[RISIS FAST APPROACHING ado's Men Must Capture Peking Soon or Temporarily Retire, IAPS CANNOT STAND A CHINESE WINTER Jnck Frost Comes to the Rescue of John K8 Chinamun—Cold Weather Sets in There the Middle of October and is Very Severe. WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—The crisis of the China-Japan war is looked for within the next ten days or two weeks by those most The legations of the two countrles are ex- | pecting daily to hear (hat the decisive battle | | n fought. This is based on the fact Japanese have been gradua Ing In around Peking, and the invading army is compelled by force of circumstances to strike Its blow at once or not at all. The Intense cold which comes on about the middle of October makes this imperative. The Jap- anese climate Is very mild even in winter ana the Japanese troops are wholly unprepared for the rigorous climate about Peking, which is due within two weeks. The Chinese look upon this as one of their defenses and the Japanese fully appreciate that it compels them to concentrate their campaign for this year into the next few weeks, and, if possi- ble, days. For that reason they are expected «to make heroic efforts to decide the contest at once. They are without heavy clothing, camp equipment, ete., for a campalgn in the bitter cold, JAPS SLOWLY, Latest Ad es as to the Progress of the Oriental War. LONDON, Oct. 8.—A dispatch to the Times from Tien-Tsin dated Saturday says the Japancse are pursuing the campaign toward Moukden cautiously and are avolding any Qashing enterprises. Their crulsers are closely watching the Chinese fleet in the Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li. The dispatch adds that fugl- tives from Ping-Yang describe the Japanese tactics as most scientifie, while their w eapons are perfect, On the other hand, tions are said an antiquated fashion considerable disagreement among the Chinese generals. The Japanese are gaining the sympathy of the Corean people by pay- ing for their supplies and maintaining strict discipline. The dispateh concludes with the the Chinese be opera- conducted In and there s to statement that the admiral of the French fleet has arrived, A dispateh to the Standard from Berlin gays the negotiationa of the powers with tho United States, with a view to the Joint pro- tection of their subjects in China, are sald to be much advanced by the Anglo-French , Mgreement on tho subject and a general en- tente may shortly be expected. The dispateh further says Austria has entrusted the protec- tion of her subjects in Chinu to Germany. A Times Berlin dispatch says the negotia- tions mentioned by the Colegne Gazette look- ing to the adoption of joint measures by Great Britain, Germany and other powers for the protection. of their subjects in China are quite distinct from any eventual interference between the belligerents with a view to limit- ing the duration or area of hostilities. Ger- | many's commercial Interests In China and Japan are second only to Great Britain's, The Japanese government has instructed Field Marshal Yamaga to inform the diplo- mats at Seoul that he will not allow the Japanese army to plunder Peking in case This assurance will prob- ably induce the diplomats to stay in Peking even should the emperor leave the capitol They will, at any rate, attempt to negotiate u peace by asking Jupan 10 be moderate in her demands. The emperor's palace in Pe- King is now guarded by Manchu troops only. The Japanese army adyancing on Peking s #ald to have many Coreans in Its ranks ‘The recent statement that American officers had entered the Japanese army has been rectified. It now appears General Ruggles of the American general staff and several other American officers were readily pers mitted by the Japanese government to follow the campaign, but solely as spectators. A dispatch sent from Shanghai says that Prince Kongs, the emperor's uncle, now presi- dent of the Tsung LI Vamen and the ad- miralty to whom has been entrusted the war With Japan, remains in Peking, where he i occupled with providing defenses for the cap- tal. Viceroy Li Hung Chang has sent an- other army of 8,900 well drilled men into Peking. Four thousand rifles were landed at Taku from a Hamburg steamer last week. A digpatch from Chefoo to the Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon says: The British and Russian ministers, Mr. N. R. O'Connor and the Count Cassini, started for Peking yester- day. The object of their visit to the capital 1s not known, The dispatch adds that all the women and children belonging to foreigners bave left Peking for places of safely. A dispatch from Shanghal today says that Sheng, the Taotal, or district magistrate of Tien Tsin, who.e disgrace and flight haye already been reporied, had bought from Germany 300,000 discarded rifies, for which he paid 2 taels each and charged the govern- ment 9 taels. He also bought a large quantity of cartridges, which were found to be uteerly useless, LI Hung Chang discovered the fraud and summoned Sheng to him. In the interview Which followed LI Hung Charg is said to have slapped Sheng's face. Sheng later made an application for a leave of absence | on the plea that he was fll, and the leave was granted.

PARIS, Oct. 8.—The Figaro today throws cold water upon the reported intention of France to annex the island of Madagascar, ¥ry ng that “‘the result obtained since 18 is not brilliant anl scarcely sufficient to make us desire to annex the island. The heavy expenses of the annexation can easily be foreseen, whereas the advantages are very problematical.” WASHINGTON, Oct. 8-—The authorities here do not consider the Madagascar ques- tion, which looked so ominous during the last week, as settled, but merely postponed until the latter part of this month. The French official who has been authorized to take summary steps 1o maintain France's position in Madagascar will not arrive there until October 15. The recent flurry was due to his departure from Paris, but it will be when he arrives at his destination and begins the execution of his vigorous policy that the real contest between France and Great Britain may be expected to arise. Seml- official advices received here are to the effect that the new French official Is directed to close the long contention by asserting the rights of France and then backing them up with forc To this end 2,000 French troops will soon follow the official. It is believed, therefore, that while the recent announcement that France blockaded Madagascar ports w premature, it fore- shadows stirring events in Madaga as soon as the French envoy reaches there, ¢ HONORED, RNELL'S MEMO Procession at Dublin in Commemoration of Is Death Largest on Kecord DUBLIN, Oct. 8.—The procession in com- memoration of the death of Charles Stewart Parnell was the largest on record.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8.—The case of the ading raliroad employes who are members the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, was United was States cir- today a brief argu- riday of this betore the Friday, continued Judge Dallas, and afte was postponed until F brought court before ment, week. Assoclated with Willam P. Montague, counsel for the employes, who presented the case last week, are W. A. Day of Washing- ton. Martin McAipin of Kansas City and Francis Rawle of this city. Counsel for the employes presented a peti- tion signed by Stephen E. Wilkinson of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen of Illinois, Thomas McDermott and George H. Ruppie as employes of the Reading Railroad com- pany. The petition sets forth that there are 130 members of the organization, a majority whom have been members seven years. On the 15th of August of this year the mem- bers were notified by Superintendent Swei- gard that they would have to renounce their to the Brotherhood of Trainmen October § or be discharged from the employ of the company. Later, on Sep- tember 3, they were further notified that they must surrender the charter of the or- ganization or every member would be dis- missed. Superintendent Sweigard stated that he was simply carrying out the wishes of his uperior Counsel for the Reading company, in an- swer to the petition, stated that on October 1, 1894, George H. Rupple made application for a position, and in answer to the customary questions, denied being a member of labor organization, which was willful on before lood. Counsel for the employes then dropped Rupple’s case. In answer to McDermott, counsel for the company stated they would retain him in the employ of the Reading company. Counsel for the emplo s then asked Judge Dallas to allow the case to r main in statu quo and instruct the receive not to dismiss any employes until the case was brought up on Friday. But this Judge Dallas refused to do. An intervening pet tion signed by Levi Hicks, another emp.oye, was then read, and counsel for the Reading company asked that they be given until Fri- day to answer, which was granted by the judge, though bitterly opposed by counsel for the employes, In Wilkinson's case Judge Dalias decided that he being a resident of Ilinois, had no standing in the court, and the pefition of the three men was thus di posed of. The petition to be heard Friday is that of Hicks. In addressing the court in behalf of the employes, Attorney Rawie stated that It wa a criminal offense in New York, Ohlo, Indi- ana, Illinois, California and otlier states to discharge men who were members of labor organizations without just cause. He also referred to Judge Caldwell's opinion in the Union Pacific labor troubles, and Judge Har- lan’s recent decision in the Northern Pacific strike in favor of the right of workingmen 1o strike. PRINT S IN SESSION Convention graphical Union at Loulsville, LOUISVILLE, Oct. 8.—The forty-second conventlon of the Internatignal Typographical union opened this morning at 0dd Fellows of the Typo- ball. Mr. W. B. Prescott of Indianapolis, president of the International Typographical union, called the convention to order. Dr. G. BEaton opened the convention with prayer. Mayor Taylor delivered an address | of welcome to the visitors. Colonel R. M. Kelly, editor of the Commercial, welcomed pos” on behalf of the press, and Mr. president of the local typographica responded on behalf of the union. President Prescott, in his annual report, stated that the membership of the organiza- tion had increased during the past year by over 1,000, exclusive of 1,000 German speak- ing pripters, who afliated in accordance with the agreement approved by the plebis- cite, Nearly every principal city in the country is represented by the new charter issued. Financially the union is in excellent shape, the general fund continuing to accum- ulate. Despite the prevailing conditions, the ceipts have more than equaled expendi- res. Reference is made to the failure of | e Indjanapolis bank, in which the funds of the union were deposited, and it s figured that after the final dividend has been de- clared the union will sustain a net loss of about $12,000. With the idea of reducing this amount suit has been Instituted against the directors as individuals. The report deals with the pressmen’s Imbrogiio, with the con- dition of the Printers home at Colorado Springs and with the introduction of shorter hours. The report refers to the defeat last year of the proposition of making nine hours a day’s work, and continues: ‘It i evident that the causes which go to make shorter hours such a necessity at this time also serve impart hope to the opposition and should warn vs that qugge preparation s more necessary than ever. In a business where the profits are not usually inordinate and in which the t of the material and rent are such potent factors in the cost of production, it is futile to suppose that employers will make a change so long as there s a seeming opportunity for successful resistance. The fore it will be a duty to formulate some plan for submission to the membership which con- tains as a pre-requisite to the adoption of a shorter work day a means for accumulating a large fund for the purpose of prosecuting the fight. The most cursory observer of re- cent events in the labor world must be con- vinced that to overlook this most essentlal feature will be a prelude to a worse state than the existing one. Though the industrial outlook is not an encouraging one just now, yet this is the proper time to make prepara- tion. Now Is the time to buckle on our armor and prepare for the fray."” The first business was the reception of the | report of the law committee, The union, by A vote of seventy-five to twenty-five, refused to extend the terms of the officers from one | year to two years, as recommended by the president. It also refused to change the annual meeting to blennial meetings, as recommended by the president and committee on laws. When the question of changing the law making the death benefit $60 instead of 350, as at present, came up, a long disucssion ensued. The union finally voting against the change, At 12:30 the conventlon adjourned until Tuesday morning out of respect to the mem- ory of George W. Childs and Anthony J, Drexel This afterncon at 2:30 there was a street parade, in which the oldest member of the union, in the person of Mr. James R. Wat- son of this city, togk part.

Referring to political matters, Mr. Wilson said he should not be able to take up in any ordinaty and satisfactory manner the discu: sion of the public issues of the day, because they had been rushed from shipboard to train and from train to the platform, with scarcei any chance for thought. ““We have reached, id he, “that stage in the development of our country when we o the court house, where the addresses The arrangements co to are compelled to have larger markets for our surplus products and such markets, through forcign trade, are the only safety valve for the health and the prosperity of the American laborer in the field and in the factory.” He referred to the struggle for federal (ax- ation as a wonderful and inspiring popular resolution and pledged the democracy the party of the people to go on in the combat. WANT MORE MARKETS. “On one side,” said he, “lie good govern ment, honest, economical government, free industry, large and expanding markets for the products of American labor, and a gen- cral dawning of an era of individual pros- perit On the other side lie corrupt gov- ernment, fettered and imprisoned industry limitation by law on the markets in which we are to sell and limitations by law for the amount which we can profitably produc Those are the two questions at issue hefore the American people and, as I have said be fore, the American people, giving a som what local application to what I am going to say today, the question for the people of Dickerson is more markets for wheat and for the mechanies is more markets for man- ufactured goods. If there is one thing to which I gave more attention than anothe during my brief absence from this countr: it was to the condition of the wheat market of the old world. When I inquired why it was that wheat has gone down to a_ pic much lower than it has ever sold for beforc in the history of at least modern England and America, the answer was there is & uni- versal glut and a production beyond a profit- able demand, that not only is the United States Increasing her surplus export of wheat and Russa increasing her princip: export of wheat, but Argentina s coming forward and is now third in qiantity exported to European mar- kets, I cannot but recall the fact, and I will_state it again, and before the publ people of this country, that the American tax upon the wools of Argentine made them give up their sheep flocks and go Into com- petition with you in the production of wheat I say it is for you today a question of mar- kets—a question of consumers the world over for the products you produce. I believe, 80 far as the great cereals are concerned, we produce enough to feed a population twice as large as our own. | believe, 5o far as staple manufactures are concerned, we produce enough to supply a population as large as our own. The question is where are we to get these markets? We have been holding for thirty years tarifl walls to keep other people from coming in to compete With us in a home market already glutted We have now begun to tear down our turiff walls to let us out with our products to com- pete with the rest of the world in all the markets of the world, ALKED OF THE BANQUET. Whiie I was In London about two wecks ago I was honored, very unexpectedly to myselt, with an invitation by the Chamber of Commerce to be their guest at a public dinner. I was surprised to receive such in- vitation, because 1 was seeking rest, and 1 kuew then as well as I know today that what I would sav on that occasion would be perverted and falsified Lefore the Awcrican people, and I did not think I need bé afraid to talk to the people of London as 1 talked to the people of West Virginia. So I talked to them just what I say to you today, that in the past we had been building up our tarifis to keep them out of the American markets, and now we are tearing them down to let us out In theirs and all the other markets of the world. And I sald to them that not only in the great product of agriculture, not only in our wheat, corn, cotton, beef and other meat products, but in the products of our manufacturers, they might henceforth find us competing with them In all the markets they sought. Thirty years ago we began to shut ourselves in from all the markets of the world; thirty years ago we called the American merchant in from off the seas and surrendered the ans to England and other nations to tra- sa them with their ships. “Last Friday morning in a fierce gale I was off the banks of Newfoundland in one of those great ocean ships which seemed almost to be uble to defy the fury of the storm and yet wi tossed about like & cork upon the waters, an 1 spled off In a fog a few fishing Behooners, and I felt the men who would venture out in such weather In their Ntite fishing boats were the men who could yet restore the American merchant marine upon the seas and carry our flag in safety to all the ports of the world.” Mr. Wilson continued his tariff arguments for fully an hour.

Massachusetts, he said, is a republican state. “I believe,” he continued, ‘it matters very_little who i8 governor under our absurd syste of commissions and coun cil, but this is not an off year and we must from this moment do the best we can to keep | our party in line and uphold our administra- tion. As we are accustomed to defeat in | Massachusetts our party has grown up under it as the onk strengthens in the storm Whatever happens to us we shall meet no such overturn in state and nation as our op ponents encountered four years ago, in the first election held fn Harrison’s administra tion. We will make losses—it will be con teary to the history of parties if we do not but ‘we will make no such losses as they made in 1890 and on no such mrounds. We will lose because the times are against us; they lost in what they say was the flush of prosperity, They were utterly defeated and discreditel for what they had done as a party. “Free wool, free lumber, free salt,” said Mr. Russell, “‘are great reforms. Tie honest attemnt In the income tax to shift part of the burden now borne by agriculture to th shoulders of wealth is an act our opponents do not dara to criticise. Mr. Russell's speech closed: “Victory may not be success; they who make it possibly may have fallen at the outposts. Bunker Hill was a defeat, but the monument which shall mark it while the ranged arch of the wide republic stands records that it made Saratoga and Yorktown possible. “We long ago learned to bear defeat our opponents know that it Let us, then, acquit ourselves like men as in the past times, feeling that in doing our duty we shall honor our cause and make fu- ture victory possible.” and annot crush us M'EINLEY AT DULUTHL.

While the latter was in effect common laborers in lumber camps were paid from $26 to $40 a month; now they were glad to do the same work for from $12 to $16. Horse teamsters and cant-hook men ot from $40 to §45 a month, while now the most paid {s $26 a month. That is the re sult of free trade in lumber under which Canadian_competition s invited.

The cases cited were from 88 Michigan, page 164, and 18 Colorado, page 6. A. J.
