SOUTHERN RAILWAY MACHINISTs
Awaiting Orders to Strfke-A State.
ment Sent Them by Mr.. Cannon

Washington, May 29.-Vice President
Cannon, of the Southern railway, to-
day said that so far none of the ma
chinists of that system had stopped
work except those at Charleston and
that he had taken no steps to fill the
places of the Charleston men, think
ing it probable that they would retur
to work.
Mr.. Cannon has sent put a notice to
be posted on the doors of the machine
shops of the line giving some of the
details of his conference Monday with
the committee representing the ma
chinists and explaining the differences
which developed over the demand for
a nine-hour day. Referring to the
threat to close the shops Mr.. cannon
says in his circular:
THE management, believing in the
intelligence n honesty of purpose of
the shop men, has no fear as to what
action they will take under such cir
c~umstances. The unreasonable action
of the misguided committeeman, who
seemed to think that they should pre-
sent the dictates of an outside organ-
ization rather than the views and
wishes of our own men, has possibly
put the matter in such shape as to
lead to a misunderstanding. This COM
m~unication is sent to o to guard
against such a result. The proceedings
of the meeting will be sent you tomor-
row and if, after reading them, you
consider it desirable to have another
meeting, it will be my pleasure to so
arrange"
Knoxville, Tenn, May 29.-President
B. F. Henry, of the Southern railway
machinists said today that he believed
the manhiniStS would sanTna tn forms
without a strike after another confer
ence with Mr.. Cannon"
A bulletin was posted at the Ions
dale shops here, asking the men to take
no action until full report of the COM
ing conference.
| President Henry said he had order
| ed the Charleston men to return co
work as their going out was due to a
~misquotation of a telegram. He has
| received reports from m~achinists at
| Salisbury, Knoxville and Charleston
that they have voted to strike.

Senator McLanrin's Card Denouncing
Senator TilIman

Charleston. S. c., May Ex-senator
John L. McLaurin issued an address to
the people of the state from his home
in Bennettsville today. He opens by
saying that the recent address to the
people by Senator Tillman makes 1t
necessary that he should say m
thing in explanation Of his motives
and actions and that had it not been
for Senator Tillman's intrusion upon
the Carney meeting there would have
been no necessity for it. A joint debate
was p~recipitated by him contrary to
my wishes and of the gentlemen who
invited me-"
He continues: cit Is too late now
to consider whether it "a wise or un-
wise, and the people must judge be-
tween us. I desire to my
candidacy in opposition to the senior
senator for the expired long term and
I will discuss with him in a fair
and reputable manner the national is
sues of the day and leave Ii to o I o
Judge who car more honestly n hon.
orably represent you in the United
States senate. In 1897, I was elected
to the senate as a democrat and / am
still a democrat"
Senator McLaurin says that his re-
cent Greenville speech gave the people
the reason for his official actions since
1899, but that the address Of Senator
TiIIman makes it necessary for him
to say that and continues:
THE senior senator charges that /
am a republican and am organizing
a republican party here. IL he believed
this charge why did he consent to run
with me in a democratic primary?
1 denounce the charge as an Infamous
falsehood and the senior senator knows
what he says is untrue.
'He charges that the dispensing OF
the public patronage has been placed
at my disposal and unlimited money

Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy. Of Concord,
n. H, founder of the Christian Scent
list sect. for libel was begun in the Suf-
folk county superior court here today,
and. according to the statement of the
different counsel, it is likely to consume
the greater portion Of three weeks.
hi suit was brought by Mrs. Wood
bury on The ground that two years ago
Mrs. Eddy in a message to the First
ChristianScience church here, which was
read four times and afterwards pub
lished in a local paper, had in mind
Mrs. Woodbury. when she used the
words 1.-The doom of Babylonish woman
referred to in the book of Revelations
is being fulfilled"
Previous to this Mrs. Woodbury. had
beer communicated by the church.
In her answer Mrs. Eddy admits that
the particular address was delivered on
the days n at the times named in the
declaration of the plaintiff. but de-
clareS that neither Mrs. Woodbury. nor
any other human being vas meant by
the term "Babylonish woman" the
phrase being used simply to describe a
1 type of sin.
"iS. "oooouis was pieSeHI III oui
today, but Mrs. Eddy would not ap-
pear, her deposition having bee taken
| for introduction in the case as evidence.
L The court room was crowded with
| spectators when the case was called.
| while several hundred men and women
clamored in vain for admission. Before
the selection Of a jury Mr.. Peabody,
counsel for Mrs. Woodbury.. offered an
affidavit bearing on the case, which he
| claimed was necessary through the alb
sence of Judge S. E. Hanna, a promi-
nent member of the mother church. who
| he said, caused the message of Mrs
Eddy to be published in the local papers
The court ook the affidavit with the
understanding that it should be admit
| ted later in the case should the evidence
warrant it.
A jury was then empaneled and the
| plaintiffs declaration read.

That Flax Mill.

The prospect for establishing flax
mill here in the not distant future
grows brighter as the merits of such
an industry are Investigated and the
better understood. Two special COM
mittees, each comprising member
ship of level-headed business men,
have given the question careful atten-
tion, investigated the plant at St.
Paul Park, considered any drawbacks
likely to arise in the operation of such
plant and conclude that factory of
this character would pay; would give
good returns to the investors, help
the farmers aud both directly and in
directly be advantageous to the city.
The capital required to put up the
necessary buildings and furnish The
machinery needed to convert the flax
straw into the simpler manufactures
need not be great and should be read
lily raised at home. The raw material
will be abundant, near at hand and
consequently cheap. The market for
the manufactured product is assured,
constant, and the price at which the
com modity may be sold warrants a
substantial profit. These are practic-
ally demonstrated propositions and it
does not appear that there could be a
possibility of failure under proper
management.

"NeutraIized" citizenship.

Among the amusing stories Of j..
Adam Bede in his lecture of Saturday,
April 9th, was one told Of young
Norwegian who asserted that he was
native of Norway but he had become
nettrdlized scitizen Of the United
States. OF course, his intention was
apparent, he meant naturalized, but he
had inadvertently struck a term that
was pervasively pertinent; a term
that expresses the elemental consGit-
uency Of that superb American eiti-
zenship that outclasses in robust
strength, in progressiyeness and CO.
hesion that OF any other nationality.
The American citizen is sort of cos
mopolitan agglomeration, an amalga-
nation of the better constituents
brought from his home country by
the Englishman, the Irishman, the
Scotchman, the German, the Scandi-
navian and the Yankee. They all
come together especially in the
Weston a perfect equality Of rights
and opportunities and each APP
propriates some new virtue from all
the others which he substitutes for his
own errors.
The accum Llation of things brought
from all these countries comes into
competition here, and the best of
these become the common inheritance
of all. We all learn of each other,
learn to see our errors, our shortcom-
ings, and to discover and appropriate
the excellencies of the stranger who
comes to US, discard the poorer meth
DDS and assume the better, respect
each other the more in consequence
and so by this very naturalization be-
come vastly wiser, stronger, better.
This counteryailing Of qualities de-
velopes desirable mediumship in the
character Of citizens, a "cross' be-
tween the crude and the radical,
conservative, charitable, peace-loVing,
industrious, progressive American
citizen, no longer a Yankee, an En-
glishman, a German, Scandinavian,
with provincial proclivities and ego
tism but a complete, exclusive Amer
ican citizen. The locality Of the acct
dent of birth is inconsequential; not
where one was born, but where he
lives, is the question Of insiStent sig
nificance that concerns society, and
the individual man as unit in the
aggregation. In these "neutralized"
Americans is found a solidarity of
citizenship essential to the perma-
hence and stability of our republican
institutions; citizenship which uni
ted in fraternal efforts, presents in
its cumulative capacity resistless
energy. A naturalization of differen-
ces, an assertion Of agreements, is
consummation most desirable and
desideratum to be encouraged In any
community.
