THE New York Herald, that has
done more than any other Journal IN
the country to encourage the iayhc-
jAldrich reactionarics i'll Congress a'''i
to throw cold water on reform oi Inc
tariff, is tremendously aroused by the
new treasury regulations regarding I'M
portation of textiles. Among other
things it says that if defeated by an
amendment of the regulations the man-
ufacturers concerned will endcavor to
find some new way of cuchrlng foreign
trade and of squeezing the American
consumer" What is strange. says the
Philadelphia Record, is that the great
journal of the commercial metropolis
has failed to recognize that this is III
the very spirit of the policy 1t has en-
couraged. Probably Il new light has
now dawned upon Herald Square.

Fear to Invite Roosevelt to Speak.

Pottsyiile. Pa, Sept. 10.-Although
A committee was appointed to invite
Theodore Roosevelt to attend and adj
dress the convention Of the Republican
League of State Clubs, which meet
here next week, it has Just become
known tina, the invitation was never
extended. The reason for this is now
said To he that Roosevelt's denuncia-
ton of the New York republican state
machine so closely applied to local con-
ditions that the public was apt to think
his meaning applied TO the state and
county machines of Pennsylvania. In
stead OF inviting Roosevelt, his son-in-
law. Congressman Longworth, has
been asked to attend. Longworth is
considered much safer and saner than
the .ex-president from the. machine
standpoint

ONE BABY FOR A PIC.

The Winnipeg Tribune last night
published a story of a Russian woman,
living few miles north of the city,
who gave birth to twins yesterday
afternoon. The husband was greatly
offended at the dual arrival, and with
out the consent Of his wife traded one
OF them off with neighbor for young
pig. A police constable then stepped
into the game and called the trade oil,
making the father of the twins take
back the pig and receive in return the
baby. 1t is understood that the family
will be deported.
The Tribune" says: This is one OF
the unfortunate instances where the
strict divorce laws OF the country pre-
vent decent woman from separating
herself legally from something resemb-
ling in appearance onlya human being. "

Situation Grave.
London, Sept. 1O.-A national strike
of unprecedented proportions is inn
pending. Labor leaders are agreed to-
day that the relations between capital
and labor in England are worse than
they have ever been.
Yesterdays reputation by the men
Of the bolermakers' union Of the peace
efforts of their leaders in the dispute
with the shipbuilding employers fede-
ration has emphasized the gravity OF
the situation. 1t means the indefinite
prolongation Of the lockout OF $4,000
boilerlnakers, with an additional l00,-
600 men thrown out OF employment.
A general stoppage Of work III the Lam
cashrc cotton industry is threatened as
a result OF sectional disputes, and it is
feared that 10000 cotton workers will
strike or be locked out by October ],
and that 500, 900 will eventually become
involved.
Twelve thousand miners at Cardiff
are on the verge OF striking.and if they
90 out they will soon be followed by
Welsh miners. In addition to all these
troubles. the employees Of the Great
Northern Railway are hopelessly dis
satisfied with the administration Of
the affairs Of their union. They may
strike any day.
All over England the rank and
file of the union men are showing
defiance OF their leaders, the spirit OF
strike apparently being in the air.
The situation Is such that the govern
ment leaders make no conCealmcnt Of
their alarm and are preparing to call
into conference the labor leaders and
heads Of the disaffected industries.

TRADES WHITE
FOR RED HOSE
Commy Gives Purtell and
Smith for Lord and
Mcconnell.

Frank Smith and Billy Purtell are
White Sox no longer. In thei rplaces
are Harry Lord and Ambrose McCon-
nell, late of the Boston Red Sox.
This trade. one of the biggest of the
season, was announced yesterday after
a long conference between President
Comiskey of the White Sox and Presi-
dent Taylor of Boston. Smith and Pur-
tell will accompany the Speed BOYS
when they leave for st. Louis tonight,
that is, if Smiths foot is strong enough
to enable him to travel. Mcconnell,
who is with the Boston club here, will
remain with us and Lord will be asked
to report tomorrow or Sunday.
After closing the deal both magnates
expressed themselves as pleased with
it. Boston wanted a good pitcher and
got one; got a pitcher. at least, who
has been awfully good at times and
should win games with hitting behind
him. Boston wanted a man to use at
third base in case of injury to Engle,
or in the event that Engle goes bad"
Boston got a promising third baseman,
a youngster whom Commy would not
have traded even for Engle himself.

No kiddin.' I've got few more fights
left in me, and old John Willie will
think he's fighting a youngster when

The best part of it is that George
means every word of 1t. for he's work
ing like a Trojan to get himself into
fighting condition.
