DENIES TELEGRAPH MERGER

New York, Sept. 3o-Cabie cofnmuni-
cation with the Philippines will be es-
tablished so that the president OF the
United States can send his compliments
TO the governor OF the American posses
sions In the far east on the Fourth OF
July, 1903. That promise was made yes
terday by George c. Ward vice president
OF the Commercial Gable company. which
has undertaken to lay q cable across the
Pacific.
Mr.. Ward returned To New York on
the Celtic, OF the White Star line He
will remain here sevefal weeks. and will
then go TO San Francisco TO take direct
charge OF the work of establishing the
first cable station on the Pacific coast.
1T may be said that the great work is
now under way" said Mr.. Wdrd yester-
day. THE cable is being manufa ctured
I'm England at the rate OF 800 miles a
week. and three cable ships are now sail
ing for the Pacific. The Silverton win
round Cape Horn and will begin dropping
tho wire from the harbor OF San Francis
co. The other two. the Coionia and the
Anglia, will go through the Suez canal
and will begin work on the other side Of
the Pacific.
II see that the rumor has been revived
that there is to be a merger of the West
ern Union and the Postal Telegraph COM
panies. There Is nothing In II. ! sup
pose that some persons believed that be-
cause Of the death OF John w Mackay
we would be weakened and a deal could
be arranged. Mr.. Mackays genius lives
after him. His plans will be carried out.
and there will be no consolidation Of the
two companies"
Travelling with Mr.. Ward on the Celtic
was Thomas Skinner. one OF the directors
of the Canadian Pacific railroad. Mr..
Skinner was asked about the possible
formation Of a steamship corporation TO
rival the one recently formed by J. Pier
pont Morgan.
He replied that It will remain for Sir
Wilfrid Latirier. premier Of Canada, to
settle that question Mr.. Skinner said
that Sir Wilfrid has been enjoying his
trip through Europe thoroughly. Mr..
Skinner smiled when asked about the pro-
French speeches made by the premier
while In Paris. and said:
"Sir Wlfrid Is one OF those men who
are influenced by the air which they
breathe. He is OF French extraction, but
ne is loyal Englishman."

made war for liberty, and now it be-
hooves us all to so effectively perform
our duties as citizens as to make war
against the spirit of anarchy. (Applause)
You did mighty deeds, and you left Us
the memory of how you did them. You
left US not only the victory, but the spirit
that was behind it. In your youth and
manhood you took up the greatest task
that ever fell to any generation Of our
people to perform. You did it well. We
have lesser tasks and yet tasks of vital
importance. Woe to ourselves if we do
not prove worthy to be your successors by
ton as you fought to finish the great
civil war, when you upheld the arms OF
Abraham Lincoln and followed to victory

Another scene of unusual enthusiasm
followed the conclusion of the Presidents

with might and main, stood up in their

Slow Growth of London.

The population of the city of London
in the year 1880 has been estimated at
$4,000 souls. In that year John Lyly
was the most fashionable English author
and Sir Philip Sidney the darling of the
court. Edmund Spenser had just leaped
to his immediate and lasting popularity,
and Shakspere was cOurting Annie Hath
away in the green lanes of Warwickshire,
not a line of his dramas so much as
thought Of 1t was not until % years
later, when King James had come to the
throne, that the city came to number
100000. London was then, as now, the
center OF the English-speaking world, but
that world was smaller in population than
our single States of Pennsylvania or New
York, and interests POLITICAL social and
literary were concentrated in the metrop-
oils to a degree far beyond the present

closing of the war, and the immense mass
of humanity that gathered at Springfield
was filled with patriotic enthusiasm. They
came from all parts of the State, and mt
tingly represented the heat and glow or
public sentiment favoring the prosecution
of the war. These people carried home
with them the story of the great meeting,
and its influence was felt from end TO end
in the State.
THE CONVENTION OF WAR DEMOCRATS
While attending this meeting 1 con-
ceived the idea that it would be a good
stroke of politics and aid the Union cause
to hold a State Mass Convention of Union
War Democrats. A conference upon this
subject was held at the law Office of Gen.
John A. McCIernand. Those in attend
ance were Gen. McClernand, Gen. lsham
n. Haynie, Maj. A. J. Kuykendall. Hon
Eben G. Ingersoll and myself. Haynie
IEsGrsnll and l were appointed a commit
tee to draft a call for State Mass Con-
vention of Union War Democrats to be
held at Decatur during the State Fair.
The call was issued by the five persons
above named and published in a number
of papers. Many other persons Joined in
the call.
The meeting at Decatur was a mass
convention. and was presided over by
Maj. A. J. Kuykendall. The convention
passed series of resolutions favoring the
prosecution of the war, indOrsing the
Emancipation Proclamation, and denounc-
ing the 23d resolution adopted by the Anti
War Democracy at Springfield, June 10.
The speakers on that occasion were my
self and Eben @. Ingersoll.
The meeting was large and enthusiastic
and responded heartily to the proposition
that the Democratic party organization
had forfeited the right to call upon Union
men for support.
The meeting was not designed for the

with such ease and good humor, that it
was an event not to be forgotten.
But the social side of this splendid
meeting did not end with the dispersion
of the crowd. By prearrangement large

THE MEETING AT METROPOLIS.
The meeting had been well advertised,
and every arrangement was made by the
people in general for large attendance.
We soon discovered that many people
who had attended the Spout Spring meet
ing were on the road TO Metropolis to at
tend the meeting there. When we ap-

THE LAW AFTER STRIKERS.
American WooIen Co. Takes Legal
proceedings Against Unruly Ones.

Providence. RI, July 1.-THE Amer
lean Wooden Co. has brought suit in
equity against some of its striking
weavers and has filed it's petition in the
appellate division.
The bill recites that on June 30 some
weavers from Manton We're sent to
North Smithfield to work in Saranac
mills and that the defendants and 9TH
ers gathered at the entrance to Sara
nae mills and assaulted the imported
weavers with stones and other missiles.
1t is alleged that the weavers were
threatened with injury and death and
were compelled to remain in the mills
three days and were then compelled to
leave the Saranac mills, since which
the complainant has been unable ex-
cept by the protection of an armed
force to operate the Saranac mills.
1T is prayed, therefore, that the re-
spondents be enjoined from assaulting,
threatening, intimidating or attempt
ing to intimidate the employees at the
Saranac mills and from in any way
interfering with the conduct of the
cornpany's business. A temporary in
junction and a permanent restraining
order are asked.
