IS " AN OLD Mlin?
How His Age Compares With That
of Other Notables of the World.

Brooklyn Eagle: Admiral Dewey has
lately been calling himself an old man,
and so some OF the papers which have
been commenting on the proposition
TO give him u home in Washington have
said that Il man of his age would prefer
to live away from the eXcitements oil
the national capital. The fact is that
the admiral is not old. He has reached
what the naval regulations call the re-
firing age, and his characterization OF
himself as old is, doubtless. ths sur
vival of am impression which he re
go on the retired list till he had passed
the days of his usefulness and was IN

TO PREVENT STREET CAR STRIKES
Bishop Potter to Organize a rcrma.
ncnt Mediation Council.

Bishop Potter to Organize a Perma-
ncnt Mediation Council.
New York, Aug. 2-Bishop Potter has
advised the leading member of the So
cial Reform club hat he is now prepared
to take UP the work of organizing d per-
manent council of mediation and concil-
iation with the purpose of preventing
strikes Ny the surface railway employes
in New York. Edward King, of the Social
Reform club, in speaking of the matter,
said:
'It is quite true that Bishop Potter
meditates organizing such a board. He
He had intended sending a communica-
ton to the papers on the subject OF con-
citation just about the time 1t was re-
ported thai he was to arbitrate the re-
way companies and their employees. His
position then was that it was almoet
hopeless to expect aIbitration, and be,
by u labor man, through a newspaper
Friendly to the strikers, to become an
5 5s1istt to Sec cur 1Sa his Tej1 SaMsya g the ,bet capt. II
writing to one or two newspapers which
have the confidence of capital he might
thereby secure some permanent mode Of
arbitration, and it was to this end he in
tended communicating with the press.
Seth Low. Felix Adler and Bishop Pot
ter are the three men who have been Sc
lecteQ Dy cOntenQlnS parties heretofore as
arbitrators, and they are al prominent
OH the present board of arbitration and
conciliation, which was originally organ
lied by the labor people in connection
with the church association for advance
ing the interests of labor. These men,
and the majority of the board us we'll,
object to offering their services in strikes
which lave taken place, except at the
request of both the parties concerned, as
they feel that otherwise they would be
deemed not only oficious. but also to be
seeking publicity.
'.The council Bishop Potter seeks to or
ganiZe is to consist of representatives of
the different surface railway unions, to-
getller with the presidents of all the rail-
way companies. His purpose is. on the
to the public which is attendant upon a
strike. and equally on the other the suf-
fering of the strikers and their families.
He also thinks that in many instances the
employees nave not been treated with ex-
act fairness, and that if the employers
of the grievances 1t would result in their
saving great expense, If they would treat
with Their employees directly and fairly.
Bishop Potter has been led to this view
by the success that has attended certain
industries which have avoided strikes for
boards Of arbitration and Cancellation.
Bishop Potter is at present the presi-
den OF the New York Council of Media
ton and Cancellation. which consists OF
siona men and representatives of trades
unions. This council was organized with
q view to avoiding strikes In industries
where the employees and the employed
showed a disposition TO submit their diff
ferences to disinterested arbitrators
about a better feeling tween labor and
capital.'

DIDN'T WANT TO WE'D AN EMPEROR
Bavarian Princess, Chosen by Fran
els Joseph, Takes Poison.

B~avarian Princess, Chosen by Fran
els Joseph, Takes Poison.
Munich, Aug. /. There have been
many reports during the last few
months that the aged emperor of Aus
tria intends r~emarrying, and most OF
these rumors have conferred around
some one of the numerous healthy
young princesses of the house of l,a-
varia. Naturally there has been much
gossip concerning the subject and the
following story is freely repeated in
court and society circlaSs. The alliance
r ns1me is v 1hs n1ns'5 SO of rs 4tssy.ia and na-
GUS intermarriages, and the emperor,
Francis Joseph, naturally sought here
for a new wife in the hope that there
might be an heir to the Austrian
throne. His choice fell upon Princess
Adelgonde Marie Augustine Therese,
eldest daughter of Prince Louis, and
granddaughter of Prince Regent Luit-
pold, who rules in place of the mad
king, Otto. The princess is III years
old; the emperor will be 20 his next
birthday.
lhe princess gave u tacit consent to
the engagement arranged by her
elders, and preparations were made
last month for her to go to Vienna,
where formal announcement of a be-
trothal would be made.
The night before leaving Munich
the princess locked herself in her room
and read over a numDer of letters
which had been concealed in a secret
drawer of her desk. For several hours
she wept over these missives and the
photograph OF a go%od-looking officer of
high family and rank which accom-
panied them. She finally burned the
letters, but accidentally let fall the
photograph.
Then the Princess Adelgondc drank
poison which she had previously OBJ
tanned and-fell upon her bed. But the
poison did not kill her. ii put her into
a state of scmi-consciousness and
caused such pain that she groancd and
screamed aloud. The family and serv-
ants were aroused and physicians
summoned. By daybreak the young
princess was out of danger, but a Sc
rious illness of several weeks duration
followed. On recovery, the princess
was sent to the royal summer palace
at Leutstetten, where she now is UNI
der strict surveillance. The alliance
with the aged emperor of Austria is
off. The officer is allowed no favors
whatever. None of the royal family
knew of the attachment of the princess
for him until the night of her attempt
ed suicide.

Michigan Man Fears the
War Will Iniure the
Republicans.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Senator Muir
rows, of Michigan, in an interview
with a Post reporter, said:
ut is my judgment that if the wal
in the Philippines is still in progress
next year and the end is not then in
sight the situation will be to the dis.
advantage of the republican party.
The only hope for the party and the
country, l might add, is in a speedy
change of conditions in the Philip
pines. Unless the war in the Philip
pines speedily ends, it will become am
important political factor, and its con-
tinuance will make the outlook for
republican success uncertain to say
the least. If 1 could have had my way
we would have simply taken a coaling
station or a base of supplies in the
island of Luzon; we would not have
paid a penny to Spain, and we would
have secured our foothold in the cast
without the sacrifice of life and
money. | believe in finding new mar
kets for II people, who are the great
est producers the world has known,
and the orient doubtless offers us a
great opportunity.
No II yet knows what POSSIBLE
tiles are to be afforded by China,
which seems now to be staggering to
her fall. If there is to be a great de-
velopment in that direction l certain
ly want the United States 10 have a
share. At the same time, we must not
overlook the fact that we may run
counter at any to England,
France or Germany, and 1 believe that
England, now apparently SO friendly,
Will strike at us the monlen we cross
her threshold. More than this, | say
frankly hat if our participation in
the eastern trade is to be purchased
at the cost of an indefinite war in the
Philippines, we will pay Il very large
price for what we receive"
How would you meet the present
situation?"
THE president is acting wisely, in
my opinion, i'm ~endeavoring to restore
peace and order in the Philippines by
sending an increased army to the ISL
ands. We must remember, however,
that although we have now been fight
ing some time we have conquered a

German Socialism.

st. Louis Globe-Delnocrat: Social
ism, of course. as understood i'm Ger
many, is a protest against the repres-
sive legislation and spirit of the gov
eminent parties. Some American
papers compare the socialists of Ger
many to the populists of the United
States. This is grossly unjust to the
socialists. The socialist leaders are
among the most scholarly and practi-
cal men in the empire. The abuses
which they fight are real. Their pro-
gram is far less extreme and subver-
sive than is commonly supposed in
this country. Many of them are re
publicans i'm sentiment, though not
all of them. Their program is not
Utopian. intellectually and morally
the socialists of Germany stand inn
mcasurably above the Donnellys,
Wharton Bankers. Aliens, Cyclone Da-
vises and the rest of the American
populists. They are n growing po-
litical sect i'm nearly every European
country. Wherever they exist they
are the resolnte foes of prcrogative
and r~eactionism. This is particularly
true of Germany. Apparently, too,
they are destined to be a powerful fac
tor in the politics of that country. not
w~ithstanding the great number of
parties which exist in it. and the ten
dency and temptation of the parties
on which the government relies to
make combinations against them.
