Harry Mohney had his
legs broken.
Supt. Fleming, with a party, enter-

slow, as the brattice work had been
blown down and had to be replaced
as they proceeded. At midnight the
rescuers fouad Harry Mohney, a mo-
torman. He was unconscious and did

STRIKERS RESTRAINED
Federal Court Issues Injunction
Against Chicago Teamsters.
For the first time in Chicago since
the strike of the American Railway
Union in 1894, the government of the
United States has been made a party
to labor troubles. The government
was brought into the teamsters’
strike by the issuance of an injunction
by Judge C. C. Kohlsaat of the United
States circuit court. The writ was
asked in behalf of the Employers’
Teaming association, on the grounds
that the organization is incorporated
under the laws of West Virginia and
is therefore under the protection of
the federal court.
The federal court order commands
that all defendants refrain from any
interference with the business of the
Employers’ Teaming association, and
commands the strikers to refrain from
picketing, massing in streets with
intent to interfere with the wagons of
the complainant, and from interfering
in any manner with non-union men in
its employment.
The injunction exerted a pacifying

Andrew Carnegie Donates Fund for
Retired College Men.
A gift of $10,000,000 by Andrew
Carnegie to provide annuities for col-
lege professors who are not able to
continue in active service, was an-
nounced by Frank A. Vanderlip, vice
presideat of the National City Bank
of New York. Professors in the Unit-
ed States, Canada and Newfoundland
will share in the distribution of the
income of the fund.

Vanderiip have been selected by Mr.
Carncgie to obtain data on the subject
to be presented at the first meeting
of the board of trustees, which will
take place on November 15. Mr. Van-
derlip sent the following letter to the
press:

disability, are no longer in a position
to render the most efficient service. It
is Mr. Carnegie’s belief that this fund

| historic event of the highest signifi-
cance, in comparison with which the
remission of millions of dollars of
taxes to the peasantry, a long list of
decorations and six pages of promo-
tions of bureaucratic officials are hard-
ly worth comment.
Liberty of conscience has been
repeatedly proclaimed and Procurator
Pobedonostzeff, in his famous reply
to the evangelical petition of 1888,
contended that it existed in the em-
pire. The fact is that as a trysting
place all religions have been toler-
ated in Russia, but none has been
allowed to trespass upon the Ortho-
| dox faith as enunciated from the
mosque that faces the church on the
Nevsky prospect in St. Petersburg.
| People were free to remain true to the
religion of their fathers, but were
| forbidden to make proselytes. Every-
body might enter, but none might
leave the Orthodox church without
forfeiting their civil rights, including
the right to inherit or owa property.
The Emperor's act will affect about
40,000,000 belonging to alien faiths,
such as Jews, Catholics and Luther-
ans of Poland and the Baltic provin-
ces, the Protestants of Finland and
the followers of Islam and Buddha in
the Urals, the Crimea, the Caucasia,
Turkestan and Central Asia.
These figures are only approximate
as probably millions who are nomi-
nally Orthodox, secretly profess other
| religions. Whole villages of Mussul-
mens, baptized into the Orthodox com-
to be permitted to return to Moham-
medanism.
Logically the Emperor's action in-
volves a complete reversal of Russian
policy—the seeking of national unity
in conquering provinces through re-
ligious unity. He has accepted tha
axiom of the metropolitan Antonius,
“You cannot hold strange children in
the church against their will,” and
recognizes in religious variety good
for the nation, as well as for the
church itself, a principle which, if
acknowledged politically, would mean
a’ federated Russia.
AID FOR SOUTHERN COLLEGES.
Chicago Man Distributes $135,000
Among Five Institutions.
Dr. D. K. Parsons of Chicago an-
nounced gifts to five Southern col-
leges. The amounts donated range
from $10,000 to $50,000 and aggregate
$135,000. Dr. Pearsons announced
that he had rejected requests of over
400 institutions in various parts of
the country. “This will be all for
six months,” was the characteristic
declaration of Dr. Pearsons when he
told of the gifts.
The donations as
