CHICAGO. H., Aug. THE impress
sion was strong today that peace would
be maintained between the street car
company and its employees. President
Mitten of the Chicago City railway in
timated that he was willing to grant the
required advance III wages provided the
men would sign a three years contract.
President Roach of the north and west
side lines stated that he would go as far
as Mr.. Mitten in this direction. Motor
men and conductors interviewed seemed
jubiiant over prospects of peace. They
had voted to stand by the demands
made upon the companies" but it is said
without any real idea that a strike would
become necessary Mr. Mitten was at
his office early prepared to meet a com
mittee representing the men of his road

EARLY LETTER ON THE UNION.
DR.. Rush Feared II TOO quick Peace

with England Would lie Harmful.
One of the finest specimens of let
ters in a recent sale of autographs by
Stan " Henkels in Philadelphia was
written on April Is, 1892, by Dr. Ben
jamin Rush, a signer of the declara-
ton of independence, to Maj Zen.
Nathaniel Greene, says the New York
Times
DR. Rush was physician-general of
the revolutionary army also. He prac-
ticed his profession in Philadelphia
and during the yellow fever epidemic
there in 1888 he treated 1t success
fully and 1t has been estimated that
he saved from death no less than
5000 persons.
He was firm supporter Of the fed
eral constitution and his letter Is
chiefly about that subject. He says:
1T is true France has done wonders
for us. But may not even this have
a beneficial effect on our country here
after 1t seems intended by heaven 20

union and confederation. If the com
bined force of all the States was I'M

sources of any one of them? | am so
perfectly satisfied that the future
peace, safety, freedom OF America
depend upon our union that |
view the debt Of our country

OF it we owe to ourselves.
Our danger at present arises
principally from two causes. First,
too speedy peace with Britain, and,
second, from Britain's acknowledging
our independence. l wish the first

as a land war has given us armies and
generals. The last event would I'M

vent this and enable us to transmit
our feeling to posterity, | wish Brit
ain for fifty years to come may con-
tinue in all her acts Of government to
call us rebels and 'deluded subjects
We stand in need of all the folies
and vices of our enemies to give us
national character"
On Sept 23, 1888, the deinitive
treaty of peace was signed by which
the independence of the thirteen
| United States was acknowledged by
Great Britain. 1t was not, however,
until after Jays treaty in 1894 that
this original treaty of peace was fully

In twenty years-between 1873 and

The loss Of cargo in this period of
