THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1002,

I as deeply Imr-rfssed with the tremendous fnrry of the Americans and their wonderful commercial development, I fear that the too rapi'1 progress of the United States is likely to cxrurienr a serious ?ptUick in the near future. The commercial rtit'ivy of the Am rieans." he continued. "Incomr-irably surpass' anything in Kump. This is undoubtedly one of the principal cat f "5 of th-. fconomic progress of the United States. 1 perceive in many directions whTc i'uropean countries are already affected bv American expansion, and I think it lik'Iy that they will b still more affected in the future, hut American progress Las b-en so exceedingly rapid that I fear some sudden disaster. In my opinion, too much business is done on borrowed capital. ThH. coupled with the magnitude of the commercial operations common in tbe Unittd States, probably will lead to a panic at the first untoward circumstance, such as a bad harvest or similar misfortune. While there arc many tiong banks in the United States, there are also many weak ones, whose failure will render a crash inevitable. I fear that tome of these banks are lending too much money to aid business enterprises. "AnothT danger lie s in the banks' rote Issues. While this is perfectly safe in theorv. because they are protected by a deposit of government bond?, yet in time of panic there js considerable differ nee between negotiable paper and cash. Some of the most prominent financiers in America share these apprehensions, which leads me to hope they, foreseeing the langer, will find means of averting It. If so, America's commercial progress will be even more remarkable than at present." Count Matsukata has already visited London. Brüssel?, Paris. Berlin and Rome and 13 now studying the financial and economic conditions of Austria-Hungary. He goes to St. Petersburg July ?2 and expects to return to Japan via the Siberian Ballroad. TIIADH IN SOLTII AFRICA.

Great Opportunity for American If They FurnUb Rest Good. WASHINGTON, July IS. A report treating in an interesting way the commercial situation in South Africa was made public at the State Department to-day. It is from United States Consul Genera! Bigham, at Cape Town, and U dated May 2S. He says that all enterprises will be started anew, farms repaired and restocked and machinery bought, and that it will not be possible to get goods into the interior fast enough to meet the demand that will arise. All nations, Mr. Bigham says, are awaiting this coming trade and are preparing for it by establishing direct lines of ocean transportation, except the United States, v.hich. barring an occasional freight steamer, has no direct communication with Cape Colony. The United States, he continues, ships to South Africa more than twice as much goodr. as any other country xcept Great Britain. "As British subjects will have a great war debt to pay," says Mr. Bigham. "they very naturally think that the trade of South Africa belongs to them and will leave nothing undone to retain it. We canriot always depend solely on the superior quality of our goods; greater effort on our part is necessary." Alieed Hotel Swindler. SPRING FI BLD, Mass.. July IS.

CURRAN IS ANGRY AGAIN

MAY CALL OIT CHICAGO mKUiHT IIAM)Li:nS ON CS DAY. ThrentrnN to Renew the Mrlke If All the Old 3If ii Are Not Taken Hack by Ilnilvrays. CHICAGO, July IS. Another strike of the freight handler? of Chicago may be called Sunday night. President Curran, of the Freight Handlers Union, has issued a call for a mass meeting of all the freight handlers in the city, to be held at that time, to take action on the refusal of four railroads to reinstate all the old men. Mr. Curran said to-night that he regretted having to take this step, but was compelled to do go. He declared that when the settlement was made it was agreed with Frederick W. Job, chairman of the State Board of Arbitration, that all the old men were to be taken back when the strike was declared off. This, he fays, the Santa Fc, the Panhandle, the Northwestern and the Illinois Central railroads have not done, and unless they shall do so be'.ore the mass meeting Sunday nicht, another walkout will be ordered. "These four roads have broken faith." he paid, "because the reinstatement of all the old men was one of the things that Chairman Job insisted on particularly, and now they will be compelled to put tho men back. I am free to say that the freight handlers are more determined than ever to get justice and to stand by the union, and if another walkout is ordered not a man will return to work until each and every demand is acceded to. There will be no half-way business about it this time." L.MONS SHOULD INCORPORATE. Chicago Judge Advocate State Control of Indntrlal Dispute. CIJICAGO, July lS.-State legislation requiring corporations to submit to arbitrntion all industrial dilutes with their employes where the employes wish it, under penalty of forfeiture of charters in case of refusal, was advocated by Judge Murray F. Tuley in an address before the Illinois State Bar Association here to-day. It is not compulsory arbitration between man and man that Judge Tuley desires, and against that he protests, but as far as corporations are concerned he regards them as the creatures of the State, who may be required to go at least half way in an arbitration for the benefit of the community. Ah for the laboring men and the unions the judge believes that they will always be ready to do their share in arbitration, but in case they ever do not he makes the suggestion that they be compelled to incorporate and so be come themselves amenable to the law. Judge Tuley was elected president of the association for the ensuing year. Molder' Siek Itenellt Itnlted. TORONTO, Ontario, July IS. At to-day's session of the Iron Möhlers Association a resolution providing that the association withdraw from the American Federation of Labor was defeated.

It was resolved not to divide the organization into districts. The committee on a snorter work day reported in favor of a general demand for a nine-hour day on May 1, 1003, and recommended that all future contracts contain a nine-hour clause. Several of the delegates considered the resolution too radical, and as a substitute it was proposed that the international union recommend that everv local union In making demands and settling disputes give preference to a nine-hour day without decrease of wages. Th substitute was adopted by a large majority. Baltimore! Strike. BALTIMORE, July IS. The strike situation In this city is assuming grave aspects. Structural iron workers and hod carriers, both of which arc thoroughly organized, stand ready to join the striking carpenters whenever the word is passed. Should these craftsmen be called out building operations, which have been hampered since the beginning of the strike two weeks ago, will be suspended. The Hod Carriers' I'nion is composed of f) colored men. Should they walk out bricklayers and plasterers will be forced to cease work. The three unions of carpenters have formed a district council and have refused to accept the compromise offered by the contractors, but hold out for ?: a day of nine hours, with eight hours on Saturday.

"The rain which prevented Indianapolis and Louisville nlavinsr yesterday re minds me very much of the weather we experienced here In 1IX, when a complete series with Chicago was postponed on account of rain." said Manager Watkins last night. There would have been one of the largest crowds of the season at Washing ton Park yesterday had the weather been favorable, as great interest Is being taken by local fans in the race between Indianapolis and Louisville. Both teams have made remarkable records since they re turned from their first Western trip. Indianapolis has won about twenty-flve and lost about six games, while Louisville has made a trifle better record. There will be two games this afternoon between the leaders, the first contest to be called at 2 o'clock. With favorable weather there should be an enormous crowd and two exciting games. The Hoosiers lost two games on the last trip by errors at third base. Woodruff has recovered and will be back in the games to-day.

Is not at all satisfied with the situation. Jeffries did not leave his bed until nearly noon to-day. Fitzslmmons was up with the birds, however, and spent an active day at Skaggs. He will reach here on Sunday with his trainers. The betting is slow at 10 to 4. with Jeffries still favorite, rumors of the champion's Indisposition seemingly having had no effect on the Pacific yet. The sale of seats continues brisk, and the amphitheater at Fourteenth and Vanencia streets, where the battle will be fought, is almost In readiness. It is to be turned over to the club management within three days. TOLICE CLEARED THE HALL. Spectators nt Chlonjgo Fight I'pronrlonsly Opposed Referee. CHICAGO, July IS. Tom Couhig, of Dunkirk, N. Y., and Otto Sieloff, of Chicago, fought a six-round draw to-night, according to the referee. In the opinion of others Sieloff won the fight all the way. Couhig seemed unable to land on Sieloff with any effect and during the contest reached the Chicago man only three times. Sieloff pounded the New Yorker all over the ring and in the third round Couhig was compelled constantly to hold in the clinches to prevent being knocked out. During the remainder of the fight Couhig resorted to clinching and sprinting to avoid a knockout. Sieloff used a straight left, coupled with a right hook that apparently landed with telling effect. When the referee gave his decision of a draw there was such an uproar among the spectators that it was necessary to call the police to clear the hall. Ferns Bests Emerson. EUREKA SPRINGS, Ark., July IS. Jim (Rube) Ferns was given the decision tonight over Billy Emerson after ten rounds of lively fighting. Ferns forced matters throughout and clearly had the better of the contest. V AB ASH SHOOTING TOURNEY. Honors of the Lust Day "Won by Crosby, While rhellls Is Second.

Decatnr, III., Broker Chartert trith Violating: Internal Itevenne Law. SPRINGFIELD, 111., July 18.-B. Z. Taylor, a. respected citizen of Decatur, engaged in the brokerage and general commission business In that city, was brought to this city by United States Marshal Williams and waived examination before United States Commissioner Kldd on a charge of violating the revenue laws. He was held to the grand jury In bonds of $1.000. which he furnished. Taylor Is charged with not furnishing his customers with certificates In cases of deals of $10J or over, said certificates to have a 2-cent revenue stamp attached. Taylor claims that he is only agent of a commission house and that his house pays the tax. The commissioner of internal revenue has directed that the case be prosecuted, as it is a question of law whether such stamping of certificates by a commission house would relieve the broker of paying the stamp tax. Bishop Potter's Encasement. Chicago Evening Post. The announcement of the engagement of Bishop Potter has been received with many expressions of satisfaction. The good bishop learned from the earliest chapters of Genesis that it is.not pood that the man should be alone, particularly when the man is seventy-two yars of age, and whn the lonely man encounters a lady with JOO.OeO at her exclusive disposal who Is as lonely as he is. what more natural than that they should come to a harmonious and romantic understanding? Some time ago Bishop Potter was quoted as making an address In which he remarked that what Is worth do ing at all is worth doing well. We think there will be no dissenting opinion that in tr.is particular instance, and following his own counsel. Bishop Potter is doing very well. Chance for "Women. Chicago Evening Post. Mrs. Roosevelt's action In returning a check for $500, sent by the editor of a magazine as an Inducement to write a short essay on housekeeping, was almost as spirited as the contempt of the young woman who is said to have declined an offer of &u0 to pose a single week in & comic-opera chorus. And yet we hear It said that there Is very little opportunity for women of talent to earn money. Never In the history of literature or the dramatic art has there been so conscientious an effort to raise standards by liberal payments to notable women, and never were fuch flattering Inducements held out to ambitious womanhood. l'iulns Thought.

GOLF TOURNEY LEADERS

BYEnS AXD JAMES TO PLAY I'OIl THE CHAMPIONSHIP TO-DAY. Yesterday Playing in the Jeml Finals Mnrked by Bail AYeather and a Soft, "Wet Course. CHICAGO. July IS. Elther E. B. Byers. of the Allegheny Club, of Pittsburg, or Louis James, of the Glenview Club. Chicago, will wear the amateur golf championShip laurels to-morrow night. These two won their way through the semi-finals on the Glenview course to-day Byers rather easily, James after a heart-disease producing game and to-morrow will meet In the finals at thirty-six holes for the championship. If Byers and James play in the form they showed to-day the game may not be decided until the home green is reached. though Byers, on account of the marvelous golf he played yesterday, when he put Champion Travis out of the ruruilng, is perhaps a slight favorite. The game will be played over the first nine holes of the Glenview course, unless the rlayers shall elect to use rowboats. The low-lying lands, embracing the fair greens to the tenth, eleventh, thirteenth and seventeenth greens and the greens of the latter two, are covered with from two to ten inches of muddy water, the result of last night's terr'flc storm. Even the higher ground of the first nine holes Is in exceedingly poor condition for play, casual water abounding, while the whole course is soft and treacherous. Nevertheless, the United States Golf Association officials say the championship contest must be finished. A steady drizzling rain was falling to-night and prospects are that to-morrow's game will be played under conditions more suited to yachting than championship golf. The element of luck entered largely Into to-day's games, although it did not affect the ultimate results. Topped brassies that went into bunkers and then jumped out again, stymies, the use of lifting irons twenty feet from the holes and balls cov ered with mud were features of the day's play that tried the nerves of the contestants to the utmost. Dr. Fredericks, in his match with Byers, had three stymies laid against him. one of which he cleverly Jumped and' holed down. Young Relnhart, who almost Invariably gets oft low drives and brassies, sent three of them into bunkers. Had they stayed' in, the hole would probably have been lost in each instance, but each time the ball jumped out into a good lie. Twice, however, he topped iron shots into the duck pond, the last time with fatal results, as It proved the deciding hole of the game. Against this was golf under adverse conditions that was beautiful. Reinhart's Iron shots, as a rule, were perfect, while James's and Byers's putting won them many holes. James especially excelled In this, and he practically won in the afternoon by twice putting the ball in the cup from distance of about twenty feet. Should the weather clear to-morrow it is probable the largest gallerj- that ever witnessed a championship game will follow the play. Tennis Tourney Stopped by Ilain. CINCINNATI, O.. July IS. The tri-state tennis tourney was stopped by rain this afternoon during the men's finals after two games in the first set had taken place. Collins had a hard time defeating Tatterson, but Reuben Hunt walked away with Emerson. It is probable now that the tourney will be continued over until Monday, as the championship matches are five sets long and the men do not fancy playing ten sets in a single day. Hunt and Collins will meet in the finals to-morrow and Miss Banks and Miss Closterman will also -clash for the championship. Cyeler Maya "Won. BOSTON, July IS. In a twice postponed 25-mile motor-paced race at Charles River Park to-night Maya won by about eighty yards, his time being thirty-six minutes. Waithour was not able to race because of Injuries received last night. WOULD-BE KING KILLER. Arreat of an American AnnrcbUt "Who Intended to Slay Italy's Rnler. LONDON, July 13. A dispatch frorn Milan, Italy, to the Daily Telegraph reports the arrest by the police at Bra, near Turin, of a young barber who recently arrived there from Paterson, N. J. The prisoner gives his name as Tonettl, which Is believed to be assumed, and confesses that he is an Anarchist. Papers which were seized at his lodgings include correspondence with Taterson Anarchists and a document indicating that it was Tonettl's intention to assassinate Victor Emmanuel, who frequently traverses Bra on a motor car on his way to his private estates. PAID TIIEIH FARES. Southern "Edoentors Promptly Called to Time by n Conductor. New Orleans Times-Democrat. It is said that a pair of deuces and a six-shooter will beat a full-house in a poker Käme, but It takes a better hand than that to win a ride on a railroad train. Pe.ssengers on the Texas & Pacific train arriving in New Orleans at 7:3") o'cloek yesterday morning told a story of how Conductor Mitchell called the bluff of forty men, all of whom were armd with pistols and shotguns. They reasoned that a shotgun, properly and expeditiously handled, was a lesal tender for the payment of fare, but there was a flaw In their logic. Had they been dealing with the average conductor their tender would not only have secured free transportation. but would have entitled them 'to any change the conductor might have had with him. But Mr. Mitchell Is not an average conductor. When the train stopped at Chopin, a little station about fifty miles beyond Royce, it was boarded by a party of forty men who had gone up trom unyce to assist in elevating the negro race. Their services, it seems, had not been required, as the negroes readily recognized the educational value of the shotguns and with commendable haste became amenable to moral suasion. When the conductor went to collect fares from the party he was coolly Informed that as they had Rone to Chopin on public business, the railroad company should do Its share toward encouraging such public-spirited citizens by carrying them free. Mr. Mitchell told them that his experience with railroad companies had taught him that the Job of a conductor was larRely dependent upon the careful collection of fares and their prompt transmission to th company, and that while he was personally in favor of encouraging all such expeditions as they had been on, h was acting only in a menial capacity, and they would hnve to follow Kipling's advice and "pay, pay. pay." One large man with a gun that had every appearance of being loaded and designed for use. acted as spokesman for the party and told the conductor that they would not pay, and asked him what he intended to do about it. The leader was promptly informed that the train would be side-tracked and held until the men either got off or paid their fares. They tried to bluff but it didn't go. When the conductor reached for the bell cord, and the prospect of spending the night on a side track became imminent, the party weakened and consented to pay. The train proceeded on Its way and the fares were paid. The Old .Mnn Took n Hand. Kansas City Journal. A citizen of Kingman told his boys that he would show them how to make the firecrackers ound louder. He got the family bath tub, which had recently been purchased at a eot of $17. Under the tub be placed a giant cracker, and when It went off the bottom of that tub went sailing through the air. The trouble with some of us geniuses is tbat we are not so smart as , we look.

Bicycle Boom In England. London Mail. At least one class of trade has benefited by the postponement of the coronation. Cycle manufacturers, many of whom during the past three months have been complaining bitterly of the loss of business caused by wet weather, experienced quite a "boom" last week. The manager of the West End branch of one big firm yesterday Mated that their dally orders were nearly treble the average for the time of year. "On the latter days of last week." h added, "this branch was positively besieged by disappointed coronation visitors who had decided to spend the remainder of their holidays on a cycling tour." At the city depot of another firm It was ascertained that several large Coventry cycl manufacturers are turning out 2"0 machines a week. The colonial demand for machines has been quite, phenomenal. This may. perhaps, be accounted for by the larce number of colonial visitors who came oer with the Intention of combining business with pleasure, and are now arranging to return with big pupplies. If the present fine weather holds. It Is expected that for the months of June and July record sales will have ben reached, excepting the "boom" of ISO. Speaking generally, price have so far kept up very well considering the slackness in the early part of the season. Iremlnm for C.olrf Do! Iura. Philadelphia Times.
