OSHKOSH, Wis., August 5.—Rioting has been resumed by the strixing wood workers here on account of the sash and door man- ufacturers trying to operate with non-union labor. At the Morgan plant last night a crowd of 1,000 strikers and sympathizers gathered to abuse and maltreat non-union workmen as they left the mill. Chief Weis- brod, with a force of police, succeeded in preserving a semblance of order until dark- set in, when a serious onslaught on the police was made, in which several offi- cers received bruises and cuts, and Chief Weisbrod was brought to his knees by a stone striking him above the heart. Severak ts were fired in the air, and the police finally withdrew. Today the st ers again congregat2d and clubbed an stoned non-union workmen try- to reach the Morgan mill. Thirty po- dispatched to reinforce the ‘hen th» police arrived the crowd set on them with sticks and stones In a vicious end the street was finally cleared at the ex- se of many brok2n heads and a score of arrests, including nine women. The non-union crew finally reached the mill under police protection, and the fac- tory was started up, with a strong force of police to keep th2 streets clear around the plant. The strikers are far from subdued, Yowever, and more trouble is promised. A mob also congregated at the Paine plant today, but no violence was report2d. SS SIXTY YELLOW FEVER PATIENTS. Number So Far Brought From San- tingo to Egmont Key. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. TAMPA, Fla., August 5.—Sixty yellow fe- ver patients were brought from Santiago by the transports which have thus far ar- rived at the quarantine station off Egmont Key. This is the official number given to Gen. Coppinger by the surgeons on board, and sent by him to the Secretary of War. 1 are convalescent, and will be put on board the :ranspert San Marcos and sent to New York tomorrow. : The healti: authorities refused to allow any of the passengers from the transports to pass through the state or land anywhere in southern territory, and it was thought expedient to send them north at onze, a the camp of detention at Egmont Key is already crowded. To keep them on the transports would seriously retard the em- barkation of the Porto Rican expedition. A susp! us death occurred on board the transport Clinto after she had been re- leased from quarantine, and in consequence was sent back immediately, and will spend another five days ‘here. Gen. Coppinger’s expedition will start for Porto Rico Sunday or Monday, if no fever develops on board the transports before tueir time of quarantine Is out. The Yuca- tan is the flagship, and on her Gens, Cop- pinger and Rodgers will sail. The other troops will follow as they are loaded. The Ist Ohio Cavalry, which is now in camp at Lake i, will be one of the regiments to se the expedition, and has already rived orders to draw rations fer the voy- age and twenty-five days after landing. -—— TO A STAMP. Complaint That It Bears Father Mar- 5 auette’s Figure. A number of letters have been received at the Post Office Department complaining OBSECTIO! of one of the Omaha exposition stamps. It is the one bearing the figure of Father Marquette in his canonical robes. The A. P. A. is especially strong in its denuncia- tion of this selection to adorn one of the stamps, and the third assistant postmaster general, who has the immediate charge of stamps, is charged with being responsible “for ‘his outrage upon Americanism.” ‘The selection of designs for the stamps was mad by General Merritt, the third assist- ant posimaster general, after due: cunsid- eration. He thought Father Marquette rep- resented a period in the history of the west and without thinking of his creed recom- mended the design. Postmaster General Gary at the time looked over the designs, and he, teo, thought the Marquette stamp well selected. Neither of these gentlemen is a Catholic, and it is said that the de- sign originated with Editor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee, who is also not a Ro- manist. 2 <—________ LATE ARMY ORDERS.

NEW YORK, August 5.—The United States supply steamer Celtic, Commander Mansfield, arrived today from Guantan- amo, Cuba, The Celtic brings twelve men from the United States fleet off Guantan- amo. Four of these men were sent home for medical treatment, among them Chief Engineer Cowie of the battle ship Indiana, who is suffering from an abscess in the ear. oo Niagara University Burned. BUFFALO, N. Y., August 5.—A special to the News says that fire broke out in the chapel of the Niagara Uniyersity, a Cath- olic institution near Niagara Falls, N. Y., early today. Theré is no possibility of sav- ing the structure since the fire apparatus ts totally inadequate. The loss is $50,000. The fire is attributed to an incendiary. ————_ Emperer William’s Address, BERLIN, August 5.—The official Reich- sarzeiger today says that after yesterday's religious service in the Emperor William Memorial Church, in memory of the late Prince Bismarck, the emperor assembled the imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, and the cabinet ministers in the vestibule and made them a long address. PRO AND CON Some Press Opinions Upon the Terms of Shall the Philippines Be Held or Not ud What Shall Be Done With Them? Extra Session cf the Senate Needed. From the Hartford Post. Now, it is wisdom to have at hand the Senate, so that before the peace commis- stoners separate they may know whether a part of their work must be done over again. The test will come upon the gov- ernment of the Philippines. No one de- sires that we govern the whole group of 4, but there is a difference of opinion as to the scope of our possessions there and as to what is to be done with Aguinaldo. The Senate ought to be in its seat so as to be ready to be consulted as the commis- sioners progress with their task. If: two- thirds are willing to sacrifice the insur- gents’ leader and return all the islands ex- cept Luzon—or all the ports excepting Ma- nila and Subig—to Spain, exacting a guar- antee that the insurgents shall not be mal- treated, why, such a treaty would be prac- ticable. If not, then it would not be. By all means, we hope that an extra session of the Senate will he so timed that the peace treaty in its entirety will not be en- dangered or delayed. Near the Danger Line. From the Milwaukee Journal. Are we not loading near the danger line now, with our race problem unsolved at home, with two or three territories we cannot yet assimilate, with a grand effort on three new Islands before us? Have we not problems enough? It is a far call to the Phillppires and their problems. The Filipinos are certainly no worse off when we leave them; they are better off, and there our duty stops. Keep the Fruits of Victory. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The outlook is that the Philippines will be too heavy a burden for Spain, with no navy to defend them, and every island full of irreconcilable insurgents. That they will be transferred to some European country not distinguished by friendliness to us is more than probable if we permit them to go back to Spain without restric- tions. Europe has lately carved up the coast of China, and to find the Philippines similarly appropriated will be for us a step backward instead of forward. Our proper policy is not to give away or throw away a legitimate victory valiantly won. Duty Must Not Be Shirked. From the Syracuse Herald. What may be this nation’s relations with the Philippines may not be easy to say at this time. It is a question that should be settled on mature consideration. At this stage, and in existing conditions, the only advisable rule is to deal honestly and fairly with those people, and to help them to a deliverance from the tyrant and oppressor. The American duty is the same as towar¢ Cuba and Porto Rico, and there is justice in the demand that it shall not be shirked. A Warning Against Annexation. From the Salt Lake Herald, Fortunately for the future peace of the United States and for the continuity of their best traditions, the administration is averse to the annexation of the Philippines, Admiral Dewey’s dispatch about Aguinaldo will serve the purpose of a warning to the country against Philippine annexation. Misplaced Magnanimity. From the St. Paul Pioncer Press. It is to be hoped that, when explained, it will be found that the President has not been misled by a misplaced magnanimity to a fallen foe into forgetting the highsr obligations which this government owes to humanity and civilization. It would be a curious ending of the war if Gen. Mer- ritt, with the 20,000 troops which have been sent to Manila to gather in the fruits of Dewey's famous victory, and Admiral Dewey himself, with his greatly strength- ened fleet, should be ordered to lower the flag of the United States to that of Spain in the harbor and forts of Manila—to re- Mnquish by far the most important prizes of the war—and return ingloriously home. This is a humiliation which we may be certain will be spared to our brave seamen and soldiers, and to the American people. Have to Take Them Whether or No. From the Buffalo News. Events seem to be shaping so that Uncle Sam will haye to take the Philippines whether or no. “Keep the Whole Shooting Match.” From the Seattle Times. the whole shooting Porto Rico, Philippines and all—and not give up a single one— whether it pleases the German emperor or a few Frenchmen in Paris, or a few old- fashioned republicans and democrats who believe that “territorial acquisition” i violation of the Monroe doctrine, and con- trary to the best interests of the American republic, Just to Show. From the Topeka State Journal, We may decide to keep the Philippines just to show Europe that we can manage them. After all, perhaps Aguinaldo is only play- ing for an appointment as postmaster, at Manila. Not Necessarily a White Elephant. From the Kansas City Times. The Philippines are not necessarily a white elephant, but the administration seems to be trying to transform them into an animal of that kind. Cannot Shirk the Responsibilities. . From the Providence Journal. If the President is waiting to hear from the country on the Philippines question his delay in deciding upon a course of action need not be a long one. ‘There are many complications to be disentangled, perhaps, before a complete policy can be determined upon. A conft either with the natives or with another European power besides Spain is not to be lightly precipitated. Upon some points, however, the mind of the President | and his advisers ought to be perfectly clear. | One is that the people of-the United States have no wish to see the Philippines handed back to Spain or allowed to fall into the lap of Germany or controlled by a semi-civilized native government. Furthermore, most of them believe that this nation cannot shirk the responsibilities which war has brought upon it and be justified in the face of the rest of the world. And they realize also that the golden opportunity now before them of extending American commerce and promoting the influence of Anglo-Saxon civilization is not likely to oceur again. This fact is obvious enough on the Pacific coast, at any rate, whatever some timid persons in the east may think. Opposed to Holding Them. From the Detroit Journal. The best thought of the country is op- posed to the holding of the Philippines. The islands are far away from us. They are peopled by millions of savages and semi- barbarians, to civilize whom would cost us much in money and many years of trials and disappointments. Our sovereignty over them would embroil us in the distracting quarrels of Europe and prove to be an in- terminable source of uneasiness, jeopardiz- ing our tranquillity at home and inviting us to all sorts of trouble abroad. Sense Before Sentiment. From the Cincinnat! Times-Star. All that the Philippines require is devel- opment and introduction to the commercial world. Spain fatled to develop or introduce in the three hundred and seventy-seven would be weak upon a colonial at the republic. ¥ —- ‘We Must Hold Them. From the Kansas City Star. The requiremenis of humanity, the es- tablished rules of warfare, the simple busi- ness principle (hat fhe conqueror should be paid for the cost and eae we war, the position of thj ntry a factor in the politics of ie onan jemand that the Philippines shall _be held by the United States and made a part of the national do- main. ‘* A We Can, u Anybody Can. From the Jacksonville-Times-Union and Citizen. If we cannot “‘enforee peace” in the Philippines. what can Spain do? Does Eu- rope want chronic trouble so she can inter- fere and dlvide the, spolls? MeKinley’s Plan Right. From the Pittsburg-News: There will be plenty of complaints against the President: whatever terms of peace he proposes or agrees to, and there will no doubt be conStderable opposition in the Senate to the confirmation of the treaty when completed, however favorable or just it may be. But it is-safe to say that the fault-finders will not be among the con- servative citizens whese families are repre- sented in the front. That class of people are willing to trust William McKinley in the settlement of'the trouble as they wére to accept his judgment in the conduct of the war. ¢ nd, besides, by entering Bury Their Faces in Their Hands. From the New York Journal of Commerce. Shall we emancipate a couple of million subjects of Spain in the West Indies and restore eight millions in the Philippines to Spain after we have broken hér power over them? Shall we offer no word of protest and make no gesture of menace while the predatory powers of Europe divide among themselves China, Oceanica and Africa, cutting off a trade we already possess? ‘The commercial interests of this country have been revolutionized in the past few years, and where will the factories of Massachu- setts be if our foreign policy is to be con- trolled by statesmen and newspapers that bury their faces in their hands to shut out the specter of an imaginary: imperial- ism? And where will the honor of Amer- ica be if we are afraid to govern what we were not afraid to conquer? The Nightmare of Rebellion. From the Chicago Journal. The activity of Aguinaldo in the role of the man perpetually “agin the govern- ment” is being cited as an additional rea- son why we should surrender the Philip- pines. It is pointed out that if we annex them we are going to annex perennial re- belion. Such fears are groundless. Aguinaldo {s a factor that need trouble no one except the incompetent Spaniards. If that is the best reason for keeping out of the Philippines the others do not com- pel much respect. Keep Them. . From the Chicago Journal. The voice of reason and the voice of con- science say: Keep the islands. Keep all the islands. Cannot Shirk Responsibility. From the Worcester Gazette. In considering our duty and opportunity toward the Philippines there should be no timidity or selfish desire to avoid responsi- bility, It may not be wise to hold them, but the question should be decided on broader lines than the mere question as to wh2ther they will cause,as,amnoyance, or whether it would not be easier to dump them on some one else. 5; G Of ea A Wing, Decision. From the Chicago ‘News.

From the Sioux Clty (lowa) Tribune. ae Deferring the discussion - regarding -the |} future of the Philippines is only ‘another’ way for McKinley to advise the werld that he doesn’t want the islands, but he can- not let go. A é The Moral Duty’ of the Nation, From the Philadelphia’ Press, Nearly every paper from which extracts have heen printed recpgnizes the moral duty of the nation to see that the Philip- pines have good. government, open trade and peotection from Spanish tyranny. Whether Spain keeps what she has still got or the United States takes the islands, the moral duty-ef thfS ‘country to their inhabitants must, be-met-and discharged. Hauling Down the American Flag. From the Syracuse Herald. An unpardonable offense in the eyes of the people was the hauling down of the American flag at Honolulu. The with- drawal of the flag from the Philippines would rank with that offense, as the peo- ple are coming to look at it. The Fever-Soaked Philippines. Frpm the Springfield Iepubitcan, More room for the people of the United States? All the fever-soaked earth of the Philippines is not equal in value and_health and hope to the unplowed acreage in ten of our states. Let us keep an undefiled dem- ocracy, and live and govern in “God's country.” Shall We Turn the Philippines Over to Weylerf ° Frem the Chieago Journal Clemency to Spain Philippines. Mercy to some Weyler, with his European Apaches, goes to the Spanish East Indies to wreck a savage vengeance on the helpless and carry outrage and robbery and pestilence and famine through the islands, as one Weyler did in Cuba. Mercy to those who need it. will not show merc is cruelty to the nin means that Since Spain this country must. The Philippines of Expecial Import- ance to the West. From the Walla Walla (Wash.) Union, ‘The pbssession of the Philippines and convenient coaling stations with the now annexed Hawaii would be invaluable in the control of the United States as a means to extend American ceiviligation and enter- prise, and it,is of especial importance to the western: stafgs, {bat the Philippines or the principal islands of the group shall be retained permangptly;; Cannot Trust ‘Them Either to Spain of, Asajnaldo.

From the Omaba Bee, President McKinley is understood not to favor the permanent retention of the Philipines, but he desires to be guided in the matter by public opinion. there cannot be a reasonable doubt that the great majority of the intelligent people of the United States are opposed to our héld- ing the Philippines and assuming the task of governing those people. It may be de- sirable to have a naval and coaling station in the islands, but beyond this it would pot be wise policy for this country to go. Expansion is Not Growth.

It will be a two-handed game be- tween Spain and the United States. Inevitable Imperialism. From the Kansas City Star. The policy of imperialism for the United States is an inevitable as the movement of the planets. It arises from causes which ecarnot Le restrained or repressed, and it invelves as one of its logical processes the ceupation of the Philippines. Firmness and Shrewdness, From the Boston Journal. The administration has shown great shrewdness and firmness in arranging the details of its ultimatum. Spain must con- Sent to surrender her entire sovereignty in the western hemisphere and leave the fate of her eastern domain to our arbitrament. For that is what the clause relative to the Philippines really means. Should Be Under Our Protection. Fronr the Boston Traveler, The Philippines should be under our im- mediate protection. It is a duty we owe ourselves as well as them. Sympathy for the Spanish. From the Boston Transcript. ‘The experiences of our milita forces and suthorities in Cuba and Porto Rico as regards the respective merits of Spanish and insurgents are likely to be repeated in the Philippines, if they have not already been repeated, as the news today seems to indicate. We shall not only need the as- sistance and good will of the. Spanish against the ouset of savagery that would dissolve society at once, but the more we see of the savagery that the Spanish rule has held in leash, the more sympathy we have for the Spanish. Far apart in the Progress of centuries as our institutions are from Spain’s, they are close together as compared with the barbarism of the stone age, to which the revolutionists in Cuba and in the Philippines would plunge those unhappy islands. r é No Chance of Acceptance. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. No peace treaty has any chance of ac- ceptance by the people of the United States except one which puts and keeps every is- land in the Philippine group under the American flag. - From the Chicago Tribune. The United States government owes it to its people and it owes it to the world to take these islands from Spain, which has misgoverned them, and govern them itself. Any other settlement will be a shirking of plain duty and an exhibition of national weakness and cowardice. If we are not going to hold the Philippines Dewey and Merritt should not have been sent there, and we should have saved ourselves the immense cost of conquering lands which we did not intend to keep. Hold on or Let Go. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. If we are to meet our manifest responsi- bilities and hold on, why not say so and win the support of the Philippine insur- genis? If we are to shut our eyes to na- tional obligations and let go, why not say so and get our troops and our ships out of oriental waters before the inevitable baptism of blood? Exposed Cruelty. From the Birmingham Age Herald. The American porticn of the commission will be expected to see that ten millions of people In the Philippines are not again ex- posed to the rapacity and cruelty of un- checked Spanish ru'e. This should be done in the world’s tnterest—in the name of good government, of hvmanity. of civilization. Admiral Dewey and General Merritt are 10 hold the Philippines until the commission reaches an agreement, and we need com- ‘ioters who will see that no agreement is reached which dees not guarantee to the pecple of the Philippines the blessings of g00d government. Men like John T. Mor- gan and Richard Oley are needed for such a task. Never Again to Spanish Faith in McKinley. From the Albany Journal. The settlement of the Philippine question will require most delicate handling, but happily for the people of the United States there is a mind in Washington capable of performing the work. * Claims of the Philippines. From the Denver Times. Under the circurstances the Pailippinos haVe quite as strong, if not stronger, claim upon the consideration of the American people as had the insurgents in whose be- half the war was inaugurated. Developments in the struggle with Spain have created new obligations which the ad- ministration at Washington cannot in ju: tice ignore. And the claims of the Philip- pinos are among the strongest of them. To abandon these people to their fate now would be a crime against humenty. The United States can afford to have n0 suc charge laid at its door. Our Moral Obligations. From the Minneapolis Times. Wars in modern times are kindled by commercial jealoucies, and cur growth Ss made of us a commercial power which, ever increasing, comes more and more into the conflict with competing nations. Mo- mentous consequences have grown out of this wer, and ever. to hold what we have already we must carry forward our posi- tions continually, extending and strength- ening our power. That is not only the road to peace and greatress, it is in the line of our moral obligetions to civilization and to the oppressed of all lands. If President McKiniey’s policy of settlement shall be adopted we shall fall short of the discharge of that obligation, and shamefully stultify curselves. Will Approve the Position of McKin- ley. From the Chicago Times-Herald. The pecple will approve the position of President McKinley on the terms as pro- posed. SS Must Answer to Old Charge. Walter S. Carroli, colored, was arrested today by Detectives Baur and Muller and locked up on a charge of robbing the house of Eugene F. Arnold, No. 221 D strect southeast. The robbery was committed in September, 1893. Soon after the robbery Detective Lacy recovered some of the prop- erty siolen, which included valuable table linen, an onyx clock, wine glasses and oth- er articles, The defendant, Carroll, was in- dicted and every effort was made to appre- end him, but he left the city, and returned only a short while ago. He had changed so much during his absence of five years that some of his most intimate fricnds failed to recognize him. Tocay the detectives found him working in the kitchen of a dary junch room. He was very much surprised when arrested, but had nothing to say about the, charge against him. ° ee : Benefit to the Crops. The recent rains were much needed local- ly, and wil! be no docbt.of benefit. Gener- ally speaking, the conditions in the country east of the Mississippi, according to the re- ports of the weather bureau, are very much improved. In large areas of the south the rainfall has been so excessive as to injure cotton. In the principal corn producing states the situation has been made much better by the moist weather. The spring wheai harvest has continued under gener- ally favorable conditions in the southern and central portions of the spring wheat belt. ——— Overcome by Heat. An elderly colored man, named Henry Evans, was overcome by the heat near 8d and D streets abcut noon today. The police patrol wagon was summoned and the sick man was taken to the Emergency Hospital. ‘ ee Orders Chickamauga. Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Mili- tary Park, Tenn., August 5.—The pres2nt indications are that the seven regiments at Camp Thomas included in General Wade’s provisional expedition will leave early next week, probably Mcnday or Tuesday. The only definite order so far issued is to the signal corps, under Colonel Squiers, which is directed to ee Camp Thomas for New- port News early tomorrow morning. The corps will accompany General Wade to | served. THE CHINESE SITUATION Open Conflict Between England and Russia Not Far Distant. Russian Aggressiveness Due to Salis- bury’s Backboneless Policy—The " Princess’ Mi LONDON, August 5.—There is grec’ un- easiness on all sides here, in view of the Chinese situation, which is regarded as bringing an open conflict between Great Britain and Russia within measurable dis- tance, and it is universally felt that the Marquis of Salisbury’s weakness in yielding to Russian aggressiveness is re- sponsible for the dangerous complication, which can only be overcome by the prompt and most firm intimation that Russia's open opposition to British commercial con- cessions must cease. Mg In this connection the story is current that the Prific of Wales’ hurried depart- ure from England was in response to a dis- patch from her sister, the Dowager Em- press of Russia, bearing upon the Anglo- Russian relations. It is well known that the dowager em- press is strenuously working to conclude a definite understanding regarding Anglo- Russian interests in the far east, and it is said great importance attaches to the meet- ing of the sisters at Copenhagen.

Three young women, wearing costumes of red, white and blue, and a male com- Ten Dollars panion, who wore an attractive red th were tried before Judge Taylor today as alleged vagrant They were convicted and fined $10, with the privilege of serving thirty days each in the workhouse. Po- licemen Brady and Newkirk made the complaint against the quartet. Se id they were out for what he called a “big evening,” and they had it, although it did not last long. The names given by the females were Minnie Daly, Bessie Harris and Trilby Wilkinson. Policeman Brady told of the ecnduct of the quartet, and added: “I saw the blonde locked arms with a colored man two nights before.” Attorney Peyton, after hearing what Po- liceman Ccrve had to say, argued that the girl had a constitutional right to walk with a colored man, and this statement he knew wculd not influence the court. He caused a laughter by saying that his clients were only boozing around the same as some do: tors and lawyers frequently Go. It was his idea that they should be acquitted, but the court thought otherwise and held them. +> THE COURTS. Eguity Court No. 1—Justice Cole. Muehleisen agt.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS anes es Special Dispa’ ch to The ning Star. NEW YORK, August Lower London price due to profit taking and an effort to counteract the outward tendency of gold, bad a sympathetic influence on local prices during the opening hour this morning. The industrial list was depressed by traders in the hope of forcing general liquidation, but in this direction success was extremely lim- ited as well as transitory, The bulk of the day’s news was encourag- ing, cable advices indicating early settlement of the growing out of the present war. The suc- cessful outcome of military diplomacy in the Philippines was especially gratifying. The one adverse factor sought to be estab- lished was the possible contagion incident to the removal of troops from Cuba, but the argument did not prevail for any con- siderable period. American Sugar and the Rubber issues were offered down as low as possible dur- ing the early trading, and for a time the general market reflected this movement. Subsequently the superior buying of the railroad issues attracted attention and dis- couraged further selling by the profes- sional element. The demand for the Granger issues came from strong, con- servative sources, and reflected marked contidence in the future earnings of these shares. Burlington attracted the bulk of the initial inquiry,’and advanced easily be- yond its best record of late years. The earnings of the road reflect an ability to pay 6 per cent on the stock, and the di- rectors have nothing but the question of policy to consider in fixing the rate next month. Rock Island was taken up rather aggressively by its friends in consequence of a similar encouraging business outlook. probai territorial dispute The roads which have established records for dividends are very deservedly attract- ing a considerable demand Among the lower priced is: > OF prospective dividends there was ctivity. The Northern Pa- cific issues were in good demand up to top prices and have lost nothing by the recent percod of waiting. Brooklyn Rapid Tran- sit sold somewhat too freely on the bridge jeni, regained its loss under a demand from both long and short account. There is much discussion in some quar- ters as to the wisdom of buying at the present level, and while the discussion pro- ceeds the large interests continue their ac- cumulations at advancing prices summer's market proved to have bc wasted opportunity to those who w for fractional declines. Reactions are be expected from time to time money markets are daily adding 1 to more extensive stock and bond oper ed with mod- tions.
