Win Commentator in London For
Their Work at The Hague.
London, July 31.-The morning pa
pers all devote space to the closing of
the peace conference. The Standard
says: ut must be source of pride
to Russia to know that she carried
with her, in agreeing to all the con-
ventions, declarations and resolutions,
q majority of the nations represented.
True, the minority, which make i'm
portant exceptions and reservations,
includes such powers as Great Britain,
the United States Germany, Austria,
Japan and Italy. Still, Russia can con-
sole herself with the support not only
of France, Belgium, Bolivia and Brazil,
whose opinions on such topics as the
laws of maritime warfare, the limita-
tion Of the caliber of naval ordnance
and the pattern Of rifle bullets, must
carry weight, even If they conflict with
the British admiralty and the German
war Office"
The Daily News says: "The chief
work was, of course, the definite. I'M
animous assent Of the assembled states
to arbitration as substitute for war.
The American delegation has been one
of the most useful elements in the
parliament. Andrew D. White, its
chief, held himself much in the back
ground. but did not spare effort pri-
vately to bring about good under
standing between the representatives
of the powers. But the man of the
American delegation who. left much
the deepest mark upon the conference
and its work was the American lawyer,
Mr.. Hollis, secretary of the delega-
ton, who was comparatively unknown
before the conference. Captains Ma
han and Crozier also made hosts Of
friends.

Dreaded Disease Invades, Hampton's
soldiers' Home.
Newport News. Va, July 31.-There
are 80 cases of what Ia believed to be
genuine yellow fever at the National
Soldiers Home near Hampton, and
three deaths from the disease were re-
ported yesterday. There were several
other deaths at the institution on Sat-
urday, but 1t cannot be stated that all
of them were caused by yellow fever.
Newport News and Hampton are
quarantined against the Soldiers
Home. The government authorities
at Old Point had already adopted this
step, and no street cars are allowed to
ep6er the reservation. Quarantine
Officer Hobson, of this port, went to
the home last night and verified the
statements made above.
While no one outside of the soldiers
home knew anything about the exist
Bnce of yellow fever until yesterday, 1t
Is said that the disease made its ap-
pearance three days ago. The most
rigid quarantine regulations will be
enforced to prevent the spread of the
malady.
The news has created great excite
ment in Newport News, Old Point and
Hampton, and the most vigorous meas
ures will be resorted to to prevent its
spread. There are 1000 old veterans
at the home and several large excur-
sion parties went through 1t last week.
Two Of the surgeons dispatched to
the home from Washington reported
yesterday that the symptoms very
much resembled those of yellow fever.
and that while they could not be posi-
tive in their diagnosis as yet, they were
inclined to to the belief that the i'll
ness was the dreaded yellow jack The
government will adopt strict precau-
tionary measures.

The Rev. Geo. L. Wolfe, pastor
ri the FirstM p. Church, preached
4 very sensible sermon on "Strikes
Their Meaning" on Sunday even
ing. He said the greatest one the
world ever knew was in progress.
1t was greater than even the thirty
years war or the Revolutionary
War. 1t has been raging for years,
although at times, like cat before
the FIRE, it has been very quiet, but
ut present it is as much a lioness
IS ever. The antagonistic forces
have come together" He said that
associated capital meant monopoly
and he was opposed to monopoly of
any kind. Capital is disposed to
grind labor down where it can and
labor is disposed to say to capital
that we want shorter hours and
more pay or we will not help you to
produce your wealth. Labor then
forms unions and says if we don't
get our demands we win strike and
tie your business up, thereby ruin
ing you and drivingyou out of busi-
ness. Then capital says, all right
we shall protect ourselves against
organized labor and they forthwith
effect Trust and if a strike is in.
augurated in one of thecities where
one Of tier plants is in operation,
they shut it down. Controlling all
the output Of certain industry,
they can prevent the strikers from
getting employment in any other
mills and thus starve labor into
giving in. But capital should in
all cases grant labor a fair salary
to live upon and make the working
man a friend instead of secret
enemy, ready at any minute to join
strike to better his condition.
-Boycotts and strikes never won a
fight for the wage Garner, they have
been his curse. If the workingman
could so educate himself that when
he thought he did not receive as
much pay as his labor was worth,
to quit and 60 some place else where
he could command better wages, it
would be better for him than to in
augurate strike and perhaps be
supplanted in the end by improved
machinery. Too many labor agi-
tators make handsome livings by
stirring up the working people to
see strikes die out soon.

THE SANTO DOMINGO REVOLT,

Chosen President.
Kingston, JAM, July 31.-A private
cable dispatch received here by way Of
Cape Haytien reports that the revolu-
tion in Santo Domingo Is progressing
favorably. The dispatch says that the
real reason for the detention of Presi-
dent Heureaux's body at Santiago and
its interment there was that the coun-
try between Santiago and Porto Plata
is occupied by the insurgents, who,
abandoning their plan of occupying
Moca as a base of operations, are con-
centrating to attack Porto Plata, which
is feebly garrisoned. Great excitement
prevails owing to the fact that the
government has not been able to ascer-
tain the extent of the ramifications of
the revolution and is growing democrat
lied through the death of the presi-
dent.
In the event of the revolution sue
ceeding, according to the private cable
gram, 1t is probable that Jiminez and
Jitonels, the reputed leaders of the
revolution, will agree to retire, offer
ing the presidency to General Maxine
Gomez, who would prove acceptable to
all parties. A deputation, 1t is report
ed, is going to Cuba to confer with
Gomez.

THE GALLANT TENTH.


Pennsylvania Committee En- Route to
Welcome the Returning Heroes.
Chicago, July 31.-A committee of
prominent Pennsylvania politicians,
officials, newspaper and railroad men
passed through Chicago last night en-
route for the Pacific coast to welcome
home the Tenth Pennsylvania volun-
teers, which is expected to arrive in
San Francisco from Manila Aug. or 6.
The committee carries fund of $780,
600 raised by citizens of western Penn
sylvania with which to bring the
Tenth home and prepare welcome for
the returning soldiers. Besides the
citizens fund of $4,000 the Pennsyl-
vania railroad subscribed $25,000
The particular feature of this trip
of welcome and escort lies in the plans
already perfected for paying off the
members of the regiment while on
their way home, and at the same time
providing them WIN their mastering
out papers. By special arrangement
with the war department there will be
pay car attached to each of the mill
tary rains that pulls out of San Fran
cisco. and in each pay car will be the
paymaster and government officials,
who will give the officers and men
their pay and discharge papers. Over
$4,000 will be distributed in this
manner.

One Legged Murderer at Large

Greensburg, Pa, July 31.-George
McCune was murdered at Grays, Vest
moreland county, yesterday afternoon,
He was shot in the head by man
named Saddler The assassin escaped.
As he has but one leg he will be at a
disadvantage in getting away from the
officers. Coroner |, B. Owens has been
unable to get many details of the
crime. Word has been sent to Pitts
burg, Johnstown, Altoona and Blairs-
vile to watch the trains for the man.
1t is doubtful if the murderer will try
to escape by rail. He would have a
much better opportunity Of eluding the
officers by going into the mountains.
There are numerous caves in which he
would find a temporary hiding place.

CLEMENT G. CoNGDoN's name has
disappeared from the head of the
editorial page of the Sun and Geo.
w. Roberts has taken its place as
editor. Mr.. Roberts has had con-
siderable experience in newspaper
work and will import a decent tone
to the Sun which cannot fail to make
friends for it, AS it had been run
from its first inception in our city,
it was disgrace to journalism and
all that pertained to the craft. 1t
will only be required to turn over a
new leaf to be more acceptable to
the reading public of this city. Mr..

1.-The Sun will be Union Republic
can in politics. AS a consistent
advocate Of Republican principles
applied to politics and government,
In this State, it could reasonably be
nothing else than devotedly Union
Republican The government of
this State by the people and for the
people, awaits the success Of that
party; all real progress toward
that desirable political goal, dates
from the advent of its leaders in
local politics; every Republican
victory won at the polls has been
won under its flag; it is the cham
pion oil equality before the law, and
of the rights of the masses of the
people against the classes; it rep
resents the Republican majority
sentiment and the Republican ma
jority vote of the State. 1t is the
Republican party of the State by
right of birth, history, growth,
achievement and present condition.
The Sun will be broadly Republican
in nation al politics. 1t will be I'm.
ion Republican in State politics,
because that party is officially and
politically the ittest-the iittest

Our Iron Ore prOduptjOn,

Washington, July 31.-The report
of the geological survey on the pro-
duction of iron ore for the year 1893
has been completed by Special Agent
John Birkinbine. The year recorded
the maximum iron ore production for
the United States, total Of 19,27S,369
long tons. This was 1,760,323 long
tons, or 10 per cent, in excess of the
previous maximum of 17,51S,046 long
tons produced in 1897, and over $780,
900 tons above the record for Great
Britain in 1880. The ores of the British
Isles also averaged lower percentages
of metal than those exploited in this
country, and therefore represent a
smaller pig metal product.
