Meanwhile, Senator Aldrich has issued
a statement from his home in Providence
in which he says that he has reason to
believe that material progress is being
made in the harmonizing of the views of
Senate and House on the subject of cur
rency legislation and the Senator even
goes go far as to say that when Congress
convenes, Speaker to-be Cannon will be
found as enthusiastic in support of the
measure which the Senate Finance COM
mittee will bring in, as Mr.. Aldrich him.
self. II such result is attained it will
prove another monument to the great
harmonizing powers of Senator Allison
who has gone west on mission of peace
and education. Senator Quay, who
passed through Washington on his way
to Florida last week, gave out brief and
characteristic interview on the subject of
financial legislation which foreshadows
an intention on the part of the Senator |
from Pennsylvania to make trouble when
the financial measure comes up on the |
floor of the Senate. The Senator SAYS
that he sees no occasion for financial leg
islation, that there is money enough for
everyone but the Wall Street brokers and
he sees no reason why Congress should
legislate to please them. Mr.. Quay also
says that he appreciates that Wall Street
can occasionally corner the money OF the
country, but he does not believe that any
reasonable increase of the volume of the
circulation will foil the avaricious mis-
of Wall Street. There is
some doubt, however, among those who
are acquainted with the willy Pennsyl-
vanian, as to whether he was altogether
sincere in this interview and it is sug-
gested as not unlikely that Mr.. Quay
was merely seeking to bring Senator
Aldrich to terms on a Statehood bill
which, it is said, is to be resuscitated
At the coming session of Congress. If
Senator Aldrich will give Mr.. Quay
his way with the Statehood bill, Mr..
Quay's opposition to financial legis-
alton will silently fade away, say the
political wiseacres.

SAFE CRACKED

Burglars sometime during Sunday
night cracked safe in the Office of the
Atlantic Refining Company in South
Wilmington, and although they got only
$50 in cash, they made some annoyance
to officials Of the firm by maliciously tear
ing up papers, bills and other documents
that were not classed as valuable booty.
The robbery was not discovered until
early Monday morning, and then it could
not be reported Immediately to the police,
for the cracksmen severed telephone

Dawn OF PEACE
SAYS GRAY
Declares That Organized Labor
Is a Conserving Power
for Good

Judge George Gray of the United
States Cpurt Monday gave his views OF
the labor question. He spoke frankly OIL
this weighty subject and declared that
sometime in the future the people them
selves would find solution of the ques
tion involved in the struggle between
capital and labor.
81 believe that we will find solution
of the question involved in this struggle
between capital and labor" he said.
"We will solve it in our own way, along
lines of humanity and common sense.
But it will take a long time. Habit
changes slowly when the change is real
and permanent. We have got to have
some system of arbitration to avoid the
settlement of questions by force in civil
ized States. | am confident that there
is bottom fact in human nature in
which We can find an alternative of
violence and the strong hand.
Question Of Amiable Settlement
II do not say that this alternative will
be applicable to all questions, but when
We come to large issues which must be
settled-wlich must be settled, l say
and the question is the displacement of
union men on the one side or the dis
placement of non-union men on the other
side, settlement by force leaves bitter
ness and unrest. II new labor is used
to displace the old labor, and settle
ment is effected only by the use of the
police, the question is whether we have
not purchased peace at too great price;
and l think that employers are coming
and will come to see that they will have
more advantage in peaceful settlement
with the old and accustomed labor than
by rudely settling dispute by bringing
in new labor at lower wages or altered
conditions.
Refer Troubles to Outside
ut seems to me that the problem will
work out in the recognition by employ
ers and employees that when they come
to disagreement involving the extrem-
ity of suspension of work, they can
be better satisfied by referring it to men
that is, to impartial citizens, who will |
reflect the common sense of the COM
munity. saw that point very clearly
illustrated few days ago when I was
helping to settle the coal strike in Ala
oama. Men who had refused to yield |
directly to the other side in the dispute
would say: All right, Judge; if you say
%, I'll stand by it. If you say go, it's
Ill right And they said it cheerfully.
Il found considerable feeling of that
lind in the South. The men did not
lold each other off at arms length. It
nay be that the negro question has
'rought about greater feeling of De-
nocracy among white men than one
nds elsewhere, but, whatever the cause,
hat feeling was an important factor in !
he settlement of the Alabama coal ,
5rike."

WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, August 3Oth, 1903.

WASHINGTON, August 30th, 1903.
THE anxiety concerning the welfare OF
Americans in Turkey during the lat
ter part OF last week has been materially
abated by the decidedly belated news
that Vice Consul Megeissen, at Beirut,
Syria, was not murdered, as at first re-
ported, but was merely fred at, the shots
failing to take effect, and that the mis-
creants have been apprehended and the
officials have rendered full apologies to
the United States Minister Leischman at
Constantinople. Before the correct ver-
sion of the affair was received, the Presi-
dent ordered the European squadron to
Turkish waters and the feet, under the
command of Admiral Cotton, is now en-
route for Genoa and thence will sail for
Turkish waters. When informed of the
error in the first report, the President
announced that he would not rescind
his order to the feet as the situation in
Turkey appeared to be go acute that he
regarded the presence of American war
ships in Turkish waters as essential to
the safety of American citizens in the
Empire.

Secretary Shaw has greatly relieved the
apprehensions entertained by leading
financiers, by devising method where
by he will be able to deposit in the
national banks a fund of not less than
$40, 100000 ifthe movement of the crops
this fall is attended by money strin-
gency. According to the Secretary's ex.
PLANTATION, he began last fall to gather
the internal revenue receipts into fund
to meet just such an emergency. These
receipts have been segregated SO that
there has been no intermixture of Gus
toms receipts and he Secretary believes,
therefore, that he has all NJ cessary au-
thority to use the internal receipts to re-
lieve the banks If the occasion arises.
1t is, moreover, the intention of the Sec
retary to accept state and municipal
bonds as collateral for the deposits of the
internal revenue funds, as was done last
year when the stringency in Wall Street
became acute. 1t was not the intention
of Secretary Shaw, however, that this |
source OF relief should become known at |
this time, as he feared that his ability to |
relieve the situation might be discounted,
but the facts leaked out and now the /
Secretary will explain his plans in an
address he will deliver in Chicago this
week.

As soon as the news from Beirnt was
received, Secretary Hay hastened to
Oyster Bay to confer with the President
and after the conference, which also
dealt with the situation in Colombia and
the prospects of the Panama canal
treaty, Mr.. Hay determined to come at
once to Washington, thus curtailing his
vacation by several weeks. Reports
from Bogota seem to indicate that the
chief obstacle in the way Of the treaty is
the pride of the Colombians and it is by
no means certain that, after delay suffi-
cient to satisfy the spirit of the legisla-
tors, the convention will not be ratified.
This, at least, is the hope OF the admins.
tration. Meanwhile, DR.. Herran, the
Colombian charge d'afiairs, has been in
structed to subscribe to press clipping
bureau and to forward to the Colombian
Library extracts from all
American newspapers apropos of the

Colombians see how many newspapers
urged the immediate abandonment of
The Panama Route in favor of the Nicara-
yuan-Costa Rican route, that too will
have salutary effect.
