HAmBuRG's mock STRIKE.
The Coal Heavers OF England Urged
to stand by Them.

London, Nov. 2S.-4The executive COM
mittee of the Londondock laborers union
has received a dispatch from the leaders
of the strikers at Hamburg. asking them
to do all in their power to prevent steam
ers from Hamburg seeking coal from pro-
curing it. The coal hsavers at Hamburg
yesterday decided to join the striking
dock laborers and this action, it Is be-
lieved, will compel STEAMERS accustomed
to coal at Hamburg, to seek their fuel
elsewhere. Should the London men refuse
to coal steamers putting into the Thames
to NIL their bunkers, their action would,
it is thought. tend TO greatly strengthen
the cause of the Hamburg strikers
-
New York, Nov. 2S--Local steamship
agents think it not impossible that the big
strike of dock laborers now in progress in
Hamburg may extend to the larger sea-
port cities of the United States. At the
office of the Hamburg-American Packet
Company and Funch. Edge & Co., who oper-
ate extensive steamship services between
this port and the affected districts In Ger
many, 1t was said this morning that while
there was no indication of a strike here as
yet, such step on the part Of the dock
workers here was not an improbable one,
although the men here are not very well
organized.
Organization of the dock laborers has
recently been strongly advocated by James
McHugh, the Liverpool dock laborer's del
egate to this country. He has been hard
at work on the Atlantic coast and great
lake cities for the last two or three months,
agitating the cooperation of American
longshoremen and dock laborers with the
various marine trades organizations In
Europe. In the light Of events, his visit is
now thought to be significant.

Norfolk, Va, Nov 23-The activity in
mounting new guns and making other i'm
provements at Fort Monroe has excited
great interest, in view of war rumors now
prevalent. Col. Royal T. Frank, COM
mandant of Fort Monroe, in an interview
to-day disclatms any knowledge that
these improvements indicate trouble with
Spain, and declares without foundation
the report that he has been ordered to
have the fort in readiness for defense by
Dec. 1. By that date, however, the new
battery of three 10-inch disappearing ri
f1es will have been completed, and a month
later, by order of Secretary Lamont. one
OF the most formidable mortar batteries
on the coast, consisting of sixteen NOR
tars, mounted in groups of four behind
monerete bomb-proof emplacements, will
also have been completed. This will make
this fort modern in all respects, and prac-
tically impregnable to any such fleet as
Spain might bring against it in the event
of war with that country. While the stone
wall of the old fort might be demolished
by continuous and prolonged cannonad-
ing, the new heavy guns could destroy a
fleet before this could be DONE He be-
heves the fort could hold its own and sue
cessfuily contest the passage of Hampton
Roads by foreign enemy.
Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 23.LThe minister of
marine was advised to-day that the
steamer Bermuda, the suspected filibus-
ter, was reported to be at Halifax taking
in arms and ammunition for Cuba The
report is said to have come through the
Spanish consul. The Canadian govern
ment have always investigated such re-
ports when they have reached here, but
they have generally turned out to be
groundess.

Licking Postage Stamps,

Licking postage stamps is a very
' common practice and one that but
few people would associate with dan
ger of disease Of any sort. OF course
illness traceable to this cause is rare,
but that it does sometimes occur no
one can doubt. But, as do from the
disease germ theory Of abstaining
from this practice, it certainly is not
a cleanly habit, nor is it necessary
action. 1t is a good deal easier and
safer to lick the envelope or, what is
better, moisten the corner of it with
the finger tips and water and then
apply the stamp. A wet handkerchief
will dampen the envelope sufficiently
to make the stamp adhere. While
great care is taken in the preparation
of the mucilage that is put upon post
age stamps, it is impossible to insure
the perfect health of the persons who
handle them. An employee with an
inoculable disease might spread his
i'll condition through a whole country.
1t may not be necessary to warn every
one, but those who have never had
their attention called to the subject
will not fail, upon a moments reflec-
ton, to see the folly of licking postage
stamps.-Ne7o York Ledger.

Maoeo and the Cuban Cause.

In the death of Antonio Maceo the
insurgent Cubans have lost their most
active and brilliant leader and II
may be that in losing him they have
| also lost their cause. Whether we
applaud or condemn his tireless efforts
to free his native island from the rule
of Spain, all, we think, will agree that
this soldier of mixed blood fought with
courage and handled his troops with
skill. He inspired his raw levies with
confidence, and secured their warm
attachment as well. 1t is a touching
tribute to his memory that young
Gomez preferred to die rather than to
abandon his dead General.
"The coward and the hero must
perish alike;" but Honor crowns the
one with her immortal wreath and
blghts the other with shame and con-
tempt. We cannot often know the
real motives that actuate human con-
duct but so far as Maceo's career is
concerned we may conclude that
the freedom of Cuba was the cause
which impelled him to take the field,
and the cause for which he died. This
second revolutionary struggle, though
it may prove failure for the present,
will, it would seem, make Spain's hold
upon her favorite island tor any great
length Of time impossible. The Gu
bans may yield to force but they will
not be satisfied. They will watch their
opportunities; they will recuperate
their strength. Meanwhile, Spain, i'm
poverlshed by the struggle, cannot
well diminish her exactions, nor in
the face of a hostile population re
duce her ornaments, nor to any great
extent change her policy.
In our civil war the way to recon-
citation at its close was comparative
ly easy. 1t was simply to remit the
revolted States, with such changes as
the war had made necessary in their
several Constitutions, to their old sys-
TEN of self-government. The hand
of the Federal Government was with
drawn, and the State Governments,
without exterior pressure or control,
resumed their former powers and
functions. But Cuba has been a sub
Ject province, with certain local rights
and privileges and if the Cubans
should lay down their arms they
would not go back to an accustomed
state of selt-government, but to Spanish
rule, which they hate, and which they
have sought to throw off. This would
make peace, and the conditions Of
peace, more difficult both for the
Spaniards and the Cubans. We con.
clude that if the Cubans should now
succumb the day would not be far
distant when Spain would be COM
PEELED to withdraw from the island

BASE BALL NOTES,

We wonder how the Philliesn will
finish next season, they play such a
peculiar game, it is very hard to tell
how far up the ladder the close of the
season will find them, but we know,
this, that if they play In 81 like they
did in '96, one of the other clubs will
be cheated out of last place.
Washington cranks do not like the
arrangement made at the recent league
meeting, of beginning the season one
week later, unless the Senators finish
away from home.
Manager Hanlon, of the Baltimores
is confident of winning the pennant
of 81.
The New York's will be grea,
deal stronger next year than they were
last.

Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents
during the Winter season, so many
varied attractions as the state of Flor.
ida. Besides its delightful climate
which to one escaping from the cold
and unhealthful changes of the North
seems almost ethereal, it is pre- emf
nently land of sport and pleasure.
Along its eleven hundred miles of salt
water coast and in its twelve hundred
fresh-water lakes are fish of almost
every conceivable variety, from the
migratory tribes common to Northern
waters to the tatpon, pompano, and
others of more tropical character.
Nowhere in all our broad land can
the angler find a greater variety of
game or better sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic
hunter finds safety. Deer, turkeys,
bears, panthers and wild cats roam at
large through the more sparsely set.
tied regions, while birds of all kinds
may be found in abundance through
out the state. The more novel sport
of alligator and manatee hunting may
also be INDUCED in by the more ad-
venturous tourist.
With its matchless climate, its or
ange groves, its rivers and lakes, its
fishing and hunting, and its extensive
forest, Florida presents unrlvalled at
fractions for the valetudinarlan, the
lover of nature, the sportsman, and
the explorer.
To this attractive State the Penn
sylvanla Railroad Company has ar
ranged four personally-conducted tours
during the season of 1897, leaving by
special train January go, February Q
and 20, and March 9. The first three
tours will admit of sojourn OF two
weeks in this delightful land; tickets
for the fourth tour will be valid to re.
turn until May 81 by regular trains.
Rates for the round trip, 5000
from New York, $500 from Phila-
delphia, and proportionate rates from
other points.

information, apply to ticket agents,
