United Brotherhood Of Railway Employees
and the American Labor union.
It is specifically charged that the strike
Of railway employees on the Canadian Pa
cific railroad, which began in February
last year, was brought about by the head
quarters Of the organization at San Fran
cisco, while the strikes of the coal miners
this year were due to another foreign or
ganization, the Western Federation OF
Miners, with headquarters at Denver.
With respect to the Canadian Pacific
railway strike, it was established that
the chief organizer in Canada Of the
United Brotherhood, while acting in this
capacity, had sold his services, along with
confidential letters received from the pres
ident Of the order, to the railway compa-
ny, and had acted as one Of their secret
service men, while he still continued to
be the chief executive officer Of the order
for the dominion. George Estes, presi-
dent Of the order, exercised an all but
complete control over the movement Of
the striking forces and directed the entire
strike.
The report details at length attempts
to tie up the steamship service of the
Canadian Pacific railway on the Pacific
and the Kootenai lakes, to bring about a
stoppage in the supply Of coal and to eff
feet a gigantic boycott in connection with
the products of all concerns which even
remotely might be brought into business
connection with the Canadian Pacific rail-
way in the interests of American rail-
ways and combines.

washington, Aug 22.-The census
bureau has published in a bulletin, a dis
oussion Of the increase Of the population
In the United States as shown by the
census of 1900. The principal results Of
the study of these figures are summar-
lied as follows:
The increase in the population Of con-
tinental United States, that is, the United
States exclusive Of Alaska and the re-
cent insular accessions, Is 13046,961, or
POT per cent Only one country, Argen-
tina, has shown by the most recent fig
ures a more rapid rate Of growth
Among the five main divisions Of con-
tinental United States the highest rate
Of increase is found in the western divis-
ion and the lowest rate in the north cen
trail.
In the decade from 1890 to 1900, for the
first time In our national history, the
southern states increased faster than the
northern. East of the Mississippi, how
ever, the northern states as group have
grown in the last ten years somewhat
more rapidly than the southern; but west
Of that river the southern states have in
creased almost two and one-half times as
rapidly as the northern, and it is this
fact which makes the growth of the
south as q whole exceed that Of the north
The region west Of the Mississippi river
is still Increasing faster than east Of It.,
but the difference between the rates of
growth In the two regions, during 1890
to 1900, was little more than one-f1fth of
what it was from 1880 to $780,

MAY SUBMIT IT
TO HAGUE COURT
It Is Hinted That the Canal Question
Will Be Submitted
There.
Colombia Said to Have Gone Too
Far to Be Permitted to
Back Out.

From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Aug. 22.-While waiting
for the republic of Colombia to make up
its mind, Secretary Hay negotiated
treaties with Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
for building a canal by that route. These
treaties are completed so far as the ap-
prevail Of Nicaragua and Costa RIGA are
concerned; they only await the signature
Of the secretary Of state and the APPROX
al of the United States senate.
But there is the difficulty. President
Roosevelt hesitates to have the canal
project again brought before congress-
It was hard enough to get the senate's
approval Of the Spooner act. To fight
the battle all over again, and that Is
what it would amount to if the treaties
are sumbitted once more, would be to
open up the whole controversy, and that
would likely be the end Of the canal for
some years at any rate.
President Roosevelt Is ardently in ia
vor Of the canal. He believes it should
be built, and hoped to have It's construc-
ton one Of the achievements of his ad-
ministration. He has not become par
tizan Of either Of the routes, believing
that either Is feasible, and that the i'm
portant thing is make a choice and go
to work. ..
1t IS understood that the administra-
ton has not given up hope that the canal
will be built at Panama Without any
lingo plan which depends upon revolu-
ton, 1t is believed that there are still
ways In which the canal can be built,
and this without further consideration by
our congress or the congress at Bogota.
The state department Is in possession
Of al 1.-The facts relative to inducements
which have been held forth by Colombia.
to persuade the United States to build
the canal, and it is strongly intimated
by the department that the matter has
gone too far already for the republic Of
Colombia to back out. Even the plea
of constitutional impotency may not save
a nation from the charge Of playing fast
and loose. 1t would not be surprising If
some radical steps were taken in the near
future by President Roosevelt, and this
step might be the construction of the
canal, and the reference Of disputes to
the arbitration court at The Hague.

to Do It.
Either He or Congress Must Deal

New York Tribune Shows That Sec

Has Been Correct.

Washington, Aug Cat is entirely
probable that President Roosevelt will ap
point special commissioners or commits
sioners to investigate the condition in In
dian territory. The president Will take
personal charge of it because the members
of the Dawes commission are his APP
pointees, and Secretly Hitchcock natural
ly feels a delicacy in taking any steps
that will involve persons who, while nom
inally under his jurisdiction, are really
responsible to the president.
The New York Tribune to-day said
that evidence of the attitude of Secretary
Hitchcock toward the officials mentioned
in the Brosius report is furnished in the
case Of Guy P. Cobb, the heaviest stock
holder in the Tribal Developments COM
pany, who was formerly an employe of the
department in the Indian territory.
He asked the department whether 1t
would be incompatible with the public in
terests for him to remain In the govern
ment service and invest In this concern.
The secretary advised him that it would
and he Immediately resigned. The
Tribune article says further:
with regard to other officials men
toned in the Brosius report, most of them
are members Of the Dawes commission,
and only the president or congress can
interrogate with regard to their various
enterprise. It is matter Of record,
however, that some years ago Secretary
Hitchcock brought to the attention of the
president the delicacy Of Tans Bixby's po-
sition as chairman Of the Dawes commits
sion because Of Mr.. Bixby's varied inter-
ests." ., .,. b.. ..... s. 49,
In view Of the different authorities in
volved and the fact that report from any
subordinate Of the department Of the in
terror would fail to carry with it the
weight of one made by an interested out
slider of known ability and probity, 1t IS
believed that President Roosevelt will
promptly appoint such commissioner with
authority to probe these scandals to the
bottom and report directly to him.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 22.-The royal labor

made a sensational report, In which it
excoriates the United States labor leaders
as unprincipled men, many Of whom are
both in the employ Of the corporations and
paid by the union workmen, and declares
that all the great strikes Of the past few
years in Canada have been brought about
for their personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Spe-

which are secret, political organizations,
and which have no right to the term of

OLD COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT
Has Been in the Business for Fifty
Years,

San Francisco, Aug. 32.-United States
secret service agents have secured the
conviction In the United States district
court of two out of a gang of counter
letters recently arrested, both prisoners
pleading guilty One OF them is George
Brown, alias r. r. Lamber, who has been
engaged in counterfeiting for the greater
part Of fifty years past, having been jailed
repeatedly for this offense.
He is now so years Of age and it is not
probable that he will live to complete the
term Of imprisonment to which he will
now be sentenced. He Is at present in a
hospital here under guard. The rest Of
the men on trial are Greeks under indict-
ment for conspiring to make counterfeit
S. and $40 coins.
