ADMISSION OF w omen.
At the session in Richmond in 1872. wo-
men were admitted to membership in the
unions on the same terms as men. The
incompleteness or inaccuracy OF the re-
turns from the locals was shown from the
fact that while the number of unions had
increased during the year. only 1854 MEM
bers were reported. while the number re-
ported the year before was 1920.
The twentieth convention passed q reso-
luton asking the subordinate unions to Pc
tition Congress to abolish the government
printing Office. The twenty-first session
rescinded this resolution by q vote Of 70
to o.
There was trouble reported at the TWEEN
ty-secOnd annual meeting at st. Louis In
1874. There had been a number OF strikes,
enc resulting in the disbanding Of the Pitts
urG union. and another In the trial and
conviction Of twelve members of Titusviile,
Pa. union for conspiracy under the anti
labor laws Of Pennsylvania. The union re-
solved to appoint a committee to receive
Greeley. They had already been collecting
money for q monument to Artemus Ward
and had raised $1.529.59. which was report
ed by a special committee to have been
stolen by Secretary-Treasurer John Col
Inns and Ward lost his monument.
Political Tendencies Decried.
The twenty-third annual session at Bos-
ton. in 1875. Is noteworthy mainly on ac-
count of the very conservative address by
President Bodwell. who deplored all ten
denotes toward union OF the toilers for
united political action. Statistics by the
corresponding secretary showed 1855

a position to lower the wage scale for the
other women 1t is feared by those in au-
thority that she would be willing to work
for less than she is now doing. This seems
very doubtful to many. Teachers salaries
are already so low that it is a wonder
that any woman qualified to enter the pro-
fession should consider her services worth
little money. The enemies or the mar
ried teacher do not make the same dis
elimination against the woman whose par
ents partially support her. 49,
There is one very good reason for the diff

no especial intellectual qualification was

was prepared to instruct younger persons.

after the profession itself has been theo-
reticaly uplifted, after Soundly educated
teachers are demanded in all good schools,
and after the Importance of special train
ing for the work is fully realized by those

The smallness of the compensation does
not deter a large class of women, so that
the dearth of women teachers is not at any
time remarkable. Something has to be
done to attract men TO the PROFESSION, ana
the only practicable thing is to discrimi-
nate largely in their favor.
The one encoura ging circumstance for the
woman teacher is that her disabilities are
decreasing, slowly, it is true, but surely.
In the year 1894 first-year teachers in New
York were paid, men $780, women $40S. The
difference now is not quite as great in the
beginning and is less at the end. While
a few of their masculine co-workers are
irving to exclude them from the high
school and from other superior positions, a
larger number are heartily in favor of do
ing them the fullest justice. 1t is a state of

of teachers salaries comes up, as it does

AFTER TREASURE TROVE.


New York Tribune.
After a voyage of $4,000 miles in search
of treasure worth $50000,000, supposedly hid
den eighty years ago in the South Sea
islands, ex-Aiderman George w. Sutton, of
New Rochelle, returned home yesterday to
his wife and family, whom he had not seen
in fifteen months. After he and his COM
panions had spent about $4,000 they be-
came convinced that the tale of the buried
treasure told them by Capt. James Brown,
the sea captain of Auburn, Mass, who
ganiZed the expedition, was myth. The
schooner Herman, on which the party made
the voyage, was sold at the Island of Ia
hiti, and the treasure hunters, consisting OF
Mr.. Sutton and his party and Captain
Brown and his crew of seven men, returned
to San Francisco by steamer. Mr.. Sutton
says that when he left San Francisco Cap
tain Brown, who is seventy-five years old,
was in jail. charged with assaulting the
japanese cook.
Mr.. Sutton declared last night that he had
good time and was not sorry he had made
the trip. He said he would not prosecute
the captain. The latter, he said, told many
remarkable tales at sea, declaring among
other things that Sherlock Holmes used to
work for him and that Captain Kettle was
once his first mate.
Continuing, Mr.. Sutton said:
II had launch and visited scores of the
South Sea islands, where / took snapshots
of the natives and purchased trinkets of

souvenirs of all kinds and enough pictures
and material to publish a book. 1 was in
command of the Herman for several
months after we deposed Capt. Brown, and
on our voyage through the South seas L
flew the flag of the New Rochelle Yacht
Club.
IF there is any truth in the treasure
story l am satisfied Capt. Brown will never
find the booty. After the failure of our
expedition l don't believe he could ever
organize another company. / was induced
to become member of the expedition by
a friend in San Francisco. He heard Capt
Browns story and wrote to me to investi-
gate. / went to Auburn, Mass, and saw
the captain, who is Norwegian. He APP
peared TO be a truthful man, and was ap-
parently much in earnest that 1 went to
San Francisco with him, taking my lawyer
with me to organize the company"
The captain told Mr.. Sutton that in 1920
when there was a revolution in Peru, all
the national treasure and the gold and sill
yer plate of the churches were loaded on
the American schooner Black Witch and
taken TO Cocos island, in the South seas
where ii was buried. He said that in 1857
he and Capt. Smith, of Salem, Mass, who
was the son of the captain of the Black
Witch, went to Cocos island in a sailing
vessel, found the treasure and removed il to
another island, where they planted it again.
Then they went on pirate trip and looted
some vessels bound home with gold from
Australia. On the way back 10 Australia
he said the crew got to fighting and all
were killed or drowned except himself and
Smith. Capt. Smith tried TO Kill him. but
he shot him in self-defenSe and threw the
body overheard.

A Conspiracy to Bring Hard Times.

Before the soft-handed but iron jawed agitators came among them, the miners of Arizona were prosperous and contented. They were receiving good wages, and operators were voluntarily making the working day shorter as fast as the circumstances in each case would permit. Most Arizona mines, be it remembered were in the prospect stage, and the dividend payers in the whole territory could be counted on the fingers of one hand. But owners had faith in their properties; there was a general conviction that within an- other ten years there would be scores of mines paying good dividends, and as an evidence of this faith money by the millions was going into new develop ment.
 Moreover, in all the mining regions of the world, no miner was so pleas antly situated as the Arizona miner. Working in a perfect climate, free from all inclemencies of the weather which beset mining elsewhere, free from all danger of disease, employed almost uniformly in mines which were dry and comfortable, the miners in this territory had no thought of a griev- ance.
 The situation was one of happiness for everybody except the agitator He, indeed, faced a horrible fate. He was confronted by the stern necessity of having to go to work unless he could stir the miners up sufficiently to make them contribute to his maintenance.
 So the campaign of discomfort was begun. Up and down the mountain trails, into every mining camp, big and little, went the apostles of the gospel of hate, telling the miners that they were fools to be on such friendly terms with their employers, telling them that they were fools to work more than eight hours-and preaching the damn able doctrine that all the wealth pro- duced by the mines belonged in reality to the men who were paid for digging it out.
 Many miners were, and have been all the time. too sensible to welcome the agitators. They pointed out that. the mining industry in Arizona was in it's infancy; that what was needed more

ammonia as plant food. The dis patches state that in the discussion which followed Professor Franks paper the speakers recognized the importance of the discovery, but some raised doubts as to the cost of producing the fertilizer. The inventor replied that he had satisfied himself on that point.
 Apparently it escaped the attention of the Berlin congress that the manu- facture of electrically produced car bides has already reached large propor- tions in the United States, particularly at the great power plants at Niagara Falls. Wherever electricity can be produced cheaply, as by water power, the manufacture of carbides on large scale is easy, and a few years hence, when the Salt River valley is covered with a system of transmission lines from power plants on the Salt river and on canals running therefrom, the manufacture of chemical fertilizers may become an important industry as an incidental feature of supplying power for irrigation.
 And it is a mistake to assume that the fertile desert soils are not lacking in any of the plant foods. Alfalfa. on account of drawing such large quanti- ties of nitrogen from the atmosphere, IS an ideal fertilizer when ploughed under, but there are very few ranchers who think they can afford to sacrifice an alfalfa field for the purpose of enrich ing the soil. With the coming of a regular supply of water we shall see the orange business grow by leaps and bounds, and it is now generally recog- nized that the finest oranges are grown in orchards which have been treated to a scientific fertilizer Live ranchers will be interested, therefore, in every new discovery that adds to the list ot plant foods.

For Law and Order.

In sending troops to Morenci and Clifton in response to appeals from the peace officers of Graham county, acting Governor Stoddard has performed a simple duty. Had he shown any hesi- tation whatever, most serious results might have ensued. It may not be pos sible. indeed, to avoid deplorable con- sequences in any event, but unques- tionably the prospects for peace have been improved by MT. Stoddard's prompt support of the civil authorities in restoring order in the disaffected camps.
 There is no secret about the mission of the national guard. It is to protect life and property, under the orders of Sheriff Parks. It is to be hoped that there will be no mistake at Morenci or Clifton as to what the territory pro- poses to do. Law and order must be maintained at all hazards.
 
 It is gratifying to note the ready manner in which President Roosevelt has supported the acting governor. Five troops of regulars are to be thrown at once into the disaffected dis trict. and the regulars have the same orders as the national guard-to pro- tect life and property.
 That the situation is serious, is not to be doubted. More than a thousand Italians and Mexicans, heavily armed, have created reign of terror and are a grave menace to the lives nd prop erty of peaceable citizens. The rioters must be suppressed.
 There is no question of unionism, nor any other question involved in which self-respecting labor can be interested in upholding the rioters. The right to stand out for better wages is inviolable but no exigency can confer a right to riot

A New Plant Food.

It seems very probable that agricul- ture will reap some of the benefits which the discoveries of modern science are giving to humanity. Last week, at the opening of the international chemical congress at Berlin, Professor Frank. of Charlottenburg, read a paper on the utilization of the nitrogen in the atmosphere for agriculture.
 He described the process by which he discovered the making of fertilizer from atmospheric nitrogen. The pro- cess consists of using electrically pro- duced carbides for converting nitrogen into amide and cyanide combinations, which are then used with the raw material of various fertilizing salts. Professor Frank calls the finished product calcareous nitrogen. It was explained that several scientific agri- culturists have been experimenting with the new fertilizer for two or three years, and are finding it nearly equal to nitrate of soda ana sulphate of
