THE HONEST FARMER.

All classes of laborers are out on
strikes. The street car employees
in the cities of Cleveland and
Brooklyn have knocked off work,
and have been followed by the
messenger boys, the news boys,
bod carriers, and various other
classes of ]aborers. In all the
troubles that beset the world of
labor, we have yet to learn Of an
instance in which the honest farm
or has gone out on strike. And
it is mighty lucky thing for the
welfare Of his fellow men that the
farmer does not go into the strike
business. Not that the farmer
has no troubles. He has dozens
Of 'em. The striking laborer COM
plains of low prices for his labor.
The farmer suffers from the same
complaint, and in addition wrestles
with wheat smut, hail, drouth, and
hot winds. Yet he does notstrike.
He does not get out on the road
and wave his hands and pile up a
lot Of oil barrels and set 'em afre
and howl about the God-given
rights of man. He sweats and
tolls in the hot sun, teaches the
brindle calf to drink out of a tin
pail, poultices his potato vines
with paris green, sells his wheat
for what he can get, and thinks,
"d-a farmer, anyhow That is
about the only relief he gets.
Strikes appeal to the hearts of
labor sympathizers. But we think
of nothing at this time that would
appeal to the stomachs of the
great American people as wildly
as a strike on the part of the
honest farmer.-Bismark Tribune.

The transport Morgan City, ar
rived at San Francisco from Man
lila last week, carried lis sick and
wounded soldiers from the First

General Otis, who is accused of
showing favoritism toward certain

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 2e.-Today's de-
velopments in the strike situation indt-
cate a probability of some kind of settle
ment being reached soon. The grain
shovelers have adopted new tactics, and
more conciliatory mood, which promise
to raise the grain blockade, while the
freight handlers and monthly men who
run the elevators are weakening. The
monthly men, who went out in sympathy
with the grain shovelers, began to clamor
today for a settlement. They claim that
the grain shovelers are unreasonable in
their demands, and that if they 10 not
agree to accept a compromise they, the
monthly men, will return to work.
committee from the monthly men
waited upon the executive committee of
the grain shovelers' union early today
and demanded information as to what
course the grain shovelers intended to
pursue President Mcmahon, OF the grain
shoYelers, said that negotiations were In
progress between the executive commit
tee and the elevator men and Independent
vessel owners. All but FOUR Of the ele-
vators, he said. had agreed to lease the
steam shovels to the union, and assur-
ance had been received which indicated
that all the vessel owners not members
of the Lake aCrriers association would
do business with the union. Mcmahon
also stated that there was possibility of
an agreement being reached with Con-
tractor Connors, although he was not
sure that the grain shovelers would make
terms with him. Mr.. Mcmahon declared
that the trouble would probably be set
tied Monday.
ULTIMATUM TO STRIKERS.
The monthly men met tonight and vot-
ed to give the grain shovelers until Mon
day afternoon to reach an agreement so
that work could be resumed at The ele-
vators. Otherwise they will declare the
strike off, and let the grain shovelcrs
fight 1t out alone.
About 1900 freight handlers met at Fill
more hall tonight and voted unanimously
to return to work on Tuesday on the fol-
lowing terms: Discharge of Objectionable
bosses; no Sunday work except in cases
of emergency; the appointment of an In
spector to guard the interests Of the men.
The question of an advance in wages was
waived.
The result of the meeting will be re-
ported to Bishop Quigley on Monday, and
the men will be guided by his advice.
The bishop already has advised them to
go back to work. There is some question
as to whether the contractors will agree
to discharging any bosses, but 1t Is be-
lieved this obstacle can be easily re-
moved.
The strike of the ore handlers and coal
beavers is In fair way OF being settled.

oEuitiOn Observation-Disclosures
ment in store for Delegates.
THE HAGUE, May 20.-The second sit
ting of the peace conference took place
this morning and lasted thirty-five min
utes The president of the conference,
Baron de Staal read the replies of the
car and Queen Wilhelmina to the tele-
grams sent to them by the conference en-
Thursday The president then addressed
the delegate on the subject of the labors
before them, and il was decided not to
publish the speech.
The president proposed the adoption of
arrangements for the committees which
was agreed to without discussion. Baron
de Staal- further proposed that, although
the principal of secrecy should be MAIN
tanned communications might be made
through the press bureau, subject to the
approval of the president. This was also
adopted.
At the conclusion of the conference to-
day NJ. de Staal, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British ambassador at Washington,
head of the British delegation, and the
United States ambassador at Berlin, Mr..
Andrew D. White, head of the American
delegation, with several of the other chief
delegates, returned to The Hague for
lunch. But M Bourgeois, former pre-
mier of France and head of the French
delegation, and almost all the second
technical delegates, who form part of
committees, remained at 1.-The house in
the woods" to draw up certain lists. They
were occupied also with the organization
. of the committees.
The proceedings today passed off with
Gout any incident. Only the president
! spoke, others manifesting their appro-
baton by slight, discreet murmurs. Sew
eral of the chief delegates are leaving
The Hague for a few days, pending the
preliminary work of the committees.
Baron de Staal, during the course of
the day, received the following dispatch:
The emperor begs you to be the in
terpreter to the conference of his sincere
thanks and warmest wishes. My august
master charges me to impress upon-yo
eXcellency how much his majesty is
touched by the telegram addressed to
him. -Muravieff.
ARBITRATION IN FRONT.
It was learned during the day that M.
de Staal placed the question of media
ton and arbitration in the fore front in
the proceedings. The question of laws
rendering war as humane as possible
by the extension of the regulations al
ready existing, were then touched upon
by the president and relegated the ques-
ton of the reduction of ornaments to
the third place.
This indication modifies the order in
which the three points were placed in
the circular of the Russian minister of
foreign affairs, Count Muravieff, but it
hast the merit of corresponding more

closely to the views OF the delegates, and
it is now considered certain that media
ton and arbitration will have the chief
place in the work of the conference
Further the opinion is unanimous that
the American ana British delegates will
take the most important part in the
study of this question.
The conference decided today that all
delegates, including the technical repre-
sentatives, are to participate in the sit
tings and join in the discussions.
The date of the next session has not
yet been fixed. 1t depends upon the
progress which will be made by the com
mitees.
NJ. de Staal announced today that the
government of the Netherlands would
give an artistic. fete on June 16 In honor
Of the conference.
