R LESSONS OF TUE PRESENT WAR, ip ¥ards Should Be Prepared to Promptly | Repaie Vessels, WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—One valuable Jesson which officials of the Navy department think has been taught by the great naval battle between the Japanese and Chinese fleets at the mouth of the Yalu river is the necessity of maintaining navy yard Bhops and store rooms In read nstant service. According to the reports, the flects engaged in the battle sustained great damage. True the Chinese lost muny vessels entirely, but they still had a formid- #ble force aflcat, while scarcely a vessel of the Japanese fleet escavcd without severe damage, mainly from the murderous fire of Ahe machine guns. At the conclusion of the flght each side withdrew to their nearest respective dock yards for repairs. Upon the ‘eMcient equipm nt and management of thes doek yards very much depends in just such a «case as the present. Each fleet s well nigh disabled for further operations. If the Clinese yards, which are notoriously ill equipped and mismanaged, are unable to com- plete the repair of their fleet in six weeks which s about the time allowed her by | nuval experts, while the Japanese put their Vessels in shape for service in two weeks, as they count on doing, they will be masters of the Yellow sea and can inflict enor: damage on China, landing troops fro “ports at the very door of Pekin, the capital, and ravaging the coast. All of 3 demonstrates the great value of good “Naturally this has turned the attention of ‘maval officers to a consideration of our own ‘resources in that line, and there is seen to he a pressing nced for a radical reform in . the system at some points.

WHEN TIME IS LIMITED. It has been urged that the navy could have “yecourse to private ship buflding firms for Yepalrs and construction work in time of meed. But on the other hand these estab- lishments may be crowded with priva =" onlers, necessitating their absolute confisca- L tlon by the government in order to control * thelr works, and besides tlere are only a . few private plants able to undertake the heavy work of overhauling one of our great battle ships. They cannot be provided in an Siemergency, ns was done in our civil war, for the complex and expensive plant needed . for modorn naval works requires years in- ~ slead of days in its construction.

NDON, Oct. 1.—A cable dispatch from Che Foo to the Pall Mall Gazette this after- neon says that Japanese cruisers are sighted daily off that port. It is added that the na- ture of their operations are unkmown. But, coupled with the fact that it has already been reported that the Japanese have effected a landing to the northward of Che Foo, these movements are regarded as significant and as tending to confirm the story of the Jap- anese landing.

Lou's Merchants Exchange,s Pays a High C Stability of the City the Biz Uridge—Tatked to 50,000 Youngsters at the Fair Grounds. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.—While Senator Vest was opening the democratic campaign in Missouri at Kansas City tonight, Governor McKinley, facing a vociferous crowd in a large hall here, made the opening address of the republican campaign. It was the third state campaign which he has opened within a week. Hon. Chauncey I. Fille: chairman of the republican state committee, ex-Con- gressman Niedringhaus, nd a committee of reception met Governor McKiniey at the de- pot and escorted him to the Planter's botel, where he held a public reception. ‘ihe gov- ernor paid a visit to the Merchants' Ex- hange. Mr. W. G. Boyd, president of the exchange, introduced his guest in a fitting speech, Governor McKinley said “Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Merchants Exchange: I count it a very great honor to be presented to the Mer- chants exchange of the eity of St. Louis, composed as it is of representative business men of this strong and progressive city. I bring to you the good will of the state Onlo, assuming that whatever d (ferences we may have, whatever differences you may have, you are all for the city of St. Louis applause) and for the state of Missouri. What we want in this country, no matter to what political party we may belong, is business prosperity (applause), and whatever will bring that about we mean to have. (Applause.) This country Is too g-eat, iis resources 100 mighty, to permit of anything permanently standing in the way of progress and prosperity, and wha stands in the way must get out of the way (applause); for whatever clze we may be, Oh or Missourians, we are all ol us for our country, first, last and all the time « lause.) 1 congratulate the citi- zens ¢f St. Louis upon their :plend d con servatism in business, We have gone through in the last eightecn months a dread- ful panic and yet the business men of this city, resting ax they did upon conservative buliness integrity, survived that panic, and, a.

It was a remarkable history to make, and 1 cengratulate you vpon It vernor McKinley next-was taken to the grounds, where Childran's day was be ng brated. Scme 50,000 youngsters were on he grounds and they all cheered lustily for “McKinley.” Then came a visit to the ex- position, where, in response to a storm of cheers and demands for a speech, the gov- cinor spoke for a few minutes, TALKS POLITICS AT NIGHT. The immense crowd in the Suburban hall tonight overflowed the large build ng. ®x- Secretary of the Interior Noble was one of thoso on the stage. Hon. Chauncey 1. Filley called the meecting to order and pres:nted as chairman Hon. Charles Parsous, who, amid uproarious cheering, mentioned Gov- ernor McKinley as his choice for the presi- dentlal candidate in 1806, The cheer ng of the great audience became almost eyclonic when Governor McKinley arose, and con- tinued for several minutes. With an e pression of amazement on his face ithe speaker began with: “Your chafrman gald that this was the opening of (he tepubl can campaign in Bis- souri. I wonder in my heart what its close will be.” “The truth is.” continued the governor, | “that no hall is large enough for republican meetings this year.” A contrast was made between the indusirial conditions that ex- isted under the republican tariff law and those existing at present, the result, it was charged, of democratic legislation, and Gov- ernor McKinley inquired whether the au- dience thought it the business of congress to legislate for the benefit of the United States or of foreign natlons. “Nobody,” sald he, “has heard of any in- dustries being revived in the United States since the Wilson tariff law was passed. If anybody In this audience knows of a single one let him name it. On the other hand they are being revived in Europe. Has it built a single fire, or given employment to a single idle workman? Has it given you bet- ter prices for the products of your farms? No, no. They say the law of 1894 is bet- ter than the law of 1890 because it has reduced duties. It reduced the duties on tin plate, and Mr. Niedringhaus, who sits beside me, can tell you what the result ha been. He has closed his tin plate works because, under the tariff law of 1894, he can- not compete with the cheap labor of Wales and pay the wages he paid under the law of 1890. I would rather make it hard for for- eign products to get into this country than to make it hard for American citizens to live in_this country.” While Governor McKinley spoke inside the Nall, Hon. Charles F. Joy and Congressman Barfold addressed an overflow meeting of 2,600 or 3,000 people outside. Late tonight the governor left on a special train for Kan- sas City, Mo. At the solic tation of Mayor Barnes of Kansas City, Kan., who came to St. Louis today to present his request, Governor McKinley will also speak at that city tomorrow afternoon, VEST OPENED TilE CAMPALIGN. Differences with the President Will Not Affect His Party ayalty. KANSAS CITY, Oct. 1.—Senator George G Vest opened the democratic state campaign at the Auditorfum in this city tonight. Over 2,000 enthusiastio people crowded the large theater, and accorded the speaker perhaps as rousing a reception as any orator ever re- ceived in Kansas City. Upon entering the hall Senator Vest was greeted with u ous applause, and when he arose to speak (ie cheering became an ovation. He was intro- dQuced by Tohn L. Peak, and made what many people regard as one of the strongost specches of his career. He said in part: “If any one is here with the expectation that 1 will attack the president «f the United ates or any other demnocrat, that expecta- tion will not be realized. Whatever differ ences of opinion as to public questions imay exist between the presideant and myself, th shull not interfere, so far as I am concerned, with my duty in' the hour of econflict a dauger. My contest is now with the enen not with democrats. No word frc me shall furnish un axcuse for lukewarmness or hesitation by crats, nor give encouragement te foe. ' The democratie party in 1892 pledg itself to certain reforms. ~ First, the repeal of the federal elections law, with the author- ized use of United States marshals and sol diers at the polls. ccond, the repeal of the Sherman act. Third, the reduction of tarlfl taxation to & revenue basis. Fourth, the lessening of governmental expens “Governor McKiuley, in his recent speech at Bangor, Me., made the stalement that not a single pledge of the democratic party had been redeemed. When we reflect that his speech, carefully prepared, and made as a bid for the pres‘dency, contains no allusion to his views on the two great Issues of silver coinage aud the income tax, it Is no surprising that he should add mendacity te cowardice. The democratic party has, in fact, repealed both the federal elections law and the Shermian act, while the oppressive provisions of the McKinley tarift have elther been entirely eliminated or greatly mod fled, avd governmental expenses largely de creased. 1 shull not be so disingenuous as 10 evade the fact that the repeal of the Shee- man aet, which authorized the purchase ef silver by the government, was accompanied by serlous and irritating diversity of opinioa n both the republican and democratic par- tles, We believed then and belleve now, so demo- | country can be profperous with ifcreasing population and- déereising money. We were told the ' répesl of the Sherman act would bring hmmediate relief, but the clouds have been daFker ‘and the bus- iness depression far EA6Ater since the re- peal. The New Yok banks were still glutted with money, while the continued fall in prices of all commodities eaused capital to avold investment for fear of further shrink- age. Free colnage in tha United States will not flood the country with silver, as Is so often predicted. The Huropean nations will not send the billions of silver which they use at a ratio of 15% to 1 as standard money to be coined here at the ratio of 16 to 1, which would fnvolve an enormois loss in the ratio, besides the cost of transpoftatlon. 1 protest against the United States continuing a policy which increases the burdens of the laboring and debtor class in order (0 Increase the in- comes of the rich.” In reference to state and national banks, Mr. Vest said: “The legielation which tax out of existence the circulation of state banks is a gross perversion of the taxing power and should be repealed.” Taking up the tariff, the speaker repeated the history of the passage of the new tarlff bill ‘as t6ld by him in the ate, and declared there was never a mo- ment when the Wilson bill could have passed + senate. He sald: “If any differehces on the sub- jeet exist between the pregident and myself it is that [ am more exireme in my views and long sicce have discarded the fa of a tariff for even ineidental protection.

There were about twenty-five men in the rooi who could lay claim to helonging to'the fraternity of the knights of the grip, and all wore badges of red, white and blue stripes, with a pie- ture of “Henest Tom' attached. Colonel d Siser spent some time in de- tailing the elaborate arrangements being made for the reception of .McKi and one of the ofiicers of the alleged travelers stated that he had had prepired a number of badges and had purchdged a lot of um- brellas, to be used on (he oceasion.

Strode,. to condentning Bryan. One of the visitors who @id not take part in the proceedings was @ former vice presi- dent of the Northwestérn Fraveling Men's association. He stated to a reporter that he went in expecting that it was to be & travellng men's mecting, but that us soon as he got inside the door be realized it was to be a political meeting and quit. At the close of the meetiug a permanent organization was effected, and a ciub was orgapized under the name of “Th porters of the Republican Ticket of Club.” E. J. Cullen was then elected presi- dent and C. C. Caldwell secretary. A com- mittce was then appointed to confer with other committees and republican organiza- tions, consisting of the president, secre: tary, W. E. Dones, R. H! Rathbun and A. A. Wilson.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Ocl. 2.—Returns of local elections from differept parts of the state are slowly coming in, ‘and at 2 o'clock it appears a republican landslide has swept the state. Out of forty towns heard from the republicans gain ten. Among the first cities and towns reported nineteen were re- publican and elght democratic. Norwich gave 550 republican majority. Watertown, Middle- bury, Thomaston, Bethany “and Orange are all republican. Stanford gave the biggest majority since the war, and Milford was ri publican for the first time in thirty years. At New Britain the citizens' ticket was vie- torious. At New London, Johnson (dem.) de- feated Bentley (rep.), but the republicans re- gained control of the council. Danbury elected the entire republican ticket. Talking Will Have No Effect. PORTLAND, Ore., Oct.

HSTORY OF THZ GRZAT CASZ REVIEWED Judge Jenking Sat Beside Harlan on the Bench When the Was De= Jivered and Did Not Appear to Be at All Perturbed. CHICAGO, Oct. 1.—Judge Jenkins' famous strike injunction was overruled today by the United States cire court of appeals, and the cause was remanded with directions to strike out the restraining order of the court, the clausc which arou ed the country when the crder was fssued, and which resulted in the Doatner invest gating committee of cons geess. The interventors, representing the leading labor orgsuizations of the country, asked that two sections of the Injynction be eliminated. The court of appeals decided that no court could restrain a man or a body. of men from quitting individually or in & bedy the service of an employer. The courk suid that Judge Jenkins had exceeded his powers when he enjoined the employes of the receivers of the Northern Pacfic Rallroad company from “quitting the service of sald company with or without notice, 8o as to ple the property or prevent or hinder tho operation of said railroad.” 1t held, kowever, that the section should stand in which the men were prohib.ted from “combining and conspiring to quit with of without notice the service of sald receivers, with the cbjeet wnd intent of cripplng the iroperty in their custody or embarrassing the operations of sald railroad.’” The decsion was considered by the laws yers who nacked the court room as one of the most important opinfons delivered in the United States in a decade, It defines the status before the law of labor organizations in their conduct of strikes, and aflirms the powers of courts of equity to Interfere ty infiaction where there s reason to belivis the faw will be violated. It holds that the men may withdraw in a bely from the ser= vice of an employer, using, however, nelther force, threats nor int'midation toward ems ployes who do not foin them, nor must they use any “device’ o molest, hinder, alarm or (sere with others who desire to teke thelr plac Justice Harlan of the supreme court dde= livered the cpinon. Sitting with him were Judge: Woods, Bunn, Grosseup and Jenkins, Judge Jenkins appeared undisturbed by the opision. The audience which listened to the reading of the opinion was a most dfks tnguished oue, Ex-President Harrison and his partner sat side by side, well up toward . the '~ ‘benel. AMer - disposing of other cazes the finding of the court were merely amnounced by Judges Woods and Jenkins, and Justice Har= began the reading of the opinion in the. e of P. M. Arthur et al, intervenors, inst Thomas F. Oakes, Ienry C. Payn nd Henry C. Rouse, receivers of the North= ern Pacific railroad company, as the celés brated case {s known on the docket. REVIEW OF THE CASE. Justice Harlan, before glying the conelus sions of the court, reviewed the history of the celobrated injunction. The receivers of the road fn Decenber t gave mnotice of a | reduction of wages along the line and when the men t encd to strik - Judge Jenking isued the injunction, on December 19, pres venting a strike. Two days later he amended the injunction, making It mora stringent. The Broth of Locomotive Engineers joine’d with the other labor organi~ zations to which the men belonged and ap= plisd to Judge J mkins for a modification of the order. Judge Jenkins refused to strike | out the clause enjoining a strike and the labor unions appealed to the higher court. The decision says that the injunction ainst employes 50 “quitting as to cripple the properly or prevent or hinder the operas tion of the road” was equivalent to a come mand by the court that they should remain in the active employment of the recelvers, and perform the sorvice appropriate o thei respective positions until they could “quit without erippling the road. The time when they could quit was not indicated by the order of the court. “Under what circumstances,” says the de- cision, “may the employes of the receivers of right quit the service in which they were engaged? Much of the argument of counsel was directed to thig question. We shall not attempt to lay down any rule applicable to every case that may arise be- tween employer and employe, It an employe quits without cause and in vio of an express contract Lo serve for a time, then his quitting would not be of right. But the vital question remalns whether @& court of equity will, under any cireumstance by injunction, prevent one individual from quitting the service of another. I'T 18 INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE, An affirmative answer to this question is not, we think, justificd by any authorily to which our aliestion has been called or of which we are aware. It would be an invasion of one's natural liberty to compel him to work for or remain in the personal service of another. One who Is placed In such restraint is in a condition of involuntary. servitude—a condition which the supreme law of the lard declares shall not exist any= where within the jurisdiction of the United States The declsion then went on to discuss whether the fact that the property Involved was a railway with public duties to perform gave the court the right to restrain the men from quitting declared, had the right to make a new schedule of wages anl offer it to the mem with the alternative of acc.pting it or quit= ting the servic The men had the right to accept or refuse and to quit if they were not willing to work for less wagel court should hav: eliminated the words L from =0 quitting the service of the said re- ceivers, with or without notice ay to cripple ths property or prevent or hinder the opera= tion of the road. “But different considerations must contr id Justice Harlan, ““in respect to the worda in the paragraph of the injunction, and from combining and conspiring to quit, with or without notice, the service of sald recelvers with the object and intent of erippling the property in their custody or embarrassing t operation of the road. We have said that employes were unwilllng to remain in the service for the compensation prescribed for them by the revised schedules, it was the right of each one on that account to Withs draw from that service." RIGHTS OF EMPLOYBS. The decision discussed the right of ems ployes to strike, as follows: he general (nhibition upon combinations and conspiracies formed with the object and intent of erippling the property and embars rassing the operation of the railroad must be construed as referring only to acts of vio= lence, intimidation and wrong. We do nof Interpret the words last above quoted as em= hreacing the case of employes who, being dise satlefied with the proposed reduction of theim wages, merely withdrew on that accounty wingly or by concerted action, from the serve ice of the recelvers, using neither for {hreate, persecution nor Intimidation tow employes who did not jein them, nor any des vice to wolest, hinder, alarm or
