Each day brings different rumors as
tb the intentions of the Powers. One
Gay Russia is ready to bring the Sui
en- to his senses by setting its armies
Ia motion against Turkey, but Eng
and opposes it. The next day Eng
and is pressing for coercion, but Rus
ia insists that the time for it has not
Net come. One rumor is perhaps as
little to be trusted as the other, but
he frequency of these reports from
the various capitals of Europe is an
Indication that the question of coer-
lion is under serious consideration by
Ehe Powers.

The copper miners are evidently
making efforts to make a thorough
Showing on their part while the gold
Doom is on. They get their share of
the gold indirectly through the year
4 nd will get even more of it if their
profits continue. 1t is now estimated
5hat the 1897 output of copper in the
Pike districts will reach $4,000 tons as
against SO, 900 in last year. There is
profit on this of about 81, 900, 900, SO it
s easy to see why the Arizona people
pn their part are rejoicing over the
discovery of pretty handsome mines
It their territory.

Some 5000 tons of armor plate are
needed to complete the battleships
Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin. The
Bethlehem and Carnegie Companies,
which alone can manufacture these
Hplates, viii not accept less than S425
H. ton; the Senate refuses to pay more
than $500 ton, and the House con-
ours. This brings the work to a
DstandstilI, and, moreover, makes the
government liable to heavy penalties
Dfor delaying the builders of the hulls
v of these ships, part of whose con-
tract it is to aff1x the plates. Sena
tors have threatened to build a gov
Sernment plant if their ultimatum is
refused, but this would take at least
year and be very costly. The Beth
Eehem plant is worth about 81, 900, 900,
hnd it costs from 10 to 10 per cent. of
It's value annually to keep it up. 1t
certainly would be more economical
and satisfactory all around to accept
the terms of the companies. Their
minimum is s12 cheaper per ton than
Ehe price previously paid.

TO this end party of Esquimaux. will

WHO ARE THE JINGOES?

Whenever the United States gov
question which might involve us in
trouble with some foreign power there
are a certain class of newspapers
and people ready to condemn the
policy and call the people carrying it
out, jingoes, This class of people
should learn a lesson from reading
the account of the way England lib
Grated one Of her citizens illegally
thrown into prison by the Spanish au-
thorities in Cuba. The English con-
sui, Immediately upon learning that
an English subject was being kept in
prison and denied the privilege of
trial, sent word to the British
home government and asked what to
DO. He was told to demand the
immediate release of the man and as
sured that if the Spanish authorities
did not respect his demands, steps
would be made to force them to do
SO; as result of this the man was
released and the Spanish government
will be obliged to pay for imprisoning
him. An Englishman can go into the
most remote corner of the earth and
feel that as long as he violates no
laws he will be protected by his gov
ernment. The English flag is respected
everywhere. If the indignities which
have been heaped upon American cit
liens in Cuba had been perpetrated
upon Englishmen, an English fleet
would have been in Cuban waters
long ago and Spain would have been
called to account in manner which
she would have understood. The let
ter sent by Sec. Sherman to Lord
Salisbury, relating to the Behring Sea
seal regulations is thought by some
to be couched in too strong language,
but it is receiving attentions which
no other communication on the sub
ject has received. A strong deter
mined policy on the part of this gov
ernment may bring forth some growls
from foreign countries but it will not
involve us in war any more than that
policy involves England in war. The
S0uulIIS OI o. WAX VESSEL 10 a foreign
country to force them to respect Eng
Hsh rights costs the government some
thing but it does not bring on a war,
and as long as we demand only what
is right we need not fear that we will
be involved in trouble. These same
people who are bowling because the
government is taking hold of these
questions in determined manner
would expect that if their property
were to be destroyed, or their rights
trampled on by any foreign power,
that the government would demand
immediate reparation, and if necessa-
ry follow their demands by a show
of force, but as long as they them
selves are undisturbed they appar-
entity think that the government |
should not attempt to force repara-
ton for injuries to others. This feel
ing is wrong. It is not to be expected
that the people Of the country will all
agree on political questions, but when
the government is seeking to get rep
aration for injuries to American citi-
zens the people should support it as
one man.

Even in the face of the great coal
strike, general trade conditions con-
tinue to be relatively favorable.
Bank clearings for the past week
reached total OF 81 ,O32 900, 900, de-
crease, it is true, of 3.6 per cent. as
compared with the week before, but
a gain Of 8 per cent. as compared with
the second week in July Of last year.
Crop outlooks are favorable, and the
large export trade in wheat and short
available supply have led to a
strengthening in price in that i'm
portant staple. On the other hand,
pork, lard, petroleum, oats and In
dian corn are weaker. Coffee and
sugar hold their own. Iron and steel,
after brief period of activity, have
dropped off again, but the enactment
of the tariff is confidently looked to
to bring an Improvement.

A railroad deal is announced which
may mean that the New York Cen
Jral road will soon be represented in
Vermont territory. 1t is stated on
high authority, according to the
New York Mail and Erpress, that the
control of the New York, Susque
hanna and Western railroad has
practically passed into the hands Of
interests which represent Wander
bilt capital. 1t is said that the Sus
quehanna road will ultimately be in
corporated into the Delaware & Hud
son system, and that the latter has
undergone a recent change of owner
ship which points to a final assump
ton of all it's obligations under lease
to the New York Central Railroad
company. All the details of the
transfer have not been completed,
but it is understood that sufficient
progress has been made to justify the
prediction of an early official an
nouncement.-Ff Press.

The strike of engineers at London
is apparently to be a long, fierce
struggle, both masters and men hav-
ing resisted all offers of arbitration.
The lock out began last week. AS a
retaliatory measure the engineers are
calling out the remainder of the men
and no fewer than 900 engineers
are idle. Already the yards of sew
eral large firms have been picketed.
The London firms that have joined in
the lockout now number forty.
Among them are the Otis Elevator
Company, the Westinghouse Brake
Company, Frazer & Chalmers, and
Brush Electric Engineering Company.

There is some talk ofan alliance be-
tween Spain and Japan by which they
are to act in concert in case the Uni
ted States should take any decisive
action on the Cuban question, Or at
tempt to carry out their policy of an
nexing Hawaii. Although Spain
might welcome a war with the United
States as an outlet to the box she is
now in, it is not likely that Japan
cares for war with this country.
She recognizes our right to the
Hawaiian Islands and will not at
tempt to obstruct our acquiring them.
She is of course anxious that her
citizens shall have the same privi-
lege there after annexation as before
but there is not much chance that
she will attempt to do anything be-
yond the protest she has already
made.
