High Wages I'm 1000.

Labor Commissioner Cox has again
contributed his share to the prosperity
literature of the day. The present con-
tribution is in the form of a report on
the factory inspection. 1t is not a
complete report, but is a comparison
of several reports showing advance
ment in the condition of the laboring
men in the factories. In 1898, it is
stated, the average wages paid in the
factories of the state was 81. 80 per day;
in 1894, SIPS; in 1895, Sl32; in 1896,
s1.2s; in 1897, ST.. IS; in 1898, s1.37; in
1890, 81. 80; in 1900, probably, S1.41.'

Indians Fjected and Houses Burned

The Indians of the Indian village at
Burt lake, Cheboygan county, are
homeless. The land which they lived
on was sold for taxes two or three
years ago, and on Oct 4, 1890, they
promised to go away the next spring,
if the writ of assistance granted by the
circuit court was not served and they be
allowed to stay. A few of them went
away, but some remained and finally
had to be evicted and have their for
mer homes burned down.

Nearly twenty years ago congress
passed a special act giving an $50
pound cannon to a Grand Army post
at Attleboro, Mass, and the piece was
mounted on the top of a tall granite
shaft as a soldiers monument. Re-
Gently a gang of thieves carted the
cannon away in broad daylight, and
parts of it have just been recovered
from junk dealer who innocently pur-
chased the same. Most of the metal
has been melted up and run into vari-
Gus kinds of castings.

Food Commissioner Grosvenor in his
monthly bulletin, issued on the 10th,
discusses the subject of prosecutions
for selling adulterated milk, a subject
which has kept him pretty busy for
several weeks During the warm
months of July and August in 1899,
the commissioner says, over $500 sam
pies of milk in cities and villages hav-
ing no city inspection of milk were ex-
amined without the discovery of sim
gle sample of milk in which preserva-
tives had been used. This year, how
ever, travelling salesman, represent
ing a house engaged in putting out a
so-called milk preventative, came into
the state. Inspectors were put. upon
his track. The presence of formalde-
hyde and other milk preservatives de-
leterious to public health were discov-
cred and number of prosecutions re-
suited in conviction and the payment
of fines. As TO the inspection in De-
troit, ii is stated that over 70 per cent
of the samples collected were found TO
contain formaldehyde. The commits
sioner complains that the Detroit board
of health has allowed the dealers who
were prosecuted access to their records
for the purpose of proving their in
nocence.

A llfe-size statute of Apollo, which
by its style is supposed to date from
the Fifth century, B. c., has Just been
found near Athens. 1t is said to be
in an excellent state of preservation.
The find is an important one, for the
figure is larger and finer in work
manship than the statute which Is
treasured in the Munrich museum, and
1t has many claims to a place in tie
first rank of antique sculpture.

An explosion took place in the four
story brick building occupied by Wit
chell, Sons & CO., as shoe factory at
10 jefferson avenue, Detroit, on the af-
ternoon OF the 10th. A puff of smoke,
which followed the explosion, was
blown clear across the street, and in
an instant the third and fourth floor
of the building were mass of flames.
These two floors were the work rooms
of the factory and in them there were
some 30 TO IS men, boys and girls.
They had but little chance TO save
themselves. Two men met death, one
by trying to jump to place of safety
and the other suffocated, while dozen
were burned more or less by the flames
which followed the explosion before
they could move. A mass of flames
and smoke rushed up the elevator shaft
and the stairway was cut off. There
was rush for the windows Men
plunged headlong from the front win
dows and girls jumped from the back
windows into the alleys. The prop
erty loss is placed at S24, 050, which is
nearly all covered by insurance.

London, June 1.-THE crisis in the far
east has thrown even the Transyaal war
somewhat into the background in general
interest, though the effect of the Chinese
situation on the struggle in South Africa
is subject of some speculation which
centers in strong belief that General
Lord Roberts is busily negotiating with
President Kruger and General Botha III
regard to terms of surrender After the
repeated declarations made here and by
the British generals at the front on va
rious occasions that unconditional surrpn.
der alone would be accepted, this may
appear doubtful. But with the urgent
need to be freed as soon as possible to
the greatest extent in South Africa. in
order to be able to throw all possible
vigor into the dealings with the Chinese
Crisis, 1t would not be unnatural for Lord
salisbury to consent to some peace nego-
tlationS. if President Kruger. desiring IL
save appearances, may thus be persuaded
to acknowledge the inevitable sooner
than he would otherwise. Every day

1t is the same old fight.
What is the committees duty? Let us
see.
The Addicks people are perfectly will
ing to submit all questions to the vote of
the Republicans OF the State. The du
Pont people are not. The latter are in
the minority, as shown by recent elec.
tions, but they persist in opposing Ad-
dicks personally. They do not like him.
Their attitude is very similar to that as
sumed bv one Dave Martin and one
William Finn, of Pennsylvania, as re-
CARDS Quay. Martin and Finn don't like
Quay, hence they persist in boiling con-
yentions and in trying to wreck party
organizations. Brother du Pont, down
in Delaware, detests Brother Addicks,
and until Brother Addicks is bowed out
OF the game Brother du Pont will not
play. Addicks is willing to split even
With du Pont, but du Pont will not do
anything bnt sulk.
The duty Of the committee, therefore,
is plain. 1t is to bring the two factions
together for the good Of the Republican
party if this can be DONE II one faction
refuses to shake hands, then let that fac
tion be ignored. Mr.. Addicks has acted
fairly and has agreed to meet his oppon-
ents more than half way. He ought to
have the ear OF the committee ii Mr.. du
