Says Unions Should Not Interfer With Men Outside of Their Ranks. NEW YORK. Aug. —This afternoon Archbishop Ireland passed through New York, returning home from the Catholic Loyal Abstinence Convention at Hart- ford. Being asked to expres§ an opinion upon the present strike and strikes in general, he said: To empioyes entering willingly into a striki the matter is one of thefr own personal con. | cern, and others have but to co their personal right to act in they will. Men are the masters and of their labor; the liberty 1s theirs to work or mot to work, provided they undgrstand the consequences that follow and are Ratisfied to accept and endure such consequences. | indeed is this liberty at all times theirs, but we must furthermore grant that occasions m | artee agd do arise when a strike, however se- rious the consequences for the workman, is a means, and at times, perhaps, the sole means through which rights appertaining to them, and whiclr are of vital importance to thelr uitimate welfare, can be secured. When it Is that un- | der this aspect of things strikes may be al- { lowed, or even commended, is a question to be determined by close examination of the circum. | stances of each particular strike. I_am layin meneral principies of ethics—not decidifg the merits of any particu lar cese. But while the right (o enter upon a sirike fs and must be conceded as a right belongirg to the personal freedom of working- men, this must ever he demanded—and in the name of the same princivle of personal free- dom under which men may refuse to work they who cease to work must In no way inter- fere with the liberty of others who may wish to work. The personal freedom of -the indiv- idnal citizen is the most sacred and precious inheritance of Americans. The constitut] and_the laws authorize it; the spirit of the country proclaims it; the prosperity of the people, the very life of the nation, requires it. Whatever the other Interests at stake, that of rersonal freedom of the individual out- ranks them all, n it those are to be sacrificed. Neither State nor fellow citizen may interfere with my personal liberty. This is the very core of Americanism. This is the teachng of na- tional and Christian ethics. It is not for me to dispute the benefits that may be believed to acerue to the workingmen from labor unions; nor am 1 prepared to say from the informa- tion that comes to me through newspapers that | In the present strike unions pretend to shorten personal freedom of men that do not join their | ranks.” But this may be ever emphatically as serted and maintained as an Inviolable prin | ciple that however much Jabor unions may have | reason to widen_their muster roils, and thow- ever much they have the legal and moral right |to do this through pacific and persuasive methods,®they must not attempt to wrest from | men oufside their ranks the right to work, or to seek to coerce them into inactivity by illegal or unjust attacks upen their civil and moral freedom. | _Bauity and law are superior to the personal welfare of an individual or of the aggrega- tions of individuals, and equity and lasw de- mand that the personal freedom of the citi. | zen, whoever he {5, be made sacred and | secure. 8o long as this freedom fs respected the questions evoked in the present strike may be left, in my opinion, to the men, employers or employes, Who are directly concerned in it, aithough meanwkile all 3 | reasons to hove and pray that brotherly love and calm counsel will prevail both among em- | | | | ployers and employes, and that peace will soon | reign in the land. | — CREGON SHORT LINE Restrained ¥rom Interfering in Any Way With the San Pedro Company Road. SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 9.—By an in- junction granted at Carson City, Nev., to- day the Oregon Short Line is restrained from interfering in any way with the San Redro Company (the Senator Clark road) on the line in Lincoln County, Nevada. As the San Pedro road has claimed the right of way on the exact surveyed line of the Short Line the latter by this deci- sion will be unable to continue its work of construction until the injunction is set. tled at least. The hearing of the appli- cation for a’'permanent injunction was set for September 19. The decision affects about 130 miles of the proposed. line be- tween Salt Lake and Los Angeles, and is regarded as the most important decision in the litigation between _the -Oregon Short Line and the San Pedro road for | possession of right of way. —_— HURRY ORDERS TO RANGER. Vessel at San Diego Will Probably Leave for Panama. SAN DIEGO, Aug. 9.—Orders have been received by Captain Field of the crmser -Ranger to prepare at once for sea and to hold his vessel in readiness to leave on a moment’s notice. The vessel has been taking coal on in a rush and will to-mor- row take on supplies for three months. The officers are of tine opinion that the rugh orders are caused by the chance of difficulties with the insurgents and others at Panama, but nothing is known posi- tively and 'in all probability when the orders come they will be sealed, to be cpened after the crufser is started. Tha fact that supplies are to be taken for three months indicates that the journey will be toward the south.

Of- | fermanr:, was found this morning at the mouth of the large canyon back of “the Hotel Rafael. There were a number of ‘L‘ ts and bruises on the head and face nd much of a general character fo cause ia suspicion that murder had been com- mitted. The man had but a few dollars in his pocket. In the afterfioon an autopsy | was held and it was discovered that death | | was chiefly due to alcoholism. The man- ! ner in which Offermann sustained so many | injuries, however, has not yet been ex- ! plained. About 2 o'clock +this morning Rudolph Filchtenberg was awakened by loud talk- ing near his house, but thought little of it at the time. This morning Spitito Bec- | cuti and William Burns, both employed at | the Filchienberg's, observed a man crawl- ing around on@he embankment of the 0ad back of the house. He was mumbling {and talking to himself.

With Antonio Dorler, a shoemaker, dy ing from belladonna poisoning, and Wil- liam Holmes, a carpenter, in custody, pending investigation, the authorities at Point Richmond have a peculiar case in hand. into which they are probing to de- termine whether Holmes is responsible { criminally for his companion’s condition. | Dorler and Holmes had been drinking | for a week 4nd were on the verge of de- lirlum tremens when the strange occur- rence took place at the shoemaker's shop that led to the interference of the au- thorities. /| A short time before Dorler was found in a dying condition, Holmes went to a drug store and purchased a half -ourice vial of liquid extraet of bel! donna. He returned to the shop, and, he | says, went to sleep, leaving the poison | where Dorler could get hold of it. When | the carpenter awoke from his drunken | called Dr. Warley, who at once discov- | g7ed that Dorler was in a serlous condi- on. Constable Moller took charge of Holmes. To that officer the arrested carpenter told the following story: “Dorler and myself had been drinking hard, and this afternoon he made the yroposition that we should both cemmit | suicide. I was ready, and leaving Dorler | at his 'shop, went to' the drug store and bought the’ poison. -~ Going back to the shop 1 lald the vial down and dozed off to sleep. When I awoke I saw that Dor- | ler had taken the poison, emptying the bottie. I ran out for a doctor. Thats all I know about the affai Constable Moller is inclined to beligve the story, because there is no evidence that the men had quarreled, nor is there other apparent motive for murder. The men were boon companions during their drinking bout. The suicide story is fur- ther borne out by the fact that Dorler had once before attemnted to end his life when he was residing in San Francisco. He had difficulty with his wife, from whom he was separated, his troubles leading him to try suiclde. Dorler for- merly had a shoe business on Sixth street, San Francisco. He was about 50 years of age. .Holmes is single and about Dorler's age. He was working as a jour- neyman, having gone to Point Richmond from Crockett. —_— e NEARLY A MILLION CUT OFF THE ASSESSMENT Councilman Wixson Recovers From Attack of Cold Feet and Valua- tion Is Reduced. o AKLAND, Aug. 9.—Councilman J. 8.

To conclude a settlement with the Gov- ernment of Salvador over a claim of $500,000, A. W. Burgell, president of the | Salvador Commercidl Company, John H. | Ellis, treasurer, and William Lair Hill, the company attorney, departed to-day for the Central American republic. The Salvador Commercial Company is | the principal stockholder in a grant made in 1894 by the Salvadorian Government to | & corporation for the development of the | port of Bl Triunfo, on the bay of Jiqui- | lisco. Four years later the Government {in its peculiar Central American way is- | sued decrees which practically nuilified | the grant, destroyed the value of the fran- | chises, and left the American stockholders in the air, ciinging to their stock certi- ficates in desperation. But the American shareholders did not pocket their losses and say nothing. As | soon as they realized what had occurred ! no time was lost in bringing the matter to | the_attention of the Secretary of State at Washington. The diplomatic depart-| ment investigated the case and decided that it was a proper one for interference | by the United States Government. After | ja hearlnfi. decision was given that it was | proper that the Government of Salvador should pay damages to the mulcted American investors. The representative at Washington of the Central American state intervened with a réquest that be- fore peremptory demands had been made | opportunity should be afforded his Gov- | ernment to make a settlement out of court. This action was agreeable to the officers of the Salvador Commercial Company. | who at once prepared to make the trip | south with their documents and their de- mands, the latter reaching half a miflion dollars. It is stipulated that the settle- ment must be made by September 15. The party expect to arrive at the city of San Salvador on August 25, and they believe | the negotiations can be concluded before | the expiration of the time designated. SANTA ROSA’S MEETING.

PRS- “Pitchfork” Denies That Mill Owners Want to Turn State Over to Republicans. —_— GREENVIHLE. 8. C., Aug. 9.—Senator McLaurin to-day addressed 2000 people at Oakway, near Westminster. He empha- sized his position on \national issues, touched the Paris treaty and expansion and g@dvocated the building of a mer- chant marine, which shall fly the stars and stripes. Many of the issues discussed to-day had not been presented to the peo- ple in this vicinity since the days preced- ing the attack on Fort Sumter. The prin- cipal part of Senator McLaurin's audience was made up of farmers and they ap- plauded liberally. UNION, 8. C., Aug. 9.—Senator B. R. Tillman was the last speaker at a big meeting here to-day. He discussed the “‘commercial democracy,” advocated by Senator McLaurin without personal bit- terness or abuse, and said in part: The report is going the rounds that the mills are behind this new doctrine. I do mot believe any such report. I deny that the mills and their owners want to turn the State over to the Republicans. 1 give them credit for more patriotism and more sense. These mill people know better and that they would run into a stone, and that these people are not for sale. I want to give a warning to those who have beén misled. Thers are some of these weak creatures around, but I feel that all are not so foolish. In 1900 we had 400,000 spindies, and now there are about 2,000,000 spindles. The boom began when Claveland was in the White House. Cleveland did nothing to heip mills, nor did McKinley help them. They were were found profit- because of the nearness to the fleld and the climate. Our goods entered China on 2 competitive basls pure and simple. The cry that if we don’t join the Republican party we will go backwards is a humbug and a lie. It is common sense that if we bave the and the prices we will seil the goods. Senator Tillman failed to see any reason or excuse for the millmen following com- mercial democracy. He feared the trouble was “due to the fact that they had been associating with northern bankers.” The native mill operatives, he said, would not be coerced or seduced into a commercial democrac; During the five years that the mill op- erators were making 25 to 50 per cent profit they did not raise salaries or re- duce the hours of their operatives, he said, and he did not see why the opera- tives should now join the Republican party through ‘“commercial democracy simply because their employers were not now making 100 per cent on their invest- ments. He said\ he did not care to take up the latest of McLaurin's pronounce- able here Rosa Racing Association, to be held here | ments or even dignify them with an an- next week, will be one of the best held in this vicinity .in years. Some of the most noted horses in America will race then. Among them are’ Heehamus, a frequent winner at New York last summer and this | season first in a number of races at Oak- land; Good Hope, a mare that has failed | but once in her last twenty-five starts to take a purse; Byron Rose; Mike Rice: Catherine Bravo; Corncalte: Twinkle, and others equally as well known. The event of the week will be the free for all trotting race. Monterey, 2:09%, the Western stallion stake last fall, and third in the great stallion stake at New York in 1899, will be pitted against Osita, the horse that gave him a hard rub at Tan- foran last fall. In this race will also be two famous mares, Iora and Anzella. Some fast pacers will be seen here. El Diablo, Queen R, Freddie C and Edna R are among these. Special races have been arranged for horses owned in Sonoma and adjoining counties. A number of running races have also been prepared, and in all lovers of racing will have an enjoyable week.~ Following is the list of entries for harness horses, arranged later: but other races will be | 24 class pace—G.

A special train containing nearly fifty horses left Emeryville track yesterday for Santa Rosa to participate in the mixed race meeting for trotters, pacers and run- ners which opens Monday. This is the first time that the zunners have been given an opportunity to contest over the track controlled by the Santa Rosa Rac- ing Association. In previous years only the trotters and pacers have been allowed to kick up the dust of the Sonoma County track, and, in fact, the entire northern part of the State put a boycott on the runners. This year at Yreka a few run- ning races were placed on the programme and they met with such favor by the pub- lic that P. H. Quinn, president of the Santa Rosa Racing Association, who hap- pened to attend the Yreka meeting, deter- mined to try the experiment in his town. The result is looked forward to by horse- men from all parts of the State. All the best runners left in the-State | are quartered at Santa Rosa,,and so far as racing material Is conceriied tnere is nothing lacking to make the meet a suc- cess. Of the harness division the pacers outnumber the trotters, especially green pacers, of which there are a large num- Dber at present in this State. The most In- terest is centered in the free for all trot, scheduled for Friday. Iora, - Monterey, Anzellan and Alta Velox, four of the most evenly matched trotters in the State, are engaged and a great race should result. There will be three or more running races and two trotting or pacing races each day of the meeting. —— et Non-Union Tribulations. A. Alexander, a teamster for Pattoslen & Co., Sixteenth and Misston streets, swore to a complaint before Judge Ca- baniss yesterday for the arrest of two men_on the charge of battery. He said that the two men, who were striking teamsters, chased him Thursday night and struck him. While trying to escupe from them he pushed his right hang throusn a plate glass window and cut it adly. A man who gave his name as R. Spen- cer, late of Los Banos, was treated at the General Emergency Hospital yesterday morning for four scalp wounds and a lacerated wound of the ear. Spencer said that he came to’the city in hope of getting empluyment as a teamster and on iand- ing went into a water front salqon to in- quire about the job, when he was set upon by five men who beat and robbed him of §14, after which they left the saloon. C. B. Griffin, a striking teamster, ap- peared in Judge Mogan's court yesterday on the charge of battery for striking Michael Carroll, a non-union teamster for J. C. Wilson & Co. The case was con- tinued till August 26. Carroll alleges that when they left the courtroom Griffin threatened to him and he swore: to a warrant in Judge Cabaniss’ court for Griffin’'s arrest on,that charge. Frank Branston, a_machinist employed ‘at the Union Iron Works, living at 614 Howard street, was attacked last night about 8 o’clock ‘at the corner of Third and Minna streets by a crowd of men. Brans- ton was badly beatenrabout the head and face and indications are p: fracture of the skull. He was detained at the Central Emergency Hospital for observation.

SANTA MONICA, Aug. 9.—There will be no new tennis champion of Southern California this year, for Alfonso Bell and Miss May Sutton defended their titles sue- | cessfully yesterday, and the budding | hopes of the northern contingent were | nipped. After Reuben Hunt made such a determined fight against Hendricks nesday grave fears existed in the mi of tennis enthusiasts that he would do the same thing with Bell and the laurel wreath of 1901 would be worn by a north- ern playen But all fears were dispelicd | before the contest for the cup was ten | minutes old, for the Boyle Heights Ten- I nis Club representative outclassed Hunt at ewery point of the game. The cham- pion walked away from his opponent so easily that jt robbed the match of much interest. After much congratulation of Cham- pion Bell, Miss May Sutton played her cup match against her sister, Miss Flor- enee. The latter has been playing a vast- ly improved game during the month and she gave the youngest member of the Sutton family a great fright by the man- ner in which she started out.
