COMMUNITY OF INTEREST
IN LABOR, SAYS Mr.. WU
Chinese Minister Sends Reply to Reso-
luton Adopted by Minneapolis
Trades Council.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 9.-Wu Ting-fang's S
reply to the resolution passed by the
Trades and Labor Council some weeks ago
advising him not to accept the invitation
of Rawlins Post, G. A. R., to visit Min
neapolis this summer has been received
by Secretary Boreen. Minister WI writes
that he is not a labor agitator and does
not believe his presence could affect the
interests of organized labor. He writes:
II know that superabundant supply of
labor is a great evil, because it leads to
cut-throat competition. But an INSULT
cient supply of labor is no less an evil,
because it checks the process of produc-
tion and indirectly deprives the laboring
class of the comforts of life.
ut seems to me that there is a COM
munity OF interest in labor. The hand of
every man should not be against that of
every other, but should grasp that of every
other in friendly sympathy. There should
be no dog-in-them manger policy. The
world is big enough for ALL

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The popular BenniDg horse, DecanteT.
by Deceiver Maudlin, the property of F.
r. Hitchcock, and who mas been trained
by w. p. Burch. has been retired to the
stud. Decanter will hereafter spend his
days on the Beaumont Farm at Lexing-
ton, Ky. Decanter won more than twenty
races during his career on the turf, many
of them good ones. He ran second to
Voter when that horse made the worlds
record for mile. and was beaten only a
head. He would have won the race in an
other stride.
As a two year-old Decatur won only
few races, and when he reached three
years il was thought by Trainer Burch
that he was destined for a spFinter, but
the colt showed disposition to 20 on,
and after that won many races over
distance. Decanter WIS in good shape
last winter and Mr.. Burch expected him
to train on this year He struck himself
early in the spring, however, and never
recovered sufficiently to stand training
Benning patrons will miss Decanter.
1t turns out that Dom Paul, the good
gelding belonging to Jacob Worth has

on the track the day after the report of
his mishap and worked mile in ! 80.
His trainer claims that there is nothing
wrong with the three year old and that
he Is doing all that is asked OF him. Per
haps the story was started to get a price
on him in the future books.
NasturtiUm will be brought back to
America. There is no doubt now tha: the
horse Is Il roarer. From his attack of
influenza shortly after his arrival in Eng
land. Nasturtium slowly recovered. and
was thought by his trainer TO be all right
but when he was sent onto the track the
dreaded noise was heard. Mr. Whitney
has now decided TO bring back the son of
Watercress. Cap and Bells. the Anne rican
hlly, daughter Of Domino, who won the
English Oaks last year, has grown into a
lRe thoroughbred, and it is not improb-
able that she will develop into the best
horse of either sex in England.
MaLie Oliver. the actress, has bought
another horse with the winnings she col
lected when Roystcrer n few days
ago. She is now the owner of Lone Fish
erman, which she purchased from O'Con-
nor e. Co. Bettors may now look fer
startling improvement in the horse, as
Billy Oliver will train him.
