an understanding be had which would
return employees as agreed upon. This
they refused We have now offered a
final proposition, which, If rejected
will cause a cessation of all work on
Monday"
At the stock yards tonight the
packers are preparing for long
struggle. AS soon as all peace nego.
tiation were declared futile the heads
of the different departments in the
various plants were notified to hire
all the workmcn they could possibly
obtain.
From the progress made up to a
late hour tonight the indications are
that fully 1000 new men will have
been engaged by tomorrow nighr. II
Is the intention of the packers to
house these men inside the plants.
Warehouses are being filled with per-
manent hunks and kitchens to ae-
commodate the 5000 men who Ii is
claimed by the packers will be inside
the plants Monday morning.
The strikers met at their various
union headquarters during the after
noon and night and listened to ad,
dresses in which the general strike
which seems already a fixed program
for Monday was the only subject dis.
cussed.
Chief of Police O'Neill has called
N
to report az the stock yards station
tomorrow TO get acquainted with the
surroundings. ONeill said tonight
that the whole police force of Chica'
90 would be at the call of the stock
yards district Monday, and peace
maintained at any price.
Although the strikers were greatly
excited over the unsuccessful efforts
to settle the strike, there was little
violence throughout the distric.
The reply of the combined packers
to the ultimatum of the allied trades
was delivered late tonight They en-.
phatically deny that there has been
any violation OF the agreement on
llelI part anu llidA WhaAtNNf AibNbi'
followed the n,turn Of the men could
have been adjusted had the unions de.
sired TO do so. The packers say:
I'VE regard Donnellys action as en-
tirely unjustified in calling the second
strike on sensational misleading re-
ports within an average of thirty min
utes from the time the men were Or
dered to work. and before ii was pos.
sible for any considerable number to
have been placed, without making the
slightest effort to verify such reports

I'VE have a definite agreement with
our employees, the same having been
signed by their representatives and

out.

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-03-13
A NEW DEAL IN EUROPE.

A French statesman remarked at the
beginning Of this war that it might
lead TO new and startling groupings Of
the powers, says the Saturday Eve
ming Post. It may. indeed. For in
stance, consider the effect of complete
Russian defeat at sea upon the Fran
co-Russian alliance.
When that league was formed one of
its chief objects in the minds Of both
parties to it was the creation Of naval
power superior to the triple alliance
on the one hand, and able to make head
against England on the other. This
object seemed to be attained. The
fleets Of France and Russia were much
stro1ger than those of Germany, Aus
tria and Italy, and they appeared on
paper a fair match for the navy of
England.
But the practical elimination Of Rus
sia as naval power would completely
transform the situation. The German
navy alone will soon be equal to that of
France, so that the French feet plus
the debris of the Russian squadrons
would be no match for the forces of the
triple alliance. Still less would it b,
able to challenge British supremacy al
sea. Thus the Franco Russian al,
lance would lose a great part of 1T
reason for existence. There coult
hardly be a better illustration of the
futility of prophecy. Among all tht
statesmen who built up the two riva
European leagues, and who anxiously
sanvassed all the possibilities thai
might affect the position Of either o.

IL the Franco Russian alliance Is to

Some startling statistics in regard to
immigration have been presented to the
department Of congress and labor by
the lunacy commission Of this state,
and they call for some action by the
federal authorities, says the Brooklyn
Standard Union. BY these statistics 1t
appears fully so per cent of all those
who are in asylums or homes for the
feeble-minded in New Yory state are
of foreign birth. There are now 800
such immigrant patients in New York
asylums, and in view Of the inadequacy
Of the United States officials, the state
has asked the general government TO
relieve 1t of one-half this number.
With over 5000 immigrants landing
daily in New York from foreign coun-
tries a more thorough system could be
extended to the place of embarkation
of these immigrants. That 1t has been
practice in the past for foreign COM
munities to ship their feeble-mlnded or
pauper surplus to this conutry Is motor
ious, and the practice has only been
stopped In part. II must be stopped
altogether by more stringent laws and
stricter enforcement thereof.

THE DISEASE AND THE CURE.

In yesterdays Astorian appeared a
brief local news item which revealed a
case of Incredible parental depravity
Briefly, the facts We're as follows: An
Astorian. sitting in a vaudeville show
at Portland, chanced to glance up at
one Of the boxes, where sat man, his
wife and their two children the young
est aged about 2 years. To this tiny
tot the father was administering beer,
and the child soon felt the effects of
the liquor. to the apparent unaIloyed
joy OF the father.
The story is not new one, by any
means. but 1t is nevertheless one that
should bring to the attention of the Of
ficials Of the city of Portland the feel
ing that they are decidedly negligent in
their duty. Society has long since de-
creed that such parents as those who
sat in the box at the vaudeville show
are not fit to care for children, and has
made ample provision for punishment
in such cases-if to deprive a brute of
this fellows ilk of his children may
properly be called punishment. The
spectacle Of a 2-year-old babe, yet un-
able to artieulate, under the influence
Of liquor is indeed a sad one, and the
british parents should be made to feel
the full extent Of our rather lame law
governing such cases.
Portland is, after a m. CLOSED
town." Portland society has willed
that persons shall not frequent saloons
after the hour named. The law is
calculated to regulate the habits of
adults. and. while it is said saloons
-close at and open at 1915" the ex-
istence of the regulation indicates that
the municipality. complying with popu-
lar demand, has sought to raise the
moral standard by means of 1 O'clock
closing. The police religiously make
the rounds at the appointed hour and
see to it that the saloons are closed.
But how many policemen are to be
found watching for just such cases as
that reported by the Astorian who Wis
tied the vaudeville playhouse? Port
land can spend her hard earned money
to obliterate mole hills, but she has not
a dollar for the removal of her noun
tains. Portland is not alone at fault
in this respect; all the other cities OF
the country are qquite as palpably
lacking. The offense of the father Is
a matter Of small concern. compara-
lively stating the case. The essence
Of the situation lies in the failure Of the
police to detect the offender.
The disease has long existed in the
Land. 1t is time the cure should be
applied-and that cure is vigilance.

Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador at Washington. has himself
chiefly to blame for no inconsiderable
/ part of the popular sentiment In this
country against his government--a
sentiment which was at first pro-Jap-
an rather than anti Russian, says the
Post Inteiligencer,
His attitude toward the American
people and the American press has been
one of contemptuous and domineering
superiority. which has been shown not
only in his communiques with the state
department. and in his self-sought in
terviews with press agencies, but 1t has
also been made manifest generally and
more strongly in his private conversa-
tion.
In fact, not since Sir Lionel Sackville
West, as British minister. showed that
he was incapable OF understanding a
republic, and so was recalled, has there
been any representative of any foreign
power so distinctly persona non grata
to the American people-however well
come he may possibly be officIally--as
this small representative Of a great
empire.
Whoever runs may read in Wednes-
days and Thursdays papers the differ
ence between Count Cassinfs tactiess-
ness and Russian Official tact, his lee
turing. clustering style and the grace
full, easy concilitory manner Of the
Russian foreign office. This alone
shows his incompetence.
The truth is that no one in this
country is carrying a chip on his
shoulder for Russia to knock OF. as
Count Casslni seems to think. No one
wishes Russia TO be ruined; but in this
war the sympathies Of the American
people are with Japan for reasons
which are good and satisfactory, which
are founded on facts and common sense
such as Count Cassini can never appre-
ciate, and which he seeks to overcome
by telling US we ought TO be grateful to
his country.
There is no foreign ambassador at
our national capital today who under
stands this country so little as Count
Tassini, and his government would play
a master stroke IL it would recall him
and send instead even Buriat Lama.
