GENERAL SEAMEN'S
 STRIKE DECLARED
Is Not Believed That Strike Will Be of Any Con-
 sequence

London, June 1.-The seamen's strike was formally declared tonight at London, Glasgow. Liverpool, Cardiff, Bristol, Southampton and other Brtl-
 sh ports and also at Belgian and Dutch ports, but the chances of any real international strike being declared seem remote. So far as tonight's indi- cations show, the confidence of ehe shipping federation is well placed, Tor at hardly any of these ports was en- thusiasm displayed for the strike and the shipowners maintain an attitude of indifference, seemingly satisfied they will have no trouble in filling the places of the strikers who thus far can be counted by hundreds.
 Tom Mann at Liverpool, Ben Tillett
 at London and Havelocl1 Wilson at Southampton are doing their utmost to
 galvanize the movement but with small
 success. They demand chiefly con- ciliation board and the establishment
 of minimum wage and complain bit terly of the wholesale employment Of
 Asiatics by shipowners.
 There appears small chance here that either Germany, Norway or Denmark 
 will come into the movement. At mass meeting in East London tonight, attended by 5000 sailors and flremen, the signal for the strike was given. This consisted in the firing of
 three rockets and the unfurling of a
 banner inscribed "The war is now de- clared"
 The first big steamers to be tied up were transatlantic liners. The crews of the Teutonic and the Empress of Ire- lane, numbering $50 and 300 men re- spectful1y, refused to sign.
 Despite the recent efforts of the
 strike leaders to hold her up. the Olympic, of the White Star line, the largest steamer afloat, got away at Southampton on her maiden voyage for New York early this afternoon. The Teutonic of the White Star line.
 was scheduled to sail from Liverpool
 next Saturday for Quebec and Mon treal.
 Tie Empress of Ireland, owned by the Canadian Pacific Steamship com pany, was due to leave Liverpool next
 Friday for Quebec.
 In the early development of the strike there has apeared to be a lack of CO., hesion among the men at most of the ports which explained the comparative Indifference of the shipowners, who con tinued to scout the idea of any really serious inconvenience.
 New York, June 14.-Probab1y none of the big transatlantic liners nor any of the 200 or more tramp steamers of foreign register will be abondoned
 by their crews in this country as a result of the seamens' strike, accord ing to Matthew Tearle who Is In

EXCITED BUYING
STOVES OATS UP
Wheat and Corn Feel Effect
of the Bearish Oats
Movement.

Chicago. Ill, June 12.-Excited buy
inc of oats today ran up the price OF
that cereal and largely controlled the
action of other grain. The offerings OF
oats were unusually small at une out
set. Shorts became alarmed ana IN an
effort to cover developed a genera
furry which took the market TO a nlgn-
er level in double quick time July
started at 37S to SSH, an advance OF
II to &c, and rose to 3Sss.
Cool weather and rains, together
with bearish cables, made wheat weak
at first, but the bulge in the oats mar
ket turned sentiment somewhat the
other way. July opened at 8S1s TO 50 =
and rose to SSB.
Corn was swayed chiefly through
sympathy with oats. July started sc
OF to nc up at 54Es to So and rose to
5EH.
Provisions eased a trifie with hogs
First sales were a shade to &c lower
with September delivery at S14921s for
pork, $3.50 for lard and 1915 for ribs.
Wheat closed nervous with July at
net loss of rs to 2Ac.
Corn closed unsettled with July at
net loss Of &c.
Sellers Panic Hits Wheat.
A sellers panic hit July wheat today.
At one time the option showed a fall
Of nearly s cents a bushel as compared
with a week ago.
Belief was widespread that the lead
ing owners OF cash wheat taken in on
May contracts were selling the grain
for July delivery, and were going short
of deferred months, anticipating the
hedging of new crop wheat soon Pre-
paratory to such a maneuver today the
bull clique apparently supported the
market during the early trading and
helped hoist prices Then came a well
directed effort to unload.
Stop loss selling orders from otne-
sources, however. were brought into
operation. In consequence prices
dropped as much as lie between
trades.

"The late Cornelius NJ, Bliss was
four times Treasurer Of the Republi'
can National Committee in Presiden-
tial elections. Bringing to his post
efficiency and merchants orderly
ways, he perfected the system OF
handling political campaign funds as
it then existed.
According to the most likely 5esti-
mates, Mr.. Bliss must have handled
in those four campaigns nearly $780,
100000 How much it really was
few living men know There was no
legal check upon campaign expenli-
lures either in the state or the ma
ton. There was/no bar to receipts. It
was open to any special interest to
contribute to any campaign fund and
to establish thereby what Thomas G.
Platt called "a moral obligation
resting upon legislatures and execu-
tives.
Mr.. Bliss lived to see this danger
Gus system overthrown. He saw NJ"
York pass a Publicity act and other
Estates enact similar laws. He saw
both National Committees in 1903
operate under the New York statute
and voluntarily give Gu. their &C
counts. He saw Congress, on Janu
airy 26, 1907, forbid corporations. te
Il contribute to any Federal election
fund. And on August II, 1911, he
saw the Seven. Years War for clear
elections practically closed with tht
Rucker act which provides for pub
,|licity before and after election ant
J limits the amounts that candidates
may spend at primaries and elections

WHY CALIFORNIA is ULTRA PRO.
GRESSlVE.

Human conditions are somewhat
like the tides of the ocean, they ebb
and flow, they go from one extreme
to the other.
When William R. Hearst commenc.
ed the publication of newspaper in
San Francisco, the state of California
was governed, or rather misgoverned
by the big corporations doing bust
ness on the Pacific Coast. 1t is quite
probable tina. at that time California
was more completely under the influ-
ence Of corporation domination than
any other commonwealth in the coun-
Try ever was, with the possible exeep-
ton Of New Mexico at the present
time. When the corporations ruled
in California, courts as well as legis-
latures did their bidding, or largely
so. When Hearst commenced the
publication of the San Francisco Ex-
aminer, corporation rule was at flood
tide on the coast. The Examiner
commenced its wcrk by fearlessly
attacking the public officials who
were mere corporation agents, and
since then the political trend in Cal
ifornia has been back toward gov
eminent by the people.
Last week the people of that state
voted overwhelmingly in favor of
amending their constitution so as to
provide for tie initiative and refer
endum, and also for the recall of pub.
lie officials, judges included. The
amendment. providing for the recall
OF judges carried by a vote of 14S,5 72
in its favor, and Only 46,29O against
it.
If not at the present time, then in
the recent past. the Judiciary of Cal
ifornia IVES below par, and the PEG
pie of that state may have been fully
justified in doing what they did at
their recent election.
