A letter received at Tacoma, Wash,
from Henry Jameson, who left for
Copper river two months ago, states
that 120 men are blockaded at Port
Valdez and wholly unable to reach
Copper river, because there is no way
of traversing the Valdez glaciers as
had been expected. He says the glacier
is filed with wide crevasses, many of
which are supposed to be half mile
deep it is impossible to cross them
Indians at Port Valdez say that the
glacier has not been crossed clear to
Copper River in two years. It can be
trayersed only during the winters when
snow is plentiful up in the moupntains
causing the crevasses to be packed full
of snow by the heavy winds that pre-
vail, making the footing secure. When
the crevasses are full of snow the In
dams say there is no danger in travel
ling over the glacier. If the snow Is
discolored, indicating thaws, the ma
tives cannot be hired to attempt to
cross.

The end Of the strike Of the English
engineers has caused the publication OF
some statistics bearing upon the sub
ject Of labor troubles in that country
during the last as compared with the
preceding year. The number Of dis,
plites was smaller in 1897 than in 1896,
being 065, as compared with 1,O21, but
the aggregate number of working days
lost was greater in 1897 than In any
year since 1898, which is made famous
In labor annals of the United Kingdom
by the great coal strike. In 1897 the
number of days labor lost was 10, 4OO,-
600, as against 3,748,52 in 1896. This
is accounted for by the length Of the
engineers strike, which was one of the
longest on record. OF the 965 disputes
begun and ended the last year 80 per
cent. Of the total were settled in favor
Of the wage worker; % per cent. in ia
vor of the employees and the remain
der. about 40 per cent, were settled by
compromise in most of which cases
both parties secured some advantages.
The general upward tendency in wages
for the last two years has been infuen-
tial in checking the desire to strike. A
report shows that of the wage workers
in the United Kingdom 538, 200 have re-
ceiyed increase in wages, while 14,500
have suffered from decrease, but this
has in some cases been modified by
shortening of the hours of labor in very
many Industries. The diminishing of
the hours Of labor has been gradually
going ON since 1894, when the eight
hour day was adopted in Government
adjustments, and as result of such
q change the number Of hours Of labor
have been reduced something like 3OO,-
600 hours per week. Serious as some of
the labor disputes of last year certainly
were, 1t cannot be denied that the
strike is passing away as means of
settling labor troubles, and that with.
IN the United Kingdom and this coun
try less drastic methods Of harmonizing
disputes between labor and capital are
becoming popular with both factions in
such controversies.

It is strange that in these days when
questionable historical characters are
rehabilitated, when King Henry VIII.
is proved to have been Christian
gentleman and loving husband, when
Catiline is vouched for as a Roman
patriot, when Nero's worst fault is
shown to have been that he sometimes
allowed his fiddle to get out Of tune,
when Benedict Arnold takes high
place in the roll Of brave heroes, when
I.ucrecia Borgia and Delilah are cele-
brated for their many virtues, when 1T
is conclusively proved that there was
much to admire in Judas Iscariot. and
when the famous opinion Of Origen, the
early church theologian, that the devil
would some day be converted, is
strengthened by proofs that he has
been grossly slandered; 1t is strange,
we say, that in these times of charita-
BILE historical judgments, the character
of the prophet Jonah remains under
cloud as dark as ever. 1t is painful to
observe that not only is he without de-
tenders, but his reputation suffers from
rtdicule. So true is this that his name
is used as kind Of symbol for the in
Fiction of bad luck. The name Jonah
Is employed as almost equivalent to the
word hoodoo. Yet he was, from the
best account we have, jealous, con-
scientious, generaus, enterprising, of
excellent judgment, a great orator, a
distinguished navigator, and ster-
Ting moralist. He scorned deceit. He
preferred to risk the perils Of the deep
rather than endanger on his account
the lives of his fellow voyagers.
Though brave, he was prudent. He
took no foolhardy risks. But when he
delivered his celebrated Grafton in
Nineveh the whole city was profound
" stirred. He was the greatest re-
former Of his age.

The inventive genius of man has
never devised more novel means OF
transit than one that has been put In
the experimental stage of operation IN
England and known as the HalIoru
system of railway construction. In this
road the motive power Is gravity alone,
and II is SO built that the cars are con-
tinuously moving on down grade. AS
near as can be described from the pub
lished notices of the road that perma-
nent way is built in sections, hinged
together, each end being supported by
a hydraulic ram. AS the train reaches
the junction of two sections, 1t puts the
hydraulic ram in operation so that the
ram lises, lifting the end OF the Sec
ton, together with the cars that are
upon it. This forms an incline, or
rather decline, down which the cars
move by their own weight. The same
process is repeated with each section,
and in this way the train Is always
moving down falling gradient. OF
course the sections vary greatly both In
!.hheir length e aud steepness: The great
est ingenuity is used rue
ton OF the hydraulic r Inc
,-1sts1 rs conveyed In pitcS D-4eath
the rails, and the admission of the wa
ter to the sylinders of the,rams is con-
trolled by electrical appliances on the
cars, or by the weight of the train de-
pressing the section 1t is passing from,
and In this way operating the water
supply valve. What success has been
gained is not known, but certainly the
novel affair must have some valuable
points to commend it to conservative
English capitalists to such an extent as
to induce him to give it an experiment
tai trial.

1t is added that the only course left
Great Britain is to follow suit, obtain
advantages with the other powers and
secure adequate compensation in her
own interests. This explains the
British naval activity at Hongkong
and elsewhere. Therefore a movement
upon the part of Great Britain may be
anticipated in the near future.
