President d. NJ. PARRY, President
Of the Manufacturers Association which
recently met in New Orleans, declares
that there was no desire evinced at the
meeting to Cypress the workers OF the
country .Not an expression was
uttered" he says, (Which might be
taken as an assault upon trades unions,
but the feeling of the association was
unit as to the proposition that violence
and coercion in industrial disputes must
he eliminated in the future. If it Is to be
a contest carried on along high toned law
ful lines. the employees ofthe country, ="
no said - will be the first to meet labor on
this basis. But we do not propose to
have the United States placed IN the
clutches of a dreary, obstinate, and
vicious sort of trades uniOnism which
has England by the throat. The move
ment in this country today is in the
hands of foreigners of strong socialistic
and anarchistic tendencies, and these
leaders are doing everything in their
power to start a rebellion against the
United States government" The truth
of Mr.. Parry's observations must be
apparent to all who view the situation
in its proper light, and the danger to
the working men today is the incorpora-
ton into their ranks ofmen-mostly those
who have left their native climes for
their countrys' good-whOse real object

Fight With Turks.

London, April 21.-The Evening
Stars Sofia correspondent wires today
that Lieutenant Saeff and sixty members
of his revolutionary band who were de-
feated and scattered by the Turks, in the
district of Melnik on April 9th, were be-
trayed to the Turks. The reason
they were not all annihilated, the cor
respondent says, is that when the firing
commenced, the revOlutionists were rein
forced by the villagers. The fight lasted
for six hours. Lieut.. Saeff was shot in
the abdomen, and his followers, losing
heart at his wound, retired to the hills.
They lost FIVE killed and six wounded,
A fight has occurred at ZenOi, the cor
respondent continues, lasting for four
hours. Sixty-fve revolutionary soldiers
under Captain Lefterof attacked two
battalions of Turks. The revolution
aries were finally repulsed with a loss
of Is killed and Is wounded, but be-
fore they were routed, they put up a
stiff fight. At one time in the engage
ment one of the Turkish battalions be-
came panic stricken, and tried to re-
treat across the Bregalniza river. The
Turkish loss was heavy. The Bulgar-
ian government, the correspondent
states, has released Col. JankOff, the in
surgent leader on bail of 400 Turkish
bounds.

THE TERRIBLE accident to a passen-
ger train on the Erie Railroad early yes
terday morning by which eight persons
were either crushed to death or burned
alive and ten others more or less IN
iured. was, it seems, caused by blunder
on the part of seventeen-year-old boy
who had charge of tower and had
given a wrong signal. This is not the
first instance in recent years where after
serious railway wrecks the Investigations
into their cause have shown that mex
perienced youths have been placed IN
positions where hundreds of lives we're
dependent upon their vigilance and re-
sponsibility. 1t would seem to most
laymen that those placed in signal tow
ers should of all other railway employees
be of mature years and thoroughly re-
liable.

TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL p, 1908

THE EXPRESSION of misguided ex-
nansionists. TRADE follows the nag,
might be amended by adding the words,
land rascality ALSO" if the statement
recently made by the captain of an Eng
lisb steamer is to be credited, and there
is no reason why it should not be. The
captain alluded to has Just arrived from
Manila. which he unhesitatingly pro-
nounces the worst place he was ever IN.
He says the main object of most OF the
Tinted States officials is "to feather
their nests" as he puts it, and in order
to accomplish that end there is nothing
too sacred to escape lOoting. AS to the
rebellion being at an end, the captain
saws the natives are just as far from be-
ing pacifed as ever, and that assassina-
t;on is as common now as ever and that,
too. almost in the confines Of Manila
In short, from the description he gives
of his adventures aud observations, the
American rule is a patent failure and
that fact is becoming more apparent
every day. 1t has long been suspected
that the administration is keeping back
much information concerning American
rule in the Philippines, and that 1t Is
aware of the fact that a horde OF cor
morants are fattening upon the islanders
has long been patent to most people
The ACQUISITION of the Philippine Islands
will doubtless serve to enrich many from
this country who seem to look upon the
islanders as their legitimate prey, but thai
the islands have already been costly &c
the American taxpayers and are likely
TO be still more so as time goes on IS as
clear as the MONDAY sun. Spain may
vet realize that her reverses were bless
ings in disguise, as by the results OF the
late war she has been relieved of colon
jal burdens which the United States, in
wild enthusiasm, has thoughtlessly as
sumed.

ACCORDING to a dispatch from Wash

shore leave in foreign countries and In
more than one instance have caused
strained relations between their own and

ANGRY WITH THE GOVERNOR. -
While Governor Montague was at the
West Virginia launching banquet, Sat
urday, he received note, signed by II
Richmond citizens, saying that the train
on which they came was detained on ac-
count of his car being attached thereto.
The commander of the German cruiser
Gazelle was then in the midst of his
speech, and Governor Montague could
not leave for fear of appearing discour-
teous or of creating international bad
feeling. When he getaway the detained
citizens had grown more restless, and Mr..
Hardwicke a man of considerable promi-
nence, rushed up to the Governor, shak-
ing both fists in his face, and declared
it was a shame and an insult to have thus
treated the several hundred Richmond
ers. The Governor kept cool, but Col.
George G. Cabell, his chief of staff,
grew angry, and epithets flew thick and
fast. Other staff members and members
of the legislature entered into the excited
discussion with the citizens behind Mr..
Hardwicke, and only the GOODNESS and
command of Governor Montague pre-
vented disgraceful row. The Governor
knew nothing of the arrangement by
which the citizens was detained on his
account. When this was understood
Mr.. Hardwicke apologized, and peace
was restored.
