to pass q law prohibiting it, the same
as they prohibit smoking and splitting

Employees with the Great Northern.

editorial column.l
The Matter Of Strikes.
To strike or not to strike seems to
be the question to be decided by the
Great Northern trainmen. 1t is con-
coded that this is the matter on which
vote is now being taken all over the
system, and the result will be awaited
with not a little interest throughout
the Northwest.
The particular matter of disagree
ment at this time is the compensation
tosbe paid trainmen for work on dou-
ble-header trains. After a long con
ference, in which all the subjects iii
controversy We're thoroughly gone
owe agreement was reached on every
point except this, and on this both
the committees representing the en-
.ployes and the general manager of
the road remained firm. The con-
ference was therefore broken off, and
the men are low voting on whether
they will accept the situation as it
low is or not.
General Manager Ward has issued
a pamphlet in which the proceedings
at the conference are reported, and
the summary Of the contents of that
pamphlet so far as they apply to the
question at issue is given in another
column. Still more briefly stated the
controversy resolves itself into this:
The ,trainmen. claim that the com
pany, by running trains with two en-
gines and only n train crew, is im-
posing work on the single train crew
that would ordinarily be performed
by two, with a proportionate+increase
of responsibility. The idea seems to
be that any train too heavy for n
engine is.stoo heavy for one train
crew. They demand, therefore, either
that the practice of Notwithstanding
shall be discontinued or that the train
crews employed on this work shall re-
ceive double pay.
The company claims that there is

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Secretary
Hitchcock of the interior department

a thorough investigation made into
alleged Irregularities in Indian Terri
tory by some one not connected with
the department. This announcement
was made in response to request
from the Dawes commission, as fol.
lows:
widespread newspaper criticism OF
a character involving the integrity OF
our work and our fidelity to duty i'm
pels us to request that an immediate
and searching investigation be insti.
tuted and that the president be in
formed of this desire. Work unparal
leled in the history Of civilization, the
result of years of unremitting toll, is
threatened by fanatical reports and
questionable journalism. We urge
that there be assigned to the work of
investigation one whose reputation
for honesty, ability and fearlessness is
well established and whose findings
will be universally accepted
The secretary replies to the tele.
gram saying that as soon as the proper
man could be secured he would be sent
to the Territory with instructions to
make complete and impartial inquiry

PRESIDENT HAS MANY CALLERS.
Financial Legislation and Postal At
fairs Discussed.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 28.-The
proposed financial legislation and the
pending postofice investigation were
the most important subjects discussed
during the day by President Roosevelt
R1ths his visitors. President Roose-
Felt entertained at luncheon Repre-

Employees Of Government Printing OF

Washington, Aug. 2S.-An order
from Public Printer Palmer was is
sued to the heads of divisions Of the
government printing Office just before
the hour for closing to appear before
a notary public in the Office and take
the oath Of allegiance to the United
States as subscribed to by clerks IN
der the civil service law.
Mr.. Palmer said he had issued the
order at the suggestion of a govern
ment official, whose name he declined
to divulge.
He said that its object was to place
the per diem employees in the same
attitude toward the government as
that of the clerks on annual salaries
who have subscribed to the order.
He said that every employe of the
Office would be affected by the order
but to prevent loss of time and con
fusion the chiefs of divisions were
asked to take it first and that grad
ually the entire force would have the
oath administered.

REphRATIoN DEMANDED OF TURKEY
EUROPEAN SQUADRON ORDERED
TO BE IN READINESS TO
| @SAIL FOR SCENE.

Washington, Aug. 28-The state de-
partment has received a telegram from
Minister Leishman at Constantinople
announcing that William G. Magelssen
United States vice consul at Beirut
Syria, was assassinated while riding in
a carriage.
The American minister Immediately
brought the crime to the attention OF
the government and demanded action
by Turkey.
Acting Secretary Loomis has cabled
Minister Leishman instructing him to
demand the immediate arrest and pun
ishment of the persons guilty of the
murder. No demand for money indem-
nifty for the mans family has yet been
made and probably will follow.
Magelssen was appointed from Min
nesota.
Minister Leishman's cablegram was
dated Wednesday and stated that the
assassination occurred Sunday, the
minister being informed of the crime
by Consul Ravndal. The consul stated
that the murderer was not seen and is
not known.
Magelssen, who is Scandinavian,
was appointed vice consul at Beirut,
Sept. 20, 1899, by Consul Gabriel Bic
Ravndal who is of the same national
,ity. AT the time of his appointment
as vice consul he was consular clerk
in Turkey MagelsseH was appointed
on the recommendation of Senator Mel
son Of Minnesota, who says that he
was the son of prominent Lutheran
minister. He was born at Bratzburg,
Fillmore county, MINI.
Warships Ready to Move.
Admiral Cotton, commanding the
European squadron, has been cabled
by the navy department to have his
vessels in readiness to move to Beirut,
which is on the eastern shore of the
Mediterranean sea, in case the de-
mands of the United States govern
mint upon the turkish government
are not complied with. The Brooklyn
and the San Francisco are at Vile
franche and the Machias is at Genoa.
The announcement Of the assassina-
tion of the American vice consul, fol-
lowing so soon upon the assassination
of Russian consul In Turkey, created
strong comment in official circles and
the suggestion was made that such
frequent assassinations indicate a
very disturbed condition of affairs, in
the Turkish dominions Minister
Leishman gave no particulars of the
assassination and the state depart
ment has no information as to the
cause of the murder. The American
government will insist that the local
authorities be punished if they were
derelict in their duty and that full
measure of punishment be given the
actual perpetrators of the outrage.
Beirut is a city on the eastern coast
of the Mediterranean sea and is
place of considerable commercial Inn
portance. It is probable that the ac-
ton of the Turkish government and
the conditions existing at Beirut will
determine whether or not the Euro
pean squadron is to be sent to Turk
ish waters. Unless the Turkish gov
ernment acts promptly upon the de-
mands made by the United States gov
1t is expected that the Euro
pean squadron will at once move east

BRITISH EAST AFRICA COLONY.
Jews Will Send Committee to Inves-

Basic, Switzerland, Aug. 2S.-The
debate in the Zionist congress on the
British proposal to set apart portion
of British East Africa for colonization
by the Jews closed during the day. The
congress, by 225 votes to LII, adopted
q resolution to appoint committee Of
nine which will be sent on an expedi-
tion to East Africa to investigate the
situation. The Russian delegates op-
posed the project and left the hall as
protest
The territory that Great Britain has
offered for Jewish colonization is an
elevated tract 200 miles long on the
Uganda railroad, between Mau and
Nairobi. Sir Harry Johnston, former
special commissioner for the Uganda
protectorate, in his report on the
country, described this region as al
most unparalleled In tropical Africa,
being admirably watered, fertile, cool,
covered with noble forests, almost un-
inhabited, and as healthy for Euro
peans as Great Britain.
