Uncle Sam Is Not in the Business
of indicating China's
Neutrality.
WHICH DIsAPPOINTs THE RUSS
Conference Held by the Foreign Con-
suls at Shanghai.
Decision Is That China Must Main.
tain Her Own Neutrality-Hot
Speech by the Jap Rep
resentatiVe.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Consul Cen
eral Goodnow has cabled the state de
partment that the conference Of for
eign consuls at Shanghai, which ad.
journed yesterday morning, was re-
sumed in the afternoon. After a good
deal Of discussion no solution was Of
fered for the present condition of az
fairs, and it was suggested that each
consul report directly to his own gov
eminent asking what should be done,
If anything. Goodnow had no sug-
gestions to offer to the state depart
ment. He has been given instructions
which it is believed will prevent the
United States from being /entangled
in the settlement of the question of
China's neutrality at Shanghai.
We Are Not Interfering.
Goodnow had previously cabled the
state department telling Of the appear
ance of the Japanese vessel in the
harbor there. He made no mention
of the reported action of the United
States torpedo boat. 1t is asserted
positively at the navy department that
the United States fleet at Shanghai is
not charged with the protection of
Chinese neutrality by any special in
structions. No instructions have been
sent to Admiral Stirling to interfere
with the action of Japanese vessels.
Chauncey's Trip Was Not Hostile.
A press dispatch from Shanghai
quotes Rear Admiral Stirling as say
ing that the trip Of the torpedo boat
destroyer Chauncey from Woosung to
Shanghai Sunday was to carry dis
patches. Her movements had no con-
nection with the arrival of the Jap
anese torpedo boat destroyer, between
which and the Askold the Chauncey
is said to have stood to prevent anoth-
er Chefoo incident. The Japanese tor
pedo boat destroyer which entered the
harbor Sunday has departed with dis
patches for the Japanese fleet.
Russia Is Disappointed.
st. Petersburg, Aug. %, 2:15 a. m
The News that the navy depart
ment at Washington absolutely denies
that the United Stats. Marships at
Shanghai have received instructions to
assist in the protection of the neutrality
of China, or to in any way interfere
with the japanese warships, has put
something of damper on the feeling
of satisfaction with which the earlier
reports had been received.

The Loss from Strikes.

The statistics on this subject
show loss to the country from
strikes that is simply appalling.
We, who are SO familiar with the
word 'strike"k that we scarcely
give it a second glance while read
ing our papers, have not the slight
est conception of the vast amount
of money that has been lost through
labor disturbances.
Available figures show that in
the twenty years between 1881 and
1900 there were 22.793 strikes,
which cost the country in wages,
expenses and direct loss of trade
the enormous sum of 1896. 769, 392!
During the same period there were
1,OO5 lockouts, costing $72, 1919, 1S9,
making a total of $46S, 96S, ,5S1!
Here is loss of almost half
billion dollars figured from three
items only--that is. loss of wages,
assistance, or money advanced to
strikers by their sympathizers, and
loss to employers. 1t would be a
fair computation to estimate an
equal sum lost directly and indi-
rectly by the general public be-
cause of the strikes.
Total, one billion dollars in
twenty years November Wom-
ans Home Companion.

HADEN SCREENINGS.
Editor Teton Peak

Editor Teton Peak
Thinking a few items from Ha-
den might be of interest to your
many readers, | will endeavor to
send you a few OF the Teton Basin
Screenings.
Teton Basin was never III better
condition than at the present time
the crops and hay are fair consider
ing that this has been an off year
every where.
The coal mines are all running in
full blast, and coal in quantities
can be had at $500 per ton at the
various mines.
The sheepmen have shipped
about all their mutton and they all
say they got top prices and they
are all going to vote the Republl-
can ticket and keep times good.
Gwen a sheep man knows a good
thing when he sees it,.
Last week was Republican week
in Teton Basin. This Basin is
Republican, as is evidenced by the
enterprise and the prosperity OF the
people. They believe in encourag-
ing home production and sustaining
the infant industries which IS the
principal of the grand old party.
We haven't seen any Democrats
in the Basin yet, but we have had a
"nigger' show, which was about
as interesting as Democratic
meeting would be; neither of them
have ANYTHING new to offer, it is
always the same old tricks and
gags" rehashed. The altitude
must be too high for Democrats
here, they thrive better in warm
er climate than Idaho. We are
looking forward to some more Re
publican speakers like Jennings,
Little and Corey.
