SUIT FOR AN INJUNCTION.
Effort to Deny the XTse of St. Louis
Pnrlc to "World's Fair.
ST LOUIS. July 25. In the Circuit
Court this afternoon, suit was brought to
restrain the Louisiana Purchase Expo
sition Company from using Forest Park
as a site for the "World's Fair to be held
here in 1903. The petition, which Is filed
by Henry H. "Werdes and 'John F. Berg
man, president and vice-president of the
Workingmen's Protective Association,
alleges that the ordinance Is a gross vio
lation of the charter and the rights of
citizens.
President Francis, of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, said he would con
sult counsel at once, but declared that
the suit would be of no consequence.
Messrs. "Werdes and Bergman declare
that they are taxpayers and are bringing
the injunction proceedings on behalf of
alt the taxpayers of St. Louis.
The ordinance passed by the municipal
assembly, the petition says. Is nothing
more than the leasing of the finest park
in the city to a private corporation for
its own pecuniary benefit. Finally, the
petition declares, the city is really a
partner with the exposition company In
leasing the park. It says that by voting
$3,000,000 in bonds to aid the fair the city
became a partner. The willingness of
the municipal assembly thus to lease
Forest Park was due, the petition states,
to Its expectation of sharing in the gain
with the private corporation.
Promoters Report Success.
ST. LOUIS, July 25. The committee on
organization of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Company has submitted a
number of highly satisfactory reports on
the promotion work being done at the
Pan-American Exposition among repre
sentatives from Central and South Amer
ican States. The committee has
recommended an additional section
to the by-laws providing that the
historical committee shall consist of
seven members, and shall be charged
"With the special, care and super
vision of all exhibits and matters pertain
ing to archaeological collections, the dis
covery, settlement and development of
tho Louisiana Territory, and shall be
charged with the duty 'of devising- a plan
for the erection and maintenance of such
tablets, monuments and buildings as may
in its judgment be appropriate for the
aforesaid matters and the commemora
tion of such historical events.
The committee op education is hard at
work to enlist the co-operation of all lead
ing educators in the country for its work
of making the educational exhibits at the
world's fair a department of much magni
tude and excellence, so as to show on the
largest scale possible the evolutton of
public education and higher school train
ing, not only in this country, but of the
whple civilized world. The Ministers of
Education in the different countries will
be consulted regarding their wishes, and
letters addressed In the official language
of the country are ready to 4)e mailed as
soon as the President has extended offi
cially an invitation to tho foreign coun
tries to participate in the exposition.
WILL COPY THE OREGON.
Navy Deportment Plans New Battle
ships on Her Lines.
"WASHINGTON, July 20. The Navy De
partment has taken action which is prac
tically an .official recognition of the su
perior qualities of the battle-ship Oregon.
A new series of battle-ships Is now to be
designed, which, while larger than the
Oregon, are, In general, a reproduction
of that vessel. The new warships are
to be 450 feet long, 75 feet beam and draw
24 feet Inches of water. These will be
the largest vessels in the United States
Navy, and tho engines designed tb pro
pel them will make them our fastest
battle-ships. A contract speed of 19 knots
will be developed by at least 20,000 horse
power. To f acilitatei long distance steam
ing, bunkers with 2000 tons capacity are
provided on each ship.
Not! only do the ships follow the design
of me Oregon in general, outline, in their
engines and capacity for long trips, but
the batteries, also, are to be heavy. These
vessels will each have a battery of four
12-inch guns, in two turrets, fore and aft;
20 seven-Inch guns in casements, and 20
three-Inch guns. There is a possibility,
however that the make-up of the battery
may be altered, substituting eight-inch
guns for the seven-Inch, four to be placed
in superimposed turrets and the remainder
in single turrets and in broadside. A
-Jarge number of smaller, rapid-fire guns
will go to make up the complete battery.
Thero has been a tendency of late years
for the battle-ships and armored cruisers,
to draw toward a common point. "When
these types became practically one, a de
cision was reached to separate them
again. These new battle-ships are the
first Sl their class to be designed under
the recent determination. Not only will
they be heavily armored, but? special pains
has been taken to give them 'speed and
endurance in chase. The accomplishments
of the Oregon In the Spanish "War clearly
demonstrated that speed is an essential
in battle-ships as well as In cruisers, and
the department has Oaken cognizance of
the fact. Moreover the long and suc
cessful trip of the Oregon around the
Horn demonstrated the possibilities ' of
battle-ships for making long cruises. This
feature has also been reproduced In the
new vessels. All in all, the Oregon, more
than any other type of vessel In the Navy,
has been followed out in the new and larg
er ships.

EMPEROR TO RESCUE.
London. Has It That He May Try to
Bring: the Boer War to n Close.
LONDON, July 26. "The rumor as to
early peace negotiations, which has per
vaded the House of Commons for some
days," says the Dally Express, 'has
taken the more definite form that Em
peror "William is soon to assume the role
of peacemaker. Mr. Kruger and his ad
visors are represented as having em
powered the ICaiser to act for the Boers,
and he Is considered willing to take the
initiative in order to popularize his re
lations with the German people, who dis
approve his friendship for Great Britain.
Something aparently is on foot, whether
Emperor "William is in or not."
Mr. Kruger's arrival at The Hague is
connected, the Daily Express thinks,
with her rumored peace "suggestions.
THE MILITARY CEXSORSHIP.
South African Correspondents Have
United in a. Revolt.
NEW YORK, July 25. The war corre
spondents in South Africa have united
in a belated revolt against the military
censorship, saye the London correspond
ent of the Tribune. Bennett Burleigh, a
veteran of many campaigns, describes the
censorship as a "bungle and a blunder,"
and declares that the sooner the whole
matter of unofficial correspondence Is put
upon a definite basis conformable to free
institutions the better It will be for ev
erybody. Edgar "Wallace asserts that
there Is nothing so far as the military
position is concerned to justify the main
tenance of censorship, and It is cre
ating a bad precedent, since the only
service which it can render is a political
one, savoring "somewhat of Russlar nay,
it is Krugerian." Howell Glynne,
who has remained. in the field
continuously since the outbreak of the
war, holds his peace. In addition to
the general restrictions based on mili
tary reasons, established at the opening
of the war, the following regulation en
ables any censor to reject or condense
every dispatch submitted to him:
"In future the length of correspondents'
wires will be in proportion to the import
ance of the news contained therein."
The correspondents consequently are
unable to justify by cable work the
expenses of their services. The
country, which is heavily taxed for a
costly war, does not know what is going
on, and Is forced to be content with
casualty Ust3 and Lord Kitchener's in
ventories of Boers killed, wounded and
surrendered, and of stock, rifles and am
munition captured. It must be stated,
however, in justice to the "War Office,
that the London journals were warned
In advance that their correspondents
would not be left at liberty to write and
to go as they pleased, and the papers
were asked to adopt practical meas
ures for reducing the number of men
in the service and for relieving the
wires from the pressure of newspaper
work. These consultations at tho out
break of the war were fruitless, and
scores of correspondents were eent to
South Africa without any attempt on the
part of the newspapers to regulate the
business of reporting campaign news.
"With long lines of communication and
with the wires clogged with routine mes
sages required for the movement of
troops and the provisioning -of a great
army, the press dispatches were neglect
ed, held back, condensed and mutilated.
It Is not easy to understand the
political motives for the suppression
of news from the seat of war. The gov
ernment has a well-drilled, obedient ma
jority in the Commons, and Is supported
by the great mass of opinion In the
country. There is no revolt against it
either on the Ministerial side or in the
constituencies where bye-elections are
held. The opposition is faction-rent and
demoralized, and quite Incapable of of
fering strenuous resistance to government
policies; and the pro-Boer agitators have
made no impression upon public Opinion.
There is no alternate government possible
while the campaign remains in progress,
and Ministers have no conceivable rea
son for dreading possible revelations from
the seat of war. Some of the Incidents
which have been suppressed would bear
heavily against the advocates of the
Dutch cause, both here and on the con
tinent. The Vlakfonteln atrocities, for
example, fully confirmed in detail,
would tend to alienate the sympathy of
irreconcilable Radicals and admiring for
eigners for the Boers. The fact that the
horrible story of the shooting: of the
wounded has been suppressed for about a
month, and left to come out little by lit
tle in soldiers' letters to their friends at
home, excites suspicion that there may
have been drastic measures on the Brit
ish side in effecting the clearance of vari
ous districts and in establishing concen
tration camps.
.Boer Convoy Captureil.
LONDON. July 26. The War Office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria:
"Garrat's column captured a Boer con
voy, taking 25 prisoners, near Reltzeburg.
Our casualties were eight. French's col
umns are gradually pushing the enemy
north Into Cape Colony."

WORTHY OF A MONUMENT.
Dr. McLoughlin's Memory Should Be
Perpetuated.
A monument Is talked of for Dr. John
McLoughlln, who was for many years
the representative of the Hudson's Bay
Company at old Fort Vancouver, on the
Columbia, says the San Francisco Pacific.
His remains lie in the old cemetery at
Oregon City, where he resided after sev
ering his connection with the Hudson's
Bay Company, under such circumstances
and In such a manner as to show himself
worthy all honor on the part of the
American people.
In those days, when England and Amer
ica were striving for the possession of
that great Northwest country, John Mc
Loughlln rose above all selfishness, above
all national prejudice and self-interest,
and showed himself as one who loved
his fellow-men. He never asked wheth
er the man coming to his door was an
Englishman or an American, but was he
in need. Canoe after canoe of Immigrants
who had consumed their all in crossing
the mountains came down the Columbia,
and were helped by McLoughlln to settle
In the Valley of the "Willamette, although
he knew that this only made more certain
the possession by the United States of all
territory south of the Columbia. Once
when these Immigrants were coming down
the river in great numbers; a Cascade
chief stalked up to Dr. McLoughlln and
said: "Indian kill Boston man; ho friend
to Indian; Englishman here first." With
anger flaming from his eyes, McLoughlln
turned and thrust him from him, saying:
"Only a dog would talk so; you are not
a gentleman; you are no chief; you are
only a little man. Never speak to me
again. I will not look at you." The sav
ago slunk away abashed, and was never
again seen at Vancouver. Hour afterhour
that day and far into the nlghjt the old"
hero stood In the downpouring rain by
the river landing, giving welcome to the
weary, hungry, ragged immigrants, pass
ing them with light hearts along to the
comfort and cheer of his own fireside up
at the fort. One word from him, one look,
perhaps, of dislike or enmity, would have
precipitated on the part of Indians of the
"Oregon country" an attack which, In a
short time would have wiped the Amer
icans out of that Northwest region. He
could not give it, and he could not refrain
from giving them food and clothing nor
from furnishing them with seed for crops,
although conscious of tho fact that by
so doing he was Incurring the displeasure
of many of his countrymen, who were
less human; and desirous at almost every
hazard of Jiolding for themselves that
vapt game preserve.
Finally, from the great company of
which he had long been the chief factor
there came the question, "What right has
those Immigrants with boat-loads of sup
plies, to nurse their sick In our hospitals,
to loan them seed and agricultural Im
plements to open farms on the Willam
ette?" Peremptorily came the order at
length that was to put an end to such
afisistance. And then the heroic in John
McLoughlln again stood forth gloriously,
and he said: "Gentlemen, as a man of.
common humanity, I could not do other
wise than to give those naked and starv
ing people to eat and to wear of our
stores. I foresaw clearly that It aided
the American settlement of the country,
butthls I cannot help. It Is not for me,
but for God, to look after and take care
of the consequences. I have done only
what, any one truly worthy the name of a
man could not hesitate to do. I ask you
not to bear the debts; let them be my
own. Let me retain the profits upon these
supplies and advances made to settler.3,
and I will cheerfully assume all payments
to. the company. All that I can do hon
orably for my company shall be done.
Beyond that I have no pledges. Shall 1
leave these Americans to starve, or drive
them from the country? Gentlemen, If
.such be your orders, I can serve you no
longer." And out from, the employ of the
Hudson's Bay Company went John Mc
Loughlln, surrendering an annual stipend
of $12,000, and largely that great Influence
which had been his for nearly a quarter
.of a century. He became later an Amer
ican citizen, and many there are who re
member yet his good deeds while he lived
along by the Falls of the Willamette. Dur
ing those last year3, as of old. no on
ever sought his door in vain. "We must
nover leave the house alone, mother," h
said once to his wife, "some immigrant
might come that needed our help."
For more than two score years he has
rested there on the banks of the Willam
ette. No proper monument marks his
resting place, but a painting, placed two
years ago in the Capitol at Salem, com
memorates his humaneness' and helpful-
efe
"i't-p
ness, as shown in early years at Van
couver, on the Columbia.
It Is to be hoped that this talk of a
monument at Oregon Clty'wlll not be sim
ply talk. He Is worthy the beet that can
be reared there. And not only that, but a
stately shaft commemorating his virtues
should stand ere long on the banks of
that great river whose water go rushing
down through the mountain gorge to the
sea. Canoe loads of needy immigrants no
longer glide along down its waters, the
helping hand of no chief factor is now
required at Vancouver, but every year,
because of its grand scenery, the Colum
bia is becoming a more traveled highway;
In a year or two Vancouver will be the
crossing place by bridge for all the travel
between Portland and Puget Sound and
the East by the northern routes. At that
point, therefore, there should b reared
a stately shaft that would forever stand
as an inspiration to the- passing multi
tudes to nobleness In living. Such a
monument should be the joint work of
Washington and Oregon, fhe two great
commonwealths carved out of that covet
ed territory, between which flow tho wat
ers of that river adown which came the
canoes of those men and women in the
presence of whose great need Dr. John
McLoughlln subordinated patriotism to
humaneness and gained place among hu
manity's Immortals. v

PEACE MISSION FAILED
GARLAND'S VISIT TO STEEL MANU
FACTURERS UNFRUITFUL.
I .
Latter Said Peace Negotiation "Were
Off Hannn -Will Bo Aslccd to
Help Settle Strike.
PITTSBURG, July 25. The peace mis
sion of Mr. Garland, who went to New
York, on behalf of the conservative ele
ment in the Amalgamated Association,
has failed. Mr. Garland was unable to
secure from the steel manufacturers any
terms on which settlement could be
reached. They would not recede an Inch
from the attitude they have taken, hold
ing that the workers' leaders precipitated
the fight, and peace negotiations are off.
At the same time, a more powerful influ
ence is being sought to carry the olive
branch to J., P. Morgan. Joseph Bishop,
secretary of the Ohio State Board of
Arbitration, is working as mediator, it is
learned from high authority, and plans,
It Is understood, to reach the combine peo
ple through Senator Hanna. Mr. Bishop
is acting with the approval of the Amalga
mated leaders, and carries credentials
from President Shaffer explaining the at
titude of the association. There is little
doubt that Senator Hanna will receive the
association mediator graciously, and it Is
expected he will promise to exercise his
best endeavors toward a settlement.
About his success with the combine people
much doubt Is expressed. When seen to
night concerning his trip to New York,
Mr. Garland'refused to discuss the mat
ter, saying:
"I am not talking." He said he made
many trips to New York on official busi
ness, and this trip was one of them.
President Shaffer said if Mr. Garland
had gone to New York on a peace mission,
it was not with his sanction or at his
solicitation.
SHAFFER IS SATISFIED.
In a More Hopeful Mood Than He
Has Been For Some Time.
PITTSBURG, July 25. President Shaf
fer, of the. Amalgamated Association, was
in a more hopeful mood today than he
has been for some time. He declared he
was perfectly satisfied with his personal
inspection of the conditions in Wellsvllle,
and apprehended no difficulty In keeping
his men In line at that place. President
Shaffer evidenced no surprise when men
tion was made of the criticism that had
been offered "by other labor leaders of his
bringing on thjs battle at this time. He
said he expected criticism from many peo
ple, but It did not alter his position, nor
the conviction he held that he was per
fectly right. This afternoon, Organizer
Flinn, of the American Federation of La
bor, was a caller at the offices of the
Amalgamated Association. He held a
long conversation with President Shaffer
and set at rest all stories to the effect
that the Federation was not In sympathy
with the Amalgamated Association by
saying the entire organization was ready
and willing to assist the Amalgamated
Association, Doth financially and morally
In this strike, whenever this assistance
was asked.
Regarding the methods being pursued by
the Amalgamated Association In fighting
the steel trust. It was said by officials
of the association today that the organiza
tion Is complete; that association is ful
ly prepared for battle, and had equal fa
cilities for learning the movements of the
manufacturers, as it had for studying Its
own movements. Further, the Amalga
mated Association Is not compelled to hire
spies for this purpose. It has clever men
In Its organization who are just as capa
ble of learning all that was desired as
paid detectives were. The president denied
flatly the published story that his mys
terious mission to "Wellsvllle was for the
purpose of getting detectives into the
mill in the disguise of nonunion men.
Up to 8 o'clock no change whatever had
taken place at Wellsvllle. None of the
workmen were molested today as they
went to and from work. No new men ar.
rived this morning. The strikers did not
congregate about the streets as usual.
Most of them remained at the camp on
the West Virginia side of the river or
havo secured employment elsewhere. It
Is apparent, however, that the company's
forces at that point are slowly accom
plishing their Intention of operating the
plant with non-union men. Last night a
number of new men succeeded in elud
ing the strikers and getting Inside the
works. There Is no doubt the visit of
President Shaffer to that place yesterday
was made In order to prevent any pos
sible cause for the Interference of the
courts by Impressing on the strikers the
choice of remaining orderly. Manager
Brookman, of the Wellsvllle plant, stated
today that his company would have every
mill In the plant running full next week.
No new men were Imported and the mills
are still at work. Developments at that
point are being watched closely by both
sides.
Information from McKeesport today
leads to the belief that 'the big mill of the
National Tube Company In that city
would shortly be Involved In the strike.
This was pay day at the works, and two
prominent members of the new Amalga
mated lodge that was organized there last
Saturday received notice that they were
no longer required. It was reported that
other members of the union received or
wilL get a similar notice when they draw
their pay. That this will bring on a con
flict at tho mill there Is little doubt, for It
is a blow at the very privilege that tho
Amalgamated Association Is striving for
at the other mills of the steel trust. "While
McKeesport has been quiet up to this
time, there Is a feeling of repressed ex
citement among the men over the pros
pect of extending the strike to the Na
tional Tube Works. The declaration of
Mayor Black last night that he would
not permit deputies In the idle mills or
allow the city police to guard the com
pany's property has caused a sensation.
Hundreds of millworkers from Home
stead, Duquesne and McKeesport marched
In a body to tho Mayor's office today to
thank him. The railroads are beginning
to feel the effects of tho strike in the
countermanding of orders for coal ship
ments that had been placed by the dif
ferent mills previous to the bglnnlng of
the strike.
An Important movement on the part
of the Amalgamated Association is re
ported to be contemplated in Its effort to
win out In Its present strike. It was as
serted in the city today that all the ar
rangements have been completed for
unionizing the fireside plant of the Na
tional Tube Company at Benwood, near
Wheeling. This plant Is a part of tho
United States Steel Corporation, and Is
a most Important one, employing as It
does upward of 2500 hands. Heretofore
It has employed only non-union men, and,
although there Is an organization In the
plant, no movement has ever been made
to antagonize the management. The
men, except the highly skilled workmen,
are generally foreigners, and It Is stated
by a prominent labor leader that the en
tire force, or a large majority, is now
ready to cast lots with the Amalgamated
Association, missionaries having been la
boring with them for some time past.
The usual silence by the combination offi
cials on strike subjects Is steadily main
talned.

WOODARD, CLARKE & CO.
POPULAR-PRICE DRUGGISTS FOURTH and WASHINGTON
used their best endeavors to induce the
men to return to their homes in Ala
bama. They Informed the colored men of
the actual state of affairs In Melrose
Park, where SCO armed men were awaiting
the arrival of their train, determined that
they should not be allowed to alight In
the village. Their statements alarmed
the negroes more than ever, and finally
five of them stepned off jhe train and
made their way Irftji Chicago, where they
sought an interview with Chief of Police
O'Nell, asking prqtgctifin' which he could
not give, as thj&roubjji was not within
the city HmIt3.Aftepthe five men had
left the train J&Sjcome to Chicago, the
fears of those refon tHe-traln increased
greatly, and it was with difficulty that
the trainmen managed to keep them from
runnig off In a panic. Nearly all of the
men declared they would not go to Mel
rose Park, and if taken there on the
train they would refuse to get off.
At 2 o'clock Marshal Raubkrau, of the
town of La Grange, ordered the train
bearing the colored men out of the vil
lage. The train was backed out and
placed on a siding at Salt Creek, two
miles north of La Grange. In the mean
time attorneys for the steel company
called upon Sheriff Magerstadt and asked
that the company be given ample protec
tion against the mob violence which was
threatened. They stated positively that
the laborers would be landed In the shops
of the company late this afternoon wheth
er the Sheriff furnished any aid or not.
"I have Just received a telegram from
Adjutant-General Reese, offering me the
aid of the State Militia if I need It,"
said Sheriff Magerstadt, after his confer
ence with the attorneys, "but I will not
need It. I have sent naif a dozen men to
Melroae Park simply to make a. report
to m& on the conditions there. If they
say that a mob of 300 armed men are pa
trolling the streets, as the officials of
the company Inform me. I will swear In a
number of Deputy Sheriffs and will pre
serve order at all hazards. However, I
am not going to call upon the militia, as
the county Is capable of preserving the
peace, whatever happens."
Out at Melrose Park the armed citizens
remained on watch urftll assured the' ne
groes were not coming, when they dlsj
persed.

American Kindness.

Shortly after the close of the rebellion,
I questioned many persons who had been
in the most sanguinary contests to find
whether they had observed any Instances
where prisoners, taken in the heat of bat
tle, had been harmed. As the result of
this inquiry, which was made of over 100
ex-soldiers. I learned of one or two cases
where prisoners had been shot by mem
bers of a rabble home guard, men gen
erally of a much lower grade than tho em
bodied troops and without adequate con
trol of orflcors. Among disciplined troops
there was but one example of cruelty, if
such It may be called, where a Federal
soldier, as he clutched the musket of a
surrendering Confederate, slapped him on
tho face; and he was at once put under
arrest for his brutal conduct-.
In the campaign of 1862 between the ar
mies of Buell and Bragg for tho posses
sion 0f Kentucky, movements which led
to the fiercest action of the war, the con
ditions were such as have elsewhere al
ways brought vast suffering to noncom
batants. It was a more truly Internecine
struggle than occurred in any other part
of the great field. The state was di
vided against Itself, communities and
families were rent. In Instances, prob
ably numbering thousands, brothers, or
fathers and 'sons, were In opposing ar
mies. It is doubtful If in any other time
have people of our race been so moved
by fury to tne foundations of their souls.
Yet at the end of it I recall that none of
the many I questioned knew of harm hav
ing come to woman or child; that when
ever a ling of truce gave tho chance of
meeting, there was expression of a mutual
anxiety to "keep the lighting clean,"
and a determination to insure this end by
slaying all offenders against decency.
