hit. The London Sporting Life in a
recent issue his wrestling pleased the
public. He offered to meet all the
so-called foreign champions recently
and offered to forfeit 910 if he failed
to defeat ten of them in half an hour.
Only seven turned up to face Carkeek
who proved that no better man had
eyer been seen. not emitting even the
redoubtable Polkinghorne. Carkeek
threw the seven in quick succession,
the time for the lot being 10 minutes
and % seconds.

The house railroad committee de-
cided Friday to report a bill that will
repeal the law that was passed a few
years ago to help the 1unfbermen out
of their difficulty in keeping men
after they had employed them and
paid railroad fare upon them for long
distances. It all came about over an
attempt to correct a mistake in the
law that was passed. 1t provided by
fine and Imprisonment for the job
jumpers. The word land" removed
the cases from justice and municipal
courts and made it necessary to IN
dict and try offenders in the district
court. This was giving them alto
gether too much prominence and
making them altogether too expens-
i've, so DR.. Budd introduced bill
simply changing the word land" to
COR" The bill came before the rail-
road committee Friday and a surprs
ing amount of opposition to the whole
law developed Members of the COM
mittee said that it was at their own
risk that employers paid railroad fare
for men and that thee ought not be
law to protect them. So it was
voted to kill of the Budd bill and
report q bill repeating the old law
altogether. However, some of the
members of the committee thought
better of it and one member, who was
one of the strongest for the repeal
Of the law said that he would do his
best to head off that repeal bill and
reinstate the Badd bill. So even if
the committee sticks to its decision
there will be a minority report and
there will be a chance on. the floor of
the house to bring about the result
desired by the lumbermen.

Ore Shipments.

1t is expected that Two Harbors
will ship the coming season between
5000, 900 and 100000 tons of ore. In
the season of 1902 there was moved
from that point, the principal ore
shipping point on Lake Superior,
$40, 120 gross tons of ore, This large
quantity was carried down the lakes
by 281 vessels. The number Of cargos
was ,149, so that the average cargo
was $50 gross tons, The average
shows how the ore trade is constantly
drifting to big vessels.

NATIONAL GUARD IDEAS.

The soldier boys went to Camp John
Hum in the rain and they viii leave
in the rain but they have had some
sunshine between. 1t has been a week
OF work, and there is no doubt that
they have prohted by II. Colonel
Townsend. in his enthusiasm over the
good showing Of the men. makes two
suggestions that the state should own
a permanent camp site. and that all
citizens should be required TO serve a
term in the militia or pay a forfeit.
The first suggestion has merit and
might be considered by the Legisla-
ture. A permanent site would of
course call for an annual encampment,
and would virtually pledge the state to
make an annual appropriation for it,
Under proper control there is no
good reason why this should not be
the outcome. A permanent camping
ground would allow Improvements per-
manens in their nature. adding to the
efficiency OF the men and being con-
ducive to their health and comfort. II
would doubtless also prove more
economical in the end.
But enforced military service will
not be considered. for the simple rea-
SON that it is not necessary. Under
proper regulations there are alway:
enough men wEo ain volunteer to fl
up She ranks and TO make as large q
military force as we require. W.
have not made an estimate, but w
imagine that TO require three years ser.
vice from every man would make al
army that we wouldn't know what L
do with. 1t may do for Germany bu
it is not required i'm Delaware.

P. M. ARTHUR. ECONOMIST.

In the death OF Peter NJ. Arthur,
chief Of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers, organized labor loses its
greatest leader and exponent For forty
years he has been before the public
eye, and during most OF that time he
has been the head and the dominating
force Of the locomotive engineers. Al
most anything that he might have de-
manded would have been granted since
there was universal confidence in his
Judgment. his temperance and his hon
esty.
Mr.. Arthur did not believe in agita-
tions, and was opposed TO strikes save
in rare instances. Because of his atti-
tude in these matters he received on
numerous occasions the censure OF hot
headed labor leaders. but he continued
serenely on his course, believing that
time would justify his opinions. And
It has. No body OF mechanics has had
it's interests more fully protected than
the locomotive engineers. and no body
has been less harassed by strikes and
controversies.
A thousand times we have heard that
the interests of capital and labor are
Identical. Mr.. Arthur believed this,
and made Il the basis Of his conduct of
the affairs Of his organization. Conse-
quently, he will be known in the future,
not as a mere labor leader, but as an
economist who has been efficient in ad-
justing the affairs Of the industrial
world. No man. capitalist or labor
leader, can be friend TO either party
in labor controversies without being a
friend TO both Underlying all such
disputes are certain immutable eco
nomic facts. and ultimately all indus
trial questions must be settled by a
return TO them. a temporary tri-
umph Of either capital or labor at the
expense of true economic principles
which I'm their last analysis are the
fundamental principles of right anc
wrong. throws the whole system Out
OF gear, and there are strikes. lock-
outs, panics and depressions. Mr.. Ar.
thur was honest and direct in his deal
lings. He believed that the demands
Of his organization would always b'
granted because they were right, an'
it was his business to see that the
were right.
He had no patience with a dema
gogue; he never took part in a riot; h
did not associate with agitators; h
never made an inhammable speech; h
never headed an industrial army
and yet he never made a demand with
out receiving courteous treatment an
without having it granted. There is
mighty force contained in the temper
ate statement Of an obviously jus
= claim, and Mr.. Arthur knew this.

PHYSICIAN MAY Be ARRESTED
Alleged Wilmington Doctor performed
Criminal operation on Young Girl.

It Is expected that a Wilmington physi-
clan will be arrested in a few days for
having performed a criminal operation
on Miss Ella NJ. daughter Of L. NJ.
Thompson, of Unionville. The young wo-
man has been living in Coatesville for
about a year, and Jesse A. Barton, a
young resident Of that place Is in the
custody OF the authorities on a serious
charge preferred by the girl who is
seriously Ill at the home of her brother,
Edward Thompson.
Barton has been paying attention TO the
young woman for about a year and was
said to be engaged to be married to her.
Recently, it is alleged, a criminal opera
ton was performed i'm this city from
which the woman is very IN and as she
was expected to die. her friends had Dis
trict Attorney Lack go to Coatesville and
take what was supposed to be her ante
mortem statement. The District Attorney
in the presence of two physicians did
this, and said deposition is very strong
and such as to warrant the arrest Of Bar
ton at once.
1t also duplicates the local physician
who may be arrested at any time.

President.
When asked why the meeting had
been called. President Lawton said that
u was for the purpose of retaining a
large industry here if possible. and he
added
"As far as have looked into the
matter ii would be suicidal to throw
this company into bankruptcy. The
creditors would have more money in
year by allowing the concern to con-

II the company was thrown into bank

The hand Of Charles NJ. Schwab was
again shown. in the affairs of the
United States Shiobuilding Company
when an application was made i'm the
United States Court i'm Newark yester-
day to forclOse the S16,000,0 900 mort
gage bonds on the shiDyard plants.
This move was expected BY Mr.
Schwab, and it means that if the ship
yards are sold as in ordinary foreclos-
ure proceedings, Schwab and his inter
csts may get the properties for a song
II is for this reason that Receiver
James Smith. of the Shipyard Trust,
will vigorously fight the effort TO fore
close. The application will be argued
before some United States District
Judge within the next few weeks.
The petition filed at Newark recited
that the company had defaulted in the
payment Of the interest on the bonds
on July /, and was therefore insolvent.
Andrew c. Gray was In New York
one day this week and pleaded with in

Mr. Gray says that eventually there
will be an argument in this city.

cruise. from Glen Cove to this port.
The new boat led almost from the
start and was in her usual position at
the finish, but the Belmont boat, after
being at one time more than a mile
astern came up with a rush at the
close and was only SO seconds behind
her rival at the line AS the Reliance

The three vessels went over the line
on the starboard tack with ballooners
set. During the first 10 minutes the
Reliance and Constitution pulled by
the Columbia very rapidly, but 10
minutes after the wind fell almost

showed her splendid powers in light
tanning airs. and at 1915 was half a
mile ahead of the Constitution and a
quarter mile ahead of Columbia, the
latter having pulled up a bit. During
the next hour there was a fine tussle
between the Reliance and the Colum-

until she was more than a mile astern

The breeze proved flckle, however,

not quite catch her. AS the breeze
strengthened astern the Constitution
gained rapidly on the Reliance. Two
miles from the finish she was only a
quarter mile astern, and a mile away
from the line she had cut down the
Reliance's lead to two or three hun
dred yards. The new boat broke out
her spinnaker quickly in the hope of
pulling away, but the Constitution fol-
lowed suit and was almost blanketing
the Reliance as they neared the finish
line.
It was then seen that the Constitu-
ton was within her time allowance.
