the bull news of which so much
was received last week. 1t caught no
buyers and so was stopped. The only
bull feature today was the decrease in
the visible, 1904 900 blu, when only mil
lion blu was looked for, making the Wis
ible supply 29,700,000 bu less than last
year. This ordinarily would have caused
a sharp advance, but the prospective
large receipts in the Northwest frightens
off all buyers.
Gables came weak and lower, rejecting
Saturdays decline. Wheat on passage
incres sed $4,000 blu, and the English visi-
BILE increases 100000 blu.
Clearances from the Atlantic seaboard
were 143, 900 bu wheat and -four.
One weak feature in the situation is the
large shipments of wheat from Russia
last week 4160,000 blu. This shows an
astounding increase and the worlds shir
ments of wheat for the week will be al
most 5000, 900 blu.
Primary receipts about 100000 bu less
than year ago, the large increase in
Minneapolis and Duluth offsetting the de-
crease in the W. country
Local receipts. 500 cars against 254 cars
last year. The demand continues good
from millers and elevator people, but
shippers are doing very little.

FLOUR AND COARSE GRAINS.
TT OT1p

Inc market holds in about the same
position that has ruled for some time
past. Wheat is easy but most mills are
disroslng Of their output, but at some-
what irregular prices. Foreigners are do
ing practically nothing, with low grades
and only a little with first clears. An &C.
casional lot of patents goes out to them
at a low figure.
BRAN AND SHORTS.
Mills are still quoting $3.50 for bran in
bulk Buyers are reluctant, but in the
East little inquiry is reported and
trades for 15-day shipment of goods can
now be made. The western trade is prac>
tically dead. Shorts ana midlings rule
quiet and easy with cornmeal and ground
feed now in active competition.
FEED AND MEAL.
The market holds steady at unchanged
prices. Stocks Of cheap oats in the hands
of millers are low. and some of them
are now bidding for corn to arrive. These
further decline in the finished articles.
Sales are comparatively light. Millers
quote: Gfound feed, $l4; Cornmeal, $14;
and bolted meal in wood, per Dbl, 81.
HAY
Very little good hay is coming. The bulk
of arrivals being only fair. The trade
appears willing to take these offerings at
relatively low values rather than adj
vance bids on the better grades. The
weather still favors good deliveries from
FARMERS wagons ana many CONSUMERS
are being supplied from this source.
CORN.
Corn on spot was firm and found good
buyers. Early sales made at 34Ac for
No. 3. Later the market was weaker.
For No. 8 corn to arrive millerS were
biding SAC, but not inclined to be as firm
as corner on spot. Corn to arrive, no
sellers.
RYE.
Early eastern markets were off cent.
For No. here SSc was considered a good
price with buyers of rye to arrive rather
Indifferent at that price. No. 3 quoted
h@1c lower than No 2.
FLAX.
Early bids We're 951ac for No. l. The
market for No. flax is based on Chicago
price. being &c under that market.
OATS.
Offerings were liberal and there was a
fair call for good stock. Most arrivals,
however, were of inferior quality and
graded No and no grade. For No. 3
choice, 1Sc was the ruling price while
many cars grading No. went at 170171ac
while some few cars would not even
bring bid.
No grade oats are worth all the way
from 16 to 1Sc, according to condition.
For No. 8 white to arrive, 19c was bid
without sellers.

FINISHED THEIR SENTENCES.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Directors William
Burns, James Hogan, Martin J. Elliott
and l.. w. Rogers, of the American Rail-
way Union, were released from the Wood
stock, Ill.,, Jail this morning, and arrived
in Chicago at an early hour. Sylvester
Kelliher, secretary, and Director Good
win were Also released, but did not come
to this city. Keliher went to Minneapo-
lis and Goodwin to Winona, to further the
work OF organization now going on in
Minnesota. George w. Howard, the ex-
vice-president, spent his term at the Jo-
liet Jail, and was set at liberty today also.
Hogan will go to Ogden, Utah, tonight,
while Elliott will go to Terre Haute and
Rogers to Pueblo this afternoon. All will
engage in the work of actively organic
ing new divisions of the union. Elliott
will speak at Cleveland on Labor Day.
His ultimate destination is Jersey City.
President Debs' term will not expire until
sthree months more, when he will come to
Chicago and re-establish the headquarters
now at Terre Haute, in this city.
In the meantime Burns will remain in
Chicago and push the work in this section
OF the country.
Great preparations are being made for
the wide distribution Of special edition
Of the Railway Union Times, the organ
Of the American Railway Union, to be is
sued Labor Day. This edition will con-
tain in addition to an address by Debs,
| condensed history of the strike and also
letter on the general railway situation
from the standpoint of organized labor.
Mr.. Burns said, in speaking of the future
| plans of the A. r. u:
1--WE have perfected a secret plan of
organization to protect the members from
| being discharged or blacklisted by the
railroads in whose employ they may be.
| This plan is so arranged that no man can
| tell on his neighbor The utmost any
| member can do is to b6tray the fact that
! he himself is member of the union. We
are going into the work of organization
| in earnest. There are ~ new lodges to
our credit since we went to Jail. The
| services of stenographer are found nee
essary in order that we might attend to
all our correspondence"
| Director Burns denies that the A. R.
U. has any intention of affiliating with
the American Industrial Union, the or
ganization founded by ex-President Geo.
Howard. ''To all inquiries of this sort, "
said he, 1--WE have invariably answered
| that we know nothing about the, Ameri-
| can Industrial Union. We think we are
| a sufficiently big tub to stand on DIR own
| bottom

MR.. CLEVELAND THE BARRIER.

Ultimately the United States will be
the restoration Of silver by converting
it from its currency function to a
money basis. L. Il. Cudert, the we'll
known French financier, says: If the
nationals of the world should agree
upon a uniform standard there is no
doubt in my mind that it would be the
greatest boon the world Of finance has
ever received" Coudert says however,
that it is his opinion that unless Europe
acts with the United States in fixing
a bimetallic standard that this country
will go to silver recommendation. Ger
many, in the meantime, proposes the
international conference. But what
can the desire Of France, the PROPOSE
ton of Germany and the demand of
the American people amount to with
Mr.. Cleveland absolutely holding the
situation? The conference, with Cleve-
land commissioners representing this
country could result only one way, and
that in postponing all chances for an
International agreement. Mr.. Cleve-
land has no conviction stronger than
that gold monometallism is the only
standard. With his veto, together with
his power to appoint the commissioners
there is no hope for an effectual and
legal recognition of silver until his
successor is elected, and then the
chances seem entirely in the direction
of independent action.
