tween San Francisco and the Hawaiian

the coastwise commerce brought on a war
which knocked rates from so cents to 2
cents per 100 pounds between New York
and Galveston, and which upset the rate

THE Spanish-American war caused
truce and when that conflict ended the
Lone Stare, Mallory and Morgan Lines
worked in harmony for a time, but lately
there has been a great deal of secret cut

LABOR MEN MAKE COMPLAINT.
They Say the Banking system Per-
meates Everything.

meates Everything.
Washington, May IS. B. Donnelly,
president of the International Typograph-
ical Union, was before the industrial COM
mission to-day.
Referring to the strike of the stereo-
typers in Chicago last year, Mr.. Donnelly
said it was failure because it did not
have the sanction of the general order. He
thought strikes were diminishing. The
witness estimated that there were about
1900 Mergenthaler machines in use in the
United States, and said they had displaced
about l2,000 workmen. The printers had
accepted machinery in their work as in
evitable, but he considered them detri-
mental to their business under existing
circumstances. Mr.. Donnely opposed the
Incorporation of trades unions because he
was afraid of the courts.
THE banking system seems to permeate
everything" he said. mot only legisla-
lures move in the direction indicated by
the bankers, but the courts must do The
same thing"
Mr. James Duncan of Baltimore, secre-
tasy-ireasurer of the Granite Cutters Ma
tional Union, said that state arbitration
had not been satisfactory as a rule, be-
cause the disposition of arbitration boards
was to reduce wages where they were
higher than in other places. He also com
planned thai the customs officials refused
TO enforce the anti-contract law as vigor-
ously as they should, and in this connec-
ton criticised the executive action of
President Harrison in reducing the fine of
contractors on the Texas state capitol
from $S6 coo to $4,000.
Mr.. Duncan criticised the United States
Senate as a place of redress for. million

New Orleans. May "A letter from the

ae situation here is assuming new
complications, each of which renders the
outlook more alarming for American in
Cerests. 1t is becoming evident to every
body that unless the United States govern
ment makes some strong, decisive and i'm
mediate stand the American merchants
will be systematically looted and driven
out of the country. The exact character
of the so-caned compromise arrangement
effected by Minister Merry with the Mica
ragua officials is as follows:
81. The duties demanded on goods re-
ceived during the Reyes revolution are TO
be deposited in trust with Mr. Bingham.
British consul at San Juan del Norte, sub
ject to the decision of The American and
Nicaraguan government. said decision
is to be reached within four months from
date.

released, and the merchants to be REIN
bursed for any damages the consignments
may have received. In the event the issue
is decided in favor of the Nicaraguan gov
ernment no penalties are to be exacted fol-
failure to pay the duties on demand
This arrangement is very unsatisfac-
tory to the merchants for the reason that
their case rests entirely upon their abfl-
ity to establish the existence in Blue
fields of a government de facto at the
time fhe duties were originally paid. They
claim that the insurgent party did consti-
