education of children. Mr.. Kelly issued
q warning as to the effect which may be
produced upon infantile minds by re-
viewing the weekly efforts Of the "Kstz-
epianmer Kids" and "Happy Hooli-
gan" which he stated have become a
burden 10 the average intelligent reader
of the Sunday papers. "The perusal Of
such stuff as is to be found in the alleged
comic supplements is bound to have a
most harmful effect upon the minds OF

The Seamen,a Strike.

Paris, June 1.-The maritime strike
was the principal subject considered at a
meeting of the council of ministers today,
as the situation cansed by the refusal of
sesmen to man vessels in the merchant
marine is admitted to be serious.
Arrangements were made by the min
listers to continue the service by using
naval ships But the big subject of in
creasing the pensions for invaded sea-
men, which caused the strike, was not
considered. This leaves the big trans
atlantic companies powerless to resume
service. Just how badly they have been
hurt was shown by the fact that the Prov
ence was unable to sail from Havre this
morning, although she is q mail steamer.
No steps have been taken to assure the
resumption of mail service to the United

Croker and Irish Politics.

London, June Richard. Croker
may become the leader of the Irish ma
tiOnal party in Parliament. This sur
prising possibility was pointed out today
by one who is in close touch with the
politics of Ireland. Il ia thought he will
have little difficulty 10 replacing John
Redmond, the present leader in ParIa-
ment. Croker has lived in Ireland long
enough to be naturalized. 1t is pointed
out that by persuading some member to
resign it would be possible to put Croker
in Parliament within two months. He
is popular on account of his love for
Ireland.

EARTH's STORMS and tumulis, after a
short Jul, are becoming active again.
Oae hundred and seventeen thousand
men are on strike at French ports, and
shipping is virtually at a standstill'
Thousands of emigrsnts on their way to

different ports with virtually no money
and unable to speak the language Of the
country in which they are forced to re-
main. Unless the trouble between the
men and their employers is quickly set
tied, disorders are inevitable. While
such grave conditions confront people on
the continent of Europe, unrest in Asia
is causing anxiety not only 10 storm
tossed China, but to many in other coun-
tries who are interested commercially in
In, celestial empire. The uprising in the
Il VERY kingdom is gathering force daily,

The Revolt In China Growing.

Hong Kong, June !. Three provinces
are now affected by the Chinese revolt
and the uprising is growing every day.
Conservative estimate of the armed rebels
the number at so, 900.
Kisng 81 is the latest province to be
affected. A message from Nan.Ngan
today says that an outbreak has occurred
forty miles north of that city. Only
officials were attacked. 1t is reported q
dozen civil and military authorities and
their families were killed.
Kwang 81 province is also threatened
with a serious revolt. The southern
boundary Of the province is close to
Lien-Chow, where there was violent
outbreak early in the week, resulting
in an attack on German mission sta
ton.
At Pskhoi, the port Of Lien Chow, all
white women have been ordered away
by the British consul. Every white
man in the city has been pressed into
service to stand guard over the consul
lates.
In Kwang-Tuug province, where the
uprising started, the situation is re-
ported as growing grayer all the time.
Practically the entire coast from here 10
Annoy is now patrolled by launches and
small steamers ready to succor the
needy in case of an attack. Vessels
stopping at the ports in this vicinity are
being watched.
Alarming reports continue to reach
here of the depredstions Of the 60, 900
armed rebels. Practically the whole
southern part Of Fokiue province is said
to be controlled by them.
Annoy June, Chang Chow, "a
miles from this city, is now threatened
with attack by the rebellious Triads. 1t
is believed the greater part of the army
of the 10000 men collect to the south
Of Annoy yesterday has started toward
Chang Chow. It is one of the largest
cities 10 this part of China, having a
population estimated at nearly 1000
600 people. If captured it will there
fore prove au important advantage to
the rebels who can undoubtedly secure
many recruits there. The United States
gun boat Helena has arrived and war
ships of other nations are expected
shortly. 1t is believed Annoy can easily
be defended from attack if the rebels
try TO capture the CITY,

Predict Federal Control.

Universal control of the railroads of
the United States by the federal govern
ment was predicted in Chicago yesterday
by the big railroad men and railroad at
torneys.
Within the present generation, it was
DECEASED by the railroad operators, the
railroad lines Of the country would be
run under the regulation of the United
States government. Almost without ex-
cep!ion railroad attorneys agreed with
the views presented by President RoOse-
welt in bis Decoration Day speech at
indianapolis.
"The time is not far distant when
every railroad of the country will be I'M
der the control of the United States. 1t
will not be many years before railroad
ticket will be purchased like 2-cent
stamp. A universal rate will be accord
ed to every one. Nospecial rate, passes
or rebates will be granted, and every
railroad in the United States will be
working on a fair and equal basis that
will mean good returns for every inves'
tor interested" was the declaration OF
one big railroad man who is connected
with number of lines. "Tbis will be
the ultimate result Of the present agita-
lion in the country"
Railroad officials declare that it is ODly
right that big railroads, covering miles
of territory and extending through many
States, should fall under the direction
and jurisdiction of the government, in.
stead of being subject TO the control Of
State government.
