Costiveness, Palpitation of the Heart,
Heartburn, Water-brasb, Gnawing and
Burning Parns at the Pit of the Stomach,
Yellow Skin, Coated Tangue and Dis
agreeable Taste in the Mouth, Coming

SIX HUNDRED textile manuiactur-
ing establishments in Philadelphia,
giving work to 10000 hands, are idle
TODAY. the result ola strike. Thirty-njne
branches of the textile trade are affected.
The capital invested in the mills is esti-
mated at 500, 900, 900. and the daily loss
in wages will amount to 1925, 900. A
curious feature in connection with this
strike is the fact that the operatives are
not attempting to force an increase in
wages nor shorter hours at present pay,
but they ask a reduction OfhOurs a week
from sixty to ffty-fve, with corre-
spending reduction in pay, practically
striking for a reductionin wages to gain,
it is alleged increased opportunity for
education and more time for domestic
duties and recreation. The above but
illustrates the truth of the observation
that strike germs emanate from no parti-
cular grievance, and when once in the
system can be developed under any con-
ditions. There can be but little doubt
that there are times when those depend
ing upon their mechanical skill or Drawn
have genuine cause to sever their con-
nection from those who grind and OPP
press and make but human machines out
of their employees, but the fact also re-
mains that in strike epidemics if such
connections are not precipitated from
one cause they will be from another The
above seems to be case in point.

The Gainesville Horror.

Gainesville, Ga, June q. With the
fury of monster internal machine, the
tornado which yesterday visited Gaines
vile, dealt death and destruction.
Strong men, delicate women, and inno-
cent babes were clasped in its merciless
grasp, and crushed into eternity. The
exact number of dead is yet unknown.
Many say the number will reach 15O,
while others are of the opinion that it
will go to 200. The injured have been
dying every hour despite efforts of the

Suspension.

New York, June 2. Private dis
patches say that A. E. Ames and Co.,
bankers, and brokers, of Toronto, Ont.
have suspended. The house was the
most important brokerage house in
Toronto and was rated at 81, 900, 900.
The failure is believed here to have been
precipitated by the recent extreme
weakness in Canadian Pacific, Twin
City Rapid Transit, SlOss Sheffield, and
other stocks.
1t is expected the failure involves
several million dollars. Heavy clouds
have hung over the financial situation in
Canada for many weeks, and crash of
this nature, with probably more to fol-
low, has been expected. 1t is rumored
that bank is also in difficulties.

Forest Fires.

Bangor, Me-, June "A large forest
fire, which has been burning in Kendus-
keag since Saturday, has already burned
over 500 acres and is beyond control.
Rumford Falls, Me-, June 1.-The
forest fires at Bemis yesterday got be-
yond control of an army of nearly 200
fire-fghters and destroyed the Inter
national Paper Company's saw mill,
the railroad station, clearinghouse,
owned by the paper company, and a
dwelling house, causing loss of more
than $35, 900. The flames are sweeping
northward, and much valuable property
is threatened with destruction.

The Textile Strike

Philadelphia, June 1.-The great
tie-up of the textile industry in this city
is now even more complete than it was
yesterday. Conservative estimates Of
the total number of operatives who were
idle this morning is over 100, 900, affect.
ing close upon 600 mills. In the
Kensington district, the number of idle
hands is over $4,000. The manufac-
turers are reported at strike head
quarters as having very imperfect or
ganization and being far from unani-
nous as to what course to pursue.

UNDER THE new deal in the House of
Representatives, which will go into effect
when Congress reassemblesin November,
the House leaders, it is said, mean to as

They are determined that what they re-

can help themselves, and they believe
they will be in better position to ac-

THE RICHMOND RAILWAY STRIKE
The impending street-car strike is the
chief topic in Richmond. The meeting
of street-car employees is called for We'd
nesday night, when it is expected that
some of the national representatives of
the street car employees will be there to
advise in the matter. Many of the men
do not desire to strike. Officials Of the
company stated that the report had come
to them that certain councilmen were
abetting the men in their attitude and
promised them that if the strike came
the council would back them in bring
ing the Passenger and Power Company
t. terms by revoking the railroad charter
Officials of the company say that they
do not believe this movement is or will
become general among the councilmen
if strike is ordered. and that such talk
is done solely for political effect and is
misleading and unfair TO the men. The
franchise of the company, the officials
declare, will protect the corporation
from any such consequences. 1t pro-
vides that the company shall be required
to operate its lines unless prevented by
an act of God or other causes not reason
ably preventable.

BUT ONE bid for the removal OF the
wreck Of the United States battleshlp
Maine was offered at Havana yesterday.
1t was from a Cuban, who offered to
hand over to the Government all the
profits obtained from his disposal OF the
wreckage, after deducting the expense
of breaking the vessel up. The COM
mittee of Treasury employees appointed
to award the contract considered the
conditions of the bid 50 vague that they
agreed to leave the decision to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury. Representatives
of American metal concerns who were
present said they would have submitted
bids if the use of dynamite had not
been prohibited, but the Cuban officials
had guarded against the use Of this ex-
plosive, still having lingering desire to
show that the Maine was blown up from
the "inside."

SWINGING AROUND TO GORMAN.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond News-Leader says:

The washington correspondent Vi
the Richmond News-Leader says:
at begins to look as if the Virginia
Congressman will become almost unit
in supporting German to be the standard
bearer of the democracy in the campaign
of 1904. Heretofore, Representative
Rixey, of the Eighth district, has said
that he believed that the next nominee
ought to come from somewhere in the
middle West. He stated that he could
not name any one then who would
measure up TO the standard, but that if
such man could be found in that sec
ton. that would be the best locality for
him to hail from vote-getting standpoint.
Yesterday Mr.. Rixey said that he
had come to the conclusion that among
the eastern men so far mentioned for
the place Senator German was by far
the best man. He said that Germans
experience, his political sagacity, and
his qualities of leadership. not to say
anything of the national reputation he
enjoys, were elements in his favor and
that if an eastern man is to lead the
fight, that man ought to be German.
This view, coming from Mr.. Rixey, as
it does, is an important one on account
of the possible reflection of the views of
Mr.. Bryan it may contain. Last winter
the Lincoln statesman was in Washing
ton and took luncheon with Mr.. Rixey.
1t is thought that they discussed the ma
tional situation to a greater or less ex-
tent. Mr.. Rixey is great admirer of
Mr.. Bryan, and il is possible that Bryan
agreed that German was the best man if
an eastern man is to be chosen. With
this statement on the part of Mr.. Rixey,
the Virginia delegation stands as fol-
lows: For German, Rixey, Flood,
Hay, Rhea and Swanson; for Parker,
Maynard and Lamb for either one,
though probably preferring German,
Senator Martin not on record, Senator
Daniel, Representatives Jones, SOuthall
and Glass"

The nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt as
republican candidate for the presidency
in 1904 is assured. States representing
far more than majority Of the votes in
the national convention have already ex-
pressed themselves, either in convention
or through their State chairmen, in sup
port of the President, and only con-
tingency, in the opinion Of astute poll
teal judges, so remote as to be unworthy
of consideration, could wrest from Mr..
Roosevelt the nomination. Not only is
it asserted in uneduivocal terms that Mr..
Roosevelt will be nominated, but 1t IS
added that his nomination will be a rep
etition of President McKinley's in 1900
that it will be by reclamation. But
this does not mean an election by any
means. Mr.. Roosevelt is not by far the
strongest man in his party, and is known
to be uncertain and vacillating-not the
sort of man on whom the business inter
ests of the country would willingly pin
their faith-so if the democrats put up
the proper man and "get together" it is
confidently believed that they can win
next year.
