The London Daily News, in an edi-
torial discussing William T. Stead's
pamphlet on "The Americanization of
the World" admits that Mr.. Glad
stones prophecy that the United States
would replace Great Britain as the
premier commercial nation has been,
on the whole, realized; but it declares
it to be utterly impossible that Great
Britain, as Mr.. Stead extravagantly
suggests could ever enter an American
union except after a series Of disas-
ters rendering separate existence i'm
possible. The paper considers any
kind Of an Anglo-American federation
equally unlikely, owing to the BrltOn's
Unsuitable love of caste, which led Cob
den to insist that Englishmen were
arlstocrats rather than democrats. For
the rest, 1t confesses the enormous In
huenee which the United States WELD
over the British colonies and that
majority Of Irishmen would vote for
federation with the United States.

RIDING ON AN AuroMosILE.
Racer Describes His Sensations During
Fast Spin.


What are the sensations of a racing
automobilist? A good many people
have, no doubt, asked this question
mentally the past week, especially
those who saw the races at Oakley last
Monday. A Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune man put the query into words
on that day and while the crowd was
waiting for Fournier and his Blue
Devil and Mr.. John Duttenhofer, who
had made a good race in the first
event, answered it by inTiting him
and two others to take a spin around
the track in his automobile.
AS the machine whirled out OF the
paddock and onto TIE track the wind
struck It with full force, but mo
speedy little racer seemed not to ndnd
that a whit. In a moment 1t had
spun past the grand stand and was
taking the first run like a thorough
bred. People, fences, and the land
scape in general now seemed to be a
rapidly moving panorama so fast and
smoothly did the auto run, while
look at the ground made the riders
think that yards and yards Of dun
colored ribbon were being reeled off
beneath them. Almost before they
realized it they were half way round,
whirring softly over the course and
leaving a little cloud of snow-white
steam in their wake.
AS they turned into the home stretch
the wind caught them again, and those
who rode let go their hold on the seats
long enough to turn up their coat cols
lars.
"It is more like sleighing on a
packed road of snow than anything
I can think Of" said one.
The next minute the quiet little
auto had come to stop at the pad
dock gate and the race against the
novice's ignorance-for there was
nothing else to race against-was at an
end.
YES" said Mr.. Duttenhofer "it is
like sleighing, especially on day like
this. Take a look at the rear Of the
machine as we run in; even the auto
can see lite breath"

Deputy Consul-General Hanaue, at
Frankfort, Germany, writes Europe's
population is, according to official CEN
suses taken in 1900 and 1901, about
95,OOO0O0 persons. This is 100000
of an increase above the count in 1886.
In that year there were in Europe 105
cities leach containing over 100000 in
habitants) with a total population Of
3S $40 million people. Now the num-
ber Of such cities is LAG, and they ag-
gregate 46 $40 million population. 1t
is a notable feature that the drift of
population is toward the towns and
big cities, while the agricultural Sec
tiOn, i. e., the rural parts, steadily de-
cline in the number Of their inhabit-

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

Mahanoy City, Pa, Aug. 19.-After
the shooting of Patrick Sharp, the strike
leader, no further disturbance occurred,
at Nesqehoning in the Panther Creek
Valley during the night. Hundreds of
strikers walked the streets of the town
all night, however, and the situation at
several times grew grave and threatening.
The civil authorities with the help of
the cooler headed miners succeeded in
pacifying the men. At daybreak bat
talon of the Twelfth regiment consist
ing of five companies arrived on the
scene from Shenandoah Five deputies
are now confined in the Mauch Chunk
Jail charged with being implicated in the
riot. The situation at Shenandoah con-
tinues quiet.
Wilkesbarro. Pa, Aug. 19.-The
Warnke Bros, are determined to start
their washery at Duryea tomorrow. This
morning at 6 o'clock forty new men
arrived on special car. Steam has
been gotten up and every preparation
made for tomorrow's resumption. Duryea
at the present time, seems to be the
pivotal point of the strike situation, and
the attention of all interested in the
present trouble seems directed toward it.
While the Warnkes are determined to
make an effort to resume operations, to-
morrow, the strikers manifest equal de-
termination to prevent any such move
ment; they also realize that this, while
only washery, under ordinary circum-
stances employing fifty men, is the
storm centre at the present time. That
trouble is feared tomorrow is shown by
the active preparations being made to
meet any move on the part of the strik-
ers calculated to prevent the starting of
the works. Additional arms have been
procured, the force of coal and iron
policemen has been augmented and other
preparations made to prevent any inter-
ference, from the strikers when the Sec
Ond determined effort is made to start
the works.
Scranton, Pa, Aug. 1.-Two men
were shot from ambush at the Edgerton
colliery, near Mayfeld, about IL O'Clock
last night. Michael Connolly, a fore
man at the Edgerton, and Forest Cross
man are the victims of the night as
sassin. At the hospital this morning
Crossmans right leg was amputated.
The shooting has aroused the indigna-
ton of the community. The Edgerton
washery has been working steadily for
the past several weeks. The people in
the vicinity, all strikers, have not
molested the workmen in any way,
Lansford p, Aug. i9.-The presence of
troops has restored Panther Greek Valley to
state of absolute quiet. Five companies Of the
Twelfth regiment, under the personal com
mand Of Brig Gen. Goblin, are now encamped
in a pavilion at Manila Park, situated mid
way between this city and Tamaqua. This
morning George Ronemus, one of the deputies,
in last nights fracas, at Nesquehoning, gave
himself up to the authorities as Patrick
Sharp's slayer. He was hurried to Mauch
Chunk Jail, where he will be held pending
developments. He claims to have shot
Sharp in self defense. Deputy McElyoyie,
who was arrested last night, charged with
killing Sharp, is still in Jail.

As WAS suggested yesterday, Wash
ingtonians who exhibited so much in
terest in what was said to be going on in
Rosslyn on Sundays have discovered
that the latest infractions of the Sunday
law were carried on by club from that
city. 1t is charged that not only adults
but children were furnished with beer
last Sunday-that, is parents purchased
it from the club and gave it to their off
spring. The excuse for all this is that
the club is made up of Germans and
that in the old country people take their
families to beer gardens where the men,
bers drink ad libitum. All this may be
true, but it seems that sentiment stirred
up in Washington by papers of that city

THEDUCHEsS ON AMERICAN SOIL

New York, Aug. l9.-The Duchess Of
Marlborough, known to Americans as
Consuelo Vanderbilt before her marriage
to the Duke of Marlborough, get foot on
American soil today for the first time
since her wedding, seven years ago.
She arrived on the Kronprinz Wilhelm,
and was accompanied by her mother,
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, and Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. X. Vanderbilt, jr. the latter
sister of Mrs. Charles l.. Fair. The
information that Charles l.. Fair and his
wife had come to an untimely end in an
automobile in France caused intense
sorrow and may change the plans of the
Duchess, who had only intended to re-
main five weeks. The Duke is in Eng
land and probably intends to live up to
his vow never TO visit this country again.
Mrs. VIM. X. Vanderbilt jr., who was
Miss Virginia Fair, displayed deep
emotion, when informed of the death of
her brother and sister-in-law.

For SOME TIME past the United
States Senate has been spoken Of as
"millionaires' club" for the reason that
in every section of the country, except
the South it is almost impossible for
man of ordinary means to be elected
Senator. This, in a democratic country,
is bad enough in all conscience, but
some of the millionaire Senators have
conceived the idea of making the Senate
an hereditable body and in all proha-
bility their money will enable them to
succeed if they combine and form 3
trust The first movement in this d.
rection was made and successfully exc
cuted by the late Senator Cameron Of
Pennsylvania, who, by means Of h
money, had his son, Donald Cameron,
elected to succeed him when he retire d
from the Senate. What has once been
done can be done again and now it is
stated that for some years past the late
Senator Mcmillan, of Michigan, had his
son in training to succeed him and that,
by the liberal use of his millioes lie
would have stepped down and out when
his term expired and let the younger
Mcmillan take his place in the Senate.
The death of the Senator may not inter
fere with this plan for intelligence from
Michigan is to the effect thatyoung Nc
MILAN is of the opinion that "by rights
he should succeed his father in the Sen
ate and that he may yet do so. There
is also a report that Senator Quay, Ct
Pennsylvania, is growing weary of the
Senate and is planning to have his sob
succeed him in that body. The Senator
is rich, holds the whip hand in republi-
can politics in his State and there is
every reason to believe that should he
really wish to do so he can place his
toga upon his sons shoulders and retire
from the Senate. Other Senator'S are
said to entertain the heredity ideas and
the name of the next one to announce
them is awaited with interest
