London, Sept. 3.—It is believed here that the assassination of the Persian premier and minister of the interior, Mirza Ali Asghar Khan, who was shot and instently killed as he was leaving the national council at Te- heran Aug. 31, was planned by the secret societies which have their headquarters at Baku and whose mem- bers, numbering about 50,000, have bound themselves to uphold the con- stitution.

The event was notable owing to the presence of a large - ber of forelgn delegations nlng‘s guests of the emperor. The special military representatives of the United States, Great Britaln, Japan, Persia and Abyssinia formed a prominent group among the members of the bril- lantly uniformed staff surrounding the saluting point, The emperor dis- played remarkable satisfaction at the’| bearing of the troops before the for- elgn officers. -After leading the march past his majesty chatted good na- turedly with ‘his military guests. Crown Prince Frederick Willlam, who led a.regiment of cuirassiers, was loudly cheered. The weather was splendid and the review attracted a majority of the diplomatic corps to the ground, while a large assembly of American visitors gathered at the grandstand and hundreds of people lined the streets to witness the em- peror’s passage from the castle to the Templehof fleld and his review. The American officers, headed by Brig- adier General Edgerly, who were pre- sented to the emperor on the review- ing fleld, were his guests later at a dinner given in the castle, at which all the other foreign officers and many officers of high rank belonging to the German army were present. APPEALS TO SOCIALISTS. 8peech of Emperor Willlam Causes Much Comment. Berlin, Sept. 3—It has transpired .that Emperor Willlam, in the course of his visit to the Muenster museum, made a most striking speech, which 13 regarded as being a direct appeal to the socialists to work together with the other classes of the popula- tion for the good of the Fatherland. After assuring his audience of his in- terest in the welfare of whatever oreed or standing his majesty sald: “I inherited from my grandfather a mission to care for the working peo- ple and would like to see 'a concilia- tory spirit extend all over the empire. To whoever is ready to work with me towards this end I am prepared to glve my hand. “During my long relgn of twenty years I have often had to endure hu- miliations, inflicted intentlonally or tnintentionally by others. When I have felt anger overcoming me I have asked myself what was the means of suppressing it. The only way I have found was of saying to myself ‘they are all men, as I am, and although they humiliate me they have souls lluminated by heaven, whither we all shall return, and in their souls there is a portion of the Creator.” Whoever thinks thus will always judge his fel- low men charitably.” SIR THOMAS DISAPPEARS. Believed Lipton Is on His Way to the United States. New York, Sept. 3.—The mystery attending the movements of Sir Thomas /Lipton and party on board the steam yacht Erin, says a dispatch from Dublin, is a toplc of discussibn among yachtsmen here. The Erin re- mained at Kingstown from Sunday last till Thursday, when at midnight she steamed northward, supposedly for Dublin. She has not arrived at Dublin and the belief now is that she has sailed for New York. It is the intention of Sir Thomas to challenge at the eleventh hour for the America’s cup. His yachting friends have been trying to dissuade him from doing this, but he has unbounded faith that he will succeed this time and is making an expensive and determined effort. It is suggested that Shamrock IV. be christened Four Leaved Shamrock, which is Ireland’s emblem of good Tuck. L it KILLED BY A BURGLAR. Prominent Coal Operator Shot Down i at Cleveland.

BUILTY OF DISCRIMINATION President of Federation of Labor Ac- cuses Courts of Depriving the Work- Ingman of His Constitutional Guar- antee of Equality. X Norfolk, Va., Sept. 3.—Samuel Gom- pers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, in his Labor day address at the Jamestown exposition, made a strong protest against “the discrimination of the courts against the laboring men of our country, which deprives theém of their constitu- tional guarantee of equality before the law,” as he termed it. “The injunctions as issued against workmen are never used or issued rgalnst any other citizens of our coun- iry,” declared Mr. Gompers. Continu- ing, the said: “It is an attempt to deprive citizens of our country, when these citizens are workmen, of the right of trial by Jury. It is an effort to fasten an offense against them when they are innocent of any wrongdoing. It is an indirect assertion of a property right in men when these men are workmen engaged in a lawful effort to protect or advance their lawful rights and in- terests. The injunctions as issued in trade disputes are to make outlaws of men when they are not even charged with doing things in violation of law, state or national. The writ of In- Junction is in itself & beneficent writ for the protection of property rights, but it never was intended and never should be applied to deprive men of thelr personal rights or the rights of man’s ownership of himself. Labor asks no immunity for any man, work- man or others, who may be guilty of unlawful or criminal conduct. But we do insist that when a workman is charged with a crime he shall be tried by the same process of law as every other citizen. “So far as I am concerned let me say that never have I nor will I vio- late a law. I desire it to be clearly understood that when any court un- dertakes, without warrant or law, by the injunction process to deprive me of my personal rights and my per- sonal liberty guaranteed by the Con- stitution I shall have no hesitancy in asserting and exercising these rights. And it may not be amiss to sound a word of warning and advice to such of the rampant, vindictive and greedy employers who seek to rob the work- ing people of our country of their lawful and constitutional rights by the unwarranted injunction process. The full power of labor has never yet been exercised in defense of its rights; it 1s not wise to compel its exercise.” Haywood Principal Speaker. Omaha, Sept. 3.—Ten thousand members of union labor in Omaha were represented in the greatest La- bor day parade which ever marched through the streets of this city. The procession, which was over a mile long, passed through the down town: thoroughfares early in the day and marched to Syndicate park for an aft- ernoon picnic at which W. D. Hay- wood of the Western Federation of Miners was the principal speaker. March in Drizzling Rain. New York, Sept. 3.—A drizzling raln which began to fall early in the morning and continued without cessa- tion during the forenoon was not per- mitted entirely to mar New York's celebration of Labor day. Despite the soaking rain fully 25,000 marched and the rubber clad, umbrella topped pro- cesslons proceeded over the lines of march lald out for them through streets sparsely lined with drenched spectators. Pastors Barred From Parade. La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 8—Two thousand men, representing twenty- eight labor organizations, took part in the Labor day parade. The Pastors’ union, which last year was a notable figure in the parade, wag, expelled from the trades and labor council last week and was not allowed to partici- pate in the labor parade this year.
