GREAT RRTTAIN'S CANALS.
Less Than 1000 Miles, and All Are
Neglected.

London, April liking Edward
has appointed a royal commission,
headed by Lord Shuttleworth, to in
quire into the canals and inland navi-
CATION of the United Kingdom, and
to report what changes are desirable
in their extension and control. 'The
total length of British canals, accord
ing to the last official report is less
than 1000 miles, of wlhch aggregate
considerably over fourth is owned
or controlled by railway companies.
The neglected condition Of the Brit
ish inland waterways generally has
been the subject of agitation for many
years and as long ago as 1893 joint
parliamentary committee was ap-
pointed which recorded an emphatic
opinion as to the necessity of sweep
ing improvements If the system OF
waterways, once the admiration OF
other nations, was TO bear its proper
share in the work of internal trans
port. More recently the agitation has
been renewed and fostered by certain
chambers of commerce and last yeal
the association of chambers adopted
resolution in favor of placing the ca
nails in the hands of a public trust
A bill with that object was then in
troduced, but suffered the fate o.
withdrawal upon technical failur'
to comply with standing orders.

SOCIALISM CROWS.
THREATENS TO UPSET
EUROPEAN THRONES
Alarming Growth In England, Ger
many, France and Russia-In Rus
sla ii Means Revolt, While i'm More
Civilized Countries IL is an Intelli-
gent Protest Against Conditions.

Berlin, April NO subject is
causing greater concern to European
publicists and statesmen at the pres
ent moment than the amazing spread
in all countries of the so-called social .
list movement. The name is largely
misnomer for in Germany and Rus
sia it applies chiefly to the reneral
revolt against monarchical ins;itu-
tions while even in England it fails
to cover all that in America is under
stood to be included in the term So
cialism.
A pretense is made toward i1sorna-
tionalism but there is really Hide
practical cohesion between races and
countries in the movement. In four
great powers however, it has gain
the dimensions of an important ele-
ment in the body polite, and in two
namely, England and Germany-it
threatens to disrupt completely existr
ing political conditions.
In England the sudden advent of
this new power has dumbfounded the
politicians of all parties. 1t was ut
terly unexpected, and its significance
is scarcely yet realized even by its
own leaders.
The result of the general election
is political paradox. 1t shows APP
parently a victory Of unprecedented
magnitude for the liberal party; in
reality it fOreshadows the destruction
of that party.
The socialist labor party had no
vious to the election. Had they real
lied their power the leaders would
have run Independent candidates in
hundreds of constituencies where they
gave half-hearted support TO the lib
eral ticket.
The effect would have been to seat
nearer 100 than so socialists and to
elect by reason OF the triangular con-
tests more than twice as many union
lists as were actually returned. 1t
will be this cleavage of the present
so-called liberal party which will re-
turn the unionists to power at much
earlier date than is now expected.
In Germany the social democratic
movement is practically a struggle
for representation-for political
emancipation. 1t has reached huge
proportions and it has aroused hatred
so bitter on the part of Prince Buelow
and the kaiser himself that their
language of denunciation is a confess
sion of their sense of dire peril.
In France the socialist movement
largely accounts for the spread of
anti-clericalism among the masses
and explains how it has come about
that the nation which was yesterday
the stanchest supporter of the Ro-
man church banishes that church to-
day as a state institution.

LUMBER PRICES ARE HIGH.
North Yakima Building Rapidly Dis
pite Rise I'm Prices.

The lumber business of North Yak
ina is in a peculiar condition just
now, owing to the rapidly rising prices
among the mills of the sound and the
big demand made upon them for
building material, says the Yakima
Republic.
One lumber dealer said Tuesday
afternoon that he is doing a larger
business now than ever before and
expects the demand for the product
of his yard to materially increase dur
ing the summer.
The filing of orders by the sound
millmen will cut figure in the busi-
ness here this summer. The dealer
above referred to said that he had
placed orders last February and hat
not yet received the material. Il
seems. under the present congesteC
condition of the transportation com
panies, impossible to deliver lumber
| in any reasonable time. This viii
have had effect upon building oper
atons throughout the whole stat'
this summer as well as in this city.
Notwithstanding the rise in tht
price of everything in this line, build
ing operations are going on at ;
rapid pace in all parts of the city. A
present no less than 100 residence
are under construction and there ar
eight business blocks under construc
ton and more are contemplated a
an early date.

THE IDEALS OF
EQUAL SUFFRAGE
MISS ANNA SHAW
SPEAKS IN PORTLAND.
New Democratic Ideals of Govern
mcnt Give Woman an Equal Station
With Her Husband--She Is just as
Intelligent, just as Responsible
Why Not as Free?

The Portland Oregonian gives the
following account of the address of
Rev. Anna Shaw, president of the Ma
tional Woman's Suffrage association,
at the Portland suffrage conference
this week:
There was a good program at the
evening and afternoon sessions, Rev.
Anna Shaw being at her best and in
fusing new life and spirit in the pro-
ceedinCs, says the Oregonian.
WhoI asked by some auditor who
would lake care of the babies If the
women went to the polls to vote, Miss
Shaw stated that it might be pre-
sumed that the same agencies which
cared for them when women went out
to pay their taxes might look after
the little ones; otherwise-if the faith
crs were not Intelligent enough or
had not sufficient governmental pow
ers to control an infant for an hour
or so, that there need be no uneasi-
ness about the outcome. Don't let
the care of the baby worry anyone
for an instant" she said, there will
be no day in the year on which babies
will be SO well cared for-when there
will be so many willing hands to pro-
tect 1t, as the day on which the moth
ers can cast their votes.
And If there are no others to care
for them, the candidates will see to
1t that they are cared for and enter
tained while the mother drops her
ballot for them"
New Democratic Ideal.
1.-THE New Democratic Ideal" was
the subject Of DIR. Shaw's evening ad-
dress and a large audience of men
and women filled the White Temple
to hear her expound the principles
which embrace the equality of women
in affairs of government.
THE new democratic ideal differs
from the old" she said, because in
this country we have undertaken the
greatest task men ever assumed--to
give every man and woman an oppor-
tunity to be and become all that it is
possible to be and become under the
law. 1t is to be a pure democracy in
which no man will stand on another
mans shoulders to rise, and in which
no man win permit another to stand
on his shoulder to rise. And the
same is true Of women.
"Grover Cleveland said that no
woman's name should be known pub
licly excepting I'm connection with her
husband's-but how some of them
would shrink from that! Women are
just as responsible as men, and II
men are unjust 1t is women's fault be-

POLITICAL SCHEME

Says Bailey, in Writing About His
Connection With OIL Trust.
Dallas, Tex, 40ct. 9.-Letters which
have passed between United States
Senator Bailey and Attorney General
Davidson have been made public. Bal
ley virtually accused Davidson of start
ing the new suit against the Waters
Pierce Oil company. and the Standard
Oil company, simultaneously with the
political war started on him inside
and outside of Texas. for the purpose
of influencing feeling against him as
a candidate for reelection to the senate.
Were it not for this suspicion, Bailey
declares, he would have offered his
services to the state to assist IN pros
ectuing the two oil companies to drive
them out of the state unuer ,he anti
trust laws. Davidson disclaims hav-
ing had any political efforts in view
when he filed the suit; that he filed it
for the sole purpose of vindicating
an outraged law and furnishing pal
pable fraud

NO IMMUNITY
To Railroads in Damage Cases, Where
Injured Party Is Riding on
a Pass

Chicago, Oct. .9.-The printed notice
on the back of passes that the holder
thereof agrees to hold the railroad
company issuing the same exempt
from all claims for damages in case
of injury, does not confer the expect
ed immunity, according to a decision
rendered by the appellate court today
The decision was given in a suit
brought by George B. Purvis, an en-
ploye of the Pennsylvania railroad,
who was given judgment of $4,000
for injuries suffered in an accident
while travelling from Chicago to Erie,
Pa, on a pass on which the usual ex-
emption notice was printed. The COM
pany appealed and the court today de-
cided that railroad company cannot
by contract exempt itself from liabil-
ity for negligence.

BOATS WRECKED
And Part of Grew Drowned in Fierce
Storm on Lake Superior.

Houghton, Mich, Oct. 9.--The worst
storm in years ragged on Lake Superior
last night and today, the wind blowing
a terrific gale and waves becoming
mountain high. The barge Pasadena,
ore laden in tow of the steamer
Gladstone, parted her tow line at Z
o'clock while entering the upper ca
nal and ran onto the east break lter
at $3.50 p. m. The Pasadena was
total loss, having been blown on the
rocks about a mile east of the canal.
Three out of the crew of ten are miss
ing and it is believed they drowned.
A live saving crew made heroic eff
forts to locate the remainder of the
crew. Seven came ashore in a surf
boat.
The Pasadena went to pieces, and
nothing was saved, the crew escaping
only with clothes they wore. A large
number of vessels are sheltered in
Lily Pond harbor of refuge, but a
number of vessels ventured out in the
face of the storm warnings, and it
is believed hard time is in store for
them. The Gladstone and Pasadena
were enroute from Two Harbors to the
lower lakes. both loaded with iron
ore. The Gladstone made the harbor
safely and is now in shelter.

BEER BILL

Wooster, O.. Oct. 9.-The case
against ex-Probate Judge R. L. Adair,
of this city, by Matthias Weidrich, of
Orrville, to recover beer and cigar
bill sad to have Deen contracted by
Adair during his candidacy for probate
Judge, was dismissed today following
a demurrer filed by defendant. Judge
Maxwell sustained the demurrer and
dismissed the plaintiffs petition on
the ground that it set up an account
the collection of which is barred by
the statute of limitations; and also
that the claim of the defendant is bas-
ed on a contract that was against pub
lie policy.
Weidrich alleged that he entered
into an agreement with Adair to fur
nish beer and cigars free to various
patrons of his saloon at Orrville, the
act of dispensing the two articles nam
ed to be in furtherance of the politI-
cal campaign of Adair. The court held
that this kind of a contract is voidable
and amenable to the statute providing
a heavy penalty for one who endeavors
to carry an election or secure votes by
bribery. The case may be taken to
the circuit court.
