Edward and william.

at Frederickshoff on his way to Mari

watering place. The two monarchs
parted with The same outward manifes-
ialions of friendship that marked their
meeting and the entire course of their
visit together. Kaiser Wilhelm accom-
panied his uncle TO the raj way station
and the rulers embraced before Edward
boarded the train. The British sover-
eign waved his hand to the Kaiser as the
train pulled out of the station. The
tone of the Ger nan press toward King
Edward on the occasion Of his meeting
with the Kaiser, was cordial, and it is
generally felt here that as result Of the
Kings visit to Germany, peace has
been restored between The two monarchs
who have had some bitter personal dis
agreements during The last Two years and
that better relations will be established
between Germany and England.
That the meeting of King Edward
and the Kaiser is bound to be produc;
tive OF good, seems to be the feeling in
both Great Britain and Germany, as
shown by the expressions of the news
papers generally. The significance of
their visit is shown by the fact that the
British king was accompanied by Sir
Charles Hardinge, permanent under.sec'
rotary of foreign affairs. His presence

Moran, who stirred up recent Iegisls-

are rival candidates for the democratic

seems to have the inside track with the
democratic organization and this prob
ably led Mr.. Moran TO announce the
novel proposition which he makes pub

willing to have Mr.. Whitney and him
self submit reasons for desiring to head
the democratic ticket to any three strong

six cities outside of Boston, and abide
by the results. He also suggests the
submission of their individual records to

A DECLINE 10 the wheat market yes
terjay on the New York produce ex-
change brought the price of that COM
modify to the lowest figure of the last
tour years. Continued good weather IN
the wheat belt, with the promise OF a
bountiful harvest, was responsible for the

of the year, made last January, of 96!c.
while cash ccru sold at 56lc, against
e2sc, the high point of the current year.

compers vs.. Cannon.

The issue between tbs republican
partyiand organized labor in the coming
campaign will be clearly and explicitly
stated by Speaker Cannon this evening
when he accepts, at his home in Danville,
the nomination for the House Of Repre-
sentatives. President Gompers, of tine
American Federation of Labor, has
singled out Speaker Cannon as the par
ticular mark against which organized
labor shall direct is efforts this year.
1t will be remembered that when
Chairman Gompers and his associates
called on President Roosevelt, and SUBJ
sequently on Speaker Cannon, TO COM
plain of the alleged indifference OF the
republican party to the demsnds of organ
lied labor on pending legislation, their
reception by Speaker Cannon, they be
lieved, was anything but cordisl, and
left the Speakers room determined that
Mr.. Cannon must be defeated for re-
election. Speaker Cannon took up the
challenge.
Ofkdu I-t topot oPP<oto w nav ooS-
lecled toe FIRST essential in defeating Mr..
Cannon. Nominating primaries were
held last Saturday, but both the demo-
Gratis aud the labor people neglected to
put up candidate. Tue prohibitionists
made nomination, however, and, SO it
seems possible that if President Com
pers really intends 10 carry out his threat
to fight Mr. Cannon it must be done by
supporting the prohibition candidate.
In his speech Speaker Cannon will de-
vote himself to the principal grievance
of organized labor against The republican
party, the grievance That has led tho
labor leaders into the announcement
that sne, ! themselves enter the polit-
ical field namely, the refusal of the re-
publican House TO pass the anti-iniunc-
ton bill. Speaker Cannon will speak
very plainly, and will declare that he OPP
posed it because he believed il would
open the doors for the destruction of
property by those whom the speaker
characterizes as Criminals" who are in
no way identified With labor in this
fight.

contention of the Consolidated Gas Com

by The new law would prevent the com.
pauy from paying dividends on IFS stock.
