gram that is being made in the
effort to abandon the free
shine stands. The movement
to abolish has been received
with favor by nearly all the
business men interested, and
now, with but one exception,
the profits of the shine go to

What might be termed a
strike now exists on the part OF

package trade and no profit at
present prices for carrying lum-
Der the boatmen have decided
to tie up until lumber shippers
are willing to pay a higher
price.
The slight difference existing
between the plumbers union
and a few of the employing
plumbers has been adjusted
and all are now working. The
same scale Of wages is in use
now that prevailed last year

plumbers are to be the same as
those of the journeymen and
one, of a firm of two employing
plumbers, only, are allowed to
work. a. :..~.. - 49, "
The union draymen met Sat-
urday evening in Brown build
ing and discussed the general
advantages of the association.
There is now a move on foot to
extend the union and take in
all members of the craft. Many
good drays are yet on the out
side and it is the general
opinion that by a little con-
certed effort all will join the
union. The next meeting will
be held Saturday evening and
the subject of electing a dele
gate to Winona will be consid-
cred. It is thought that only a
proxy will be selected.

POPULAR DEMAND
For Annexation CauSed President to De
fer TO Ihnt sentLmenl.

fer 20 7 hat SentiIn0nEs
WASHINGTON, D. G.. Oct. s,-The
advIces from Paris to the effect that
the United States peace commissioners
have demanded the cessIon 70 the UNI
ted states OF the entire Philippine group
is in line with the Instructions that
have been issued to the representatives
OF the United States. Up to a very re-
cent date the United States commits
sIoners had no precise instructions on
this vital point. OF course before they
departed from Washington much con-
sIderatlon had been given to this inn
portant subject By the President, Secre-
tary Day, Assistant Secretary Moore
and the members OF the commission.
But there was lack Of data as to the
financial and political affairs of the
philippines and so It happened that
when the United States commissioners
smiled they were not committed beyond
change TO any line OF policy.
But since that time the President has
become convinced that there is a grent
popular demand for the annexation to
the United States OF the whole Philip
pine group. and he is disposed to defer
TO that sentiment
It cannot be learned definitely what
money consideration Is TO pass with the
title to the Philippines. Indeed there is
reason to believe that even the United
States peace commissioners have notHet
been able to FIX the amount exactly. AS
sumlng that they are 20 repudiate al
portions Of the debt OF the islands which
does not represent money spent for ac-
tuaI betterments, It will be seen at once
that the task passed to the commission
ers Of differentlating this debt is not
an easy one; particularly In view OF the
notoriously loose financial methods OF
the Spanish colonial authorities That
this debt should be assumed by the
United States In some proportion Is
said at the state department to be in-
evltable II annexation Is to follow.
quite unOfIiclaily, but in manner to
carry conviction as to the accuracy OF
the information, the Spanish commits
sIoners some days ago were allowed to
know what the United States purposes
as to the Philippines, once the con-
cIpsIon was arrived at, So they are not
taken completely by surprise by the
demand presented to-day at Paris.
