THE TITUSVIIXE HERAU). FORTY-FIRST YEAR. TITUSVILLE, PA., JULY 16, 1902. VOLUME XLI, NO. 125. SETTLEMENT STILL SEEMS FA« AWAY. TEN THOUSAND MEN AND TWENTY-FOUR RAILROAD8 INTERESTED. •COMMISSION MEN MAY DRIVE Should Thty Attempt This, the Police Fore* ef the City Would Not Be Adequate. , V V i CHICAGO, July 14—While the wholesale business ot this city is almost completely paralyzed and while its business men are suffering a loss "of $1,000,- •000 per day, the striking freight hand- r?c\;s and the railroads are ln a deadlock and announce their intention to fight to a finish over the question of •one-half cent per hour per man or a total, of about $500 for every twenty- four hours; this'sum being divided on ■one side between twenty-four railroads and on the other between 10,000 men. The situation tonight is more seri- ' ous than at any time" since the commencement „pf the trouble and at na time since the walk-out have the points .at issue been so obstinately maintained. Three times today the freight handlers sent committees to meet the general managers and three times they came back without result. The committee that went to the MIN waukee and St. Paul road came back bearing the information fhat they had heen refused admission and Were informed that their former employers 'did not care to receive them; that they had all the men necessary in their business and that hereafter no deputations would be received from employes who had gone on strike. Tbe officials of both the roads declared later that they Would maintain ttytis position. After this had been reported at the headquarters of the strikers President •Curran announced that the flght was mn to a finish and that hereafter when the railroads had airy overtures to make or wished to dov any business with their employers \hey would be compelled jto transact such business through the officers of the freight handlers' union.' Both sides now de- •clare they have reached the limit and that absolutely nothing will be conr| ceded. The men demand 17% cents; the managers say they will not under any circumstances pay. more than 17 •cents. The business men of the «lty, particularly those who deal ih perishable goods, are growing restive and declare ■they can endure the situation but a -short time longer. It is costing them ■more than either the strikers or the •railroads and they say that if the strike] •shall not be settled within a Week many of them will be badly crippled. 'To bring abqut an end to the V.ockade which is maintained by the strikers and their friends, the teamsters, the com- inisskra men of,South Water street met this afternoon to take matters into their own hands. It was out of the question for their employes to look to the teamsters to drive to the depots and they therefore determined to drive their own wagons to the depots tomorrow and remove from them all the goods that have been .consigned to them, much of which „is rapidly being ruined. • A message was sent to Mayor Harrison asking if poliee protection Would be given them, and the word was received that ample protection would' be afforded. Just at his time, however, word was received that President Young, of the teamsters' national union, had arrived in the city and that a meeting of the executive officers of that body would be held tonight to consider tbe advisability of ordering the men now on strike to return, or, of calling out evferv teamster in the city who is affiliated with the union. The merchants then decided to await tbe results of the meeting and if the teamsters should be ordered out, or if tbey did return wben ordered back they would' *?o "or their own freight. A mass meeting ot the commission men -will be held at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to take action. It is not likely the teamsters will return to work even If ordered by their officers. During the day the officials of the Erie road, sent a communication to Chief of Police O'Neil paying they had, been informed that merchants in the olty were preparing to deliver freight to the Erie road and demanding that the police furnish them protection while it was being done. The letter was referred to Corporation Counsel Walker, who declared that it was the duty of the police to furnish such protection and the Erie people were informed that protection would be given them. The police say that it Is impossible for them to place a man on every wagon that is seeking the •freight depots and say they will not attempt this. They declare they will keep the way to the freight house ■open and suppress all disorder around the depots. The danger to the men who deliver freight ls not so much at the depot as it will be from the men who will foUow them when they leave the depot and attack them when they, are not In the vicinity of the police. There were but few such cases today as nobody attempted to deliver freight. One driver took two small packages to the depot of the Pennsylvania road and at last accounts'he was'still beseiged there. Many pickets were waiting for hi n and he was afraid lo leave the depot. The firm of J. V. Farwell & Co. today at mpted to take some cases of dry gr' ds from their warehouse to their si e on Market street and e crowd of sr.'.-n and boys surrounded'the wagon, ci;t the traces and refused to allow the wagon to proceed. The wagon had not been near a freight depot and was not bound for one. The strikers would give no reason for their attack In thin. eago. THE GORDON ALL RIGHT.

The local operators say that no plan Rev. Curran can propose at this late day will be entertained by the operators and that if he went to Philadelphia and New York in the hope tbat he can interest the presidents of the big coal companies his mission will be a fruitless one.

Balfour was today formally greeted as Great Britain's premier and the new regime began its work. The momentous change was marked by only one really dramatic incident, namely, the resignation of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach from his post as chancellor of the exchequer, ^et this lack of outward show and public prelude to a new chapter In English history is by no means representative of the disturbance which the sudden transition created among the under currents of political life. It is safe to say that Sir Michael Hicks- Beach is only the first of several whose names have figured largely before the public in the last half century and who now will disappear from tire political arena. Nothing absolutely definite is yet said, but the Unionist party expects shortly to hear of the resignations of Earl Halsbury, lord high chancellor; Lord James, of Hereford, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster and Earl Cadogan, lord lieutenant of Ireland. ANOTHER STREET CAR 8TRIKE IMMINENT. Trouble Over the Interpretation of Seniority Clause at Scranton. SCRANTON, Pa., July 14.—Another street car strike is imminent. When the last six months' strike ended on April 7, one of the agreements entered into was that preference in runs shouid be regulated by seniority of service. General Manager Silliman insists on interpreting this to mean that service previous to the strike is not to be taken into consideration. The men contend that it was. understood tbe strikers were to have their old ranking. The carmen's executive committee ■ent an ultimatum to Manager Silliman today. If he does not before Thursday agree to interpret the seniority clause as they would have it Interpreted they will recommend a tie-up. Mr. Silliman ■aid this afternoon he would stand by the interpretation he gives. STARTED OFF AT ! 1 BARRELS.

The following is the Fourth of July oration delivered at Hydetown by Alfred Ross and published at the request of many Herald readers who were unable to hear the address: The ,^'ourth day of July, measured by an: standard whatsoever, is America's great national holiday. It ls a day replete with the story of our com- mon country. A century and a quarter ago "our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived ln liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal," and to that end, in general congress assembled, they mutually pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. This was not because they loved the mother country less, but their own the more. It was because they believed all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, among which are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and firmly believing in those prinoiples, they dared to do, they dared to act, they dared to be the Americans they professed to be, free and independent. Three millions of people, skirted by the melancholy wastesfof ocean old and grey on the east and their western horizon the Appalachian chain of mountains stretching from the rockbound coasts of Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, armed in the holy cause of liberty, boldly published to the world the imperishable and eternal truth that all government rests with the people and is founded upon their wants and fears; that there are certain privileges which all mankind may claim as tholr rightful heritage. * Believed that "To all men born, one gate opens; No gate of gold, opens, And no man sues Beyond the gods and fate." All things and events, be they great or small, have their beginning; and th'e landing of a homeless, struggling band of pilgrims on the storm-swept coasts;: of old New England was the Inception of the Revolution. The beginning of the end of foreign rule in the western world, and well did their poet express a truth of history, .when he saiif,- "Thanks be to God for winter time thrt bore the Mayflower up To pour amid New England snows the treasures of its cup; To fold them in its icy arms those sturdy pilgrim sires, And weld an iron brotherhood around their Christmas fires." . 'The pilgrim was the father of the Revolutionary patriot. The sturdy sons of the pilgrim fathers, born amid the rocks and hills of old New England, Where the meadow brooks sing of a freedom sweet and wild, or where the blue waters of the Delaware and Susquehanna sweep triumphantly on" to the Atlantic; or be it on the broad plantations of the Old Dominion, in-the dreamy Carolinas, in the pine scented fore*ttu/>f Georgia or in flower-laden pr-icrfMST to them liberty' was! life and nothing Was free that had not freedom. -o them the carol of bird song and the glint of heaven's sunshine through the treetops were their keepers of time- Children of nature and of a new and struggling nation, they pillowed their heads close to the bosom of Mother Earth, drank from her crystal springs, wove their own raiment from the flocks of the hillside and gained their sustenance from what the vallies and forests yielded. The builders of villages and cities where the American savage had pitched his tent; 'the pioneers to the highest type of civilization the world has ever known; the very air they breathed, the deep virgin forests, the swift flowing rivers, the cool shimmering lakes, the murmuring streams, the rugged hillsides and the towering mountains, inspired them with that intense love of home, of country and of liberty, that rather than lose it they"offered their all upon the altar of the nation. "By the golden growing eastern stream of sea; By the sounds of sunrise moving in the mountains; By the forces of the floods and unsealed fountains, Thou that badest man be born bade man be free." And the occasion and the hour brought forth the men as it has ever done. From down by the placid waters of the Potomac, where they seek their home in the sea, came the keen mind, the noble heart and the strong arm of the young Washington. He who unsheathed his sword for the holiest cause that ever fired, a human heart' to action; he who inspired the national breast to thrill witb hope when hope seemed a delusion and a snare; he' who suffered with the suffering at Valley* Forge; he whose noble devotion to country and to duty, and whose years of patient toil were at last wreathed with the laurels of victory at York town; he who spurned a throne and glittering crown just to be a man and an American; he who by his gentleness and his justice unbound the brows of, hate; he of whom it has been said, "Providence left him childless that he might be called the father of our country"—we love and we revere his memory today. O, let the ifiillions of happy people in one grand chorus exclaim: "Praised above men be thou. Whose laurel-laden brow, Made for the morning, droops not ln the night; Praised, and beloved that none Of all thy great things done Flies higher than thy most equal spirits flight. Praised that nor doubt nor hope could bend Earth's loftiest head, found upright to the end." Our own commonwealth of Pennsylvania loves to claim Franklin, the statesman, as her own. From the shades of old Virginia came Jefferson, and Massachusetts, the cradle of American liberty, gave us Adams. They declared those principles of government that have boldly entered every, throne room on the.face of the earth and mado . them to tremble like a reed shaken of the wind. They instituted a new government, .laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them seemed most likely to effect their safety and happiness and that of all posterity. And how well, how splendidly they poured forth their wfs- dom, their strength and their energy, a peace and liberty-loving nation of seventy-six millions of people today pay grateful tribute to their memory, embracing forty-five imperial commonwealths, stretching from ocean to ocean ahd from the land bf snows to the southland that is kissed by the warm breath of the eternal summer. The government founded by the patriot fathers has gone beyond the experimental stage. It has stood the fiercest tests of time and the strongest tnunderbolts of war hurled against lt from without and within have fallen like the snowflakes on the mountain side. Vast armies of its own children have beat upon those walls and they fell not, and the great captain of the houK,' came forth and declared that "the nation had, under God,. a new birth of freedom; that the government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." In the hour of peril the sons of the patriots upheld the work of their fathers. And he whom we lately mourn; be whose face was like the sunshine, whose voice was like the music of the winds; he whose domestic life rests like a benediction on every hearth and home under all tbe* stars; he whose wisdom' was the guiding lamp to the. weary feet and toiling hands of the struggling, sweating millions; he whose counsels have made us "a cloud of smoke by day and a pillow of flre by night" among the nations of tbe earth; he who struck the blow for humanity and flve hundred thousand of the flower of American manhood volunteered in a day .to make good the bat tie hymn of the republic: "In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; And as He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free." Him we knew fn the flesh and today he ls a tower' of strength to the weak and a well of water to the famishing and thirsty. We know that the love of liberty and patriotism of the fathers, conceived in the hour of peace and' born amid the lightnings of war was not a dream, was not a mockery, was not a delusion. We know that the faith of the fathers has been kept inviolate and made sacred and holy by the precious blood of the sons, and with a firm faith in the protection and goodness in a Divine Providence, believe it will, be kept for all time. O, let us ever lift our faces up, let us ever turn them to the sunshine and dispel forever the fogs and mists of doubt and fear. The same sweet* stars that twinkled down on the bleeding patriots of Lexington and Brandywine shone down on our sacred dead at Gettysburg and San Juan HIU, and their glory ls for you and for me. The same flag that floated over the victory of Yorktown the mighty hosts of Grant followed through the Wilderness and on to the triumphs of Appomattox; the same flag that waved over the smoke and carnage In Manila bay when the boasted Armada of the nineteenth century WATCHES.

Balfour was today formally greeted as Great Britain's premier and the new regime began its work. The momentous change was marked by only one really dramatic incident, namely, the resignation of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach from his post as chancellor of the exchequer, ^et this lack of outward show and public prelude to a new chapter In English history is by no means representative of the disturbance which the sudden transition created among the under currents of political life. It is safe to say that Sir Michael Hicks- Beach is only the first of several whose names have figured largely before the public in the last half century and who now will disappear from tire political arena. Nothing absolutely definite is yet said, but the Unionist party expects shortly to hear of the resignations of Earl Halsbury, lord high chancellor; Lord James, of Hereford, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster and Earl Cadogan, lord lieutenant of Ireland.

The following is the Fourth of July oration delivered at Hydetown by Alfred Ross and published at the request of many Herald readers who were unable to hear the address: The ,^'ourth day of July, measured by an: standard whatsoever, is America's great national holiday. It ls a day replete with the story of our com- mon country. A century and a quarter ago "our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived ln liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal," and to that end, in general congress assembled, they mutually pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. This was not because they loved the mother country less, but their own the more. It was because they believed all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights, among which are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and firmly believing in those prinoiples, they dared to do, they dared to act, they dared to be the Americans they professed to be, free and independent. Three millions of people, skirted by the melancholy wastesfof ocean old and grey on the east and their western horizon the Appalachian chain of mountains stretching from the rockbound coasts of Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, armed in the holy cause of liberty, boldly published to the world the imperishable and eternal truth that all government rests with the people and is founded upon their wants and fears; that there are certain privileges which all mankind may claim as tholr rightful heritage. * Believed that "To all men born, one gate opens; No gate of gold, opens, And no man sues Beyond the gods and fate." All things and events, be they great or small, have their beginning; and th'e landing of a homeless, struggling band of pilgrims on the storm-swept coasts;: of old New England was the Inception of the Revolution. The beginning of the end of foreign rule in the western world, and well did their poet express a truth of history, .when he saiif,- "Thanks be to God for winter time thrt bore the Mayflower up To pour amid New England snows the treasures of its cup; To fold them in its icy arms those sturdy pilgrim sires, And weld an iron brotherhood around their Christmas fires." . 'The pilgrim was the father of the Revolutionary patriot. The sturdy sons of the pilgrim fathers, born amid the rocks and hills of old New England, Where the meadow brooks sing of a freedom sweet and wild, or where the blue waters of the Delaware and Susquehanna sweep triumphantly on" to the Atlantic; or be it on the broad plantations of the Old Dominion, in-the dreamy Carolinas, in the pine scented fore*ttu/>f Georgia or in flower-laden pr-icrfMST to them liberty' was! life and nothing Was free that had not freedom. -o them the carol of bird song and the glint of heaven's sunshine through the treetops were their keepers of time- Children of nature and of a new and struggling nation, they pillowed their heads close to the bosom of Mother Earth, drank from her crystal springs, wove their own raiment from the flocks of the hillside and gained their sustenance from what the vallies and forests yielded. The builders of villages and cities where the American savage had pitched his tent; 'the pioneers to the highest type of civilization the world has ever known; the very air they breathed, the deep virgin forests, the swift flowing rivers, the cool shimmering lakes, the murmuring streams, the rugged hillsides and the towering mountains, inspired them with that intense love of home, of country and of liberty, that rather than lose it they"offered their all upon the altar of the nation. "By the golden growing eastern stream of sea; By the sounds of sunrise moving in the mountains; By the forces of the floods and unsealed fountains, Thou that badest man be born bade man be free." And the occasion and the hour brought forth the men as it has ever done. From down by the placid waters of the Potomac, where they seek their home in the sea, came the keen mind, the noble heart and the strong arm of the young Washington. He who unsheathed his sword for the holiest cause that ever fired, a human heart' to action; he who inspired the national breast to thrill witb hope when hope seemed a delusion and a snare; he' who suffered with the suffering at Valley* Forge; he whose noble devotion to country and to duty, and whose years of patient toil were at last wreathed with the laurels of victory at York town; he who spurned a throne and glittering crown just to be a man and an American; he who by his gentleness and his justice unbound the brows of, hate; he of whom it has been said, "Providence left him childless that he might be called the father of our country"—we love and we revere his memory today. O, let the ifiillions of happy people in one grand chorus exclaim: "Praised above men be thou. Whose laurel-laden brow, Made for the morning, droops not ln the night; Praised, and beloved that none Of all thy great things done Flies higher than thy most equal spirits flight. Praised that nor doubt nor hope could bend Earth's loftiest head, found upright to the end." Our own commonwealth of Pennsylvania loves to claim Franklin, the statesman, as her own. From the shades of old Virginia came Jefferson, and Massachusetts, the cradle of American liberty, gave us Adams. They declared those principles of government that have boldly entered every, throne room on the.face of the earth and mado . them to tremble like a reed shaken of the wind. They instituted a new government, .laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them seemed most likely to effect their safety and happiness and that of all posterity. And how well, how splendidly they poured forth their wfs- dom, their strength and their energy, a peace and liberty-loving nation of seventy-six millions of people today pay grateful tribute to their memory, embracing forty-five imperial commonwealths, stretching from ocean to ocean ahd from the land bf snows to the southland that is kissed by the warm breath of the eternal summer. The government founded by the patriot fathers has gone beyond the experimental stage. It has stood the fiercest tests of time and the strongest tnunderbolts of war hurled against lt from without and within have fallen like the snowflakes on the mountain side. Vast armies of its own children have beat upon those walls and they fell not, and the great captain of the houK,' came forth and declared that "the nation had, under God,. a new birth of freedom; that the government of the people, by the people and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." In the hour of peril the sons of the patriots upheld the work of their fathers. And he whom we lately mourn; be whose face was like the sunshine, whose voice was like the music of the winds; he whose domestic life rests like a benediction on every hearth and home under all tbe* stars; he whose wisdom' was the guiding lamp to the. weary feet and toiling hands of the struggling, sweating millions; he whose counsels have made us "a cloud of smoke by day and a pillow of flre by night" among the nations of tbe earth; he who struck the blow for humanity and flve hundred thousand of the flower of American manhood volunteered in a day .to make good the bat tie hymn of the republic: "In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; And as He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free." Him we knew fn the flesh and today he ls a tower' of strength to the weak and a well of water to the famishing and thirsty. We know that the love of liberty and patriotism of the fathers, conceived in the hour of peace and' born amid the lightnings of war was not a dream, was not a mockery, was not a delusion. We know that the faith of the fathers has been kept inviolate and made sacred and holy by the precious blood of the sons, and with a firm faith in the protection and goodness in a Divine Providence, believe it will, be kept for all time. O, let us ever lift our faces up, let us ever turn them to the sunshine and dispel forever the fogs and mists of doubt and fear. The same sweet* stars that twinkled down on the bleeding patriots of Lexington and Brandywine shone down on our sacred dead at Gettysburg and San Juan HIU, and their glory ls for you and for me. The same flag that floated over the victory of Yorktown the mighty hosts of Grant followed through the Wilderness and on to the triumphs of Appomattox; the same flag that waved over the smoke and carnage In Manila bay when the boasted Armada of the nineteenth century WATCHES.
