The Fidelity Must Fork Over.
(By the Associated Press.)


Richmond, Va, Nov. IAN interesting
case decided by the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals today was that of the
Fidelity and Casualty Company of New
York against the ST. Matthews Savings
Bank of Charleston, S. c., Judge Paul
wrote the opinion.
j. w. thinner, cashier, of the bank,
several years ago became a defaulter. The
Fidelity and Casualty Company was
surety on his bond for the sum of $780,
0C0. The company refused to pay on the
ground that the president and directors
of the bank had not exercised proper dill
gence in supervising the work of the
cashier. Suit was brought and special
master was appointed to investigate the
case and report. He recommended that
judgment be given in favor of the bank
for the sum of $7,047.S5 and interest from
September 1895.
Judge Simonton, who heard the case in
the United States Circuit Court, gave
judgment for this sum. The Fidelity and
Casualty Company appealed, and the
opinion of the lower court was unani-
mously affirmed with costs to the plain

FARMERS AGAINST THE TRUSTS.
Address of Worthy Master Aaron Jones to the

lBy The Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSS.)
Washington, Nov 14.-The thirty fourtli
annual. session of the National Grange,
Patrons of Husbandry, began here today
with good attendance and will continue
for a week or more. The chief feature
of interest today was the annual address
of Worthy Master Aaron Jones, of In
diana, who said that while agricultural
conditions are somewhat improved they
are not what they should be. The price
of what farmers had to buy, he said,
are too high compared with what they
had to sell and such remedial action
should be had as would cause an equit-
able adjustment of prices in all the lead
ing staples. He urged opposition to the
Ship Subsidy bill and spoke of the growth
of the industrial combinations until the
entire country is justly alarmed" He
urged an amendment to the Constitution
clear and express in it's terms. empower
ing Congress with the right and authority
to regulate corporations The inter- State
commerce law, the Grand Master argued,
should be amended so that all sections OF
the country could secure fair and equit-
able freight rates.

THE REIcHsrAG OPENS.
The Speech From thu Throne Deals Largely
With Events in China
(By the Associated Press.


Berlin, Nov 1.-THE Reichstag re- as
sembled today The speech from the
throne dwelt at considerable length on
the events in China which have excited
such deep emotion among civilized peo-
pie, saying:
"Fanatical hate and dark superstition
melted by unscrupulous advisers OF the
court, have driven misguided masses oil
Chinese to acts of atrocity against the
outposts of Western civilization ana
Christian worship dwelling peacefully IN
their midst
my Minister died at the hand of an
assassin, in courageous attempt to over
come the rising peril. The foreigners at
the capital saw themselves, threatened,
life and limb. These things of horror
united the civilized communities where
otherwise there was a divergence. All ma
tions against which the unparalleled on
slaught was directed drew closer. Their
sons fought with one mind, shoulder to
shoulder, even as yonder standards float
side by side. So the governments show
themselves in council united with the
sole wish to restore an orderly state of
things as speedily as possible. and, after
the punishment of the chief culprits, avert
a recurrence in the future of such a
disturbance of the peace of the world. "
In announcing that the relations Of
Germany with all the powers are good,
the speech recalls His Majestys sor-
row at the assassination of King Hum
bert of Italy, saying he was ''my ally
and dear friend, who fell a victim to a
damnable outrage
The speech then proceeds:
81 would sooner have consulted the
Reichstag on the measures in China but
for the necessity of prompt action and
the difficulty of furnishing reliable infor-
nation Whenever the Reichstag could
form decisions or estimate the expendi-
ture required the Government felt conf
dent that the representatives would not
refuse their subsequent sanction to the
necessary expenditure"
Turning to domestic matters, His Maj
esty said that in consequence of the nat
ural growth of the revenue and the in
creased taxation voted last session more
abundant funds were available in almost
every branch of life in the empire, es-
pecially for measures for the benefit of
workers and for the defence of the coun-
try. a customs tariff, he added, would
probably be laid before the Bundesrath
during the present session.
The speech concluded by announcing
various bills which would be introduced.
At the conclusion of the speech from
the throne, Emperor William was warmly
cheered and Count Won Buelow, the i'm
perial chancellor, formally declared the
session opened

ARBITRATION THE GREAT QUESTION
The B.st Means 10 Secure This in the Settle
men, Of Disputes B ,twsen Labor and
Capital Will Engage the Atten- {

lRx the Associated Pregs.l


Chicago. Nov. 1.-THE National Civic
Federation has issued the following an
nouncement calling national conference
to consider the best means to secure
Cancellation and arbitration in the settle
ment of industrial disputes:
mo phase of our modern industrial de-
velopment is more interesting than the
study and observation of the methods of
cancellation and arbitration applied dur
ing recent years to the adjustment OF
difficulties and grievances that constantly
arise between labor and capital.
Strikes and lockouts are perhaps a
greater waste of human energy and re-
sponsible for a greater loss of wealth to
society as a whole, than any other OBJ
structive factor connected with modern
ndustriaStSm.
public opinion itself has been indif-
ferent and uniformed as to the require
ments of this new age with it's rapid and
wonderful development in every depart
ment of our industrial life. Recognizing
the new claims arising from modern in
dustrial conditions, the National Civic
Federation will hold national conference
in Chicago on December 18th and 18th
to consider in all it's bearings the prin-
citples of Cancellation and arbitration.
at is the object of the National Civic
Federation to make the coming confer
cnce as practical as possible by bringing
together both the labor leaders and cap
tans of industry who are the most di-
rectly concerned and without whose good
will no system can be imposed.
1.-THE experience of the past will be
drawn upon and a critical examination
of all methods of Cancellation and arbi-
tration at present in vogue will be made. !"
