Senator Foster Of Louisiana.

The news Of the action of Senator Foster
of Louisiana in preventing a lynching in
his parish. that of st. Mary's. was not sur
prisng to many people in this city who
know the senator we'll Senator Foster
has a reputation for quiet and unostenta-
tious courage. that has been sustained on
occasions when many a man would have
faltered.
The report of Senator Fosters courageous
course in stopping lynching in St. Mary's
parish Is to the effect that, becoming in
formed of a plot to lynch a negro who had
attempted an assault on the wife of a
planter in his parish, he called on Judges
Allen and Smith Of that parish and the
three proceeded to the Jail. 1t under
stood that the lynchers would show up at
midnight They were on time and 400 of
them were determined to string the culprit
nm on short notice. not expecting more
than a formal resistance. Then the only
man who could have controlled that mob
aupeared at the window of the jail 1t was
Foster who was known personally to every
one there. In his quiet manner he told
the members of the mob that he
didn't want to see the fair name of
ST. Marys county stained with an
other lynching. and assured them that
there would I've prompt action by the court,
that a jury would be called on the follow
ing day and there should be no delay in
melting out justice to the brute who had
attacked the wife of their neighbor and
friend He assured them that the law was
ample to deal with the case. Then they
went home depending upon his word.
Senator Foster won his first laurels in a
prominent way when he declared that the
Louisiana lottery should be discontinued
as it was blot on the good name of his
state It was a long fight but he was firm
and systematic in his course of opposition
He led the fight against the lottery in the
legislature and destroyed it. AS result of
that signal victory he was twice elected
governor of the state, and after eight years
in the gubernatorial chair was made SEN
ator by the unanimous vote of the legisla-
ture.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 14.-An effort is
being made here by the American Fedora
ton of Labor to Organize" the plant Of
D. NJ. Parry. 1t is understood that Parry's
attitude TO labor organizations has made
the chief officials of the Federation bitter
toward him, and efforts will be made to
form a union in his establishment as a
matter of retaliation. Great secrecy is
being maintained concerning the matter,
but it is said that President Gompers has
already issued an order to that effect and
that organizers are already at work.
John Feltman, local organizer of the
Central Labor Union, was asked about
the matter and said
Il will not answer that. II would be
very foolish for me to show my hand now
l will not give out anything until the grand
climax comes, and then every one will
know what we have done"

PEKIN, July I'm. Lessar. the Russian
Minister returned to-day from Port Arthur
where he went to attend conference
summoned by Gen. Kouropatkin, Russian
Minister of War. Although Japanese
dispatches say that the conference decided
upon peaceable solution of the Manchurian
question, there is no enlightenment here
as to whether war or peace will result in
Manchuria.
The Yalu question is assuming greater
importance, AS the Coreans complain that
the Russians have threatened to invest
the east bank of the Yalu River with troops
if the town of VIII is opened to trade. as
the Coreans want to open it with China
consent. Russia has one policy for both
banks Of the Yalu, which the Japanese
regard AZ Of vital Importance. 1t is UNDER
stood that Japan will regard further activity
in the construction of so-called commercial
works at the mouth of the Yalu River as
a casus belli.

The strikers made no attempt TO conceal
their weapons. They marched to the

ordered all to quit. The summons was
obeyed. In twenty minutes the suspension
was complete. At this point some of the

PoTrsvILLE, Pa, July l4.-There ia m
doubt that the approaching SchuylkilI
county Democratic convention will call
upon the Democrats Of Pennsylvania to
unite in presenting the name OF Judge
Gray OF Delaware to the party at large as
an available candidate for President.
For the first time since 1892 local party
leaders here are united on national stand
ard bearer. Olney, Parker and Hill have
their admirers, but the popularity OF Judge
Gray in the coal region towns, which com
prise three -fourths of the voting popula-
ton of the county, has resulted in tacit
understanding to give the Delaware
jurist the unanimous Endorsement OF this
county. This is regarded as good practical
politics by the candidates for county offices
this year, as it promises to bring enthusiasm
and unity, which have been lacking for
wears, into the Democratic canvass.

rllmored that in Gaze most of the unions
have not signed the agreement by that
time, individual agreements may be made
between members of the association and

The influence which Sam Parks of the
Housesmiths' Union is still able to exert
on his union has disconnected the plans
of the employers, who fully expected that
the faction of the union which wants to go
to work would carry the union The en-
ployers now hope that the friendly faction
among the housesmiths may be strong
enough to form separate union Of iron
workers and join with other unions in
forming n separate Board OF Building
Trades under a new name, TO be composed
Of unions which are willing to accept the
arbitration agreement.

Layers Union. one of the four expelled
by the Board Of Building Trades, said re-
garding the possibility of new board of
which his union will be part:
I'VE will return every compliment that
Parks and his kind may give us. The

LONDON. July l4.-Several Americans
took part to-day in the Bass competition

District of Columbia, won the fourth prize

spectivey out of possible 100.
Many Of the British marksmen complain
of the open sights on the Lee-Enield rife
saying that for match shooting they do not
compare with the peep sight, Cook, how
ever, thinks that tho British shooters at
tach exaggerated Importance TO peep sights.
Believing that more depends on the man
than On the rife, he does not attribute such
super iority to the Krag over the lee
Enfield as some assert there Is
