Despite the fact that Cooper was am

from the date of the purchase of the
farm Chadwick was given a deed for
the property. Cooper, who has 200 acres

At the tna-Standard Which is a Subject
of n Conference.
President Schafer, of the Amalga-

Pittsburg yesterday and held a confer
ence in the afternoon with officials OF
the Aetna-Standard plant, relative to
an adjustment of wages in one mill at

mill is more modern and in most re-
spects better equipped than any other
in the country which manufactures the
same line, and for that reason an ad-
justment of the scale with especial
reference to that mill was necessary.
The conference which was held yes
terday afternoon was simply devoted
to a discussion of the matter. Presi-
dent Schafer will hold another meet

day. when it is expected that an agree

Ohio, is now under control. The flow
of gas was encountered in the Cow

is estimated at million feet a day.
1t ignited when first drilled in and de-
stroyed the derrick and machinery, but

pressure of steam into it, which ex-
tinguished the fire. A new derrick has
been built and an effort will be made
to get the tools out of the hole Messrs.
Mercer, of Marietta, and Philips, of this
city, have made locations for a number
of wells in that vicinity. They are af

No New Developments Arc Expected for

Although many rumors and reports
are in circulation regarding the pro-

known as the j. Pierpont Morgan in

any developments for some time to

submitted in black and white to the
representatives of the Morgan syndi-
cate, who in turn will report them to
their principals. and will be consid-
cred and reported back. This will
necessarily take time, and there is an
abundance Of it, as the option does not

Of course, the terms now proposed

in modification of the present action

The future alone can determine what
may result, and meanwhile, there will

MIR. BRYAN WAS RIGHT.

The Hannacratic press is engaged in
! belaboring Mr. Bryan for his re-
Spouse to Mr.. Belmont's invitation to
the Democratic Clubs Jefferson Day
celebration in New York in which
Mr.. Bryan wanted to know before &C
cepting the invitation if Mr.. Belmont,
who bolted the party in 1896, had
changed his views since then. Mr.. Bel
mont's response, that he didn't think
individual views in such case count
ed, is not to the point. Doubtless Mr..
Bryan, like most other people, is care
full of the company he keeps, political
as we'll as social.
| In this he is right.
1t would have been exceedingly ILL
fitting for Mr.. Bryan, after his de-
nunciations of the Belshazzar feasts
of the gold worshippers to have, him
self, clinked glasses at a precisely SIM
liar feast in the same sort of company.
Besides, insuch atmosphere thecham-
pion of the cause Of the plain people
would have found it rather difficult to
have preached the true gospel of JEFF
fersonian and Jacksonian Democracy.
Yes, Mr.. Bryan was right in first en-
curing what kind of gathering he
was asked to attend in fraternity and
good fellowship.
Evidently the outspoken Democratic
leader would not feign a fraternity and
good fellow hip which he did not feel
nor believe in.
Mr.. Bryan has had experience of the
Tammany brand of Democracy and
does not propose TO give that organi-
cation, which is as like Platt's Repub
lican machine as two peas, another
chance to insert it's knife under the
fifth rib of the Democratic party of the
nation.
Already his courageous act has borne
good fruit The New York Democracy
is split There will be two banquets
on Jefferson's Day. One will be held
by Tammany, which in the last ma
tional campaign was an adjunct to the
Hanna machine, and the other and
the one which Mr. Bryan will attend,
if he attends any, will be held by true
blue Democrats whose fealty to the
principles of true Jeffersonian De-
-locracy and to the Democratic party
of the nation is not a matter of doubt.
So far, the atmosphere is cleared.

THE MICA CANAL.

While it is undisputed that the in

the digging of an isthmian canal and
that such waterway connecting the
two great oceans and shortening the
distance by water between our two
better, yet the defeat of the Nicara-
qua Canal project by narrow margin
in the last Congress was a proper
tpoye.
>Admiral Walkers testimony before
the River and Harbor Committee in
executive session shows that the
scheme was not in fit shape for adop-
ton by this government In fact, it
had attained no tangible shape at all,
having scarcely gotten beyond the
guesswork stage in any direction.
Practically all the heavy engineering
work had yet to be done and nothing
definite was decided upon regarding
routes, levels, number of locks or To-
cation and number of dams, while Ad-
miral Walker had only vague no.

Lott
with any country interested in the
matter and none of the projectors ap-
pear to have given any special thought
to the subject. Had Congress author
lied the scheme it would have run
agains. the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
OF course, since England is so anxious
for American friendship, Lord Sails
bury's government would probably
have interposed no obstacle, but doubt
less would have been glad to put the
United States III Englands debt for
SO great a favor and exhibition of
friendship and would have cancelled
the treaty. But that would not have
ended the trouble. 1t was still neces-
sary to secure the consent of Costa
Rica whose rights along the route of
the proposed canal could not have
been overridden. This consent has
never been secured. True, TIE Costa
Rican President was in Washington
last winter apparently exhibiting an
itching palm and willingness to be
bought cheap, but he was not bought
for the canal schemers were engaged
in bigger schemes of corruption just
at that time. The fact remains that
Costa Rica's consent is necessary.
Yet, had it not been for the level
head of Speaker Reed, who has since
been blackguarded up hill and down
dale for shelving the scheme, Con-
gress would have adopted the measure
in this chaotic state with all the ar
rangemants regarding the proposed
canal at skies and sevens.
While unquestionably the Speaker
has no right to override or thwart the
will of the majority of Congress and
the Register does not endorse his
methods, still he has proven in this
instance wiser and safer than that ma
jority. The bill, passed by his efforts,
throwing the whole matter into the
hands OF a new commission for re-
vision was the best move. We want
the canal, but we want to get it prop
erly, safely and economically.
