that there is trouble, but no definite idea
of its extent could be given.

Labor Has No Right to Claim Employ
ment, Says an Illinois Lawyer.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Jan. 2S-At the ses-
sion OF the State Bar association C. A.
Ewing of Decatur delivered a special
address on compulsory Arbitration"
He said: Experience had shown that
compulsory arbitration was not an effec-
tive remedy in the solving of labor trou-
bles. The verdict of an arbitration
board, if enforced against the will of one
of the parties, leads to hostility and
hatred on the part of the vanquished,
not only toward the victor. but toward
the body that gave the victory and per-
haps toward the government which Gre
ated that body. What is known as E'com-
pulsory arbitration" involves violation
of personal rights.
Sin my judgement" said Mr.. Ewing,
there is no room for the proposition that
the labOrer has a right to certain special
opportunity to labor and that his en-
ployer cannot deprive him of it Sub
stantIaily that proposition was advanced
In the United States senate during the
Homestead distur bance. 1t was there
maintained that the laborer had a right
to employment; that he had right to
live; that he had the rights to the means
of living
This proposition is a general one aud
means nothing unless it is understood to
mean that the owner of a particul ar
plant has no right to discharge the me n
in his employ; that they have a right to
livelihood at his hands. That PROPOSE
ton, in my judgment, has no foundation
IN sound reason or natural Justice"

correct location of the grave.
A word var ensued, which resulted in

of wood used in supporting a coffin over

for d general attack of Fox.

WAR RUMORS.
This Time it is Between France and San
Domingo.


New YORK, Jan. 2S-A special to the
World from Puerto Plata, San Domingo,
dated January IS, says:
Trouble seems imminent between
France and the Domingo republic. A
French man-of-war appeared off San
Domingo City a few days ago and began
to take soundings. Soon after she de-
parted and reappeared. The latter was
boarded by a ilot who was informed
that his services were not needed and
when he asked the commander what his
intentions we're, he was told none of his
business.
The San Domingo authorities had
dispute with a bank a few years ago and
eventually took 100000 from it. The
bank was backed by French capital and
the hackers laid their case before the
French government. France demanded
that the money be restored to the bank,
but diplomatic negotiations seem to have
resulted in nothing.
The World CORES pondent learns upon
trustworthy authority that the French
ultimatum has already been sent in and
that it demands the return of the $4,000
and $2OO,OJO as indemnity.
President Hareaux, it is said, has de :
clared that he has no money to pay it
with.
Dispatches for the British admiral at
Jamaica passed this port today probably
asking him TO look after British inter
ests in case of mbardment

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-The Judicial
determination OF the question whether a
person who has received the full number
of acres of land allowed under the pre-
emption law can also enter an addi-
tional $50 acres under the homestead
law, or vice versa, is sought in COM
munication forwarded bv the secretary of

recommending that suit be instI-
tuted to cancel patents for lands
near Durango, Colo, issued TO James
Cash Cash removed from land of his
own in the same state when he took up
his residence on his presumption claim in
the Durango land district and the pre-
emption entry is held to be illegal.
The question is one of great import
ance in the administration of land laws
and involves the stability of titles &C
quired under these laws. The settled
rule of the department is that both en-
tries can be made, the only restriction
being that both shall not be consum-
mated at the same time.

METAL RAILROAD TIES.
The Agricultural Department Urges Their
Use to Save the Forests.


Use to Save the Forests.
WASHINGTON, Jan 2e-A protest
against the denudation of forests in ord
er to secure material for railroad ties is
made in a report issued by the agricul-
tural department on the use of metal
railroad ties and preservative processes
and metal tie plates for wooden ties.
1t shows that about 20 per cent Of the
railroad mileage of the world outside Of
the United States and Canada is laid on
metal. Although process in this direction
in this country has been slow, the reports
say, by the waning of forests supplies
and as the railroad companies be lan
more and more to assume permanent
and less speculative character, it can be
a question of only short time when this
saving of forest supplies will be forced
upon them, insuring greater efficiency
and final economy.
Throughout the world, it is shown
metal ties have been successfully applied
and are in successful use under all condi
tions of climate, traffic and track. The use
of metal tie plates has spread to an enor-
nous extent during the past few years,
owing to Improvements effected in econ
omv and efficiency of track for very
low first cost Even in many parts of
Africa steel ties are extensively used. and
in India nearly so per cent of the mile
age is laid with metal track. In the
United States little practical progress in
metal ties is reported
The proportion of track laid with metal
ties to the total length of railway
throughout the world has increased from
Z per cent in 1890 to 10 per cent in 1894
