TO DIVERT RIVER CHANNEL
Cherry Island Marsh Owners Hear RHmOr
That Engineers Have 80 Planned

Owners of Cherry Island marsh hear
that it is the intention of the United
States engineers in charge OF the Della
ware river improvement to make AN
island Of the marsh land, and 10 do
away with the western channel in, the
river. So persistent is the rumor that
several officers of the marsh company
including William Lawton. may go
Washington, and If the report is found
to be true. will bring influence to bear
on the engineers TO have the plants
altered.
While Senators Gray and Higgins
were in the United States Senate it was
planned to do away with the Delaware
channel, but opposition by them to the
project caused a postponement of the
work Former Congressman Handy
and Congressman Ball since have pre-
vented the changes being made in the
channel, but it now appears that tie
engineers are determined to change the
course Of the channel by shoaling the
Delaware shore of the ri lcr, and. fur
thrmore to make Cherry Island a
dumping ground for the river mud.

May COMPEL
ARBITRATION
Legislature May Convene TO
E0d Coal Strike
GOVERNOR SAYS NOTHING
Said That He ROuId Call Session II
Members Would Enact COmpul-
SOry Arbitration Law
GOVERNOR SAYS NOTHING

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept - Among
the rumors in the air is that an extra
session of the legislature Is one Of
the possibilities. for the purpose of en-
acting a law to compel arbitration be-
tween employer and employe. There
is nothing definite concerning it, and
Governor Stone, who alone has the
power to call the extra session, will
not say anything about it. It is pretty
certain that If influential citizens in
the state will ask the governor land
some have already done sol to call
an extra session, and the governor is
assured that a majority of the legisla-
ture will enact a compulsory arbitra-
ton law, he will issue the call.
In his message to the legislature at
the last session Governor Stone called
attention to the labor dispute at Shen-
audoah in the fall of 1900, the calling
out of the troops at great expense and
the fact that the mines were idle for
a long time, and requested the enact
ment Of a law that would compel both
sides to arbitrate or be penalized in
some manner. The legislature did not
act, and the governor himself drew up
a bill. fashioned after the one which
has been in force in New Zealand for
seven years. and under which there
have been no strikes, and every dis
pute has been settled amicably.
The governor sent for the mine op
orators and submitted the bill to them
but they refused to indorse it. The
labor leaders among the miners also
refused to have anything to do with
the bill, and 1t was not introduced
The governors bill provided for three
arbitrators from the men and three
from the employers, these to select q
seventh arbitrator. Their finding yves
to be final and If the employer refused
to accept it then the court could enjoir
him from operating his mine or works
and the place would be closed If the
men refused to accept the finding ther
the sheriff was empowered to protect
the employer to the extent of calling
out the military IN aid of resumption
The same conditions governed the re
fusal of either the men or the employer
i to agree to arbitrate.
The situation in the coal regions Is
regarded as grave, but It is thought
in official circles that Gobin's order tC
the troops to resent assaults by shoot
ing the assailants will go far towart
preventing outbreaks hereafter. Th'
calling of an extra sessian, 1t IL
thought, would not entail as much ex
pense upon the state as the continu
ance of the troops in the coal field
but the state officials who discuss thu
matter say that it is not a question
I of expense or politics, but one of peace
and protection for society. If the gov
ernor can be assured that the legisla
ture will pass a compulsory arbitration
bill It is considered certain that he viii
call an extra session.

Registering Negroes
Special to the Evening journal

Special to the Evening Journal.
Dover Sept 1.-The Union Republi-
cans are complimenting each other
over the fact that the registration in all
the doubtful districts shows another
large increase in the colored voters.
Not so many have registered as were
on the lists this time two yeans ago,
when a President was at stake, but
those who have registered, according to
the blue books. are newcomers; while
all the old fellows are here or can be
obtaind in time to register and to vote.
1t is said that in the doubtful Fifth
representative district. the residence
district of Senator Alice and Former
Senator Kenney, twenty new negroes,
whose names were not on the ward
books of two years or four years ago,
are safely qualified as electors for the
November battle. The Democrats, il
is claimed, have a scheme TO attack
the validity Of these names and cleo
tors. but there is little question but
tnat the negroes are here, and have
been here the required time.

Ross May Be for Handy
Special to the Evening Journal.

Special to the Evening Journal.
Dover, Sept. Lit is whispered about
the State capital that the withdrawal of
Colonel James j. Ross, of Seaford
from the Democratic congressional race
has been brought about through the ef-
forts of the Gray-Biggs Democrats, the
leaders of whom are very close to Col
onel Ross. 1t is further claimed that
these leaders, therefore, must be be-
hind L. Irving Handy. because Mr.
Handy admitted only a few days age
that the congressional fight was vir-
tually between Colonel Ross and him
self He must have brought pressure
TO bear upon the Wilmington leaders
through which Colonel Ross has been
called off,"
The Colonel, conspicuously, does not
say in his letter of declination, that he
would not like to be congressman from
Delaware, but for many reasons, some
of which are personal, I cannot possi-
bly, be a candidate for the Office" II
the Gray-Biggs people are really be-
hind Handy. and not supporting Ross
or DR.. e. w. Cooper, of Camden, this
faction may, after all, have something
to fight for.

discussed. and Dr. Ball informed the
meeting that the law read that in case
Of death, removal or otherwise. the

unexpired term, but that the new Con-
stitution, which was adopted later, pro
vided that in case Of death. removal
or otherwise, the Governor appointed

today or tomorrow and talk on tn
matter.
Whether Mr.. Ewart could, under tn
party rules, be a candidate for re-elec
ton to the Levy Court also was dis
cussed, and Chairman Ball expressei
the opinion that it would be harsl
treatment to Mr.. Ewart not TO ALLOW
him to be a candidate, as he was 'ap
lpOinted by the Governor.
Richard G. Buckingham moved tina
the rule be waived in the case Of MI
Ewart, and this was about TO be passe
when Harry P. Joslyn suggested as a
amendment that it be decided that tn
rule did not apply to officeholders VIII
had been appointed by the Governor
