THE Delaware republicans are becom-
ing frightened at the political outlook in
their State and fear that if the cleo
ton of two United States Senators
is left over till the next legislature
is chosen that body will be demo-
cratic and elect two Senators of that
faith, so move has been set on foot
to call special session Of the present
legislature TO elect Senators. The plan
is thought to mean that J. Edward Ad-
dicks will withdraw from the contest for
the Senate for two years with the hope
that he may be elected at the end of that
time.

ADangerous CROSSING.

Chicago, Oct. l7.-Four miles east Of
Hammond, the Wabash railway spans
the big Calume. with huge wooden
bridge built on trestles. The structure
had been giving heofiicials some concern
of late, but the Buffalo Limited approach
ed it last night at accustomed speed.
When the locomotive reached the middle
of the bridge crackling'of timbers was
heard and felt by the engineer. The CEN
trail span if the trestle work had succum-
bed to the weight of the engine and the
engineer thought his train was going down
under him. He opened wide the throttle
and over the trembling woodwork the
limited jumped at full speed. A small
seized panic seized the 800 passengers as
they felt the train swaying beneath them.
The train passed off the trestle insafety.

THE COAL MINERS strike of 1902, an
epoch in the country's history, i;
virtually no more, and the sky is
becoming clearer each day. Active
preparations are being made by the
railroad companies to ship coal, and in
short time the much-needed fuel will
be in transitu toall parts of the country.
From those in positions to know it is
learned that prices will not be materi-
ally higher than those prevailing previ-
Gus to the strike. The changed condi-
tons are being hailed with delight from
one end of the land to the other. The
lessons to be learned from this fierce
struggle are many, and should teach
both parties to the conflict to practice
moderation in the future and to settle
variations, which are bound to occur in
all walks of life, before issues are
brought to crises which are TO conyulse
the nation and produce yicarious suffer
ing to millions who had nothing to do
with the questions at issue. If miners
have anv orievances-and no one doubts
they have at times-they should be
examined into and wherever real
wrong or injustice is being prac-
ticed the appeals of the petitioner
SHOULD be entertained and their
grievances remedied as soon as possible.
On the other hand the toilers in the
bowels of the earth should remember
that their employers have rights they
should respect, and when deadlocks
occur between the two factions, derall-
ing trains, assaulting fellow-workmen
and terrorizing communities will soon
cause them to lose the sympathy of the
world. no matter how serious their
grievances may have been. Old Hsop
wears before the dawn of the Christian
era in bis fable describing the dispute
between the north wind and the sun
showed the folly of force attempting to
fight against gentle suasion. Human
nature is the same now as in the days OF
the fabulist. There is something in all
men averse to coercion, while there
are few who are not susceptibleto reason
if entreated in the right spirit. Bu'
generation after generation have to be
taught the same lessons as the years
come and 60. 1t is hoped, however,
that the history of the past six months
will be profitable to all classes in the
United States. And now that tranquility
has supplanted the defiant spirit which
has actuated both operators and miners
at times, may the best feeling hereafter
exist between both.

ANOTHER SOURCE OF ANXIETY.

Dispatches from Constantinople re-
ceived in London last night throw new
light on the significance Of Russia's en-
ergetic diplomatic advances toward Tur-
key, which arouse growing anxiety
throughout Europe. A correspondent
who has just arrived at Bucharest after a
period of investigation at the head sources
in the Turkish capital, writes that Rus
STA. during the recent demonstrations,
offered Turkey to renew the treaty of
1888, known as the Unkiar Skelessi
treaty, which described itself as the re-
suit of most ardent desire to insure the
duration, maintenance, and entire in
dependence of the Sublime Porte. 1t
bound Russia at the request of Turkey
to furnish by land or sea as many troops
and forces az the two contracting parties
should deem necessary. The Porte un-
dertook on the request of Russia,
and in time of war, not to per-
nit any foreign warships to enter the
Black Sea on any pretense whatever.
The treaty, which, generally speaking,
indicated the dependence of Turkey on
Russia by providing that the latter
should be especially called in whenever
required, lasted eight years. 1t was not
renewed owing to the opposition of the
western powers. Russia, however, now
not only proposes to renew it, but to in
troduce important strengthening articles.
The correspondent adds that important
advisers of the Sultan are disposed to
entertain it although majority of his
encourage is hostile. The Sultan's per-
sonal attitude is unknown beyond that
in his present isolation it is thought that
he is disposed to yield if Russia's pro-
posal is put forward as request, The
evidence goes to show that Russia will
not allow herself to be bafiled by the
usual Turkish policy of procrastnation.
The manifest anxiety at the revival of
Russian energy is keenest at Vienna,
where DIR. Won Koerber, the Austrian
prime minister made the important an
nouncement that it was proposed to set
tie the Dardanelles question by arbitra
ton.
