A report was current tonight that

rumor. these two firms would make a
settlement with the unions and when
they open for business it would be
with full force of union men. None
of the ofiicials of either of these COM
panies would confirm or deny the re-

GRAND DUKE PRESIDED.
Count Lamsdorf Took Leading Part In
the Council.

the CRnucht.
St. Petersburg, July 24.-Grand Duke
Alexis presided at to-day's council
which Count Lamsdorf. the foreign
secretary and Vice Admiral Avellan,
chief of the Admiralty Department,
and other high naval officers attended.
The result of the conference re-
moves all doubts concerning the pres
ent attitude of Russia with regard to
the volunteer feet. The validity of the
view expressed in the British note re-
gardlng the irregularity of the posi-
ton of the vessels was so far admit
ted that the Council agreed to waive
the right of search.
After a long discussion in which
Count Lamsdorff took a leading part,
II was decided that the present status
of the volunteer fleet was not suffi-
GENTLY well defined, according to In
ternational law to render further
searches and seizures advisable. and
that therefore Russia in the interest
of friendly relations with the Powers
should withdraw the authority given
the volunteer fleet in this respect.

New York. July 24.-To all outward
appearances, there Is perfect harmony
between the big packers and their EN-
ployes in this city.
The killing of cattle went on as
usual during the five Sunday work

berger plant and that of the United

ever. and the situation in this city de-
Ponds on the outcome of the conference
at Chicago. Although H. L. Echet-
berger. the general organizer of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen has repeatedly asserted that
the big packers in this city were will
ing to conform to the recent Chicago
agreement regardless OF what may be
done at any future conference in Chi
cago. it is said by the cattle butchers
that If the Chicago leaders order them
out, they will leave the plants in which
case shut downs will be necessary.

THE RIGHT WAY TO WALK.
Preservation of Good Figure De- rends to Some Extent on This
 A New Theory.

A friend who leads a very active life has theory that the preser. vation of a good figure depends to some extent on the manner of walking, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Many people, she says, as they advance in years allow themselves to walk heavily and without elasticity, so that the whole weight rests on the lower part of the limbs at every step, the only effect of exercise being weariness of the legs and feet. In stead of this his body should be held erect and poised so as to have a perfect balance; in this way the muscles are braced and strength ened throughout, the lungs must of necessity be we'll expanded, and it seems quite reasonable to sup pose that the tendency to increase of weight may be checked. At all events a lighter step and brisker and more enjoyable manner of walking can be kept up, and that in itself is a very great gain.

He made a brief at. tempt to regain it, but gave it up and in a joking way said: Keep it to pay the minister with"
 The years went by and the gold en eagle was entirely forgotten by the young man. On the day when the marriage ceremony was to take place, which was the opening of the present season, the bride-to- be produced the identical gold piece and the minister received it for his fee.-Kennebec Journal.

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
Men Who Were Born in One Section and Represent Another at
 Washington.

There are few men in congress who are natives of southern states, but who have moved north and represent northern constit- uencies, says the Washington Post. There is but one man who is a native of a northern state who have been elected from the south, and in this case he comes from border state. Very many men born in eastern states are now representing western states. This is very natural, as the tide of immigration has been from east to west, and the west has been peopled by the east.
 It is a rare thing, however, to find man in congress from the east who was born in the west. But there are some. Fowler, of New Jersey, and Greene, of Mas sachusetts, are natives of Illinois. Perkins, of New York, was born in Wisconsin. Hearst, of New York, l is native of California.
 The men who were born in the south and now represent northern constituents are Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, who was born in North Carolina; Senator Cullom, of Illinois, native of Kentucky, 1, a border state, however; Senator Newlands, of Nevada, a native of Mississippi; Speaker Cannon, of Illinois, and Representative Dix on, of Montana, and Shober, of New York, were born in North Carolina; Representative Mar shall of North Dakota, is native of Missouri. West Virginia is not always counted a southern state, and the fact that her two senators are Ohio born scarcely makes the exception to the rule that few northern men are sent to congress from the south.
