WHAT DID 1T EXPECT?
London Journal Discovers That the Tariff
Bill Means Protection.

London, March 2O.-Most of the week
ly newspapers comment upon President
Mckinley's policy.
The Speaker says: THE tariff bill
shows. in at least wool and sugar, that
its prime object is protection"
Continuing. the Speaker asks If the
duties on sugar are inteded as payment
to the trusts for support during the
campaign
The Statist maintains that past de-
ficits were mainly caused by the dis
order of the currency, which led TO two
panics," adding: IF the currency is re-
stored to order, confidpece will revive
trade will improve, and the revenue will
augment. Unless the new bill greatly
differs from that of 1890, sooner or later
it will create general dissatisfaction and
VIII lead TO another tariff agitation. The
bill, if passed, will not have the results
expected by Mr.. Mckinley. If the war
alarms abate if the currency is restored
10 order, and if trade throughout the
world revives, then the United States
will share in the prosperity without a

SHOULD THEY COME TO BLOWS
Greece Would Have "A Walk Over Among
the Troops of Turkey.


New York. March 20-A copyrighted
dispatch TO the Press from Larissa, Thes-
sally, says:
"A careful, examination of the Turkish
army, made with special facilities for ac-
curacy, justiies the statement that the
men are dirty, ragged and ill-fed, and
that they are demOraliZed by the spirit
OF discomfort which such conditions in
variably create. Contrary 10 the general
belief, they are inferior to the Greeks ir
point Of unibers. The one thing which
has sustained the M0slems throughout
and made it possible for them to make
showing in the field and continue their
molestatiOn Of the Christians is that En-
peror William Of Germany has contribut-
ed to them plenty Of ammunition. This
assistance buoys them Up somewhat, as
Ii fSupposes aid in other directions

"The masses in Macedonia are desirous
Of Grecian rule and ready TO rise when
ever the signal is given. The Greeks

They are not uniformed, but they are
armed ard IN the mountain passes are
waiting for history TO have the opportu-
nifty Of repeating itself in another Their
mepylae.
while the Macedonians are eager to
strike the blow, the Turkish troops on
their way to the front are much dissatis-
fed The religious mania Of other years
does not possess them. They are ripe for
midnight butchery and the lOotirg of the
defenseless, but they are not desirous Of
battle. 1t is with difficulty that open in
surrection is suppressed, and troops that
would have been effective as marauding
bands have no relish for fighting Ever
the Imprisonment Of many Greeks as
revolution suspects gives the Turks no
courage, for every Greek in prison is an
mducement to the Greeks outside to pur-

lawlessness. Under the present conditions

BRADY OPPOSES BOB.
But Billy Brady is still on the war
path and seems determined to find some
way of making Fitzsimmons give his
late opponent one more chance before he
puts into effect his announced retirement
from business.
Brady, who came down from the
SHOWS of Nevada yesterday, accompa-
MED by kid Egan, Corbett's collie

bett made such statement a dozen
times, and yet he was draggd into the
battle by FitZsimmons. Well, now that
our man is the under dog, we propose 10
reverse matters and make the foreigner
give Jim another fight, whether he
wants to or not. OF course, Fitzsim-
mons will be able to stave this thing off
public opinion will get TOO hot for him,
and he will either have to fighto get out
ouf the country If Jim takes my advice
he will Immediately begin TO get public
sympathy 10 his side by accepting Of
fers from Maher, Goddard, Sharkey, or |
any other old dub who is after a fight. |
He can lick three or four fellows of that |
calibre in a month and then he will be |
in a position to demand satisfaction |
from Fitzsimmons. A condition exists |
in the pugilistic world at present that |
was never known TO exist before. You |
fellows may understand the newspaper |
business but you don't understand the
public's admiration for a prominent
fighter. 1 do. l have made that kind OF
work my business for about five years"
Brady is talking of taking Corbett TO
Australia and showing the antipodeans
how we'll Jim can act. He thinks the
trip will do the pugilist good and help

Miners Are Suffering Greatly
for Life's Necessities.

Plttsburg. Pa. Aug. 26.-The wives
and daughters of the striking miners at
De Armitt's Rock Hill mines, near Tur-
tie creek, took Il prominent part today
in the demonstration against the work
ing miners.
A dozen or more women gathered at
the camp early this morning with ban
ners and marched along the roads lead
ing towards the tipple.
On their way they met a number of
miners going to the pit, and they greeted
them Will yells and jeers. They derided
the miners who were working and ridi-
culed them in manner that caused
many of them to hang their heads in
shame.
The strikers claim that only fifteen
men were at work in the Oak Hill mine
today. while the company say that
sixty-hve pit cars were mined. Super
intendent s. G. De Armitt and four dep.
uty sheriffs commenced the work of
evicting the families of the Plum creek
strikers today. The work will be kept
up until the company has possession
of all their houses.
At Bunola the mine owners are grad
ually gaining on the strikers. Fourteen
men returned to work yesterday. A
large parade and meeting was held at
Turtle creek tonight without molesta-
tion from the deputies.
Before leaving the city President Do
Ian gave the details of his arrest. He
said he went before Judge McIlvaine
and was told that he had not violated
the laws and was discharged.

der on top of Pixies Peak of Herbert H..
Kay of Wisner. Neb. Edmunds gained n
great deal of notoricty during the pen
dancy of the famous insurance case of
DIR. g. W. Fraker the Excelsior Springs
physician. who mysteriously disappeared
after securing $4,000 worth of life in
'suranee policies. Edmunds was Fraker's
Office boy in Missouri and sworc on the
stand that he had seen the physician
drown. When Fraker was later found
hiding in the Minnesota woods and
brought back here for trial. EdmundS dis
appeared. He doomed up in Colorado
Springs recently again as the Office hoy
of DIR. Fraker, who, after being discharg-
ed. had gone TO that state to practice.
Edmunds. it appears, disappeared from
Kay murder. after stealing the doctor S
revolver. Now DR.. Fraker has given the
Colorado officials damaging evidence
against the boy who formerly defended
him.
When Edmunds arrived at the station
he was Immediately taken to Inspector
Halpin's room to undergo the sweating"
process. He had scarcely entered the
room when. without being questioned, he
volunteered: 81 was in Larncd, Kas., on
the 10Th"
He later insisted upon his innocence
saying that the charge of murder was
made against him by Dr. Fraker out of
spite because he had left the doctors ser.
vice. Edmunds says he was en- route to
Galveston whence he intended to go oil

the Chicago operator who created such
Il scene during the recent joint conven-

by making serious charges against Presi,
dent Ratchford. returned from Buffalo
today. When told that his charges had
created considerable excitement, and that
limitations had been thrown out that Il
libel suit might be entered against him.
Col. Rend said:
Let him sue me. I am ready to prove
what | charged, and / think it would be
Il good thing for the country if it were
proven. That st. Louis convention could
not set itself a better job than to, investi-
gate this matter. l made an offer to
DOlan to present Ratchford with the
evidence, but it was not accepted"
Speaking of the strike generally. Col
Rend declared he was certain the miners
would lose it. He anticipated that with
in the next few days new men would be
brought in to start some of the pits, but
even if this was not done and the mines
remained idle. the men would never get
such another golden opportunity as they
had recently rejected He says their
great mistake was in supposing the oper-
ators werc ready to give in because they
sought arbitration.

MEXICAN MATTERS.
No Truth In the Gold Standard Ru-

There is no truth in the report that
the gold standard plan is under CONSIDER
alton by the government. The authorl-
ties are not disposed to make haste IN
adopting any policy, and are regarding
the whole matter calmly. Meantime
business all through the country is active
and excellent crops will keep the bust
ness movement brisk all autumn.
The government will investigate the
reports regarding the alleged annexa-
ton of Clipperton island by England and
also the report that the United States
flag has been hoisted there. The depart
mcnt of foreign relations will probably
ask the departments of war and finance
to send an expedition TO the island
Mexico claims all the islands belonging
to the Revilagigedo group, and Clipper
ton island is. therefore, presumed TO be
Mexican property.
The government is not disposed to take
harsh measures with Nentre. the French
anarchist. who was banished from Bar
celOna, where it was said there was rot
sufficient proof to hold him. otherwise
he would have been shot with thc other
anarchists who were implicated in the
mountaineering. Nentrc. on leaving
Spain. went TO Havana, but found his
position there uncomfortable and came
tO Mexico.
