PRESIDENT GARLANp
0fAmalgamated Association Before
the Industrial Commission.

the industrial commission.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 6. M.
NJ. Garland, eX-president of the ANAL
gamated Iron and Steelworkers' Asso-
cIation, was before the industrial COM
mission for an hour to-day. +. ].
Stimson. of Boston, the advisory coun-
sci of the commission, was present.
About two-thlrds OF the employees In
the Iron, steel and tin trade are or
ganized. Mr.. Garland testified. Every
year representatives Of the Amalga-
mated Association go to the employers
Of labor with the scale for their sigma
lures. Mr.. Garland explained at length
the methods by which disputes between
employers and employees are settled.
The Amalgamated Associations plan
has been rather In the line OF concllia-
tlon than that of arbitration.
The witness said that the importa-
tion Of contract labor had frequently
defeated strikes. notably so In 1897
Mr.. Garland said that it had been his
experience that injunctIons are too Of
ten resorted to by the employers of Ia
Dor. Whenever the strikers have at
tempted to induce other men not to take
their vacated places, the Injunction has
been the invarlable resort of the en-
ploycrs. Injunctions are very easy to
get, he said, especially In Western
Pennsylvania. where they are as ."thick
MS tax notices" in times of labor trou-
bles. Bi-monthly pay days nrc the
rule in iron and steel trade, and seem
to be satisfactory. The methods en-
ployed by the Iron workers and their
employers are the most satisfactory In
the world, Mr.. Garland believes, and
can scarcely be improved upon.

IMPORTANT ADMISSION

or German Official In Regard to tho
appointment of Prince Henry to
Command of East Asiatic Squadron.
BERLIN, March GA high official Of
the German naval department, has In
formed the correspondent here OF the
Associated Press that the appointment
Of Prince Henry OF Prussia, brother Of
Emperor William, to the command OF
the East Aslatlc. squadron, had been
considered for months past and was
finally decided upon as being the most
available, the emperor desiring to show
the American people that he is thor
oughly friendly to them, knowing that
Prince Henry Is popular In the United
States. H8 =.
When the official referred to was ask
ed whether the appointment was equiv
alent to the disgrace Of Admiral Won
Diedrlchs, he said: Not exactly. II
Admiral Won Dledrichs had shown
more tact last summer before Manila 1t
would undeniably been productive OF
good results all around. Our govern
ment unfortunately was advised too
late OF i number of occurrences before
Manila, none OF which were really i'm
portant; but they showed grave want of
tact upon Admiral Won Dledrichs' part.
The main trouble was that Admiral
Won Diedrlchs was insufliciently in
formed regarding international naval
usages In such delicate situation.
Consequently he continued naval move-
ments. drill and searchlight practice as
II elsewhere than In q blockaded port,
thus arousng dls,rust upon the part Of
the Americans"
The above Is important as being the
first German official admission that
there had been trouble between the
Germans and Americans in Manila

ITALY'S PROJECT
To Secure an "Opcn Door" on the
Chinese Coast.

gard to the Italian Dcmand-Allur-
ing Intimations From Other Powers
That now is our Opportunity to

Determined the American Govern.
mcnt TO Keep Hands on. Il

WASHINGTON, D. C., March e.
The United States government has re-
malned absolutely passive throughout
the execution of the italian project to
secure an open door" on the Chinese
coast through the acquisition OF San
Nun bay and outlying islands. Some
days ago United States Minister Con-
ger at Pekin, acquainted the state de-
partment with the fact that Italy had
preferred request upon China for a
lease of the spot selected, but he has
made no report since and It Is not
known officially whether or not the Ital-
ian forces have been landed at San
Nun.
One of the highest authorities to-day
said: THE government of the United
States will not take any steps in regard
TO the Italian demand for the cesslon OF
Chinese territory"
In other words, our government, re-
sisting from motives Of broad policy,
alluring intimations from other powers
to the effect that the time is ripe for a
raid by the United States on some part
OF the Chinese coast line has determin-
cd definitely to keep hands or. But one
motive could induce the government to
change this policy and that would be q
desire to protect our enormously valu-
able commerce with China from the
danger OF being completely cut off
through the gradual extension OF the
lease-holds- of European nations over
the whole Chinese sea coast. So long as
our trade is let alone or Is At least al
lowed fair opportunity for development
and is not made the subject Of dis
elimination, so long will the United
States government refrain from any
interference in Chinese affairs.
Mr. Conger has reported that Picking
has been unusually quiet during the
past winter.

Latest Thing in Combines.

CLEVELAND. O., March 6.-The lat
est thing in the way Of combinations
is a joining of the Federal Steel COM
pnny with the shipbuildinG interest OF
the great lakes and the Atlantic sea-
board. Already there has been talk of
n shlpbuilding combination affecting
the yards on the lakes, and this Is said
to be preliminary to the larger consol-
idntion that Is to come later. The move
ment Is said to have been promoted
by several big stockholders of the Fed
eral Steel company. who are the own
ers Of the controlling interest OF the
Chicago Shipbuilding company, with
yards on the Calumet river. The oh
ject OF the proposed consolidation is
said to be TO give the Federal Steel
company sure market for some OF its
most important products and to enable
1t to control the process Of manufacture
from the iron mines to the shipyard.

Adduccd Mt the Cody Trial-Church
Records Proven to Have Been
Tempered With. +
ALBANY, NJ. Y. March 6.-The most
significant testimony edduced at the
Cody trial was that of David N. Carr
yaiho, q handwriting expert, who by .
chemical test In the presence Of, the
jury, showed that the record In the
book of the Cooperville church had
been erased and changed and that the
name OF Mary Brown, the supposed wife
of Jay Gould, had been written over n
blank space: the word 'illegltimate"
changed to Legitimate" and in the
place where the name of the mother Of
the illegitimate child had originally
been written was interpollated the
name Jay Gould"
This proof, in connection with the
strong testimony OF Mrs. Hoyle, OF
RoUse's Point, to the effect that the
original Sarah Ann Brown was dead.
and that the present Mrs. Angell the
supposed pretender to the name and
family OF Gould, was then only niece
of the woman who was mentioned in
the already disputed birth notice, put
the case of the defense In u nearly
hopeless condition.
1t Is intended, however, by the de-
fense, to prove that although basis for
the claim against the Goulds never
really existed. Mrs. Cody believed in
the merit of her case. having been
buoyed UP and encouraged by two
lawyers, William McMurtrle Speer and

MADISON, Wis, March 6.-Prof w.
r. Wood, of the University Of Wlscon-
sin, the originator of the electrical
thaw. has n new method Of photograph
ing in natural colors.
Prof. Wood rcproduces the colors by
dlffraction, method not hitherto tried,
and though at present the production Of
the first finished picture is somewhat
tedious. duplicates can be printed as
easily us ordinary photographs are
made.
The pictures are on glass, and are not
only colorless, bu; almost Invisible
when viewed in ordinary lights, but
when placed in viewing apparatus,
consisting of convex lens on light
frame, show the colors of nature with
great brii!iancy. Prof. Wood to-day
said: THE finished picture is simply n
diffraction grating of variable spacing.
In other words. It Is a transparent film
OF gelatine with Very fine parallel and
and equi-distant lines on II, about 1000
to the inch on the average. The colors
depend solely on the spacing between
the lines and are pure spectrum colors.

Kipllng took to his bed It Is not de-
flnitely known whether the news OF the
death OF his child was communicated to
Mr. Kipling, but Il was generally be-
lieved that his condition is such that
the physicians Will not tell him until no

In all probability the body OF little
Josephine will be taken to the Kipling
home In Vermont for burial. but no de-
faite arrangements have yet been
made. 1t was decided not to inform

It was said at the hotel this morning

"Mr. Kipllng has done well during
the past twenty-four hours. Now that
resolution is almost complete, he has
some discomfort from the more free
