OPPOSES GENERAL STRIKE
Russian Social Democratic Conference
Adjourns.

st. Petersburg, June 21.-The Social
Democratic conference, which has just
ended in Finland, adopted a resolution
against the proclamation of general
strike 1on the ground that an attempt
to walk out now would only play into
the hands of the government.
Many Of the Social Democratic dep
uties have returned to ST. Petersburg,
but several Others, including A. G..
Feedoroff Of Ryazan and M. M. Fo-
micheff OF Tauride, have been arrested
and incarcerated in the fortress of St.
Peter and st. Paul. The fortress is
crowded with high political prisoners,
even the soldiers barracks being given
over to the prisoners uses, tents be-
ing erected for the garrison.
Judging from the precedent Of the
signers of the Vihorg manifesto, whose
trials are announced to begin only
next month, the recently arrested So
cial Democratic deputies are facing a
long period Of preliminary imprison-

Chicago, June 20.-It was agreed be
Chicago, June Pit was agreed be
tween the attorneys in the Standard
Oil case that the information asked
for by Judge Lands relative to the
financial condition Of the Standard Oil
company shall be given by June &C.
Before this agreement was reached At
torney John S. Miller, acting for the
Standard Oil company, said:
'sWe do not desire to be misunder
stood in this matter Of agreeing upon
date We desire to have it under,
stood that we make no promises to
furnish that which the court has asked
from us and we reserve the~right to
oppose it. There is some question in
our minds as to the materiality, rel
evancy and propriety of the courts
action. Such an occasion as this has
never come within our experience
For the information of COUNSEL
said Judge Lands, II will say that it
has been the rule of this court to find
out the condition of a defendant to be
fined before imposing a penalty. Re
Gently considerable time was con.
sumed by this court in sitting out the
financial status of the church and
school furniture companies before the
fines were imposed"
"We are unable to see,'' said Attor.
ney Miller, swhy the wealth or poy-
erty Of a defendant is material when
it comes to deciding the guilt or limo

course our experience is very limited

S0CIALISTIC LEGISLATION.
Programme for Coming Session o
Australian Parliament.

Sydney, N. S. W., June 21.-On the
eve of socialistic legislation more pa
ternal than even Australia has hitherto
known Premier Carruthers announced
the plans for the next session Of par
lament. The programme embraces
pensions for invalids, subscriptions to
friendly societies and the establish
ment Of a system whereby the poorest
persons may purchase annuities
There is little doubt that the proposals
will be. adopted. The annuities will
be arranged by applicants opening ac-
counts in the government savings
banks and their deposits, by the aid
Of government subsidies, will draw
special rates of interest
Premier Carruthers justifies his pro-
posa1s by arguing that they tend to
upltft the community, swell the ranks
of the friendly societies, increase the
inducement to thrift and generally aid
in the battle against improvidence.'

A Fish Story.

The latest fish story concerns the
herring and sea gull, and it comes
from Nanaimo. A boat load of herring,
containing about fifteen tons, was left
at Johnstons wharf, Nanaimo, during
the noon hour while the fishermen
went to dinner. During their absence
several thousand sea gulls-the chron-
icler says 1O,OOO-ate all the fish on one
side Of the boat with such good results
that they emptied it, and when the last
herring had been removed from that
side it was like the last straw that
broke the cameYs back, for the boat,
with all the weight on the other side,
upset, splitting all the remaining t1sh
into the Shanghai Mercury.

was seated by her baby's cradle on the

'BL. OODSHED IN FRANCE
Serious Conflicts Between Troops
and RebeIlious Peasants.
SITUATION SEEMS CRITICAL

Three Persons Killed and One Hun
dred Injured at Narbonne-Presi-
dent Counternnands State Banquet
in Honor of the King of Siam.
Paris, June Flowing to the fact
that the censorship is in operation in
the South only brief items of news
from the scenes of the wine growers
demonstrations are reaching Paris.
These, however, show that the con-
flicts which have taken place between
the troops and mobs were more san
culinary than at first suspected.
At Narbonne three persons were
killed and fully 100 soldiers and civil
ians, including a score Of women, are
said to have been wounded, several Of
them sustaining fatal injuries. The
troops, who were ordered to fire in the
air, shot straight e the mob besieging
them in the courtyard of the sub-pre-
lecture.
A whole army corps has been put
in motion to deal with the rebellious
wine growers, but the government
claims that the forces now are so dis
tributed as to isolate the different sec
lions and render it practically impos-
sible to effect a general mobilization
of the disaffected people. Three of
the Argelliers committeeman who fed
to escape arsest have surrendered to
the authorities and were placed in
jail at Montpelier
1t is announced that the state ban
quet which was to have been given in
honor of the king Of Siam has been
countermanded in consequence of the
bloodshed in the south Of France.
Action Causes Excitement
The presidents decision created
some excitement and it emphasized
the gravity Of the situation.
The newspapers report another at
tempt to burn the sub-prefecture z-at
Narbonne A mob piled straw at the
gates and then set fire to it. Gen
darmes fired from the upper stories
and the attackers fed.
It is also announced that there has
been further shooting in the streets of
Narbcnne and many persons have
been wounded.
Narbonne is described as presenting
a remarkable spectacle after the
nights battle. The. paving stones
used in the assault on the troops en-
cumber the streets, the walls are
marked with bullets, windows are
broken and the cafes are wrecked, the
furniture having been used for build
ing barricades. Broken bottles used
as clubs litter the streets everywhere.
Many of the wounded are suffering
from shot wounds and saber gashes
or from fractured skulls or limbs.
There are no signs of the disorders
abating, but the overpowering mill
tary force keeps the people from as.
sembling in large numbers.
Many wine growers continue to pour
into Narbonne from the country dis
tricts and threaten to set fire to the
hotels occupied by the army officers.

What Is an Orator?

The true orator is the man who can
make people laugh, cry and feel what
he says. In truth, the genuine orator
is the man who has humor enough in
his soul to bring the smile to the face,
pathos enough in his heart to bring the
tear to the eye and dignity enough in
his bearing to persuade or move men.
He Is an exponent of the spoken word.
He is pilgrim moving toward the
home Of the ideal. He is the ernbodi-
ment of earnestness, enthusiasm and
eloquence. -Exchange
