close to President Mitchell Of the mine

After . Lively Row.

After . Lively Row.
COL Tazewell Elicit, As years old, former
Congressman from Virginia, who lives
at the Calumet Club, went to the Arena,
at Thirty-first street near Broadway, about
O'Clock yesterday evening for dinner. An
argument took place between Col. Elicit
and WAITER and the Colonel knocked the
waiter down. The Colonel who is a big
man, soon found that he had to contend
with the entire force OF the Arena; and the
result was that after smashing everything
around him he landed on the sidewalk,
still full of fight.
Traffic Squad Cop Flood came along and
put the Colonel under arrest and started
with his prisoner for the traffic station at
Twenty-seventh street near Fifth avenue.
In front of the Hotel Breslin, at Twenty
ninth street and Broadway, the Colonel
banged Flood on the nose and knocked him
down.
A mixup followed, and Flood was getting
decidedly the worst of it when Policemen
O'Neil, Reardon and DAILY came to his
rescue Rem embering Commissioner
McAdoo's order not to use clubs, they
handed them to the bystanders and set
out to untangle Flood and the Colonel.
A patrol wagon was called, and the Colonel
was taken to the Tenderloin station house,
charged with disorderly conduct.
When the police went to get their clubs
back it was found that one pedestrian
had made of with. o Wells stick for souve-
mir.
At the station house the Colonel abeo-
lutely refused to be searched, and it re-
ouired some Of the reserves to remove his
yaluables

CAIN FIRST STRIKER. SAYS BAER.
Killed His Brother Because He Was the
More PrOSDerOua,

DENVER, COL, Aug. 2s.-George F. Baer,
head OF the Reading coal and railway
interests, who Is here on his way home
from the Pacific Coast, said to-day:
"Cain was the first striker and he killed
Abel because Abel was the more prosper
GUS fellow"
Mr.. Baer was asked II he had any ideas
upon how strikes would be settled in the
future.
mo, nor has anybody else," returned
Mr.. Baer. Strikes began with Genesis.
They originated at the beginning Of the
world" Then he made the remark quoted
above.
"Those writer's on the subject Of strike
in the magazines, books and newspapers
have had no actual experience, or they
would not be so ready to propose the cries
for the settlement Of strikes. They are
dreamers.
Strikes are susceptible to settlement
only upon such bases as the circumstances
and conditions involved in them dictate
Men who have no practical knowledge
Of the subject are idealstic. Their theories
are worthless"
Mr.. Baer declared that the 4open shop"
system was the only guarantee for indus
trial peace and prosperity. Mr.. Baer was
asked II he was correctly reported during
the anthracite coal strike, when he was
quoted in an interview as saying when re-
ferring to his position in that struggle that
he was the man into whose hands God in
His infinite wisdom had placed the anthra-
cite coal fields.
Mr.. Baer looked serious; and thought
deeply some moments before answering.
Then he said:
-Of course was not correctly reported.
I never dreamed Of saying such a thing.
But don't deny that at this time. I never
permitted myself to deny it. What was
the use? One in my position could not
have answered such an absurdity, and when
sensational press was ringing with the
words placed in my mouth my denial would
have had little weight with the people
who accepted i as the truth"

PRESIDENTS LAST EFFORT. /.
His Message to the Car . Final Resere
fer Ending tho war.


OYSTER BAY, Aug. 23.-President Roose-
welt still entertains hope OF peace. The
delay in the negotiations at Portsmouth h
construed here a. the best sign that the
Presidents endeavors to prevent the failure
effect.
A long code message is being received at
the executive Offices tonight from AM
bassador Meyer, who bad an audience with
the Gar to-day.
1t is the belief here tonight that tho
Cars reply gives no hope that Russia
will recede from her position on the dis
puted points.
One reason. it Is supposed, that the peace
negotiations at Portsmouth have been 40
hating In the past IL that Mr.. White h senior
envoy. and Mr.,W itte Is we'll known to b
on the side Of peace, even though he re-
iterates the mot one oopeck" statement.
But Mr.. White has enemies at home and
when be was named "a senior envoy hs
determined that IL he made peace Il would
be by direct orders from tho Car, so that
none Of his enemies could In any way CO.
cuse him Of working to Russia's disad.
vantage.
The President, 1t Is believed, hopes that
after sufficient amount Of the preliminary
fencing at Portsmouth the Gar will send
some order to empower Mr.. Witte to end
matters and conclude treaty. la
Whether the President intends to make
any further move In the direction Of peace
Is extremely doubtful. The President, It 10
believed, has done all that he could properly
do in that direction. The rest now lis with

Church.
The church was crowded to the doors.
Every minute or two a train on the Pennsyl-

speaker would be drowned. Finally Father
John Wins. director for the United States
of the Society Of the Holy Childhood. arose
and left the church. A few minutes after
ward the passing Of trains ceased and the
Bishop continued without further inter-
ruption.
Investigation showed that Father John
had gone to the railroad tracks. where he
took his position and with folded arms
defied any engineer to run over him. None
OF them dared and he remained there until
the seryioe was finished.

Talk Of Radical Change Follow the Ben

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-There is strong
possibility that the President will soon
take action on the question which has been
before the Navy Department for a long
time as to the advisability Of the reestablish-
ment Of the Corps Of Engineers in the navy.
1t is oontended that the accident on the
Bennington has shown the necessity for the
return to the old plan, when the duties OF
engineer officers were apart from those OF

Secretary Bonaparte, acting under in
structions from the President, will prepare
a report on the matter within few days.

Some insight into the Russian attitude
has been given by the order Of the Gear

only in degree-tle tendency has been toward a lower scale of man hood; and it is a remarkable fact that ill the case of the natives and whites where contact resulted in open war the consequences to each side were less demoralizing and scarcely more fatal than where they kept at peace. Indeed, the moral harm that is sure 10 accompany an influx of coolies is so well under stood that the public man who ad- vocates a removal of the restrictions on that class of immigration for business reasons, places himself in an attitude dangerously near that of the private citizen who would invite the fouling of his own home that the family fortune might be increased thereby.
