VASHINUTON. Oct. 4.-t8pcclaU -"The j
fight againat Cuban reciprocity la to be re
newed t the coining extraordinary session
uf congress in a manner that will ahow a
United front against the treaty." Thla
startling statement was made by a repre
sentative of the beet sugar Intereata In
Washington today. According to thla In
formant the fight will he made for purpoaca
vt delay during the extra session, and every
expedient known to parliamentary law will
be Invoked to send the treaty between
Cuba snd the I'nlted States over to the reg

ine the aummer It la learned that an active
campaign hue been carried on among those
who are lukewarm upon the question of.
reciprocity. Just how much progress the
opponenta of Cuban reciprocity have made
since the adjournment of the laat congress
la problematical. The heat augar manufac
turera do not hesitate to Bay that they ex
pect to postpone action until the regular
session, and they hope that with the aid of
general legislation they will be able to defer
action en the measure until late In tbe
spring, thereby being aeeured of another
crop. It la expected that Congressman
Llttlefleld of Maine, who la a pronounced
antagonlat to reciprocity, will lead in the
fight on the floor of the house of represen
tative againat the measure. He will have

Open "bop I Dlaeossed.
There la no denying the act that the
hosts of men who wear a union labor
badge are greatly exercised over Presi
dent Roosevelt's laat atatement declaring
fgnreservedly In favor of the principle of
an "open ahop" ao far aa the several d
parttnents of the government are con
cerned. IUa recent pronouncement on the
now famoua Miller caae haa given the lead
era of union labor something most unex
pected to think about and the manner In
which Prealdent Gonipera of the American
Federation of Labor and hla associates
answer tit prealdent shows the serlousrietA
of the altuatton. The Miller caae may te
an Important factor in the approaching
presidential election unless the very wlaest
counsels should prevail. There are those
who believe that Prealdent Roosevelt's
stand In favor of the man who tolls lrre
spectlve of whether he la or la not a
member of a union will result In a reforma
tion of the line upon which the American
Federation of Labor Is created. The pres.
ident'a atand will In a short time be aub
ject of debate In every council of organised
labor throughout the country. Hot heads
will endeavor to pass resolutions deroga
tory to the president and hla administra
tion will com In for scathing criticism. It
la therefore to be hoped that before any
decisive action la taken that the Miller
- ess in all lta phases shall be thoroughly
understood. As the outgrowth of the agi
tation in th Miller cas Public Pi Inter
Palmer haa appointed a commute of on
representative eaeh from th several di
visions Included In th government print
ing office for the purpose of reporting
price at present In vogue, together with
recommendation aa to future cost of print
ing, bookbinding, stitching, typesetting,
etc. It la a fact that th price regulat
ing boukblndlng in th government print
ing onVe are virtually th aame aa tho
adopted Immediately after the close of the
civil war. Eight or ten years ago a like
commission waa appointed to revise prices
and bring them down to present standards,
but th bookbinder prices were allowed to
stand aa they had stood for almost a
quarter century before. Th present agita
tion over the Miller case ha had th tend
ency to f:ua Inquiry tion lh government
printing office and those who are In a
( position tu know do not hesitate to aay
that out of all the agitation regarding
Miller's retention In office will come a re
adjustment ef the salaries which will show
a large saving to the government. It was
only the other day that one of th de
partment of th government had an ex
ceedingly large printing order to give out.

GROUT REPLIES JO MAYOR LOW
Says Endorsement by Tammany Waa
So Surprise to Fnsloa
Lenders.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Compiroller Grout
today iasued n statement In regard to tlio
statement made yesterday by Mayor Iaw
to the effect that Mr. Grout had once sug
gested to him the possibility that he might
be offered Tammany nomination, but that.
In that event he would continue to sup
port Mr. Low. His suggestion. Mr. Ixiw
said", he did not regard seriously. Mr.
Grout says In part:
"I think that Mr. Low will recall another
conversation with me about two weeks ago.
I told htm that the talk of an Indorsement
by Tammany seemed to be coming from
various directions. That I had deemed it
Impossible, but now began to seem pos
sible, though' I could not yet think It
probable. 1 said I could receiver It only
if made unconditionally, and that I would
not permit it to alienee me In the cam
paign; that under these conditions Ii
fceemed to me thai It would be a tower of
strength to Mr. Iviw that I might properly
accept. Mr. Ixw distinctly assented to thla
view.
1 wish people to recall that one week
ago Mr. Cutting said the same thing, that
is, that he could ae no reason why auch
a'i endorsement made without conditions
should not be accepted. I auppoa I may
not complain. If durlrg the past week' Mr.
Imw and Mr. Cutting, Under the Impulse
of Mr. Piatt. Mr. Woodruff and Mr. Bruce.
hav revised their opinions. Laat Monday
1 told Mr. Low that the only alternative
fairly left me waa either to accept all
nominations and endorsements, or else de
cline all. Including the fusion. He then re
fused to listen to such a declination, and
it was at his suggestion that the formal
notirlcationa proceeded that day. If he wer
ver to have taken the position he now
take ii would have been fairer to have
taken it a we;k ago.
"'The mayor concedes, therefore, that ho
did not protest when I mentioned to him
the proposition that the acceptance of
democratic endorsement would aid lilm be
cauae it would b ti helpful endorsement of
the fusion administration. I feel sure that
when he recalls the conversation I now
bring to his attention, 1. will admit that
he ttvm thought that such an endorsement
would lie a distinct advantage to him in
the campaign. By the action of the demo
cratic convention Mr. Low haa gained that
tactical advantage. He has gained all he
can gain thereby, hetlier Mr. Fornes and
I are retained on the fusion ticket or not.
And. having won the advantage which he
la quite willing should bo won for him. it
seems he la now willing, at a demand in
apired by T. C. Piatt and hla associate
to hav Mr. Fornes and myself cast from
his tlckei."

HARD TO SECURE SERVANTS
In Spite of Large Immigration ew
York Finds Domestic Help
earee.
ALBANY. N. Y.. Oct 4. The state de
partment of labor In Its Quarterly Bulletin
attributes the diminution of the unprece
dented degree of employment and wages re
ported In June is almost wholly to labor
disputes. "The lockout In the building
trades of Manhattan and Bronx boroughs
of New York," It says, "overshadowed all
other disputes of the summer and threw
several wage earner out or work." In
general, the Bulletin holds that, exclusive
of the building trades. New York industries
were generally as active In the summer of
1902, which was a banner year.
According to the Bulletin, Immigration
thia summer has exceeded even the record
breaking current of laat year,' and Indicates
the eagerness of the low paid laborers of
central, and southeastern Europe to enjoy
tbe prosperity which, on the whole,' still
rejgna In th United Statea. . The largest
contingents are still th Italians. Poles and
other races of southern and central Europe,
with a low Standard of education. Not
withstanding th great tide of immigration
the superintendent of tbe state free employ
ment bureau In New York City states at
lfo time during the quarter was he able to
meet the demands for domestic help.
"Prosperity Is so widely diffused," says
the -Bulletin, "thst the servant-keeping
class Is larger than -ever before, and has
thus created a demand that exceeds the
supply."

STURGLER BAY. Wis., Oct. 4. Purser
Blakefleld, one of the survivors of
Hackle)-, who was on the steamer Snoboy
gan when It reached here, gave a vivid de
scription of the wreck. He said:
"Tha squall struck us about ( o'clock
when we were Just north of Green Island.
It came suddenly and with terrific fury. I
was In the pilot house with the captain,
who had Just said that the elements looked
threatening and that he would try to run
to port. When the first fierce gust hit us
the captain tried to throw the boat up into
the water and his efforts to do so were un
availing. Then I Joined him at the wheel,
but our combined efforts wer not sufficient
to make It answer the helm.
"Then of a sudden It lifted and began to
fill" with water. Realizing that the pas
sengers and crew were becoming panic
stricken I left the captain in the pilot house
and ran aft to let down the lifeboat. By the
time I got aft Hackley was filling ao rapidly
that It waa apparent It would be impossible
to launch any boat. There came another
fierce blast and the upper works went by
the board. Then tho steamer began to sink
rapidly, and It was apparent Its settling on
the bottom would be a question of only a
few moment.
"Eighteen of the nineteen people aboard
were gathered on the deck, most of them
in a state of frantic panic. Aa the boat
sank. It was clear that there was only one
hop of any one being saved and that was
by clinging to-the wreckage. I gave orders
for the men to put tho women on it ilrst.
They did so, mid behaved well, every man
remaining on the sinking boat until the
women had been placed on wreckage. It
waa then a wild scramble on the part 'of
each man to get such pieces of planking as
he could secure and cling to It.
' Captain Stay nt Post.
"Every man found something to float on
except th captain, who remained In th
pilot house to the last, doing his best to
right the boat, and he finally went down
with it.
"We floated on different pieces, and for a
few minutes we were In sight of each other,
but soon darkness came on and we sep
arated. The last persona that I saw. except
for those with me, were the two Vincent
glrla from Egg Harbor, who were floating
I together. They seemed to have recovered
1 entirely fr.om their first fright and were
muklng a brave struggle for their Uvea, a
struggle which It now seems was In vain.
"Those of us who were fortunate enough
to escape clung to the wreckage all night,
bitten by the. cold wind and benumbed by
the colder water, and the surprise ia that
wu did not all die of exposure. We drifted,
I know not where, until picked up by She
boygan." Captain J. E. Johnaon of Sheboygan,
which picked up the survivors, said:
"This morninc when near Strawberry
Island I saw wreckage which I knew waa
fresh, and began to aearch the surroundings
in order to discover the survivors if there
were any. Down near Green Island I dis
covered five persons clinging to wreckage
and got them on board after considerable
difficulty. Soon I discovered two other men
on different pieces of planking and also
succeeded in getting them on board. The
men were in a state of g.-euf exhaustion and
the condition of some of them Is still
serious."
Hackley left Menominee, Mich... late
Saturday afternoon and was hound for

FIGHT OF A PROPERTY OWNER
Reason fur Samuel Kelchrnhera sk. j
ing an injonction Againat j
Great Western.
The restraining order Issued from Ju.lgs
sxter'a court lnte Saturday afternoon to
Ba
prevent the mayor from signing, and the
city council from passing, an ordinance
granting the Chicago Great Western rail
road the privilege of any right of way along
the city afreets until after a hearing In the
courts Is the fight of a property owner to
secure what he believes to be the protec
tion his rights demand.
Samuel Relchenberg. who asked for the
Injunction, owns a lot on Nineteenth street
adjoining the property which It Is the in
tention of the city officials to condemn nnd
transfer to the railway company. If the
Intention of the council Is carried out a
section, of Nineteenth street Just north of
the Intersection of Mason street will be
turned over to the railway. Thla will cause
the closing of Nineteenth at that point, as
that portion of the street will be the prop
erty of th company. A viaduct will be
built across Mason street near Nineteenth,
but none will be built serosa Nineteenth.
The lot belonging to Relchenberg will not
Join the contemplated right of way of the
company, but all traffic will be suspended
on Nineteenth street on account of the
closing of that thoroughfare In the vicinity
of the petitioner's property, and thia he
thinks will csuse his land to depreciate In
value.
City Attorney Wright gave it as his opin
ion that the Injunction would not be madd
permanent, although the question has never
been definitely decided in the courts of this
state. A like Injunction was at one time
dissolved In the courts of Iowa. The city
attorney said he believed the only redress
Relchenberg could claim would be secured
by a suit for damages against the railway
company.
W. D. McHugh. attorney for the railway
company, said he was quite confident thnt
the injunction would not operate to prevent
the passage of the ordinance. The railway
company hus acquired title to all the prop
erty abutting on that portion of Nineteenth
street which It Is desired to vacate.
Mr. Relchenberg asserts that a foreign
railway company has no right under the
law to ncqulrc real estate In the state of
Nebraska, but Attorney McHugh contends
that a company has such a right where It
has complied with the laws of the state by
Cling its articles with the proper authorl
tlei of the state, in that manner becoming a
domestic corporation.

BALTIMORE! Oct. 4 -Special srvlcea
were held at the Baltimore cathedral' today
In honor of the election of Plus X. ' Car
dinal Gibbons preached the sermon St high
mass, and was attentively listened to by
a congregation that filled the edifice. So
dense was. the throng which filled every
Inch 'of the cathedral, that the procession
of clergy, scminarlane and neoltytes fol
lowing the masses was delayed until hun
dreds of persons cleared the aisles of the
church. In addition to being the first ser
mon delivered at the cathedral by Cardinal
Gibbons for three months. It had been an
nounced that he would speak of the con
clave which elevated the new pontiff and
speak of the general conditions at thu Vati
can. At the conclusion of tho -. pontifical
mas, the pope's prayer was chanted by
the choir of thirty voices from St Mary's
seminary.
His eminence said in part:
The conclave which has Just tsken place,
marks a new and Important era In th
annals of tho American Catholic church.
This is the first time In the history of the
Christian reunion that tha I'nlted States,
or any part of thia western hemisphere was
ever associated with the other nations of
Christendom In selecting a successor to the
chnlr of Peter.
Predlet Other Cardinal.
1 would not at all lie surprised. If In the
next conclave the Catholic, church of th
I'nlted Statea will he represented bv sev
eral members of the Sarred college, sio that
the numlier of cardinals from our country
mav bo commensurate with the popula
tion, the. grandeur and the commanding In
fluences of the nation, nnd mav Vw. In
j keeping also with the numerical strength
or our nierarcny and. laity, and tne splen
dor and progress of our rellgioua and chari
table institution.
In the Judgments of mankind, th car
dinals of the church ar acknowledged to

telligenco of great discretion, of large ex
perience, and of Integrity of character. In
these respects I believe they are not sin- -passed.
If they are equalled by, any de
liberative .body In the whole world. The
cardinals, however, are not angels, but
men, subject to the usual infirmities and
ambitions of flesh and blood. And because
they are not exempt from the frailties In
cident to mankind, and because of th
peerless dignity of the supreme pontlfl-,
cate, aa well aa of the tremendous responsi
bility it Involves, tw-ery precaution that
human iiittiiuity arid err-et ince could sua
gost. haa been availed of In this,, In pre
ceding conclaves, so thst no cloud I should .
rest over the election of th ' successful' -candidate.'
. Such were th circumstance
which marked the election of our new chief

Election of th Pope. '
When the cardinal observed thst th suf
rages for him were augmenting h waa
vlethly disturbed and In u fervent speech he
implored his colleagues not to regard him
as a candidate. Contrary to hla wishes
the votes for him Increased. He then be
came alarmed and In a second speech In
most pathetic, language he again besought
the cardinals to forget his name, as he
could not accept a burden too heavy
for him to bear. All wore moved by the.

' checks were suffused vrllh blushes.- tears

by the will of God and accept the sacri

efforts to escape from his confinement than
did Cardinal Snrlo to escape from the yoke
of the papacy. With bis divine Master he
exclaimed: "Kuthor, if it be possible, let
this chalice, pass from me. Nevertheless,
nut my will, but Thine be done."
Man of the People.
When ids election was officially an
nounced, his florid countenance assumed a
deadly pallor and restoratives were applied
tn save him from fainting. . .
Tbe virtues of humility, sincerity, candor
and benevolence are itampod on his feat
ures. I can characterise In one sentence
by saying that he Is a man of God and
a man of the ix-ople. His name Is idol
ized In Venice and along the Adriatic on
account of his charities toward tha poor.
We need no' be aurprteed at the emotion
of the pope when Ids election was .an
nounced, for he van called to the mott
sublime position to whi.h any man on
earth can aspire.
The papacy is the most nncie it of all ex
isting dynast'es. It had flourished for cen
turies, when tne oldest empire now -xlt-ing
was established. A pontiff sat In the
chair of Peter when England waa a Roman
colony, and her Inhabitants were a rude,
uncultivated people, unacquainted with the
nrta and rcflnemeiita of civilized llf. pin
X la the 2vtth pop who, under Christ, hat
been called to rule tho church' of God.
Leo lifted up the Catholic church to n
higher plane of dignity and strength than
it had attainf-u since the day of Leo X.
He haa infused new life into the mlsalonarv
world. He has quickened with leneweii'
seal every bishop, priest and layman that
fell within the scope, of hla Influence.' He
haa left to his aucceeaor the precious heri
tage of a blameless lite and an apostolic
character.
