Suggested Modus Vivendi Was Rejected by the Hisli Commission. Washington, V. C.

Mr. Tower also called to say good-bye to the officials of the department, as he ha3 gone to Newport, "v-lch la the placo of the British Embassy during the summer. It is pointed out here that there appears to be a misunderstanding in some quarters as to the history of the pending proposition relative to a free port on the Lynn Canal under the United States sovereignty. The Canadian Government never accepted v that proposition as the basis or even a temporary arrangement. They did demand the cession outright of such port, while the United States offered lo lease to Canada a port for a nontinal concideratlon, so as to retain sovereignty, an arrangement that would have been temporary in character and well adapted to serve as a inodus. Both propositions were considered by.the Joint High Commission la3t winter, and both were rejected. T.te latter Is now again brought forward, but with what success cannot yet be foretold.

Cleveland. Ohio (Special-).?The disor- a d?rs arising out of the strike of the street 1 railway employes in tills city became so J pronounced tliat it was decided by Mayor e Farley and Director of Police Barret to call r out troops to maintain order. The naVal v ie3erves, abort one hundred strong, the Q Fifth Regiment, Ohio National Guard, and Troop A, First Ohio Cavalry, the famous c troop whioh escorted President McKlnley at the inauguration, were therefore called (, to arms. In addition to the 500 soldiers? f< 800 policemen are on duty. * The Press Committee of the strikers has issued an appeal to the public, which, 0 among other things, contains the following: hflllflfla fhuf trim* pan hrt unnli&d in ti no ? ? r many Instances, and that it is absolutely F essential in the present case. The Govern- d rnent protects life and property, but does 8 not regard labor in any light whatever. When great aggregations of capital defy " law and wipe out competition, thereby 0 diminishing the demand for labor, they S must be met by an element strong enough e to render their organization futile." The first clash of the mobs with the mill- " lary occurred at the Wilson avenue barns J of the street railway company. A big crowd 1 assembled an<l began to jeer the soldiers, k This continued for some time, when stone throwing began. That was followed by a ^ command to the troops to charge, and they went at the mob in earnest.

There is no r clue to the identity of the person who o placed the explosive on the track. b There was a serious disturbance on the e Broadway line, at the corner of Petrie p street, where a mob of three thousand ns- ii sernbled and obstructed the trucks. Fin- a ally a car came along having on board Ser- '1 geant Barrows and a private of militia and Detective Kelso. The officer ordered the mob to disperse, when the motorman attempted to remove ... the obstruction from the track, but the rioters showed fight. Then Sergeant Burrows and the one soldier, with Axed bayonets, faced the mob and attempted to clear the way. There was a sharp fight for a few minutes, in which a perfect Bhower of stones fell about the detective C and the soldiers, smashing the car win- |. dows. No one was seriously hurt, and |? after arresting two of the rioters and Dlac- a lng them on the car it was returned to the f< barns. The police afterward charged the 9I mob, making several arrests. ? The State Board of Arbitration took important action toward settling the strike. e.

(United States Ambassador to Germany.) prehenslve arbitration scheme, as proved by the constant petitions and resolutions of large meetings held In all parts of Amer. A lea since the conference has been sitting, sam: "I believe a vast majority of our peopU will welcome our arbitration treaty and see in it a serviceable plaa from the outset and a germ from which a more complete system will be evolved by future conferences. As time progresses, without doubt, teferences to the tribunal will become increasingly natural and normal, and thus we may hope to have every advantage claimed for obligatory arbitration without * its overwhelming disadvantages. But it could hardly be ezpeoted that we should be willing to accept the requirement to sweep away at once, here and now, the policy of Monroeism. "If any modiflcatlon is ever made of tli^t policy it must be made by the United States, after it has had the fullest opportunity to study the subject in all its bearings. Suoh a change cannot be made here by lmpllca ttons in a treaty maae distinctly tor another purpose, and it Is important that there should be no doubt on this point." Mr. White then referred to the "deep, almost religious conviction in the hearts of the AmericaD people against any foreign entanglement." He added, however, that the declaration of Monroeism would leave the United States policy exactly what it 'had been heretofore, and would not In the slightest degree hamper the operation of the arbitration plan. On the contrary, the United States would fully and faithfully co-operate in the judicial settlement of international difficulties by means of tbe agency and machinery provided in the Convention, i The past history of the United States I abundantly shows, declared Mr, White, that it bad never manifested the slightest desire to interfere with or hamper aroitration proceeding.?.
