TRIBUTE TO KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Sir Henry r. IngersOll, of Tennessee,
an eminent Knight Templar, pays the
following chivalric tribute to the Knights
of Columbus:
"No higher tribute was ever paid to
our order, to its fraternity, its secrecy
and its lofty Christian purpose and use
fulness than the establishment and
growth of the Catholic Knights of Col
umbns within the communion of the
Roman Church and with the expressed
approval Of its hierarchy. Its secrets,
of course, we may never know, but it is
secret fraternal order and like us it
supports the Christian religion and
cultivates fraternity among its members.
1t boasts already a membership greater
than ours, and they are proud of their
new privilege. In some important
features it cannot hope TO vie with Tenn
plary. 1t is single order with no such
formation as ours Its candidates are
not select body of men who have been
often tried and never denied. They are
all of identical religious opinions, men,
bers of the same church. But they will
be better men, better churchmen, better
citizens. doubtless, for their fraternal
association, and we wish them pleasure
and profit in the new order, and the SER
vice it will require for humanity"

Office a repetition of the Kishineff
massacre is inevitable"

Troubles Being Settled.

Chicago, May 9O.-In several branches
of industry in Chicago the strife between
employer and employees has given away
to peace Business interests took a hand
in the freight handlers controversy and
the Lake Shore Railroad reached an
agr cement with the men in its freight
sheds. This action is believed to fore
shadow pacific settlement by the other
roads. The steam engineers national
executive board ordered the men on
strike in the stock yards to 60 back to
work and to respect agreements and the
hotel and restaurant employees leaders
decided to make large concessions from
their demands. The signing ofan agree
ment of the Lake Shore road with its
union freight handlers came unexpect-
edly. The increases are four per cent.
less than one sixth of the first demands.

A SOCIALISTIC ATTITUDE. The an
nual report of President Charles Meyer
to the convention of Western Federation
of Miners, now in session at Denver.
COL, recommends a renewal of the
declarations of the convention last year
in favor of socialism and independent
political action. Referring to the set
Element of the anthracite coal miners
strike by arbitration, Mr.. Meyer said:
"Can the leader of this army of men ex-
pect to hold his organization intact when
he advises them to continue a policy
which offers nothing for the future but
strife and restitution, and commends
the findings of a board of arbitration
selected by the representatives ofcapital,
which binds the chains of slavery more
securely round his membership and
deprives them even of the privilege of
appealing to their masters for period
Of three years? John Mitchell need
not be surprised should his membership
turn their faces to the West, seeking
utilization with organizations which
have sent out their message to the world
that, as labor produces all wealth, such
wealth belongs to the producers thereof"
Mr.. Meyer urged the convention to
specify date for establishing univer-
sal eight hour day throughout its entire
jurisdiction.

THE DEFENCE of A. w. Machen,
former general superintendent of free
delivery in the Postofice Department,
against the charge of taking brides, it is
said, will be that he was silent partner
in the firm of contractors Mr.. Machen
was silent all right, but the other fellows
did the talking. Then Mr. Machen
should remember that money talks, and
he is accredited with receiving $22, 900
out of $50, 900 government contract.

tariff revision nor antitrust legislation
at the next session of Congress. Why,
of course not. A presidential election

PRESIDENT OF LABOR UNION AR
REsTED.-Following the seizure and ex-
animation of the books of the Democratic
Labor Union, the government at Manila
yesterday arrested President Dominadnor
Gomez on charges of Incorporating
funds, brigandage, fraudulent sales of
stock and organizing an illegal associa-
ton. Over 100,0O0 pesos were collected
in dues and contributions. The books
show deficit of 1000 pesos. 1t is be-
lieved to be possible that part of the
amount was stolen before Gomez was
elected president. The government
charges that part of the fund was used
to furnish arms and food to the in
surgents of Rial province. This, with
Gomez's correspondence with Guillermo
and other leaders in the field, forms the
basis of the brigandage charge. The
union has a membership of $4,000, is
closely affiliated with the nationalist
party and is strongly in sympathy with
the insurgents. The arrest of Gomez
has excited the natives. No disorders
have occurred, but the governments
action will increase the feeling of unrest
in Manila, which has been disturbed
lately by reports of the landing of arms.
The situation, however, is not serious.

the Panama canal treaty is doomed to
defeat in the Colombian congress. 1t is
said that the Colombians hope by de-
ferring action for two years to obtain the
sum allotted to the Panama Canal Com
pany. This induces many to believe
that the Nicaragua canal schemers are
dickering with the Colombian congress.

INFANT SALVATION.

The Southern Presbyterian General
Assembly at Lexington, Va, yesterday
morning discussed at length the re-
ports of standing committees. The
afternoon session of the General As
sembly was devoted entirely to discus
sion of an overture from Tuscaloosa
Presbytery, touching on change in the
wording of the Confession of Faith re-
latiye to infant salvation, in which the
word "elect" was asked to be omitted
before infant. The committee recon-
mended a negative answer to the over
ture, and DIR. w. ii. Marques, of
Louisville, KY, offered the following
substitute ave recommend that the
request of the Presbytery Of Tuscaloosa
be answered in the negative, for the
reason that the section as thus amended
would not fully state and properly cor
relate the doctrines of grace as held by
our church in relation to the salvation
of infants" This was adopted by the
assembly with q few dissenting voices.
This, with some foot notes which DR..
Marques proposed to be inserted in the
Confession of Faith which were to be
sent to each presbytery in the assembly
for their future consideration and vote,
brought forth many eloquent appeals
for and against the same from some Of
the leading commissioners of the as
sembIy. The foot notes were as fol-
lows
First This language is not properly
construed as teaching that any infants
dying in infancy are not saved.
Second-The Holy Scripture, when
fairly interpreted, warrants us in be-
lieving that all infants WHO die in
infancy are included in the election Of
grace, and are regenerated and saved
by Christ through the Holy Spirit.
The motion to submit the two foot
notes to each presbytery for a vote was
lost.
