to save his life amputationiwas resort
ed to, the member being removed near

LONGSHOREMEN AND
TUGMEN GET TOGETHER
Former Have Almost Entire Control Of
the Handling of Freight on
Lake Vessels.

CHICAGO, July 21.-A long stride in
the direction of enrolling every worker
engaged in operating vessels on the
great lakes was taken today by the ex-
ecutive board of International Long
shoremen, Marine and Transportation
Workers association, when action was
taken to admit every local branch Of
the licensed Tugmen's Protective as
sociation to membership. This will
give the Longshoremen's association
almost entire control of the handling
Of all classes of freight carried in lake
vessels, and also over the workmen en-
gagged in plotting them in and out Of
port.
What effect the new alliance will
have on the strike now being conduct
ed by the licensed tug men against the
Great Lakes Transportation company
at almost every port on the Great
Lakes, President ID. ]. Keefe refused
to state tonight, but ii is possible that
the longshoremen will refuse to load
or unload vessels handled by tugs now
under the ban of their new alliance.
The licensed tug mems organization
has over $500 members, divided among
twenty eight local unions on the chain
of lakes.

APPOINTMENT DECLINED
BY SENATOR M'LAURIN
~ Accept Place on Court of
Claims Bench.

OYSTER BAY, July 21.-President
Roosevelt is in receipt of a letter from
Senator John l.. McLaurin, of South
Carolina, declining the proffered ap-
pointment to the vacancy on the bench
of the United States court of claims.
The president regrets McLaurin's de-
cision, as he believes that McLaurin's
senatorial experience and his career
at attorney general of South Carolina
would render him particularly good
addition to the court of claims.
The president now is uncertain what
he will do about Senator McLaurin. 1t
is understood that he is anxious to
appoint him to some position in rec
ognition OF what the president regards
as his services to the country and his
demonstrated ability in public life.
Senator McLaurin's letter is couched
IN the most positive terms, and evil
IDENTIFY was based in particular upon
newspaper article which accompa-
MED the letter. The article stated
that the senator had sold himself for
the prospect of getting such an office
as that offered him. 1t can be said,
however, that the. president regarded
such a type Of accusation as beneath
notice, and regrets that Senator Nc
Laurin should. have deemed it neces-
sary to pay any attention to it.
Senator McLaurin evidently has
changed his mind about accepting the
proffered appointment since he was in
Oyster Bay on July II. At that time
he indicated his readiness to accept
the vacancy Of the court of claims, and
the only question then was when he
should resign from the senate.

ANTI-IMPERIALISTS TO
MEET AT LAKE GEORGE
Facts Brought Out by Investigation
May Be Laid Before Roosevelt.

BOSTON, Mass, July 21-A number
of the anti-imperialists, of this city,
including Charles Francis Adams,
Moorfield Storey and Julian Goldman,
left tonight for Bottoms Landing, Lake
George, to join other leaders of this
movement at a meeting of the special
committee appointed last spring to in
vestigate affairs in the Philippines and
secure the publicity of the facts. The
meeting will be held at the home Of
Hon. Carl Schurz. Herbert Welsh, of
Philadelphia, and many of the West
ern leaders in the movement, will also
be present. The object is to canvass
the investigation that has been made
and discuss the present situation.
Inasmuch as Andrew Carnegie, the
chairman of the committee, is now in
Europe, temporary chairman will be
chosen, but the entire proceedings will
be communicated to Mr.. Carnegie by
cable.
1t has been the belief that the anti
imperialist movement was dying out,
but these leaders say that they are
determined to press the issue with
more vigor than ever. 1t is possible
that at the conclusion of the meeting
a statement of facts developed will
be sent to President Roosevelt.

AIR LINE FROM GREAT
LAKES TO SEABOARD
Union Trust Company, of Baltimore,
Completes Deal That May Pan
Out Large.

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 21.-An air
line from the great lakes to the South
Atlantic seaboard is made possible by
a deal which has been practically con-
summated by the Union Trust cpmpa-
ny, of this city. That company has
just completed arrangements to finance
the extension of the old Ohio River
& Charleston railroad, from the coal
fields of West Virginia to Lincolnton,
N. G.
1t has been decided also, it is under
stood, to extend this road northward
to Ironton, Ohio, where it will connect
with the Detroit Southern. Samuel
Hunt, president of the latter road, is
also president of the Ohio River &
Charleston, which was recently taken
over by new company, known as the
South & Western. At Lincolnton the
road will CONNECT with the Seaboard
Air Line, with which company close
agreements for the interchange of
traffic have been made.
The line will be the shortest from the
West Virginia coal fields to the sea
and If the extension to Ironton is built,
it will give the Seaboar6 an independ-
ent and short route to the great lakes.

NEW NATIONAL PARTY
IS IN INCUBATION
Messrs. Pettigrew, Dubois and Others
Trying to Unity the Liberal
Democracy"

NEW YORK, July 21.-At a confer
ence just held at Manhattan Beach, in
which the principal participants were
United States Senator f. T. Dubois, of
Idaho; ex-senator r. F. Pettigrew, of
South Dakota; Prof Garrett Droppers,
OF South Dakota, for ten years profess
Sor of political economy in the Impe-
rial university, Toxic, and George Shib-
ley OF Washington, plans were dis
cussed for the organization of a new
national party. The new party seems
to be an effort to unity the so-calIed
liberal Democracy, which already has
state organizations in New York, Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and Iowa.
Mr.. Shibley presented complete
outline of plan for a national organi-
Zation on lines similar to those of the
state organizations of the Liberal De-
mocracy. At the close of the confer
ence Senator Pettigrew gave a state
ment in which he said:
Mr.. Bryan will not be the candidate
of the regular Democracy in 1904, but
he and his friends hope that he will
have much to say regarding the plat
form and the management of the cam
paign. If he, does not, Mr.. Bryan and
his associates will form new party,
based on the Kansas City platform.
Free silver will not again be political
issue. When we demanded the free
coinage OF silver we wanted more
money. Since then immense new gold
fields in Alaska and South Africa have
been opened; there is more money than
ever before and greater prosperity.
This result is what we predicted when
we asked for more money, Times are
good in the West, in spite of the beef
trust, farmers get more for their cat
tie and higher prices for their cereals.
But, on other principles aside from
silver, the West has not changed. We
adhere to the, original principles of
Democracy, although the country is
fast drifting away from all it's own
moorings. The main trouble is the
departure from the original form of
government. A Fourth of July grafton
of ten years ago will not fit today"
Mr.. Shibley, who drafted the outline
of the new party, said: II have been
engaged for years in the effort to es-
tablish the referendum, not as party
issue, but as an essential to majority
rule. We have now an organization in
each state which intends to put all
candidates on record on this question
and it is bound to be adopted and made
g. campaign issue, sooner or later.'
