The Strike Situation. A company of soldiers entered tho Lithuanian settlement in Shenandoah yesterday for tho purpose of assisting In the arrest of three men, chargod with complicity in last Wednesday's rioting. They accompanied several constables and found two of the men in bed, with bandaged wounds of the feet. They are Anthony Palimoutz and Stanislaus Zukowski. An express wagon which had been pressed into service carried the men to the borough jail. It went at a double-quick pace, with its escort of running soldiers, carrying their rifles, ready for instant use. Not the slightest resistance was offered by any one to the arrest of the men nor to the progress of the cavalcade. The third man was reported to have gone to the Miners hospital at Ashland for treatment of his wounds. It was said at the hospital that ho had left there. Search is still being made for him. At the hearing of the men before Magistrate Shoemaker both denied par ticipating in the rioting. Each of the accused was held in §2.000 bail. They were taken to Pottsville later In the afternoon. Two companies, with fixed bayonets, kept back a largo crowd at the station until the train came. It is thought that bail will be secured for the prisoners within a woek. James Capparell, of llazleton, a night watchman at Tyler McTurk's wash ery, at Girardville, was shot through both legs from ambush while roturning from work yesterday morning. The Girardville local has appointed a com mittee to aid in the apprehension of the one who did the shooting. The presidents of the coal-carrying companies held an unusually long con ference yesterday and the strike situa tion was fully discussed. George F. Baer, president of the Reading Railroad, prosided. They discussed the opening of collier ies In the mining districts. Since the strike a few washeries have boe open ed, but no more collieries. The ques tion of starting the colllerios was fully discussed, but it was learned that noth ing would be done in this respect until a further report of the condition of the mines isreceived. At the close of the conference the presidents wore very uncommunicative. One of them said: "Nothing has been done to change the situation. Some thing may be done later." "Did you discuss the question of the opening of collieries?" was asked. The president declined to reply. Others spoken to also refused to answer the question whether collieries would be opened. The Reading Company's ofiicers hold a consultation at headquarters in Potts villo yesterday and decided not to at tempt to start the Indian Ridge colliery at Shenandoah, although there are 1,400 soldiers and fifty policemen stationed within a stone's throw of the colliery. Strike leaders say that this is evidence that the company cannot resume work, no matter how much protection is af forded non-union men. A chock amounting to 86,500 was'ro ceivod at the headquarters of District No. 7, of the United Mine Workers, yes terday from Indianapolis. This is the socoud Installment of relief from the union headquarters. judging from its severity, those out side of Pennsylvania would say of the Democratic platform: "Here is partisan recklessness." It is nothing of the kind. It is the plain, unvarnished truth, stated without exaggeration. There is not an assertion in it but is sustained by Republican authority. The Democrats did not exaggerate, sim ply because the facts in the case defy exaggreation. The politics of Pennsyl vania is the plague spot of the nation, and it has debauched the state govern ment to a degree that it is impossible to overstate. This is all confessed by Republicans of the highest possible character, and who have occupied tho highest place in Republican councils. — Boston Herald (Ind.). Watch the date ou your paper CHINESE BUNKO BILL SO CALLED "EXCLUSION" ACT DE CEPTIVE AND INEFFICIENT. CrltlclHiu by the O fllclul Orßnn of the American Federation of Labor. Where the ReNponHibillty For the STll utile Rents. The United States congress has passed und the president has signed a bill enacting into law what purports to be a measure for the exclusion of Chinese laborers from the mainland of the United States and its possessions. In point of fact the entire measure is as defective, deceptive and Inefficient to accomplish the desired purpose as such a piece of patchwork of which the present law is composed well can be. Realizing that the exclusion law of the past ten years, just terminated and which is now superseded by the law just enacted, was spread over a series of acts, treaty stipulations, court de cisions and treasury regulations which required vast research in order to as certain the exact status of any tangi ble features, the American Federation of Labor representatives, together with the representatives of the California Chinese exclusion convention, drafted a bill which was a codilleation of all these various laws, treaties, decisions and treasury regulations into a com prehensive measure so that if it had been enacted it would have presented to the government officials as well as any student or ordinary citizen of this or any other country a comprehensive law that any one might run and read, but the wise solons of our congress decreed otherwise, and, whether out of pure antagonism or crass ignorance, they have imposed upon the country a law which, unless remedied soon by further legislation rectifying the wrong and the shortcomings or by the voluntary acquiescence of China as well aa other foreign countries or the interpretation nnd administration of its provisions by the judicial and ad ministrative officers of the country, will open the mainland of the United States to the dangers of an overwhelm ing horde of Chinese coolies. Under the old law Chinese or per sons of Chinese descent were excluded from the United States no matter from whence they came. Under the law just passed they can bo excluded only when such exclusion shall be "consistent with treaty obligations." In 110 way does the law designate that the exclusion shall be consistent with treaty obligations with China, and hence, while the provision is made that they shall be excluded if they come from China to the United States or from China to the Philippine Is lands, there is no provision of law against Chinese going to Hongkong, which is under British government, or from China to Mexico and coming from either of these places Into the United States. In view of the treaties between the United States and the governments of Great Britutn and Mexico providing for free and unlimited coining and go ing of their citizens and subjects to und from the United States and with the well known desire on the part of Chinese laborers to come to our coun try and compete with American work men, and this desire fostered and en couraged by the shipping and trans portation companies as well as the purpose of the Chinese Six Companies and a large number of American em ployers who constantly harp upon the idea of Introducing into the United States u horde of cheap laborers, it is not dillicult to understand the danger which threatens and confronts the workers of our country. Then, again, there is a direct invita tion to China to give notice six months before Dec. 7, 1904, that the treaty be tween it and the government of the United States shall terminate on the date named, and inasmuch as the pres ent luw pretends to exclude Chinese only when it shall be "consistent with treaty obligations" and upon termina tion of the treaty there will be neither statute law nor treaty provision which in any way will deny Chinese coolies and laborers coming direct from China into the mainland of the United States. It is admitted by all that the treaty of 18G8 granting free and unrestricted Immigration of Chinese, whether la borers or others, into the United States was not abrogated but simply suspend ed by subsequent treaty stipulations and that it will come into full force and effect upon the termination of the present treaty unless another spoclllc ully providing otherwise shall be nego tiated and ratified in the meantime. Scarcely was the ink dry exacting the present law when it was inciden tally attacked in the interest of the Chi nese. A Chinaman sought admission Into the United States, claiming alle giance to Mexico, and offered to place bond for his return. Our government officials evaded rendering a decision upon the Chinaman's right to enter the United States from Mexico by declar ing that he bad no right to come in un der bond. Thus the main question is undecided, but that it soon will have to be decided no one seriously dis putes. Taking the entire law as It now stands, it presents one of the most conspicuous pieces of bungling or vi cious legislation, or both, ever enacted by congress. It Is a menace to not only the work ers of the United States, but to our republic and to our civilization, and unless rectified by timely legislation the entire responsibility for the Injury to our people will rest upon the heads of the managers of the legislation In our congress—a responsibility which the workmen and the people generally of our country will not fall to appre ciate and repay In every lawful and honorable way wltldn the power of American manhood and American citi zenship.— Ain erica 11 Federa t ion Ist. NEW SHORT STORIES "A. Half our, Milliliter." The Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, who has just succeeded to the British premier ship, is at present thesubject of u merry and amusing story which is going the rounds in England. During the recent assigning of ministers—or, as it is term ed in England, the "sorting" of minis ters—a parson of the Free kirk ar rived in London and, establishing him self at an east end hotel, recorded him self in the visitors' book as "A. Balfour, Minister." To his great surprise he was treated as one of the elect of the world. The canny Scotchman never realized the situation until he got his bill. "Ma certle, inon!" he exclaimed when he had perused the bill. "Ye'd fancy 1 was Lord Salisbury." "Well, sir," responded the hotel clerk, "we ull know you're next door to him." The parson, it is needless to say, was delighted to have been mistaken for such a great man as the leader of the house of commons. lie not only never said a word, but gave handsomely to the waiting folk, who nre now lauding the generosity of Mr. Balfour, whom it would be lfard to convince them was other than the then English parlia mentary leader and now succesor of Lord Salisbury. It WAN a Strange Flower. Clara Morris says that one niglit when she was playing Camille during the scene with Arm and she discovered that the flower, the camellia, on the giving of which the whole plot turned, was missing from her breast, where it should have been pinned. "I tried to warn Arniand," she related, "but he was making love und did not hear. In despair I went across the room. There was the supper table and 011 It a beau tiful bunch of celery. It was the work of a minute to wrench off some of the greenest leaves. The poor man did not know anything of what was coming. You should have seen his mien when I handed him the celery, saying, as my part required, T-t is a strange flower.' "IT IS A STRANGE FLOWER." 'I agree with you,' he whispered hack. That was smart, but unkind. When I said, 'Cherish it,' lie gasped, Wlieu I ended up with my last, 'Keep It,' ho nearly threw a fit. He did not help me out at all. llut I got even with him. I might have Hid his exit, but instead I swept away from him, leav ing him alone In the center of the stage, and then In fell view of the audience he had to kiss the celery. Nowadays he cannot smell that vegetable without thinking of me." Miss Morris did not reveal the actor's name, but It was probably Stuart Itobson, remarks the Chicago News. Mrs. Henderson's Ilnslinnd. In the Gramorcy park boarding house It was generally recognized that Mrs. Henderson was -the head of the Hen derson family, but it remained for Bridget to voice the opinion. "Is Mr. Henderson In?" a caller In quired one evening when ull were gath ered in the front parlor. "I'll see," said Bridget. A minute later she returned. "Mrfc. Henderson's husband isn't in, sir," she said loud enough for all to hear. And ever since the boarding house Ims called him "Mrs. Henderson's hus band." "The Original Gray Jackals," Before the battle of Waterloo thero was an Inn at that village called the Gray Jackass. After the downfall of Napoleon as the result of that battle the Innkeeper changed Ills sign to the Duke of Wellington, to his own dis comfiture. A rival took advantage of the change und set up the Gray Jack ass, whereby ho took away the busi ness from the Duke of Wellington. The result was the substitution of the title "This Is the original Gray Jack ass" for the inscription beneath the Duke of Wellington's portrait. An Excellent Arrangement. l'ltt, while sitting 011 the treasury bench In parliament, habitually car ried so much liquor that it gave on anxious clerk at the table n headache to watch him. "Excellent arrange ment," said Pitt. "I have the wine, and he has the headache." THREE EYED ANIMALS. New Zeuland I'onneanew Some of TbeNC Hemiirkable Creatures. Tliore is no more Interesting country In the world to a biologist than New Zealand, and to Professor Dendy is due the credit of having made some very valuable original researches in regard to some of the more character istic fauna of the country. Nearly every one has heard of the tuatara, the curious, iguanalike look ing creature now found on only one or two islands off the coast of New Zea land and supposinl to be the oldest liv ing type of animal on the face of the globe. One of the most curious fea tures is an organ on the head which at one time was sioken of as the pineal glund, but which Dr. Dendy dis covered to bo in reality a third eye. Ills paper on the subject caused the greatest interest in scientliic circles, and, as an illustration of the way in which research is specialized nowa days, it may be mentioned that while Dr. Dendy devoted himself to the study of the third eye one distinguish ed English biologist is "working out" the skeleton, another the kidneys, etc. More recently Dr. Dendy has discov ered another New Zealand creature possessing a third eye. This is the New Zealand lamprey, a favorite article of food among-the Maoris. The third eye is situated right on top of the head and is covered with a thin coating of skin. It is doubtful whether it is now of any practical use for seeing, but Dr. Dendy believes that at one time, far back in the world's history, there were two eyes on the back of the lamprey's head. He is further of the opinion that at one time the tuatara also had two eyes where now only one remains. In the tuatara it Is the left eye which has survived, while in the lamprey it is the right one. The English lamprey has only two eyes and is to that extent inferior to its New Zealand congener, but it has Its compensations, for was it not re corded in our history books at school that an English king died from eating too many lampreys?— Melbourne (Aus tralia) Argus. Arliflolal I.obHter Culture. For miuiy years, ljotli in Europe nnil this country, the artificial propagation of lobsters lias presented an unsolved problem. Now, at last, Professor 11. C. Iluinpus of the American Museum of Natural History lias discovered the secret of success. Ills discovery conies at an opportune moment, because for fivo years past the supply of lobsters has been decreasing. The method of Professor Bumpus depends upon keep ing the water In which the lobster fry are pluced after hatching In constant motion, for, if allowed to settle, the fry smother or devour one another. By this device the young lobsters ure suc cessfully reared until at the age of from nine to sixteen days they are able to take care of themselves. The United States Fish commission Is plan ning to restock the depleted waters along our coast with lobsters hatched and reared In the manner described. Ware. In Sollil Metal. I'rofessor lloberts-Austen, In talking before the institution of civil engi neers In London übout advances In metallurgy and engineering, demon strated that solid metals might reveal by their structure the vibrations to which they had been subjected. In ex plaining tills phenomenon experiments were shown proving that a beautiful wave structure can be Imparted to the surface of mercury by the vibrations of a tuning fork and that even the sur face of solid lend which lias been sub jected to similar vibrations possesses a structure resembling that of a vi brating surface of mercury. Mild steel was defined by I'rofessor ltoberts- Austen as a "solid solution" of iron and carbon, free from .cinders. Metal lurgists have doubled the. strength of steel us It was known In Its curly days. New York's Sky I.lne. Veresehngin, the artist who is paint ing a large picture of the battle of San Juan Hill, with President Itoosevelt as the central figure, wus very much de pressed over New York's sky line when he visited the metropolis fifteen years ago. He snhl that the occasional sky scraper was a painful blot on the land scape; that it made the sky line one terrible thing to behold. The other day after long contemplation of It and the scores of lilg buildings which load down the Island of Manhattan he is said to have turned to a friend anil remarked, "Iteally [a pause] it begins to he grand." Snndwlcll Islamls. The term "Sandwich Islands" recurs In news Items, scientific addresses and In lectures with a frequency which suggests some other cause than igno rance of the fact that the early name of the group bus long been obsolete. One cause of this survival, especially where these islands are mentioned 111 public speech, is the inability of the mnlnlnnder to pronounce "Hawaiian." Ho usually says "Haywnylan" and knows that he Is wrong; so to protcet himself from a lingual Infelicity ho snj-s "Sandwich Islands" and lets them go at that. The Pennypnokers. There are not many Pennypnekers In the slate of Pennsylvania, and the name of the Philadelphia Jurist who has been nominated for governor has aroused considerable dlscusßion. There Is only one Pennypacker family in Pittsburg and one In Allegheny. Alle gheny has a Punubnker. That Is really the nearest thing in the directory to Pennypacker, for l'ennypacker origi nally had no suggestion of coin about it and Is a corruption from the old Dutch or Pennsylvania German Pun j nuheeker, or Panabaker, which merely meuus u man who bukes In a pun. i gIEiSEISam = I " " 1 Eisriii New s [|H J [in || 'N ||n I Finiislii® I [e| I@l We have all the little things that a ||l r-jjj gentleman can wish for his summer a] dressing.
