PERMISSION GRANTED

To the Japanese American Line OF
Steamers to Dock Vessels at the Puget
Sound Dock Yard.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 26.-The navy
department has granted permission to
the new Japanese-American line to
dock the steamer Yamaguchi Maru at
the Puget Sound dock yard at Port
Orchard, WASH, on October g. This is
one of the fast ships of the Nippon
Yusen Kaishi l, the great Japanese
maratime corporation which recently
established trans-Pacific line conect-
ing at Seattle with the Great North
ern railway to compete with the
Canadian Pacific railway and
steamship. Hitherto all vessels of the
size of this Japanese ship have been
docked on the American coast only at
Esquimault, B. c., which is the British
naval station, and the only yard hav.
ing sufficient docking capacity. The
Puget sound dock, which was not
finally accepted by the government
until this week, was intended wholly
for naval purposes, but the navy de.
partment has ruled on the application
of the Japanese company that the use
of the dock in emergencies will be per.
mitted, provided there is no expense to
the United States.

A few years ago Mr.. Bryan was telling

A few years ago Mr.. Bryan was telling
his Nebraska audiences that the cause of
all their troubles was the high wages
paid to the "shop workers." On this
ground he favored free trade. Now, he
poses before these "ehop workers" with
a smile and tells them their great enemy
is their employer, and the capitalist who
lends him money at % to per cent. to
run the mills and factories. True to his
anarchistic impulses, he seeks to array
these hated "shop workers" against their
best friends by saying, 'the ballot was
not given to you by any man who EN-.
ploys you; that ballot was given to you
by law it will be yours after your em.
ployment ceases" He might have truth
fully added, Sand your employment at
the present high rate of wages will cease,
as soon as am elected. voted to cut
your employment down, and give your
job to foreigner. Now, want to re-
duce by fifty per cent. the purchasing
power of such employment as you may
still be able to find" That's the logic
of his contention.

A cLEW

To the Mysterious Murder Near Eliza.
beth, Pa.-The Head and Bloody Cloth.
ing Found.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 2s.-On Sep.
tember 10, the vicinity of Wylie sta
tion, near Elizabeth, Pa, was thrown
into great excitement by the finding in
the Monongahela river of the headless
body of a man who had evidently
been murdered. A reward offered by
the county commissioners stimulated
research and many parties have been
securing the country to find the dead
mans head or clothing. Sunday after
noon the bloody garments were found
among some weeds and bushes
near the river and small
mound nearby when opened,
proved to be the burial place Of
the head, which is we'll preserved
and is that of man As or so years old,
well formed, with gray eyes, dark hair
and sandy chin whiskers, slightly
mixed with gray. No one has been
able to identify the victim of the crime,
but it is thought Pittsburgh tailor's
label on his coat will lead to a clew.

Over in Clinton county, the other day,
Uric Sloane spoke for four hours on the
currency question, and in all that time
never told his hearers why it was not
class legislation to take the bullion of
the mine owner, stamp it and hand it
back to him doubled in value. Or why,
if it was not increased in value, it would
be right to split in two the wages of the
poor. He never told them how the
masses we're to get these private dollars
dumped into the vaults OF the silver mill
lionaires. He never told them how free
silver would start a single wheel of in.
dustry or remove the curse of free wool
and Democratic tariff. He never told
them why it was such horrible thing
for capitalists to lend their money for
the encouragement of wage paying en-.
terprises at "a to per cent. on gold
basis, or why it would be so much better
to have money lenders charge nine and
twelve per cent, as they do in all coun.
tries on silver basis. He didn't tell
them, as lawyer, what was to prevent
the creditor from crowding the debtor
to the wall by foreclosure long before he
could avail himself of the benefits (ii
there were any of free silver. And there
are many other things he didn't tell
These free silver harangues to the voter
remind US very much of the man who
gets over in the corner of the pasture
and calls, "Cope Cope Cope" and he
holds out his hand as if there was salt in
it. But, there isn't. The victim is lured
within reach. He's caught and bridled
and saddled, and in this case, is to be
straddled and mastered and ridden unfed
through barren desert, by the silver
king. That "Cope Cope Cope " may
sound ever so sweet and musical, but il
simply means that you are to be made
the beast of burden whose unpaid and
thankless task shall be to carry the silver
millionaire into greater wealth and lux
ury. These harangues are not intended
to give you vital facts, but to conceal
them from you.

4 BALTIMORE, Sept 2s.-Three big rats
attacked the two-months-old baby Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Asher. Of 1850 Low

The robbers obtained $50 in cash

The men were white and unmasked.
They did their work like experts.
Since the courts of the territory have

STRIKE ENDED.

LEADvILLE, Col, Sept. 2s.-The great
vile in q turmoil for nearly two months
and which resulted in the killing Of
Ave men last Monday morning and the
subsequent placing of the city under
martial law, is ended. A meeting
Of the strikers was held Satur-
day night under the supervision
of the militia, and after stormy
session it was finally decided that the
men return to work at the old sched.
ule prices, providing the mine owners
would agree to give them their old
places. A committee of five was ap-
pointed to confer with the mine own.
ers, and as 1t Is generally believed that
outside of the one or two mines that
have started up with non union men,
the old men will be taken back, no
further trouble is expected.
The strike was the outcome of the
organization of the miners by the
Western Federation of Miners, and al
most every mine worker was in the
union when their demands were made
and refused.
The miners asked SO day for all
classes of workmen, including surface
and underground men. This the own
ers declared they would not pay, and
nearly all of them closed down, sew.
eral even allowing the pumps to stop.
The employers remained willing to
continue paying the wages which had
prevailed up to that time. Under that
scale surface workers were paid only
$3.50. Practically the only change the
union demanded was the advance OF
the wages of this class of men to So.

TRADE REVIEW.

4 Distsaot Improvement In the Buying
oe lGassrisl--Ths Price Of wheat Closed
Lee Gents Higher for the Week.
NEW YoRK. Sept. Scr. @. Dun &
Co says Saturday:
A very moderate and yet distinct i'm
provement IL seen in the buying Of ma
terials, which stiffens prices also in or
ders for products of some industries in
money markets and in exports Of sta
Piles. It has started some improve
ment works and prompted q few con-
siderable contracts. While the gain
in working force Is not great it seems
clear that for the first time in many
months there is some net gain.
An important change Is the general
advance in produce markets, especially
in wheat, which rose sharply on Thurs
day and Friday, closing SIC higher for
the week. Reports of crops abroad
were supposed to be the chief cause,
as visible supplies in this country in
creased largely, but for the first time
since July western receipts fell be-
low those of the same week last year.
Atlantic exports, -four included, were
for the week a little more than a year
ago, for September 1000, 900 more and
81, sO7, ,553 bushels since July 1, against
IA, 1913, ,3Os last year. If there should
come an unusual foreign demand it
would make a great difference with
future business
Cotton advanced an eighth week
ago, but lost three-sixteenths and with
full receipts might have gone farther
but for resumption of work by several
important mills. Much less than the
full capacity of mills is working and
the demand for goods has been quite
slack, with decline of a sixteenth in
print cloths, but in other goods recently
advances are maintained. Specu
lative buying of wool does not abate
sales for four weeks having been -,
s44, 400 pounds against 23,75s,97O last
year, but no gain in prices resulted. A
few of the wooden mills are resumine
the belated demand for heavy goods
constituting most of the gain visible
but manufacturers show confidence
that more goods will be wanted wher
the future Is more clear.
