Will Allow Local Conditions
To Govern
in THE MATTEROF STRIKE
Several Branches of the Business Win
Not be Included in the Order
Calling the Men Out-Benefits to
the Order.

Chicago, March 2O.-Representatives of
the international association Of machin-
lists say that local conditions in the var
ious cities where the machinists are dis
satisfied, will govern the calling of a
general strike. The president, Mr.. O'Con-
nell, and his five assistants have left for
the principal centers of industry to CON
fer with their men before issuing orders
to go out. Cleveland, Philadelphia and
Paterson, N. j., where the men are said to
be becoming restless under the delay in
the strike order, will be visited as soon
as possible.
AS estimated by President O'COnnell
1856, 900 machinists will be affected by a
national strike. In the New England
states there are $4,000 men working at the
trade and it is expected this section of the
country will be the battle-ground. The
leaders say the strike will extend only to
the factories and shops which manufac-
ture mining, pumping, electric and print
ing machinery.
Railroad shops will not be included a:
present nor will large corporations, such
as the steel companies and the harvester
and reaper works. the pillow factories, the
bicycle factories and possibly s%hipbuild-
ing. In man of the cities where strikes
are threatened there are firms which have
contracts with the unions and these will
be lived up to whether or not strikes are
called.
For strike benefits and other expenses
of a great strike, the international assO-
citation of machinists has a fund of $15,-
900 which has always been kept in reserve
in fho national f~ao Fo,~
use and a reserve fund of $1O0, 600 n the
various local treasures. For strike bene.
fits the constitution provides hat single
men are to be paid 81 a week and married
men and single men with others depend
emit upon them for support $6 a. week..

Supposed Wreck.

San Francisco, March 19.-The steamer
Coquille River, which arrived today from
the north. reports that when she was off
Cape Blanco she spoke the British seal
ing schooner Allie Alger. and that the
latter vessel said she had passed through
a quantity of lumber and picked up a
white mattress when near the cape. The
Coquille River also passed through the
same wreckage after leaving the Alger.
1t is feared the lumber is from the brig
Tanner, which is now 90 days out from
Tacoma. The Tanner a lumber laden
and has been anXiously looked for for
some days.

Bishop Potter'S View.

New York. March 19.-BishOp Potter,
who has Just returned from a fye
months tour. which included visits to
Philippines, Japan and India. talk
ed to-day regarding his impressions.
Referring to the Philippine situation
Bishop Potter said he went to the islands
in an attitude of a~ntagonism. He declin-
ed tt say if his opinions ha& altered. but
said he recognized the question as a
purely academic one.
"Whatever we might have DONE" he
said. "a Eear or more back, there is but
one Trims Tor us to do row and that is to
hold on to the isls nds and assume the re-
sponsibility for tlleir future. The mill
tary administration of the islands is be-
yond praise. General Otis has not recelv-
ed half the recognition to which he is en-
titled. His position has been one of ex-
treme delicacy. New questions are aris-
ing daily and he has handled them all
With discretion. One thing is evident,
and that is that the Filipinos are in NO
condition for self-government. If a civil
government We're imposed it would need
a large military force to maintain it.
Several friends of Aguinaldo," contin-
ued the bishop, "called upon me in Hong
Kong and told me that they We're salts
undertaking. The better class of Fill
pines are satisfied that American occu-
patton means increased prosperity, and
are not raising any objections"
Bishop Potter told of a visit he made te
a factory in Manila, where about $50 Fill
ipino boys and girls We're spinning cottor
cloth. The overseer told him they haG
learned to work the looms in about six
weeks, whereas Irish and Scotch children
took as many months before they were
of any service. The natives seemed tt

The state treasurer, as commanded
by the constitution, simply declined to
cash these pay accounts although
he says in his letter that every mem
Der of the legislature and employee
thereof knew that there was plenty
of money in the treasury with which
to pay all demands against the state,
and that warrants to cover the
amounts due them would be issued as
soon as the appropriations were
made" The state treasurer simply
obeyed the law. When members OF
the legislature desire their pay the
law provides the methods by which i6
can be easily secured State Treasur-
Ct Pitts in this case pursued the
course which should invite commenda-
ton rather than carping criticism.
1t may not be the occasion for sur
prise that some republican candidates
for Office should seem to desire to

treasury fixed by the constitution,
but am sure that the taxpayers %

of aiding in the construction of trunk
| line railroads. Whenever one of the
aided roads established to the salts
faction of the governor that its stock
holders bad actually expended a GER
tain amount for construction and
equipment, the governor, as author
lied by law, issued and delivered
bonds to such road to the amount of
one-half Of the money so expended,
the state retaining the first lien on all
the property Of the railroad compa-
MES including the lands granted by
congress. 1t is obvious, therefore,
that no loss was possible except
through fraud. Eight of the trunk
lines of the state were thus bOnd-aid-
ed, and all Of them, except the Hanni-
bal d st. Joseph railroad, defaultcd
in the payment of interest on the
bonds at the beginning or early in
the civil war.
No efforts were made by the state
during the war to collect the amounts
due the state. These railroads cost
$47,402 900, and were amply sufficient
to secure the payment of the indebt-
edncss due the state. Indeed, Gov.
Fletcher, in his inaugural address, in
January, 1865, declared that they
were "amplc security for the amounts
advanced to them respectively
In 1868, during the administration
of Coy. Fletcher, the republican leg
islaturc "sOld" the states liens on
the railroads, then amounting to $751;
735,6l0, to various republican politi-
clans and promoters, and realized for
the state but ,13l,49G, a loss of $685.
G0l,34i to the tax payers. The So
called "salcs" of the railroads by the
republican legislature involved a very
simple process. Where the property
had already been sold" by Gov.
Flctchcr's commissions to the lowest
and worst bidders, as was done in the
case Of the Iron Mountain and Cairo
&c Fulton roads, the purchasers
were released from paying the pur.
chase money, and where no such sales
had been made by commissions, the
liens held by the state were trans.

consideration of triiling sums OF

Ry the act Of March 81, 1865, the repub-
lican administration released the lien
on the Pacific road (now the Missouri
Pacific) for $5,000,000, the states lien
being $40, 7s0, 600. The lien of $4,000, 900
