The Senior American Counsel Al The Hague Gives England and
 Germany Hard Rap.

The Hague, Oct. 6.-Wayne Mac Veagh. senior counsel for the United States, continuing his argument before the Venezuelan arbitration tribunal, declared that the tribunal was one of ethics, namely, whether or not war against Venezuela was just and neces- sary. He maintained that the com plaints of Great Britain were merely a pretext for war. and that Venezuela had far greater right on her side when she complained Of the dispatch of a British vessel from London to the Ca ribbean sea to deliver the cargo of arms to the insurgent chief, Gen. Ma tos, through the intermediary of agents at Trinidad. Counsel said he found no precedent in history for such a purely financial war as, he declared was un- dertaken by Great British and Ger many for the protection of railroad companies bondholders and in support of the claims of the Disconto Gesell- schaft.

DeveIOpm cnts Expected As the Re- suit of a Quiet investigation
 in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct 6.-It has developed that an investigation, undertaken joint ly by two reform organizations, is like Iy to result in the next few days in the disclosure of case of wholesale graft ing in a conspicuous department of the municipal administration.

Grout and Fornes Will Not V0lun- tar;ly Withdraw From the
 Fusion Ticket.
TEE COMPLICATION ARISING
 FROM THEIR TAMMANY SUPPORT.
A Question of Memory or Veracity Has Arisen Between Mayor Low and COmptrOITer Grout, Which Has Put the Former In a Resent- full Mood.

New York, Oct. 6.-It is denied again that Comptroller Grout and President Fornes of the board of aldermen wsl voluntarily withdraw from the fusion ticket. The complication that has arisen over the acceptance by them of the democratic indorsement remains the major feature of the political situ- ation in Greater New York and tha fight for and against them is being actively waged. From democratic sources comes the suggestion that the position of Grout and Fornes could be strengthened by withdrawing entirely from the fusionist movement and go- ing over entirely to the democratic par ty, and Leader Murphy of Tammany, who managed the coup under which they were indorsed, was urged to see Grout and arrange the matter The plan involved the acceptance of full fledged nomiEation from the demo- crats and positive lineup against the fusionist movement daring the cam paign. It was said that Leader Mur- phy favored the plan, but Luke D. Sta pleton, legal adviser for Grout, has again averted the attention of his client to resist the erasure of his name from the fusionist ticket.
 It is down to a question of memory and yeracity between Mayor Low and Comptroller Grout as to the formers s knowledge of the latter's plan to ac- cept democratic indorsement. The major, in rejoinder to the last letter of the comptroller, says he has no rec ollection of second conversation about the democrats indorsing Grout. Here is what the mayor said
 "I have read the comptroiler's state ment, and have no recollection, what ever, of any such second conversation in my office as he speaks of. When ev- erything has been said that can be said the facts remain that until my confer ence with MT. Grout and Mir. Fornes, on last Monday evening, 1 had no appre- citation of any change in their attitude of antagonism to Tammany. When then realized for the first time that neither of them was any longer ready to enter upon an aggressive anti-Tam- many campaign it seemed to be sit uation that vitally concerned those who placed us all in nomination. therefore put the matter before their representatives and left it in their hands. MT. Cuttings action follow. must decline to enter into any further controversary but l can not help re- senting an attempt to represent me as approving a course that l never con- templated as possible

Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1903-10-29

The most surprising fact brought
to light by the last census was the
enormous increase of machinery en-
ployed in manufactures in the United
States. The total horse power SO en-
ployed in 1890 was 5,954,655 Ten
years later it had risen to 11.3o00S1
an increase of nearly 80 per cent
As one horse power is equal to ten
men, we had machinery at work for
us at the beginning of the century
which was equivalent to the muscles
of $4,000 900 men.
Compared with this enormous force,
how insignificant was the number of
employees engaged in all our factories,
viz, 5,3f6S02, counting men, women
and childrent That is. more than nine
teen-twentieths of the work was done
by iron and steel men, who never tired
and never got drunk, and were always
on hand Monday morning and every
other morning. were never lazy, nor
shirked behind the back of the SUI
perintendent and never struck for
higher wages.
When we remember that SO, $50 600
such employees were added to our fac.
tory force between 1890 and 1900, we
need not wonder that our mannfae-
lures went forward with a bound.
It is the opinion of our visitors that
English mechanics, generally speak
