Numerous labor controversies have APP
peared and more furnaces and mills have
closed, the tendency being to operate
only the plants provided with the most
modern equipment. There is no anxiety
regarding legislation at the special ses-
sion of Congress, and despite the curtail-
ment of activity i'll manufacturing lines
Il heavy volume OF business is being
transacted. Flour mills at Minneapolis
have fully resumed, and a big seasons
cut is contemplated mt Minnesota lum-
Der mills Western traffic facilities are
proving inadequate, the distribution of
merchandise being enormous al the in
terror and, taking the country rs a
whole. conditions may be considered fair
ly satisfactory, although there are indis-
putable evidences that abnormal activity
has received a check. ]obbng trade has
become more quiet with the advancing
season, and at many points the weather
is not calculated TO maintain buying of
wearing apparel at retail.

Subway Bore In New York Caves In,
Burying Workmen.

Subway Bore In New York Caves In,
Burying Workmen.
Ten lives were lost by the caving in
of the New York subway tunnel late
Saturday night. Criminal negligence on
the part Of the contractors, it is charged,
led to the accident. All the victims were
worllmen, most of them Italians.
The accident was the most disastrous
that has occurred in the construction Of
the subway. At the point where the
cave-in occurred a gang Of twenty men
were at work in the tunnel, which is
about ITO feet below the surface. Fol
lowing three blasts by the drilling gang,
the roof of the tunnel collapsed, hun
dreds OF tons of rock falling and burying
those of the gang who could not escape.
Rufus G. Hunt, superintendent and
Richard Beyers, general foreman for
John b. Mcdonald, the contractor who
is building the tunnel, were arrested as
soon as they reached the scene of the
disaster, but being experts in tunnel
work and blasting were permitted to di-
rect the work of rescue. Later magis-
trate remanded them to the coroner, who
held them in $4,000 bail each.

ANNEXATION THEIR CRY.
British Co1umbiaus Now Favor Union

British Co1umbiaus Now Favor Union
of Canada with United States.
Local feeling at Vancouver is very
bitter over the award of the Alaskan
boundary commission. There is much
talk of annexation and of Canada be-
coming independent, business men gener-
ally being much dissatisfied at what they
pronounce British disregard of Canadian
interests to please the United States. 1t
Is matter of comment that the most
outspoken among the discontinued are
Englishmen residing here. Many of these
say that Canada will never achieve her
greatest possibilities until she becomes
part of the United States. The Rev.
Elliott S. Rowe, the leading Methodist
minister of British Columbia and who.
with Chief Justice Hunter, composed the
labor commission which sat last summer,
in an interview said: II am Britisher
and | have always been n Britisher, but
If Great Britain is to hand Canada over
piecemeal to the United States, say
let us join the American republic also.
BY doing so now we are large enough,
populous enough and important enough
to have something to say regarding the
terms OF such annexation and also would
be potent enough to have something to
say in the affairs of the republic of
which we would form n part. But If we
wait until our best and richest territory
is given away we shall simply be absorb
ed 1t looks to me as if Canada had
won the case and lost the territory.
Mayor Neelands of Vancouver says that
the Alaska award may lead to the es-
tablishment of Canada as an independent

ROOSEVELT ASKS FOR ACTION.
President In Sermon Says Dep1oring
Wrongdoing Is Not Enough.

Wrongdoing Is Not Enough.
Militant honesty that attacks corrup-
ton in State affairs was appealed for by
President Roosevelt Sunday in n sermon
he gave at the pan-American missionary
service of the Episcopal Church in the
open air at Mount ST. Adams. Bishop
Catterlee and most of the other bishops
attending the missionary conference
were in the large audience. Mr.. Roose-
Welt began by quoting BE We therefore
wise as serpents and harmless as doves
and I'VE being ready both in body and
soul may therefore accomplish these
things which thou commandest."
''In the eternal and amending warfare
for righteousness and against evil,' said
the President, "the friends of what is
good need to remember that in addition
to being decent they must be efficient;
that good intentions, high purposes can
not be effective and substitute for pow
err to make those purposes, those inten-
tons felt in action.
''In the seventh hymn which we sung,
i'll the last line, you all joined in singing
God save the state DO you intend
merely to sing that or to try to do it!
II you intend merely to sing it your part
in doing it will be small. The state will
be saved If the Lord puts it into the
heart of the average man so to shape his
life that the state shall be worth saw
ing and only on those terms.
1--WE need civic righteousness. The
best constitution that the wit of man has
ever devised, the best institutions that
the ablest statesmen in the world ever
have reduced to practice by law or by
custom shall be of no avail if they are
not vivifed by the spirit which makes a
state great by making it honest, just and
brave in the first place."

REVOLT sANTO DOMINGO.
People Turn Against Wos " Gil and
Seek New President.


Seek New President.
The town of Santiago, in the Domin-
lean republic, was surrounded Monday
morning by insurgent troops under the
command of General Epifanio Rodri-
guez. After severe fighting, which last
cd for several hours and during which Il
number of men were wounded, the revo-
lutionsts triumphed and Santiago fell
into their hands. The revolution, which
has broken out in the northern part of
the republic OF Santo Domingo and
which has already resulted in the estab-
lishment of provisional government at
Puerto Plata under the presidency of
General Morales, was caused by the nu-
merous custom house frauds and the pre-
varicationS of the ministers of war and
finance. The revolutionary outbreak IS
extending and the general opinion is that
the government of President Wos Gil
is lost. Vice President Deschamps has
abandoned the government.
