Writing to a Chicago printers' supplies concern he says: "The dearth of printers is not con­ fined to Salt Lake City, nor even to Utah; it extends to Idaho as well. The condition is not the result of * poor wages; wages here are higher than ever. There is more business to do and not enough printers to do it. Three new railroads are being built and many towns are springing up in Idaho and Utah. Any printer can get a job at good wages. There are also many openings for enterprising publishers, to locate at points where no papers are now published." LATEST MARKET "QUOTATIONS.

The Boers surprised and captured four policemen, but in passing Wittebergen they were in turn surprised by a force under Major Hook, which received the invaders with well-directed volleys, and continued firing until the police­ men escaped.

German fle^ maneuvering in the Baltic telegraphed from Sassnitz, Island of Rugen, that the third-class cruiser Wacht had been sunk off Arkona after having been in collision with the battleship Sachsen.

We must have more ships. They must be under the American flag, built and manned and owned by Americans. These will not only be profitable in a commercial sense; they will be mes­ sengers of peace and amity wherever they «o. We must build the isthmian canal, which will unite the two oceans and give a straight line of water com­ munication with the western coasts of Central and South America and Mexi­ co. The construction of a Pacific cable cannot be longer postponed. In the furtherance of these objects of nation- al interest and concern, you are per­ forming an important part. This ex­ position would have touched the heart of that American statesman whose mind was ever alert and thought ever constant for a larger commerce and a truer fraternity of the republics of the new world. His. broad American spirit is felt and manifested here. He neea* no identification to an assemblage ot Americans anywhere, for the name of Blaine is inseparably associated with the pan-American movement, which finds this practical and substantial ex- pession, and which we hope will be firmly advanced by the Pan-American congress that assembles this autumn in the capital of Mexico.

Gentlemen, let us ever remem­ ber that our interest is in accord, not conflict, and that our real eminence rests in the victories of peace, not those of war. We hope that all who are represented here may be moved to higher and nobler effort for their own and the world's good, and that out of this city may come, not only greater commerce and trade for us, but, more essential than these, relations of mu­ tual respect, confidence, and friend­ ship which will deepen and endure.

Men are eager to find employment which will improve them physically, mentally, and morally, and they cannot get it. We find men, women, and little chil­ dren starving for want of the neces­ saries of life. Why is this pitiable state of affairs? The principal trouble is that some men have too much of this world's goods, more than they could have earned honestly in a life­ time. For years we have been treat­ ing with the employers on these ques­ tions. When the trust came we wanted to be conservative, but when the com­ bination of trusts came we saw that we must be vigilant. I cannot go into the details of the deliberations, but suffice it is to say that the trust decided to extinguish o«r organization when in last March it told the work­ ers in the Dewees Wood plant at Mc- Keesport that they would be dis­ charged if they organized. We asked the trust to sign the scale for its mills. Its answer was 'We will not sign, for if we let you organize all the mills the Amalgamated association will be too strong. We must have enough non­ union mills to hold the balance of power.' What is a non-union mill? It is a menace to wages. It helps to lower the wages of the workers to enrich the rich man in Wall street. They say that we brbke our contract when we came out on this strike. As the head of the Amalgamated association in the United States, I am here to say that such a statement is aa false as the heart of the man who made it. Our scale book is our Contract, and we are willing to work for the wages agreed therein. There is nothing in our con­ tract to compel us to continue work­ ing. It has been said that the strike is already lost, and that a wise General is always ready to retreat If by so do-: ing he can save his army from annihi­ lation. All I have to say to this Is, that Shaffer's motto Is 'A speedy death is preferable to starvation.' If we yield to the trust now, they shall be in theii> power. I would rather go down with the Amalgamated association in de­ struction than be its president With its members starving, but the amalga­ mated is pot going to be whipped; The trust and the newspapers will have their inning, ^ut there will be a few of us left at the finish. If It comes a last resort, there are the coal mitt): ers. If in the course of time theijr leaders shall think it best to quit work to help us, then we shall be thankful for their support." - "" . • • • • ; g; B*jraa Bays Newspaper.'.

Adverting to the possibility of the influence of the United States being exerted to com­ pose the pending questions, the min­ isters were directed to say that, while the relations of this government with both nations are equally intimate and friendly and every opportunity is taken to show the good will we bear them, an offer of the president's kind­ ly offices to arrange any differences which may exist between Colombia and Venezuela would be ineffective without the acquiescence of both. Nevertheless, inspired by the senti- m«»ts which are common to all the governments of the American repub­ lics, the United States would sincerely deplore a breach of the amicable rela­ tions that at this time happily exist between the sister nations of the west­ ern world, and would especially regret any action by either of them which might menace the security of transit across the isthmus or the neutrality of its territory and thereby constrain the government of the United States to consider Its responsibility and func­ tions under existing treaty engage­ ments with Colombia.
