ARBITRATION POSSIBLE SABlSUtltV MAY YIELD A FOIST IX THE VESEZtELAX DISPITE. Olney'a Effort to Have the "Settled Districts Included In an Agreement Likely to Succeed. WASHINGTON. Aug. IS. The cable report from Bondon that Bord Salisbury has yielded to Secretary Olney on the crucial point of the Venezuela negotiations that of including the settled portions of the disputed tract in the proposed arbitration Is regarded as an Important development by those interested in the subject. This inclusion of the "settled districts" has been the chief obstacle in the way of arbitration, so that," the report of its removal Is confirmed the two governments appear to be nearer to an amicable agreement than at any time since the trouble began. Iord Salisbury, from the first, has Insisted that this settled district was sovereign British soil which could not be subjugated to the judgment of arbitrators. Secretary Olney has urged that the omission of this settled portion from arbitration would defeat the whole scope of the arbitration, as the unsettled, or worthless, sections were not what Venezuela contended for. The latest view of this phase was presented in a brief by Mr. Storrow, a lawyer of Boston, of whose ability Mr. Olney has a high opinion. The Storrow brief was laid before the Venezuela commi?sIon as a part of the Venezuela case, but. aside from this. It Is known that its line of argument was similar to that taken by the Secretary of State. Mr. Storrow pointed out that the "settled district" was in fact but little settled: that the numlier of British colonists there was comparatively insignificant: that "their Improvements." on which Lord Salisbury had laid much stress, were of the most meager and primitive kind, and that the whole money value of existing British settlements, houses, improvements, etc.. would be a comparatively small sum. From thb the conclusion was drawn that these socal'ed districts should not stitnd in the way of the adjustment .of so large a question. There has been no Intimation that this view was shared by the British authorities until the cable dispatch stating that, on what is believed to be the inspired authority, of tht Bradford Observer, that the point Was conceded by Bord Salisbury. The further suggestion is made that casn payment will be made for the improvements of the British settlers. In case Venezuela Is awarded the territory, but no reference is made as to who will pay the Indemnity, although it Is construcu here to mean that Great Britain will mollify those of her subjects who are dispossessed. anaaMaaaaiaHBwsaHai VACATIONS FOR CIULDKEX. Swiss Finn That Han Been Followed l;y Other Countries. WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. It is twenty years since the vacation colony movement for children was inaugurated in Zurich. Switzerland, and Consul Eugene Germain, In a report to the State Department, gives some facts and figures in regard to the plan during that time. It . was evolved by Rev. W. Bion. a clergyman of Zurich, who, ill 1STG, succeeded in obtaining subscriptions which enabled him to send a number of children, divided into three colonies, to the mountain canton of Appenzell for a period of two weeks. Sixty-tight boys and girls enjoyed thi.s vacation the first year, and since that time the number benefited has steadily increased, last year 2.VM having been sent to the colonies. The total number during the twenty years was 21.7LM.. Beginning in ISM. children who could not leave the towns, to the number of 3.:'4!. were supplied with fresh bread and milk twice a day. in order to compensate them in a measure for the loss of the vacation trip. The example of Switzerland, says Consul Germain, was soon followed by other countries, especially (Jermany,, where J2" cities have ador-ted the plan and established colonies. Since 1S-S." children to the number of 231.C11 have been cared for by them. The means of support for these colonies are furnished principally by voluntary contributions and also by contributors from the state and municipal governments. In Switzerland a part of the profits of the federal alcohol monoooly is set aside for this purpose, and in Zurich concerts, fairs, etc.. are held in the winter and the proceeds given to the colonies. California Frnlt Sold for French. WASHINGTON. Aug. IS. - The French people, who have for so long imposed upon a credulous American public by shipping back to them. as the finest of French products Maine herring and southern cottonseed oil In the shape of sardines and olive oil. are now suffering from a counter imposition, which is brought to light by Inited States Consul Germain at Zuricn. In the course of a report to the State Department on the subject of American dried fruits in Switzerland, he speaks Of the success that has attended the introduction In France last season of California prunes, and then following out the prospect thus opened up. he says that the French receivers are arranging to have all such fruit packed in cases similar to those used in France and bearing French marks, so that the goods may be sold to the retailer as French fruit.

FIGHT FOR UNIONISM

i:LVOOD TIX.PI.ATK STRIKERS HOLD A BIB JIEETIM. TO-MB I1T. SerlonM Trouble Fen red "When the Company Attempt to Start Next . AVcek Winona Assembly citb Special to the In Ilarapolls Journal. EBWOOD. Ind.. Aug. IS. The tin-plate strike situation is rapidly approaching a grave crisis and serious trouble is feared by many. The company, as has heretofore been stated, refused to sign the Amalgamated scale and presented the hot-mill employes, who alone are under the scale and unionized, a scale of their own, asking a reduction on heaters, rollers and doub'ers of,l" per cent. Directly and Indirectly this affects all the hot-mill employes, and they refused to accept It. President M. M. Garland, of the Amalgamated Association. as here Ausr. 7 and tried to effect a settlement, but the company insisted that the plant could not operate unless a reduction was accepted and declared Its intention of operating nonunion if the men did not accept the cut. The Amalgamated Association then ordered a strike, which began Aug. 8, since which time the strikers have organized and are guarding all the roads leading into the city to prevent men from coming or being brought here to take their places. A few days ago the company notified the men that they would be given until Aug. 19 to accept the cut, and if not done by that time the mill would start with new men on Aug. 24 at a reduction. The men will not accept and are arrangingfor a monster demonstration of union labor to-morrow nlghv in answer to the company's request that they return to ork. President Garland, of the Amalgamated Association, and President Samuel Lompers. of the Federation of Iibor, will Ih present and address the meeting, which will be he!d in the public square to accommodate the crowd. Vice President Samuel Cashrr.ore, of Muncie, is here counseling the men to commit no act of violence, and his counsel is having good effect on the men. The union laborers of the other Industries of the county are In sympathy with the men. and should there be an outbreak they would come to their aid. The leaders are counseling the men to be firm, yet law-abiding, and retain the svmpath of the public. They think that the company can be more readily brought to terms by boycotting their output anil the firms that use it. Should the clash come, it may be necessary to call tho militia to Quell the disturbance. Everything Is quiet now and no trouble is feared until the mil!s start Aug. 21 or when the men tome to tak the strikers' places. It is feared nothing that the leaders can do will prevent the anticipated outbreak of some of the. men. The company declares its inability to operate unless a reduction is granted, and will, of course, ask for the protection of its property. In the meantime the men are on guard, making all "hobos" and tramp workmen leave the city In order to prevent ;them doing some act of violence which would be laid to the strikers. They are keeping a c!ose watch on every stranger. In order to prevent anyone not connected with the company gaining access to the p'ant. The situation is growing more alarming each day. and there appears no probable settlement of the difficulty. Adjutant-general Bobbins has denied th? report that the Anderson militia company has been ordered to hold ltr-elf in readiness to go to Elwood to-day if there should b any appearance of trouble. This report gained currency several days ago. although It wh.i not until yesterday that any par'icu'ar ml'WIn cominv was named in connection with the report. IMJI.WA OniTLAIlV. Capt.

SCIENCE AND SUICIDE

SIRPRISIG HESILTS FOLLOW 1QtlRIES INTO THE SUBJECT. Nnnibcr of Catir I,p Durinir llio Winter Mouths than In the Summer June Loads the I,tt. New York Kveninr: Sun. The subject of K-ulcIde. whether considered from the medical or scientific standpoint, i:? a most interesting one; and not only is the subject Interesting, but it is also surprising. The deeper one goes into the subject the more complex it becomes, and men who have made it a life study have finally acknowledged that their most complete deductions still left much in doubt. The first studies of the subject, taking It as a social science, were made not more than forty years ago. and the workers In the field have always been few, but the results already accomplished are almost marvelous.' To most persons the r.umber of suicides in a year seems to be about evenly distributed throughout the twelve months, but one of the first results of the study of the subject is to show that year after year certain months show an excess of cases over certain other months. At present advanced students in the subject are able to predict with remarkable accuracy the probable number of suicides for any future month tin a country whose statistics they have studied; and not only this, for they have so far reduced the scl?nce that they can foretell almost the day and hour when the greatest number of persons will destroy themselves. Books on suicide are by no means few, and many are both instructive and reliable, but because of its completeness the one written by Dr. Enrico Morselli is most often selected as the standard authority. Dr. Morselli was a professor in the'Universlty at Turin, and in preparing his book he investigated the statistics of all countries where complete records of the suicideswere kept. Unfortunately the figures available in the United States have been incomplete and far from reliable always, so they were not embraced in the book. -In England, and especially on the continent, tile government are careful to obtain full information of all cases of suicide, and. using figures obtained there, conclusive and true results are reached. In the main the statistics given here are taken from Dr. Morselli's book, but where later records were obtainable a German government publication was used. One would naturally suppose that the number of suicides would be greatest during the cold and dreary winter months, but in fact the direct opposite is true. In spite of the suffering that is entailed by the December and January cold, these two months furnish comparatively few cases of suicide, and many times they show a smaller number than any other months. Strange as it may seem. June, the brightest of all months, is the one that usually leads. The warmer the weather In June the more true will this be found, and where June has as many hot days as had the June of this year, it may be expeoted to furnish almost as many cases as any other two months combined. Owing to inaccuracies In his figures one early htudent on the subject of suicide made claim that November furnished the greatest number, and for years his claim was accepted as true: but Morselli showed that far from furnishing the greatest number, November often furnished the fewest. MORSELLI'S THEORIES. Morselli divided the year into the four seasons as follows in deducing his primary distribution: Spring, composed of March, April and May; summer, of June July and August: fall, of September, October and November: winter, of December, January and February. All his own calculations, as well as those of almost all other students on the subject, are fixed on this basis. Taking eighteen European States, and dividing the time over which the statistics extended into thirty-four periods, it was found that the greatest number of cases occurred thirty times In summer, three times in spring, and one time in fall, while In rot a single instance did winter lead. This conclusively proved that the general law held true, but it was proved more, strongly when another period was divided as beore and the Investigation reversed. Winter then furnished the least number of cases thirty times: fall four time and spring and summer not once. Thus taking into consideration the four seasons in the order they affect suicide, it is found that the summer comes first, with the spring, autumn, and winter following in order. In not a single Instance did the six cold months furnish as many cases as the six Qt hers. Again, another proof of the regularity of the distribution . of the four seasons was found when the same eighteen States were Liken for another term of years divided into thirty-one periods. This time the greatest number of suicides occurred twenty-eight times in the summer and the remaining three times in the spring. This regularity, as is plainly seen, is far too great to be attributed to mere chance. In fact, as the results extending over many years show but a minute deviation from these averages," it Is possible to tell with remarkable accuracy how many suicides will occur in any one of these eighteen States during a certain period. On more than one occasion the actual number for a season has differed but one or two cases from what the averages foretold. A reference to the following table will give a better Idea of the distributions. In it great nations have been considered Instead of the small state divisions, but the results arc relatively alike.

Having thus shown the number of suicides in relation to the seasons, the separate months were investigated in much the same manner. It was found that the minimum occurred in December. ai:d that from that time the number regularly Increased until June, when the maximum was reached. Once past this .point the number falls, with little lc-s regularity, until the end of the twelfth month is again reached. This result is shown in the statistics of all the countries investigated. Guorry, who made most extensive studies in France, examined the records of tho large aggregate of S5.3:!4 suicides which occurred in that country during the years 1833 to and nnounced that the maximum always fell undt r the summer solstice, while the minimum came under the winter solstice. It might be expected tiat people livirg in the larger cities would te so afTected or influenced as to multiply the exceptions in the laws of distribution, but in eleven different periods, embracing nine great cities, the maximum fell nine times in the u.'-ual months of May, June and Julv. once In early spring and once in the middle of summer. A reference to the following table will show the monthly Increase and decrease very plainly, Italy, France and Belgium being considered: Actual Numbers. ,r , Italy. France. B'lgl'm.

(ZO 1.S.VJ 12 November M2 l.C-M loo December j 1..4S i:,S Concerning the distribution as regards weeks, days :ir.d hours statistics are generally silent, but Guorry and De Boismont have both made pitient investigation on a oasis of these small divisions. Acccording to De Boismont suicides are committed much more frequently during the first ten days of th month than during the last twenty, .and almo.nt always the largest numler occurs on the first two days. Of 4.r5 suicides in Paris during the years 1S311S13 the distribution was as follows: Actual Number of Cases Suicide First ttn days of the month 1,727 Second ten days of the month l.isS Third ten days of the month.... 1.3SS Tho proportion for the last ten, jt must

be remembered, includes the Slfit day, which is lu seven of the months. This distribution, however, is not hard to explain, as it Is a well-known fact that during the first ten days of th month the money earned during the month jut passed is often swnt i:i debauchery and dij!p.itlon. In lrge cities this is especially true. Th view is well supported by the investigation made by Cluerry of the distribution over the days of the week. A total of C.W cases was observed. The results were a3 follows: Proportion per lf9 SuicidesMonday............ 1M Friday 1171 Tuesday 13.71 Saturday ll.lfk Wednesday 14.W Sunday Thursday 1".CS Thus we see the early days of the week furnish more cases than the ones toward

the end: Tuesday. Thursday and Monday furnishing the most In the order named, while there is a noticeable falling off or. Saturday. Sunday and Friday, especially on Saturday. These statistics, though, are by no means hard to understand. Saturday is the day on which by far the greater number of persons perform'ng manual labor receive their wages. The by no means unusual result is that Saturday night and Sunday are spent In llrslpatlon. during which the wages are wasted. But with Monday comes the a'vakening and remorse. It is noticeable, however, that Sunday is the day on which most women end their lives. This is explainable when it Is remembered that the men remain at home during Sunday, and not infrequently nbus? th women fcr real or imaginary transgressions. Frequently night furnishes the greatest number of cses. but as a rule the day has more than either the evening or the night. Out of a total number of 4.3T5 cases occurring In Paris 2.(fc4 happened during the day. 7r. in the evening and 63S at night. The time for 1.0. , was not ascertainable. Even reckoning the evening nnd night together, the day here has the preponderance. On examining the hours separately this Is more clearly seen. Of an actual total of 1.9t3 suicides in Paris the division was as follows: Paris. 1S34-1S43. Hour of 1.003 Suicides. A. M p. M. Midnight , 63 Noon 123 1 o'clock M i o'clock 7I 40 2 11? 3 43 3 144 4 ...... ..... ;0 4 ...... W 3 ' -,i f , . ' tt ....... l ..........

EXTREMES OF TEMPERATURE. Thermometer at lOU In Tean, and Snow In the Northeast. DALBAS, Tex., Aug. 1?. The thermometer made Its regular score of 100 degrees today. The red-hot air does not perceptibly cool off until long after midnight. Wagon loads of negroes continue to leave town to pick cotton. This movement Is exactly cne month earlier than usual. This means that cotton has prematurely opened and will all be picked by the 15th of September. It generally takes to the 1st of February to gather all the crop, but this year it will bo all at the glnhouses by the 1st of October. Many buyers who have ready money are collecting at the country towns and are snapping up every bale offered at present prices. They say they intend holding until spring, believing It will then be worth more money. CONCORD. N. H Aug. 1S.-A Fpeclal from Mount Washington says: Two inches of snow fell on the summit to-day. ORIGIN OF IIOEUS. They Left Franee In 1CSS nnd Settled in Cape Colony. London Sketch. It Is extremely Interesting at the present moment to Inquire as to who and what the Boers really are and whence comes this heroic and stubborn defense of their rights which has exalted these South African agriculturists In the eyes of the world. After the revocation of the edict of Nantes by Bouis XIV numbers of Huguenots In 16SS left France and settled in Cape Colony under the Dutch, who then had possession of It, which government at that time denied the very privileges to the Huguenots thit their descendants and those of the Dutch have until recently denied the Johannesburgers, which has led to this unfortunate revolt against the government of the Trans vaal. as in the eighteenth century it led to the French exodus from Cape Colony. Two centuries ago when the Huguenots In Cap Colony presented a petition to the governor for electoral rights Van Der Stell was enraged and dismissed them with a severe reprimand "to restrain their French Impertinences," which had a parallel In Pretoria lately .when Bom reasonable appeal for representation by the Ultlanders was "received with Jeers" by the members of the Bnadzaal. In 1709 the use of French in addressing the government on official matters was publicly forbidden. In 1724 the Church service m French was permitted for the last time and some seventy years after the arrival of the Huguenots in South Africa their children ceased to speak French entirely. When the settlers could no longer endure the tyranny of the Dutch they "trekked." or tracked, into the Interior, and it is, therefore, quite as likely that the Dutch-speaking Frenchmen are more entitled to be called the owners of the Transvaal than the Dutch themselves that Is, we consider, as civilized natlong do. that the original native has no territorial rights whatsoever. If the' original Huguenots have been (deprived of their language, they have not been deprived of their names, and those we find all through, South Africa Du Plessls, Malherbe. Bosseau. Fouche. De Villers. Du Tolt. Malan, Marais, Jourdan. Mesnard. Du Pre. Notier, Ie Febre, Cordler, Betlef. Be Boux, Theson, Hugo, Le Grange, and dozens of others. What are the names they gave to the homes they established if not in French? Normandy, Be Parals. Lamotte. Jcubert. Bhone, Champagne. Banguedoc. etc. The name of the commandant general, Joubert. Is French, and he is probably also a descendant of one of those who. In 1GKS, exiled themselves from France for the sake of their religious liberty. The names of the Boers, De Beer tnot Van Beer). Du Toispan, whose farms were despoiled when diamonds were found in Kimberley, are obMously of French origin, so that it would appear that the President of the French republic has rruorc reasons for offering sympathy than the German Emperor. Two Oppoklnff ItnleB. Philadelphia Becord. In his Madison-square Garden speech Mr. Bryan unctuously quoted the commandment "Thou shalt not Heal" as applicable " tc the great as well us the small, to the Ftrong as well as the weak, to the corporate person created by law as well as to the person of flesh and blood created by the Almighty." As illustrative of his own view of this commandment he said In his speech at Pittsburg: "Sixteen to one means this, that If you owe a dht you can go into the markt-t and buy sliver and have it coined and use that silver to pay your debts." The two speeches taken together need no comment. They show that Mr. Bryan has two different rules for Interpreting the Injunction delivered from Mount Sinai. With his .'Went dollar he piously proposes to despoil the Philistines. Home Fnlled to Do Ills Duty.
