Winnipeg, Man., April 7.A settle
ment of the street railway strike is be
lieved to be in sight, but no positive
assurances have yet been given.
The great hope of yesterday was that
an understanding would be arrived at
in view of the arrival on Monday next
of Prince Arthur of Connaught, in or-,
der that a generally peaceful front
might be presented to the young scion
of the royal house. Such, of course
may be the ease, but there must be some
speedy developments.
The entire proceedings are so .much in
the nature of a star chamber affair, thaij
it 's extremely difficult to get any^
thing approaching reliable information.
The manager of the street railway is
stoiclike in all his dealings,' and he
ministers are equally reticent.
I was stated last night that he mat
ter of wages was the only point upon
which there was now any disagreement.
The car service was suspended shortly
before dusk last night, and there were
no scones of violence reported.
Toronto, April 7.A dispatch from
Winnipeg says: The car strike may be
settled today and that the clerical com
mittee has wired President MacKenz ie
here for sanction of an increase of
wages. MacKenzie denies having re
ceived a wire from the committee and
will give nothing out. Things so far
as the directors are concerned are at a
standstill and nothing will be done be
fore Monday.
LEAPS TO DEATH
IN PORTLAND FIRE
Railroad Agent Killed in Panic
Following Blaze in Large
Office Building.
Portland, Ore., April 7.Fire de
stroyed the eighth, the top story of
the Chamber of Commerce building
yesterday, and caused he death of
Homer H. Hallock, right-of-way age nt
of the Willemet Traction company. Mr,
Hallock, who was one of the best-known
railroad men in he northwest, despite
the efforts of several men to restrain
him, jumped down the lightwell on to
the roof of the central court and was
instantly killed.
The property loss is estimated at
$100,000. partly insured.
The fire broke out in the parlor of the
Commercial club. It is said that a
lighted match, thrown into some tap
estry, was responsible for the confla
gration, which spread rapidly and
caused a panic among the 1,500 em
ployees of the 800 offices in the build
ing. The upper works of the elevators
were burned almost before the firebells
stopped ringing, and panic-stricken,
people cpngested the stairs and fire
escapes. i
About fifteen men and women crept
thru'the windows to the wide cornices,
from which, they were rescued by fire
men.
Tom Richardson, secretary of the
club and whose office was in the tower
of the building, was cut off by the
flames and forced to take to the roof.
When the firemen reached him he was
in a state of collapse.

the operators might entertain the offer
in some other form.

I believe in doing away with the

lic officials on a fair salaried basis,
with a stricter accountability for such
officials in their public affairs. The
state board of control should be en

Pite all th danger of
i determination to clean up the depart-
$50 bills as* souvenirs. Large gifts scandal to his administration which
made the investigation of the postoffice
frauds so successful and so free from
the taint of partiality or undue friend
liness for people high in office.
N.aturally enough, the president will
contrast his own executive action with
the remarkable performances of the
recent tribe of magazine authors who
have made such sweeping charges of
graft, but have not developed a single
bit of evidence on which the authori
ties could proceed. In his Memorial
Day speech, therefore, the president
will lay stress on the fact that these
vague charges, this indiscriminate
throwing of mud, does not tend to les
sen public dishonesty nor to punish it.
On the contrary, he will insist th at
instead of rendering a service to the
republic the writers of this class have
done great harm to the country, so
great that they are liable to prosecu
tion for treason and ought to be com
pelled either to stop their throwing
of mud or "make good" by producing
the evidence, if any exists, on which
they have assumed to write their
articles.
Honest Fall with Thieves.
If four men are* honest and one man
is a thief, there could be nothing done
which would be more completely in the
interests of the thief than to charge
that all five of the men were thieves.
It would, of course, render it impossi
ble to distinguish between them, and
when one of the honest men was
proved to be honest, it would be a fair
inference that the thief was honest, too.
It is an argument like this that the
president will apply in his Memorial
day speech to convince the country that
the magazine and newspaper writers
who make wholesale charges of graft
against the senate, or the house, or the
army, or the navy, or the administra
tion of the government generally,
hamper the ends of justice and of hon
esty, just so long as they fail to pro
duce satisfactory evidence.
Furthermore, the president will insist
of his own personal knowledge that the
great mass of American public men, es
pecially in the highw ranks, are honest.
This fact, he believes, should be ex
ploited by the graft authors at the
same time they draw their inference as
to the dishonesty of individuals.
It is the attack on the classes, after
all, which has incensed the president,
and he takes strong ground on this sub
ject and will say in his speech that
in his opinion the throwing of mud at
public officials without proper proof is
degrading to the community and tends
to lower the ideals of public men be
cause if they find they are accused of
dishonesty, no matter what they do.
they will not have the same motive for
living up to the best ideals.
May Challenge Proof.
It is more than likely that President
Roosevelt wiJl,, challenge the graft
writers and taragazine Veformets to pro
duee-the evidence to justify any state
ments they have recently made.
will promise them that' if they will
give him the necessary proof he will
see the persons charged with graft
"wear stripes,," and he used "that ex
pression in a recent conversation on
this subject.
If the president were addicted to the
use of a sporting slang he might natu
rally say to this recent school of so
ciological writers, "Put up or shut
up," and that is what he will say in
effect in his, Norfolk speech. He' will
then promise to use all the power of
his great office to send to the peni
Jtentiary any man, no matter how high
'may be his political station, who can
be convicted of dishonesty in public
or of using his position for unworthy
ends, or of being influenced by motives
which, would render him liable to crim
inal prosecution.
Having made this open defiance to the
"men writh the muck rakes," he presi
dent undoubtedly will go on and insist
that the public no longer shall patronize
magazines or newspapers which indulge
in wholesale mudslinging and attack
the character of whole classes of public
men merely by innuendo or by volleys
of abuse.
A Distinct Departure.
His speech will be a distinct depart
ure in the way of public addresses. It
will be in no sense a defense of his
wn administration, because no one has
attacked that, and the president's per
sonal activity in forcing rich and in
fluential officials out of their places and
into the penitentiary will (rive him the
right to insist that the campaign of vili
fication of public men shall either cease
at once or shall be immediatelv followed
by a production of sufficient proof to
secure the trial and conviction of ac
cused persons.
Failfng that, the president will ask
the American public to join with him in
his appreciation of the average honesty
of the Amerean citizen, whether he be
in or out of public office.
The men who have been writing the
kind of magazine articles which the
president asserts have disgusted him.
and which have caused the most criti
cism in Washington because of their
profusion of attack and dearth of evi
dence are Upton Sinclair, David Grah

Manalin. My bowels are also in good
condition."

The rush of spring jobbing is now about over,
but improved retail demand has already evoked
some re-order business, and encouraging reports
as to enlarged orders for fall delivery present
themselves. All kinds of light summer wear
goods are active- and strong ln price. Dry
goods, millinery, shoes, clothing and farm im

In wholesale lines the-demand for lumber, bard
ware, .paints, glass and other materials bears
witness to the present record sate of building.
The-beneficial effects of the heavy snowfall
toward the close of winter, followed by copious
rains, are now visible in the very high wheat
conditions reported thruout the country. On
the Pacific coast and ln Texas and the south
west moisure is abundant, and the drop as a
whole compares favorably with the banner year,

"I must drop you a line to let you know
that I am well now and cured with your
medicine. .1 must thank you for the ad
vice you gave me.
"The medicine is something wonderful.
I cannot praise it enough for the good it
has done for me and I hope many others
will be freed from their suffering.
"I have advised others who are suffer
ing as I did to consult you and many are
taking my advice. If e\er I need medi
cine again, I know that Peruna will help
me."
Revised Formula.
"For a number of years requests nave
come to me from a multitude of grateful
friends, urging that Peruna be given a
slight laxative quality I have been ex
perimenting with a laxative addition for
quite a length of time, and now feel grati
fied to announce to the friends of Pe-n

can only enhance, its well-known bene
ficial character.
