Paris, April 5.-An interesting his
toric revelation has been made by
County de Keratry, a former project
of police, at a banquet given by the
Aero club in honor of the 10 surviv-
ing aeronauts who left Paris during
the siege of the city in 1901. The
count, who descended at Prillon, near
Bar lie DUO, department OF Meuse, after
a perilous journey, said he was intrust-
ed by the national defense government
with a mission to 90 to Madrid and
persuade Marshal Prim to proclaim
a republic in Spain. Keratry had in
the balloon $1,000, 900 francs In treas
ury bonds, which q detachment Of
Prussian Uhlans nearly captured. The
money was intended to equip and pay
an army corps Of $4,000 men which
Spain vas to place at frances dis
posal. Marshal Prim refused to UNI
dertake the task, although Senior Cas-
telar and other Spanish republicans
the proposition. Marshal
Prim was assassinated three months
and his murderer was never
discovered.

PRESSURE OF CROWD CAUSED.
STRUCTURE TO COLLAPSE.
THREE DEATHS RESULT
Many Spectators Of International
Footbsv Contest Injured in
the Catastrophe.

Glasgow, April 5.-A struggle Of
crowds which gathered at Ibrox park
to witness the last international as
s~ociation football contest betweensthe
teams from England and Scotland,
caused the collapse OF a portion Of
n Of the spectators terraces, result
ing in the death Of three persons and
injury Of >125 others.
When the game began 10000 spec
tators were on the ground and an i'm
mense crowd had gathered outside.
Peing unable to obtain admitance,
this crowd broke down some Of the
barriers and swarmed upon the field,
whereupon the police charged and
drove the intruders back upon the ter
races and seats, with the result that
the ratings dividing the crowds were
broken and people were thrown over
each other in the frantic struggle to-
ward the exits. The pressure toward
the upper portion OF the westerly
terrace was so great that a hundred
feet of the highest part Of the struc-
ture collapsed under the weight OF
the crowd driven upon it, precipitating
the mass of people to the ground, so
feet below.
The injured were piled in heaps,
wedged in with broken wood. On
lockers hesitated to approach the
dangling structure at first. but finally
began to utilize portions of the brok-
en barriers as stretchers. A hundred
of the most seriously injured were
carried to the pavilion and to spaces
in the rear of the stands. A majority
of the victims are suffering from brok-
en- ribs and fractured limbs while
some sustained internal injuries.
Six may not recover.

Philadelphia, April 5.-Senator Han
ma was the principal speaker tonight
at the closing of the sixth annual
meeting of the American Academy of
Political and Social Science. He d.
vided his subject with Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, and the question
of the relation of capital and labor
was ably discussed by the two speak
ers. Senator Hanna's topic was: I'm
dustrial Cancellation and Arbitration"
and Gompers spoke on "Its POSSIBLE
tiles and Limitations
Senator Hanna began his address by
referring to the efforts of the National
Civic Federation to effect conditions
Of indsutrial peace. The industrial
department Of the Civic federation, he
said, although only two years old, had
settled seven strikes in three months,
and prevented the occurrence Of two
strikes which would have rendered
idle more than 20O,O 900 men. Said he:
II believe in organized labor, and
it is a demonstrated fact that labor
conditions are benefited when en-
trusted to honest leaders. Organized
labor is a condition that must be met"
Senator Hanna denounced socialism,
as inimical to society and to Industrial
development. Socialistic indeas. he
said, are s.'un-American and unnatural
to us as a people,"
President Gompers' remarks refer
red chiefly to the question of strikes
and lockouts. much as a strike of
iaboring men is to be deplored," he
said, "such action by wage Farmers is

CREWS or EIGHT WISCONSIN,
MILLS WALK OUT.
WANT FEWER HOURS LABOR
Number Of Employees Who Quit IL
1,2oo-About one-Third Of
Strikers Are Girls.

Appleton, Wis, April 5.-The big
strike in the Wisconsin paper manu-.
featuring district, which has been
pending for four months, materialized
this evening, at 6 o'clock, when the
day crews of eight paper mills finish
ed their work and the night crews fail
ed to report for duty.
Such is the information received at
union headquarters here by kilograms
from the various points affected. The
mills where the strike is to have been
inaugurated tonight are two at Kau-
kauna, two at Marinette, two at Grand
Rapids, one at Nekoosa and one at
Port Edward. In all about 500 men
went out tonight.
Part of the employees Of the Outa-
gamie mill at Kaukauna did not strike
but union officials are confident that
they will do SO tomorrow.
Besides the eight mills which struck
tonight there are six other mills where
a strike has been on for from six to
10 weeks. So that IA mills are now
affected and the number Of hands out
is about 1900. About a third Of this
number are girls employed in the fin
ishing rooms. The Ia mills affected
represent a capitalization of between
three and four million dollars. Their
output per day is about $50 TONS.

roll runs in the neighborhood of $780,

The strikers r opposed by an or
%ganization of the owners of % mills
which have refused the short time
schedule demanded.
Both sides are we'll organized and
the fight is likely to be a long and
bitter contest.

ing an interview, says that France
ere long will have to follow the exam
pie Of America, in several states OF
which ONE have equal political
rights with men.
Ministerialists express confidence
that they will be the victors in the
elections. N. Baudin, minister Of pub
tic works; M. Leagues, minister Of
public instruction and worship, and
NJ. De L~anessan, minister Of marine,
appear to be the only members of the
cabinet whose positions are insecure.
M. Waldect-Rosseau, premier, will re-
main in Paris, from which point he
can engineer the whole ministerial
campaign. He can exert, through the
projects, a telling influence in aid Of
the governmental candidates.
It cannot be said that the life of the
republic is at stake in the present
election, which will be a struggle be-
tween the ministerialists and the ad-
versaries Of the government, mainly
composed of nationalists, moderate re-
publicans under N. Meline, and I'M
compromising imperialists, who op-
pose the cooperation Of M. Millerand,
minister Of commerce, with the min
tstry. The present indications lead to
the belief that the last two named will
lose ground.

results of publicity are seen-then
other steps may be necessary. One Of
these steps may have to be revision
of the tariff. But to insist upon taking
that possible step now Is both unnec-
essary and reckless.
For we cannot, without endangering
prosperity, curb the trusts and revise
the tariff at the same time. Our in
dustrial situation Is too complex thus
to be dealt with on all sides at once
To take up both these questions would
call in question the whole foundation
upon which our industrial system is
built.
All lines of industry would halt un-
til the uncertainty as to their future
should be ended. The mill would work
upon positive orders only. The mer-
chant would buy only what he felt
sure he could sell at once. Consumers
would purchase for immediate needs
only Producers would have to wait
until the terms upon which they
should hereafter produce were deter
mined. And such conditions are what
we call hard times"

alton, in which the welfare of all the
people is bound up, it evidently be-
hooves the nation and it's chosen lead

They Hate Tariff. Not Trusts.

The men who are the most vigorous
in their demand for tariff reductions
because of the trusts have always
been opposed to the principle OF pro-
lection. They are making the trusts
an excuse to attack the tariff with the
secret but ultimate aim of entirely
breaking down the tariff wall and sub
iecting the country and It's industries
to the ruinous principles and policy OF
free trade. If there were no trusts
their attacks upon the tariff would
be Just as vigorous as they are to-
day.
These free traders at heart make no
distinction between trusts. They do
not admit that some of them, like the
railroad merger, for instance, or the
smelter trust, have no connection
whatever with the tariff. OF course
they never acknowledge that trusts
exist in free trade countries as well as
in the United States. and that hence
the establishment of free trade would
not prevent great combinations of cap
ital.
It will not take the intelligent Amer
lean public long to see what the situa'
ton really is. Rejoicing in the pros
perity they have, the people will not
be deluded by an attack on the trusts
into opening the gates to the free
traders. When it comes to a matter
of making changes in the tariff they
will intrust the work not to the enc
mics but to the friends of the policy
of protection to American labor and
industries who have demonstrated
their capacity for the work by the
most extraordinary development and
expansion in these United States that
the world has seen in its whole his

ONE THING AT A TIME.
Let the Tariff Alone and Attend to
the Trusts.

-
the Trusts.
The decision reached by the Presi-
dent and the leading Republican sena-
tors with whom he has conferred, not
to attempt tariff revision at the next
session of congress is the only one
expedient at this time.
The industrial situation in this coun-
try is not an abstract mathematical
problem to be solved upon general
principles. In the great field of Ameri-
can prosperity the wheat and the tares
are so intermingled that to adopt any
sweeping method for removing the
tares is to run a great risk of de-
stroying the wheat as well.
The question is: Which do the peo-
pie desire the more-that the over
weening abuses of the trusts be
curbed or that the incidental hard
ships of the tariff be removed?
To that question sober and practical
men have but one answer. Protection
benefits millions who neither gain nor
lose by the trusts. Therefore let the
tariff alone and attend to the trusts.
The first step toward curbing trust
evils is plainly indicated by the facts
and practically agreed upon by all
concerned. It is that these great cor
porations shall give a wholesome pub
licity to their doings. That step can
injure no legitimate enterprise, and
will be opposed by no man whose in
tentions are really honest
When that step is taken-when the
