all parties to me controversy that
when the arbitntors again meet an
agreement on al points in dispute
will be ready far submission to and
approval by the commissioners. Those
who are concluding the negotiations
on both sides express the opinion that
an amicable adjustment will be reach
ed. and predict that the commissions
ers will make nly one more trip to
this city.
Before adjourning today a sub. or
''conciliatory." committee was appoint
ed In order that the wishes of the
commission may be officially made
known with rega'd to any matter that
may arise in tn, interval. The com.
missioners want 1t understood that
they have the list say In the adjust.
ment of the differences. And that
whatever is agreed upon must have
their full approval before the agree
ment can be PIT in operation. The
subcommittee. which is made up of
Commissioners Watkins, Parker and
Clark. this afternoon called into con.
ference as many of the attorneys rep.
resenting all parties before the COM
mission as could be gathered on short
notice, and stated to them the attl.
tude of the commission.
The individual operators. between
80 and 40 of whom are represented
before the commission, are disposed
to object to the way matters have
been progressing. Mr.. Burns, one of
their attorneys, brought the matter
before the commission today and said
the individual operators wanted to
be consulted IN whatever agreements.
regarding the proceedings before the
commission, may be made. In all
that has so far taken place. he said
that the operators had not been con-
suited. although they had no objec-
tion to a ten days adjournment.
Chairman Gray. for the commission,
had long colloquy with Mr.. Burns,
in which Judge Gray gave the inde.
pendent operators to understand that
the commissioners will not abrogate
their duty. and that whatever agree
ments tending toward a settlement
Of the questions at issue have been
effected, were made by the parties to
the agreements and that the commits
sion had taken no part In them. As
result of the discussion the indi-
vidual operators submitted paper
containing a statement of their posi-
ton. The independent operators say
they would rather have the whole
matter threshed out before the com.
mission than to have a private settle.

said:
There is no more than a question
of wages and hours involved in this
fight. We are right, and we want to

American people we are right. We

responsible for 'he r.ign OF terror that
has been in existence in this region
during the last six months"

ity, positively will not breed in cap
tivity, hence the parks can hope for
no increase among their pretty cap
tives. At the present rate of destruc-
ton, do not believe the wild ante
lope will survive another decade. AS
the tame ones will not multiply, II
seems TO me that the inevitable result
will be the annihilation of the ante
lope even before the buffalo have dis.
appeared. OF course. there are many
more antelope than buffaloes now in
existence, but the buffalo does breed
in captivity and may survive the re-
straint of pastures and corrals forty
or fifty years. Then he too, will be
but a memory. except where the mu-
seums have preserved his imposing
bulk for future ages. But long before
the buffalo is extinct, the antelope will
be gone"

WORST SORT OF vANDAlS.
Some Person Has Been Stealing Ap.
paratus From the Fire Department.

Stealing at any time, of anything
and under any circumstances is de.
Plorable, but the vandal who has been
carrying away some of the most nee.
essary apparatus of the Lewisistown
fire department, has certainly reach
ed the lowest depths of shameless
dishonesty. Some people seem tD
think that because an article happens
to belong to the public, It may be ap-
propriated to private use without sub.
jecting the guilty one who takes II
to the liability of being called thief
And some times these self-assuring
individuals wake up and discover
where they were badly mistaken.
But a short while since, the local
fire department had among its other
effects, three aYes and six lanterns
all In good shape. When 1t was neses-
sary to make run the other evening
ii was found that all the axes were
gone and of the lanterns there re.
mained but two. both OF which were
broken. Both anicles are of the great.
est Importance to the department and
their absence, in case of a serious
fire. might mean the loss of much
property. Someone Is also evidently
using the fire hell for barn. as the
hay and rubb sh scattered around
would indicate. The light globes were
broken and there were other evidences
of someone who lad no business rhere
having been provling around. If the
local department were so plentifully
supplied with al of those little nee
essaries as are s)me departments, the
occasional filchiIg Of an axe or Ian
tern would not hs such capital crime.
but, to steal from the limited stores
possessed by the fire laddies Of this
place is indeed ike robbing ths poor
man of his last loaf.

GERMAN COURT OFFICER
 REMOVED FOR MARRYING
Wife Was Daughter of Sergeant and Incident Causes Sensa ton in Official Circles-Pamphlet is Written CriCsng
 Administration in Province of Posen-Papers Comment

Berlin, July 29.-The marriage of Privy Councillor Louhening to the daughter of former sergeant in the German army has caused Herr Louhening's compul- sorry retieement from the chef director ship of taxes for the province of Posen.
 Herr Louhening, who was also finance councillor, and was a man of wealth, has been circulating a pamphlet among his friends explaining his acceptance of a pension July at the instance of Herr yon Rheinbaban, the Prussian minister of finance. The publication of this pamph- let in today's paper has caused consider able comment, both socially and political- ly, because Herr Louhening. as a high of- ficiaL had first hand knowledge of the Prussian administration of Posen, and disapproves of several features of the ministry's Polish policy. In this pamphlet Herr Louhening relates that after an in- terchange of communications between Berlin and the highest administrative of ficials of the province of Posen. the pres- ident of Posen told him he had nothing to say against his fiance, bur that it was impossible for him to consent to the marriage of one of the highest officials of the province with daughter of an ex- sergeant; that 1t was as though the col onel of a regiment proposed to do such a thing.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-07-30

A ministerial councillor, or a superior government councillor. might possibly marry a sergeant's daughter but a privy and finance councillor general could not The police president shared his views on the matter.
 The father of Herr Louhening's wife is now a secretary in one of the government offices at Posen. Some weeks after his marriage the finance ministry at Berlin asked Herr Louhening to retire, which he did
 Herr Louhenlng affirms that his opin- ions in the matter of the ministry's Polish policy had nothing to do with his retire ment from office, but notwithstanding this it is believed the opinions probably did have something to do with the coun- cillors retirement.
 Herr Louhening affairms also. in his pamphlet, that most of the high Prussian officials of the province of Posen con- demn the governments general policy to- ward the Poles, the prosecution of Pol ish newspapers, and the surveillance of Polish societies. Herr Louhening, al- though favoring measures to Germanize Poland. is of the opinion that this should be carried out less ostentatiously.
 The pamphlet is the subject of a no- ticeable editorial article in the Liberal newspapers. The Vossisehe Zeitung says it is impossible to write about the mat ter eooly, and that 1t reads like the times preceding the battle of Jena, when Prus- sian aristocracy reached the acme of class insolence.

SCHOOL RIOTING
 HAS BEEN QUELLED
FRENCH ENTHUSIASTS BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND LAW AND CEASE AGITATIoN-WoMEN ATTACK A TEACHER.

Paris, July 29.-The agitation in connec- ton with the circular issued by President Combes, with regard to the closing of the unauthorized congregationalist schools has considerably abated, even in Brit tanny, owing to the circumstances that none of the recalctrant schools will be forcibly close~ until special decrees to this end have been signed for each de- rartment. In many departments such ac- tion will not be necessary, as the con- gregations have submitted. and more over, the decision of the government not to close those schools for which author ization was not asked, owing to mis- interpretation of the law has had some thing of a quietirg effect.
 The leaders of the agitation talk of or- ganizing popular protests; but the life seems to be out of the movement so far as Parts is concerned. Here the socialists have determined upon counter demonstra- tions to every clerical meeting. ss)me disturbances in the provinces, especial ly in Finistere, are probable when the police close the schools, but there is evi- iently lull in the excitement for the moment.
 The only incident reported today was that a group of women at Rodes, in the department of Aveyi on, attacked lay teacher and compelled him to take refuge in the communal school The teacher was followed by a crowd shouting.
 Down with Combes." The arrival of gendarmes prevented further mischief.
