Th0usnn nsls Out of Work.

PEORIA, ILL.,. July 16-The mirers of tho
Peoria district have voted una nimously to
join the strike. Vice President Hunter OF

AT THE FEET OF LIBERTY,
Painters ON the Highest Point of IL
Capitol Dome.

Painters On the Highest Point of the
Capitol Dome.
Two tiny specks moving around the base
OF the Goddess of Liberty surmounting the
dome of the Capitol aroused the curiosity
OF visitors approaching the Capitol this
morning. Upon drawing nearer it could
be seen that the specks were the figures of
two men, who seemed to be clinging to the
goddess as a fly sticks upon a window
pane They were apparently standing
upon nothing. and their figures were
dwarfed by the immense height of their
position and by comparison with the tow
er1ng bronze statue above them.
Ihey had attained their place by means
OF ladder, reaching from the topmost
gallery of the dome to the feet of the god
dess and were walking upon a narrow
ledge The men are engaged in painting
the iron pedestal of the statue, and after
ward will paint the tholus OF the dome.

NOT GIVEN BELIEF
The Stories of an Alliance Between
Japan and Spain.
WHY THEY ARE Sent FROM LONDON
Possibly Caused by the Bering Sea
Dispute.
A T j APA Ms LEG ALTON

The scare dispatches from London about
alliance between Japan and Spain
against the United States are not credi ed
at the Capitol This is not because there
is any doubt felt of the iil-wili entertained
by those two countries toward the United
States. hut because the situation has not
so developed as to make such alliance
probable. Moreover, il is not REGARDED
as at all likely that Japan would burden
herself With such en- alliance. The opinion
is that an alliance with Spain would weak
en- japan If she were to have trouble with
this country.
Ii is clear enough that Japan is ready to
do anything practicable to prevent the
nexation of Hawaii. ard Il dilatory policy
the part of this country ii respect TO an
nexation nigh; render the situation grave
hut if Japan assumes an aggressive policy
1t will he with the sympathy of stronger
powers than Spain.
iiosSiblc Explanation.
Ii is thought that the London dispatches
are inspired by spirit of resentment ot
the I:ering sea correspondence.
The dispatches are a sort of reminder to
this country that we may be menaced by-
other countries, and that therefore,
cannot afford to he otherwise than anita
Ile toward Great Britain. 1t is in the ma
ture of a notice that had better ap-
F1oach the Boring question in a spirit
OF accommodation. As to immediate
suits. i, is likely that bluster of this
viii serve to hasten action the Ha-
uai!aH treaty.
Ii il appears that there is any probabi
ity Of lcpnn's going far as to attempt
70 get possession of Hawaii or of incitn;,
