SAFE.

The little child is safe from ordinary
dangers in the care Of the faithful dog.
But neither the dogs fidelity, nor the
mothers love a guard a child from
those invisible foes that Turk in air,
water and food-the germs of disease.
Children need to be specially watched
and cared for. When there is loss of
appetite, lassitude and listlessness in a
child, an attempt should be made to re-
vive the appetite and rally the spirits. In
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
parents have found an invaluable medi-
cine for children. It's purely vegetable
character and absolute freedom from
alcohol and narcotics commend it to
every thoughtful person. 1t is pleasant
to the taste, unlike the foul oils and
their emulsions offered for children's
use. ~Golden Medical Discovery" makes
pure blood and sound flesh, and abso-
lutely eliminates from the system the
poisons which feed disease.

BECOMES GENERAL.

Machinists All Over the United States and
Canada tO BE Ordered Out.
CHICAGO, March 2O.-After the con.
ference between representatives of the
International Association of Machinists
and the administrative council of the
National Metal Trades association,
President James O'Connell of the union
declared that strikes would be called
Immediately in all parts of the United
States and Canada. Such strikes would
involve 100000 men and cause to be
shut down for an indefinite period
plants having an aggregate capital Of
millions of dollars.
Chicago labor troubles are responsible
for the disagreement which is expected
to precipitate the general machinists'
strike. Were it not for the fact that
leaders Of the machinists' union refused
to call off the strikes that now exist in
Chicago, Columbus, o., and Patterson,
n. j., the manufacturers and the lead
ers it is believed would have come to an
amicable agreement and arbitration
would have been
Permanently Established
between the National Metal Trades
association and the International Asso-
citation Of Machinists. The members Of
the executive board Of the Machinists'
union, however, have refused to call off
the Chicago strike, as they declared that
ifthey did the Chicago local union would
secede from the international a~ssocia-
ton. When the refusal of the machin.
lists to end the strike was presented to
the manufacturers they issued an ulti-
matum to the labor leaders and on their
refusal to agree to it's provisions all ne.
gotiations were broken off.
Before leaving the rooms in which
the joint conference was held President
James O'Connell Of the international
union declared that the union would be.
gin Immediately to call strikes in all
parts Of the country. After all the
large cities have been tied up strikes
will be called in the machine shops of
all the railroads in the country.

prolonged deliberation upon the Russian
demands for exclusive railway rights in

posed a compromise, whereby the rail.

Beveridge Desires 1t Understood
the Constitution Does Not
Extend,
Except AZ Congress Shall Delare.
Porto Rico Excepted in Set
Terms.
His Bill Directly Opposed to That
introduced by Senator
Davis.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Beveridge has offered the following sub
stitute for the tariff section of the Porto
Rican bill:
"All articles coming into the United
States from Porto Rico, or going into
Porto Rico from the United States shall
be admitted free of duty, but this act
shall not be construed as extending the
constitution of the United States or any
part thereof. over Porto Rico. and it is
hereby declared that the constitution of
the United States is not extended over
Porto Rico
Speaking Of the amendment offered,
Senator Beveridge said:
"We have followed the presidents
suggestion appropriating 5 $1,000, 900 for
the immediate relief or Porto Rico,
which is more than the house bill would
have given the island in the entire two
years of its life. This removes the rea.
son which members had for voting for
the bill, and restores US to the position
first announced by the president. The
object Of my amendment is the same as
that of Senator Davis amendment, but
the latter extends all of the taxation
and revenu provisions of the Constitu.
ton over Porto Rico, and when any part
of the Constitution is extended it is for
ever. 1t may be that experience will
demonstrate that we shall want to
change the laws of taxation of Porto
Rico, and if SO, l fear that the extension
of the taxing provisions of the Constitu-
ton would prevent us. On all questions
of power, congress should be left with
an absolutely free and ~unshackled
handD

 New Orleans, August 1S.-Compared with the closing of last Saturday futures here SLOW but a gain of about 10 points on Sep tember and about points on the winter months During the week dry, hot weather has generally been the rule in the South. As a result of this condition, the Texas crop prospects are growing brilliant, those or Arkansas and southeastern States roorer, while those of the Gulf States are somewhat better, though rain at any point now except in Texas would be welcomed.
 Official confirmation of the relief of the Legations in Pekin and less favorable Chronicle report than expected warranted A better market than we had today.
 Futures at Liverpool only gained 1-64ths, while spots were in poor demand. sales only 1000 bales at 1-32d advance. New Orleans, however, was inclined to do better, opening points up on December. selling as high as S17, but sold down as low as SIP. gain
