 STRIKE IS ENDED
Has Caused More Financial Loss Than a Great
 War

London, April 6.-The decision of the miners federation this afternoon to order the men to resume work has brought in- tense relief to the whole country. The termination of the coal strike virtually amounts to raising ruinous siege of the nations industries, which has inflicted financial loss by far larger than would have been caused by war with great power of similar duration.
 In Scotland the miners will return to the colleries on Monday but as that day is a holiday in England and Wales. tho strikers there will not return until Tuesday In many mines two or three days more will eapse before repairs can be completed. By the end of the week however it is expected every colliery will he in full swing
 Some of the opponents of a resumption had 10 acknowledge that with 5000 men already working, and with double that number ready to return 10 labor on Mon day 1t would be hopeless to attempt to carry on the war.

Louisville, April 6-Speaker Champ Clark made the chief address here tonight at a harmony dinner largely attended by Kentucky democrats and given in eelebra- ton of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson. Speaker Clark eulogized the author ol the declaration of independence. eredItlng Washington only with having done more for the American nation. Incidentally he observed that President Tafts exercise of the veto power would receive rehuke at the hands of the voters
 With Speaker Clark on the programme were Governor McCreary. Luetenant Governor McDermott, Hamilton Lewis and former United States Senator J. c. S. Blackburn.
 President Taft' said Speaker Clark vetoed all our tariff bills. thereby rals- ing an issue which will rage with un- abated fury until the polls close in No vember. Under the constitution he has the prerogative of using the veto. So has the king of Great Britain, but no British king has dared use the veto in two cen lures, and the first British king who does veto an important bill will be the last of his line just as William Howard Taft will be the last of the stand-pat Presi- ours. on that record we confidently ap- peal to the people, the court of lasr re sort in politics"

 In the comparatively small overfowed section of North Memphis the situation improved tonight. With the fall in the Mississippi the water has begun to re- cede.
 New Madrid, Mo. under water to a depth of several feet, held local option election today Tonight's dispatches do not say whether the "wets" or sdrys'' won. Voters came to the polls in lauches. on rafts and in skiffs. The flood did not dsmpen the ardor of the workers and partisan feeling was intense.
 Captain Hegeman, United States army, arrived in New Madrid today to direct relief work. Several thousand refugees have gathered in the city.
 Another Break Expected
 Despite heroic work by large force of men, headed by experts. it Is not believed that the levee at Golden Lake Ark, 4S miles north of Memphis. can withstand for many more hours the pressure that already has broken all records. For two days and night past extraordinary efforts have been made to save the Golden Lake wall of protection, but the end seemed i'll sight when late today a hurry call was received asking for 4n.000 more bags of sand. These were started to Golden Lake, but river conditions render hope that they will arrive in time very small The section of country in Crittenden county, Arkansas, and to the south, over flowed by the break at St. Clair, Is rather sparsely settled. Most of 1t is low farm ing lands. It is in parts highly produc- tive and well wooded, No great rush ot water is anticipated as the levee is crumhling gradually, causing the invading waters to move slowly. The telephone companies operating throughout the dis trict, quickly appraised of the break, sent warning calls over the wires to every point likely to be seriously affected by the flood Local and district long distance exchanges in turn warned subscribers of the impending water invasion.
 o. N. Killough, president of the St Francis levee board issued the following official statement late today:
 Water has run over the ton of the causing it to collapse. This will flood the same country that was flooded by tho Holly Bush break in 1893. It is almost certain that other levees will break north of Memphis tonight. Great danger is feared at Golden Lake, Pecan Point Osceola and other points.

Improvement at Hickman

Hickman. Ky, April s.-There is a dis tinct temporary improvement in the flood situation here tonight. The Mississippi river has fallen eight inches in the last 24 hours This decline Is attributed 10 the break in the levee six miles below here yesterday. The muddy waters are sN ming through this breach at a terrific rate inundating the territory behind the levees. This area is estimated to be 900 square miles. and several days will pass before the present flow of water will fill the whole basin.
 Refugees continue to arrive here. Pro visions are coming in and no distress ex- is,s Mayor Dillon received telegram from Congressman Ollie James of this district late today advising that Captain Logan, L. & A.. has instructions 10 pro- ceed 10 Hickman at once with authority to expend slo.0V for the relief and com fort of the Hood sufferers.

Tribute to Jefferson

TO his tribute 10 Jefferson's statesman ship Speaker Clark added his estimate that the great Virginian was the pro foundest philosopher that ever devoted his life to politics, the foremost and talest among the torch bearers and path blazers of human liberty. The high place assigned to him by his contemporaries has been confirmed to him by the well night unani- nous voice of posterity and his vast repu- tation constantly grows vaster as the years steal into the centuries"
 Declaring that Jeffersons reputation was topped by that of only one other, Washington, the speaker said
 Deciples of Jefferson
 We scarcely do justice 10 Washington even yet He rendered more important service to his country and to hlman lib erty as president of the constitutional convention than AS either oommandaf-ih- chief of our armies or az President of the United States, for 1t is almost certain that but for his all-pervading influence in the convention no constitution would have been agreed upon, and but for the abso- lute certainty that he would be the first President the constitution would never have been ratified"
 Jefferson" said Speaker Clark in taking up present day issues. What do we stand for today? We are much against spe- eial privilege and as much in favor of equal rights to all as he was We believe and we proclaim our faith in the great body of the people, and that the law

The feature of the September Bulle-

in Maine" by A. *. Gardner and II. p.
Sweetser, horticulturist and assistant
horticulturist connected With the State
department of agriculture.
sIn speaking OF the general outlook
they say: Maine has been rather tar
dy in approaching the chances of the
development in commercial apple
growing. Most sections of the State
have orchards of greater or less eX-
tent and up to within Il few years
these have been seriously neglected.
Cultivation. systematic pruning,
spraying, more rigid laws relating to
disposal of fruit and cooperation have
been sadly needed in order to put
Maine where she should be as a fruit
producing State.
Fine fruit can be produced in ev-
cry county in the State, provided the
right soil and varieties are selected. 1t
is safe to say that $10G net per acre
can be realized, depending of course
upon the grower, acreage and method
OF management
rs Factors in aid OF the advancement
of orcharding in Maine are said by
the horticulturists to be: OrehardinS
as a specified business; better meth
DDS of management of the orchard,
including better stock and selection %
soil; better methods of handling the
fruit; cooperative marketing, more
rigid packing laws. These matters are
discussed at length IL the Bulletin.
