THE CHOICE OF THE DEFENDER IN
DOUBT.

The races which have taken place
between the Constitution, the Columbia
and the Independence have not fully
settled the question as to which Will
be chosen to defend the Americas cup.
The only thing that seems to be set
tied is that the Independence Will not
be chosen for that honor. In the four
races that yacht did not win one. The
Constitution won two and the Colum-
bia two, both being Herreshoff boats.
The Independence's owner. Mr.. Law
son, is not satisfied and wants another
chance to show that his boat can do
better than she has yet done. In one
race, the one in which there was
pretty stiff breeze, she showed better
sailing qualities than she showed in
any one of the others. However. 1t is
certain that she VIII not be consider
ed in selecting a defender of the cup.
She is not as good. by a long way, as
either the Constitution or the Column
bia in light breeze. and is inferior
to either of them in a stiff breeze.
There is some difference of opinion
as to whether the Constitution or the
Columbia is the better boat, though
the majority opinion among yachtsmen
seems to be that the Constitution is.
There is no doubt that she is much the
better boat in light breeze. The two
OF the races which she won were sail
ed when the breeze was light. In both
of the races which the Columbia won
there was a strong breeze. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that some defect in
the sails of the Constitution prevented
her from doing as well as she could in
the races in which the breeze was
strong. 1t is said that some part of
her mainsail will be cut OFF. Some
changes will also be made in the head
sails and topsails.
There wold be a much better feeling
in yachting circles in New York II the
Constitution had won all the races.
But, notwithstanding the fact that she
was beaten in two out of four of the
races. she Will. in all probability, be
chosen as the cup defender.

on this subject, has been brought from
San Salvador and placed in a sanitarium

A STRUGGLE BETWEEN LABOR AND
CAPITAL.

The strike that began yesterday in
several of the subsidiary plants of the
United States Steel Corporation may
become the greatest that has ever TAX
en- place in this country. Comparative
ly few men have thus far been called
out, not a fifth of the employees of the
great corporation, and an agreement
may be reached before the labor lead
ers think it necessary to call out ad-
dftional men. The hope is general that
an understanding will be reached be-
tween the corporation and its employees
before there is an extension of the
strike.
The contention of the strikers is not
for additional wages, but that their
union shall be recognized in mills that
are not now under union control. If
the issue were one of wages it is prob
able that it would be settled without
much delay provided the demands of
the men were not unreasonable. In
the published statements of the con-
ferences between the managers of the
various plants of the corporations and
the labor leaders there has been no
statement of the reasons why the cor
poration refuses to recognize the union,
but the main reason is doubtless
that il thinks that if it were to do so
il would be at the unions mercy. The
union might not at this time make any
demands the corporation would not
grant, but it might do so in the near
future.
In all of the plants of the United
States Steel Corporation there are ap-
proximately 100000 men employed. If
all of them should be called out there
would soon be distress over very
wide section of country. Many kinds
of business depend largely upon these
workers. A prolonged strike therefore
would mean hard times for many
thousands of people.
The labor leaders say that they do
not think that the corporation will hold
out very long. that their purpose is,
at present, to give it a taste of the
unions strength, but that If it does
not come to terms soon the strike will

corporation. A reasonable view of the
situation would seem to be that it is
not the intention of the corporation to
yield soon, and that the strike will
have to be extended before anything
is likely to be accomplished. The cor
poration managers would never have
permitted a strike unless they had
made up their minds to resist the de-
mands of the union. They are not the
sort of men to yield without long
and hard struggle. 1t is evident that
they considered that they had more
to gain than to lose by resisting the
demands of the strikers. Otherwise
there would have been no strike.
The president of the union says that
there will be no violence of any sort
that the Amalgamated Association is
a vastly different organization from
what it was ten years ago, or even
five years ago, and that the members
of it are now under complete control.
1t is certainly to be hoped there will
be no violence. 1t is doubtful If strik-
ers ever gain anything by violence.
When the authorities are forced to
take a hand in labor troubles the sym
pathy of the public generally goes
AGAINST the strikers

An eminent divine OF this city whose
benign face and gray hair are almost as
familiar to the employees of the Grand
Central Station as to Protestant congrega-
tions in this city and Boston, was on his
way to his suburban home the other day,
laden with dress suit case and a small
leather setchel when he noticed two
portly rural DANES struggling with an
iS7mense valise, one grasping the handle
and one the rope which bound it's burst
ing sides, says the New York Mail and
Express. They hurried. with an anxious
eye on the clock, toward the swinging
doors.
1t was with great amusement that a
friend saw tl,e doctor take both his bags
in one hand and approach the struggling
females with the simple courtesy which
is part of his greatness.

ture nearest him, ALLOW me-" and ex-
tended his hand toward their unlovely
luggage, but the two drew back quite
fiercely and eyed him with a suspicious
scowl. Then, catching sight of the two
bags in his other hand, one of them said:
AN that bees the way ye docs it, be it?
Well, we're a match fer ye; we amt so
green as We take us fer, an we amt
trustin' oursels to no confidence man,

And they bowled over toward the gate,
leaving the reverend doctor somewhat dis
comhted.

WILL HILL BE A CANDIDATES

One of the interesting statements
that have been made in the public
prints since the adjournment of the
Democratic convention of Ohio is that
Ex- Senator Hill Of New York intends
to be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for President in 1904. and
that the action of the Ohio convention
was the beginning of a movement to
prepare the way for his candidacy. In
this connection il is alleged that Mr.
Bryan is bitterly hostile to Mr.. Hill and
purposes doing all he can to prevent
his nomination Assuming that this
is a correct statement of the political
situation in the ranks of the Democ-
racy. there is very interesting fight
ahead between these two leaders.
1t is admitted Of course that John
r. Mclean controlled the Ohio con-
vention and it is well known that he is
a warm friend of Mr.. Hill. 1t is not
improbable that there was some sort of
an understanding between them before
the meeting of the Ohio convention
an understanding as to what the plat
form Of the Ohio Democrats should
contain. The platform is not just
what Mr.. Mclean would have had it. 1t
is a compromise. but 1t does not con-
tain the features of the Kansas City
platform to which Mr.. Hill chiefly OBJ
jected.
No doubt Mr.. Hill is satisfied that
with such a start as has been made in
Ohio it will be possible to make such
platform in 1904 as will. in his opinion
enable the Democratic party to win the
presidency in the next presidential con-
test.
Those who pretend to be acquainted
with the inside history of the relations
between Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Bryan say
that the hostility of the Nebraska
statesman to the New York statesman
dates from the visit of the latter TO
the former at Lincoln in 1900. During
that visit Mr. Bryan told Mr.. Hill that
he would not accept the nomination for
President unless there was a distinct
declaration for silver in the platform.
The story goes that Mr.. Hill went
from Lincoln to the Kansas City con-
vention and used all of his influence
to have silver kept out of the platform,
hoping that if it were kept out he. and
not Mr. Bryan, would be the nominee
for President. Mr.. Bryan never for
gave Mr.. Hill for attempting, as he
believes, to get the nomination in that
way. Mr.. Bryan is credited with say
ing that Mr.. Hill supported the ticket
in the campaign which followed, not
because he wanted his party to sue
ceed, but because he wanted to main
tain his standing In the party with the
view of being his party's candidate for
President in 1904.
There may be some foundation for all
of this talk. Whether there is or not
will soon be determined. 1t is certain
that Mr.. Bryan does not approve the
He has said as much, and has given
out for publication a statement to the
effect that he will give his reasons
for the stand he has taken in the col
umns of his paper, The Commoner.
Judging from what has been appear
ing in the public prints there is very
decided disposition among Democrats
In all parts of the country to approve
the course pursued by the Democrats
of Ohio. Mr. Bryan will find it hard
work to stem the tide of sentiment
that is running in that direction
