MUCH DOLEFUL COMMENT.
London Press Comment on the Pro-
rOGuing OF Parliament.


London, Aug. 1.-THE proroguing
of parliament is the occasion of much
doleful comment. The Pail Mall Ga
zette refers to the results accom-
plished, with annotations on 1.-THE de-
cay of parliamentary system" How
ever this may be, finance was the only
big thing dealt with during the ses-
sion. Even the Times and Standard
point out the decline of the author
ity of the ministers in the house of
commons. The closure has been used
more frequently than ever before.
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader,
has delighted the cynics by his cool
unconcern in walking into the house
of commons at IL o'clock and break
ing off of debate by closure.
The Standard says that the govern
ment has bungled in the war and in
finance. 1t defines Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer,
as a politician absolutely ignorant
of finance, and who knows as little
about the money market as any other
country gentleman" The paper con-
trasts the effects of the enormous
sums borrowed by the United States
in the civil war and by France in 1870,
with the fall of consols resulting from
the methods of Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, and attributes it to the gov
ernment's financing. 1t says there is
a mistaken belief abroad that the re-
sources of the country have been i'm
mensely exaggerated and that Great
Britain is not so rich as imputed, and
claims that the belief in the almost
ineXhaustible resources of Great
Britain has been. heretofore, enc Of
the great guarantees Of peace.

MAY BE FORCED TO CLOSE.
Shortage of Rods May Stop the JOLT
ct steel and Wire Mills.

Joliet, ILL.,, Aug. 17.--It is expected
that the lack of rods at the American
Steel & Wire mills will force them to
shut down as early as Tuesday, thus
increasing the number Of men out to
G,0O0, nearly half of them involuntari-
ly. The rods are furnished by the IL
linois Steel Co. There are no signs of
violence, though the streets are full
of idle men. The announcement II
made that an effort will be made to
organize the skilled workmen in all
Joliet mills. The scope of the move
mcnt has not been definitely outlined
but the strike leaders believe n men,
bership of close to 2,G00 can be Sc
cured. There is fear that the COM
pany may endeavor to operate sew
eral branches of the Illinois plant
with what is known as skilled work
men" and handy men not identified
with the union or affiliated with the
Amalgamated association.

St. Louis, Aug. 17.-rresident David
X. Francis of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Co., who recently visited
President Mckinley at his home in
Canton, o., in company with Chair
man Carter of the national commits
sion, writing of his visit, among other
things, says:
I'VE talked with the president
about many things in connection with
the exposition which l can not give
to the public at present, but which

refrain from again expressing now

miration for man who, welding the
power of chief magistrate of this
great nation, lives in an unpreten-
tious way in small cottage in an in
terror town, wholly without guards,
driving about the country, stopping
to talk with the farmers and living
as simply as a private citizen. As we
left his home, the president insisted
that he should drive us to the station,
and on the way he was saluted re-
spcctfully by every person we met. 1t
is remarkable, and an admirable trait
of the president. lie seems fully i'm
pressed with the magnitude of this
exposition and the benefit it will be
to the entire country, and takes a
gratifying interest in its success"

ward rs soon rs She Can Get Coal
and Supplies ON Board.

Washington, Aug. 17.-There was
an entire absence OF news at the state
department, concerning the Colon
bian-Ncnezuelan troubles. The navy
department, which is directing all it's
energies in hurrying ships to the
scene of the disturbance, in order to
enforce out treaty guarantees expects
to have three ships on the way within
"a hours. The Machias, which has
been detained at Hampton Roads by
the threatening weather south of
Cape Hatteras, will now be able to
start on her journey, assurances hay
ing been given by the weather bureau
that all dangers from the gulf storm
along the southern Atlantic has now
passed. This information was tcle-
graphed to the commandant of the
Norfolk navy yard. Word was re-
ceived at the navy department that
the battleship Iowa had arrived at
San Francisco and she was instructed
by telegraph 20 proceed as soon as
possible to Panama en- the west coast.
1t is probable she will have to take
some coal aboard, but the department
believes she will be able to sail on her
5,400-miles journey by Sunday morn
ing. No word has come from the
Ranger, at San Diego, and the Off
cials at the department are somewhat
puzzled at her delay in starting. 1t
was supposed that she would be able
to sail at short notice, as her COM
mander had warning to prepare her
for sea, but nothing has been heard
from him since the orders were sent
him Friday morning.

DOES NOT WANT BLOOD MONEY.
Secretary TiGhe Talks Plainly About
the south Chicago Men.

Chicago, Aug. IA dispatch from
Milwaukee quoted Assistant Secre-
tary Tighe as follows in reference to
the South Chicago union:
Il shall not return to the Chicago
mills unless invited, and 1 have not
been invited. In reference to the as
sertion that the South Chicago men
insist on their right to pay part of
their wages to the association to aid
in prosecuting the strike, 1 would say
that the Amalgamated does not want
blood money. They have refused to
stand by the organization; they have
been read out of it ana that ends the
matter unless they should repent.
Until they are with us in principle
we want none of their assistance"
Secretary righe has been invited to
visit the union at East Chicago, Ind,
where there are independent mills. 1t
is social call only that is asked, and
he probably will accept the invitation
Monday.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 17.-Attention
I'm the steel strike is directed to the
west again. Every possible effort of
the strikers is centered to win Mil
waukee and Chicago over from their
adverse standing on the strike. Mil
waullee is to vote on the question,
and the labor leaders are confident
that final action will be favorable to
them. After Milwaukee acts a move
will be made to get the Chicago men
to hold another meeting and recon-
slider their two refusals to come out.
Coupled with the new western plan
is a determined effort on the part
of the strikers to break into the solid
com bination of Carnegie properties.
secret Organization Going On.
Secret organization has been going
on in the latter for some time, de-
spite the vigilance of the officials and
a show of strength is expected by
Monday. 1t is said that a large num-
Der of men will be gotten out at Du-
qucsne. The strike leaders say they
are strong enough to shut the plant
down and that they are going to do
so as soon as their plans mature. The
company officials admit that the
anna lgamated organizers have made
some Roadway at Duquesne, but say
that. making the most liberal allow
ance for the strikers, the plant can
not be even seriously handicapped.
\ Meeting at Duquesne.
The strike leaders plan to hold
meeting at Duquesne, and that fact
is taken as an Indication that the
commencement of the new turn on
Sunday night and Monday morning
marks the time for action. President
Shaffer and his associates have sew
eral times intimated that they had
surprise in store for the corporation,
and the move against the Carnegie
properties is now believed to be what
they had in mind. The Carnegie Of
ficals have been watching the prog
ress of events closely and are maxi
ing every possible effort to head the
strikers off.
The strikers Growing Restless.
There is a growing belief that the
good order which has been general
will not prevail much longer. The
strikers show spirit of restlessness
and irritation at the points where the
union and non-union men come in
contact, which is increasing. y party
of strike breakers from the south
is expected at MoHessen, and the
strikers are patrolling the town in
anticipation of their arrival. Trouble
is feared when the two forces meet.
1t is also believed that some trouble
will result from the effort to tie up
the Carnegie properties. The strike
leaders continue to warn against acts
of violence, and claim there will be
no trouble unless the strikers are de-
MED rights which the law gives them.

my Lords and Gentlemen 1t is
satisfactory to be able to close the
first parliament of my reign with the
assurance that the cordially of the
relations of Great Britain with the
other powers remains undiminished."
A reference to China is merely con-
gratulatory, on the attainment of an
agreement in regard TO the indemni-
ty, security for its payment and the
punishment of the most guilty Of
tenders.
In regard to South Africa, the
speech says:
The progress of my forces in the
conquest of the two republic by
which my South African colonies have
been invaded has been steady and
continuous. But, owing to the diff
Guilty and extent of the country to be
traversed, the length of the military
operations has been protracted.'
The speech refers to the signal sue
cess of the duke of Cornwall and
York's visit to the colonies as "addi-
tional proof of the patriotism, loyal
ty and devotion of the people of my
dominions over the sea-"
The rest of the speech merely rec
ords the kings satisfaction with the
liberal provisions made for the naval
and military services, the arrange
ments made for the maintenance of
the honor and dignity of the crown
especially those which affect the
state and comfort of my royal con-
sort" and the authorization to
change the royal title. 1t concludes:
