TRADE DRAWS THE WHITES.

Many physicians as well as business men
argue that never before has the interest Of peo-
ple in the temperate zones been so deep in the
tropics n is at present, thing which in itself
is favorable to bringing about healthful habita-
tion where the suns rays are hottest. Trade
between the inhabitants of the temperate and
torrid zones has undergone a wonderful increase
in the last few years, and result IT has been
necessary 10 send many white men to take
charge Of the business affairs Of their respec-
tive houses. A result the interest in improV-
ing the tropics is more than temporary. To- day
in South Africa. South America and other coun-
tries which crossed by the equator. where
previously in many cases only crude towns ex-
listed, there are well governed and well drained
cities, where the latest designs in automobiles

RIO de Janeiro and other cities which were little
known and less visited by Anglo -Saxons a few
years ago now contain as many improvements
as any city in this country. Reclamation of the
land from disease and sickness has already be-

ner IN which they are constructed and popu-
lated, these towns are there TO stay. There are
fine hospitals. efficient sewerage. magnificent

Pressmen on Strike,
FUGITIVE BREWER HELD.
Wanted at Syracuse for Attempted
Arson-Under Conviction.

AUBURN, N. Y, May "A telegram was
received here last night by District Attor-
ney Burritt from Chief OF Police Maine of
Niagara Falls, Ont, stating that he had
arrested at that place Herman Bartels, the
Syracuse brewer, wanted by the Cayuga
county authorities. Bartels was convicted
here last year for attempted arson, and,
being under heavy bail, was given three
days to straighten out his business affairs
before being sentenced. Instead of ap-
pearing in court on the day appointed he
fed to Canada.
Under the treaty Bartels could not be ex-
tradited for the crime for which he was
convicted. Recently the grand jury of
Cayuga county indicted Bartels for perjury
committed while testifying in his own be-
half during his trial for attempted arson.
Perjury is an extradftable crime, and it
was on this ground that Bartels was
rested by the Canadian authorities.
Bartels was the chief stakeholder of the
Bartels Brewing Company of Syracuse and
was reputed to be wealthy man. County
Judge A. H. Soaring, who presided at the
trial, died a short time ago, and Hull
Greenfield, who was Bartels' counsel at the
trial, has been appointed county judge. A
few weeks ago Bartels' sister and daughter,
who were on his bond for $4,000. compro-
missed with Cayuga county for $4,000.

ested at this time-New York and Ohio.
These men are Arthur Won Briesen, prom
inent patent lawyer of New York city and
a personal friend of the President, and
Charles r. Miller, patent lawyer Of Cleve-
land, who, it. is said, is identified with the
Taft forces.
It is the belief among patent attorneys in
this city and persons who are in touch
with the political situation in these two
states that the President will appoint either
a NSp York or an Ohio man. In fact, many
regar,i 1t as foregone conclusion. Secre-
tary Garfield of the Interior Department,
who will doubtless be consulted by the
President in the matter, is from Ohio, and
his judgment in regard to the needs in that
state would have weight.
The Indications now strongly point to the
selection Of Major Miller. He was a candi-
date for the position of commissioner of
patents before Mr.. Allen received the ap-
pointment. He is one OF the most promi-
nent practitioners before the patent office
and Is past commander-in-chief of Span
fish War Veterans. He is nephew of the
late President Mckinley.
Mr.. Allen is at present or a visit to New
York, He is to become a member of the
firm of general law practitioners. and will
probably leave the city permanently about

The majority OF the newspapers express
the opinion that the occurrences here yes

government had allowed the workmen to

The opposition press is inclined to hold
the cabinet responsible for the arrogant at
tftude of the socialists. The Figaro says:
ut is dificult for government to defend
social order when several OF it's members
owe their political fortunes to the ardor
with which they attacked it In the past.
The surprising thing is that anarchy, after
the examples shown in high places. has not

Effects of Strike Far-Reaching.
BOSTON, Mass, May although the
officers of the coastwise liners running to
Boston who have already left or intend
to leave their ships do not number more
than fifty men, the effects of their strike
will be far more reaching. Much depends
upon the ability of the steamship lines to
provide substitutes. If they can do so, the
situation will be saved, but it is very doubt
full IL mates can be found to take the places
of those who struck.
On. the docks of the coastwise steamship
companies running to Boston are over 500
longshoremen, who will be thrown out of
work II the steamship lines cannot run
their ships. If they can run them with
nonunion officers the longshoremen are
likely to refuse to work upon the vessels,
as they are all union men.

SAN FRANCISCO. May AIT the end
of the first day of the strike of the unions
connected with the iron trades and metal
workers, the extent of the strike Is some
what uncertain. The iron trades council
stated last night that but $500 men were
idle in San Francisco and the bay cities,
while 1900 men employed in shops which
had granted an S-hour day were all at
work Members of the council asserted
that twenty-seven shops in this city and
twenty-one out of thirty-one in Oakland
had signed the new schedule. The metal
claimed that special committees had can
vassed the city yesterday and out of fifty
eight shops, foundries and works visited
fifty-three were found closed and 5000 men
out of work.
Among the large plants concerned are
the Union and Risdon iron works and the
Fulton iron works.
The officers of the association declare that
they could not compete on an eight-hour
day with the eastern iron works. whose
workmen work nine hours. but they offer
to grant an eight-hbur day II so per cent
of the eastern concerns do likewise
