EDGEWOOD.
A Novice In Biking Meets With an Acci-
dent-Clam Diggers' Complaint.

A prominent resident of Burns street is
the target of cruel jokers since he figured
in bicycle smash-up Tuesday evening.
Anxious to learn to ride he borrowed a
friends wheel and straightway started
toward Broad street. Instinctively he
discovered that by going fast and by
wriggling from one side OF the street to
the other he could keep his seat. Spying
a man about To step upon the street cross
ing the wheelman called to the pedestrian
to get off of the street. Despite the
hysterical mixture OF explanatory express
sions the man afoot started across the
street. After the wheelman had been
picked up and the broken wheel, the curb
stone and the pedestrian had been ex-
amined, Ii was found that the man who
had been run down Is a Swede, with only
a few months residence and no under
standing of English, so that he did not
understand the warnings hurled Mt him
by the amateur bicyclist.
Mrs. William III. Hall entertained the
ladies of the Episcopal chapel yesterday
afternoon. A pleasant social time was
spent after which refreshments were
served.
1t is surprising to note how many of
the old clam diggers are quitting that
business Some are devoting their whole
time to fishing, while others are pushing
themselves into other vocations. A clam
digger well known as Ned" said yester-
day: "Ten years ago we got two and one

only get IS cents and 81 bushel. A

Grave Fears for the Safety
Of the Vessel.
She Left New York In jan
uary for Terra Del FuegO.
Had on Board a Number of Gold
Seekers Headed by Mr.. Ransome.

New York. May ia special from
Buenos Ayres. Argentine, says United
States Minister William l. Buchanan has
begun an investigation To find out il pos
sble what has become of the American
sailing vessel, Joseph K. Loubat, which,
IL is feared, has been lost somewhere be
tween this port 'and Terre Del Fuego.
The vessel which was commanded by
Captain L. III. Conners, and had on board
Moses Y. Ransome, a wealthy American
and several prominent young men, LEFT
this port in January on search for gold.
The Loubat il small vessel and the fact
that nothing has l,een heard from her has
given rise to the fear that she has been
lost.
Minister Buchanan has undertaken the
Investigation at the request OF the Ameri-
can relatives and friends OF the men
aboard the Loubat, who are anxious
to ascertain as much as possible regarding
tie movements Of the vessel since she
was last seen.
Mr.. Ransome is man of considerable
wealth and Is close personal friend OF
Senator Mark Hanna, OF Ohio. With him
on board the. e.Loubat were Charles Ran
some his son; Kirk Gardner, son OF
former Mayor Gardner of Cleveland =,
Douglas Perkins, Jr., son Of n capitalist
ot Cleveland; Walter Powers and W. II.
Huntington, engineers; William'H. Har-
a
just before the vessel left New York,
Mr. Ransome stated that his destination
was Sluggard's Is Bay, Terra Del Fuego. He
knew, he said, that gold was abundant
in that vicinity and with an invention
he had recently perfected and which he
carried along, he hoped to realize fortune
for himself and his comrades. His
machine was for the purpose of.separatng
gold from sand and he said the place he
had selected for his operations would
prove not only the efficiency of his inven-
ton, but would yield fortune Mr. Ran
some is sixty years old and has been
prominent in Cleveland and New York for
several years in commercial circles. The
firm of e. 5. Ransome & Company of
which he is a member has its principal
office I'm Cleveland and n branch office in
this city, at No. 6, West Fifteenth street
The firm does furniture business.
After leaving this port the Loubat pro-
ceeded TO Buenos Ayres having eesy
weather for most Of the voyage. She
reached there in January and remained q
few days, after which she sailed direct for
Terra Del Fuego.
since that time the vessel has been
heard of only once when she was spoken
I'm February in latitude ~. 80 south, and
longitude 66 west abont two hundred
miles from Terra Del Fuego. 1t is not
known on what day she was spoken
When the Loubat sailed from this port
she had on board q years provisions 1t
Is presumed that she revlctualed at
Bvenos Ayres before proceeding TO her
destination. There Is little communion
tion between Terra Del FueRo and New
York and q letter from there in the orGi-
nary course of events would be long
time in reaching this country. Tho

M'KINLEY MEETS GOMPERS.
Interesting Conversation About La
Dor Unions

New York June pa Washington
dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser
saws:
L regard the organization of labor
as the natural and legitimate effort to
secure its rights said President Nc
Kinley today.
This strong declaration in favor of
organized labor was made in the course
of a conversation with Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, and Frank Morrison,
the secretary Of the organization.
Mr.. Gompers and Mr. Morrison came
to the White House about 4 o'clock.
They were admitted at once and the
discussion became so interesting that
the president neglected his drive. For
an hour labor interests and labor legis-
lation were discussed in all their varied
phases. The anti-pooling bill to re-
strain operation of pools and the trusts
cause labor people some anxiety. Pres
ident GomperS explained that the labor
organizations were afraid that thew
themselves would be classed as trusts
and the penalties Of the act applied to
them rather than to the large combina-
tions usually known as trusts. He
thought an amendment should be made
specifically exempting labor unions.
President Mckinley agreed with him
that labor unions should be protected
and spoke of a measure in which he
had taken an interest in former years.
He did, however, seem to think there
was much danger of their being classed
as trusts or subjected TO penalties.
Unless you believe as some people
do" said Mr.. GoEnpers, that labor
unions are an evil, l think you will
agree with me that their existence
should not be endangered by this bill
I do not desire to be classed with
those who consider trade unions an
evil" said President Mckinley, and he
finished the sentence with the words
quoted at the beginning of this dis
patch.
