A ‘ Wise Man Keeps
his Home Insured
Against Fire...—
W. H. BYINGTON,
\
. The opinion is expressed, however, that
.the czar has again made it plain to
f France that Russia cannot be dragged
'into following a policy of ”revanche,”
and the convictionqbecomes all the time
more widespread, as it is industriously
pressed in every quarter that France
will relinquish the idea. of revenge upon
Germany and the rsconquest of Alsace-
‘ Lorraine and will gradually become
[more friendly to Germany. Doubtless,
" I however, the wish in this case is father
‘ to the thought.
An unpleasant surprise has been cre-
. lated by the naval correspondents of The
Kreus Zeitung and other Conservative
newspapers, as well as the correspond-
ent of The Deutsche Zeitung Rund-
schau, reporting the naval manuevers
l near Dantzic during the past fortnight.
_ 1 They describe the evolutions of the Ger-
Eman war vessels as having been total
gfailures so far as quickness and manne-
3vering ability to resist torpedo attacks
gare concerned. On Tuesday last off the
{port of Hela the ironclad division nar-
;row1y missed running aground while
manuevering to escape torpedo bOats.
' Defetfive Equipment.
i
l The correspondents, who are them-
'selves naval men and who were on
board the vessels engaged in the maneu-
vering, attribute this lack of skill to the
want of modern equipments on the Ger-
man ships. The government will argue
from this that more cruisers are need—
ed for the German fleet and will urg';
the necessity of forming a division 01
cruisers. _
The new chief of the navy depart-
ment, Admiral von Tirpitz, paid a-visit
to Prince Bismarck during the week
and consulted the ex-chancellor on nav-
al matters, especially as to the need of
a. larger German navy. Prince Bis-
marck conceded the necessity of
strengthening the fleet, but he strongly
dissuaded the admiral from making that
the principal issue in the reichstag dur.
ing the coming session of that body.
On the following day Admiral von
Tirpitz went to Wilhelmshohe to re-
port the result of his visit to the em~
peror. It Is said on high authority that
his majesty still clings to his intention
to force the reichstag to grant much lar-
ger appropriations than hitherto for
naval constructions. But the Center and
pose the proposition, and the newspa-
per organs of these parties never miss
an opportunity of repeating their oppo-
sitlon to the emperor’s pet projects.
There is a. decided coolness between
the emperor and the king of Saxony.
Emperor William blames King Albert
for the latter’s recent decision in the
Schaumburg-Lippe succession case, as
calculated to destroy belief in the di-
vine right theory and morganatic mar-
riages. Because of this coolness King
Albert has refused to-be present at the
army maneuvers next month, and on
the other hand has accepted the invi-
tation of Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria to witness the army maneuvers
in Hungary.
A Plot Against the Kaiser.
The investigation into the recent de-
railment of the Hamburg-Berlin ex-
press near Celle, which led to loss of
life and the destruction of considerable
property, has yielded sensational re-
sults. The Berlin detectives have as-
certained that the accident was due to
a criminal plot, in which at least five
persons, evidently foreigners, were 'con-
cerned. Dynamite cartridges were
placed near the tracks and lighted fuses
were attached to them. The political
police of Berlin have further learned
that five anarchists. evidently the same
five persons, left Paris for Germany a
week before together, and they were
seen at Celle the night before the acci-
dent. They made inquiries in broken
German regarding Emperor VVilliam’s
trip over that road, but did not obtain
correct information. It is now believed
the plot was an attempt upon the em-
peror’s life.
A young American, Erhard Schubert
of St. Louis, who was caught stealing
a. bicycle at Charlottenburg, committed
suicide during the week by shooting
himself with a. revolver while In the
presence of the police.
Goenczi, the Hungarian who mur-‘
dered the wealthy widow Schulze and
her daughter in this city, is believed to
have fled to Amerioa on a steamer from
Hamburg. The Berlin police have ca~
bled a minute description of the man tc
New York. The sole heir of the mur-
dered women is a stepson of the widow
Schulze, who, when last heard from, was
foreman of a St. Louis brewery. The
estate is worth several million marks.
The Lokal Anzeiger. prints an inter-
view with Mehmed Nouri Bey of the
Turkish foreign office at Constantinople,
during which he is quoted as saying:
“The Armenian revolutionists in Tur-
key are all pupils and proteges of the
American mission schools at Marsovan,
Bitlis, Erzeroum and Van. The activi-
ty of these schools,” the hey is said to
have added, “are the curse of Turkey
and Armenia alike.”

ranged.

The Coal Operdtors Say He Is a T00]
of the Ohio Mine Owners.
AND AFRAID T0 ARBITRATE.
Ihey Charge Him With Not Daring to
Submit the Grievances of the Men
. to an Impartial Board—The Sit-
uation at the Camps.
Pittsburg, Aug. 30.—The coal oper-
ators’ committee has issued a state-
ment in reply to the manifesto issued by
President Ratchford of the United Mine
Workers, in which it is charged that
Ratchford has misrepresented the op—
erators and that he fears to submit his
grievances to an impartial board of
arbitrators. The committee also says
that any industrious miner in the Pitts-
burg district daily earned under a 54
cent rate a higher wage than is paid to
a majority of the mechanics in the mills
and factories in Pittsburg and that mine
laborers received a higher
day than is paid for common labor by
any railroad or manufacturing company
east of the Becky Induntains.
“The fact is,” the committee says,
“Mr. Ratchford is an Ohio man, he was
for three years president of the Ohio
miners’ organization, and he is inter-
ested in the welfare of the miners of
that state, ignoring the rightful claims
of those in the Pittsburg district. Be-’
ing supported by the Ohio operators,
who desire to have the lake tonnage of
Pennsylvania reduced so that they can
gobble it later, Mr. Ratchford places
himself in the position of being the will-
ing or the ignorant tool of the Ohio op-
erators. He has told the Pittsburg op-
erators more than once that they enjoy—
ed too large a part of the lake busi-
ness; that they would not be permitted
to retain it, and as a step in the direc-
tion of diverting from them that which
their energy and enterprise have gain—
ed he has repeatedly consented to have
the miners of Ohio dig nearly 11,000,000
tons of coal each year at a rate 9 cents
lower than is paid in the Pittsburg dis-
trict, althcugh Chic ships to the lakes
less than 1,000,000 tons.

may market 951,000 ions at the lake side,

At the Miners’ Camp.
The camps at Turtle and Plum Creeks
have been maintained for about four
weeks, and the situation today is but
little changed. The N v York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company is mining
coal, but not nearly to their capacity
of the mines. The men still at worn.
seem satisfied with their conditions un-
der which they are employed and stick
to their picks. On the other hand, the
strikers in the camps seem as determin--
ed as ever. They are waiting until the
result of the hearings in the cases of the
men arrested for violating the injunc—
tion show what course the courts \Vii
take.
In case the men are released the morn
ing marches to the mines will be re-
sumed. If the courts hold the defend-
ants in contempt, the result is proble-
matical. Some of the strikers say they
will march in. spite of the courts and
deputies. The peaceful spirit which has
made the strike the most remarkable
on record is being slowly worn away.
The continued want of success in clos~'
ing the three mines has overthrown the
feeling of certainty that peaceful means
and public sympathy would win their
cause, and under the surface an ugly
feeling is growing. ,
Hereafter the deputies will not inter-
fere with the strikers if they march
after 6 o’clock in the morning and keep
off the property of the coal company.
but all marchers will be stopped befort
that hour.
Cameron Miller, district organizer .
the United Mine Workers, has returned
to Pittsburg and announces that he has
succeeded in practically closing all the
mines in Mercer and Butler counties.
It appears probable that about the
only representative of Pittsburg or
ganized labor who will go to the St.
Louis convention is President Dolan,
who will represent both the miners and
the United Labor league.
The St. Louis Meeting.
Peoria, Ills, Aug. 30.—Grand Master
Sargent of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, declared that he would
not attend the meeting of‘ the union
leaders at St. Louis; rthat he was op-
posed to sympathetic strikes and that
the bylaws of the organization prevent-
ed it from taking part in them. Mr
Sargent says the firemen sympathizes
with the striking miners and have
shown it by their liberal response to an
appeal for financial aid sent out by
him, but they can do them more good
by staying at work and earning money
to contribute than they can by strik-
ing. Grand Master Powell of the Order
of Railway Telegraphers, says that or-_
ganization will not be represented at
the St. Louis meeting. -
Bismarck on South Africa.
Home, Aug. 30.—The Tribune pub.
lishes an interview, with ,Prince Bis-

clares that the British government is
acting foolishly in South Africa, for
getting the leSson taught it by th'.
Dutch in the Transvaal. He thinks,
however, that the government of the
Cape should be British rather than
Dutch. Prince Bismarck expressed ad-
miration for the endeavors_made by the
ing, "Formerly the social question could
be solved by the police, but now it re-
quires the military.”
