lon the Kishineff outrages. Besides the
president. the parties to the confer
Ience We're Simon Wolf. of WASHINGTON:
oscar s. Straus, and e y. Levi. of

The administration has been embar-
Irassed by the delay of the representa-
tives Of the s Mai Birth Society in

a draft Of the document was handed
ito President Roosevelt several weeks
lagO b" Mr.. Wolf. but 1t was decided

he closed as soon as possible as furth-
Ier delay in its consideration might
iproVe embarrassing to this govern

mas indicated by the adoption of Sc

PUNISH adequately the perpetrators of

those who i~nstigated them. it is Il
problem for the president and Secre-

To be UniOniZed.

Scranton, Pa. July 1t.-Grand Mas
ter Morrisey. Of the brotherhood Of
Railroad trainmen, telegraphed the 10
cal lodge of the brotherhood to accept
the application of the employees Of the
Laurel line, a third rail electric road
for membership in the brotherhood de-
spite the protest of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electrical
railroad employees that these men come
under its Jurisdiction. 4 boycott was
placed on the new rOal When it was
opened in May because the employees
were not unionized. The brotherhood
of trainment is not connected with the
American Federation OF Labor, like the
Amalgamated Association and there
fore is without representation in the
Central Labor Union. The consequence
is that although on Sunday next the
employees of the laurel line will be
u%niOniZed the O will continue to be
bOycotted as a n~on-uniOn road.
The fight is the opening skirmish of
what promises to be 4 bitter war be-
tween those two organizations for juriS-
diction over the employees OF the cleo
trio road.

summer and spring months. and the
growth OF children is much more rapid

perhaps the very greatest expositor Of

magical influence over masses OF men
and a power OF words the effect OF
which was more like that OF huge
masses Of water In tempest than any
thing else. Ills Midlothian speeches
made ore think less of river coming
down than OF the sea coming up. His
skill In constructing a difficult measure
was not even approached by any man
Of his time and perhaps was never ex
ceeded by any man at any time.
These and many other merits we
must freely allow him, but when the
final estimate of him is made many
traits must be introduced and not least
his extraordinary power Of believing
precisely what he wished to believe
