Being asked for some details regarding future
tariff legislation Senator Aldrich said
The difficulties connected with tariff revis-

justnent must be scientific and just, the new
tariff will prove a failure. The protective prin-
ciple must be preserved If the country is to
continue prosperous. Extremes are TO be avoid

must be the result of careful and profound
animation. 1t is easy enough TO say reduce the

alterations that will not prove unjust, oppres-

ANOTHER STRIKE IMMINENT.
Soft Coal Miner. Of Somerset Comfy.
Pa, and Operators Disagree
Regarding Wage Scale.

Indianapolis, Ind, June s.-William
B. Wilson, secretary Of the United
Mine Workers of America, said Sat-
urday that strike would probably
be called for. the soft coal miners of
Somerset county, Pa, where strike
has been on among the miners of
the Merchants Coal company on ac-
count of refusal of the company to
pay the scale. The Merchants Coal
company called meeting Of the
operators of the district and an
nounced that unless the other opera
tors agreed to make a cut of be-
tween eight to ten per cent. SO as to
equal the scale that was offered by
the Merchants company. the COM
pany would raise the price of pick
work beyond the reach of the other
operators. The other operators
agreed to cut their scale to what had
been offered by the Merchants COM
pany. Mr.. Wilson says the miners
will not consent to such a cut and
that. as soon as it is announced the
5000 or 1000 men that are employed
in the district will quit work.

HISTORIC OLD DRUM |.
0ae Il the Nest Valuable Relics
. In the Unitsd States.
Il Has sounAeA the Call e Arns u
Three American wars, and
Was, Ori0inally Captured
1ron anU DratlsA.

/ A visitor at New Bedford, Mass,
viewing the original of the accom-
panying picture, and not knowing its
history, would hardly consider it the
priceless treasure it is, or under
stand the veneration in which it is
held. The drum is the property of
the Richard A. Pierce post, G. A. R.,
of New Bedford, and besides being
the most treasured possession of the
post, is one of the most valuable rel
les in the United States.
Although now its venerable sides
are cracked and its decorations much
the worse for wear, the old drum
still resounds to the touch with all
the vigor and clearness of tone it did
in the days of the revolution. Its
great historical value lies in the fact
that it saw service during these early
days of strife and also later on.
The members Of the post have had
the instrument mounted on a silver
plate, bearing the following inscrip-
ton: "This British drum was cap
tured at Bunker Hill, and assigned
by lot to Levi Smith, drummer in
the continental army. Descended to
his son, Israel Smith, soldier of the
war of 1912. Descended to his son,
Israel Smith, leader of the band of
the Thirty-second Massachusetts in
fantry, the headquarters band which
marched with Sherman from Atlanta
to the sea in 1864, and presented by
him to R. A. Pierce post, No. 100, de-
partment Of Massachusetts, g. A. R.,
in 1885,"
The above inscription gives the
facts in connection with the drum,
but do not tell the interesting story.
1t was at the time that the British
soldiers first landed on these shores
to subdue the colonial rebels that the
instrument also came over, carried
by young English redcoat. who
hoped to beat ON it the victorious adj
vance Of the British soldiers. In
stead, it fell into the very hands of

the rebels 1t would have helped to
down. It was at the battle Of Bunk
er Hill that the English drummer
boy carrying it was shot to death,
and a revolutionary soldier managed
to obtain possession Of 1t, keeping it
with him when he, with his comrades,
was finally forced to ! retreat from
the hill. a9 -
Israel Smith, the grandsire of Levi
Smith, the former owner of the
drum, who presented it to the post,
was the drummer boy in the famous
Rhode Island company who stood
the charge at Bunker Hill. later,
when the soldiers drew lots over the
drum, young Smith became the for
tunate possessor of the prize. 1t was
In dilapidated condition, more than
one bullet having pierced its sides,
but young Smith fxed 1t up and beat
many lusty charge on it before the
war was over.
For the 80 years following the war
the drum of Bunker Hill rested in
peace in Smiths house. When the
war Of 1912 began he presented it to
his eldest son Israel, who marched
away to battle with it, and through
it's inspiring strains it helped to
bring about another victory. Again
it was stored away, and only dust
and cobwebs were it's companions un-
til it became the possession Of the
grandson, Israel, Jr.
For long time after the death
Of the elder Smith, the drum, in the
possession of his oldest son, was hid
den away. The mother Of Israel, Jr.,
remembering her husbands fondness
for the relic, hunted up its where
abouts, and heard it had been LETT in
the care Of a friend of her sons in
Providence, R. /. She impressed up
ON her son the value OF the instru-
ment, and he secured possession of
It.
Il For years various historical socie-
ties have endeavored to secure the
relic, but Mr.. Smith has always re-
fused to part with 1t, and it was only
after his wife died and his home was
broken up, that he decided to intrust
it to the care of the r. A. Pierce post,
at New Bedford, Of which he is a
member.
Except for new drum heads. it is
in the same condition as when in his
fathers possession.
There are many old revolutionary
relics scattered over this country,
which have been handed down from
generation to generation. If they could
be gathered together into one mu-
scum, and be preserved, they would be
of even greater interest in the future
than they have been in the past. It
is such mementoes as these that serve
to instill lessons Of patriotism in the
young.

Parliament opened.

Cape Town June 6.-The governor Of
Cape Colony, Sir Walter Hely-Hutchin-
son, opened parliament Friday. In his
speech he said he hoped to be able to
relax the remaining restrictions on
liberty, in consequence Of the success
which had attended the policy Of peace
and reconciliation. All the races were
settling down to ordinary life. The
present session was called to ratify the
customs convention drawn up at
Bloemfontein and to sanction the con-
struction of several new railroads.
