AN OPINION BY SHERMAN.
Strike of Miners Cannot Be Practically
Settled BY Legislation.

Strike of Miners Cannot Be Practically
Settled BY Legislation.
WASHINGTON, July I'm speaking of
the miners strike, Secretary of State
Sherman says that solution of these
problems must be found by the employ
ers and those in their service. They
must adjust their differences in their
own way, and to their own satisfaction.
Outside suggestions and interference
would be resented. For this reason, he
does not believe that any general plan
of arbitration for the adjudication of
labor troubles, as proposed by pending
congressional legislation, would be ac-
ceptable to either of the parties, or
could be made effective in practical ap-
pication. The theory is good, he said,
but the execution would be difficult, if
not impossible. Arbitration provided
by law would be on the same principle
as leading horse TO water. The water
can be provided and the animal taken
to it, but cannot be compelled to drink.

RATCHFORD IS PLEASED.
Satisfactory Progress in the Strike of the
Miners Is Reported.

Satisfactory Progress in the Strike of the
Miners Is Reported.
COLUMBUS. O., July President
Ratchford of the United Mine Workers
is greatly pleased with the progress of
the present strike and regards the out
look as exceedingly bright. An en-
couraging report was received from the
Pittsburg district which stated that
with the exception of the mine Of the
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal COM
pany and one or two mines where the
miners are under contract, all were out.
1t is said that District President
Dolan of the Pittsburg districts expects
the miners employed by the New York
and Cleveland Coal company to join the
suspension in day or two. tits thought
that when the miners of the above COM
pany quit work it will have the effect of
bringing miners of the other one or two
mines out regardless Of contracts which
they may be under. This will make the
suspension complete in the Pittsburg
district.
The Pittsburg district is the only one
that report has yet been received from
at the National headquarters in this
city. Nothing had been heard from
West Virginia by the national officers,
but report was expected from that
section some time during the day.

NO SUGAR BOUNTY
Republican Senatorial Caucus
Postpones the Matter Until
December.
It Will Then Be Taken Up and
Pushed as a Separate
Measure.
Senator Allen Will Press His
Amendment, but Will Not
Filibuster.

WASHINGTON, July THE RepubE-
again present beet sugar bounty
amendment to the tariff bill, and Sena-
tor Allison was authorized to move to
have the amendment offered by Senator
Allen tabled. There was also general
agreement to take up the Thurston beet
sugar bounty bill as an independent
measure the first thing after congress
meets next December.
The discussion in the caucus bore
entirely upon the question of policy in
postponing the bounty matter, land there
were several brief speeches bearing
upon both sides Of the suggestion that
it should go over. Senator Aldrich was
the first to make general outline of the
course which was ultimately agreed
upon, including the postponement Of
the entire question until next December,
Senator Foraker suggested that the
entire question should be left open, leav-
ing each Republican senator to cast his
vote in the senate as he should choose,
independent of party affiliations, but did
not press the motion.
Senators Thurston, Perkins, Gear
and other Western senators held out
quite stifay for the incorporation of the
bounty provision in the tariff bill, but
when the decision was made against
them, acquiesced in it gracefully.
When Senator Allen was informed of
the result of the Republican caucus he

Eleventh Annual Reunion Being Held at
Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS, July 7.-The 1Ith an
nual reunion and grand lodge session of
the Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks is now fairly on. 1t has been a
busy day for the local contingency.
Delegations have been arriving steadily
through the entire day. The reception
committee, accompanied by band,
greeted the various delegations and
gave them escort to their headquarters.
The number already registered is not as
large as expected but many trains are
delayed. The grand lodge session opens
in the morning and the chief interest
connected with the meeting centers in
the election of officers. 1t is thought
Meade D. Detweiler will succeed him

Heavy Rains Have Greatly Swollen Min
nesota Streams.
LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, July THE
heavy rains of the last few days have
almost flooded this section of the coun-
try. Every small stream is more than
bank full, and the Mississippi is at a
very high stage. In the eastern part of
the county, and especially along the
Platte river, great damage has been
done to bridges and dams. 1t is re-
ported that two dams on the upper
Platte river has been taken out, and the
Gravelville and Royalton dams and
bridges are in a precarious condition.
The boom company stopped sorting logs
at this place, as it was feared that in
moving the jam with the present stage
of water it might do great harm to the
boom works.

FOR ARBITRATION

by Sherman.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 7.-The Indiana
labor commission sent letters to the
labor commissions of Ohio, Pennsylva-
MIA and Illinois inviting them to meet
with the Indiana commission in this
city at as early date as possible to con-
slider the possibilities of arbitrating the

commissions of the four states meet, the
coal operators will be asked to meet
with then, in an endeavor to terminate
the strike before it is far underway.

Just as no man by taking

Just as a desert will blossom,

AS all things have been given us by

People are rather conservative in
matters of change, especially regarding
food, looking back upon what their
grandmothers did and upon what they
lived, forgetting that their grand
mothers were much more active in do

obliged to take such food as they had at

more upon bread than the middle or
