WALL STREET IS
UNHAPPY
Good Deal of Confusion in
Webbing Industrial
Prospects.

New York, July 25.-Incidents of
last week serevd to keep the atten-
ton of financial markets to unfavor-
able features in the conditions Of
business and to unsettle the specula-
tive tone in the stock market.
The osetting advantage of the
large yield promised for other grains
notably corn and winter wheat, has
neutralized the influence of the
spring wheat shortage. The import
ance attached to this oset came into
view in the manifestation of anxiety
over less favorable reports during
the week from the corn belt and the
need of rain to carry out the promise
for the crop.
There was a good deal of confu-
sion in the reading of the industrial
prospect. A rise in the price of the
copper industrials was based nomi-
nally on reports of an agreement
among the principal producers to
curtail output to the limit of the
present demand, which is large in
itself These reports were subject
to the usual suspicion of design for
eect on the stock market. The sus-
picion was heightened by the unex-
pected reduction in the dividend on
National Lead stock and the violent
decline in the price of that security
which resulted.
Strong forces are at work to build
up the reserve strength of the New
York banks, but the banking position
in the country at large remains open
to discussion.

WAR AGAINST ANTI
LABOR S0L0NS
Program is Indicated by Ap-
peal Sent Out by Order
of Seamen.

New York, July 25.-That organ
lied labor proposes to wage active
warfare against all senators and rep
resentatives who voted at the last
session of congress for a resolution
which included in it's objects the
prosecution of organizations under
the Sherman antitrust law, was in
Dictated Sunday by an appeal sent
out by the International Seaman's
Union. In this appeal the members
of congress who voted for the meas
ure are denounced as public enc
mics, and particularly those repre-
sentatives who acquiesced in the &C
ton of the senate in increasing the
appropriation from 100000 to
100000.
Labor Sought Exemption.
The appeal reviews at length the
efforts of Representative Hughes OF
New Jersey to have labor unions ex-
empted from prosecution on account
of strikes or boycotts and his defeat,
and goes on:
THE labor movement now knows
where it is at The action of con-
gress means more prosecutions of
labor organizations under the anti
trust act. In word this action
means that the labor unions have
been outlawed. So much for the ac-
ton of congress. How about the ac-
tion of the labor movement? How
about the action of the public?
Must Meet the Issue.
The pro-injunctionists, headed
by the President of the United States
have furnished the sinews of war for
the destruction of the labor move
ment by the confiscation of it's funds
and the Imprisonment of it's offic-
ials. No greater crime was ever per-
petrated on any cause or any people.
Now that the facts are known we
feel confident that the issue will be
squarely met by the labor move
ment and the public"
1t is said that similar appeals will
be sent out by other labor organiza-
tions and that the entire crusade
has the approval of President Com
pers and the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor.

JUMP FALLS
Big Fish eLaping High in the Tum-
water Canyon.

Sockeye salmon of large size are
appearing in great numbers up the
Wenatchee river For the past three
weeks they have vainly tried to jump
the falls in the Tumwater Canyon
above Leavenworth. These falls are
about II feet high. The fish leap
out of the water six and seven feet
only to fall back again. This sight
may be witnessed every evening.
The fish do not rise much during the
heat of the day.

Grand Trunk Resumption

NO ONE WAS KILLED
A Special Sidetrack Saves
Train From Disaster
at Index.

Going down through the Cascade
Tunnel yesterday, a freight train
rushed with terrific speed and was
saved from going over the embank-
ment by running on the sidetrack
at the end of the tunnel. The train
men lost control of the freight while
going down the grade in the tunnel,
and it came out with such speed
that if it had not been for the side
track it would have met the fate as
did another freight train number
of years ago. which went crashing
over the cliffs and down into the
canyon below.
AS it happened only the engines
were thrown from the track and
fourteen box cars, most of which
were loaded with lime. The cars
were piled up along the track and
no one on the train were killed.
1t will be remembered that a few
years ago freight train coming
from the Cascade tunnel came with
such momentum that it shot out of
the tunnel like ball out of a can
non and crashed down into the can
yon below, killing everyone on the
train.
Wreck Near SkykOmish.
A second wreck occurred near
Skykomish when an engine went off
the track and tore up the rails and
ties for some distance. AS a result
OF the two wrecks, No. &c was de-
layed for six hours.

Plans FOR
WORLD PEACE.

Theodore Roosevelt's address at
Christiania. Norway, before the Nobel
prize committee on international peace
Is a contribution to the movement away
from the settlement OF international
disputes BY war which Is already re-
eeiving worldwide comment Mr.
.RooseveIt's suggestions are made by
him as "a practical man" and they are
neither indefinite nor ChimericaL II
adopted they would undoubtedly 90 far
TO stop war between civilized nations.
Briefly, Mr.. Roosevelt proposes more
arbitration treaties; the further de
'velopmeut OF The Hague tribunal, in
Guiding acceptance of the American pro
posaI for an international court Of
arbitral justice; limitation Of arma-
ments. especially naval ornaments, by
international agreement; creation Of a
League of Peace" the nations in the
league not only TO keep the peace them
selves. but TO compel, by force If neces-
sary, other nations to keep the peace
None of these propositions is i'm
practicable, and their advocacy by a
man Ike Roosevelt. who has never been
accused of not being willing TO fight,
viii inevitably have its effect IN pro
noting thought and effort along these
or similar lines
The most striking suggestion made
Is one for the League Of Peace among
leading nations. This suggestion, it Is
true. Is not new nor original with Mr.,
Roosevelt. But new interest Is likely
TO be aroused in 1t by the ciroum-
stances of its advocacy
What would it mean for the peace
Of nations If, for example, the United
! States, Great Britain, and Japan OF
/ Germany entered into a compact not
TO fight among themselves and to force
other civilized nations to refrain from
I fghtingg What combination could
Withstand such an inflUenceE
But, after all, encouraging as Is the
course Of Roosevelt IN urging peace, II
cannot be forgotten that, throughout
what ne SAYS, Is the note that, as con
/ ditions are now, nations must hold
themselves IN readiness for war If need
be. War Is still far from being ban
ished from the earth, and Mr. Roose
welt recognizes this fact.

THREE IMPORTANT DISTRICT
TAX QUESTIONS.

Three questions concerning taxes in
the District are OF particular import
ance at this time. and should be thor
oughly investigated by the Congress
sionaI committee which Is to conduct
an inquiry into our taxation system.
They are:
First-The taxation Of real estate.
SeCond-The taxation of public serv-
ice corporations
Third-The listing OF Intangible,
personal property tstOcks. bonds, and
Inortgages) for assessment
Justly OF unjustly, 1t has been pub
licly Stated that owners Of large tracts
of land and valuable homes IN the Dis
trict OF Columbia do not pay taxes on as
high an assessment, relatively, as the
owners of small pieces Of land OF
houses and lots
The subcommittee Of the House Dis
trict Committee. which Is TO investigate
our taxation system, should 60 TO the
bottom OF these charges. and Congress
should adopt whatever means may be
necessary to assure the greatest possible
degree OF justice II they are found TO
be true If they are not true, we want
to know II. so that we can shut the
mouths Of those who, through igHor-
ance OF prejudice, have been malign-

It has also been charged that the

penses- Their contributions for the
fiscal year 1909 were as follows:

Old Rule Forgotten.

THAT old and time honored rule Of
[ the United states Senate which in

more. No longer do those young states
men with burning thoughts and militant
ideas sit calmly through six improbable
vears-waiting their turn TO take part
in Senate deliberations
The beginning Of Republican insur-
gency really marked the passing of the
old order Of business. It IS true that
fifteen or mere years ago Senator Till
man shocked the Senate by making his
initial speech soon after his arrival in
washington, but that did not inaugur-
ate the new era
Then. too, Il is remembered that soon
after his election Senator Beveridge
rushed into Senatorial debate and de-
livered an impessioned but patriotic
speech. For iris, the late and vener-
able Senator Pettus OF Alabama admin
istered a rebuke which lives yet as a
classic.
