PORTLAND, Or. Sept. 2.—The local unions of pressmen and bookbinders have given their employers until Monday even- ing to grant them an eight-hour day at the same rate of wages now received for nine hours’ work. Resolutions were passed to this effect at a special meeting of the unions last night. They job print- ers are now asking for a reduction of hours, but expect a proportionate de- crease to be made in their wages. The reason assigned for their stand is that the proprietors had many contracts which they secured by figuring on the longer workday.

Some time ago Jacob Soares, messenger in the Governor's of- fice, organized a lodge of the Knights of Pythias made up exclusively of colored citizens and named it Columbia Lodge. It happens that there s a Pythian Colum- fa lodge of long standing made up of white citizens, and when they heard of the assumption of the name Columbia by the lodge of colored men they rebelled. They asked that the name be changed, but the colored Knights declined to con- #ider the request, saying they were or- ganized under a charter granted by the Supreme Lodge of Colored Knights of Pythias, with headquarters in Massachu- setts, that they like the name Columbia, and all they wanted was to be let alone. Colonel William Hogan, a member of the original Columbia Lodge, sald to-day that the grievance of his brother Knights had been referred to the grand chancellor of California. “We claim the name Co- lumbia belongs to and we propose to fight to retain it,” sald Colonmel Hogan. Some of the members of the original Co- lumbia Lodge favor going to law to main- tain thelir lodge name. — e DECLARES NO HAZING EXISTS AT ANNAPOLIS Superintendent and Secretary Moody Have Conference Concerning Naval Academy Discipline.

H L i ERKELEY, Sept. 25.—The formal taking over of the new Greek theater, which was dedicated yes- terday, was accomplished this morning at a university meeting held at the theater. There was nothing like the stirring scene of yesterday, noth- ing like such a crowd, but there was that same old student enthusiasm, and the thousand or more ‘“rooters” and co-eds tucked away in one cornmer of the big theater made it interesting. President Wheeler, who presided, re- ferred briefly to the significance of the meeting, which he said ought always to be remembered for the new epoch it in- augurated. The address of the day was delivered by the Most Rev. George Montgomery, Coadjutor Archbishop of San Francisco, whom President Wheeler introduced as | the “friend of the young people and a good man.” Bishop Montgomery spoke at length upon the school system of the country, saying in part: 3 Law is simply a reflex of the character of the individuais that constitute society. The two great factors forming the characier of the individual—hence of the social body—are religion and education. The great economic problems that press upon the age must be solved by the educator and the churchman. ETHICAL LESSONS NEEDED. Many people say that religious instruction should be divorced from secular@training in ail schools supported by the State. The Catholic Church holds that a proper interpretation of the letter and epirit of the educational and religious institutions would develop a plan by which the State may profit by all the religious forces without compromising the principle of withholding state aid from the teaching of re- ligicn. The State is not hostile to religion, Then why should not the State pay for secular education in those schools where Methodism or Episcopalianism or * Catholicism {s taught? Why should the State concern itself as to who imparts secular education? In two schools—one exclusively for secular training, the other for both secular and re- ligious training—the same curriculum, the same books,. the same examination of teachers would and should obtain. The result would be that those Who really belteve in dogmatic re- vealed religlon would build school houses at thelr own expense and offer teachers qualified to teach secular branches, to be accepted or re- jected by the school boards of the State. And before the money had been pald the State could see that the secular instruction had been given. Having given satisfactory secular in- struction the teachers could in thelr own way impart that religious instruction desired by pa- rents. This would solve the vexed problem. Besides the Roman Catholics and German Lutherans—who support private schools, not in rmzen against secular training—nearly all the eading Protestant denominations are asking for more religion in the schools. There can not be more religion in the schools, as now organized and endowed, without gross violation of the rules. The modification would not change, but broaden the system. The schools Where no re- “'mnll. taught would remain the same as at STATE RESTS ON RELIGION. The State has no religion, yet the State rests upon reiiglon. The Government acknowledges the fact. The declaration of independence ac- knowledges & personal God. Washinginton, in his inaugural address, declared that our hopes a8 a free people, the protection of property, our lives, our reputations, rest not on large armies, nor on commerce, nor on secular education, but on the religious obiigations of an oath. Every officer of State, from President to po- liceman, calls to ‘witness his assertion of faithfulness to his trust when inducted into office. Is it not worth while to preserve this senee of religious obligation of an oath? 5 A system of education that excludes a code of ethics based upon the tural cannot G“ religious sanction to an oath such as ‘ashington claimed our property, our reputa- tions and lives depended upon for security.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 25.—F. W.! Tanby has caused considerable trouble among the San Manuel Indians by enter- ing upon their reservation above High- land and posting a notice appropriating all the water in the one spring on the place, for upon its supply the Indians de- | pend absolutely. It was only a small spring bubbling out of the mountain side when the Inclans first went to the place twenty-five years ago. They set to work | to develop it and have succeeded in get-| ting a steady flow of about five inches. | In order to preserve the water while| not In use the Indians have built a little reservoir about the spring and from this the water is diverted in ditches to the various tracts which the tribe has under cultivation. The notice posted by Tanby | was discovered yesterday by the Indians. | Instantly every member of the tribe hur- | rled up the side of the mountain to get a glimpse of the offensive notice. There was not one of them who could read it, | but the older members knew that its import was not of a welcome nature. The aged members of the tribe. old men and | women, broke down in despair, wrung| their hands and walled doefully, while| the stalwart braves grunted scornfully. | The Indians have appealed to the Gov- ernment and should they receive no an- swer trouble may be looked for.

Mr. Tully spoke about the future of the university, which he belleved is destined to be the greatest In the world. He said: “This university has a democracy that is found in no other university.

Rob- erts, Treasurer of the United States, who is attending the joint convention of the Maryland and District of Columbia Bank- | ers’ Association, which Is being held on board a steamboat on the Potomac River, to-night delivered an address before that convention, in which he sald: National bank notes constitute less than one- | sixth of our stock of money, $418,557.975 out of $2,708,693,663, and no that ratio very materl: hand, furnishes §1 gislation can change Gold, on the other 94v, or hard on | one-half of our stock, and it grew nearly $12,- 000,000 last month.

GROWTH OF TREASURY. More vital yet s the growth of the official treasury of the several countries. In five years the Bank of France has gained $127,640,000 and the Austro-Hungarian $79,120,000. 'In the same period the Imperial German Bank has lost $38,683,000, the Bank of England $2,265, 000, and Ruasia $132,240,000. Good fortune has added to the gold in the Treasury vaults of the United States from the close of August, 1898, to_the first day of the current month $393,980, or very nearly $80,000,000 a year on the average. Let us get a little to the bank vaults and the pockets of the people.

Ridgely and Ellls H. Roberts, Treasurer of the United States. On the way down from Washington Thursday night Secretary Shaw made a speech in which he took a decidedly opti- mistic view of the business prospects of the country. MORE BONDS NECESSARY. The Secretary sald that we either must issue more bonds as a basis of national bank circulation or provide some substi- tute. The present volume of Government bonds, he said, was insufficient, and a re- cent demand for $6,000,000 of Government bonds had consequently advanced the price of Government bonds to a figure that made national bank circulation un- profitable. But, he added, any currency system adopted must provide for ex- changeability of every form of money. so that our people would never have cause to look twice at bills presented in regular course of their busin Speak- ing of the functions of a bank, he said its success should not be measured by its customers’ legitimate needs. Its reserves, in his opinion, should be avallable for use in times of emergency, and were not in- tended to be buried and never touched. The recent deposits of public moneys and offers to redeem bonds had not made, he went on, with any expectation of aiding the stock market, but solely to assure the business qmen of the country that there should be no money famine this autumn. “Go home,’ " he sald to the bankers, | “ana tell your merchants and manufac- turers and railroad people that you are still doing business at the old stand and expect to remain, Stand by the business interests of the country and all will be well. The prosperity of the American people is not measured by the price of stocks and bonds, but by the output of our farms and factories and the profitable employment of labor.” —_———— DATE OF EXECUTION OF CURTIS JETT FIXED Slayer of James Cockrill at Jackson Must Die on Gallows December 18.

Prices Indicate General Be- lief in Improved Crop Prospects. NEW YORK, Sept. %5—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: Notwithstanding several unsatisfactory volume of trade continues | large and the distribution of merchandise taxes shipping’ facilities. Announcement of a concerted effort to restrict produc- tlon of pig iron indicates that supplies have begun to accumulate. Rallroad earnings continue to show gains, Sep- | tember returns thus far exceeding last year's by 8.7 per cent, and those of 1%l |ty 17.3 per cent. Traffic blockades oc- curred to some extent, although the movement of farm products is still un- | seasonably small. New labor controversies have begun, but a number of serious troubles have been averted, and on the whole the num- ber of .men idle voluntarily has dimin- ished. Enforced idleness in the iron and steel industries is more than offset by the | resumption of spindles at cotton mills and there is great activity at footwear fac- torfes, although the margin of profit is | narrow. Lower prices for the leading ag- | rcultural staples indicate a general be- | ltef in tmproved crop prospects. Jobbing | trade is still making good comparisons with previous years and, while the zenith | has been passed in fall dry goods, it is | stfll a satisfactory season. At many im- portant points the weather has been more propitious for retail trade and collections are fairly prompt, considering the tight- | ness of the money market. | Fatlures this week numbered 233 in the United States against 207 last year, and 19 in Canada, compared with 32 a year ago. Bradstreets to-morrow will say: Reports of conservatism and even cau- tion in fall and winter trade testify to the sbserce of the spur of insistent de- rand which a year ago gave the selling side such an advantage. The fewness of car shortage complaints 3 evidence alfke of the later movement of crops and of discrimination in orders by consumers.

LONDON, Sept. 2%5.—General indignation has been aroused here by a dispute be- tween the postoffice authorities and the | management of the London and Nogth- western Railroad over the payment for the transportation of mails, by which the American mails have been serfously de- layed at Liverpool when, under excep- tional circumstances, they have not been handled at Queenstown. It appears that the railroad disputes its Hability to carry to London a larger portion of the Atlantic mail than can be stowed away in an or- dinary boat train without extra payment. The recent arrival of the Umbria mail | brought matters to a head, the raflroad | officials refusing to forward the surpius | mail bags until the postoffice agents pay | the cost. Confronted unexpectedly with this ultimatum the postoffice complied un- der protest. On the arrival of the Etruria | September 19 the rallroad took up'a stmi- | lar stand, but on this occasion the postal authorities stubborn! declined to compiy with the conditions. Consequently, hun- dreds of mail bags brought by the Etruria were left at the pier and were forwarded to London in small numbers, as the ac- commodatiorf of the postal cars of the or- dinary trains perrajtted, the last portion of the Etruri#s mail not leaving Liver- | pool until Monday. | —————— | B1SBEE MINER MEETS WITH TERRIBLE DEATH Big Bucket Containing Tons of Molten Slag Falls on Top | of Him. | TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. %5.—Joseph Bailey, | a miner employed about the smelters at Bisbee, met a horrible death om Thurs- day.
