The Swindler Appears.

A man giving his name as Bruce Beach

the great fortune appeared at the Beach
home here. He made the members of
the family believe that an El Dorado OF
wealth had been left them and that all
they had TO do was to go West and Sc

He said that he would charter a spe-

to buy all the handsome dresses. neces-

plans.
Beach. who had so far succeeded in
successfully conducting his scheme, was
partaking OF the hospitality Of the fam

genealogy Of the Beaches, for he seemed

REAR ADMIRAL WINFIELD SCOTT SCHLEY.

Chicago, Jan. IA book entitled
"Schley and Santiago" is on the press
in this city and will be bound within
ten days. The author is George Z.
Graham, n war correspondent who was
on the Brooklyn during the fight with
the Spanish feet and thus in a position
to tell the story of Santiago without
fear or favor" The book is said to
have the unqualified Endorsement OF
Rear Admiral Schley, who read and
corrected the proof sheets. When
President Roosevelt was Governor of
New York he was present when Ora
ham gave an account Of the battle to
State officials and members of the
Legislature and said: "a am sure you
feel as pleased at having listened to
Mr.. Graham as do, for have listen,
ed to the best account | have ever
heard or read of the naval fighting
during this war"
This book Is the first and only com.
plete story of the work OF the flying
squadron, commanded by Schley.
Graham was assisted by his camera.
which enabled him to add many inter.
csting features. to the situation, and
the description of the movements OF
the fleet and the battle is evidently
sincere. II is free OF virulent and per.
sonal attacks; the aim being to give a
truthful statement of every occur
renee
In connection with the arrival OF
the New York, Graham says: Tho
Commodore reached over to me, took
my glasses and looked searchingly to
the east saying slowly as he did so:
There is the Texas and there is the
Vixen, but | don't see the New York.
And as he kept the glasses up, in an
instant he had evidently found her
for he remarked: Yes, there she is

was at Las o'clock, and the Colon had

Cook had received the surrender al

distance, Commodore Schley ordered

"A portion of the British press, with
the Times at its head. has started a
campaign Of calumny against the Brit
ish workman. II Is only when that same
workman deserts his craft and dons
martial uniform that he can hope to
find favor in their sight. In civil life
bricklayers, carpenters, masons and
laborers are vile shirkers of work,
whose sole study is how best to neglect
their duty. On the warpath these
same men are transformed into heroes,
whose devotion to duty none dare
question"
This quotation Is the opening para
graph of a letter from a British work
man which appeared recently In the
Daily News. In striking way 1t calls
attention to the current controversy in
regard to trade uniOnism. The point
in immediate dispute Is, whether trade
unions have or have not COunselled
their members to limit output, and thus
make room for more hands. by doing
their days work on what is called the
"go-easy" principle. But there is also
the policy of trade uniOnism in En-
gland is not putting this country at a
ruinous disadvantage in the competi-
ton ii meets from such countries as
Germany and the United States.
To support the charge of Sinking,
the case of briCklayers Is cited Twenty
years ago says the Times, the brick
10 hpi al :
a day when on ordinary work, and on
some kinds of work would even lay
1900 a day, whereas the unwritten law
now in force declares that briCklayer
must go easy" and not lay. on ordi-
nary work. more than 400 bricks day.
Here Is specific allegation and 1t has
been frankly met. The general secre'
tary OF the Operative Bricklayers' So
ciety Is John Bachelor. Interviewed
on recent date this gentleman denied
that there was any unwritten law re-
stricting men in their output of work
and characterized as "ridiCulously UNI
true" the statement that there had been
a drop on ordinary work from a thou
sand bricks a day to four hundred.
1t thus remains TO be proved that
the output of British labor has been
restricted by any formal requirement
of trade unionism or even with its con-
nivance But there is another way In
which it is unquestionably restricted,
an dthat is by the constitutional disin'
clination OF the British workman to
"get a hustle on hm." There may be
no rule of a society saying go easy"
nor any watchword of this kind passed
around among gangs of workmen, but
there is certainly a rule Of English hui
man nature to that effect.
That the English workman cannot
successfully compete in skill and quick
ness with the American workman
would be more to his discredit than It
Is were there not so many proofs that
the man who employs him stands in
the same relation of inferiority to the
American capitalist. Like master like
man, and as the Prince of Wales said

ROBERT OXNARD TALKS
ON BEET SUGAR

New York, Jan. 15.-Robert Oxnard
vice president of the American Beet
Sugar Co., returned to New York to-
day, after a considerable absence in
southern California. His brother Hen
ry T. Oxnard, is still in Washington
where he will probably remain until
Congress takes final action upon the
sugar tariff.
The struggle between the Sugar COM
bine and the beet sugar manufacturers
is of especial interest in California,
where the beet sugar industry is Of
great and growing importance. A
strong effort Is being made by those
interested in the industry to induce
Congress to maintain a sufficient tariff
on the Cuban product to give protec-
ton to beet sugar manufactured in this
country Robert Oxnard, who has CIV
en- much time and thought to the in
dustry, discussed the subject at his
Office, and presented some new and
forcible arguments in favor Of protect
