London, October 2S.-With the rail-
road workmen of the United Kingdom
threatening a general strike and the
laborers in other trades and indus

land is apparently facing the most
serious industrial crisis in many
years. With the members of the
Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser

until the union is recognized, it only
remains for the railway companies to
decide whether or not they will COM
ply with the demands made. The
Society of Engine Drivers and Fire
men and other affiliated railway or
CARNATIONS have voted to back up the
Amalgamated society, and sympathe-
tic strikes would probably be numer

organization become involved in 6

concerning the deliberations OF the |
congress were sent out by the various
American and European neWs-gather-
ing organizations. OF this total, 80
900 words were sent out on June 10,
the opening day. AS illustrating the
superiority of the American press,
more words were filed for cable dis
patch by the news-gathering associa-
lions and newspapers of the United
| States than by those of all other
nations combined. Compared with the
newspapers of the United States, the
English press published only COM
paratively small amount of matter
concerning the congress, despite the
fact that the cable rate to the United
States is many times that of the rate
to England. The newspapers OF
France were second in the list, and,
next to the United States, had more
and better correspondents than other
nations.

AMERICAN DELEGATION WILL
SAIL THIS WEEK.
Delegates Pretend to Be Satisfied With
the Work, but 1t Is Not What Was
Expected and There Is General
Disappointment.
Associated Press.

London, October 2S.-Several of the
American delegates, attaches and
newspaper correspond ents at The
Hague peace conference are now in
London and will sail for home this
week. James Brown Scott and wife
will sail from Liverpool for New
York tomorrow Mr.. Choate, his wife
and daughter and Chandler Hale, son
of Senator Hale of Maine, who has
acted as secretary of the United States
delegation, will sail from Southamp-
ton on Wednesday on the steamship
Cecilia. General Horace Porter, Rear
Admiral Charles S. Sperry and wife
and William l. Buchanan and wife
will take the same steamer from
Cherbourg
While the American delegates have
formally expressed themselves as
satisfied with the work of the con-
! ference, there is general agreement
among the other Americans who have
) watched the proceedings at The
Hague closely that the congress has
been a failure. While something has
| been done to ameliorate the horrors
t of warfare, it is agreed that nothing
! has been accomplished toward abol
+ ishing war itself. Those who look
e upon war is necessary evil, as some
n thing that has always existed and al
C ways will exist, find plenty of warrant
l. for their opinion in the deliberations
8 of the recent congress. Those who
p look upon the matter in an unpre
$ JUDGED light agree that the failure t.
take an advance step toward eliminat
ing warfare was due largely to thu
German, English and American dele
gates. The former persistently OF
posed and INSTRUCTED the advancement
= of all humane projects, and the dele
gates from Great Britain and tn
y United States were jointly responsible
in failing to agree upon common
basis of action.

him. Acquaintances say they have

body in the trunk had been dead

Mrs. Covington was the daughter

all of the Administration. We know
that the Standard Oil banks have
large government deposits, without
interest, and when the names OF
the ather subscribers are diwllged
there will probably be no difficulty
in tracing favus received. Does
not this evidence of the trusts
and corporations having paid these
large sums to the Roosevelt cam
paign fund plainly show that the
charge made by Judge Parker just
before the election of 1904 was
true although President Roosevelt
denied it. Yet no restitution OF
the widows and orphans funds has
ever been made by the Republican
National Committee, and President
Roosevelt has never made the
amende honorable to Judge Parker
or even a poor excuse which would
be better than none. 1t is quite
probable that the same bastard
tactics will be resorted to in com
ing elections and this evidence of
Republican corruption and dishonor
is produced to prevent voters from
being again deceived in the same
or some similar manner. When you
see or hear of large amounts of
money being expended at some fu-
ture election, just ask yourself the
question. Where and how did they
