GOVERNMENT TO PAY
LABORERS' TRANSPORTATION

WASHINGTON, Oct, 16.-In con-
nection with the procurement of the
large amount of labor necessary on
the Pacific coast to make the repairs
to the battleship fleet when it reaches
California next year, the navy de-
partment is considering a proposition
which will undoubtedly cause a great
stir among the labor unions on the
coast. This is to induce eastern la
borers to go there by giving them and
their families transportation, pro-
vided they contract to remain in the
governments service certain time.
OF course, higher wages must be paid
than are common in the east, as a
necessary feature of this plan.

FUND SECURED FOR
SWEDISH CUP CHALLENGER

STOCKHOLM, Oct 16.-Wnliam
OLSON and Goesta Kyhlberger, who
are at the head of the movement here
to build a challenge for the Ameri-
can cup, say that large portion of
the money required to construct and
sail a ninety footer, estimated at
about $4,000 has already been sub
scribed. Many large manufacturers
have offered to furnish material
gratis, and the captain and three
mates of the yacht will sail her with
out any pay; the designer will ac-
cept no compensation for his work,
and the builder will charge only the
net cost of the construction. Messrs.
OLSON and Kyhlberger think they
will now be able to guarantee funds
even for ninety-five footer If re-

AGED NEGRO RUNS
AMUCK AT RENO

Frank Bacchus, a negro more than
los years of age, at Reno last week
attempted to kill Mrs. Emil Weichert,
because the woman trespassed on his
property between Second street and
the Truckee river. The aged negro
is now in the city Jail, charged with
assault with intent to kill, but in all
probability will be examined by the
board of insanity commissioners and
sentenced to the Nevada Insane asy-
lum.
Bacchus is a large negro, and is
quite strong and healthy despite his
advanced age, and twice within the
last six months he has tried to kill
persons who have walked across his
land

STEEL MISSILE CRASHES
THROUGH STORE WINDOW

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16.-Dur-
ing the dynamiting of the ruins of
the city hall yesterday a piece of steel
weighing ten pounds was hurled
through the plate glass window of
Kirner Brothers candy store, on
Market street, 200 yards away. The
missile passed directly between two
customers, missing the head of one
by barely an inch. The candy store,
located next to the Central theater,
was crowded at the time, and the pa
irons of the place were thrown into
a panic.

MRS. RUSSELL SAGE
PAYS ANCIENT DEBT

DUBUQUE, Ia, Oct. 16.-The fact
that $4,000 of the Russell Sage mil
lions will go to heirs of Ezekiel Oil
plant is furnishing an interesting
theme of conversation in this vicin-
ity
The story on which the payment of
the sum named rests dates back more
than sixty years. The debt was one
which the lapse of years has wiped
out, SO far as legal responsibility was
concerned.
The matter recently was presented
to Mrs. Sages attorneys and she or
dered the debt, grown through inter-
est from $4,000 to $4,000, dis
charged.

Oliver p. Morton, statue of whom was
unveiled at Indianapolis yesterday. was
one of the heroic figures of the civil war
the war governor par excellence of that
Titanic struggle His difficulties were
greater than those with which either An
drew of Massachusetts, or Curtin Of
Pennsylvania, had to contend Indiana was
on the border, and contained many south
ern sympathiZers who were active at home
all through the struggle. But nothing
could discourage or defeat the indomtabe
spirit at the head of the states affairs.
Gov Morton's whole heart was for the
preservation of the Union, and his utmost
resources were employed to enable Indiana
to do her full share of the work. Her
enlistments were large, and 'Morton's
Boys" distinguished themselves in many
of the bloodlest battles that were fought
He would have made a great President
of the United States. but by 1876, when
his name was presented in convention for

priscs now under way in this country. Our
railroad disasters have become numer-
and SO serious in results to consti-
tute chronic menace to life. The annual
toll of lives exacted mounts to the thou
sands. While sanitarians are fighting dis
ease and educating the public to higher
standards of living. the railways are STAY
ing unnecessarily and the evil has grown
to gigantic proportions
Railroad wrecks are practically to be set
down as almost invariab bly, avoidable. Even
when equipment breaks, the flaw is trace
able to poor materials. poor workmanship
or Indifferent inspection. or the break TO
over-use. In all but the very small per-
centage OF cases human error lies at the
root of every calamity. The majority OF
the wrecks may be attributed directly to
the errors of operatives. The towerman
sets the wrong signal, the telegrapher mis-
sends or misreads a message, the dis
patcher makes an Incorrect computation.
the engineer mistakes a red light for a
white, the conductor thinks he can steal
switch. a switchman grasps the wrong lever,
a brakeman fails to go back the proper dis
lance when his train is stalled-these are
familiar examples Of the laundering that
leads to death by the wholesale.
The problem set before this commission
is to ascertain to what degree the dangers
of the rail In this country are preventible
how far they are due to the overworking
of equipment or operatives, how far they
are traceable to corporation greed. how far
to individual incapacity and how far the
mechanical appliances are trustworthy to
prevent collisions, derailments and other
forms of disaster. That federal legislation
on this subject is urgently needed is plain
to all who have examined into the matter
Until both the state and the federal laws
impose heavy penalties not only upon the
employees who blunder. but upon the man
ayers who hire incapable men and who ig-
more the risks to which they subject the
travelling public, the disaster record will
grow and the death roll will mount. The
remedy lies ready at hand.

The Iron Ore Strike.


Not ton of ore has been shipped from
Duluth for a week" This is the closing
statement of dispatch from that city
relative to the strike of the iron miners
and ore handlers now in progress 1t Is
of immense significance to the industries
of the United States. For the great
Mesaba range In Minnesota comprises the
remarkable deposits Of soft iron ore that
supply the bulk of the materials for the
steel mills of this country. To close these
mines and thus to cause a suspension of
the ore shipments that flow down the
great lakes to Chicago, Cleveland, Ashta-
bula, Erie, Conneaut and Buffalo means
to curtail the supply of raw materials
from which the bulk of the steel manu-
featured IN this country is produced. 1t
requires no particular vividness of imagl-
nation to conceive the deplorable results
upon all lines Of trade caused by a pro-
longed suspension of steel manufacture.
Owing to the fact that the lakes are
not navigable during at least three. usually
four and sometimes five, months Of the
year, 1t is necessary to keep the ore fleet In
action necessarily during the open period to
supply the mills Of Illinois, Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New York. The growth of
the lake ore fleet during the past few
years has been one of the industrial mar
wells of the age. The ships have increased
in size from a cargo tonnage of 5000 to
10000 within two or three seasons They
have grown in length, beam and draught
until they are approximately at the limit
of the locks, channels and harbor en-
frances The shipyards Of the lake cities
have been under an incessant pressure Of
orders for new vessels. The fleet in serv-
ice last season just kept the mills sup
piled, with a sufficient margin to provide
for the winter months and to accumulate
a small surplus for emergencies. This
season opened late and the surplus is at
a low point. 1t is extremely doubtful
whether the mills could run at full pace
for three months If the strike should con-
tinue as long as that.
The latest reports from the mines indi-
cate that an ugly feeling prevails among
the strikers. They are largely foreigners.
easily aroused to disorder by energetic
leaders. The governor of the state. how
ever, has gone to the scene and promises
to call out the state troops to suppress
rioting should the occasion require such
action There are no large communities
Immediately within the range of actual
mining operations, the range" being
dotted however with small towns en-
tirely dependent upon the working of the
mines. Nevertheless, the property ex-
posed to damage and destruction aggre-
gates an enormous sum. A prolonged
strike would cause keen distress through
out wide area. Already, indeed, it has
thrown out of employment a large num-
Der of railroad, dock and steamship hands,
cntailng heavy loss. The situation Is
fraught with highly dramatic possibilities,
apart from the certain effect for Ill upon
the Industrial welfare of the country.

Texas and Reform.

There is something doing in the great
state of Texas. A legislature, elected on
the broad issue of reform. redeemed the
campaign promises made in the party's
name, and a number OF new laws on
the books for execution. a governor, elect
cd ar the same time and on the same plat
form. insists that the laws shall be ex-
ecuted TO the letter. And there You are
We are told that the legislature overshot
the mark; that much OF Its work is ex-
IRENE and unwise, and if allowed to stand
will injure the state. that the people, upon
more reflection, regret the excited CAM
patgn that produced this result, and now
want much OF 1t undone.
Very well. If this is true the governors
course Will lead to a realization of this
later desire OF the people. II the laws are
bad. the speediest way TO secure their re-
peal will be to execute them faithfully and
rigidly. II they are really good the people
still have the right 10 ali that their execu-
ton may accomplish In either event. the

To suspend law. or modify it's terms. but
under his oath OF Office must that all
the laws are enforced.
We need not be surprised il it shall ap-
pear that the Texas people at the polls Or
dered little more than is proving good for
them. Such thing sometimes happens in
this country. Not infrequently abuses are
permitted To go uncorrected until they be-
cloud the judgment of the electorate. Then.
al last. reform is ordered, but ordered In a
heat aud a hurry, and it fails to reach the
spot. 1t may. indeed. do more harm than
good. 1t may comphcate an already over
complicated situation.
But, allowing for this, the Texas legisla-
ture ami Gov. Campbell are both on the
safe side. The worst thing that can happen
IN this country is for party to promise
one thing in order to secure office and do
another after obtaining office In other

The MARYLAND Democracy.

A number of the democratic leaders OF
MARYLAND met in Baltimore yesterday and
went into committee OF the whole ON the
state of the state. After a protracted
session the committee rose without taxing
action.
The session. however, was not without It's
uses For one thing. it confirmed the wide
ly circulated reports of factionai troubles
and made it very plain that if harmony Is
to be obtained those who desire 1t must
hustle. Gov Warfield described conditions
as chaotic" and while there was objection
To the description those who voiced 1t had
vet TO agree that the conditions were such
the party must put its best foot foremost
for November. The candidate for gov
ernor must he the best available and the
platform the expression of the party's best
aspirations.
The next step is the state convention. AS
the leaders cannot agree. the rank and
file so To say must settle the question. We
shall witness then stirring clash of per-
sonaI ambitions in a large gathering where
old rules will prevail and where the devil
IS always adjured to take, and always gets,
the hrdmost. If this meeting should re-
sembe chaos. then will Gov. Varied be
justified of his expression and the road be-
come a rocky one for the democracy to the
polls
The suggestion of eX-Congressman Niles

frage. AS Mr.. Vanderbilt said about the

fairs and is lighting FOR a state ticket which

ticket represents its character and pur-
poses. may the governor and his friends be

The wind comes singing low
From far away;
The twilight with its glow
At parting day
Has gilt the distant west
With radiance rare;
The day sinks into rest

Seek to destroy
A universe aglow
With bounteous Joy;
Each hour it's beauty brings
In some new way.

From day to day.
