Two More Deaths as Result OF Expio-
sion at Sheraden, Pa.
Pittsburg, May 14.-The casualty list
resulting from Mondays disaster at
Sheraden continues to grow. Two
deaths were reported this morning, Al
bert Berry, aged 10, and Conrad Fieke,
43, swelling the death list to twenty
six. The number of injured is con-,
stantly increasing and now exceeds $50.
Many, however, are not serious. The

The official list of deaths from the
Sheraden explosions as reported to the
coroner up to 1 o'clock this afternoon
shows but seventeen names. The dis
crepancy in the official list and the one

fact that some victims of the explosion
wer. wronefully identified by over-anx-
ious friends and In this way two and
three names We're given for one body.

Fixed Scale Of Wages.

G. w. Post. who is we'll known as a
wealthy manufacturer, of Battle
Creek, Mich. makes good suggestion
in an open letter to the public through
the newspapers of that city, that all
labor unions, all employers OF labor,
capitalists and all others interested get
together and sign an agreement fixing
the scale of wages for all kinds of la
Dor for a definite period.
In this way Mr.. Post believes all
misunderstanding, all uncertainty
and all liability, Of strikes will be
avoided. An iron clad contract should
be drawn up whereby all parties con-
cerned shall be bound to certain con-
ditio-s, then there will be no trouble.
The inventor can estimate accurately
what q building enterprise will cost, a
c0aaractor can know exactly what his
work will amount to and the laborer
and workman of every class can be
sure OF the wages he will receive.

with him if he is not" Bryan de-
nounces this remark as blood thirsty
and imperialistic and an evidence in
the speaker of shocking moral de-
formity. But the presidents mean
ing is perfectly clear to any one who
does not exist in an atmosphere of
fantastic political fallacies. As long
as wars are found to be necessary the
president beliveS in the aggressive
military leader. He would choose the
type of Grant and Sheridan in prefer
ence to that of Mcclellan and Halleck.
In dealing with the problems of the
civil war President Lincoln who is not
held to have been blood thirsty or NOR
ally deformed, reached the same con-
clusion with the merciful result that
the conflict was soon ended,
Does Bryan consider StonewallJack-
son general whose career was blood
thirsty and marked by moral deform-
ity? Jackson was soldier who, in

The death of Senator Mcmillan, of
Michigan, was a great shock TO the
people of that state and to the leading
men of the nation, coming as it did
when he was supposed to be in perfect
health. AS concIliator of conflicting
interests in his own state and in the
nation his place will be hard to fill.
He was wealthy but he was always
willing to aid every good cause. His
we'll known benevolence made him
popular with the masses. He gave Of
his riches most generously and un-
grudgingly. Educational and benev-
olent institutions received thousands
upon thousands of dollars from him.
The worthy poor never appealed to
him in vain. To young men, begin
ners in business undertakings, he was
very helpful. He started out poor
boy, worked his way to the front,
proSpered toan eminent degree, and
gave of his means freely to every en-
terprise that he deemed worthy of en-
enlargement.
