The Political Weather Man
MUNTRKAL. July. 19.-A new turn was
(elvrn to the situation In the strike of thi
Grand Trunk railroad conductors and train
nun herw shortly after noon, by the receipt
of a dispatch from ths minister of labor ar
Ottawa, 'offering on behalf of the 'govern
ment to appoint a board of arbitration on
tlm trouble between the ceiiipuuy and its
employe, the finding to be binding on both
and the government to bear all expenses in
connection therewith.
The offer was submitted in the form of a
letter to President Hayes of the Grand
Trunk and to the head officials of the
unions Involved, and is now under consid
er nt I ti by them.
While there is no intimation of how they
will act upon the offer it Is known that
Mroiig pressure Is being brought to bear
tixm both sides to accept. It Is thought
that from the fact that President If aye
bus already made an offer to arbitrate thai
difficulty that the company at least will
accede to the proposal.
Advices frcm all divisional points of the
Oraad Trunk In Canada and from Port
Huron and Detroit Indicate that the com
pany Is. having greater difficulty in keep
lntf Its tmitis moving than was at first
apparent. At some points no tickets are
being sold because of the Inability of the
company to guarantee a complete journey.

Trunk railroad at 1:30 last night, and
obeyed by fully S.500 conductors and train

Kansas Insurgent Talks of Wlatleld
Speech, lu Which Ha Makes Claim
of Exposing Alleged Trust
Orgnnlintlon.
TOPEKA, July 19. Senator Joseph L,
Brlstow, the "insurgent," In a speech here
this afternoon, pronounced Speaker Cannon.
, poor Judge of rubber. Speaker Cannon, at
Burllngam yesterday, replying to a former
speech of Senator Brlstow's said the sen
ator had either'"wlllfully or knowingly or
ignorantly," misrepresented the facts when
he said that the Increased duty on manu
factured rubber had resulted In a lament-
tile decrease In importations of that com
modity.
The senator, Mr. Cannon said, liked .to
brand everybody who disagreed with him
as dishonest and that these remarks on
rubber gave him a chance to accuse Mr.
Aldrich of being a member of the rubber
trust.
Robber and Rubber.
Mr. Cannon," said Mr. Brlstow this aft
moon, "forgets that there is rubber and
rubber. When he says that, the Increased
uties on manufactured rubber did not re
suit in a decrease in Importation he would
seem to refer only to hard rubber, the kind
that Is sometimes used In making rules.
Let the speaker look up the robber question
nd he will find that there are several
kinds of elastic or soft rubber to which my
statements apply exactly." ; "
I am told that Speaker' Cannon said he
did not know that Senator Aldrich organ
ized a tf ust. In my ' Winf leld address I
set forth facts as contained In official
documents, in Poor's Manual and in the
Wall Street Journal, which are considered
reliable authority by every business man In
this country. "Whether or not Senator Aid'
rich Is guilty of a technical violation of
the statutes I do not know. It la the duty
of the attorney general of the United
States to Investigate violations of the Sher
man anti-trust law. But I do know that
he Is guilty of violation of political 'de
cency, of political honesty.
"It would have been better taste for
Speaker Cannon to demand that his com
mittee of representatives stand by the
house tariff schedule than to ask them to
siana xor tne Aiaricn schedule, and then.
that' Cannon t hould come to Kansas to de
fend the tariff bill and the men who dic
tated Its passage."

EVEN CHINA IS COMING TO FRONT
He Says Balky Mnlea Should Get Out
of the Team.
ALMA, Kan., July 19. Speaker Joseph G
Cannon arrived at this county seat town
ahortly before noon today and waa escorted
by an automobile parade to the court-house
lawn, where he-delivered the speech' of
this his last day in the Kansas primary
campaign.
Mr. Cannon plunged directly Into an at
tack on insurgency. "Whenever," said he.
"you hear a man talking about how In con
gress he Is going to kick out of the party
traces, telling about how he Is going to be
a reformer and straighten out things when
you get a fellow that talks like that you
want te watch him.
i oenevo in organisation when I see peo
ple proclaiming their own wisdom, and that
they and God are a majority and that they
won't work with anybody else. When I
hear that kind of talk I sometimes think
that the Insane asylums are not large
enough.
Why am I talking this way? Because I
am trying to show that -we must co-operate.
I . believe in two parties one to watch the
other. There ought to be a well-organized
minority to hold the majority In check.
"I have high, respect for a man who hon
estly differs from me on governmental
policy. I am a republican every day. I am
a partisan and have been since I voted for
Lincoln."
At 'this point Speaker Cannon discussed
the prosperity of the country since 1897, and
then said:
"I sometimes wonder why men that kick
out from their party organization think
they are wiser than anybody else, why they
can t learn something. There are lots of
things that I don't get my way about In
the republican party, but I abide by the
will of the majority. , Tha man that kicks
out of the traces like a balky mule ought
to get out of the team. .
"In the framing of tho tariff bill seven
senators Brlstow, La Follette, Clapp, Bev
erldge and company and twenty-three rep
resentatives said If you won't let us sav
how this tariff shall be framed we won't
play In the game. Now, who were the
czars?'
Japan, Korea and Philippine Islands
Are Taking; On Modern Ideas
from the United

"The American spirit is abroad in the na
tions," said former Vice President Fair
banks, sitting In his room at Hotel Rome,
"I waa -never so much Impressed with this
fact as while traveling on a splendidly built
railroad running through China to the
boundary of Mongolia. On the hills were
the ancient fire towers, now ' falling into
ruins, by which signaling used to be done
in the days of the Invading hordes;' while
a short distance away we were proceeding
through the country In the utmost comfort.
China and her people feel that we are
truly ner friend. In sentiment and In verity,
and It was flattering to, witness the ex
hibition of this feeling while wa lingered
In that country.
'In .the Philippines, too. we found remark
able evidences of the progress worked, by
American spirit and methods. Away off In
the interior of the islands we were, one day
being taken about In American automobiles.
when we came to a school house. We were
taken In and on . the blackboard was the
question. 'Name the American states east
of the Mississippi river.' Some of tbe
names had already been written, and just
as we entered a very Intelligent . young
woman waa writing Indiana. Then the
pupils were told that we were from that
state, and the effect was quite' startling.

Ancient history tells how cackling geese
awoke the gusrds In time to save the burn

since been shown to the goose family In
acknowledgment of that thoughtful cackle
fest A few skeptics, however, have gone
on record with pessimistic declaration to
the effect that the geese merely cackled
because they, bad nothing at the moment
more urgently bulletined on their nightly
calendar, and that after all, there was
really no studied desire to sav the Scorch

Which contrary , interpretation of the
cackling geeae and tbe burning city epi

whether a goose has sense. If any there

who received a rousing band In conclusion
pointed to relations between Dallas and
Fort Worth as proof of the efficacy of the
advertising clubs. "Formerly they were
hostile and jealous," said th speaker, "but
through the ad clubs the two North Texas
cities have become friendly and neigh

fiery and forceful speakers, when he arose
to the occasion at the Field elUh. He de
clared that the expert 'trade of the coun- -try

H. B. Humphrey of Boston Was another
speaker who had some Instruction to glv.
He described the way Boston has or
ganized its ad clubs and organisation Into
a, sort of board of trade to advertise tba
city. Th speaker then axplained how,
by offering prizes for municipal adver
tisements and using the local papers, an
city may well exploit Itself.
Timothy W. LaQuatt of Dei Moines also
had a word to aay about advertising &
city. The expedients had been, pretty well
developed In that city, h Said. He then
tendered an offer of transportation from

Texas Visitor's Adventure
With Misguided Trunk
This is not exactly a heart-throb story of
the Joe Mitchell 'Chappie type, yet there
was more or less heart fluttering when
j William A. Rice, business manager of the
Amarlllo Polly Js'ews, who Is In Omaha
for a summer vacation, opened a trunk that
he supposed to be his, but wasn't.
Expecting to be away from Amarlllo for
several weeks, Mr. Rice' packed his trunk
rather liberally as to sartorial equipment,
and soon after arriving In Omaha he had
the trunk rempved to his room. Desiring to
gentleman would consent to wear. What
r. Klce said well, his utterance of sur
prise may well be omitted. Being of an
Inquiring trend, he searched further and
brought out as fine a wardrobe as modiste
ana laaie' rurnlsher ever sent forth.
Somewhere along the line the baggage
man made a mistake and somewhere else
along the line there Is a woman pining
for her misguided wearing apparel. From
papers found in the trunk, Mr. Rlc deduces
that the trunk he acquired by mlsteVe bo-
longs to woman .who luumv,i trn.

be cpened the trunk and delved In, when ihlvalrous. as all Texane are, he has dla.
