of the central labor unions of Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties, Pa, Tues

also had what they called half-hour's
"heart-to-heart talk" with him on the
situation in Colorado.
The petition recites in detail the
labor conditions in Colorado, and
calls on the President to institute an
investigation, with view of obtaining
a substantial ground for federal inter
ference. 1t demands that the right of
trial by jury shall be conserved for
all classes alike in Colorado.
The President read the petition
while the delegates were with him,
end the union men returned to the
town asserting that their visit had
been most satisfactory; that they had
accomplished everything they had
been sent to accomplish, and that the
President had promised to give the
petition his careful attention.
From another source 1t was learned
that the President assured them that
a proper and adequate investigation
was being carried on by the depart
ment of commerce and labor, and pro-
missed to consider their petition and
refer it to those In charge of that de-
partment.

PACIFIC SOLUTION
DISPELS WAR CLOUDS
St. Petersburg Government Promises
to Release Steamer Malacca.

London: Count Benckendorff, the
Russian Ambassador to Great Bril-
tain, has informed Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne that as soon as it has
been established that There is no
contraband of war on the steamer
Malacca, seized in the Red Sea by
the Russian volunteer fleet, the
steamer will be released.
The search is to be made in the
presence of Consuls from both coun-
tries in Suday Bay. Russia will not
accept the company's manifest on the
ground that fraud might have been
committed and shipments of contra
band substituted for goods declared
in the manifest.
Count Benckendorff has given the
heartiest assurances to Lord Lans-
downe of the desire of the Russian
Government to settle the dispute in
an amicable spirit, and what prom

complications seems to be clearing

fish Government regrets the delay in

unions. When he was turned away
the foreman started trouble that
speedily spread all over the yards.
The foreman claims rejection was un-
intentional and that all the strikers
were supposed to take their chances
of being employed within the time
limit.
AS soon as President Donnelly was
informed that all the men were not
being taken back he ordered the
strike on again and notified all his
agents in various cities to this
effect
The packers themselves had no
knowledge of trouble in the yards,
and as soon as they were notified,
requested a conference with the labor
leaders. This conference lasted all
afternoon, and resulted in the APP
pointment of a committee of ten to
define discrimination. It is gener-
ally believed that both sides will get
together and patch up the difference,
although the union men were in an
ugly mood Friday night, and will be
hard to manage.

London: Twenty guineas per cent

The authoritive assurances that the

the wildly alarmist views of the lead

Balfour's announcement to mean that
the incident remains unsettled.

china's River Population.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslies Weekly.
 China is a land of immense rivers and other waterways, and there is no coun- try in the world where boats are used so generally for all imaginable purposes. A large proportion of the Chinese people practically live on the water all the time. In the single port of Newchwang 20OO junks were registered last year. All this makes a large demand for sail-cloth, rop- Ing, and other accessories for small boats. The sea going junks use great quantities Of rope, especially of large sizes, instead of anchor chains. The fact that consid- erable quantities of American rope are being ordered for Manchuria-some for Chinese junks-indicates the possibilities of a trade in this line. If sales can be established throughout North China they may grow to wonderful proportions. If, in addition, it would be possible to get q part of the rope trade of southern and central China, the volume would be suf- ficient to keep several large plants in op- eration. Our consul at Newchang. MT. Henry B. Miller, says that If samples and prices are sent to him he will gladly give the matter attention and endeavor to introduce the goods.

A SUSPECT.
Umbrellas Have Caused Doubts
 Among Best of Friends.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Umbrellas and questions of their own ership give rise to many friendship straining suspicious, but seldom to any less we'll founded than that which fell upon an elderly and respected citizen o; Asbury Park when he made his quarterly pilgrimage to this city one day last week
 They have big winds up there on the coast, and it happened that every um- brella at home required repairs deemed beyond the capabilities of local talent, so he tied the whole stock of seven to- gether, and after crossing the ferry left them at a convenient shop, where they do these things cheaply, quickly and well.
 One of his calls was at his lawyer s office. Now, the old gentleman always carries an umbrella himself when he goes from home but it was with the others, and he was perfectly innocent when. on leaving the inner sanctum, he picked up the lawyers umbrella, which looked much like his own.
 He gained the hall when the woman stenographer who had watched the epi- sode with keenness acquired by years of experience in legal work, ran after him and rescued her employers property.
 She received his explanation. he thought, somewhat doubtfully, but he dismissed the matter from his mind un- til several hours later on the ferryboat he found himself pervously clutching his bundle of umbrellas under the glare of that same stenographer. Somehow he couldn'e get away from her. Every mo- tion of the crowd seemed to bring them closer together. On the train platform in Camden family party threw them face to face. Then she spoke in icy accents:

THE AGE OF CRAFT.
Mania For Gambling Seems to Possess
 the Race.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 We seem to be in the very midst of an age of graft of a reckless. shameful demoralizlng scramble for wealth at any cost or by any means. The mania for speculation, for gambling under all it's various names and guises, seems to be possessing all ranks and conditions of men, from the leaders of Wall street to the humblest employees of the government service. The speculatons in the Indian service, the stealngs in the postal de- partment and the still larger and more far-reaching conspiracy in connection with the disposition of public lands-all these things are only smptomatic of q general condition prevailing in American life to- day It is the game of grab" all around, the same in the composition and manage ment of so-called trusts as in the admin istration of public office If people can be robbed with impunlty on Wall street and the jugglers and squeezers of the stock markets can still bear the repu- tation of gentlemen, why shall not the men who have their opportunities for a rake-off on public contracts get their share of plunder and hold their places also In the Sunday school and the prayer meeting?
 For that matter, why should we con tinue to reprobate and send to Sing Sing our safe crackers and pick pockets, while we give a first rank in our most respect able society to men who crack safes and pick pockets by the thousand under the spacious but thin disguise of promoters and stock speculators? Let us not make fish of the wretched man who steals a loaf of bread to appease his hunger and fowl of the greater rascal ill broadcloath and a silk hat who hlches his millions from the credulous and gullible by some financial legerdemain which only serves to increase his reputation for smartness and adds to his social prestige

DEAD ANIM AIS.
Brought Back to Life By Scientific
 Methods.

From the New York Medical Journal
 Dr. Grille presented a short paper on this subject, in which he gave a summary of experimental data. When asphyxia caused failure of the heart and respira- tion, vigorous artificial respiration usual ly restored their function when adminis- tered within few seconds. It was effec- tive in an inverse ratio to the time that had elapsed; it was rarely effective after 40 seconds. By the addition of saline infu- sion a larger proportion of animals could be resuscitated after the lapse of a little longer time. Rhythmic pressure upon the heart either through the thorax by pres sure upon the ribs over the heart or direct pressure within the thorax was also an aid. The effect of the traumatism to the heart by the direct method partially coun- terbalanced the beneflt'from this measure. Nitroglycerin, alcohol and digitalis were useless; rapidly alternating the posture, head up. then head down. was not effec- tive. Suspending the animal head down and making rhythmcal pressure upon the heart was an effective method. This method gave the brain the advantage of gravity; 1t provided a moderate artificial circulation as we'll as respiration. It could be promptly applied. The addition of sa- line infusion increased the effectiveness of the method. Animals apparently dead for
  by the combined effect of artificial respira- tion, rhythmic pressure upon the heart and the infusion of adrenalin. Adrenalin, when injected directly into the chamber or into the wall of the heart, caused fibrillar contractons after which the heart and infusing. adrenaling the blood pressure could be raised even higher than the normal. Respiration in some instan- ces was partially restored.
 Eynp iff1ap te in xrb inf m was substituted for adrenaln, and which were unsuccessful. were promptly sue cessful on adding adrenalin. In a patient with crushed skull whose heart had ceas- ed beating for nine minutes, resuscitation of the heart for 31 minutes by this method was made. During the operation for the elevation of the depressed bone the patti ent moved his head.
 Another patient apparently dead from severe crushing of the base of the skull was partially resuscitated "A minutes af- ter the apparent death. The proofs of the apparent death were absence of respra- tion. absence of heart sound on stetho- scopic ausculation, and as a final proof, on opening the jugular vein there was absolutely no circulation. In this case the blood pressure rose to so nm. at one time: voluntary respiration appeared. These evidences of vital action continued for 34 minutes.
