in this particular case. Mark Twain,
as probably yon know, was partner IN
a publishing house that failed for
large sum nine years ago. 1t not only
swallowed up all of the money he had
earned by his books, but he also found
himself with unpaid notes to the
amount of several hundred thousand
dollars. Mark Twain was IS years old
at the time, an age when a man natur-
ally begins to think of lying back on
his oars and taking life easier. Many a
man would have let this reverse end
his usefulness. Not so, Mark Twain.
"Neyer mind" he said, "I1I have to
go to work again and make some more
money" He started around the world
on a lecturing tour shortly after this
and out of the proceeds of the lecture
and the book he wrote telling Of his
experiences, he paid off the notes dol
lar for dollar. Then he kept on work
ing, in order to have something laid
by for his old age. AS he paid pretty
nearly $4,000 for this new home, it
looks as if he had accomplished his
purpose. All this would sound almost
like the tragedy a similar state of af-
fairs made out of Sir Walter SCOTS
life, were it not for the fact that Mark
Twain has accustomed the people to
expect him to look on the humorous
side Of things, and so they can hardly
take him seriously. Sir Walter Scott
cleared himself of dpbt-and died For
tunately it is that Mark Twain has
accomplished similar task, and still
lives to make the world laugh.

STRIKE AND BOYCOTT
EFFORT TO INJURE LAFAYETTE,S
STREET-RAILWAY BUSINESS.
Nine UniOnists Ordered to Quit Work,

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 17.-Early this
morning. after an exciting session of Cen
trail Labor Union, a strike and boycott
were declared against the Lafayette
Street-railway Company beginning to-
day. Only nine of the forty-five motormen
and conductors were members of the union
and hence the strike itself is of little con-
sequence to the company. The boycott.
however, is thought TO be serious, as it
will be far-reaching and will go beyond
the members of the union
The street-car trouble here began sew
eral weeks ago. when employees organized
and obtained a charter from the Amalga-
nation of Street-railway Employees against
the wishes Of the company Since that
time eleven of the twenty men who signed
the charter have been discharged, the COM
pany, however, averring that there was
sufficient ground for each discharge and
that they were not Disseminated against
for joining the union. The union men
deny this. Vice President Jacobs, of the
National Amalgamation, who has been here
a week. trying to bring about an adjust
ment of the difficulty. was unable to solve
the problem, and at the meeting last night
it was his suggestion that the strike and
boycott be declared. The street-railWay
company was not represented at the meet
ing, which began at s o'clock and lasted
until o'clock this morning.
AS a result of the action taken all men
Identified with any union are obliged to
refrain from riding on street cars and the
union men under orders to watch cars.
Private citizens, business men and public
officials who are seen riding thereon will
be declared unfair and if they refuse to
refrain from doing so will themselves feel
the effect of the boycott. The street-rall-
Jacobs and the members of the union with
whom they have conferred have repudiated
promises and that the strike and boycott
will not interfere with them to any great
extent.
Street cars were running all day with
few passengers. Hundreds rode out to the
ball park in carriages driven by union
workmen, and thousands of placards bear
ing the inscription L Will Walk" are
seen in hat hands and coat lanels

"SWEATING" A SUSPECT"
EDWARD COUNSELMAN CROSS-EX-
AHMED BY CHICAGO POLICE.
He Repeatedly Visited the BarthoIin
House and Received a Letter from
Him on July IL.

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Edward Counsel
man, who was arrested yesterday in con-
nection with the Bartholin- Mitchell mur-
der mystery, was subjected to rigid ex-
animation to-day by Inspector Hunt, but
told nothing that would throw any light on
the case. Counseman contTadicted himself
several times, but he made no incrimi-
mating admissions. After an hours ques-
tioning COunselman finally blurted out:
IF | knew where William Bartholin was
L would not tell you" Counselman evaded
an explanation of why he abused his wife
when she refused to return to him the let
ter that he had received from Bartholin,
July r. sunmoning him to Bartholin S
home, five days after the murder of Mrs
BarthOlin. Inspector Hunt still believes
that Counselman has some knowledge of
the mystery, and will subject the prisoner
to another examinatio tomorrow.
The most significant circumstances de-
veloped in the sharp cross-questioning of
Counselman was the fact that he had re-
peatedly visited BarthOin at his home
twice without the knowledge of the young
mans S mother. who had ordered him to stay
away from the house
The other two suspects. Thompson and
Claffy, who Were removed to the county
Jail yesterday, were in good spirits to-day

Same as the One Negotiated by
Great Britain.
NEW RATES OPERATIVE NOV. /
ALL WILL BE VOID IF CHINA
CHANGES THE DOCUMENT.
Situation Complicated by the De-
mands of Portugal for CCnces-
sion of Two Islands.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE State De-
partment has received a dispatch from T.
s. Sharretts. the treasury expert who was
commissioned by the State Department
to negotiate a tariff treaty between the
United States and China, stating that the
treaty was signed on the 18th inst, and
that he would sail for the United States
on the first steamer.
The announcement contained in Mr. Shar-
rett's brief dispatch to the State Depart
ment brings to successful conclusion ne
gotiations which have been in progress for
many months for tariff treaty between
China and this country. 1t was stipulated
as one of the features of the peace agree
ment between China and the foreign pow
ers at the close of the Boxer outbreak
that an entirely fabric to trade treat
les should be made. This carried out the
purpose Secretary Hay had maintained
throughout the preceding negotiations for
an open door," the desire being to open
up foreign communications with the inte-
rior of China and thus gain access to the
vast markets of the empire.
Following the conclusion of the peace
arrangements Mr.. Sharretts was selected to
carry on the tariff negotiations in behalf Of
the United States. This selection was due
to his long familiarity with tariff affairs
he had assisted in the framing of recent
tariff legislation before Congress and had
also served as one of the general apprais-
ers Of New York. He went to China about
a year ago and has since been engaged
in working out the details of tariff agree
ment.
1t was announced about a month ago that
the British commissioners had concluded
tariff treaty with China and il was un-
derstOOd at that time that the British treaty
would serve as a basis for similar treaties
with the United States and other foreign
countries. The State Department was ad-
V1sed at the time that the rates on inn
ports entering China were 1212 per cent and
the export duties ~ per cent One of the
most important provisions of the British
China treaty was that abOlshing the Hkin
tax. 1t is presumed that similar rates are
made in the American treaty and that the
likin tax Is abolished as far as il relates 10
American goods in transit The likin tax
has been one of the most burdensome ex-
actions of the antiquated Chinese system
as it was levied by the officials at various
points through the interior without uni
fOrmity and often with less regard for com
mercial ends than for the enrichment of
the unscrupulous local officials The aboli-
tiOn of the lixin tax will go far toward
encouraging foreign trade and traffic in the
interior of China.
Mr. Sharrettss dispatch is dated at
Shanghai and does not go into details re-
garding the treaty he has signed

Protocol Was Signed by the American
and Other Foreign Representatives.

LONDON. Aug 1S.-In a dispatch from
Shanghai the correspondent of the Times
says the protocol of the tariff treaty was
signed yesterday Saturday by the British
American. German and japanese represent
atives without reservation, and by the
Austrian, Belgian and Dutch representa-
tives ad referendum. This action, con-
tinues the Times correspondent, was prin-
cipaIly due TO the American commissioner
CT S. Sharretts) desiring to conclude the
business before returning to the United
States.
The Chinese commissioners, lacking i'm
perial sanction, did not sign the protocol ::
therefore, if China modiies it, the sigma
lures affixed yesterday will be void. The
document provides that the new tariff be-
come operative Nov. l.
Portugal, adds the correspondent, COM
plicates the situation by claiming a con-
cession of two small islands near Macao
and the right 10 build a railroad from Ma
Gao to Canton as a Quid pro quo for her
acceptance of the new tariff This incident
says the representatives of the Times in
conclusion, illustrates the difficulty under
lying this whole question.

LEO Is IN GOOD HEALTH
FELT so WELL YESTERDAY HE DIS
REGARDED DOCTORS ORDERS.
Gave Audience to 300 Persons at the
"Name Day" Reception, and
Talked for an Hour.

ROME, Aug. 1.-THE Pope is in such good
health that it is thought not necessary to
suspend the Saturday audiences, as has
hitherto been the custom, in order to give
the Pontiff strength for a fatiguing cere-
mony, such as the great Name day. re-
ceptiOn of to-day. DR.. Lapponi, the Popes
physician, insisted, however. upon limiting
the number of guests TO 200 instead of the
usual 500. The efforts to obtain invitations
to the Name day reception were so per-
sistent and came from such high quarters
that the Pontif, hearing of them, overruled
his physicians advice and had an addi-
tional hundred guests included.
The Pope held the reception in his private
library. He showed no signs of fatigue
and spoke with almost every one present.
He appeared to be unusually animated and
recognized the Rt. Rev. Benjamin Kelley
bishop of Savannah. Ga, who was the only
American present. Immediately he per-
ceived him the Pope said to Bishop Kelley.
Il am glad to you again before you
leave" Bishop Kelley said afterwards that
he astonished at the Pontiff's vitality
and brightness of mind.
Upon re-entering his private apartments
the Pope said: 1T does not matter what
DR.. Lapponi says, feel better after each
occasion of this kind"
The reception lasted for one hour. His
Holiness talked about the collapse of the
Campanile of St. Marks, at Venice and
expressed a wish TO see the restoration of
the roof of Lateran Palace before he died
The innumerable letters and kilograms of
felicitatiOn received by the Pontif included
communications from Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria and King Alfonso of
Spain. The communication from the King
of Spain was the first missive sent to his
godfather by King Alfonso since his coro-
nation.
Among the kilograms of congratulation
received by the Pontiff was one of ~ 600
words from the Catholics of Catania Sicily
The receipt of this long message caused
amusement, as under the settlement with
the Italian government all kilograms for
the Vatican are accepted and delivered
free.
In the course of a conversation the pope
urged the building of a chapel TO be dedi-

Speeches to Trainmen.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, Aug. 17-Grand
Master Fitzpatrick. of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen, has about completed
his tour of the anthracite strike region.
He addressed local brotherhoods in many
places, and it is said pointed out to the
members their duty in case any of the
coal-carrying railroads should attempt TO
ship coal from mines where nonunion men
were employed. Just what instructions
were given was not made public James
Nelligan. an executive officer of the Broth
conference with the officials at miners
strike headquarters to-day. He said his
visit to headquarters had nothing TO do
with the miners strike.
1t is said attempt will be made to
start the Maltby cOlliery OF the Lehigh VAL
ley Coal Company tomorrow. About
twenty electric lights have been strung
within the inclosure and fully fifty coal
and iron policemen were taken TO the mines

SCATTERED ALONG THE TRACK.
Remains of Man who Is Supposed
to Have Been Murdered.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. Aug. 17.-What the po-
lice believe to be a murder was discovered
to-day when a man with bloody handker-
chief tagged a Milwaukee train near the
fish hatchery and informed the trainmen
that a man had been killed there. The man
who stopped the train disappeared at once
and no trace of him has been found. The
train crew made an investigation and found
the remains of a man scattered along the
track for more than a mile. The clothing
found was such as is worn by men i'm pros
porous circumstances but neither money
nor jewelry found There was nothing
bv which the dead man could be identified
People in the vicinity where the remains
were found state that they heard men en-
gagged in a row during last night and the
theory of the police is that the unknown
man was murdered and robbed and his
remains placed upon the track where they
would be mangled by passing trains.

QUEENS MANUSCRIPT FOUND.
Essay Written by Carmen sylvia Is
Recovered by Fishermen.

PARIS, Aug. ia lost manuscript of
Carmen Sylvia. the lettered Queen of Rou-
mania, has at last been found 1t is work
of philosophical thoughts about woman's
destiny and was written by the Queen when
she was living at Venice in exile because of
the stand she took in favoring her sons
marriage with her maid of honor, the ac-
complished and beautiful Helen Vacaresco.
The manuscript has been found by some
fishermen. hidden away in the corner Of a
derelict boat near Venice.
Carmen sylvia was probably caught in a
storm and put away the precious roll for
safe-keeping. The poor fishermen knew
nothing of the value of the parcel they had
found, but the golden cords which bound
the manuscript containing the thoughts
about woman's destiny during her Maj
esty's lifetime led them TO make inquiries
Hitherto people have known OF its existence
