The DAILY EAGLE.
THURSDAY. SEPT. % 1901

A German couple who got off
the noon train here en- route to
Plantersville was greatly disturbed
to learn that they had alighted
and allowed the train to proceed,
taking with it their five year old
child. They were nearly heart
broken and entertained the grayest
apprehensions Of never seeing the
child again. As soon as the rail.
road officials learned Of the over
sight they wired the conductor at
Bryan to send the youngster back
by the next train, and in due time
they replied that he was in charge
Of the lost treasure.-Navasota Ex-

GROWING UNPOPULAR.
Kaiser's China Policy Not Approved
OF.

Berlin, October IA. - Germ any's
China policy is growing unpopular
among the great manufacturers in West
Germany, owing to the severe reaction in
business, the absence of orders and the
heavy fall in Industrial shares.
Most of the papers today discuss the
expression "World-empire'' used by En-
peror William in his speech at the laying
of the foundation stone of the imperial
museum at Saaleburg all denying that
Germany has any such Intention as might
seem to have been implied. The Vossische
Zeitung says that the time has passed
when mankind generally would tolerate
the hegamony of single power.
The Cologne Gazette, the National
zeitung, the Nord Deutsche, AlIgemeine
Zeitung, the BerlineT TagebIatt and the
Berlinger Post give utterance to similar
sentiment.
Referring to the action of the foreign
ENJOYS in Pekin, the National Zeitung
says: ''The ENJOYS have spoken. The
next step is to enforce their decisions"

Halifax, N. S., October 14.-Additional
disasters to shipping on this coast are re-
ported. The known list of vessels driven
ashore now mum bers thirty, mostly
owned in the province and New Found
land.
The loss all over the country in this
and neighboring provinces through terri
tic rain fall and washouts and damage to
orchards and buildings by heavy winds
will be very many thousands OF dollars.
The G. P. r.. r, wires connecting
Cape Breton with the rest of Nova Scotia.
are completely broken at the straights OF
Canso, where the cable was fouled by a
schooner dragging her anchor during
the severe gale. A large gang OF men
are at work to mend the break but as q
ten knot current runs through the
straight, several days will be consumed.
The Western Union cable was damaged
but not severely. AS 1t is the entire busi-
ness of Cape Breton is dependent upon
this one wire.
The American schooner Senat or Sauls
bury has arrived at Canso with decks
swept of everything movable including
dories and fishing gear. The Gloucester
schooner Mystery at Canso reports one
man lost at sea, The American schooner
Wetherell was ashore at Canso but came

article of necessity for the poor of New
York. l have no doubt, however, that
most Of the stockholders have invested In
it, simply as they would invest in any
other corporation. The striking point Is
that among the heaviest of its Investors
appears the Tammany Bryanite leaders
who in conjunction with Mr.. Bryan are
loudest in denouncing trusts. Hypocrisy
could be carried no further than it has
been carried by these men and their de-
tenders, In the Yammany State conven-
t1on In New York they denounced the ice
trust in their political capacity while in
their private capacity they were stock
holders in 1t and through their counsel
were doing everything to prevent it's dis
solution by the attorney general. Mr.,
Bryan Is now going to New York to be
the political guest OF Mr.. Croker. the
ice trust beneficiary. He is going there
to try to help Mr.. Croker get control of
the State of New York and bring it down
to the level of infamy to which Tammany
government has reduced the city OF New
York. Again 1t seems to be that this
needs no further comment than is i'm
piled in the statement of the facts.''

lieved of the constant presence of local
committees on the train, The practice in
most States is for committee from each
at which Mr.. Bryan is scheduled to stop,
to meet his train an hour or two before
their town is reached and ride in with
him. The consequence is that the train is
generally OvercroWded and Mr.. Bryan's
time and strength over-taxed In the
Ohio tour the State committee has been
represented from the various stopping
places have not been encouraged by the
State managers the result being to give
the national candidate far more time for
rest and reading and the preparation of
speeches than he ordinarily has The good
effect of all this is seen in the physical
condition of the candidate. He now bids
fair to be in excellent shape when he
reaches New ork.

MADE SURE OF DEATH.
A New York saloon Keeper Who Took
No Chances.

New York, October 14.-Henry Wilkens,
a Nassau street saloon keeper, killed him
self today. He was despondent over CON
tinued ill-health. Wilkens left his
home in Brooklyn in the morning after
kissing his wife several times When he
got to his saloon in this city he tele-
phoned an undertaken, telling him
friend of his was dead and the undertaken
would probably get the job of burying
him. At noon, he sent bootblack with
q note to Mrs. Wilkens and followed this
with another by a second boot black to
the undertaken. The two notes announced
his suicide and brought the wife and
undertaken to the saloon. Not being able
to get in the police were brought and
broke down the door. On the bar was a
note which read: "Body in the ice
box.''
WIIkens was found dead In the big ice
box in the cellar. The door of it was
shut tight and gas fumes hlled it.
The body hung by a piece of clothes
line from two hooks driven into a ioist
overhead. A 45 calibre revolver was tied
about his chest and rubber hose fas-
tened to the gas fixture, hung at his side.
The arrangement of the revolver showed
great care and pains. 1t was fastened
with piece of clothesl1ne, the strands of
which had been unwound and so fastened
to the weapon as to make it point almost
directly toward the man S heart, A yard
of Irvine, fastened to the trigger, had q
loop in the other end of it SO as to make
1t possible for Wilkens to slip his foot
into it and pull the trigger In that. He
had evidently stood on half barrel near
by, adjusted the rope and the revolver
and had turned on the gas and put the
end OF the tube In his mouth. He had
then stepped off the half barrel There
was bullet wound in his chest and two
cartridges in the revolver had been dis
charged.

Report of Commissioner of Labor
on Industrial Combinations.

Washington, October 14-Hon. Carroll
d. Wright, commissioner of LABOR, has Is
sued bulletin giving a summary of data
in previous publication on ''rrusts and
industrial combinations showing the
vate of wages in various occupations for
a period extending back in most cases
from the present year to 1891. The data
was secured directly from the pay rolls of
establishments in all sections OF the
country. The information received per-
tains to 48 establishments representing 20
Industries and 192 occupations. Those
items for which data for the whole peri
od were not given, were excluded from
consideration in the summary. All the
data included, except those for mining,
relate to manufacturing Industries, the
data relative to steam railroads and
street railways having been excluded
from the summary. The bulletin says
that while the date from which the table
Of wages was prepared do not afford the
basis for an strictly scientific calcula-
tion of relative wages, a careful examina-
tion of the figures leads to the belief tnat
they are fairly representative and un-
doubtedly approximate very closely the
actual conditions for the whole country
The summary shows as follows, the
average of wages for 1891 being taken as a
basis and representing 100:

The Portland daily press., 1900-10-15
Relative Wages.

The bulletin concludes as follows:
"It may be stated that during the years
in which the course of wages declined,
the rates of 1891 and 1892 in many in.
stances remained unchanged and in like
manner during the last few years in
which the general course of wages has
been upward, the wages in these in
stances have not, OF course, responded to
the general rise. In other instances the
per cent OF decrease was notably large
during the years of depression, while dur
ing the last two years of the period, the
reverse is true and much larger increase
really took place than that indicated by
the table. In other words. wages IN
some instances show but little fuctua-
tion, while in other instances they are
