ONE IMPORTANT FEATURE.
Under the Law Strike Breakers Can
not Be Imported Into Canada.

st. Paul, Aug. with 5000 skilled
mechanics on strike, due TO the walk
out of the machinists and other en-
ployes in the company's shops, agents
of the Canadian Pacific railroad are
holding out inducements to men in
Canada and the United States TO fill
places of the strikers.
But St. Paul labor agencies have
given out the statement that it will be
practically impossible for any men to
go from here, and the local labor
agencies propose 10 take no chances
with the Canadian alien labor act. Ac-
cording TO this law, no strike breakers
can be imported into Canada, the act
prescribing a penalty of $1,000 fine for
each violation, with deportation of the
strike-breaker as an added penalty.

Thought to Be Candidate.

At one time the head of the treasury
department was credited in political
circles with being an aspirant for. the
Republican nomination, and he was
thought to be favored by some of the
state leaders who have opposed the re-
nomination of Hughes. He could not
be seen here today, and Mr.. Hitchcock
declined to say what was talked about
beyond admitting that he heard great
deal more about the state question. He
declared that he did not express an
opinion nor offer a suggestion on the
subject himself. and that his part was
that of a listener.

Opposition to Hughes.

Representative Bennett and Repre-
sentative Parsons, the latter chairman
of the New York country Republican
committee, were with Mr.. Hitchcock for
some time, their mission being the dis
cussion of the gubernatOrial nOmina-
ton.
Mr.. Hitchcock said that every day
brings a large amount of correspond
ence on the subject of the governor
ship. So far as can be learned the gov
ernor has not sent any delegations 10
national headquarters to speak in his
behalf.
Many Callers.
Several parts of the country were
heard from today by Mr.. Hitchcock.
He received a call from James C. Nc
Cleary, second assistant postmaster
general, who is a candidate in Mime
sofa for denomination by the Repub-
lican party for the house of representa-
tiVes. Mr.. McCleary said that he was
confident that the Republican state
ticket would be elected in Minnesota
this fall and that each congressional
district would send a Republican to
Washington. He expressed the opinion
that Governor Johnson would not again
take the Democratic nomination
They Want Money.
Representative {. B. Slemp, the only
Republican congressman from Virginia,
was at headquarters with Representa-
tive George A. Pearre of Maryland.
Both of these southern memeers of
congress urged that work be done in
their states and that particular atten-
ton be given to certain congressional
districts where they said the party had
excellent chances of winning.
Charles p. Taft of Cincinnati, brother
of the Republican nominee, was one of
the first callers at headquarters today.
He had a long talk with the chairman
and then met the local newspaper men.
He was greatly amused at their pointed
questions concerning the cost of run
ming a campaign, but would not tell
how much it was costing him. He par
ried the questions good naturally and
with great success. He expressed the
opinion that Ohio was surely Repub-
lican.

Praises English Jurisprudence.

Elbridge L, Adams of Rochester,
n. Y, lawyer, who has made a study
of British jurisprudence, surprised his
colleagues at the annual meeting of
the New York State Bar association
when he made comparison between
the American and English methods of
legal procedure. He asserted that %
judges of the supreme court of Eng
land, with a population of 32000,000,
disposed of as much business each
year as SO judges of the supreme court
in New York state, with population
of 100000. In addition to this said
Mr.. Adams, these English judges do
just as much work as the federal
judges in New York state. The OBJ
ject of the English rules is to provide
the best, the quickest and the simplest
methods"

1t has often been asked why Secre.
tary Taft refused to agree to n com
promise with Mr.. Foraker. The Sec
retary offered to use all of his influ-
ence to prevent his friends from work
ing against Mr.. Foraker's reelection
to the Senate, but declined to ask his
friends to help Mr.. Foraker to gain
reelection. This proposition Mr.. For.
aker declined The Secretary then
said that he stood for the precise OPP
poslte of that for which Mr.. Foraker
stood. He stood for President Roose-
velt's policies, Mr. Foraker stood OPP
posed to them. He could not make
an alliance with an out spoken oppo.
nent of those policies without deserv-
ng to be called mere time server.
Mr.. Foraker then declared it would
be 'war to the knife" between them,
and it has been but Mr.. Foraker has

1t is a matter of extreme chagrin
to the President that a certain trad
ing company is exerting its influence
in Congress to prevent his being able
to keep his promise and relinquish
S13,000,000 of the S24,000,o00 which
China obligated herself to pay to the
United States as damages growing out
of the Boxer uprising. The claim Of
this company, and that of all others
who suffered damages as result of
the Boxer troubles, was adjudicated
by the Department of State; it's alleg-
ed damages were scaled from S400,
600 to 100000 and the matter was,
presumably, closed six years ago.
Now the company is using it's inAu-
ence in the House to prevent passage
of the measure authorizing the Presi-
dent to make good his promise.

The monk who acts as guide to the
many people that visit the old mis-.
sion at Santa Barbara, Cal. is pic.
turesque and interesting figure. In
his brown robe OF heavy, coarse mate
rial, a rosary hung at the cord belt,
and the cowl thrown back from his
closely cropped head, he is in strange
contrast to the fashionably dressed
visitors. He shows pardonable pride
in the mission and all its contents.
The curiosities which remain from the
time of Mexican rule in California. the
exquisite drawn-work altar cloths and
the mural decorations are pointed out
in manner approaching reverence.
Although he is occasionally inexact in
his descriptions, he is sincere, and
his naivete is so amusing that it
would be carping, small-souled critic
that would take issue with him.
Concerning one of the paintings in
the church, he once said to a party
of tourists:
This is a picture of the Virgin
Mary, painted from life by Murillo."

Great Water Power in Brazil.

Consul George A. Chamberlain of
Pernambuco sends a comprehensive
description of the Paulo Alfonso fails
and the San Francisco river, situated
in that part of Brazil The falls are
230 miles from either Pernambuco,
which has population of 100000, or
Bahia, with 100000 people. The aver
age volume of the river is 1000 cubic
meters lone cubic meter-35.316 cubic
feet) per second, and between Jatoba
and Piranhas, distance of about 65
miles, the fall is 756 feet, 400 of which
takes place in the rapids, extending
about Is miles. This vast undeveloped
water power will become in time the
nucleus of a great industrial circle. A
new cotton mill is being erected near
Penedo, and there are a few other
small factories using this power, but
these little establishments are almost
nothing compared to the industries
which the great river should foster.

Flrz SHOWS KNOCKOUT PUNCH.
Ruby Robert Gives Demonstration
Much to His Sorrow.

Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons is al.
ways ready and willing to illustrate
before sporting men just how he
knocked Jim Corbett out at Carson
City with his memorable solar plexus
punch. Not so many years ago his
former manager, Percy Williams, now
a well-known theatrical magnate,
asked Fltz to show a number of
friends Just how Corbett was ami
hilated. Robert was in fine form
then, as he was training for fight
at the time.
He promptly complied with the re-
quest by calling upon Reggy Williams,
brother of his manager, to stand up
and be victim. Reggy. however,
had been there before and knew the
power of the. Cornishnan' blows, so
he was not overeager to take part in
the exhibition. So he said to Robert
Wait a minute. Bob, until | go and
get stiff bracer. for / need courage"
"All right" replied Fitzsimmons.
with a grin, but hurry" Reggy
stepped over to the bar. took nip,
anu tHSu plChluS up d JIlCh UOdTu lie
Slipped ii under his vest Then he
came back with the remark:
Go ahead, Bob, but not too hard"
Fitz jumped about, feinting and
sparring off like a real fighter. Then
Robert shot out his terrible left and
hit the mark with crash. 1t sounded
like blow on board fence with
sledge hammer, and, though Williams
was knocked down, he jumped up
quickly and laughed until his sides
shook. Fitz was dancing around on
one foot, with his left hand under his
arm and look of intense pain on his
face.
What's the matter, Bob?" asked
Percy Williams, who was next to the
trick.
Whats the matter?" roared the
angry Cornishman why, me bloom
ing and is smashed That funny
brother of yours as a sheet of iron
under his vest!"
Fitz was a mark then for a lot of
guying, but the joke was serious
one, for his left hand was in poultices
for six weeks.

Animals Without Moral Sense.

Prof. Schuster asserts that animals
lack moral feeling entirely, none of
their acts being immoral or moral, in
the broad sense, and that they have no
trace of a sense of shame or of honor
Their courage, he declares, is "a mere
impulse of nature" and of moral cour-
age they know nothing. He continues:
And animals have no pride, in the
sense of mans conception of that
quality. They are not proud of their
kind, of their kindred, of their indi-
viduality. They neither have an in
dividuality nor are individual. Ami
mails are not proud because they have
no consciousness of the scope of the
value of their kind, of their enterprise
or of any other form of their capabil-
ity; they are neither supercilious,
proud, nor the contrary, that is,
grieved, wounded or depressed in re
gard to a possible pride"
