June l.-The tiremen at the plant of the Terre Haute Electric Company, which operates the streetrailway and lighting plant in this city; the interurban line to Brazil, Ind., and the street-railway and lighting plant in that city struck to-day, in sympathy with the Brazil firemen, who had been asking for the advance in wages which, they say, had been promised. This afternoon the motormen and conductors notified Manager Clark that they would strike with the close of working hours to-night, unless an adjustment was made by which union firemen would be employed. The company had taken four men from other employment and put them at work in the lireroom, when the men struck. Manager Clafk says he will not yield. i The strike will mean the tying-up of street-railways in this city and Brazil, the sixteen miles in the interurban line between, and the railway and lighting systems in Brazil. Manager Clark was sent here recently by the Stone & Webster syndicate, of Boston, which owns all the properties, and the employes have taken a violent dislike to him. having pointed out in tho newspapers, daily, for some days, what they assert are misrepresentations he has made to the public. The men say he has said he was sent here to break up the labor organizations, and the precipitated strike is as much due to the feeling against him as on account of the wages of three firemen at Brazil. LIGHTING OFFER HE Ff SED. Fairmonnt Will Not Accept a. Tender of Forty Free Arc Lights. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FAIRMOUNT, Ind., June l.-Rather than be compelled to move his electric light plant ft oni its present location, Gilbert Larnt, last night offered to furnish the town with fcrty arc lights for the streets free for a period of ten years. He offered to furnish the carbon and have his men trim the lamp and keep them in repair. The only consideration he asked was that the town operate the machinery, furnish the fuel and oil. The town board refused to accept the proposition. Two years ago Larue sold the plant to the town board for J1S.00O in payments of $150 per month. One year later there was a change in the town board and they refused to abide by the contract, and failed to meet the monthly payments, making Larue a written tender of the plant, which he refused to accept and six months later catered suit to collect the money due him. Judge Paulus not only refused to give Judgment, but knocked out the deal completely on the 2 per cent, constitutional limit of indebtedness. Since that time many efforts have been made by Larue to effect a compromise and this ha been done. Larue

gets $1,400. one-third the amount due him. takes back the machinery and moves the plant off the town's ground within ninety days. Last Club Member Married. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

All the members of the party are interested in electric lines in the northwestern part of the State, and their visit here was to get an idea of the public sentiment as to propositions for the future exploitation of this vicinity. Efforts are under way here, in connection with similar efforts in Henry county, to secure the construction of an electric line connecting the two localities. RICHMOND.

THE EARTH A DYNAMO. Elmer Gates Promulgate a New Meteorological Theory. Everybody's Magazine. Elmer Gates, the Washington scientist, has recently finished a series of experiments which prove that electricity is primarily the cause of all meteorological phenomena, from the calm of a summer's day to the tempestuous storms of the equinox, are nothing more or less than manifestations of electricity. Our world, in common with the sun and the other planets, is not only a vast generator of electricity, but is also kept in motion and controlled by electrical forces. "I proved by experiment," saj-s Gates, "that when an insulated body is revolved before a magnet it produces electricity upon itself. Now, the earthjs an insulated body and revolves in an intense magnetic field produced by the sun. the great central magnet of our solar system. The earth is insulated because the air that envelops it is a nonconductor, and for that reason the electricity generated by the revolution of th earth is not thrown off. but is retained and manifests itself in what we call the weather." "And you say that the rotation of ths earth on its axis is an electrical phenomenon also?" "Yes; such a conclusion is rendered probable by my experiments. Not only the rotation on its axis, but Its revolution, loo. about the sun Is the result of electricity or electro-magnetic action. We know that the sun rotates on Its axis. Now, I find by txperiment that when a. magnet rotates it causes magnetic bodies within its influence tc revolve about it. The nearer they aro to the maget the faster they revolve, and this is precisely what we observe in the case of the planets. And I have also discovered that a rphere revolving about a ii-agnet turns on its axis. This is due to thn fact that the side nearest the magnet is slightly retarded by the effect of the attraction, and this causes the globe to rotate while moving In its orbit around the magnet. So we see that the sun by hi own motion causes the earth to revolve about it. and that this in turn produces the rotation of the earth on Its axis, which tlvta u& our atmospheric electricity."

GUESTS OF THE KING

NEW YORK 3IILLI ON AIRES ENTERTAINCD AT "WINDSOR CASTLE. Edward Delighted to 3Ieet n Representative Body of American Business 31en and Capitalists. CARNEGIE NOT PRESENT J. riEIU'OXT MORGAN ATTRACTED THE MOST ATTENTION. Each of the Twenty-Two Visitors Presented to the King and Queen and Given n. Handshake. WINDSOR, England, June 1. Twentytwo .American gentlemen dressed In the deep black of British court mourning, representing many millions of money and vast commercial interests, were the guests of King Edward to-day at Windsor. They were the delegates of the New York Chamber of Commerce. The visit was arranged by the London Chamber of Commerce, the president of which, Lord Brassey, accompanied the American party. The visitors were greatly impressed and pleased by their audience of the King, who, the Associated Press learns, was just as Interested at meeting them as they were at meeting him. The King had expressed considerable curiosity to see what manner of men these multimillionaires might be, especially Messrs. Morgan and Carnegie. As regards the latter the King was disappointed, for Mr. Carnegie was unable to be present. From the King down all the officials concentrated their attention on Mr. Morgan. Their curiosity was not unmixed with awe. One of the high officers of the household humorously confessed that an inspection of the list of visitors made them tremble lest Mr. Morgan or one of the other millionaires should take a fancy to Windsor and buy it. Apart from this personal point of view the Associated Press was officially informed by Lord Pelham-Clinton, the master of the household, that the King regarded the presence in England of such a representative body of American business men as highly significant of the close and friendly relations existing between the two countries, and in furtherance of that feeling lie was delighted to welcome them to his castle and make their acquaintance. After an inspection of the grounds, the delegates were taken to the cast terrace, where they were received by the King. They were surprised to find the Queen was also present, for her appearance was quite unexpected. With the King and Queen were the Princess Victoria and the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. Each delegate was formally presented to both tho King and Queen, shaking their hands. The ceremony over, the King asked the American visitors to replace their hats on their heads, and both he and the Queen then commenced to chat in a friendly way with the little group. The King remembered meeting previously William Butler Duncan and James W. Pinchot, much to their astonishment. This little reminiscence over the royal party indulged in small talk regarding the weather, the King pointing out tho beauties of Windsor s cnestnut trees and referring to the need the country had for rain and so forth. His Majesty regretted the state apartments were so upset as to be invisible. He apparently avoided business and politics; beyond reiterating how glad he was to meet so many well known from America.,, When audience was over the delegates partook of a small feast and repassed the King and Queen, who were having tea in the garden. . The King stood up, took off his hat and bowed his farewell. The delepates then returned to London. President Mortis K. Jessup said: "We were most warmly welcomed, and spent a most pleasant afternoon. One of the most pleasant features was the unexpected presence of the Queen. Both she and the King were extremely affable. I think the occasion will greatly strengthen the relations between the two countries." All the delegates said practically the same thing. George G. Ward said: "When we saw the Queen we could scarcely believe she was the Queen. She looked so young and charming. Both the King and the Queen appeared to be in splendid health, and they certainly were in the best of spirits." Following Is a complete list of those present: Morris K. Jessup, Levi P.

It Is Informnl mid Uns n Smnll Membership. The Independent. The club of a dozen members or less is the most enjoyable one. Ad that is necessary to do is to call three or lour friends together. Choose a topic to discuss, and then meet at one of your friends' rooms and talk it over for an evening. There should be no officers, no constitution, no fixed rules and no refreshments. In order that every member shall take part it is wise to have each one speak In turn without interruption till every one has had his say (as long or short as he wills), then throw the meeting open. This method of procedure insures that every eme shall take his part in the discussion. It is vitally important that only congenial spirits should belong to such a club. One bore or one member who loses his temper when a new idea is advanced will aonipletely ruin such a gathering. Be democratic to a fault within the club, but be very exclusive in selecting new members. The meetings should . not be held oftener than once in two weeks, nor less than once in three weeks, lhe topic, for discussion should be given out at the previous meeting, but no one should go to any laborious research in looking up the subjects; otherwise the discussions will be stilted. Avoid also choosing subjects on which the members hold no definite opinions, and which do not, therefore, vitally interest them. In other words, make the club simply a gathering where every llttlfc while you and your best friends can talk seriously about those things thr.t most interest you. It might be a good plan to refresh your memory as to Benjamin Franklin's famous "Junto,'" "The Literary Club" of Dr. Johnson, and the Metaphysical Club, of which Tennyson and Huxley were members. These were conducted somewhat n the above principles, and were among the most successful small clubs ever known. It should be added that the sexes ought not to be mixed In such a club as this, nor should the members be of widely different ages. Anything that constrains the freest intercourse should be rigidly excluded. Winter Vegetables. Philadelphia Telegraph. Successful experiments have been made recently in the forcing of the growth of usparagus in the fieid in winter by the help of steam. Narrow trenches about four inches deep are elug between the rows and covered with boards, so as to form llltl-? tunnels. Steam f rom boilr is forced into the tunnels through a hose, penetrating the soil and Keeping the latter moist and warm. The process has to be performed only onca a day, for five minutes at a time, and the results obtained have been quit remarkable Within recent years salad plants, tomatoes, muskmelons. green corn, beans and other garden products have been added one after another, to the list of greenhouse crops, rendering these delicacies available for winter use and giving delight to epicures, while putting much money into the pockets of the producers. Necessarily such products are expensive, and no little Interest attaches therefore to efforts which the Department of Agriculture Is making to find means whereby persons in modest circumstances may force some kinds of garden truck for their own use during the cold ?eaon. .

Called to 11 1 1 lu Where lie May He Offered the Fourth Vice Presidency, Vacated by Lorce. Correspondence which has passed recently between V. T. Malott, receiver of the Vandalia, and the Pennsylvania people make it quite probable that James Jewett Turner, general manager of the Vandalia, is to be the new fourth vice president of the Pennsylvania lines west. Mr. Turner entered the railroad service in 1S70 as a ticket sorter in the Steubenville office of what is now the Panhandle. After that he was, in succession, operator, train dispatcher and chief clerk, most of the time in the Pennsylvania line's employ. On leaving John F. Miller as his chief clerk he became superintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes road. From that position he was promoted to superintendent of the Pittsburg division of the Panhandle, holding that place from 18W to 189Ö, when he was elected vice president and general manager of the Vandalia line. His headquarters have been at St. Louis. Mr Turner 13 a strict disciplinarian and is said to stand well with the chief officials of the Pennsylvania line. Should he be selected as fourth vice president of the Pennsylvania line, Harry Miller, now superintendent of the Vandalia main line, will be appointed general manager of the Vandalia. He Is esteemed not only by the Pennsylvania people, but by Receiver Malott. Mr. Turner passed through the city Saturday morning, en route to Pittsburg. Hallway Notes. J. N.

Mr. llammill will go to Oklahoma, where he will enter the mercantile business. There is keen speculation as to the Identity of the new men who will enter the Northern Pacific directorate under the treaty of peace subscribed to by the rival interests in the property. Many names have been called up in Wall street but, according to a member of the Harriman syndicate, there has teen no decision yet as to any cf them. The San Francisco Call says: "J. C. Stubbs, traffic manager of the Southern Pacific, who is now in New York, has been offered the position of commissioner of the transcontinental roads by Eastern railway magnates. The commissioner will represent the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific. The salary will be $50,000 a year." Asked nt Chicago yesterday concerning the report that the Illinois Central would take control of the M.. K. & T. rod. Vice president and General Manager Harahan said: "I returned only last night from New York, but I have heard nothing of this supposed move on the part of the Illinois Central. If it were true I think I would be Iikelv to know it. It is safe to say there is nothing in the story." The Cleveland Leader says: "A rumor is current in connection with the present conditions on the Lake Shore and Baltimore & Ohio railroads. Affairs on the Baltimore & Ohio are said to be uncongenial to Oscar G. Murray, first vice president in charge of traffic of that road. The Lake Shore presidency demands at this time a traffic manager, and rumor says that Mr. Murray may become Mr. Newman's successor." The Central Railroad of Georgia yesterday pssumed the control and management of th? Chattanooga, Rome &' Southern and the Chattanooga & Durham Railroads. Control was also assumed of the Savannah, Griffin & North Alabama Railroad from Carrolton to Or'.fUn. Ga. The three newly acquiied roads will be constituted and operated as the Chattanooga division of the Central of Georgia system. C. B. Wilburn. former president of the Chattanooga, Rome & Southern, has been made superintendent of ttis new division with heauquarters at Rome, Ga. BRYAN REBELS. (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.) United States will not hold the eame position regarding the Philippine because of any imaginary- difference of status growing out of the Filipino war. This would be a stultification. In my judgment, tvhlch I am not prepared to see any five judges of the court commit. 'The truth Is that their decision in the Porto Rlcan case is. nigh Intolerable. A reargument should be applied for by the attorney general. The whole argument of Mr. Justice Brown was based upen the words in the DIngley tariff law 'from foreign countries but those words were not the vital part of the clause of the act considered. The vital part was the provision that merchandise imported into the Unitel States should pay duties. That provision r.xeant that duties should be paid on merchandise coming into the United St-tes a the Nation was then constituted or as the

States should be constituted if enlarged by additions of territory made part of the country by action of Congress. Conquering territory, purchasing territory or receivlm.' a donation of territory does not bring such territory within the United States within the meaning of the tariff law. If the words 'Horn foreign countries' had not been contained in the law it is doubtful whether Mr. Justice Brown and his four associates v. ould ever have ventured to declare that the Dingley tariff law as applied to Porto Rico went to destruction as soon as we received from Spain the cession of the territory of which we had previously taken l-cssession. Of course, Porto Rico was then no longer a toreign country in many senses, bui It continued to be a foreign country within the meaning of the tank' law, and the United States, within the meaning of ti:a.t law. continued to be the old Unite I States, the new United States being its former limits plus Porto Rico and tho Philippines. The complete incorporation of the Philippines and West Indies, which would anninuate the tanft on merchandise coming into the United States from those islands, could not take place until Congress sc declared. "The effect of the decision In the De Lima or first case should be resisted by a request for a reargument. As for the Philippines, it wili oe dangerous for the secretary of the treasury to rely upon obtaining a decision from the court that a distinction exists between the status of Porto Rico and the Philippines. Such a distinction would be, in my opinion, merely fanciful, and I believe the more tue live judges think over the matter the less likely they are to promulgate a decision .based upon such a distinction. The military rower in the Philippines should be invoked for the Imposition of a duty equal to the home duty upon merchandise from those islands brought into the United States. It would not'bv an export duty, tor the court would hardly hold that the cuty on merchandise coming from one part of the United States to another would be an export duty. "The Spooner act, standing alone, is not like the Foraker act. The latter specifically imposes duties of 15 per cent, of the rate scheduled in the Dingley bill. The Spooner act merely authorizes the President to govern the Philippines according to his judgment, but gives him no power in United States ports. If the Spooner act had provided that until further legislation by Congress tho duties of the Dingley Mil should apply to Importations Into the United States from the archipelago, then that act would have the same effect, In the opinion of the second set of five judges of the court in Its decision on Monday, that the Foraker act had tnat is, that it would be constitutional." WIIATS IX A NAME. Discovery Made by a Man In Search of an Ancestor. New Y'ork Evening Sun. "Father." said Gertie, mournfully, "we never can climb into society just as plai'i b'miths. though we may date back to the oays of Peter Stuyvesant. Can't you think of some oiher old family name which wo may tack on to Smith with a hyphen?" The head of the family smoked In t respectively for a few minutes, then replied: T have a vague idea, Gertie, that my greatgrandfather was a Brands. Now, that isn't such bad name, and if I don't mistake it cuts some figure in the Knickerbocker set. ' "Jolly, father." exclaimed Gertie enthusiastically. "Smith-Brander or BranderSmith would look too lovely for anvthing or. a visiting card. Now. lather, I want you to go right to work and find out just whj great-grandfather Brander was." The head cf the family worked diligently, though vainly, for several days on odd volumes of genealogical history, an-j w;-rr abvut to give up in despajr when a happv :dea occurred to him. "I'll try the Historical Society," and suiting tht action to th. Inspiration he pent the entire dny ov-.-r musty old tomes and ancient records in ihr cheerless rooms of the society. That evening, as he was smoking with a far-away look in his eyes, his daughter wooped down on him and exclaimed in oie breath. "Oh. father, have you found cut who great-grandfather was?" "Yes, I have learned the complete history of my ancestor," replied pater familla-, wearily. "However, he was not a Blander. Lut a brander. I mean by that he was a brander with a little 'b.' in the employ of the Cotirt of General Quarter Sessions, atii his solo occupation was branding criminals. My great-grandfather's name was Mul!can. .

Their curiosity concerning me is perhaps about as lively as mine was touching the supposed liverworts. Like me, they ttatid and consider, but betray no unmannerly eagerness. "Who is he.

A cud mut be a great alleviation to the temper. With such a perennial sedative, how could any one ever be fretted Into nervous prostration? As a matter of fact. I believe that cows never suffer from that most distressing malady. The teeret of health and happiness Is to be always employed, but never hurried. I have seen rhewers of gum who stemed to have learned the cows' lesson. While the heifers are still making up their minds about it.
