FREIGHT HANDLERS

Threaten to Make serious Trouble in New
York-Efsort to Cripple the Pennsylvania
NEW YORK. July 8.-At a meeting OF
the striking freight handlers of the Penn
sylvania railroad piers on North River, it
was agreed that if the demands of the
men for an increase of wages from 1,
cents to 20 cents per hour were not COM
piled with this morning, the strikers now
out will be joined by the 1000 freight hand
lers employed by the Pennsylvania ON
pany in Jersey City. Representatives OF
the Baltimore & Ohio. Erie railroad and
other big lines, were present at the meet
ing and reported that the freight handlers
on all those lines were ready to go out or
a sympathetic strike at a moments notice
Eight hundred men attended the meet
ing.
1t was decided that the strike be con-
fined to the Pennsylvania company. as IL
vas thought that by Gripping its freight
service it would give in rather than see its
business go to rival lines. However, if the
Pennsylvania does not yield to-day. 1t was
said a general tie-up would result on the
piers of every big railroad company on the
North River front at both sides of the
river.
This will throw over 500 men out of work
and seriously affect business in this city.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-The steamer
Bertha arrived to-day from ST. Michaels
with 81 passengers and about N,0D,W0 in
gold. The largest amount owned by one
person is $4,000. The purser says that
there is wealth in the Cape Nome district
and declares tina there is no truth in the
stories of failure to find gold there.
Details of the loss OF he Bons exped1-

ty of seventeen people who left Port Town
sent Tune IL, 1888, for Kotzebue Sound, to
prospect for gold, only one survives, and
that is Mrs. H.. w. Bons, of Clay City, Ky.
For twelve weeks she watched over her
sick husband, with no one to aid her, and
when he died she was left alone in the will
derness. After walking nine miles she
found a cabin in which three fishermen
were wintering. She became sick of sour
by, was tenderly cared for and finally
reached st. Michaels and took passage for
San francisco on the Bertha. She will go
to Bay City, Mich, where she has a moth
er, brother and sister.

OrIS'S FAIRY SIOEIES

A highly digusted veteran soldier
writing to the New York World con-
corning the administration second
term syndicate's military press CEN
sorship in the Philippines, wants to
know how many of your people who
read the account of the fight in the ISL
and of Negros last Wednesday be-
tween seventy men of the Sixteenth
Infantry and four hundred and fifty
B~abaylones, in which there were one
hundred and fifteen Babaylones killed,
many wounded and one taken prison.
er, and only one killed and one wound
ed of the Sixteenth Infantry, will be-
lieve it?"
Since the revelation of the charac-
ter of the Manila censorship there are
probably very few people, indeed, who
will place the slightest credence in
official dispatches" from that source.
AS to the bald yarn of last Wednes-
days battle the correspondent quoted
goes on:
They claim it was close fighting with
bayonets and dubbed muske-s and captur-
ing lots of arms. Each soldier must have
killed six. besides wounding a lot. With
out standing the B%abaylones up in a row
with their arms tied behind them, how
could they have accomplished such a feat?
/ served all through the civil war for four
years, but l saw nothing like that or even
read of it. II any one else ever did, I
should like to know where"
AT that rate of fighting" adds this
disguised old soldier with fine sarcasm,
Gen. Otis will not need any more
troops"

Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.

A BEER TRUST AND THE BEER TAX.
ton that there is a combine on foot to
control breweries having an annual
capacity of 10, 900, 900 barrels, or about
one-fourth of the total annual output
In the United States, will be interest
ing. 1t is estimated that more than
500, 600, 900 will be represented in the
new concern.
1t will strike most people that a beer
combine controlling only a quarter of
the output will not De OF very great
Importance in controlling the situa-
ton, hence there is no need for the
devotees of the amber fluid to become
alarmed lest the price be raised or the
size of a schooner" be reduced.
But despite the fact that it controls
but a quarter of the output of beer, it
is said "the syndicate is SO powerful
in its membership that already plans
are being made for a strong campaign,
to begin with the opening of Congress
in December, for the repeal of that
portion of the war tax which increased
the internal revenue on beer from 81
to 81 a barrel"
This battle will be interesting, in
deed, and will demonstrate if the syn
dictate is more powerful than the ad-
m~inistration's treasury deficit. If it
succeeds in breaking down the addi-
tional tax of 81 a barrel on beer for
war purposes, there may be a ray of
hope for other legitimate industries,
which may present a combined front at
Washington. However, according to
the long established Hanna-McKinley
rule in these matters, the members of
the new combine may expect little or
much, according to the amount of their
contribution to the Hanna corruption
fund. The second term syndicate isn't
in business for it's health.
The beer war tax will be a difficult
thing for the administration to give
up, however. 1t is probably the most
easily collected tax there is, and yields
v e. $35, 900, 900. The administrations
expenses last year ran ahead of it's
revenues about $1OO, 900, 900, and the
Philippine war expenses will probab-
ly be doubled the ensuing year. Hence,
1t will be seen that the administration
cannot afford to give up any of IT'S war
taxes. If it does it will have to make
1T up on some other industry. If any
thing, Congress will probably be
urged to INCREASE instead Of dimin-
ish the war taxes. The pull of the
brewery combine will have % be
mighty strong, or its campaign contri-
button tremendous, to overcome he
argument presented by the treasury
deficit.
The imperial policy of the admins
tration will make a great increase in
the revenues a permanent necessity.
There will never be a return to he
old scale of expenditures before the
Spanish war-which now look almost
r~idiculously small by comparison-un-
Til the present policy of the admins
tration is wholly abandoned, which
al never be so long as present iniu-
ences control the administration. Con-
s%equently, the prospect for the striking
out of the additional tax of 81 a bar
rel on beer for wal purposes is lot
good, unless, as we have said, the
brewers have some not generally
known special pull with the second
term syndicate.
