Industrial Commis.io ON Hearing.

WASHINGTON. May Sc. w. Perkins,
Of Chicago, president of the international
Cigar Makers Union, and David Ross, sec
rotary of the Illinois Bureau Of Labor Sta
~tistics. were before the Industrial Commits
sion to-day. Mr.. Perkins expressed the
opinion that If II had not been for organ
lied labor Chicago might nave been laid in
ashes during the last industrial depression"
They had exerted a modifying influence
when excitement among the unemployed
was running high. He said there had been
no general reduction of wages among the
cigar makers for past six years and that the
cigar makers now lived better than formerly.
I'VE live better" he said, but we deserve
to live better. and, having had a little of the
Improvement, we want more" The increase
in wages had not kept pace with the general
improvements in society. Mr.. Perkins ex-
pressed himself as opposed TO ndiscriminate
immigration. saying that because of this 1t
was impossible properly to organize the
cigar men in New York.
MIR. Ross expressed himself in strong
terms as opposed to black-lists. He said he
was not an advocate of the boycott, be-
cause ii was impracticable and also because
1t failed to reach those against whom it
was directed. He said that while he had
formerly been opposed to compulsory arbi-
tration recent occurrences at Pana had In
clined him to change his opinion. Mr.. Ross
declared the employment of the injunction
in labor troubles had been mischievous and
had failed to prevent the troubles at which
II aimed.

PREVALENCE OF ENGLISH.
Three-Fourths Of the Worlds Written
Business Done In 1t.

Business Done in 1t.
New York Herald.
English is written more than any other
language. Statistics for 1898 emphasize the
glish than in all of the other languages to-
gether.
To be more exact, three-fourths of all the
are In English. This remarkable fact Is
the more impressive when we remember
that only about one-fourth of the civilized
stantially 5OO.OC0,W0 persons who speak the
ten chief modern ongues, and of these $780,
100000 speak English. But the number is
increasing ra~pidly-beyond all proportion as
compared with the growth Of other lam
guages-and as the En~glish-speaking people
increase In numbers. not only do the letters
in the language increase, but the number Of
letters per capita also increases.
AT the beginning Of this century about Il
per cent. of the civilized world spoke En-
glish, at the middle Of the century it was
10 per cent, and now, at its close. it is 30
per cent. The increase in letter writing has
been far more rapid than this, and now out
tiers posted last year $780, 600. 900 were writ
ten in English.
The march of intelligence headed by the
English-speaking races, the wonderful de-
crease Of illiteracy among them. and the
demands of commerce. with these same
races in its van, have brought this result.
Commerce has extended the postOffice sys-
tenn to all parts of the globe. into every
nook and corner of the civilized world. and
Its language has been evolved from the
English tongue. All races that enter into
of necessity learn more or less of
the English language, and to some consid-
cradle extent carry on their business CORE
spondence in English. Any one who goes
among the native merchants Of Hong-Kong
will be impressed by this fact.
If you move with the world you must do
1t in English. Then, English-speaking per-
sons write more letters because more of
them know how to write, for while 81 per
cent. Of them have this accomplishment,
but a little more than one-half Of the per-
sons speaking other modern languages can
write their names. This is why the mail
matter Of the world for last year held
thirty-one letters for each English-speaking
person. German comes next with twenty
four. and French followed with seventeen
for each person.
In the United States alone last year there
We're mailed thirty-seven letters for each
inhabitant. which aggregated 40 per cent. of
all the letters written in the world. and
equaled the number written by all of the
nations Of continental Europe.
Next to the English, with its 5000. 900. coo
letters written last year, comes the German,
with 100000. 900: French. LOCO. 600. 900; Italian,
30.000.000; Russian. $50. 600, 600; Spanish, 100
o 1000; Dutch, 1000 600; scandinavian, So
600, 000; and Portuguese, 1900, 600.

A Typical American.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

Colonel Funston is one of those men for
whom rules were not made. The foreign
attaches who saw our men storming forti-
fled redoubts. unsupported by artillery, said
that such things could not be done accord
ing to the rules of war. But men of this
best type of American haven't time to study
rules. They are too busy doing the impos-
sible things to stop and study out whether
they are doable or not. Colonel Funstons
are not found every day. But il is our belief
and our pride to believe that the American
system makes more of them than any 9TH
er. The Kansas editor who estimated that
there are several hundred thousand men of
the same stuff In Kansas may be oversan-
guine; but he was probably speaking In
general terms, not as a statistician.

Rigid tests made at Mobile. Ala, seem TO

electrical apparatus designed by M: r.
Hutchinson TO enable the deaf mute to hear.
The instrument in question has been named
the akoulallion. from two Greek verbs,
''akouo," to hear. and "~lalleo," TO speak.
The apparatus is similar in appearance TO

instructions to cut on. the instructor, so as

hour TO half a day after the apparatus had
been removed from their previously insensi-

passed by the Senate to-day. The bill de-
fines as a trust any two persons or concerns
who combine for the purpose Of restricting
trade or controlling prices or those who re-
fuse to sell TO others in the same line Of
business. The bill provides that persons or
corportions injured by trusts may recover
three-fold damages. the costs OF the suit
and a reasonable attorneys fee. No further
penalties are provided by the measure,
which declares trusts are illegal and gives
the court the power to restrain them by
writ of Injunction.
