of Labor to meet there next.
1t was decided to spend $4,000 to o.
ganize labor in Porto Rico.
The anti-scalping bill now befo- e
congress was denounced.
There was a hot argument over the
report recommending no action on the
resolution for a department of labor
with a cabinet representative. The
committees recommendation was fin
ally adopted, thus disposing of the res
olution.

Opinions From Both Sides.

Chairman Newman, of the Order of
Railway Telegraphers.
Chairman Newman says: This ac-
ton was taken at the suggestion OF
National President M. NJ. Dolphin, and
only after it was evident that the COM
pany would not listen to our gr1ev-
ances. We were compelled to take this
step to see that justice is done to the
members of our organization on the
Gulf system, and as a matter of pro-
lection to ourselves. If the Santa Fe
company cut wages and imposed other
burdens upon the operators on that
system, what is to prevent them from
doing the same thing here? This Is
not altogether in sympathy with the
Gulf operators.
My order caused over 1900 operators
to strike. There is one thing l am glad
of. and that is the fact that the men
are a unit in The matter. l am receiv-
ing kilograms from all points indorsing
my action. Just how long the strike
will continue is a matter hard for me
to determine. Under no circumstances
will we return to work until our griev-
ances have been adjusted in a manner
satisfactory to the members of the Or
ganization.
1.-The real grievance of the men on
the Gulf system, as given to me in a
special from National President Dol
phin, is a protest against a proposed
elimination of twelve stations for
wages at nineteen other stations. To
avoid the strike. the committee agreed
to accept Santa Fe rules, amended by
providing for eight consecutive hours
rest in each twenty-four. excepting in
cases of emergency. The clause de-
priving men of a hearing when dis
charged for insubordination was also
to be eliminated. Another demand
made was that there was not to be any
reduction in wages at any of the sta
tions for the present.
General manager Nudge.
General Manager Nudge says: The
telegraph operators have gone out in
sympathetic strike and have broken
their agreement with the Santa Fe
company. The agreement is that no
change should be made unless thirty
days notice was given. When the
men leave their desks and walk out
they break this agreement. The agree
ment was made in July
~
over rules and regulations. The wage
scale was up for consideration, but
the road agreed to arbitrate on that
point. The rules and regulations have
been up and were not settled. The
road would not agree to the rules ask
ed by the men and the strike resulted -
Vice President Barr.
]. H. Barr, third vice president. says:
tween the company and the operators
on any of the lines of the system 9TH
er than the Gulf line. The operators
employed on the lines west of Albu-
querque were working under an agree
ment made with the company Novem-
Der 15, 1900; the operators employed
on the lines east of Albuquerque (the
Gulf line not include, were working
under an agreement made July 1, 1900
Under both of these agreements the
company was entitled to thirty days
notice of a desire on the part of the
operators to cancel them. No notice
of strike was served on the compary.

GEORGE MANSON MISSING GRACE CHURCH CHIMES
NEW YoRK's WONDERFUL SET OF
BELLS.
They are Played by a Woman and Tell
Whether Weddings or Funerals are
Taking Place.

Grace church. New York, which you
have seen in THE Old Homestead" and
other plays, and which appears in many
novels, has the finest and heaviest
chimes of any church in the country.
They were presented by different mem
bers of the congregation, and have been
rung up twice a day-at 10 o'clock in
the morning, and in the afternoon
for many years, to the qualification Of
millions of people. On Sundays they
are rung six times, and on Easter they
scarcely cease. At weddings and fun
erals they furnish appropriate music,
and those living within sound of the
bells know what is going on in Grace
church by the messages they carry.
These great chimes have been played
by woman since 1S92-Miss Bertha
Thomass-the assistant organist of the
church, who is also the music teacher
in the parish school. Her father played
the chimes before her. and she learned
the art from him. She was the first
woman who ever attempted 1t, but one
/ of her students, Miss Gilmore, now
plays the chimes in Grace chapel.
! Opening from the vestibule on Broad
way, under the great tOwner is a mar
row little room formerly used as a clos
ct. Here is a keyboard, like that Of an
organ, but with only ten keys. Each Of
these keys is connected by wires, run
ming through a rubber tube, with one
of the bells in the steeple, and by press
ing ii the tongue of the bell will strike
the metal with as much force as could
be used in the ordinary bellrope. Miss
Thomas plays very slowly. She presses
her fingers with more force than would
be necessary upon a piano or an organ,
and it is at least a second before the
! sound of bell returns. Any tune can
! be played upon the bells that can be
/ played upon an organ, but those that
are composed of whole notes, or notes
of even length, sound better. Miss
Thomass says that her favorite is

SIrCCESSFUL CRITIC.

With the exception of Winston
Spencer Churchill, no writer has shown
to better advantage as critic OF the
South African war than Spencer
Wilkinson, his home colleague on the
Morning Post. From an almost un-
known civilian he has developed into
the leading military critic of London,
and his morning summary of the sltua-
ton in the Post-the predictions or
which are constantly verified-is read by
millions each day. He was born at
Manchester nearly fifty years ago. ana
had a distinguished oxford career. he
was afterwards called to the bar, but
later turned to journalism, writing the
leaders in the Manchester Guardian for
ten years. He was an ardent member
of the Volunteers, and published his
first book, "Citizen Soldiers" in 1884.

ENEMIES OF CANAL PROJEC'

ENEMIES OF CANAL BHOJ ~ l.
The Indications that the principal OPP
position to thee Hay Pauncefote treaty
is due to the lobbying of the interests
which want TO defeat the construction
of the canal on any conditions will hurt
the opponents of the treaty. ASIDE al
together from the merits OF the treaty
in it's present form, here is a desire
on the part of the overwhelming MAJOR
ity of the American people that the
canal be built across Nicaragua OF
some other part of Central America at
the earliest possible moment. This is
a consideration with which the enemies
of the treaty will have to reckon.
AT the time when the Clayton ulWer
arranpatnent was entered into there
was a strong feeling in the United
States that a canal should be pullt
across Nicaragua, and that sentiment
mas INCREASED in the lapse of years.
The reasons which exist for a short cut
between the two oceans have been mui-
tiplied many fold since then, and they
must continue to grow with the growth
of the counIry's population ana COM
merce. The Spanish war showed the
necessities for this waterway which
were not brought out in a practlcai
way until that time. The lessons OF
that conflict will not be forgotten.
Those who aim to defeat the canal
propect are working against the we'll
recognized interests of the American
people There is a strong and intelll-
gent determination in the United states
to build a canal across some point IN
Central America just as soon as II can
be conveniently done. The President
has voiced this purpose in his messages
to Congress. He had this necessity in
mird when the treaty now before the
Senate was being ratified. Whether 1t
is accepted in its present form or not
however, the American people want TO
have an interoceanic canal constructed
in the very near future. The interests
which are working against 1t are
bound to be beaten, whatever the rate
of the present treaty may chance to be-
The canal IS an American necessity
and the private corporations which m
agine they would be injured by II, ana
which are suspected to be at the mead
of the influences which are endeaVorlns
to prevent all canal construction by
striking Down the Hay treaty, VIII be
beaten. Under some conditions or oth-
er an American canal will be built De-
tween the two oceans, and its construc-
ton cannot long be postponed.-St.

LackawanDa and Western company,
through its attorney, Everett Warren.
had sfgnified its intention Of contribut-
ing $4,000 towards the proposed i'm
Hrovement, with the proviso that the
crossing be permanently closed.
The mayor further stated that the
officials of the Scranton Traction COM
pany, though they had been waited
upon some three weeks ago, had not
yet given definite answer as to how
much they would contribute towards
the viaduct.
Both of these announcements We're
reported to common council by Chair
man Tewkesbury, Of the common coun-
ell committee. Mr.. Calpin made a mo-
tion that when adjournment was mad,
1t should be till next Thursday night,
as by that time the Traction company
would have declared itself, and the
committee could be discharged. His
motion, however. found no supporters

tinue to Flourish.

The joint resolution Of councils direct
ing the mayor to proceed to remove
the nickel-in-the-slot gambling ma
chimes has now been in Mayor Moir's
hands for nearly two weeks. but no
action in the matter has been taker.
The mavor. as far back as three
months ago, when the machines began
to creep back into the city, expressed
a desire to remove them. He did not
do so. however, and councils took the
matter uD and by an almost unani-
nous vote in both branches he was
directed to remove them.
The machines paying ten, twenty
five. fifty cents and 81. have now been
supplanted in many instances by an
other type paying ten, twenty. forty
and seventy cents and s1.5O and 80. It
is said the odds are so much against
the player that it is almost impossible
for him to win.
