CANNOT MAKE INCREASE
ARBITRATION BOARD AGAINST
 TEXTILE WORKERS. 3
Only One of the Lowell Mills is Able to Grant the Demands of the Strikers, Says the
 Report.

Boston, April 22.-According to the re- port of the State Board of Arbitration and Cancellation presented to Governor Bates today the textile corporations in Lowell involved in the present strike of l7.0co operatives, with single exception, cannot afford to pay their help the 10 per cent. increase in wages demanded by or ganized labor
 The opinion the Board is corroborated by a statement from a State statistician, based on the figures of an accountant employed to make an examination or the financial condition of the seven mills In question. The exception Is the Lawrence Manufacturing Company, the books or which, according to the report, show that it is able to grant the advance de- manded.
 The report further says: 'It Is unnec- essary more than to refer to the increase of Southern mills during the last ten years to show that Lowell has formid- able competitor there. Of the total gain of cotton spindles .n the United States from 1890 to 1900 of 492o.249. 53 per cent. or 2,747.s39 were in the country which produces the plain coarse goods such as are largely made in Lowell.
 ''In view of these facts and after care- full study of the reports of the various experts employed, the Board finds that the claim of the mills that they cannot afford to increase wages Is sustained, ex- cept in the case of the Lawrence Man. ufacturing Company, whose books show that this company is able to grant the advance demanded"

URGES CANAL TREATY.
Colombian Minister Asks the People
 to Consider Question.

to Consider Question. Washington, April 22.-Aristides Fer nandez, Minister of the Interior of Co., lombia, through the Governors of the States. has addressed the editors of news papers throughout Colombia directing their attention to the importance of the fullest consideration in the newspapers of the subject of the Panama canal. Copies of the address have been received in Washington. In substance 1t Is as fol- lows:
 "The matter of the gravest importance which should occupy the attention of the coming Congress to the exclusion of all else Is the matter of the Panama canal and to decide this important business with proper and mature judgment, 1t is neces- sary that all patriots should use their best talents and positions to show to the people the many complicated questions in- volved in the case.
 Tt is not enough for the government and Congress to study the matter; 1t is necessary that all the people, the mass of the population should be advised fully of the interest the nation has in the mat ter as well as the many difficulties and problems which the different projects pre- sent"
 Therefore the Minister calls upon all newspapers and editors to publish all they can obtain on the subject as it is 8 matter of the gravest importance that the future well being of the country as well as to the commercial interests of the world.
 In private letters received in Washing ton, 1t is said that the opponents of the canal complain because the Colombian government permitted the soldiers to vote at the elections held for members of Con. gress.

JOHNSON AND PEPPER.
Unique Feats of a Tailor Governor
 and a Blacksmith Judge.

John Miller Mckee in Nashville Banner.
 A man named John Harvey has been found in the Hoosier State who has a history, one item of which is that he had owned and worn suit of clothes made for him by a man who subsequently became President of the United States a distinction Of which few men of to- day can boast.
 It appears that Harvey was born in Greene vile. Tenn. and a few days before he reached his list year his father sent him to Andrew Johnson, the tailor, to order a suit of fine clothes in which to celebrate his attaining lis majority" which occurred in the Winter of 1882. In his 22nd year young Harvey drifted out West and settled in Sullivan, Ind, where he has resided during the past seventy years, having celebrated the e2nd anniversary of his birth little while ago.
 It Is said of Harvey: For half a century nearly he has been pointed out the one man in Sullivan who had worn a suit of clothes made for him by Andrew Johnson, one time President of the United States" The fit was perfect and when John Harvey strutted along the streets of Greeneville and afterward of Sullivan in an elegant broadcloth suit he was a proud man. and he has occasion to look back upon the display he then made with greater pride. He is probably the only man living for whom Andrew Johnson made a suit of clothes. but he did make a suit for a per- sonal friend many years afterward.
 Jonhson had a fr'r-d in the person of Judge Pepper of Springfield who was as strongly. set III ms WniS Ialtn as Johnson was in his Democratic. and between these champions of opposite politics there existed a tie of friend ship, and 1t was rather a strange consorting for in those days of heated political discussions into which personalities unconsciously entered leading politicians of opposing parties seldom became close personal friends; but this formed an exception. and was just such a thing as Johnson delighted to cultivate. He had a pe- culiar way of doing things that caused his friends to wonder why he thus acted. It was a sincere friendship. for neither hoped to con- vert the other to his way of thinking
 In his youth Judge Pepper had learned the blacksmith's trade, and he had no cause to be ashamed of his workmanship. The Judge was ambitious. but was hampered by lack of education fitting him to aspire to a profess sion. for he had acquired only such as was to be gained in ''the old field school'' of his day. However. spurred by ambition. he applied him self to study and thus gained such knowledge of affairs qualified him to read law He was som licensed to practice, and was mal- ing fair headway when he elected Judge of the Circuit Court which embraced Robert son County. A self-made man. he had by in- domitable energy forced his way into an hon orable position in the judiciary of his State.
 On one occasion when Judge Pepper was thrown with Governor Johnson-for he seldom visited Nashville without calling upon the Governor at his office-they indulged in remi- niscences of their early struggles. and how they had overcome difficulties that appeared

to them almost ins slrmountable. and had suc- ceeded in reaching a high point on the ladder of fame. After they had fought their early struggles over Johnson challenged Pepper to trial of skill In their respective trades of the early times. Johnson proposed to. take the measure of his friend. cut. make and press with his own hands suit of clothes for the Judge if he would make a fire shovel and tongs for the Governor. The challenge was accepted, and notwithstanding many years had elapsed since either had worked at his traie, they showed that the good right hand had not for- got its cunning for Johnson stepped into a tailor shop in the city and in few days turned out an elegantly fitting suit of fine broadcoth of which Judge Pepper was i'm mensely proud. In few days the Judge de- livered to the Governor a shovel and tongs as shapely and highly polished as could be found in any store in the city. The Governor and Judge were justly proud of what they had accomplished, and their friends congratulated them that they still first-rate mechanics as well as politicians.
 Is there any other State in the Union with both Governor and Judge in office that can match these feats?
