NOT SPEAKING TO HIM
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
 MT. Grover Cleveland, it is reported in a dispatch, is mot satisfed'' with the Dem ocratic platform.
 Which reminds us An embarrassed guest of narrow religious experience was once suddenly asked to say a blessing at a table, and as the speaker closed his mumbled, sentence of grace a man at the other end of the table broke in: T couldn't hear a word you said" "I wasn't talking to you, sir" was the prompt reply.
 Our Impression is that the Kansas City convention was not addressing it's remarks to MT. Cleveland.

dent Whitaker and Director Mcclure

ment:

have to announce that the company has
declined to submit the question of the
reinstatement of the men to arbitrat ton"

its membership of 100000, against the
Trensit Company and fight the issue out
II Il takes five years 20 do 1t.

London, June 17.-There Is no news re-
ported from the seat of war In South

PEACE BETWEEN THE POWERS.
Efforts Made Toward Preventing In
ternatiOnal War.

Washington, June 16.-It is learned in
authoritative quarters that the negotia-
tions relative to the Chinese crisis have
led to discussion of the larger subject
of so adjusting and harmonizing the ac-
tion of the several Powers interested as
to maintain complete equilibrium and as
sure the continued peace of the world.
The French authorities have been par
ticuarly active in urging that one of the
first consideration of any action was to
see that 1t tended towards maintaining the
balance between the countries interested
in the East, and there is reason TO be-
lieve that these representations have had
considerable influence in keeping any one
of the several nations from putting a pre-
ponderating military force in China, thus
leading TO counter action by some other
Power and ultimately to a general interna-
tional disturbance.
From the French standpoint, as stated
by those fully conversant with French
policy, the chief desire is to maintain
peace and union between the great Pow
ers, and If that can be accomplished,
France will consider that her best inter
ests, as well as those of the world at
large will have been served.
