All Want to Hear Debs.

WHEELING, w. Va, July 19.-Just
why it is so may be mystery to some,
but it is n fact, nevertheless, that Eu-
gene V. Debs will be able 10 do more
just now toward bringing out the
miners in the Paramount region than
any other man.
A big meeting at Monongah dem
onstrated this when a local miner got
up and declared that as soon
rs Debs came into the region
the men would strike, and that his
influence would be greater than
all the offers of the operators to pay
bonuses on coal mined. The sentiment
was loudly cheered The organizers
at work here admit that he must be
brought into the field and It was an
nounced that he will be at Paramount
on Thursday. Everybody wants to
hear Debs.
The operators expect all Fairmount
to be out at the end of the week or
sooner They threaten to close their
coke ovens and put the negroes and
Italians into the mines, and this means
positive trouble and possibly blood
shed.

Andree, the aeronaut, assembled in his
balloon on Sunday afternoon at $780,
The ascent was made under favora-
BILE circumstances. The wind was
good and all was well
AS the wind conditions were more
favorable on Sunday morning than
they had previously been, the order
was given that the start should be
made as quickly as possible. The prep
arations occupied three and one-half
hours. The balloon, which was chris
tened the Eagle, made a successful as
cent, amid the shouts and cheers Of
the crowd, which had gathered to
witness its departure. Despite the
lightness of the wind, the balloon rose
rapidly until an altitude of about 600
feet had been attained, when it was
forced down nearly to the surface Of
the sea. After few sandbags had
been thrown out, however, it again
assembled. The weather was clear and
the Eagle was visible for an hour,
travelling in north-northeasterly di-
rection. When last seen it was NOV

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 19,--President
Ratchford to-day summed up the
strike situation in an interview as fol-
lows:
1--WE have started into this move
ment realizing fully the Importance of
the work before us and the RESPONSE
bility resting upon us, and after two
weeks of suspension, involving more
than $50, 900 miners, we are we'll salts
fed with the results. Only those who
are best acquainted with the condi-
ton of the miners have any idea of
the extent of the suspension and its
paralyzing effects upon the labor and
business of the country. 1t has not
yet reached its full proportions. The
coming week will add 10000 men to
the idle column. The week following
will bring greater accessions to our
ranks. The movement will continue
to grow, not only from the point of
number involved, but public opinion
will become crystallized more fully
and through the press of the country
will demand solution of this great
difficulty"

A recent writer notes that "a good
orchard" is one of the most important
and attractive Improvements offered by
one who has "a farm for sale" A ru-
raj nonagenarlan, now dead for nearly
half century, made 1t a part Of his
chief industry to persuade his neigh
bcrs to start nurseries Of future or
chards by saving and planting fruit
seeds. A blessing has been pronounced
on the man who plants tree, in the
generous hope that others will eat its
fruit or sit in its shade. What a
mighty debt we, who are "helrs of all
the ages" owe to those who have come
and gone before us! Oddly enough,
we can only pay 1t to those who are
to come and go after us.

Trusts are not regarded as illegal
combinations in Germany, as Is evil
denced by a recent decision of the SUI
preme court of the empire. Economic
considerations appear to have played
a prominent part in the deliberations
of the court, which, in its opinion, says
that it is not to the interest of the
community that inadequately low
prices should prevail in any branch of
business or industry, and points out
that attempts have been repeatedly
made by legislative bodies to bring
about higher prices for certain products
by means of protective duties. The
ground is taken that If this policy be
pursued by the legislature agreements
or combinations between manufacture
ers to prevent ruinous competition and
check the downward tendency Of prices
cannot be regarded as generally and
absolutely obnoxious to the inter 81 !
of the community.

WASHINGTON, July i5.--The Senate
was in a deadlock yesterday for
several hours, with business at a

roll calls and other parliamentary ex-

to the effort to secure action on the

that the American Sugar Refining
company has, in violation of law, Gre
nted gigantic monopoly" and the
second that said corporation, "by the
use of watered stock, by unfair COM
petition and by illegal combination
has crushed out legitimate competition
to an extent which gives it the power
to depress the price of the raw mate
rial and to advance the price of the
manufactured article at will, thus

TARIFF AGREEMENT.
IMPORTANT CHANGES ARE
MADE BY CONFEREES.
The Sugar Schedule Rearranged Fiji
teen Per Cent Duty on Hides-Tho
Tarif on Lead Ore, Lumber and
other Articles

WASHINGTON, July 10. The indica-
tons are that the tariff bill as agreed
to by tho Republican conferees prob
ably will have passed both houses of
Congress and be law at the end Of
the present week
The bill. as agreed upon, will, when
made public, present an entirely new
sugar schedule, at least in the main
item of duty on raw and refined sugar.
There is an increase in the duty on
the highest grades of sugar, bringing
the total duty on pure sugar, testing
100 degrees, up to 2 cents per pound.
This increase is attained by adding to
the Senate rate = of .Ol of cent per
pound on sugar testing even 10 de-
grees, and it is claimed that the in
crease on the higher grades which this
change insures will add immensely to
the protection to the sugar beet in
dustry.
The refners necessarily receive in
cidental benefit from the same in
crease, but for the process of refining
they get only one-eighth of a cent, as
provided by the House bill.
1t is estimated that the changes in
the sugar schedule will raise about
81 900, 900 additional revenue.
Following are among the more inn
portant changes made in other sched-
ules:
Hides, IS per cent ad volorem, in
place of the 20 per cent fixed by the
senate. The house of representatives
made strong fight to have hides re-
stored to the free list, but they were
compelled to submit to the untiring
demand of the senate.
Lead ore, II cents per pound,
Pig lead, "a cents, the Senate rates.
Iron ore as fixed by the Senate.
Coal, bituminous, 81 cents per ton.
White pine lumber was restored to
the House classification and the House
rate OF SO per 1000 feet, instead of the
Senate rate of ST.
The reciprocity clause has been
transformed into modification of
both the Senate and House schedules
that is, the number of articles which
can be used as basis for reciprocity
agreements has been increased, but
the Presidents discretion as to rates,
and the ratification of treaties by the
Senate, which was the main feature of
the Senate provision, has been re-
iected.
Another victory of the House was
the elimination of the Senate stamp
tax on bonds and stocks. 1t was de-
cided that the machinery of collection
was too cum bersome
