is not so. On the contrary there is
not a shadow OF rancor or hostility
in the course they have taken. The
tendency toward monopoly or sub
stantiai monopoly is as swift as 1t

with effective competition, great cor

becomes as dangerous as the spirit

sattleship and Gun of the Future.

The running fight which followed
the sortie of the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur, and the decisive battle of
Tsushima Straits. crystallized into fact
many theories of the design and man.
euyering of warships; and settled.
probably for many years to come, the
yeXed questions of the size of ship. the
type of gun, and the best formation in
which to fight a naval action. The
oattleship of the future will be of
great size; displacement will be not
less than 10000 tons; and this will in
crease so rapidly that a 30,O0O-ton ship
will probably. be afioat before the
close of the next decade. The main
armament will consist exclusively of
heavy guns of not less than IL inches

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.

West Virginia is to make an exper-
iment in a Jim Crow city. This city
has been laid out near Charleston
the capital of the state, and it is ex-
pected that within a year it will con-
tain population of several thousand.
No white person will be permitted to
BESIDE within the its limits or to own
property therein. In the midst of this
little Africa is situated the state col.
ored high school. Educational facili-
ties will be ample, and there win be
electric lights, sewers and a park.
The city viii be governed, of course,
by the negro inhabitants, and the
whole state will watch with interest
the progress of the experiment as
testing the capacity of the negro for
self-government.

Refuse Another Suggestion to Settle
Meat Wagon Drivers Trouble

NEW YORK, August 2S.-The offer of the
Civic Federation TO act as mediator of
the strike of the meat wagon drivers was
declined yesterday by w. H. Noyes chair
man of the executive committee of the
Wholesale Butchers Employers Associa-
ton. The offer was made through Ralph
NJ. Easley. Mr.. Moves said he gave the
same answer as he gave to Col. Reagan, in
dustrial arbitrator of the state labor depart
ment, to the effect that the members of
the association were unanimously of the
opinion that their former employees no
longer have any claims which can be the
subject of arbitration, or even further con-
sideraton.
AS to the general situation. he said that
some of the old men We're applying for their
former positions.
More deliveries are being made with less
men than were employed before the strike" I"
he said. We have made no agreement
and none of our members has made any
agreement with the tcamSterS union
There did not appear to be any break in
| the ranks of the strikers yesterday. They
kept around their headquarters with the ex-
ception of those who were on picket duty.
There were not many disturbances. In
| the early morning Ivan Newmark, one of
! the guards employed by Bowen & Post, was
attacked in a restaurant at 10Th street near
| 1st avenue. He was beaten badly and his
nose was broken. He charged Frank
| Gaurill, a butcher, with assault. Gaurill.
| who was arrested, said he acted in self
defense as Newmark. he said, kept showing
! his badge and several times put his hand
near his hip pocket. Both men We're taken
to the night court where Gaurill was
fined So.
Edwin Gould. chairman of the New York
District Council Of ;he United Teamsters of
America, who tried to get the strike settled
through the Civic Federation said yester-
day that he had not yet given up the at
tempt.
Il want to stave off a strike of all the
teamsters" he said, and all the criticism
of men who are not in accord with me will
not affect me. l do not want a repetition
OF the cumulative strike in Chicago, where
one branch after another went out without
thinking of the cost"
