san Francisco Aug 1.-THE local labor
troubles appear no nearer settlement
than week ago.
There is nothing new" said Attorney
Michael of the employers association.
ms was taken as meaning that the EN-
ployers are as firm as ever. The forces
OF organized labor are equally firm. The
leaders say they are anxious for peace and
that they are willing to make any reason
aoie concessions to bring about settle
ment, but they are positive in the declar-
alton that there can be no compromise
that does not recognize trades unionism.
But in spite of the difficulties in the way
Oh reconciling the views of the parties to
Ihe controversy, many business men of
the city are working hard to bring the
employers and the employees together. A
better feeling between the draymens as
soclaton and the locked out teamsters is
apparent and there is some hope that an
end may be speedily put to the strike.
All the wharyes are heavily congested
with freight. A few of the largest steam
ers are moving, but the fleet of idle vessels
III the bay is continually being augmented
by fresh arrivals, whose crews desert
them as soon as the harbor is reached.
There was an improvement in the conul-
ton OF the principal streets today. A force
OF 6O sWeepers was at work and the city
furnished eight wagons and one sprinkler.
The executive committee of the labor
council has passed resolution calling on
Mayor Phelan to remove Police Commits
sioner Newhall on the ground that the
police are being used to subserve the in
terests OF the employers association.
The communication addressed to Mayor
Phelan by the directors of the chamber of
commerce was followed by another from
the board of trade urging upon the mayor
the issuance of proclamation declaring
that peace must be preserved and perso-
nal property rights be respected Mayor
Phelan holds that such a proclamation is
unnecessary and would be gratuitous in
suit and possible cause of violence rather
than operating to allay it. The mayor so
replied to the chamber of commerce and
his position is not changed since the board
OF trade communication was drafted.
The strike has not developed violence
demanding the sort of measure suggested
by the chamber OF commerce. said the
mayor tonight.
San Francisco, August 13.-There
was no change of importance in the
strike situation today, both sides re-
naming firm, while continued, but thus
far, fruitless efforts at Cancellation are
being made.

ance, with but a few seconds to spare.
Constitution crossed the finish line at

Whitman County Wheat Crop.

Colfax, Wash, Aug. lit will not
be surprising to many if the wheat crop
OF Whitman county reaches the enormous
amount of 100000 bushels this year.
From all parts of the country comes the
same report. The grain is surprising the
first estimates from 10 TO 20 per cent. Few
yields of less than 40 bushels per acre
have been reported, and if the crop of the
entire county averages % bushels the To-
100000 bushel mark will be reached. The
report OF the county assessor, just issued,
shows that there are 654, 654 acres of land
In cultivation in the county. Competent
judges say that a conservative estimate
of the number of acres in grain would be
100000 which, at an average yield of rs
bushels per acre, would make a grand
total of 100000 bushels for the county.

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.

From the window of the chapel softly
sounds an organs note,
Through the peaceful Sabbath cleaning
drifting shreds of music float,
And the quiet and the freight and the
sweetly solemn tunes
Bear me dreaming back to boyhood and
its Sunday afternoons;
When we gathered in the parlor, in the
parlor stiff and grand,
Where the hdircloth chairs and sofas
stood arruyed, gloomy land,
Where each queer oil portrait watched us
with Il countcnance of wood,
And the shells upon the whatnot in Il
dustless splendor stood.
Then the quaint old parlor organ, with
the quaver in its tongue,
Seemed to tremble in its fervor as the
sacred songs were sung,
AS we sang the homely anthem, sang the
glad revival hymns
OF the glory of the story and the light
no sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew even deeper and
the evening settled down,
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled in
the drowsy little town,
Old and young we sang the chorus and
the echoes told it Ger
In the dear, familiar voices, hushed or
scattered evermore.
From the windows of the chapel faint
and low the music dies,
And the picture in the freight fades be-
fore my tear-dimmed eyes,
But my wistful fancy, listening, hears
the night wind hum the tunes
That we sang there in the parlor ON those
Sunday afternoons.

the plant is obtained from any suitable

SULTAN ANo HIS HOME LIFE.
Fears Assassination by Poison and by
the Knife

the Knife.
One of the most striking Illustrations
of this phenomenon of light veneer
of Western habit OVERLAPPING core OF
things totally Oriental Is the personal
life of Abdul Hamd. Tireless as his
activity is, and careful as he is of each
moment OF time, very little of his ener.
gy is directed toward national affairs.
and public business is nowhere more
delayed and neglected than unuer this
busy ruler.
The elaborate ceremony of precau.
tion with which his meals are prepared
engages the attention of the highest
and most trusted of his officials. The
cooking is done in separate and
strongly guarded chamber, and tho
chef does everything beneath the eye
of the Sultan's confidential servant A
solemn procession conveys the food
and water to the sale n manger, the
carafe being sealed and the dishes COW
cred with cloths which are also sealed
upon them. These precautions against
| poison by no means satisfy the Sultan.
AT any moment he may command the
official who overlooks the cookery TO
taste dish, and a number Of pet ami
mails are kept to which the first morsels
are given by the royal hand.
In the taste for tobacco on the other
hand, he practices no moderation; this
Is craving stronger than any taste for
food, and the cigarette that Is between
his lips from morning till night can do
little to improve nervous system al
ready shattered by anXieties. In the
matter of liquor the Sultan Is no strict
Mussulman, and pleads his health as
an excuse for the indulgence In an oc-
casional glass of champagne.
The pitiable state of his nerves makes
the night a recurring terror to him.
He fears darkness like a child, and the
whole of the apartments occupied by
him, with the surrounding gardens,
are brilliantly lit up from the moment
the light falls. Silence, too is terrible
to him. and he can only sleep with the
noise of his guard tramping before the
palace ia his ears From his sleep he
will start up to summon an interpreter
for dream, or to go out and sweep
the horizon with strong glasses. Usu-
ally he is sent with difficulty to sleep
by the reading aloud Of his brother or
favOrite servant. Next to the reports
of his spies. the literature that appeals
most strongly to his taste Is that of the
sensational novel. and the more horror
there is to stimulate a morbid taste
the better Is he pleased. 1t is character
istic of him that the only sport In
which he excels is rifle and pistol prac-
tice: at this he could show the way to
most men.-7London News.

TAKING HIS ADVICE
AnR. SHELDON was the princi-

INWI pal merchant in the important
Ss manufacturing town Of Tor
mont. He was proud of his wealth. but
he was still more proud of the fact that
he had made it all himself, and his
pride was greatest because he had
made it by never allowing anybody to
get ahead of him.
That's the secret of success in life,
Harry" he said one day, to his favor
lite clerk. "Sharp's the motto, if you
wish to rise. l don't mean you should
cheat; that, of course, Is both wrong
and ungentlemanly." (Mr. Sheldon
prided himself, also, on being what
he called "a gentleman" and above all
little meannesses.) but always be
wide-awake, and never let anybody
cheat you. I've noticed, by the bye, that
you've seemed rather downhearted late
ly. If it's because you've your for
tune yet to make, don't despair; but fol
low my advice. An opening will come
at some time for something better than
a clerkship, and though shall be sorry
to lose you, yet I'll give you up, if
It's for your interest"
Thank YOU" said Harry, apparently
not a bit cheered up by this cool way
of being told he had nothing to expect
from Mr.. Sheldon; but it's not exact

somehow"
What is it, my dear boy, then? l

know and he did, so far as words
were concerned Perhaps l can give
you some advice"

as if bright thought had struck him

answered Harry, ''for her father is

Guilty. Her father would never let her
marry poor man, and she won't marry
without his consent"
What miserable tyrant" said Mr..
Sheldon. IF l was the lover, Harry,
I'd run off with her. I'd checkmate
the old curmudgeon in that way" and
he chuckled at the imaginary triumph
he would achieve. "'Pon my soul,

body take a rise out of me-"
But would that be honorable?"
Honorable? Isn't everything fair In
love and war? l thought you had some
pluck, Harry. How should like to see
the stingy old hulk rave and stump
about on his equity tOes-for he must be
gouty-when he heard of your elope-

And he laughed till his portly sides

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.

London. June 3o.-The promised improvement in
the London Stock Exchange, for whose delay hnan-
cial writers have found one excuse or another for
more than a month past, has this week most
tangible reason for its non-appearance-namely.
the bank failures in Germany and the United
States These have been amply sufficient TO shake
confidence of hesitating market, and business
all around has been extremely slack. The Ameri-
section has been least affected by the prevail
ing dulness and it is the only section showing
week end rally. Nothing seems able TO shake the
conviction here that the United States is due for
long period of prosperity although even while buy
ing these attractive American securities the critics
are unable to disguise their covert resentment at
the seemingly universal run of luck in the United
States.
While home rails have been down from one TO

quieting rumors of reduced dividends af1oat.

The Bank Of England kindly accentuated this

more due TO the fact that millions Of pounds still
