NO NEWS OF MISSING JACKSON.
Strain Telling on His Father--Wo.
mans Silence.

No news has as yet been received of the
missing midshipman, Robert Allen Jackson
of the Missouri who disappeared shortly
before the North Atlantic squadron sailed
from New York. His father, d. n. Jackson
Of Petersburg. Va, spent yesterday In New
York awaiting tidngs. and the strain is be-
ginning to tell on him, his appearance hav-
ing become haggard.
The elder Jackson, who is a representative
in Virginia of the Standard Oil Company
and reputed to be well to do, has promised
to reward literally the detective who finds
his SON and the local police have renewed
their efforts to find the midshipman as re-
suit of hints from Mr.. Jackson to a similar
effect. 1t is understood that the govern
ment secret service men are also searching.
Although yesterday Mr.. Jackson was the
picture of despair, he said he had not given

shares with the police the opinion that Olga

I.nce of Miss Maxwell continues. When
visited at her apartments yesterday the
woman was evasive in her statements. AL
though the forenoon was well advanced. she
had not yet risen when caller arrived.
She seemed much piqued at being ques-
toned II don't know anything about 1t,
she said: II left Jackson in Boston sew
eral DAYS ago. He said he was going home.
He talked about having months leave.
She concluded the interview by saying, with
dignity: Il won't tell you any more about

delightful memory of our last moments in

Cotton Operatives Strike Likely.

The threatened strike of British cotton
oneratives seems to be unavoidable. Rep
resentatives of the Federation of Master
Summers met in Manchester yesterday and
decided to appeal to all employers to unan-
imously resist the demand of the operatives
for per cent increase in wages on the
ground that the condition of the industry
does not warrant an advance. The fedora
ton embraces 400 firms, working about
81 coo, 600 spindles. Meanwhile the employ
ers at Bolton have separately decided not
only to refuse an increase, but to reduce
the present wages ) per cent. The strike.
when ii comes. will be one of the largest
that has ever occurred. 1t will disorganize
the entire trade and cause great suffering,
especially as 1t will follow the long period
In 1904 when the mills ran on half time
to restrict production, with. the object of
defeating the aims of American cotton
spectators.

Massac husetts avenue also loved Old Sam,
for he was as gentle as lamb and seemed
to enjoy the visits of his friends who came
to pet him and bring him dainties That
the animal appreciated these visits was
shown by the bobbing up and down of his
head and his whinnies, in which. in the
equine language, he no doubt expressed
his satisfaction when the little girls and
boys and often those of larger growth,
went to his stall to pet him.

STUDY AMONG AZTEC RUINS.
Striking illustrations of What Diaz is

From the Metropolitan
Cholula is desolate little village of
1900 or 5000 inhabitants. greatly fallen

the conquest it was second only in impor-
lance to Tenochtitlan. And here is the ia
nous ancient pyramid-so old that when,
centuries ago, the wandering Aztecs first
took possession of the land ages had
thrown veil over its history, and its ORR
gin was as much a mystery to them as II
remains to us today.
1t was In Cholula that the Fair God Quet-
Zalcoatl paused on his journey to the coast
and taught the people the art of govern
ment and the methods of civilization. Here
after twenty years he babe farewell to
them and passed to the coast, where, en-
barking in his magic boat of serpent skins,
he sailed mysteriously away to an unknown
shore promising that some day he would
return to guide and direct the people again
in the paths of wisdom.
Quetzalcoatl did not return but here, at
the top of the venerable pyramid, where
once stood a temple dedicated to his honor,
now stands a Christian church. and in the
sacristy of this church, seated on little

JOHN MITCHELL.
Estimate Of the Man by a Wall Stree
Writer.

An estimate of John Mitchell, president
of the United Mine Workers, prepared by
a Wall street writer has been received by
President Samuel Gompers Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. Mr.. Gompers ia
reserving his opinion of the estimate. which
follows:
John Mitchell, commander-in- chief of
the coal miners hastens to deny the charge
that he is organizing his forces for a gen.
eral strike next April. when contracts ex-
pire In the anthracite and bituminous re-
gions Mr.. Mitchell stands so exceedingly
straight in this strike matter that he bends
back. He asserverates in a great variety
Of language that he is for peace first. last
and all the time. and that the labor union
efforts put forth during the last year and
now rebuilding. are solely for harmony.
HIS talks for Wall street consumption are
entirely different from those he has hand
ed to the miners in Pennsylvania and Else
where. To them Mr.. Mitchell talks of the
necessity of organization and of the ..rea-
ton of an immense cash defense fund the
central point of his argument being that
this money may be and in fact Is likely 10
be needed in the battel royal with the mine
owners over the question of wages To
Wall street he says that no extraordinary
unioniZing work is being done in the coal
fields but that the miners are lust natur-
ally coming together and preparing them
selves against emergencies which might
arise incident to an adjustment of wages
next spring His interviews nevertheless.
conceal a series of covert threats and his
peace protestations may be compared to
Mr.. Roosevelt's dOve-like messages in con-
nection with the imperative necessity for
the upbuilding of a huge navy. Mr.. Roose-
Welt and Mr.. Mitchell have one notion in
common. They think that the best way to
preserve peace is to be ready at all times
to put up HI of fight The president
of the coal miners federation is merely
fashioning big stick to carry with him
to his conferences with the mine owners
when the time arrives for considering a
wage schedule for the next three or FIVE
years. IL Mr. Mitchelfs activities had been
turned to religion instead of the industries
he would by this time have been at least
an archbishop He is a diplomat with a
full knowledge of the efficacy of force as a
compelling power. The big stick certainly
commands respect. 1t serves a useful pur-
pose in labor crises as well in interna-
tional politics."
