confessed that he was agreeably surprised
at the number Of men it was proving pos

Pickets of the union are on hand to-day
but are not particularly active. The mill
operatives have always been recognized as
being a high class Of men and while pre-
cautions have been taken, there is no real
apprehension that there will be any seri-
Gus lawlessness. Approaches to the mill
district are now INSTRUCTED by fences and
admission is by ticket. AS fast as new
men are hired at the general offices of the
companies, they are taken to the mills In
private carriages and the pickets are thus
deprived Of their opportunity.
It is probable that the cordial relations
which have until recently existed between
the mill owners and operatives are now a
factor in encouraging other men to seek
employment in the mills. Turkeys at

New York, Sept 25.-The parlors and
drawing-rooms Of the Waldorf Astoria
was the scene yesterday Of queer gath
ering Of Indians and millionaires. Harry
Lehr and wife were responsible for the
gathering. Chief Joseph, the leader Of
the band, was the especial pet Of the
women. Despite his 80 years, the VEN
cradle chieftain Is as straight as an arrow.
He was at his best, having been told
that he was to meet some Of the grand
est ladies in all New York"
He wore the distinguishing marks OF
his rank on his cheeks, six blue spots on
each, with an extra dab of yellow on his
chin and crimson at his temples. He
crowded all the extra feathers available
into his head dress and set the fashion
for the Waldorf with his broad flannel
shirt Tapping over his breeches.
Chief Joseph was led into the room on
the arm of Colonel Cummins. In the
group which greeted him were Mr.. Edwin
and Mrs. Howard Gould and Mrs Stuy-
vesant Fish, and together they escorted him
to the nearest sofa. There the old chief
held a levee and recounted to his admir-
ers how he led the American soldiers a
2,Ooo-mile pursuit over the broken chain
of the Rocky mountains.
Stripped Of Their Feathers.
The Indians were toasted in cup OF
tea and after their final salutations were
per1titted to depart They did not leave
the room, however until they had shed
nearly all the feathers that had decorated
their clothes when they entered, and each
of the women In the hotel who could get
near them went away hourishing q
souvenir.
Before they left the Indians were es-
corted on an inspection tour thru the
hotel They all made bee line for the
bar the instant they left the reception
room and the old chief drank a couple Of
high balls to bring back his exhausted
strength.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 25-Iowa's at
titude in the next republican national
convention, on the tariff issue Is to be de-
termined by battle of factions that Is
just now opening. The question OF
whether Iowa will present a candidate for
vice president, and who 1t shall be, IS
likewise involved.
The opposing elements are lighting TO
control tho organization OF the legislature
which will meet In January, with an over
whelming republican majority. TO win
this point will be long advantage IN
prestige patronage and opportunity.
Governor Cummins leads the element OF
reyisionists. He Is disappointed at the
outcome of his harmony program this
year, for 1t only made him misunder-
stood. Some of his best friends felt that
he surrendered something that he could
have held by fighting. He has insisted
that he did not intend to surrender any

National Convention Delegates.
The state convention to name national
delegates will be in May, 1904. Three
candidates for delegates at large are al
ways NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Allison, Cover
nor Cummins and J. w. Blythe, the North
ern Securities political representative In
Iowa and general solicitor Of the Burling-
ton system. Probably Senator Allison will
be chairman and head the list Of delegates

ton. Neither is confident Of him; but
as mass. Iowa republicans revere him as
those of Massachusetts, do Hoar, and he
will sit in the senate so long as he lives,
and have his own way whenever he asks
1t In politics.
Indications favor the Cummins men in
five congressional districts, and the Blythe
mon In six. AS each district names Its
own delegates, this would give Cummns

Washington, Sept 25.-The action Of
the executive council of the American
Federation Of Labor in referring the W.
A. Miller charges to a committee for

the council Will let the case rest until
after President Roosevelt announces his
final decision in 1t. If the president shall
order the dismissal of Miller from the
government printing office on the old
charge Of immortality that will probably
end the case, even tho the chief executive
couples with this order of dismissal a re-
iteration of his decision that the print
ing office shall be an "open shop
If Miller is not dismissed it will be for
the executive council to take UP the case
at a later meeting or let it come before
the annual convention of the Federation
at Boston in November. It is we'll under

to do with the action of the council in
temporarily shaping the case.
Mitchell left this afternoon for the coal
fields of Maryland and West Virginia.
Tuesday he will come back here for a
conference with President Roosevelt, who
wants to talk with him about the Miller

PRIEST IS SHORT
IN HIS ACCOUNTS
Speculated in Mining Stocks With
Church Money and Has
Lost $4,000.

Denver. Sept. 25-The News to-day
says that Father Callahan, the pastor OF
the cathedral parish and in charge Of the
finances Of the parish and for the build
ing Of new cathedral, Is short in his
$4,000.
The entire amount Of the. cathedral
fund, $4,000, has been invested in mining
stocks by Father Callahan, according to
the News, and at least half OF the total
sum has been lost thru depression Of the
stocks.
There is no suspicion that Father Cal
lahan has profited personally from the
affair. It is believed that he began the
speculation to increase the cathedral fund
and after learning that he was losing, has
gradually invested the entire body in
order to make good.

New York Sun Special Service.
Toronto, Sept. 25.-The Globe, the govs
eminent organ, says edttorially:
1T can be stated on good authority that
British capital is ready for investment in
the great enterprises at Sault Ste. Marie.
IL favorable terms can be arranged. This
would be regarded as a most happy issue
out of the difficulties that for the past
few months have beset these works.
That an industry Of the magnitude and
with the prospects Of these works should
be threatened with serious embarrassm ent
for the lack Of such sum as Speyer &
Co. require, constitutes an almost fantastic
situation, and it is therefore good news
that English capitalists are disposed to
come forward not only to discharge that
debt, but to provide for the early re-
sumption Of work.

Louisville, KY. Sept. 25.-Henry Wat
terson, in the Courier Journal, in answer
to an editorial in the Birmingham, Ala,
Ledger. makes the charge that some OF
the United States senators sold out when
the Morgan Hepburn bill was up for con-
sideration and that the Panama canal
route Is the result of gigantic job. He
says among other things:
The Morgan Hepburn bill designating
the Nicaraguan route, supported by the
report Of a commission and Of ample col
lateral testimony, had passed the house
by an overwhelming majority, and was
about to pass the senate by a two-thirds
vote when, in the person Of M. Eduard
Lampre, Panama turned up at Washing

The rogues In France who had got pos

be made practicable-twenty millions for
the thieves in France and twenty mil
lions for the thieves in America-Huttr

Lampre Begins Work.
With his arrival upon the stage the
scenes began to be shifted. First one
newspaper correspondent and then anoth-
er came out for Panama. First one alleged
expert and then another came out fol
Panama. Public opinion thus manipulated
and supposed to be adjusted, the gray
wolves Of the senate began to show the
