Angermaier told our readers it would be. The ceremonies were solemn and impressive, and the congregation was one of the largest that has ever worshiped in that historic church. The day is one that will long be cherished in the minds of those composing this mighty parish. Governor Hanly. after he had found that his bullying methods had further widened the breach between himself and a large element in his party, attempted in his speech before the Republican state convention to restore himself to some degree of favor by coarse abuse of Democrats and by vindictive perversions of facts, but he failed to make the impression that he intended. Instead, he lowered himself even further in the estimation of every fair-minded man who heard him. The amount of the right-of-way subsidy to be voted the Fort Wayne & Springfield railway is $5,000 for Washington township and Decatur, and $3,000 for Monroe township and Berne. This is the qxact amount. Do not let any one talk you into thinking it is one cent more or less. The levy to raise this amount will be about onesixth of one per cent and amounts in dollars and cents to about $1.66 on each SI,OOO valuation. Surely there is no one so poor that will fail to vote for this improvement, and thus aid one of the best improvements ever undertaken. While the address of Governor John Johnson at the Minnesota ceremonies on Shiloh battlefield seems clearly to have been designed to serve at least in part some obvious purposes. that fact can in no wise discount the sound, thoughtful doctrines of government that he took occasion to announce. It was a dignified and impressive discussion of certain principles of government that thinking men in every part of the land, in every pursuit and in every political party of sane tents are more and more coming to believe are being widely and dangerously departed from. Governor Johnson’s address will make a very wholesome and. so far as it relates to himself, helpful impression on the country. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. It will be remembered that in March i»v7, the Democ-iats in the senate killed the ship subsidy bill, which had passed the house by Republican votes. Senator Carmack, of Tennessee led in the filibuster which resulted in the defeat of this iniquitous measure. Now the Republican senate has passed a ship subsidy bill and the measure goes to the house. It seems that the Re-

publican party has ample time to pass measures demanded by the financiers, such as the Aldrich bill, and measures demanded by the subsidy grabbers, such as a shipping bill. But when the people demand tariff revision and other important reforms they are expected to be satisfied with the assurance that if they will again trust the Republican party with power they may have such tariff revision as the "friends of the tariff" think the people are entitled to--after the presidential election. —Commoner. CONFISCATED OR DESTROYED Little Is Left of American |r’erests In Venezuela, Secretary Root Says. Secretary Root in his letter, now made public, to the United States minister at Caracas, repeating the demand, always refused by Venezuela, for arbitration of American claims, said: “Notwithstanding the long and unbroken friendship manifested by the United States for Venezuela, notwithstanding the repeated occasions upon which the United States has intervened as a friend in need to relieve Venezuela from disagreeable and dangerous complications with other foreign powers, the government of Venezuela has within the past few years practically confiscated or destroyed all the substantial property Interests of Americans in that country. “This has been done sometimes in accordance with forms of iaw and contrary to the spirit of the law; sometimes without even form of law, by one device or another, with the action of the government apparently always hostile to American interests, until of the many millions of dollars invested by American citizens in that country practically nothing remains.” Referring specifically to the case of the New York and Bermudez (asphalt) company, the secretary declared that—- “ The seizure of the property belonging to the company by unquestioned and subsisting titles is a harsh and unjust deprivation of property, and the continued possession and exploitation of these mines by a sequestrator or by any person other than the lawfully authorized agent of the company is a daily and growing grievance. “As the company has failed to obtain the protection of courts of justice and as the company continues to be deprived of its property, this government feels itself constrained to protest firmly, but courteously, through diplomatic channels against the continuance of a wrong perpetrated by the abuse of judicial process.’’ HAMSTEAD MINE DISASTER. Quick Work to Save Entombed Men by Forcing Supply of Fresh Air Into Coal Workings. Extraordinary means were adopted for the relief of the men emtombed by the explosion at the Hamstead colliery, near Birmingham. This was one of the worst of English mine disasters. The dead recovered numbered about twenty-five. To enable the rescuers to penetrate the mine workings it was necessary to reverse the ventilating system. To do this required a new fan. connected by new ducts with the old shafts. A sixty inch Sirocco turbine fan, delivering 80,000 cubic feet of air a minute, was hastily requisitioned from a neighboring colliery. A hundred men then went to work with feverish haste to install the fan, which was six times more powerful than the fan previouslv in use. Laboring night and day, the men laid 10,000 bricks in less than twenty-four hours. This provided the fan foundation and part of the ducts, a special culvert., and an additional duct connecting with the old downcast shaft of the mine had to be constructed and steam mains laid to connect the fan engine with the colliery boiler house. L ntil this was done the rescuers made little progress in their work, because the upcast shaft of the mine was Incumbered and damaged by fire. Even before the Sirocco fan could be put in place rescue parties had attempted to explore the ill fated ml no but the workings were in such a dangerous coudiUuu that little could be accomplished. One of the rescuers lost his life in attempting to reach the imprisoned men below. o . Mrs. C. E. Meyer left today for her home at Angola after a pleasant visit with Mr. R. D. Patterson and Mrs. Fred Bell. Frank P. Seiler returned to his home at Auburn this afternoon. While here he transacted business with the Decatur Furnace company.
