REFLECTION MAKES US ONE.
EnEIishmcn Make tmcrica's Loss Their Own and Grieye Even
 as Do We.

Eondon, Sept. 16.-It would be al- most impossible to record in detail the remarkable outburst of sympathy in Great Britain and her colonies over the death of President Mckinley. proofs of which are continually arriy- ing here. Not only has King Edward commanded the court to go into mourning for one week, but wherever public meeting of any kind has been held or wherever public man has had occasion to speak, expressions of sympathy have been heard.
 In every place of public worship yesterday, from St. Paul's cathedral and Canterbury cathedral down, the preachers made special references 10 the terrible event, invoking Gods blessing upon the United States and the American people. Crathie church at Balmoral, whose bells had never before been used except on occasions of national interest, broke the GUS tom and announced the event to the neighborhood.

The Peabody Fund.

Blow is an extract from the annual report of State Superintendent J. J. Doyne to Dr. l.. NJ Curry, trustee of the Peabody fund:
 q regret that l have no special re- port to make to you this year owing to the fact that the Peabody aid was withdrawn from the state by your board on account of the failure of the legislature to make any appropriation for summer normal work for the pres ent year. Through the earnest effort Of our county examiners, the teachers were given the advantage of short term institutes under competent instructors. the teachers themselves bearing the expense of the same. The reports from these institutes are encouraging. and the sentiment is more than ever in favor of trained teachers In these institutes there were enrolled about 4.000 teachers, while the attendance of those who were not teachers. but who are simply interested in the work was unusually large. There is steady growth of interest in our schools. The enrolment is better; the attendance is more regular; the demand for good buildings and better teachers is in. creasing There are now more than fifty new buildings in process of cree. ton. and about 240 were erected in the year ending July l. 1901
 In support of these statements Super lntendent Doyne gives the following encouraging comparative statement.
 For the past twenty-eight years Ar kansas has received q porton of the Peabody fund to assist in holding in. stitutes and normals. and has now lost 1t through the indifference of the lee islature. In 1895 and in 1897 the leg islature appropriated 5000 a year for the purpose of carrying on the normals. In 1899 the legislature refused to make the appropriation. and the Peabody board very wisely refused to help those who will not helD themselves. Ar kansas now occupies the uniaHe post tion of being the only southern state that has no fund available for insti. ute and normal work

IN McKINLEY's FOOTSTEPS.
President Roosevelt Gives mn Inx~ ling of the Linz of Policy He
 Expects to Follow.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The secre- | Roosevelt has outlined in some detail the policy he will follow during his ineumbency of office. It will be re- membered that when he took the l oath of office he stated with much definiteness: Ut shall be my aim to continue absolutely unbroken the pol icy of President Mckinley for the peace (and he emphasized that word), prosperity and honor of the country"
 Sunday the president gathered to- gether some personal friends in Buff falo and those members of the cabi- net who were here, and gave to them such ideas as he had already formu- lated for the conduct of affairs and his own policy. In no sense are they divergent from what has been un- derstood as Mir. Mckfnley's policy. This policy as outlined to his friends at Sundays conference will be for a more liberal and extensive reciprocity in the purchase and sale of commodi- ties, so that the over-production of this country can be satisfactorily dis posed of by fair and equitable ar engagements with foreign countries. The abolition entirely of commercial war with other countries and the adoption of reciprocity treaties.
 The abolition of such tariffs on for eign goods as are 10 longer needed for revenue, if such abolition can be had without harm to our industries and labor.
 Direct commercial lines should be established between the eastern coast of the United States and the ports in South American and the Pacific ports of Mexico, Central American and South America.
 The encouraging of the merchant marine and the building of ships which shall carry the American flag and be owned and controlled by Americans and American capital.
 The building and completion as soon as possible of the isthmian canal, owned by the government, con meeting our mainland with our for eien possessions, notably Hawaii and the Philippines.
 The use of conciliatory methods of arbitration in all disputes with for eign nations, so as to avoid armed strife
 The protection of the savings of the people in banks and in other forms of investment by the preservation of the commercial prosperity of the country and the placing in positions of trust men of only highest integrity.

 New Senatorial Districts.

Attorney General George W. Murphy has solved a difficulty for the new Twenty-second senatorial district which will be of interest all over the state. In response to query he wrote as follows:
 My opinion is that when a new senatorial district is formed including county in which a senator of one of the districts has formerly existed re- sides, he is the senator from the new district and will represent it until his 1erm expires; but that where no sen ator resides in any county of the new district. one residing therein will have to be elected. l can see no other con clusion."

His Home Life.

If President McKinleys public activi. ties and achievements have been typical of the best Amerieanism. his home has been equally a typical American home. Lis visit to his sister, at Canton, just after the war. decided the vocation he should pursue. For another reason il was a memorable and momentous visit. Dur ing it he met one of his sisters friends, q pretty schoolgirl named Ida Saxton, the daughter of James SaXtou, q well-to do banker of Canton. \ mere acquaintance ship was formed, and when he went to Albany to study law and she to slmiu ary 3 Media, Pa. to complete her educa- ton. they temporarily lost sight of each other.

NOI ALL ARE SATISFIED.
No General Resumption of the Steel Workers in the Mills at
 Pittsburg.
THE STRIKERS SEEM TO BE ALL AT SEA,
Mystery as to the Terms of settle ment-Thc situation at MeKees- port Diffcrent-Therc was Gener- al RejoicinE, and All Went to Work That Could be Use1,

Pittsbarg, Pa, Sept. 17.-There was no general resumption of work at the steel mills here Monday With the eX= ception of McKeesport. the mills in this district were operating about the same as last week, very few of the old men reporting for work. The strikers are all at sea, and Amalga= mated headquarters crowded with committees from the different local mills and out-of-town plants anxious to learn the terms of settlement of the big strike. None have been off. cially notified that the strike has been declared off, and great deal of l indignation was expressed by the diff. ferent delegations on the anounce. ment made that President Shafferl who had arrived early, would see the committee from each mill separately and explain the result of the New York conference and the terms of set l tlement.
 From the sentiment of the tin plate workers they will not return to work, but continue the strike.
 Dissatisfaction over the ending of the strike on terms said to have been unfayorable to the Amalgamated men extends to nearly all the plants in 1 this district. The employees of Paint | CTS mill. of the American Steel Hoop Co.,, declared they will not return OH the conditions imposed at the New l York conference.
 At the Lindsay X MeCuteheon plant the strikers said they would remain out until officially notified of the strike being off by President Shaffer.
 Five puddlers went back, and now 13 of the 20 furnaces are running.
 Five mills at the Star tin plate works were in operation, but none of the strikers have returned, and the indications are that they will remain out

Different at McKeesport.

The situation at Mekeesport was different. There was general rejoic- ing that the strike had been settled Five thousand men reported at the National tube works. but only l, ,50o could be used, mostly i'll the threading department. Four days will be need ed at least to get the mill going in full. The National rolling mill fires were not started, and but few men reported for work.
 At Demmler nearly all the old men reported for work at the tin plate plant except the strike leaders. Six mills were running, and second and third turns will be started.
 Nothing Can be Learned.
 From the national officers of the Amalgamated association nothing could be learned of the terms of the settlement.
 President Shaffer was inaccessible, and the other officers refused to give any information. Notwithstanding the dissatisfaction expressed by the strikers, it is believed the mills will all be in operation before the end ot the week.
 A Greenylle special says the hoop mill started mp in full with 300 men

the firm, was interviewed by a Spy

He said that the suits arose from
forgeries perpetrated by a son-in-law
of Mr.. Strauss who has since been
confined in a private asylum. Many
thousand dollars of these forgeries
were issued. The victims of the false
paper are trying to recover.
The young man was in business in
Boston under the firm name of F.

The senior member committed sui
eide The young man lost his mind.
Litto Abraham is mother of Leo Abra-
ham.

were not of the consequence of a lead
pencil, from a financial standpoint
and gave him therefore no anxiety
whatever
