for the factory system cannot be
worked out, except in industrial CEN
tiers where skilled artisans are to be
had by thousands, at moderate
wage.
The same drift has been manifested
in Germany ever since she became a
serious rival of England in the
worlds trade. The tide may turn in
the near future, if the strain on the
urban population becomes more and
more intense; but for the present the
average man is out of love with the
soil and dreams of the opportunities
which the metropolis is supposed to
afford.
Now the drift toward the cities and
towns affects our civilization in two
ways. In the first place, the difficulty
of feeding the congested masses
grows with each year. AS Mr.. Hill and
other students of the subject have
shown, the high cost OF food is due, in
large degree, to the fact that the con-
sumers are in an overwhelming ma
jority.
A metropolis like New York would
starve in a week if left to feed itself,
and Great Britain would at once be in
state of siege if she lost command
Of the sea. 1t may be said that the
modern system is better, because it
is cheaper, in the end; but cheapness
is not the sole criterion, for the man
or the race.
And, surely, no race can be quite
content to see itself dependent upon
the outcome of foreign harvests or
the issue of foreign war. Nor will the
farmers prosperity last if excessive
cost of food usher in an era of bread
riots and revolutionary unrest. AS
matters stand, a widespread crop fail
ure would mean for the chief nations
just w1lat the failure of the potato
crop meant for Ireland. Even with
good crops and general peace, the sit
uation is now terribly acute.

AMERICANS EXPLOITING
NICARACUAN FINANCES

Washington, June 26.-In the SEN
he had been informed that a syndi-
cate has been organized in the Unit
ed States to exploit the finances OF
Nicaragua and that the syndicate had
been represented in Washington by
a former high official in the state de
partment.
The statement followed his intro
duction of a resolution directing the
committee on foreign relations TO
make a general investigation as to
the relations between the United
States and Nicaragua. He said:
Il have looked into this affair with
care, and want to say l have found
numerous things most astounding. /
have discovered that the government
of Madriz maintains customary diplo-
matte relations with practically every
government of the world except the
United States. | am unable to dis
cover any sound reason why this gov
eminent should not do the same
Referring to the contention that
this government is protecting Ameri-
can interests in Nicaragua, Mr.. Stone
said the chief interest of American
citizens were those of Americans To-
Gated at Bluefelds, who are con-
cerned in enterprises of doubtful
character, while the only American
citizens to be protected were adven.
turers who had cast their fortunes
with the revolutionary army under

BANDITS KILL TWO,
FLEE WITH CASH
POSSE PURSUES AND ONE SUI
CIDES, TWO COMPANIONS
CAPTURED.

Lynn, Mass, June 26.-Three ban
dts, armed with automatic magazine
revolvers, Saturday shot and killed
Thomas A. Langregan, shot manufac-
facturer, fatally wounded Policeman
James H. Carroll and ran away with
a bag containing $4,000 which the
manufacturer the a policemen were
taking from the bank to Langregan's
shot factory for the weekly payroll.
Carroll died shortly afterward.
An hour after the robbery, one ban
dit had committed suicide, the second
was in a hospital with five wounds in
him, and the third was under arrest.
All but 81 of the money stolen was
recovered. The bandits are Russian
years of age. The murder occurred
on busy street yesterday morning,
the robbers approaching the victims
from behind and two began firing a
short distance from the bank. Lam
gregan fell dead and the policeman
dropped unconscious. The third rob-
Der seized the money bag and ran UP
the street followed by his companions
who fired repeatedly to ward off pur-
suit. Hundreds, however, started in
the chase. In front of the home of
Miss Bessie Baker the bandits seized
a morse being held by a groom.
Miss Baker, hearing the disturb
ance, ran out of the house, threw hel
arms around the horses neck and
held on. The bandits thereupon ran.
Further up the street the bandits
stopped long enough to divide the
money and separate Meanwhile the
police had thrown a Gordon around
the city.
One bandit was caught in thicket
and exchanged shots with the officers.
then shot himself in the brain The
body showed FIVE wounds The sec
ond surrendered nearby after recerv-
ing many wounds. He said his name
was Andy Alison of New York. PROP
ably he will die. The third was taken
without struggle and gave his name
as Beacon Wladopski Neither would
give the name of the dead man.

MAKES
PEACE WITH JOHN |.
EXTENDS WARM WELCOME TO
OLD FIGHTER AND BREACH
CLOSES.

Reno, June 26.-Peace was declared
between John L. Sullivan and Jeffries'
camp Saturday. John l.. made a Sec
ond trip to MOana Springs. There
following a reconciliation with Cor
bett, he shook hands with Jeffries, and
the breach between the famous ring
men closed.
81 guess everything is all right
now,'' said the old fighter, as he
grasped Corbett's outstretched hand.
Sure" was the quick reply.
Sullivan found Jeffries in the rub
bling room. The big fellow held his
hand in welcome, and John L. shook
it warmly, as he said: Hello, young
fellow, by heavens, you are looking
great"
And l am strong, too," Jeffries
told him. Then for a quarter of an
hour they talked about the battle or
the by-gone day, and after another
handshake all around, Sullivan re-.
turned to Reno Muldoon, Choyinski
and Richard all claim the honor OF
bringing about the reconciliation.
Jeffries, after light work in the
morning, went fishing.
Johnson worked hard most of the
day.
New York, June 26.-Betting Sat-
urday at Tom Sharkey's was ten to
seven on Jeffries.

II am inclined to believe that the
principal American interests con-
cerned in this controversy relate to
speculative advances made by certain
Americans on a speculative basis TO
the revolutionary forces, and still
more TO the point, the interest OF
syndicate of American financiers and
bankers, organized with a view to ex-
plotting and funding the public debt
of Nicaragua and other Central Amer
lean countries, somewhat on a line
upon which the debt of Santo Domin-
go was managed and disposed Of My
information is that former high
official of the state is representative
in Washington of that syndicate In
this story be really true, and l fear
there is too much truth in it for the
good of our country-then there are
millions in it for somebody"
Chairman Cullom, of the committee
on foreign relations, said that the
secretary of state has made full ana
and satisfactory explanation to the
committee. He announced his disbe-
lief that anyone connected with the
state department had been guilty on
any wrong doing
The resolution was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs.
Secretary Knox last night promptly
declared that he knew of the exist
ence of no such syndicate and was
certain that no such proposition ever
had been laid before him or even
discussed.

The block signal statistics also are
an interesting commentary on the de-
velopment of safety appliance. The
total length of road in the United
States, operated under the block sig

In the west both the telephone and

the telephone. Within almost one year
the Santa Fe has installed the system
between Kansas City and Newton,
and now is operating the system on
both the cutoff and main lines. The
Frisco mas installed this modern
method of handling trains between
Kansas City and Springfield. All

able extensions of the service for
1910, which will be carried out unless
the officials deem it an unwise ex-
penditure In view of the recent in

Tibetan Troubles.

The British officials in India hold them
selves in readiness to dispatch a large
force of troops to Gyantse to support
the British agency ct that point In case
the disturbances In Tibet progress fur
Their. Ever since the Chinese last Feb
ruary entered Lassa the Tibetans have
been truculent and uneasiness has been
felt for the safety of the British station
esta blished after the Younghusband ex-
petition of 1894. Not alone do the diff
culties arise from Tibetan unrest, but
apparently, judging from the dispatches.
there is uneasiness at Calcutta regarding
the activities of the Chinese themselves,
who have become very busy Of late on
the extreme frontier, massing troops at
several points and giving the British
government occasion to wonder at the
possible meaning of these movements.
Doubtless diplomatic exchanges between
London and Picking will result in formal
assurances from the Chinese government
of an intention strictly to respect the
frontiers. No purpose to invade India
can of course be conceived. But England
will doubtless desire to be treasured be-
yond cavil that there is no possibility of
disturbances in Tibet which will excite
trouble in Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkm.
