son. A. J. MUNDBLLA DEAD.
'He Originated Arbitration For the Settle-
‘ ment of Trades Disputes.
; i’fLOndon, July22.—The Right Hon. An-
thony ,J. Mundella, member of parlia-
ment for the Brightside division of
Sheffield and twice president of' the
board of trade, 'with a seat in the cabi-
net, died today of~paralysis. He was
stricken TuesdayT of last week.
Mr. Mundella, who belonged to the
radical wing of the Liberal party, was
bern in 1825. On his father’s side he
was of Italian descent. He received a
liberal education and was subsequently
engaged in the staple trade at Notting-
ham, where he became sheriff in 1852.
In 1859 he organized the first courts, of
arbitration for the settlement of trade
disputes, and this was the most impor-
A. J. MUNDELLA.
tant incident of his career, though he
subsequently occupied a large place in
the public eye in the development of
public education and British commerce.
In 1868 he entered parliament as an ad-
vanced Liberal, representing Sheffield
until 1885, when he was returned by the
Brightside division of Sheffield. From
1880 to 1885 he was vice president of the
council of education and a charity com-
missioner. In 1886 Mr. Gladstone offered
him, the portfolio of president of the
board of trade, with a seat in the cabi-
net, a post which he resigned, of course,
when the Gladstone ministry went out
of office over the home rule question.
When Mr. Gladstone returned to power
in 1892, he offered Mr. Mundella the
same portfolio, which was accepted and
held until 1894. Mr. Mundella estab-
lished the labor . department of the
board of trade and founded The Board
of Trade Journal and The Labor Ga-
zette. He was president of the British
and Foreign School society, the Na-
tional Education association and the
Association of Technical Institutes.
During his parliamentary career he was
a leading member of several royal com-
missions on labor, education of the
blind and the poor law school. He was
a fluent and forceful speaker, equally
effective in the house of commons, on
the hustings and in public meetings of
a nonpolitical character. His addresses
on labor, conciliation and arbitration,
education, economics and his statistical
publications have long held an enviable
rank. He was a man of fine presence
and polished manners, traveled exten-
sively and was a. liberal patron of the
fine arts. He enjoyed the personal
friendship of Mr. Gladstone.
To Retain Japan's Friendship.
Vancouver, B. 0., July 22.—According
to the Japanese papers of Kokumin,
just received here, Mr. Buck, the new
United States minister, has brought
with him instructions to maintain as
pacific an attitude as possible between
Japan and the United States. The pa-
per remarks that this is as it should be
and that _it would be a great pity to
interrupt the friendly relations which
have hitherto prevailed between Amer-
ica and Japan, especially over such a
paltry thing as Hawaii.
A Stay For Dr. Swallow.
Philadelphia, July 22.—The appeal of
the Rev. Dr. Silas C. Swallow from the
$500 fine imposed upon him upon convic-
tion of criminal libel came up in the

the points raised in the application for
the supersedeas. ' .This was done, and
the court handed down an order allow-
ing the supersedeas and directing a
stay.

business makes it necessary for them

THE SULTAN YIELDs.
Sublime Porto Concludes That It Cannot
Fight All Europe.
Constantinople, July 22.—The sultan
has issued an irade sanctioning the set-
tlement of the frontier question in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the powers.
The original demand of the Turkish
government, submitted June 29, was for
all the nogthern portion of Thessaly
down to the river Penoios and ‘to a
point approximately 12 kilometers be-
yond the line of the Penoios (Salam-
bria), in the district of Larissa. As the
Salambria rises in Mount Dhobimi, a
western peak of the Khassias, and ex-
tends across the whole of Thessaly
eastward to the gulf of Salonika, a con-
cession of this demand would have
meant an important increase in Otto-
man territory. This proposal thé pow-
ers have unitedly refused to consider
for a moment as practicable. In reply
they informed the Turkish government
that- all that Turkey could hope for was
a rectification of the existing mountain
frontier for strategic purposes Only, and
the European military attaches submit-
ted a line drawn just south of the
Khassia mountain, which includes one
or two small villages inhabited by
Greeks, intimating to the Turkish gov-
ernment that on its acceptance of this
line the Greek inhabitants affected
would be transferred at the expense of
the Greek government and under the
protection of the powers to Greek terri-
tory beyond the line.
On July 5, in reply to the note of the
embassadors containing this prOposal,
a special council of the Turkish minis-
try drafted a mazbata stating that the
porte ,could not consider the frontier
proposed by the powers nor any other
line north of the Peneios, the natural
.boundary. This attitude of the porte
was firmly maintained for some time,
but the powers would not give in, and
the sultan has now been compelled to
submit.
TARIFF BILL PROSPECTS.
An Effort. May Be Made to Cause Indefi-
nite Postponement.
Washington, July 22.—The outlook for
the early adoption of the conference
report on the tariff bill is not quite so
promising today as the friends of the
bill would like, but there is still every
probability that the report will be dis-
posed of before the end of the week.
The opposition leaders admit that such
is liable to be the result, but they are
considering a course of action which,
if adopted, possibly might have the ef-
fect of causing indefinite postponement.
The suggestion has been made that the
Democrats could probably yet secure
the restoration of cotton bagging, bur-
laps, paris green, etc., to the free list
by frankly taking the position that if
the restoration is not made they will
block final action for an indefinite peri—
0d. The suggestion is receiving some
consideration at the hands of the Dem-
ocratlc members of the finance commit-
tee, but the indications are against its
adoption.
Senator Turley En Route.
Washington, July 22.—Senator Bate
of Tennessee received a telegram today
from his new colleague, Mr. Turley,
saying that he would arrive in Wash-
ington in time to take his seat in the
senate at the opening of the session to-
morrow. '
Spain Wants More Ships.
Madrid, July 22.—It is said that the
government is negotiating forthe con-
struction of four large warships. Senor
Canovas del Castillo, the prime minis-
ter, denies the statement that an alli—
ance-has been effected between Spain
and Japan, and declares that the only
bonds between the two countries are
their cordial relations. With reference
to the situation in Cuba, the prime min-
ister says the necessity is now more
urgent than ever for the government to
consider what reforms shall be effected
on the island.
Another Lee Ivy Planted at Yale.
New Haven, July 22.—The class of ’96,
who last year planted an ivy from the
grave of the late Robert E. Lee and had
it torn up, have planted another piece
from the same spot. The ceremony was
quietly performed without giving pub-
lic notice, and the new ivy is now grow-
ing beautifully on the site selected by
the class. It is not thought that an-
other attempt will be made 'to destroy
the ivy.

Brazil Imports Our Wheat,
San Francisco, July 22.—That there
is an actual shortage of wheat in the
Argentine Republic has been demon-
strated by the chartering 0f two big
ships to carry wheat to Brazil, one of
them, the Comliebank, 2,179 tons regis-
ter, being already loaded and ready for
sea. The other, the Cressington, 2,000
tons, is ready to begin loading at once.
Small Boy Burglars.
Mount Vernon, N. .Y., July 22.—Willie

avenue, was the complainant. He al-
leged that the boys broke into his store
on Sunday night and stole some goods
and $5. The boys were held.
