TO UNITE LONGSHOREMEN.
British Delegates Affirm That as
Their Expectation.
New York. Oct. 29. Recent reports
that efforts are being made to amalga
mate the unions In America and Eng
land of all dockers and longshoremen
are confirmed by William Abraham
and James Wlgnall, delegates from the
Ilrltlsh trades union congress to the
convention of the American federation
of labor, to be held In San Francisco.
"I cam here to strengthen the In
ternational relations between the labor
organisations," suld Abrahan. "The
Ilrltlsh trades union congress has de
cided to do all In Its power to aid or
ganized labor In America whenever
possible and hopes that labor organi
sations of America ' will reciprocate
whenever they can.
"My objection Is to hasten the day
when labor shall be organized on a
grand International basis."
"The feeling among the British
dockers la for amalgamation with the
American longshoremen and trans
port men." sold Delegate Wingall,
"and I am here to find out If there la
similar feeling here."
CHICAGO MUST HAVE SUBWAY.
Has $2,000,000 On Hand With Which
te Begin.
Chicago, Oct. 29. A comprehensive
subway system for Chicago will be
started before April, 190S, according to
Alderman Milton J. Foreman, chair
man of the transportation committee
of the city council, The system as
outlined by Mr. Foreman In an address
at the real estate board banquet will
extend as far south as Twelfth street,
as far north as Chicago avenue and as
fur west as Halsted street. The sub
way will accommodate through traffic.
Surface cars will continue to carry lo
cal t raffle.
The tunnel. If the present plans are
carried out. will be divided Into four
compartments. Two of these will be for
railways, the others for such public util
ities as heating and refrigerator plants,
high water pressure pipes and electric
wiring. The present river tunnels will
be utilised In the new 'system. Alder
man Foreman explained that the cars
after leaving the subways will be run
either on elevated structures or through
alleys.
A fund of 12,000,000 Is on hand for
the beginning of the work, Mr. Fore
man stated. This sum Is sufficient to
keep construction work going on for
two years.
JAPANESE SAILORS.
The Kind of Men Who Make Up an
Invincible Navy,
The Japanese have been for centur
ies the sailors of the far east. They
have harried the coasts of China In a
buccaneering spirit, , at odd times,
from days Immemorial, and they are
familar along her coasts. For genera
tions untold they have bred sailors.
They are in the strong salt sea all
their lives, one way or another, and die
within sound of Its restless melody.
They are the sampan men, the fisher
men of the lowlylng coasts. At one
time, not so far back either, the used
to be the free lances of those ecus,
following no law but the will of their
cwn chiefs, recklessly brave, fiercely
combative, careless of death, as paganfl
usually are, masterful, and adventur
rous. And It Is from the descendants
of those old sampan families that the
Japanese have filled their navy, and
made It second to none In the world
In point of excellence.
No boy could get admitted to the
Japanese navy unless he had the tra
ditions of the sea In a long line be
hind him, for the Japanese believe that
It takes live generations to make a
sailor, and the Jap Is not far wrong.
The brine must be In the blood. Kvery
man and lad In tin: Japanese navy was
not only trained to his business, he
was bred to it and born for It. The
Japanese sailors In the navy not only
want to live on their ships, but It Is
every man's earnest hope that, when
his hour l omes, he may die there; not
In his hummock, but in the mud, wild
riot of changing blows, with the smell
of battle smoke mingling with the salt
smell of the sea. A Japanese sailor
will never surrender while there is
life In him, because he has always
been taught to look forward to a
death on his ship, under his own flag,
us the best fate can give him. He
asks for nothing better. London

Fewer Court Martial. 1
Discipline In the army of the United
Statu has not entirely gone to pieces
in spite of the ruthless closing of regi
mental groggeries known as the can
teen system. The annual report of
General George H. Davis, Judge aJvo
cate generul to the secretary of war,
shows the total number of trials by;
general courr-martiul during the year
to have been 4,249, which Is 1,026
fewer than In the preceding year.
'The marked dimlnuatlon in the num
ber of trials by general court-martial
which amounts to nearly 20 percent of
the number of cases tried In the year
ended June 30, 1903," says the Judge
advocate, "It Is very gratifying, Indi
cating that the conditions of the mili
tary service are now such as to re
quire less frequent resort to court
martial procedure ta mantaln disci
pline In the military establishment."
It Is noticeable that only two persons
were tried by military commission
seventy fewer ban In the preceding
year. Ignoring this official report en
tirely, some Imbecile will arise shortly
and observe that the canteen Is an ab
solute necessity, that It must be restor
ed or our army is doomed.
The Better Part.
The late Rev. James rullwttn. D. D.,
was a brother of Georgf M. Pullman.
j the famous sleeping car inventor end
millionaire. When your:? in the min
istry he was beslegt.d by his brother
to forsake It and enter business, anl
become rich in worldly goods. "This
does not appeal to me," was the re
ply of the young preacher, who thus
asserted the supremacy of the spirit
ual over the material.
Years afterward, when the million
aire visited his brother In Lynn, this
early colloquy was recalled. "J.mes,
you were right and I was wrong; you
have chosen the better part," was the
tribute of the magnate to the prophet.
The man who lives for (Jod In the
world, instead of living for the world
Itself, whether he be a minister or a
layman, always chooses the better
part, and proves himself truly a wise
man.
Survives All Treatment. .
r.eligbm survives In spite of a thou
sand crimes committed In her name
each day. This must be accepted as
a proof that It Is deeply grounded In
our belnt. Otherwise, how could
faith bear the shock of the constant be
trayal of her cause by those who pro
fe to b- her cham 'nns? How far,
for example, has the czar of Russia
fallen from his high renown as the
good emperor, the advocate of peace
defender of the cross! He has now
convinced the world that It was he
principally that forced a needless war.
His Incitement of his troops by means
of sacred appeal to their religion Is
violently Incongruous. Indeed the war
proclamations which ring throughout
Russia sound as If they were calling
to a holy crusade, Instead of to wan
ton and needless butchery.
