Literary Bulletin.

Literary Bulletin.
1t is interesting to recall, I'm connection
with the present coal strike. that the shoe
makers were the first strikers i'm this coun-
try of whom there is any record Three
hundred of them struck for higher wages
in 1886 in Philadelphia. and their demands
were acceded TO. The first railroad strike.
according to Harper's Encyclopaedia OF
United States History, occurred in 1877. But
In 1894 came the strike which Is perhaps tho
most notable in the history OF this country
1t began with the strike of three thousand
employees OF the Pullman car company for
higher wages. These men were connected
with various railroads centering at Chicago,
and 10000 men were affected The rail
roads lost 100000 In property during this
trouble. and in earnings s5.0C0000 The strik-
ers lost $2.00@.0o0 in wages, and after this
immense sacrifice on al. sides the strike
was a failure.

The Pittsburg Dispatch, which is not sup
porting the Pennsylvania Republican ticket,
sharply criticises the speech of ex-Secre-
tary Olney, saying:
If not mischievous the speech was at least
unwse and ill-considered. This Is no time
for demagogy, whether from ex-secre-
tary of state from less eminent stump
speakers. 1t is the more surprising that
man of the ex-secretarys position and
reputation should have so greatly erred in
what appears upon the surface TO be moth
ing more nor less than very weak attempt
to make partiEan capital out of a situation
with which party politics has had nothing
do.

today laid before a high German official.
whose functions give him absolue first
hand knowledge OF everything just as It
occurred He reaffrmed the statement
made in these dispatches yesterday. Re-
ferring to his copious notes. he dictated
therefrom to the correspondent OF The As
ISOLATED Press this data:
On February II, the Spanish ambassador

note was handed to President Mckinley.
We were informed from washington.
on April IA, that the British ambassador

would be unJustihable. Again, upon the
emperOrS s order, the German represent
auves at Washington, Rome, Vienna and
Madrid were instructed that Germany
would refuse to participate In such a
declaration, as she saw no prospect that
anything would be accomplished thereby
The correspondent of The Associated
Press gets the impression that while the
German government wishes TO avoid the

United States arms, on the other hand, she
regards 1t as important to controvert the
wrong Impressions that Germany was dis
posed to do anything unfriendly to the
ITnftad States
