Cause of Decline of the Pennsyl'

Probably the most gigantic conflict
Of wealth ever waged in this country,
which has resulted In the loss OF mil
lions of dollars to the stockholders or
the richest corporations in the world,
is the war in which the Gould-Rocke-
Teller interests are said to be arrayed
against A. j. Cassatt, president OF the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad system. The at
tack on Cassatt is said to be In re-
venge for his action in removing the
Western Union telegraph lines from
the Pennsylvania right of way
For many years the Rockefellers have
been investing In railroad and other
properties. Last year they formed an
alliance with the Goulds, who control

The RULER
OF JAPAN !!
How the Empire Has Progressed
Under MutSuhito, Emperor
of Japan

Notwithstanding reports that Russia
and Japan have come to an agreement
regarding the formers continued oe-
cupation of Manchuria, both nations
keep up. their warlike preparations
and an outbreak at any moment would
cause no surprise among those who are
familiar with conditions in the far
east.
The mikado demands that Man
churia shall be evacuated and that the
car keep his hands off Korea and
rather than retreat from this position
would go to war, 1t is believed. The
Japanese say they want neither Man
churia nor Korea but wish them to
remain independent, with an open door
for the trade of the world. One thing
seems to be certain, the island empire
is not afraid of its mighty rival.
Mutsuhito, emperor of Japan, is one
Of the most remarkable rulers of his
time, having brought his country from
state of standardization to be a
recognized world power in little. more
than thirty years.
The mikado was born in the Inn
perial palace at Kioto in 1852, being
the second son of Emperor Komei
whom he succeeded in 1867. He is the
one hundred and twenty-third emperor
of his line, and his reign has been the
most eventful of ALL In 1868 the pow
er of the shoguns, which had complete
ly overshadowed that of the titular
emperors, was overthrown, and from
that time Japan's advance has been
rapid.
In 1872 the measures taken against
native Christians were withdrawn,
and persecution for religious belief was
ended forever. That year, too, saw the
abolition of feudalism and the dispatch
of an embassy of mobiles and cabinet
officers round the world. They repre-
scented the mikado abroad, bringing
the island empire in close touch with
the highest civilization of the world.
The progress of Japan during the
thirty-six years that Mutsuhito has
ruled on the mating throne" has
made 1t the leading nation of the ORR
ent, while across the Yellow sea China,
the once dreaded rival, has sunk Unto
abject weakness.
The mikado was married in 1863 the
empress being princess of the house

Raising of Peas
(Culdesac Register.)

Many ranchers along Orofino creek
are talking of going quite extensively
into the raising of peas next spring.
Peas are the most profitable crop that
can be grown where stock raising and
is no grain-not even corn-so prof.
table for feeding and fattening hogs.
Peas should be sown about two BUSH
els to the acre and will readily yield, in
this soil and climate, sixty bushels to
the acre. The most profitable pea to
raise is the "Black-Eyed Marrowfat,'
and the stray is nearly equal to timo-
thy or clover for feeding stock.

about to expire. Mr.. Cassatt refused to
renew the contract on any terms.
The Western Union sought by injunc-

its business. The answer Of President
Cassatt was his famous order on May

An attack of an extraordinary kind
was then begun on President Cassatt
with the view, it is said, of driving him
from the control of the Pennsylvania
road. Within a few months there has
been a fall in the price of Pennsylvania
stock of nearly GO points, the price
going down from the highest point on
record to the lowest since the Spanish
war.
What the final result of the great
battle will be no one can predict. for
President Cassatt is a sturdy fighter.

DELEGATES REASSEMBLE.
Second Day Of American FederatiO On
Convention mt BostOn-Address
of Gompers Discussed.

Boston, Nov. 1.-THE delegates to
the twenty-third annual meeting of the
American Federation of Labor Tuesday
reassembled for deliberation on sub
jects, the important nature Of which
has drawn to Boston labor leaders from
all parts of the country. President
Gompers' address and the reports of
Secretary Morrison and Treasurer Len
non were presented Monday, so that the
principal item of routine as arranged
for Tuesday was to be the report of the
executive council of the federation.
Then it was expected that the many
recommendations contained in Pres
ident Gompers' address would be acted
upon by the convention. His declara-
ton that the great danger which con-
fronts the federation is the internecine
strife between affiliated unions over the
jurisdiction Of trades has been the chief
topic of discussion among the delegates.
1t was generally accepted that some
decided action on this matter would be
taken.
Gompers' address took up most of
the afternoon Monday. 1t showed that
the gain in membership Of the affiliated
international unions and Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor during the last
year had been 442, 100. Mr.. Gompers re-
viewed at length what the federation
had accomplished during the year, and
he made numerous recommendations.
He pointed out that the grave danger
which confronted their movement was
the internecine strike, due to the con-
fiicting claims of trade jurisdictions.
Mr. Gompers condemned such anti
trust legislation as was secretly against
labor and urged eternal vigilance with
respect to legislation.
The treasurer's report showed the in
come of the year was s247,sOO, the ex-
penditure $196,015, and the balance on
hand $4,000. ..
