BIames the Journermen-

Attorney Easby-Smith, when approach
ed on the matter, promptly replied. The
delay in this case has been caused en-
tirely by the journeyman plumbers and
their counsel. They have no cause for
complaint whatever, and you can quote
me just as strongly as you like in max
ing this declaration. They are trying
every sort Of double game they can think
Of In this matter"
When told that the journeymen stated
that they did not know wherein they had
violated their contract with the master
plumbers. Mr. Easby-Smith answered.
Il have, I'm black and white. evidence
that the journeymen have broken eight
or ten positive engagements within the
past thirty days-slnce this matter of ar
bitratiOn has been pending. The delay has
not been due 20 any fault of ours. I can
assure you, and this viii be made plain
in time.
Mr. Mcnamara, when told Of Mr. Eas-
by-Smith's statement. said;
Il am greatly surprised that such a
statement should come from Mr. Easby-
Smith. for il is not only untrue. but he
knows IL TO be untrue. 1t is a fact that
a member of the board. Mr. Ralston, has
been out of town this week: but the
whole delay has been caused by the mas
ter plumbers themselves in forcing the
open-shop question That is the only
stumbling block in the way.

Eliminate Open-shop Question.

This matter was argued some little
time ago, and ii was finally agreed to
leave the Open-shop question out of the
proceedings altogether, for, as l pointed
out, it was entirely irrelevant to the origi-
nal difficulties. and it would be a most re-
markable procedure to attempt to set a
union TO agree TO an open shop. Of
course, the union could not do so without
violating its own constitution.
so it was agreed to leave that phase
Of the matter out altogether. and an
agreement was drawn uD by Mr. Easily
Smith himself, mind you, and not by me-
which my men signed But when Mr.
Easby-Smith took Ii to the master plumb
ers for their signature, they not only re-
fused to sign il. but reDudiated him for
abandoning the open shop claim. He came
TO see me about Il. and seemed greatly
dOwncast at the treatment he had re-

F. Augustus Heinze has always con-
tended that the Parrot mine got most
OF it's copper out of his properties. The
fact that the mine has suddenly quit
producing since settlement of the cop
per war seems to prove his contention
correct. The PARROT management
states that it will be forced to consume
several months in drilling through the
zone of iron ore down to the zone of
second naturalization, which is now
known to underlie all of the Butte prop
critics.
It is said that the United Metals Sell
ing company intends to advance the
price of copper shortly. The great
scarcity of the metal in Europe has put
the metal spectators in a semi panicky
condition. The American producers are
selling as fast as they can produce.

AN ALLEGED CHINOOK.
Its Effect on the Snow in the Metrop
oils

Its Effect on the Snow in the Metrop-
oils.
BY the way Of d final vagary Of a
winter that has been noteworthy for
its eccentricity New York has been
treated to the unwonted luxury Of a
Chinook wind. 1t can scarcely have
escaped notice that last Mondays snow
has been disposing Of itself by unos-
tenatiously vanishing under the sun
warmth without leaving puddles. In
effect, the physical process has been
that the sun melted fake of snow
and the dry air promptly drank the re-
sulting drop of water and carried it
away for some future need of pre-
cipation,
The proof of this has been graciously
permitted to appear in the record of the
Weather Bureau, possibly because Pro-
fessor Willis Moore did not suspect
that lay readers of weather signs knew
anything about sensible temperatures
and the wet bulb thermometor, These
are the records of humidity of the air,

A climate rarity in New York or any
where along the eastern seaboard, this
dry evaporation Of snow fields is well
coined as a blessing on the ranges of
Montana and Idaho where 1t is known
as the Chinook wind, In that region
1t is frequent phenomenon. The
moist winds of the Pacific are squeezed

ORIGIN OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY.
Pope Aubrey and Sprat differ from
Wallis in their accounts of the origin
of the Royal Society The first three
find that origin in meetings held in
Wadham College under the presidency
of wilkins during his wardenship.
Wallis traces the origin further back to
meetings held in London in 1645, meet
ings a divers worthy persons inquisi-
tive nature philosophy" 1t is difficult
for Wadham man to be impartial in
such a matter; he tempted to appeal to
those who minimize, if not ignore, the
work in London, and to claim for the
oxford Society the entire glory Of that
great achievement. But 1t seems
reasonable to accept Wallace account
that the first meetings were held in
London, where Wilkins lived and
worked for seven or eight years before
he became Warden of Wadham and
that the philosophers in London con-
tinued these meetings after Wilkins
left London for Oxford. Two philo-
sophical clubs may we'll have existed,
one in London, the other founded later
in oxford, and both of them may be
called incunabula of the Royal So
ciety. 80. ,..,.,-,t
The Royal Society was really found
ed in November, 1850 at a meeting held
in Gresham College. Twelve persons
were present, among them Wilkins,
Rookie and Christopher Wren. A com
mittee was appointed. OF which will
kins was chairman. The King APP
proved Of the scheme drawn up by the
committee, and in 1862 gave the society
lbs charter. This part at least of Will
kin's claim to have founded the Royal
Society Is beyond dispute.

THE BELGIAN ON THE CONGO
ASTPOCITIES"

ASIltlC1llELO.
The report of the commission sent
out by King Leopold to investigate
conditions in the Congo Free State
issued by Putnam's seems to be the
work of honest and intelligent men.
1t is not true, as is claimed by some
missionaries now in this country, that
these reports bear out all the charges
they have made concerning present
conditions in that unhappy country;
but it does show a state of things too
bad to be excused or tolerated The
prime cause Of the evil Is the assump-
ton by King Leopold Of absolute own
ership of all land not actually settled
and occupied by the natives. With
a wandering population, largely de-
pendent for its livelihood upon the for
tse, which lies all around their villages,
this claim cuts off at once the many
sources of independence and comfort,
and makes the natives practically the
slaves of those who claim the products
of the vast region in question
The commission sent out from Bel
GUM points out the evils they have
found in the administration of the
Congo Free State, and shows that they
come largely erom this claim of the
king to the ownership of all the public
lands. and more particularly to the
leasing of the the privileges to private
corporations, which, although in theory
under the range of laws enacted for the
protection of the natives are practically
irresponsible, and ruled only by their
own greed and self-interest. Still 1t is
only fair to say that the commission
testifies that n vast improvement has
been made between former and present
conditions during the last twenty years
the worst forms of barbarism they
say have disappeared, cannabalism has
been abolished, and no alchohol is sold
to the natives. The worst phase Of
cruelty is connected with the sentry
system which the commission would
have abolished. According to this re-
port, the conditions existing are awful,
but they have been worse and there
is some prospect Of improvement.

PAPYRus FOR BANK NOTES.

i
In only one place in Europe is the
papyrus plant still to befound. This
is on the upper reaches of the little
rover Anapo in Sicily, near the mouth
Of which Syracuse is situated. Papy-
rus cultivation was very important
branch of agriculture with the antique
and classic worlds, for it was from the
pith of this semiaquatic plant that the
material was made upon which the an
clients wrote, material similar to
tough, thick whity1brown paper, which
moderns also call papyrus. 1t was en-
ployed for the purpose of literature and
correspondence by the Egyptians,
Greeks and Romans and continued in
general use both in Italy and through
out the eastern empire until the
twelfth century Indeed, it was the
writing paper of the world for over g.
90 years a long period for any manu-
featured article to command the mar
ket and successfully defy all COMPETE
ton
Now the italian minister of finance is
planning to utilize the papyrus plant
again. Its cultivation is to be under
taken by the ministry of agriculture,
and state factory for the manufac-
ture of papyrus paper is to be erected.
A law is to bepassed declaring both the
cultivation and the manufacture to be
government monopolies and the papy-
rus paper is to be employed exclusive
ly for the purposes of the currency.
Bank notes printed on papyrus pa
per would, under these circumstance
be really inimitable. In Italy-the note
forgers' paradise-this would be of in
calculable advantage to the govern
ment and to the public.

There is considerable alarm over the pos
sfbilities of potato famine, and some OF
the farmers fear that the situation will
gradually become another season as bad as
that of more than half a century ago. The
potato blight is bad, especially among the
fields and gardens in the counties Wexford
and Waterford Along the seacoast more
especially has the blight shown itself I'M
mistakaby in the withered stalks and de-
caying leaves, and. in some instances, the
baneful smell that is given out by the de-
caying tubers. Heavy sea fogs have been
very prevalent for the past three weeks,
and more inland even, the dense vapors
have not lifted until late in the morning.
and to this cause some Of the mischief Is
attributed
Resort to Spraying.
Where spraying has been resorted to. the
blight has not shown itself SO markedly,
and in many instances where portion only
of the field has been sprayed, and another
part not, the former has escaped while the
latter has not. Potatoes-the ordinary
growth-are now selling freely in the mar
ket towns at from five-pence to eight-pence
the stone weight. Other crops, however,
are doing well.
The new town hall in Belfast was form

emergence of the northern capital from
that of a more or less provincial town into
the position of one of the great cities OF
the world. When the plan and expense OF
the building were first adumbrated, there
we're loud cries from many quarters that
the scheme was too large for Belfast, but
It's promoters very wisely proceeded with 1t;
and they have worked 1t out to the perma-
nent credit OF the town. The position Of
the new building-the finest now In Bel

Library the best site in the city.
