Milwaukee, June ga sweeping
injunction of widespread scope and
Importance relative to the strike of
the machinists was issued today to
the Vilter Manufacturing company.
The order prevents the strikers from
in any way interfering with the work
that are employed at the Vilter
works; from gathering about the
works in any way; from posting
pickets; from combining for the pur.
pose of preventing tradesmen selling
to workmen who have refused to quit
and from doing anything that will in
any way operate to result in damage
to the Vilter company.
The injunction equals in it's effect
the combined strike order issued by
Judge Jenkins in the Northern Pacific
case, without embracing many of the
defects Of that order, which led to
Its reversal in the court of appeals.
There is not a single reference to the
strike in the injunction. The men
are not restrained from striking, as
they were in the Northern Pacific
order, but they are simply restrained

cause damage to the Vilter company.
The suit is without an equal and ia
the first of the kind ever instituted.
If it is successful it will have q most
important part to play in labor dis

While the action is brought In the
name of the vilter company, it Is
really the National Metal Trades as
sociation that is plaintiff. the Vilter
company having been . selected to
serve as plaintiff, as it is said the

and all persons in any way connected
Herewith.
The injunction is returnable in the

Kansas City Corporation Makes
Jury Bribing a Fine

Of juries sitting on damage suits

KING BOREAS RULES WEEK IN
GERMANY.
AND YACHT RACES
Emperor's Speech Furnishes Am
munition for Attacks from
Centrist Press.

Berlin, June 22-This has been a
week of speeches and regattas, favor
ed during the last half by fine, sunny
weather. It began with the unwilling
of the Bismarck memorial in front
of the Reichstag building, last Sun
day, which drew to Berlin scores OF
thousands Of people from every part
of Germany and several thousands Of
foreigners, including many American
tourists. Count Won Buelow's grafton
on that occasion greatly surprised
the emperor because its whole tone
differed from his majesty's concep-
ton of Bismarck's achievements, in
which the emperor only ices a SER
wants doings at his masters direc-
ton. This his majesty again en-
%phasised at the time by the inscrip-
ton on a wreath deposited at the
foot of the statue in his behalf, it
read: ITO the great emperor's great
servant"
While at the unwilling of the Bis
marck statue the emperor did not
open his lips, his majesty made two
noteworthy addresses at Cuxhaven
and at Keil, the former being the
more important. The emperor used
Count Won Buelow's happy metaphor,
saying Germany had won for herself
a place in the sunshine" and dwe!t
emphatically on German commercial
and national expansion.
The liberal press has considered
therefrom that it is impossible to
grant the agrarian demands, which
means that the renewal of the com
mercial treaties will be rendered
most difficult. The agrarian press
has denied this, cautiously, and the
conservative press has kept silence.
The whole press was agreeably af-
fected by the emperor's statement
that peace is now secured for a mum
Der of years to come. The Cologne
Volks Zeitung today critically re
views his majesty's Cuxhayen speech
and says:
'HThe emperor has by his words
~corroborated what is claimed by the
centre, namely, that the China expe
dition has been a total failure, for
il the Chinese war is really ended
what has Germany achieved by it.;
not even reimbursement of her actual
outlay and certainly not enlargement
of her Chinese possessions; nor has
! it brought about harmony among the
| powers in China. 1t is notorious
there have been almost constant
wrangling and jealousies among them
It would have been better if Germany
had, alone, punished China for Barcr

could have objected and the punish
ment would have then been adequate
to the enormity of the crime"

EXPLAINING The Law
State Department Addresses Russia
on Matter Of Countervail-
ing Duties.

Washington, June 22-The state de-
partment has addressed to the Rus.
sian government, as represented by
Count Casini, its ambassador, such
representations respecting the sugar
and petroleum tariff controversy as
r deemed necessary to meet Rus
sian action. The purpose of the let
ter is to smooth away, if possible.
the friction that has been engendered
between the two governments in the
handling of these two products, and
in particular to divest the exchanges
of any personal character. To that
end, as set out in Secretary Cages
statement issued yesterday, effort is
made to show that what has been
done by the United States govern
ment was in a manne brought about
by the automatic operation of the
American tariff laws. In the facts
set out by the treasury statement the
provisions of the countervailing duty
section of the Dingley law + re-
cited, together with circulars and in
structions of the treasury department
issued hereunder.
The Russian government has been
especially irritated over the proceed
ing as to Russian sugar imports into
the United States and particular at
tention is given to that subject and
reasons are adduced to bring the Rus
sian government to believe it should
remit the increased duties on Ameri-
can goods. =
The Russian ambassador received
Secretary Hays note during the at
ternoon and took steps to commune
cate it to the imperial government.
This closes the incident for the pres
ent, and it probably will be some
weeks or, perhaps, months before any
further development occurs. In the
meantime Count Cassini will in per-
son go over the entire subject with
the officials at st. Petersburg and this
gives hope Of a satisfactory adjust
ment, as the ambassador has lost nc
opportunity during his last three
years service in Washington to har.
monte difficulties and bring about
every possible measure of co-opera'
ton between the two countries. He
leaves Washington Monday and will
sail from New York on the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse Tuesday. The
trip had been arranged two months
ago and his departure would have
been made last month, had it not been
for pending negotiations in China. AS
these indicate that the troublesome
indemnity question will be settled by
July /, the ambassador is now al
liberty to leave.
Count Cassini is quite confident
that no i'll effect can come out Of the
incident and his efforts will be direct
ed toward removing this and like
small irritations.

Are cats "eattle?'' The health officer Of
the city Of Newark, y. J. says so. Some
days ago a man in that city killed. cooked
and ate a cat. Some OF his neighbors
seemed 20 think that eating a cat was a
reprehensible of1ense against something
or other, they did not know precisely
what At any rate they told the health
officer about 1t, and asked him to punish
the man. He said he would. He looked
in the law books TO see what the penalty
for eating cat meat was. but there was
nothing in the book about it. He found,
however, that In the sanitary code there
was section providing that the slaugh-
tering of cattle, swine or sheep within
the corporate limits should not be allow
able except by licensed butchers, under
penalty of so. Since a cat is neither
swine nor sheep. the health officer con-
ciuded that it must be cattle" hence he
is to bring suit against the cat eater for
killing the mouser himself instead Of TAX
ing it to a licensed butcher. Meanwhile,
it Is difficult to understand why man
should not be permitted TO enjoy his roast
ed or fricassed cat if his taste runs that
way.

NOT AS THE QUEEN WOULD HAVE
WISHED 1T.

According to Max O'Rell, I'm cable
gram in the New York Journal. the be-
havior of the people at the funeral of the
queen was not as the Queen would have
wished it. He was there as an observer,
and it seems that he expected to see ;he
women hysterical and in tears and the
men with heads bowed in sorrow as the
funeral procession passed. What he saw
was great multitude of people who were
out for holiday-people who seemed dis
appointed that the saloons were closed
and who wondered whether they would be
opened at night so they could go there
to finish up the day.
one thing that he noticed particularly
was that after the funeral the ground all
along the route was covered with scraps
of paper. The people had brought their
lunches with them, and had enjoyed
sort of picnic dinner while waiting for
the procession 10 pass. After eating they
had thrown the coverings of the food
packages on the ground. Max O'Rell says
that the French would have brought
flowers and thrown them before the cof-
fin. and If they had brought anything to
eat they would have neatly folded the
pieces of paper which contained it aud
put them in their pockets.
No doubt the French have more senti-
ment than the English, but it is doubt
full il they are as capable of as deep feel
ing The lower classes of the English
respected and loved the Queen and they
will not soon forget her-not nearly so
soon as the French would forget much
beloved ruler. The fact that they did not
bring flowers TO throw before the Queens
coffin does not prove that their sorrow
was not deep and sincere. The French
are heater than the English in some
things, and it is probable that they would
not litter the ground with the pieces of
paper in which they carried the food they
needed 10 sustain them during a long
wait for funeral procession.

nRuNswIck's GOOD FORTUNE.

From dispatches published in the Morn
ing News yesterday it looks as If Bruins
wick would get a naval training station.
Blythe Island, which is owned by the
government, is admirably suited for the
purposes Of such a station, and the Navy
Department is anxious for a station on
the South Atlantic coast
The matter has been brought to the at
tention of the Navy Department. and
Senate and House Naval Committees. and
1t is viewed with favor by all of them.
Indeed, the Secretary of the Navy has al
ready taken some action looking toward
using the island for the purpose indicated.
The island is near by Brunswick and is
capable of being improved without the
outlay of a great deal of money 1t is
said to be well wooded and that the water
all around it is deep enough to accom-
modate deep-draft vessels.
There IS no reason to doubt that within
year or two a naval training station
will be I'm operation on the island For the
greater part of the year it will be the

summer 1t will be as pleasant there as at
any one of the other stations
One great benefit the station will be
to Brunswick is that it will induce the
government to be more liberal in deepen
ing the Brunswick bar There Is already
a good depth of water on the bar, but
with a naval station in the harbor the
government will want water enough on
the bar to accommodate the largest of
the warships.
1t seems that Congressman Brantley
has been working at this training station
matter for some time, and il is TO him
largely that Brunswick will owe the sta
ton. if the government finally decides to
utilize Blythe Island for that purpose
