The Pennsylvania Railroad company
is about inaugurating a pension system
which. if carried out in accordance
with published statements, will be
highly commendable. It is proposed to
establish pension fund for employees
who have been in the company's service
for 80 years and to make retirement
from the service compulsory at the age
Of 70 years. The proposed pensions
would, it is said, call for the payment
Of 100000 year, and it would be

Cumpac, Mex, Bombarded For Ten
Hours-Fifty Men and Women Killed.
AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. pa dispatch
from chihuahua, Mex, says the mill
tary authorities there have received
Geographic advices of an? attack upon
The town of Cumpac by a band Of about

attack for 10 hours, when the Indians
withdrew. Several houses were burned

of casualties cannot be definitely stated.
AS soon as the Indians withdrew a
courier was sent to TORN for military
protection and two companies of cav
airy have been ordered to the town.

where there was strong opposition to
him emanating from Douglas county.
This opposition conferred on former
United. States Senator Allen, who could
have had majority of the ballots in
the convention but he pushed the prof

friend, Holcomb Allen was chair
man of the resolutions committee in the
Populist convention and William j.

of the Democratic convention. This
document declared uncompromisingl
for the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to and Endorsed bodily the Chi

The platform of the Populist conven-
ton Endorsed the platform of the Popu-
list national convention of 1896 and in
addition contained planks denouncing
the policy Of the administration in the
Philippines.
The platform of the Silver Republic
ans was much the same and contained
in addition strong plank declaring
against the use of railroad passes by
public officials.
The pass resolution was adopted by
the Populist convention without dissent
but stirred up a great commotion among
the Democrats, many Of whom
Fought 1t to the Finish
and for time the gathering was re-
solved into scene of great disorder.
Finally the matter was put to vote
and the resolution declared passed al.
though not over dozen delegates voted
on either side.
Mr.. Bryan addressed all three con
ventions and was emphatic in his de
nunciation of the ADMINISTRATORS pol
icy in the Philippines. He also spoke
vigorously in support of the free coinage
Of silver, declaring it to be the MAR
issue now before the public. He de
nounced trusts in strong terms ant
criticised the administration for doing
nothing to regulate them. He wa
received with great enthusiasm.
For regents of. the state university

ISSUE OF lNJUNCTIONS.
Congress VIII Be Asked to Modify the
Practice.

Congress Will Be Asked to Modify the
Practice.
CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-The Record says,
Chicago central labor organizations will
unite in a petition to the United States
congress and the various state legisla-
lures to enact laws which will restrict
the rights of judges to issue injunctions
without hearing evidence from both
sides. The petition will recite that nu-
merous injunctions have been granted
on ex parte evidence, which have
worked hardships on innocent persons
against whom they have been directed.
1t is not sought by the labor unions to
restrain the judges from exercising the
full power of their courts where there
has been damage to property, loss of
life or injury to body, but they will in
sist that where there has been neither
of these conditions, the judges have nc
right to issue restraining orders. It is
claimed that the injunction rule has
worked to place men in Jail in the past
who were doing all that was in their
power to prevent violations Of the law.
A Chicago attorney is now at work
on the draft Of bill that will be pre-
sented at the next session of congress.

ITO BE CONTINUED

One of the wonders Of this marvellous
age is the rapidity with which the re-
mote quarters Of the globe are being
brought close together. According to
the report Of the Russian minister of
railways, when Russia's new TRANSIT
berian railroad is completed the trip
around the world can be made in 80
days. When Jules Verne some years
ago sent his fictitious Phineas Fogg
around the globe in so days, the exploit
was deemed about as near absolutely
impossible as the airy Puck's feat Of
putting a girdle ''around the earth in
40 minutes. A few years ago, how
ever. two American women. travelling
in opposite directions, beat Fogg's
mythical exploit, and when the great
Russian railroad is in operation the rec
ord Of their journeyings will in COM
parison read like the story of travel by
the old fashioned stagecoach and sail
ing vessel.
Vermonters are enthusiastically at
work to secure a statue Of Admiral
Dewey to adorn the entrance Of the
state capitol at Montpelier. 1t seems
probable that Vermont will honor two
Of her sons at the same time by giving
the commission for the Dewey statue tc
Larkin G.. Mead, the sculptor who
made the statue of Ethan Allen which
some years ago was erected at the en-
trance of the statehouse. It is proposed
to make the Dewey statue companion
piece to that of Ethan Allen. The here
of Manila is said to be greatly pleased
that his Vermont neighbors regard hin
as worthy Of being honored in man
ner similar to that conferred upon tn,
hero Of Ticonderoga.
