will also be one or more candidates to
be considered in the general round up in

WILLIAM RETToER,


The Victim OF the Ho,stins- W orks Strike
Riot at Cleveland, Buried-The Mos,
Imposing Funeral Pageant Ever Giver
a Laboring Man.
CLEVELAND, o., July G. The funeral
of Wm Rettger, the striker killed at
the Brown hoisting works, was the
most imposing funeral pageant ever
given a laboring man in Cleveland.
There has been but one occasion when
there was larger procession and
greater crowds--the funeral of Gar,
field. The actual count, TO-, 300 men
formed the funeral cortege. The
funeral services were held in the
church of the Immaculate Conception.
A conservative estimate places the
number of spectators about the church
and along the line of march to the
cemetery at 100000. The procession
moved quietly and save for the dirges
played by the. many bands no sound
save the tread of feet broke the
quiet The white casket in which
rcposcd the remains was literally bur.
led in flowers. Rev. Thorpe, in the
course of his sermon said: Human
passion is strange, and the lesson to-
day teaches that we many times go be-
yond our sire myth and that there is
no way to reason against human pas
sion. The lesson we must learn to-day
is that in society to-day there are two
classes, capitalist and wage Garner.
Next to capital there is
the strong right arm, OF
labor. One can not exist without the
other. The capitalist has a right to
manage his capital. He has the right
under the laws of the state and nation.
He makes hazardous adventures, and
on account of the risks in business has
the right to do as he chooses He
may abuse that right and forget God
in his enjoyment of his riches If
he does, there is remedy, but
it does not lie in passion or violence.
The remedy is public sentiment and
the law. There is another class, not
banded together as you are. They
have their individual rights and those
who administer the law must protect
them. Scenes have been enacted dur
ing the past week which should never
have occurred These men who have
become victims of your hate have rights
under the law
X continued at some length to score
the strikers for the scenes of violence.
After the funeral the sermon was
roundly denounced by many

CROPS DAMAGED.

The Water in the Frazer River Gradually
Rising-Nearly as High the High
Water Mark of 1894.
VANCOUVER, July G.-Reports from
Frazer river points state that the river
is steadily rising. AT Chilliwack con-
siderable damage has been done to
crops on the outlying lands. Nicomen
island is also suffering from high
water, and all down the river on both
sides, wherever low levels are not fully
protected by high dykes, much dam
age is being done.
Word has just been received from
Westminster that the water at high
tide was two feet eight inches below
the mark reached during the floods OF
1894. The steamer GLADYS brings word
that Sumas is flooded and the water is
up to the banks at Chilliwack. A large
portion of Dewdnys is also under wa
ter. At Langley the water is leve
with the landing and at several other
places it is over the wharves.
