Battleship Is Vanguard of Assembling
Fighting Craft.
The United States battleship, Ne
braska, Captain Nicholson arrived at
San Francisco from Magdelena bay as
the vanguard of a fleet which will be
in San Francisco harbor by Saturday,
and which, though not so large as that
on its way here under Admiral Evans'
command, will be the most imposing
array of fighting machines ever as
sembled inside the Golden Gate. Ad
miral Dayton's "big four," the West
Virginia, Maryland, Colorado, and
Pennsylvania, and Admiral Sibree's big
armoured cruisers, Tennessee and
Washington, will be here Friday and
will be joined Saturday by the South
Dakota and California, now anchored
between here and Hare Island. These,
with the Nebraska, will make nine big
first-class warships with about 800 of
ficers and men on each vessel.
MAY PUT BACK THE MOTTO
President Overridden in the "In God
We Trust" Controversy.
President Roosevelt was overridden
by the house committee on coinage,
weights and measures, when by unani
mous vote it was agreed to report fa
vorably the McKinley (111.) bill requir
ing the restoration to gold and silver
coins of the national motto, "In God
We Trust." During the discussion Rep
resentative Knowland of California,

ommend the placing upon all clearing

tion, "I know my Redeemer liveth."
LONDON TIMES ON MARKET.
Litigation Over the Disposal of the

The London Times is still in the
market, according to a statement made
by the solicitors now engaged in the
litigation over the newspaper's dis
posal. Its proprietors, it is said, favor
its sale by some form of public compe
tition, and any proposal or scheme in
this direction will be submitted to the
Judge having charge of the case. Mean
while, C. F. Mosley Bell, the manager
of the Times denies that he is acting
as the prospective purchaser for an
American syndicate.

"Any person who is or has been by
trade or employment for wages a me
chanic, artisan or laborer, or engaged
in any menial duty, or who has ever
been employed in or about boats or in
manual labor or money or wages, is
barred from rowing on a crew in the
regatta next summer at the Olympic
games in England, even if lie is an
American." That is in substance the
announcement issued the other day
by Julian W. Curtiss, who, with James
Pilkinton, formed the special commit
tee on rowing of the American
Olmpian committee. It was included
in a lengthy statement regarding the
conditions under- which the Olympian
rowing races will be contested. The
inclusion of these qualifications, al
though in a great measure expected,
will come as a sort of shock to many
American oarsmen. It shows that the
American committee has bowed to the
will of the Britons in this matter, for
the English believe that only "gentle
men" should compete in athletics. If
by any chance the American commit
tee should choose as a member of the
Olympic crew a man who at some
time or other during his life had to
ply a trade for a living he can be
promptly protested by the English
men. The statement further sets
forth that the regatta will be held at
Henley-on-Thames on July 28 and the
following days, over a course about a
mile and a half in length. The events
will be races for eights, fours and
pairs and sculling races. Only two
entries are allowed from each coun
try. Entries must be made by
June 1.
Fielder Jones' declaration that he
Will be one of the White Stockings'
next season has brought comfort to
the thousands of American ' league
fans in Chicago. In the estimation of
most every one of the rooters the re-;
turn of the Sox leader means that the
South side team will be a pennant
winner instead of a runner-up. The
recent financial trouble is the real
reason for the return of Jones. "I
don't feel any more like playing now
than I did last fall, when I finished
the season, but I guess I will have to
JONE5
play," was the way Fielder Jones re
plied to the question whether he was,
going to sign. "Any one that has a
good job at the present time la foolish
to quit it. I was fully determined to
go into business when the season
closed last fall, but the financial
stringency has made it appear an un
wise tiling for me to do. My wife
does not want to go west to live, and
of course that has had a big influence
on me. It has never been a question
of salary at all with me. I have never
tried to hold up President Comiskey
and would not try to do so. I have,
always accepted whatever terms he
has offered me and have been satis
fled." Dan Kelly, the Oregon sprinter, who
is credited with running 100 yards in
9.3-5 seconds, after considerable argu;
ment as. to the authenticity of the
figures, makes the statement that no
man will ever be able to run the 100
yards in nine seconds flat unless the
runner can beat the starter's gun in
getting away from the mark. Kelly
first made this statement when Arthur
Duffey made the prediction that 100
yards could and would be stepped off
in that time. Kelly, in a recent letter
to a friend, said: "The only way the
nine-second mark could be reached
would be to beat the gun. To legiti
mately do the 100 yards in nine sec
onds is impossible. The speed limit
will have been reached ' when the
sprinter is developed who can do the
distance in 9 2-5 seconds." Men well
posted in the sprinting game think
Kelly Is right, and point to the fact
that it Is well known that several rec
ords now on the books were made by
"beating the gun." Possibly Kelly's
9 3-1 was made in that way.

Washington. It is now only a few
days until the law takes effect which
requires interstate railroads' to' place
their train dispatchers on a nine-hour
schedule. A ruling by the interstate
commerce commission practically de
stroyed the hope of several railroads
to have the day put off until they can
provide themselves with extra em
ployes and make arrangements for
putting on nine-hour shifts a duty
they say it has been impossible to per
form up to the present. The decision
by the commission settles a controver
sy that has been on for several weeks
between trie heads of certain railroads
and that body, and unless congress in
tervenes with an extra proviso to the
law passed last March the railroads
will have to come to time on March 4
and arrange their telegraphy shifts in
such a manner that no man shall serve
more than nine hours out of 24 in
offices operated night and day.
Chicago. In spite of reductions in
all departments of the railroads dur
ing the last two months of last year,
when the financial stringency was
most keenly felt, reports of earnings
and expenditures of the road filed
with the interstate commission dis
close the fact the aggregate amount
Ipaid by the roads in salaries far ex
ceeded that of previous years, and
reached the immense sum of $1,041,
716,000. This aggregate pay roll in
cluded the names of 1,607,788 employes
over 212,000 miles of track, or 94 per
cent, of the total mileage of the com
pany. The average yearly salary for
1907 was $647.
Washington. There is at present
before congress a bill -regulating child
labor in the , District of Columbia.
Among intelligent persons there is no
longer any difference of opinion as t6
the evils resulting from this form of
labor evils to the individual affected
and to the whole social system as well
and nearly every state has some
legislation more or less effective in
remedying these evils. Still, there is
vast room for improvement, particu
larly in the mill districts of the south,
and it is to be hoped that the good
work will go on.
London, England. In England the
strike of hatters terminated some
what unexpectedly, but the terms are
creditable to both parties and resulted
in an agreement for five years. The
Agreement provides that the terms
and conditions in force on July 30 last
(shall remain in force for five years
jfrom that date. Employers are to find
work for all the old hands and ap
prentices are to be fairly distributed
over all departments.
Boston. An effort is being made to
bring all the teamsters' unions into
ne big joint council. Some of the
;biggest and strongest of the teamsters'
.unions have not been members of the
local council, owing to certain conten
tions, and their demand for enforce
ment of law adopted at the last con
vention. London, England. One of the first
fruits of the railway settlement in
England is the action of the Midland
Railway company's order relating to
,Sunday duty. In a certain limited
sense a six-day week is ' established ;
the grades required to work seven
days a week are to receive extra pay
tor Sunday duty.
Lancaster, Pa. The Susquehanna
Iron and Steel company posted notices
that it would start up its pipe and roll
ing mills at Columbia, near here, and

New Bedford, Mass. For the pur
pose of adopting some measures of re
lief for weavers who are working on
short time in the cotton and yarn
mills here, the executive board of the
weavers' unions issued a call for a
meeting of the unions. The call states
that some heads of families have only
from a day ' to a day and a half of
work a week and that there is much
suffering.
Chicago.-" Two thousand men were
put to work when the plate, slab and
structural mills of the Illinois Steel
company in South Chicago were ' re
opened. Five thousand more men will

Washington. Orders have been Is
sued at the navy department to put
Into effect a furlough system at the
Washington navvy yard as a means of
ameliorating the conditions arising
from a lack of funds to carry on the
rolls, the full force of employes needed
(at the yard. By this system each em
ploye will lose several days a month,
but all will be retained on the rolls.
Philadelphia. One thousand men,
formerly employed by the Pennsyl
vania Steel company at Steelton, Pa.,

Boston. Mayor Hibbard announced
his intention to be free from the dic-
tations of labor unions. In an inter
view on his , selection of James H.
Smith of Brighton as superintendent
of the municipal printing plant, he
said: "I believe in the union shop;
but I want a man that will be with
me wholly In what I am trying to do
at the city hall. For that reason -li
have made up my mind not to appoint
to office any active members, of a
union, for I am' convinced that their
first interest will be for their organi
zation and not for the mayor."

Elgin, III. The Elgin National
Watch factory will not operate on Sat
