MARINE ENGINEERS.

The marine firemen of Norfolk have
met and decided upon a new scale of
wages, which, if not met by the boat
owners, is likely to tie up all OF the
harbOr craft. The scale is an advance
of from So to $40 a month over the old
and will be demanded not only by the
$50 white firemen Of the Norfolk branch
of the Atlantic Coast Marine Firemen' 5
Union, but by the 2S0 cOlored firemen,
who also are we'll organized in Norfolk.
The agreement between the white and
colored workers is the result of joint
meeting of delegates from both bodies.
The end ofthe marine engineers tie-up Is
near. Only two of the big lines, the
Old Dominion and New York, Phila-
delphia, and Norfolk Railway, are now
holding out, and these lines ale operat-
ing but a portion of their feet. The
New York, Philadelphia and Nor
folk Railway, a branch of the Penn
sylvania, has placed one of its five
tied-up tugs in commission, paying
the engineers the scale they de-
mand. The Old Dominion has not
as vet resumed the operation OF
any of its North Carolina lines, and
in consequence the shipment of much
freight north is delayed. The steamer
Dennis Simmons on the North Carolina
Sound route yesterday went out With asso-
citation engineers, and several tugs recent,
ly tied up have gone to sea with their old
engineers. Mr.. NJ. X. King, chairman
of the association organized by the own
ers and agents previous to the walk-out,
says there is no change in the situation.
The Farmers Manufacturing Company,
which manufactures all kinds Of crates
for farm products, announced yesterday
that nnless the engineers strike ended
soon. they would shut down their plant
and lay off 800 employees. This company
gets its logs from North Carolina, and
the tieup in tugs and steamers on the
Carolina routes has shut off the supply
There has been but one engineer import
ted up to this time for work in Norfolk

NEWSPAPER BLAMED.

There is virtual unanimity of opinion
in the St. Petersburg press, barring the
anti-Semitic papers, that the author OF
the strained relations and of the ritual
murder calumnies was the newspaper
Bessarabetz. A petition Of the Jewish
community of Kishenef to Director Of
the Department of Police LopOukhim,
in pointing this out, says: "In Bess-
arabia generally, and in KiShenef
particularly, there were no strained re-
lations between Jews and Christians
until very recent date. This is ex-
planned by the peaceful and orderly
character of the local population, and
the comparative prosperity of the prov
ince. During twenty years or more
there had been no conflict whatever be-
tween the two elements of the popula-
ton. and when Jews were being pillaged
all throughout south and southwest
Russia, the ordinary peaceful life OF
Bessarabia remained undisturbed.'
The Jewish society named the Bess-
arabetz as the direct instigator Of the
trouble. 'This newspaper was estab-
lshed five years ago." the report stated.
"Until its appearance there was no
local organ of the press. 1t there
fore found virgin soil and from
the beginning had tremendous
influence. In its second year the Bess-
arabetz began regular and systematic
batting of the Jewish population. In
fact, Jew batting became its recognized
specially"
This has long been known to every
reader of the Russian newspapers, scarce
ly month passing without the citation
of some anti-Semite utterance Of this
newspaper by other papers. ave could
quote articles" the report continued,
(Which amounted to a simple call for
the extirpation Of the Jews en- masse. "
The Jewish community went on to say
that the local censorship, administered
by the vice governor, evidently approved
the course of the Bessarabetz, and di-
rected attention to the persistent refusal
of the st. Petersburg press adninlstra-
ton to permit the establishment of any
other newspaper at Kishenef. The Bess-
arabetz continued preaching Death to
Jews !" or "All Jews should be killed
OFF, until the massacre, its attacks cul-
minating in the accusation of ritual muir
der. The Jewish community established
these facts and then related that leaflets
were handed about the streets and post
ed in the cheap restaurants and tea
houses, stating that "the Gar has de-
cided to kill the Jews during the fist
three days of Easter"

A SERIOUS CONDITION.

1t is the opinion of conservative
bankers that the situation in the finan-
cial district of New York is gradually
becoming serious. They admit that
there is foundation for the many rumors
concerEing prominent men and leading
financial houses which have been in cir
culation for week. The tremendous
decline in stock values during the last
four months, according to the best au-
thorities, has by no means been the re-
suit Of bearish manipulation. There
has been an enormous amount ofgenuine
liquidation, which has greatly reduced
the fortunes of many men who two years
ago could write their checks for millions.
A leading New York bank president
said last night that there was no doubt of
the fact but that the fortunes of many
multimillionaires had actually been cut
in half during the last year. The names
of several men who have been very
prominent in financial affairs recently
are mentioned in nearly every broker
office in Wall street in connection with
the heavy liquidation and with the col
lapse of a number of industrial concerns.
One man whose name is seen in the
newspapers nearly every day is COM
mitted to underwriting syndicates for
over 500, 900, 900, and has been com
PEELED to liquidate thousands of shares
of stocks in order to straighten himself
The head of very prominent firm which
has been associated with several indus
trial combinations is commonly reported
to be very seriously embarrassed A
brokerage firm which has done a large
Canadian wire business is mentioned in
the rumors of the day as having become
seriously involved because of the col
lapse of the speculative boom in Canada.
The actual assets of the persons and
firms whose names are heard most
in connection with the finan-
cial troubles are much greater than their
but it will take several days
to determine whether they will be a bic
to pass the crisis safely.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN HER HISTORY.

ANOTHER CHATTER IN HER nlSIOhl 1 .
Another chapter was add,d yesterday

affidavit says: "At this time | saw him
and begged him to return to me, and he
stated that he loved Laura Biggar and
he was going to get good share of her
money. He also said that she was going to
pay him well and that ifI would keep quiet
he would keep the children and me com
for..able. but that she was going to take
him to one of the western states. lie
furthur told me that the two were going to
leave the state forever, as soon as Laura
Biggar gother money out of the estate. "
Mrs. Hendrick understands that Laura
Biggar settled her claim against the Ben
nett estate for $500, 600. Her husband,
she says, is living in New York Dr.
Hendrick, ex-Justice of the Peace Sam
uel C. Stanton and Laura Biggar were
all tried in New Jersey last December

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

asha Have Sales Days

I. 81. Dwyer suggests that Chick
asha Have Sales Days
T. H. Dwyer in conversation
with the EXPRESS man this morn
ing made suggestion which, if
carried out, would certainly prove
Of great value to Chickasha- He
proposed that the merchants Of the
city inaugurate a series of monthly
sales days. The object particularly
is to attract the country trade. The
sales day would be thoroughly adj
vertised, each merchant offer for
sale at reduced prices such goods as
he can afford to thus dispose Of. At
the same time country people would
be invited to bring to town whatev-
er they wish to sell. There would
be a general market for all kinds Of
farm products The special in
ducements osered in the way Of
bargains would draw hundreds OF
country people to town, make busi-
ness for the merchants and enable
them to dispose Of their surplus
stock
Mr.. Dwyer states that the plan
has been most successfully tried III
Brenham, Texas where he formerly
lived. The town IS situated in the
midst Of the region where the boil
weavil has played haYoc with the
cotton crop, end yet by the use Of
this plan, its merchants have done
an enormus business.
The plan is well worth the con
sideration Of the commercial club

THE NEW YORK IDEA.

The next national platform Of
the party must be declaration for
action. The Democratic party has
been called the party Of opposition.
The time has come when it must be
positive. The platform must stand
for the souudest and best currency.
1t must declare in terms that can
not be misunderstood for an imme-
date revision and reduction Of the
tariff. Supporting the broadest and
best spirit Of Anericanism, it must
at the same time pledge the party
and the country to unalterable OPP
position to foreign conquest and to
taxation without representation.
The platform must in the strongest
terms condemn every form Of So
cialism and anarchy, and in this
positive declaration for law and or
der all elements Of society must
stand equal before the law. Mo
.nopolies that have flourished under
Republican favoritism until they
hold themselves above the law,
must be forced to realize that they
are the creatures, not the creatores,
Of the Government. The platform
Of the Democratic party must de.
mand the immediate enactment ol
Federal laws for the thorough in
spection and regulation by the
Government Of every form Of mon
opoly This can be done by pub
licity, enforced, if necessary, with
out injury 10 any legally vested
right. Bird S. Coler in the Inde-

ing lights of our four hundred. has
begun proceedings for a divorce from
her husband, through her attorneys.
Referendum p GraftOrum.

that Mrs. Antony is a little groggy

where his name has been linked with
that of Mrs. Cleopatra, a prominent
club woman. and at present the man
aging editor of Egypt. But even the
old friends of the family, who have
shown the utmost caution in getting
all the details. never dreamed that
she would thus openly repudiate
Mare Antony. who with his faults.
is good provider. an eloquent ora
tor, and strong with the administra-
ton.
The allegations made by Mrs. An
tony in her complaint are of such a
nature that the Republican, which is
not in any sense yellow journal,
would scorn to print them but if any
anxious readers will call on We edi-
tor in our sanctum. We will gladly

lack the power to cut out many use

He required 1900 words to place
before congress a review of the coun-
try's condition. together with his re-
commentator for needful legislation
when the same could be reduced to
10000 words, or less, without serl-
GUS impairment. But. nOtwithstand-
ing this fact the message is an able
document. Every department of the
government is treated in manner
that shows much study and close at
tention to detail.
The message is evidently written
with next years political contest in
view. for all Of the recommendations
are general in character, especially
where matters relating to capital and
labor or other conflicting interests
are discussed, and while some may
be disposed to criticise the president
On this score, it is the only honest
course to pursue. for the president
represents all factions and between
them he must stand impartially
The capitalists may charge him with
favoring the laboring element and
the labor leaders may allege that he
protects the trusts, but when all is
said the fact remains that the presi-
dent has been fair with both sides.
The most important subject treat
ed in the message is the Panama ca
nal situation and the president makes
a lengthy presentation of the facts
in an effort to justify the doctrine of
secession as it applies to the re-
lations existing between Panama
and Colombia. His success in this
effort depends entirely upon the
point of view of the reader.
All in all the message is an able
one, but very few will care to wade
through the 1900 words used in it's
construction.
