PEACE AT SHENANDOAH

Yesterday. The statement is as follows:
"Vrom information l have received
from those who have investigated the Sit
uation it appears that the shooting on
the part of the sheriff and his deputies
was entirely uncalled for inasmuch as
the strikers had not injured single
member of the sheriff's posse; and the
circumstance forcibly illustrates the
ruthless disregard the sheriff and his
deputies have for the lives OF persons
whom it was their plain duty to place
under arrest if they had violated any OF
the laws Of the State of Pennsylvania.
The Governor in calling out the State
troops has, in my Judgment, acted incon-
siderately, and without a thorough in
yestigation. / am confident that the min

EVILS OF IMPERIALISM HIS THEME
Republican Indifference to the Fate Of the South
exsa African Republic lis It Not an Index
of Ind ference to Our
Own !?
(By the Associated Press.)

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 22.-William J.
First Congressional district in this State.
He started out early in an automobile,
intending to make three speeches before
returning to Lincoln late tonight. The
first stop was made at the little town of
Waverly, in Lancaster county, where he
spoke at 1870 o'clock. In his speech at
that point, which is only twelve miles
from Lincoln, the Presidential candidate
talked in familiar strain as to old
neighbors. Mr.. Bryan did not attempt
to deliver formal speech but he talked
to the people for half an hour or more
concerning the issues, dwelling especial
ly on imperialism and militarism.
At Firth Mr.. Bryan addressed crowd
composed largely of Holland Dutch, and
he was introduced by speaker in the
Dutch language His speech was in the
main an argument against the policy OF
the Administration in the Philippines.
He said that after travelling more or
less over the United States he was salts
fed that the country was big enough
without taking in the Philippine Islands.
He declared that the Republican policy
was of a character calculated to strike
at the very principles of government,
and he contended that if we were to have
imperialism we must have large stand
ing army and that the Republican party
meant to maintain large army was made
manifest by the increase already estab-
lished.
Mr.. Bryan said that the Filipinos had
always stood ready to give us coaling
station at Manila, but" he said, 1.-The
trouble is that we have wanted to hold
all the land, to see whether there was
any coal there" and, in the language of
a member of Congress, it was, he said,
significant that one of the first acts of
the Government after Dewey's victory
was to give instructions to ascertain
whether there was coal in the archi-
pelago.
Mr.. Bryan closed with a reference to
the situation in South Africa, giving a
graphic picture of it and strongly con-
demning 1.-THE Administrations want of
sympathy" He declared that Indifference
so great as to the fate of the South
African Republic might be justly regarded
as an index to the state of mind concern
ing our own Republic.
After his speech at Firth Mr.. Bryan
drove to Haitian, distance Of nine miles,
and there made the last speech Of the
day.

TRUSTS HERE AND ABROAD.
jerks Finds Conditions Pretty Much the Same
in America and Europe,
(By the Associated Presg.)

Washington, Sept. 22.-Professor J. w.
jerks, of the Industrial Commission, who
has been in Europe for some months
studying the trust problem there, reports
that he found the trust situation in Eng
land and on the Continent about the
same as in this country, though it was
not causing as much public comment. The
industrial consolidation there has been
forced by the same causes, according to
Professor jerks. as in this country, name
ly, severe competition and small profits
of the individual concerns He says that
the methods practiced consist in dispen-
sing with number of employees, espe-
cially superintendent, statesmen and
clerical force when the combination is
effected and as the combinations abroad
usually control so per cent to 90 per cent
of their product and in some cases all of
the market, it is possible for them to put
up prices practically at will.
''In England, says Professor jerks, it
is generally believed that publicity is
the only protection against aggressive
industrial combinations and many prom
inent men think that the Government
can go no further than this

SALISBURY IS WITH GERMANY.
Such is the Belief But He May Not Answer
Berlin Just Yet.

Copyright 1900 by the Associated Press)
London, Sept. 22.-Lord Salisbury has
not yet answered the German proposal,
nor has he even discussed it's terms with
his advisers. 1t is likely that seVerai
DAYS will elapse before Great Britain puts
herself on record regarding the sugges-
ton of Emperor William AS Lord Sails
bury is the sole arbiter, and as he has re-
Trained from mentioning the matter to his
intimates, it is, naturally, impossible den-
nitely to forecast the nature of Great
Britains reply. Those persons who are
generally in Lord Salisbury's confidence
surmise guardedly that he will fall into
line with Germany, though he may sug-
gest slight notifications of the stringent
conditions Moreover it is believed that
the German note may prove source of
somewhat lengthy exchange of communi-
cations before the concensus of the
opinions of the powers is ascertained, and
even then individual powers might be
brought to change their views in the in
terest of harmony No inkling of the
nature of Washington's attitude had
reached Downing street this morning, ex-
cept through press dispatches. The feel
ing prevails at the Foreign Office that
America IS so close to the election that
she cannot be expected to take in the i'm
mediate future really serious part in re-
gard to China, either as deterrent or as
an aggressive factor and interest in the
announcement from Washington conse-
quently wanes. In other words, it is now
believed that if the European powers can
unite under Germany's lead the United
States, even if dissenting from the line Of
policy adopted, would be only a passive
objector.
