labor Troubles in England.
from the london World.


In our last issue We appealed to the rep
resentatives of employers and employed i'm
the engineering trade TO meet round table
and reason together with a determination
to find a way out of the present conflict
without strike lockout. Superfuous to
add that no step has been taken I'm that
direction. They prefer TO fight il out
until many firms have been ruined, war
chests emptied, trade driven to foreign
lands and until the forces on both sides
are exhausted and thousands are face to
face with starvation. We repeat. the bel
ligerent forces prefer this. 1t is the re-
verse of complimentary to add that they
firmly believe and openly declare that an
occasional fight is necessary. and that
satisfactory peace for any length of time
is unattainable until after this process of
exhaustion.
The same argument was used before the
outbreak of the Franco-German war. But
that war was the outcome of vanity and
tyranny. For nearly a hundred years We
have been able to settle questions of in
fiaitely greater Importance than the mar
riage of princess-disputes between our
selves and the United States-without war.
until now the idea of a war between our
selves and the republic is laughed at on
both sides of the Atlantic. And if the re-
sponsible persons at the head Of the Mas
ters' Federation and the unions of the men
would but search themselves. they would
find that vanity has undue influence in
keeping them apart, i'm allowing a great
industry to be parayzed, and i'm causing
untold misery i'm the great engineering
trade and cognate industries.

Unrest I'm India.

Major ]. G. Pangborn, an American
who has devoted much time to the study
of railroad problems and the railroad situ-
alton in Asia, is now in Baltimore visiting
friends. In the course of a recent CONVEX
sation he said that the industrial and po-
htical condition of India was a cause for
grave apprehension. and he expressed the
opinion that the trouble and discomfort
there were due much more to economic
causes than to those come tied with the
local government or with religious hatreds

TEST NOT SATISFACTORY
The Experiment With Virus From the Bod,
Of Young Springman.
Rabbits Iaecaiated Died, but Net Of
Rabies-AnOther Trial Made
DIR. SalmOn's Belief.

The scientists in the bureau of animal
industry of the Department of Agriculture
are afraid that they will obtain no direct
results from their experiments on rabbits
with the virus from the body of young
Springman. who was alleged to have died
OF hydrophobia about five or six weeks ago.
1t will be remembered that about twenty
four hours after the death Of young
Springman a piece of his spinal column
wss obtained for the purpose Of making
virus for inoculating rabbits to accurately
determine whether the young man had
really died from the effects of rabies. The
experiment was one which was looked
upon with great interest by scientists who
had knowledge that 1t was to be made.
The Rabbits Dead.
Immediately after the virus was made
three rabbits were inoculated, and their
symptoms were noticed from the very be-
ginning. 1t is learned today that the three
rabbits died, but DR.. Salmon, the head of
itively that they did not die of hydro
phobia. They died from the effects of some
disease which DR.. Salmon will not now
state, as he expects to make detailed
report on the entire case. He says he is
convinced beyond doubt that young Spring
man died of hydrophobia, but he IS any
thing but satisfied as to the first results
obtained.
The second experiment was made nine
teen days ago, when two more rabbits
were inoculated with the virus. The scien-
fists state that the results of an inocula-
ton of this kind will manifest themselves
in from sixteen to twenty-eight days. SO
far the last animals inoculated have shown
no symptoms of any kind, and are as fresh
and healthy when the virus was first
injected.
EmbalminG Fluid Intcrfered.
Those making the experiment are now
afraid that the emba lining of young Spring
man prevented their obtaining virus Of a
satisfactory nature. They will speak of
this matter in the report to be made. The
embalming fluid as is well known, fire.
quently destroys even the symptoms of
poisoning. Young Springman was embalm-
ed about twenty-four hours before the piece
of spinal column was taken from him.
So soon as it is demonstrated that The
rabbits have been affected or not, ms the
case may be, DIR. Salmon will write report
which will deal fully and in detail with
the whole experiment. and his report Will
be of great scientific, as well as general. in
terest.

TO KEEP OUT THE CHINESE.
Instructions for Better Enforcing the
Exclusion Law.

The Secretary of the Treasury and the
Attorney General have prepared circular
of instructions for the better enforcement
of the Chinese exclusion laws. 1t will be
issued this afternoon. 1t is directly chiefly
against the violations of the laws on the
Canadian borders, and makes one radical
change in the existing system.
Heretofore Chinese laborers have found 1t
an easy matter to evade the law by enter
ing the country in that way. When ar
rested on suspicion they were taken before
United States commissioners at the port
of first arrival and usually had no trouble
in satisfying the examining officer. eener-
ally through perjured testimony, Of their
right to admission.
Under the rule now laid down all such
Cinnamon will be taken to the place where
they claim to have prior residence and
examined there. and unless their state
ments are substantial ted they will be de-
ported to China. 1t is expected that the
new plan will minimize the possibilities of
collision for the evasion Of the exclusion
law.

Various 0ffenses.
Numerous Recent Losses by Mer.
Disclosures to the Officers.

Policeman Tom McNamee of the sixth
precinct has made two arrests which are
of considerable Importance to merchants.
because of the number of robberies they
have suffered from, as well as the number
of thefts the arrest of the prisoners will
no doubt prevent in the near future. In
addition to these arrests Precinct Detective
Hartigan obtained information which re-
suited in the capture of three other sus
poets, and the five prisoners are now lock-
ed up at the sixth precinct station. where
they will be held until their systematic rob-
berries can be further Investigated.
The policeman found two boys, Ellis
Kane. white, and Frank Williams, colored
on It'll street under suspicious circum-
stances, and he locked them up. They are
each about eighteen years old. When he
mad them in custody, he learned that they
had robbed Tennllle's clothing store on 18th
street, and the three suits OF clothes 1hey
had taken had been hidden in a stable in
rear of No. 1913 G street northwest In ad-
d1tlon to these clothes, the boys had lifted
themselves out in choicest undergarments.
Ihey were arrested between and Z
o o'clock. and soon after being locked up
they told Policeman McNamee of their mis-
deeds.
Landed Three Others
Precinct Detective Hartigan took a hand
IN the case and soon had three more per-
sons under arrest--Wm Brennan, white,
eighteen years old; James Clanty colored,
the same age, and Wallace Maurer white
three years younger When the five pris-
oners had been landed behind the bars
they became laxative and told of the diff
ferent cases in which they had figured dur
ing recent months
According to statements made by the
prisoners, they were all concerned in the
robbery early yesterday morning, but had
no hn nfJS
boys on 18th street. Their admissions show
that they have been in the work for some
months, and have robbed at least seven
places of business. Ford's lunch room cor
ner OF 9TH and F streets: Ford & Grahams
lunch room, on 18th street and the Log
Cabin lunch room, on + street were among
the places robbed by the crowd.
