AFFILIATED UNIONS.
Will Decide Misunderstanding Be tween Machinists and Engineers.

will Decide Misunderstanding Be
 tween Machinists and Engineers.
 New York. Oct 14.-The misunder- standing between the International Association of Machinists and the Amalgamated Society of Engineers led to an exchange of words between the representatives of the two bodies at a recent meeting of the Central Federal ed Union The Amalgamated Society of Engineers has it's headquarters in England, and has only a branch or ganiZation in this country. The trouble grows out of the failure. it is alleged, of the Amalgamated Society, which has a number of machinists in it's ranks, to cooperate with the Interna- tional Association of Machinists dur ing strikes. The Amalgamated So- ciety was suspended by the building trades section of the central body last week for failing to strike in sympathy with the machinists. George H. War ner. delegate of the International As sociation. started hostilities by de manding that the action of the building trades section be sustained The whole question was finally referred to the af- fliated unions for vote

STREETS WELL WASHED
Superintendent Kept Pretty Busy Making Repairs.

The wind and rain of yesterday left some of the trees almost bare, and if the storm continues much longer the foliage will not stand ill the way of huntsmen seeing their game to better advantage than they expected so soon. The storm did considerable damage 10 the streets in certain sections, and by Tne time they are repaired it is thought that the winter will have set in The past few months have taxed the patience of the superintendent to it's capacity, and a man not accus- toned to dealing with all kinds of weather would have broken down un- der the strain. Just as soon as he had the streets fixed, one storm after another set i'll and left them much the same as if nothing had been done and it looks as if things were going to continue that way until the bad weather comes around. While the rain caused considerable inconyenl- ence in one way and another, still it did a lot of good in other respects. 1t was warm rain and seems to have infused new life into the grass on the different lawns about town. The yard at the Immaculate Conception church looks as healthy to-day as it did last July and the same thing is true of other beauty sDots i'll all sec tions. Besides this, it helped the shoe men and the umbrella dealers. so that after all we have much to be thank full for, even though we have to get around under q drenching rain.

SYNIPATHIZES WITH BISHOPS.
London Times Comments Editorially
 on the Convention.


 New York, Oct 14.-A London dis patch to the New York Times quotes the London Times as commenting edi- torially on the discussion regarding the marriage and divorce question by the convention of the Protestant Episcopal church at San Francisco The Lon, don Times says it sympathizes with the bishops in the difficulties which they and the clergy throughout Amer ica have to encounter The condition of the marriage laws is a subject whereon enlightened Americans, how ever confident of their institutions they may be, speak despondently though they may justly retort to crit icisms that the marriage laws in Eng land are not above reproach.
 The most obvious reform in America says the London Times, would be to pass national law on the subject. but apart from tie constitutional i'm pediments in the way of such a step. the condition of public opinion does not encourage such legislation. Twenty five wears hence another Protestant Episcopal convention may be debating the same problem. with no clearer prospect of it's solution than exists at present.

 "There have been no further devel- opments in the case of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the abducted American mission ary.
 Ut is reported that Spencer Eddy Secretary of the United States legation in Constantinople) received to-day a dispatch from Washington advising that sum of money which should suf- fee for the ransom be forthcoming? ?' The text of Reuters adyices is ambig- uous.
 The Daily Telegraph has the follow ing dispatch from Sofia, dated yester- day:
 United States Consul General Dick inson has received no instructions to pay the ransom. He is afraid a dan- gerous precedent would be created by payment. As he is now fully con- vinced that the brigands were merely instruments, acting under the insti- gation of late members of the Mace donian committee, he has made strong representations to the Bulgarian gov ernment, asking the arrest of these in stlgators. Should this be done. he says, Miss Stone would doubtless be released on payment of a moderate indemnity and assurance of freedom Tor her captors Some Macedonians have already been arrested here.''

MAGNETIC OBSERVATORY.
One at Sitka, Alaska, Another at Homo
 lulu. Hawaii.

Washington, Oct 14-The coast and geodetic survey has established magnetic observatory at Sitka, Alas ka, and is constructing another at Honolulu, Hawaii, to cooperate with the British and German governments in Investigating problems of magnetic forces and needle variations throu
 out the world This is in connection with two British and one German ex- petitions for the South Pole on plans long ago formulated. The co-opera- t1on of this and other governments was asked by Germany and the move ment is now we'll under way. so far as the preliminary work is concerned. contemplateS magnetic observations at fixed obseryatories throughout the world simultaneously with the actual scientific researches in the south Polar regions. Both the American observa- tories will be ready to assume their part of the cooperation at the time designated in February next The work of the expeditions is likely to occupy two or three years, and it's value is largely dependent on the ob- servations similarly and simultan- eously made in different parts of the world. It is eXnected to determine the questions whether all magnetic disturbances and phenomena are sub- ject to a common and world wide cause, instead of being of local char acter.

The Latent Human Wild Beast.

There was tragedy in the tent of
certain wild animal show week or
two ago. A woman who had been
in the habit of exhibiting trained
lions WAS incapacitated for her lusi-
ness in a very few minutes. One of
the lions, which had long shown
signs of being unruly, leaped upon
her and inflicted serious injuries.
The element in human nature
which makes such shows as th-se
popular is not one of which We have
reason To be very proud. Tho .xhi.
bition of trained animals is not. in
itself, anything demoralizlng either
to the spectator or to tho trainer.
The testimony Of Hagenback and
others is to the effect that the trainer
must, in order to be safe and success
full, treat the animals with kindness.
and to Judge from their actions it
would seem that they enjoy being
stared at in idieness.
But the average exhibition of
trained lions aud tigers is another
sort of thing. The fercier and moro
dangerous the beasts are, the more
evident their resistances of authority
and dislike of their work. the more
the audience enjoys it. There would
be no spice in the affair if there were
no danger. The beasts must be
beaten and cowed into submission;
tho man or woman among them
must be running the risk Of being
torn by their teeth, in order to fur.
nish the requisite amount Of excite
ment. 1t is the latent wild beast in
human nature which delights in this
sort of thing. The civilized man
wants the vicarious thrill which
comes of looking OH at a perform
ance which he would never have tho
sand to attempt. 1t is the remnant
of the thirst for blood which so ragged
in the Roman popuIace when they,
likewise. went to the circus and saw
women and children torn by lions or
gladiarors in deadly combat On the
bloody sands. 1t is not in any phase
of its recrudescenee a nice thing, or
a thing to be encouraged.
