A Wide Awake Woman.

Mrs. Mary A. Cookery, who has been
chosen president of the newly organ
lied Irish Womans club of Chicago, is
splendid representative of the wide
awake woman Of the day Not only is she
well known clubwoman, having been
presiding officer OF the National Catho-
lie Woman's league, but she is clever
as woman of business. She Is widely
known in the workaday world as the
president of the Chicago and Indiana
Coal company, an immense concern
that handles large contracts in Chica-
go. Like many a woman OF a practical
turn OF mind who has become widowed.
Mrs. Cookery assumed her husbands
business affairs at the time of his death
four years ago and has since superln-
tended 1t with success. Almost every
day she spends a part of her time at
the big offices on South Canal street.
where she has not only held her own
commercially, but with clear headed
management has greatly increased the
business. Between times of assuming
this unusual role Mrs. Cookery finds
diversion in the philanthropies of club
life and the pink teas of society She
is good looking woman of dignified
bearing.
Inspired by the recent visit Of the
young Irish girl, Maud Come, Mrs.
Cookery is anxious in this new organi-
cation to build up the interests of the
women of Irish birth and descent who
reside in Chicago. One of the special
plans in prospect is the commemoration
of 1898, the year of Ireland's strife. The
literature of that land will be regularly
studied, and whatever pertains to the
betterment of that people. particularly
the working women, will be undertaken
by these fair patriots of Ireland.

ANOTHER TRUST FORMED.
Combination of the Largest Buyers

CHICAGO. Feb. 25.--One of the largest
trusts formed in years has been organized
by Chicago men under the name of the
American Hay Company Although the i'm
corporation is under Michigan laws. the
headquarters will be in this city. The or
ganization, when complete. win include
more than a hundred OF the largest buyers
and shippers of hay in the States of Illi-
nois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. The
capital stock is $780, 900. a tract of land
near Buffalo is to be purchased as a site
for an immense warehouse. Buffalo is Sc
lected as the place for the warehouse be-
cause the bulk of the hay to be handled
will be marketed in New England. w. w.

THE SITUATION SERIOUS.

Notwithstanding the extreme reticence
maintained by the naval court of inquiry
and the government authorities regarding
the Maine disaster there are indications
that very important disclosures are impend-
ing. The Journal has information through
private channels that the accident theory
has been entirely abandoned in Washington
and it is universally believed there that the
ship was destroyed by treacnery. Naval
officers of high rank who at first openly adj
vocated the accident theory now as openly
avow the other. 1t is believed that positive
evidence to this effect exists in Washington
and that the government is shaping its
course accordingly. Under these circum-
stances a great responsibility rests on the
administration, and especially on the Presi-
dent as it's head. While Congress alone
can formally declare war. the President can
take such steps as will be tantamount to
the beginning OF war and will make for
NAL declaration necessary. The facts now
in his possession and soon to be embodied
in the finding Of the naval court may be
such as to justify one of two courses, viz,
either demand upon Spain for a large in
6emnity accompanied with an ultimatum
which will admit of no delay or the send
ing of fleet to Havana with ccders to
invest and capture the city. Either - these
acts would be equivalent to decls son
of war, assuming, of course. that siii
would reject the ultimatum. If the iresi-
dent should decide upon either coarse it
will be upon evidence satisfactory to him
that 1t is justified by the circumstance.
and no doubt his action wc4i.. be promptly
ratified by Congress and approved by the
people. Under the circumstances it is i'm
portant that the government should pre-
serve the utmost secrecy regarding its in
tentions and make the needful preparations
for vigorous action, so that when it moves
it may move effectively. A dispatch from
Madrid says that in view of the probability
Of war there is a strong popular demand
there for Spain to take the initiative. 1t is
not likely the United States will be caught
mapping in that fashion after the recent
experience in Havana harbor.

The Maine Representative Attacked in
the HOuse hY Mr.. MOndY


WASHINGTON, Feb. ga long and
somewhat exciting debate over the ques-
ton of river and harbor appropriations was
precipitated in the House to-day during
consideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill. 1t was practically agreed by
all those who participated that there would
be no river and harbor bill at this session
of Congress and this led Mr. Moody to
attack the contract items carried in the
sundry civil bill. He selected an appropria-
ton of $S50O00 for Rockland, Me-, which is
in Mr.. Dingley's district, and his remarks
in denunciation of what he termed favorit-
ism approached the nsational. He said he
was willing to submit to economy and to
honest leadership, but for one he proposed
to rebel against the leadership that gave
an appropriation to Rockland. an insigniii-
cant port that could be buried in Boston
harbor.
Mr.. Grosvenor attacked the appropria-
ton and declared that if the House allowed
these river and harbor items to go into the
sundry civil bill there would be no river
and harbor BILL He was amazed he said.
at the action of the appropriation commit
tee and insisted that all the members
should be on an equality.
Mr.. Cannon replied to the attack, declar-
ing that some of the most vicious river and
harbor items ever reported came from the
committee when he (Grosvenor) was
member Of it. He said that from % to SO
per cent. of the money appropriated by
bill he helped to report had been worse
than thrown away
Mr.. Dingley answered the personal attack
made upon him. The Rockland improve
ment he said, was not simply an improve
ment; 1t included provision for a break
water and harbor of refuge-just such
another as was being built at Sandy bay,
in Mr.. Moody's district and on which $780,
600 had been spent He Indignantly repud-
lated the intimation that he had ever sug-
gested or intimated that this appropriation
should be made in this bill. He presumed
it had been made upon the recommends
tiOns of the corps of engineers in the public
interest.
Mr.. Catchings defended the action Of the
appropriation committee.
1t was intimated that there was plan
to defeat all the items in the bill, so as
to force consideration of a general river
and harbor BILL but this intimation was not
borne out by the vote on the amendment,
upon which the debate rested Mr. Berry,
Of Kentucky. succeeded in securing the
adoption of an amendment increasing the
appropriation for the Kentucky river from
SlO5 OO0 to $4,000. Only four pages OF the
bill were disposed Of to-day. The Senate

EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY.

The commissioner of the New York State
Bureau of Labor Statistics has made a re-
port for 1897 which contains some matters
of general interest in regard to the wages
of organized labor during the past three
quarters of that year. These statistics have
an unusual significance because they are
derived from the quarterly reports of the
labor unions themselves.
The first quarterly report, made March 81,
1897, showed that 1851 of 1850 union men
were idle. That is 80 per cent. of the union
workmen in New York were not employed
Moreover, during the first quarter the men
averaged fifty-eight days work. The aver
age wages of men for the quarter was
$l55.06 and $S5.63 for women.
During the second quarter, which ended
June 30, the membership of the unions had
increased to Isl. 206, while the number of
unemployed had fallen to 27,37S. This means
that during the second quarter the number
of union workmen that had no employment
was little over IS per cent. of the MEM
bership During that quarter the men
worked an average of sixty-six days and
earned an average of $159.12 and the women
$3.50.
During the last quarter reported by the
labor organizations, that which ended Oct.
81, the membership of the unions had in
creased to 167, 154 and the unemployed had
fallen to 1920, which is a little over 1914 per
cent. of the whole number. The workers
had sixty-nine days employment and the
average compensation was s174.40 for the
men and $3.50 for women.
The foregoing figures are based upon
the reports of the state officers of the labor
unions of New York, and therefore are not
open to an nsnuation that they have been
prepared for the purpose of supporting any
partisan claim. Upon the showing of the
labor unions their unemployed have fallen
from 80 per cent, March 81 to a little over
1874 per cent, Oct. 81, while wages We're in
creased from $155.O6 during the first quarter
to $l744O during the third for men and from
SS5.6S to So. 80 for women.
No figures could be presented which more
conclusively show the gradual growth
of prosperity than these furnished by the
officers of the labor unions of New York
