Bandera, Texas, December 24-Under the heading
Words Of Prophecy" c. L. c. Minor writing in the Bal
Sun of August g. 1901 calls attention to some tud
bits OF our countrys history which not fail to be in
estng to thoughtful students of the subject They rel
mainly to the protests OF such Patrick Henry Coed
Mason and Paul Jones against the adoption by Virginia
the constitution OF the United States without ample and
cihe guarantees against the usurpaton Of power BY The
central government it was to set up. H.
He says: Mason even pictured the march Of conqufa
egons that his prophetic eye would come-and Y
did come--to enforce in Virginia the will of the Fedi
government Paul Jones, who has been called the found
OF The United States navy in his memorandum, furnish

safely be trusted with such tempting power as the CHIEF 81

America. Deprive the president OF the power
the right to draw his sword and lead them Cthe feet

stances whatever the threats OF part OF his thl
citizens in order make himself yrant the rest
The writer after relating that it took all the nhus7
that Washington could bring to bear to overcome sueh
Jul opposition, goes on TO say; Would that hea'sn
granted to Washington, along with his many ineoupas]
good gifts like prophetic eye oresee the day wnen
government he creating turned into such desert

The writer compares the foregoing prophesies WI a

into Mr.. Schwab's Office. Mr.. Morgan
had not yet arrived, but the conference
really began before he came. Schwab
spoke first, and was talking when Mr..
Morgan, who came with G. e. Dawkins,
his English partner. and Robert Bacon
arrived. Mr.. Morgan followed Schwab in
a brief address to the representatives OF
labor, in which he outlined his position
and that Of the corporations. He re-
stated the proposals made by himself
and Schwab on Saturay last and said
they had encompassed all that the em-
ployers had to offer. A general discuss
sion followed in which the Amalgamat-
ed delegation insisted upon greater con-
,cessions than those offered. The discuss
sion went into details as to the signing
iof a scale for certain mills but 1t was
fruitless. Mr.. Morgan and the steel Of
fciars withdrew from the room to give
the labor delegates a chance to confer
privately. In their absence President
lshaffer and his associates decided that
they could not accept the proposals. Of
last Saturday and SO informed the steel
officials when they returned. There was
some general discussion of an unimpor-
tant nature and the conference ad-
journed.
After the labor men went into session
In the Stevens House the statement was
given out by one OF their number that
the proposition made by the United
States Steel Corporation would not be
accepted, and that there will be no fur
ther conference. 1t was said the ANAL
gamated representatives will probably
leave for Pittsburg tomorrow.

FIND UNPUBLISHED DISPATCH
important Discovery in II. Record.

Important Discovery in the Records
Bearing on Schley Controversy.
Washington, Aug. 3.-Additionai in
formation of great Importance to Rear
Admiral Schley has been obtained by
Captain James Parker of counsel for the
admiral, as a result of his examination
of the log books of ships and reports of
officers who participated in the Santiago
campaign.
The facts bear particularly upon the
movements of the flying squadron off
7Cienfuegos and Santiago. The publica
tions issued by the navy department, of
course contains every dispatch received
and sent. For instance in the report
made by Rear Admiral Sampson, which
includes his correspondence with Ad-
miral Schley, one dispatch, known as
No. I, is omitted. This dicpatch directed
Schley to remain OF Cienfugos.
In an instruction to Admiral Samp-
son, dated May 10, Secretary Long said:
The report of the Spanish feet being
at Santiago de Cuba might very we'll
be correct, SO the department strongly
advises that you send word Immediately
by the Iowa to Schley to proceed AT once
to Santiago with his whole command :,
Admiral Sampson replied that after
considering the Information contained
in the message he had decided in favor
of the plan already adopted of holding
the position off Cienfuegos. This plan
might be changed, he said, when it be-
came certain that the Spanish fleet was
at Santiago.
Captain Parker completed his prelim-
mary examination of his logs and pa
ners and returned last night to New
York. He will resume his examination
next week.
The navy department. yesterday adj
mitted that Captain Parker had lodged
a complaint with Acting Secretary
Hackett about the treatment he had re-
ceived. Mr.. Hackett explained to him
that the regulations required an officer
to be present when person not con-
nected with the service examined log
books and official documents. Captain
Parker's complaint, however. had some
effect. While two officers remained with
him in the Office of the secretary he was
apparently not as much annoyed today
by their presence as he was Yesterday.

Third Mate spratt, who left the
steamer in the small boat, says that the
vessel was not damaged by the breaking

off of the engines prevented this" said
he. There was calm at the time the
break came and things looked bad For
nearly week we looked in vain for as
sistance, meanwhile drifting to the
southwark and in toward the coast.
What made it really serious was the
shortage of provisions. Capt. William-
sen tried to persuade the Chinese crew
to man a small boat and attempt to
reach the coast, but they refused. A
volunteer crew was then called for, and
in twenty minutes we We're off in boat

we were picked up by the Loomis

John Kasson Upheld.

Bremen, Aug. 3.-The statement
made by John A. Kasson. former min
lister to Germany. to the effect that the
German tariff leaves much room for a
commercial treaty does not find favor
with thesliberals here. who trust to re-
iceiying the support of the American
government in their anti tariff agita-
ton. The Bremen Weser Zeitung does
not conceal its disappointment and
points out the disadvantages which the
United States encounters under the
new tariff.
A prominent importer OF American
goods said to the Record Herald cor
respondent last night: Mt. Kasson is
quite right. The new tarin no more
ruins American trade than the Dingley
tariff ruined the German export trade.
