There are few men living who can

or the Rothschilds. But any man
can be independent who will be dill
gent and saving, who will keep out of
debt, who will spend less than he
makes and make as much as his in
dustry and honor can secure. No
man is rich whose expenditures ex-
coed his means. And no man Is poor
whose incoming exceed his outgoing

who will save $50 a year from his

1t is no basely material counsel to
urge, AS IsgO did, put money in thy

power is opportunity, and opportuni-

is duty, aud duty is the highest guide

was selfish and base aud vile, and in

ENGLAND HAS HER TROUBLE.

+ ONDON. July 3.-When the vote for
Il the foreign Office came up in the
house of commons today, the gov
ernment's foreign policy came in for
considerable criticism.
Sir Charles Dixie, advanced radical,
said he wanted to know if there had
been any real negotiations with France
looking to the settlement of the French
shore (New Foundland) dispute, and
he further declared that British rec
ognition of French rights to the Hin
teriand of Tripoh endangered the ira
ditional friendship of Great Britain and
Italy.
The new arrangements between
France and Italy. he further asserted.
fa6 entirely upset the British situa-
ton in the Mediterranean and eastern
Europe. They had been made in order
to put the screws on Great Britain. The
feebleness of the governments policy
in China showed the absence of a pre-
siding mind
Sir Charles also referred TO the hos
tility TO Russia involved in the Japan
csc alliance, and he advocated that
clear definition Of the respective inter-
ests Of Great Britain and Russia could
possibly be secured by some sort of an
arrangement with the car himself
Continuing. Sir Charles asked if there
was any secret understanding with
Germany regarding her access to the
Persian gulf, and urged the fostering
of friendship with France He con-
cluded with moving a reduction of the
salary of the foreign secretary, Lord
Lansdowne-
Thomas Gibson Bowles, conservative,
seconded the motion. He said he re-
GREETED the subserviency of the foreign
Office toward Germany, declaring she
was the disturbing influence in China,
and that Emperor Williams telegram
to Mr.. Kruger was largely responsible
for the feeling that produced the Boer
war.
Henry Norman. liberal, wanted to
know IL the government realized that
Germany had practically secured ex-
elusive rights in the Shan Tung penin-
sula, and that Russia had secured a
monopoly of the enormously valuab bic
mines Of Manchuria.

A GOOD THING
FOR ENGLAND
Explains Morgan Combine to
House of Commons Committee.
FavoRs SHIP SUBSIDIES
SAYS COMMUNITY OF INTER
ESTs Is SATISFACTORY.

I ONDON, July 3.-The committee Of
l., the house Of commons, appointed
to inquire into the question of sub
sides, today heard William J. Pirrie,
chairman of the Harland & Wolff Ship
building company. This witness. who
figured so prominently in the recent J.
Pierpont Morgan ship combination, ex-
pressed the opinion that subsidies were
given merely as a bounty and served
to encourage in efficiency, and that even
where they could be legitimately be-
slowed the tendency of subsidies would
be to foster individual as against gem
eral interests. Mr.. Pirrie regarded for
eign subsidies as a. blessing in dis
guise. as they stimulated British ship
owners to keep more abreast of the
times.
Replying TO a question of the chair
man, Mr.. Pirrie said the Morgan COM
bine, which he proceeded to call a
Community of interest" was estab-
lished purely for commercial purposes
and on entirely business principles. He
was convinced that a dangerous inter-
national situation was rapidly ap-
preaching at the time the deal was
effected, but by the creation of this
community of interests the future of
the British shipping as well as of Brit
In short. Mr.. Pirrie considered the
deal to be in every way satisfactory to
the British. Giving subsidies would only
invite retaliation in the most important
markets of the world. The extent of
state assistance to German shipping
was greatly exaggerated.
Mr.. Pirrie also said that the feeling
against the combitation was due to
misapprehension. All they had been
doing was to act on the advice of the
Prince of Wales when he said Eng
land must wake up" Mr.. Pirrie
thought that the best way for the gov
eminent TO help British shipping was
20 deepen the approaches to and other
wise improve the chief ports.
Mr.. Pirrie added that British partici-
patton in the future in the worlds car
rying trade would depend less on sub
sides than ON imported business meth
DDS. He did not think it possible that
subsidies would prevent the transfer
of such ships as those of the White
Star line to Americans

Rebels Garry American Arms

1CTORIA. 3. C., July 2.-The North
China Daily News makes the as
sertion that half of the arms and
ammunition in the hands of the rebels
were obtained from America. not few
having been carried across the United
States borders into the Central and
South American states, and thence
shipped to southern China. The bal
ance OF the modern arms of precision
owned by the rebels were formerly the
property Of the government and are
held by ex-regular troops, portion of
whom forcibly retained their arms
when they disbanded by orders of the
Two kuang government, while the
balance were carried off by troops who
mutinied and Joined their fellow pro-
ylncials through sympathy with the re-
belllon. These last are in arms for po-
htlcal purposes, and steadfastly follow
nxed purpose in conjunction with the
rebels proper. The former, or disband-
ed seldiery, true to their marauding
instincts, are great towards and mere
ly plumber and murder for the pleas
ure of the thing, making no distinction
between government officials, traders
or armed rebels. The disbanded SOL
diery, in whose ranks are also the reg
ular pirates and brigands of the Two
kuang provinces, when met with are
unhesitatingly attacked by the rebels
proper and eXterminated as vermin.
The Pekin correspondent of the Nichi
Nichi of Toxic says:
The governor of Kwangsi has teIe-
graphed secretly to the government
that the Catholic converts are support
ing the rebels and supplying them with
arms and ammunition. The rebels os-
tensibly declare that they are to pro-
tect converts and merchants
The foreigners, therefore. do not op-
pose the movement of the converts.
The government has replied, instruct
ing the governor to institute an imme-
date inquiry as to whether French
subjects are supporting the rebels, and
TO protest to the French consul if this
is found to be the case.
The governor of Kwangsi has also
reported to the government that the
position of the rebels has been grow
ing stronger day by day, and that his
troops are not strong enough to re-
store order. The governor asked the
government to send him reinforce
ments. The government, after a con-
sultation with Viceroy Yuan. decided
TO send six companies of Chi Ii troops

TRACY'S BLOOD RECORD
IN UTAH AND COLORADO

This most recent bloody record es-
tablished by Tracy is no surprise to the
officers here, where Tracy is well
known for his desperate bloodthirsty-
ness. He has a dark record in Utah as
well as in the northwest. and the Of
ficers here say he is the kind of GRIM
inal that will never be captured alive
again.
Tracy was arrested in Provo in 1897
and sentenced to serve time in the state
prison for burglary He had been in
the prison but a short time when he
made his escape by employing the most
daring methods He and a number of
other convicts were working in the
rock quarries near the penitentiary un-
der a guard, when Tracy cleverly
trapped the guard by bending his
shovel and getting the guard to assist
in mending it. Catching the guard
unexpectedly, he covered him with a
revolver and forced him to exchange
clothing. The guard was disarmed
and the convicts escaped, Tracy and a
companion running towards Parley's
canyon.
While they were escaping they were
recognized and fired at Tracy re-
turned the fire and hurried on. Fur
Their up the canyon they met man
and his wife travelling in a buggy, and
at the point of a revolver took the rig
away from them and drove away.
Tracy was next heard of in Colorado
where he was arrested. but escaped
by beating the guards of the prison at
Steamboat Springs into insensibility.
He was again captured, but for the
third time beat the guard almost to
death and escaped.
Tracy was for time one of the
leaders of the Wall gang
and was a terror to the state. He was
a side companion of the notorious
Butch Cassidy and is said to have been
with that desperate in most of his
bloody raids. BY the officers here
Tracy is regarded as the most desper-
ate criminal ever captured in the state
of Utah.

Omaha, Neb.. July S.-The strike of
the machinists and boiler makers on
the Union Pacific railroad took on more
serious proportions today when the
car builders and blaclzsmiths and their
helpers. numbering 325 men,. declared
themselves opposed to the piece work
system being inaugurated in the shops.

car builders had settled their differ

If the company insists on enforcing
the new system. il is probable that

that there was nothing new in the
