The Entire Miniwstry Has Resolved to Resign. MADRID, 8pary, Dec. 12.—With & view to facilitate a solution of the crisis the en- tire Ministry has resolved to resign. This decision will be recorded at a meeting of the Cabinet to be held to-morrow. Itis believed that the Queen Regent will charge Senor Canoyas del Castillo, the present Prime Minister, with the task of forming another Cabinet, the first step of which will be to dissolve the Cortes. HARMONY WAS URGED Important Matters Before the Federation of - Labor. TROUBLES AT CHICAGO. These Said to Be Due to Law- yers Who Seek Gain Out of Strife. AN ADDRESS MADE BY SARGENT. In the Near Future He Hopes to See Firemen and Engineers in the Order. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 12.—At this morning’s session of the American Federa- tion of Labor a commuxnication was read rom the Trade and Labor Assembly of Chicago, to the effect that the lack of har- mony among the trades unions of Chicago was due to the interference of lawyers and others who sought to make capital out of the Iabor movement and requesting that the incoming executive council of the fed- eration appoint a committee to establish the labor movement in Chicago upon a sound basis. This was referred toa special committee. A resolution, submitted by the com- mittee on rules, approving of the present barbers’ Sunday closing-law in this State, and asking the executive council of the federation to nid in extending the law to | other States, was adopted. | A request from the caretakers of type- | setting machines, calling themselves pe-setting Engineers,” that they be given a separate charter, gave rise to a | lengthy discussion. The request was re- | ferred back to the committee on organiza-| tion. ¥. RB. £ nt, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, was introduced. He paid high tribute to the work and pur- ! poses of the American Federation of Labor and expressed the hope that in the near future representative men of the Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen would repre- sentitin the federation. He urged increased trades union effort and aggressiveness in | the interest of orgzanized labor and that labor see to it thatit hasliberal representa- | tion in the councils of the State and Nation. A rising vote of thanks was given Mr. gent and in reply he expressed the hope that at the next convention the loco- | motive engineers would be represented in | the federation. | Samuel Gompers read a report of the | proceeding of the Twenty-eighth Congress of British Trades Unions at Cardiff, Wales, in September last, after which a recess was | n. At the opening of the afternoon session Mrs. Mary Burt, president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of New | York, and Mrs. W. B. Stuckenburg of | Cambridge, Mass!, National superintend- ent of the Department of Temperance and | Labor; Mrs. E. J. Martin, Mrs. E. Francis Lord and Mrs. Francis J. Barnes, frater- | nal W. C.T. U. delegates, were escorted | ty the platform and introduced to the con- | vention. Mrs. Burt, in addressing the assemblage, said they came to bring the greeting of Miss Frances E. Willard, presi- | dent of the National Women's Christian Temperance Union. The committee appointea to bring about | a settlement of the differences between the | Trade and Labor Assembly and the Labor Congress of Chicago recommended that a | committee, consisting of two members of the executive council for the federation, | go to Chicago to investigate and settle the differences. The report was adopted. A number of resolutions were referred to | appropriate committees, among others one | providing for a petition to Congressin | favor of the recognition of the belligerent | rights of Cuba, and another protesting against any legislation that will open the way to Sunday labor. . Adjourned until to-morrow. out of a cent.” Perhaps nothing illustrates Continued from First Page. the man’s character better than thet simpie re- mark. In facl, honesty and justice have been religion to him. The creedsof the churches | vever greatly bothered him. He has read and studied the Bible as he studiea all he deemed worthy of an earnest man’s attention 1n litera- ture, but he never professed a religious belief. His wife was a Universalist in belief, a woman of many Christian virtues. The Judge, how- ever, rarely discussed the subject. His father had been 8 Bapist preacher, and the son always speaks of the life and creed of his parent with the greatest respeet. Further than this he never went. His mother wasa follower of Swedenborg, and her views doubt- less infiuenced her son greatly. A sister of the late Governor William Allen, sheis described as & very talented woman from whom her son in- herited the greater part of his ability. Her memory he religiously revered. The Thurman family, coming from Virginia in 1819, were always recognized as among the best people, in a social way, in Chillicothe. Young Allen G. was prevented from going to coliege by the condition of the family finances, but his earnestness as a student overcame the lack of classical training in good part. Late hours over his books was the rule rather than the exception, and the habit was one that clung to him all his life. Ever since his rettre- ment from public duties he has persisted in reading till far into the early morning. Since his eyesight has failed him so he cannot read, the long hours of the night are very lonely to him. His memory,oncea tower of strength, gradually lost its former power and freshness. Another writer said: The workingmen, and especially the 20,000 coal miners of Ohio, who have votes to cast, bave ample cause to love and respect Allen G. Thurman. He it was who eecured them & large measure of their rights and broke the s shackles of their oppressors. A few years ago the mine-owners of the State, by concerted ac- tion, set about reducing their employes to such a state of slavery as disgraces and dishonors the coal regions of Eastern Pennsylvania. T be miners refused to succumb and a long and disastrous strike ensued and thousands of women and children were driven to the verge of starvation and had to depend upon charity for a bare subsistence. Finally arbitration was proposed. A representative of the miners and of the mine-owners met to adjust the trouble, and, of course, they disagreed. Then Allen G. Thurman was called upon to decide the matters in dispute. He devoted weeks of patient labor to the task. He first heard the workingmen them- selves and familiarized himself with all their grievances, and drew from them just what they claimed as their dues. Next the mine- owners were heard, and next Senator Thurman required thém to bring their books. These he went through patiemtly, and judicially he as- certained the cost of mining and transporting coal to the market—what it cost the operator to lay it down in the market, what he sold it for and what the profit was per ton. Then he compared this profit per ton with the price paid per ton for mining it, and he was ready to give judgment. Itwas in favor of the miners’ cleim, and their compensation was advancea. Senator Thurman pointed out that by their own beoks the operators showed that they were able aud should pay better wages, leaving them still a good margin for profits. That ended the strike. The mine-owners suc- cumbed, and since then the miners of Ohio have been receiving nearer a just eompensation for their labor, nor have they been compelled since the strike to maintain their rights. No single act of any man in Ohio has ever been so full of beneficence and good results to a vast body of workingmen, struggling for their rights against their oppressors, es that decision of Allen G. Thurman, Isitto be wondered at then that tbe 30,000 miners of Ohio feit dis- posed to snpport their champion, their friend and their defender? WRECKED AT A SWITCH. A Coach on the Colorado Midland Over- turned and Seven Passengers Injured. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Dec. 12.— Passenger train No. 5 of the Colorado Mid- land, which left here westbouna at 11 o’clock this morning, was partly wrecked at Woodland Park, about three hours later. The two engines and the mail and ex- press car passed safely over a switch, but the wheels of the forward truck of the day coach were caught in the switch points, overturning the coach. Fortunately the train was running slowly, and but seven persons, all residents of Colorado Springs, were more or less bruised, the most serious being 0. E. Henry, who was brought back to this city on a special train. The remaining six continued on their journey to Cripple Creek. MR, HARRIS SUSPENDED. Debarred From the Chicago Board of Trade for Two Years. Convicted of Carrying on Outside Business With Iilegitimate Traders. CHICAGO, irr., Dec. 12.—J. F. Harris, who under the name of J. F. Harris & Co. conducts the extensive grain business of Kennett, Hopkins & Co., was to-night sus- pended from the Chicago Board of Trade for two years on the charge of carrying on an outside business with illegitimate traders, contrary to the rules of the board. His suspension leaves the firm without a representative on the Chicago board, and places them in a somewhat precarious pre- dicament. It is claimed by good authority that the firm can still do business in the Chicago pits by taking in another member who shall be also a member of the Board of Trade. There is a rule of the board which would seem to prevent other members | from helping those who have been put under the ban. It declares that any mem- ber suspended shall not be allowed the use of the clearing-house settlement or deliv- ery-room and that he shall not be per- mitted to trade upon the floor of the exchange, either through an employe or a broker. It further provides that any member of the association trading or offer- ing to trade, giving the name of a sus. pended member, shall be liable for dis- cipline at the hands of the board of directors. The taking of the evidence occupied but a short time, Harris conducting his own case, but offering no evidence. The prose- cuting commirtee made a hard fight to get Harris’ sentence fixed at five years, the time given Mr. Kennett, but the board took into consideration the fact that the former was the junior member of the firm and in a certain degree not responsible for its actions to the same extent as the older members and insisted on the two years’ sentence. Commission houses were badly scared to- day and one of the best known on the board this morning took out two bucket-shop wires and will not' replace them until the scare blows over. Others will do the same thing to-morrow it is understood. It is said this will not deter the prosecuting committee from carrying out its crusade against the offenders and that it has enough evidence now to convict them. ——— ~ CHAMPION OF FREE SILVER. Harvey Addresses the Populists and Oui- lines the Plan of Campaign for White Metal Men, CHICAGO, Ivu., Dec. 12.—W. H. Har- vey, the champion of free silver coinage, who has just reiurned from a campaign tour West and South, addressed a large meeting of Populists to-night at the head- quarters of the People’s Omaha Club. He spoke of his cordial reception at meetings of Republicans and Democrais and how 2000 of the latter at Nashville insisted that he should “score Cleveland,” but he was not in the habit of abusing people. He was afraid the advocates of silver were going to be disorganized during the 1896 campaign, but he urged thent not to talk or think of revolution against the consti- tuted authority, which invariably failed. The successful plan was to get the people together, educate them and teach them that the fight which was coming, although bitter, must be won at the ballot-box. This was a critical period in the history of the republic. Despotism had its throt- tling hand on the people, but the fires of patriotism were only smoldering. The sources of strength for the Peovle’s party in 1896 were the small subscriptions of millions and the voluntary free services of the people in campaign work. SRS AR CAPTURE OF COUNTERFEITERS. Two Members of a Noted Gang Run Down by Officers. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 12.—A gang of clever counterfeiters have been run down here by the United States authorities. Two of them, George Goodman and Jose Balkelis, had a hearing before United States Commissioner McCandless to-day and were each held in the sum of $1000 bail for court. Thomas Juscoviski and Joseph Ludanovitz, who made the spuri- ous coin, are also under arrest and will have a hearing to-morrow. Letters found on the men indicate they are members of the same gang tried and convicted in'Judge Butler's branch of the United States court in Philadelphia last Friday. When the verdict in that case was announced about 300 Polish sympathizers of the victims, who were in the court- house, started a riot, which was suppressed with great difficulty. In a valise owned by Ludanovitz were found 382 counterfeit silver dollars and 137 bad halves. The coins were excellent like- nesses and would deceive any one. When arrested the men were preparing for flight. FIGHTS N FORMOSA, Japanese Met Defeat in One of the Important Battles. AMBUSHED BY NATIVES. In Other Engagements, However’ the Slaughter of Chinese ‘Was Terrible. FRAUD DISCOVERED AT TOKIO. Defective Home.Manufactured Pipes Used in the Public Water System. TOKIO, Jarax, Nov. 26.—Japan has hitherto been happily free from serious railway accidents, but the record has been broken by a collision that occurred on the 19th of November between a train and an electric tramcar. The place of the inci- dent was about five miles from Kioto, on the Nara Railway, and the time 6 .. Owing to the darkness the drivers failed to perceive the danzer in time to prevent the collision, and though the brakes were applied in both cases the locomotive struck the tramcar right in the center and threw 1t thirty or forty feet off the line. Three persons were killed on the spot and forty wounded. The Imperial Guards, decimated by diseases indigenous to Formosa and by casualties in the field, have returned to Tokio and received an enthusiastic wel- come from the citizens. The last few days of the Formosan cam- paign, from November 5 to November 19, were marked by severe fighting and heavy loss of life, but the Japanese nation has be- come so accustomed to such incidents that very little attention has been directed to the Formosan record. Two events are specially worthy of note. One occurred on November 19, when a Jap- anese force surrounded the village of Shoi- lan, where 3000 Chinese troops were quar- tere. The affair differed from the ceneral fashion of encounters between Japanese and Chinese, in the fact that no road of escape was left open for the latter. The fighung was consequently of a desperate character, the Chinese losing about 1000 of their number and the Japanese thirty. The Japanese, on the other hand, met with something very like a disaster at a place called Tangkoisu1 on the 14th of No- vember, when a reconnoitering party, con- sisting of two companies of infantry, marched into an ambush of five or six hun- dred Chinese posted well under cover. The Japanese lost 94 men in killed and wound- ed and had-to fight for several hours before they succeeded in dislodging their enemies, who left only 30 corpses on the field. On no other occasion during the war did the Japanese casualties exceed the Chinese. The two companies did not muster more than 250 men, so fully one man in every three was put hors de combat. Altogether, in the interval of fifteen days (from the 5th to 19th of November, inclusive) the two Japanese columns, one advancing from the north, the other from the sea, fought fifteen engagements, large and small, and had a list of casualties ag- gregating 255, while the Chinese losses in the samé time aggregated 2300. During the Japanese occupation of Liao- tung and other parts of Manchuria, about 4000 Chinese became naturalized Japanese subjects, and it was, of course, a serious question what kind of treatment these | persons would receive at the hands ot the Chinese local authorities after the rendi- tion of the occupied territory. A clause providing that tbey should not be sub- jected to any ill treatment was inserted in the convention relating to the evacuation of the territory, but as there is no possibie security for the observance of such a con- dition, it 1s probable that the Japanese Government will offer to these people the option of emigrating to Hokkaido, where suitable grants of land could be made to them. A fraud of large dimensions has been discovered in connection with the Tokio Water Works. For 250 years the City of Tokio has possessed a water supply drawn fromn the head-waters of a river twenty miles away. The water is excellent in quality and in quantity it doubles the amount flowing into London. But being distributed through the streets in wooden pipes it becomes more or less impure be- fore reaching the consumers, and there is, of course, no head of water for hydrants and such purposes. After long delay and much discussion of projects the citizens decided two years ago to replace the wooden pipes by iron, to construct proper filter-beds, together with elevated reser- voirs. At that time the nation was suffering from a temporary mania of independence. Instead of procuring good pipes at reason- able prices from abroad the Municipal Council acceptea the proposals of a Japa- nese company, who undertook to manu- facture the pipes in loco, although no fa- cilities for doing so existed. An enter- prise undertaken so rashly could only re- sult in failure. The iron foundry com- vany, sinking deeper and deeper into diffi- culties, had recourse to fraud. They filed off the numbers cast upon pipes that had successfully resisted the prescribed tests, soldered these numbers on greatly inferior pipes, and putting fresh numbers on the good pives, submitted them again for ex- amination. By this process one set of good pipes enabled the company to deliver thousands of defective castings, and these being immediately sunk into their places, the fraud might have remained undiscov- ered for years had not an employe of the compary given information. Twenty-eight versons bave been ar- rested, and it is computed that the loss to city will be over a million dollars, the com- pletion of the much-needed water works being also delayed for nearly two years. A strange story is in circulation with reference to the little British schooner called the Saipan, that sailed from Yoko- hama early in October. Ostensibly her purpose was shark fishing, but there is lit- tle doubt that fur seals were her real quarry. Reaching Robben Island—a place that has been the scene of many stifring adventures—on October 29, she landed seventeen of her crew and sasiled away, promising to return in eight days, by which time the men on shore were doubt- less expected to collect a handsome tale of sealskins. But when the schooner came back the seventeen men had disappeared, leaving no trace whatever. In all proba- bility they had been discovered by a Rus- sian man-of-war and carried to Vladivo- stock, and it is not unlikely that they will spend the next few years in the Saghalien penal settlement. Ratifications of the supplementary tariff convention provided for in the revised Anglo-Japanese treaty of July 16, 18%4, were exchanged in Tokio on November 21. The object of this convention is to convert into specific duties the ad valorem duties contained in the new tariff accompanying the treaty, the basis of conversion being the medium prices, as shown by the Japa- nese customs return during the six calen- dar months preceding the date of the treaty, together with charges for insurance, transport, etc. The convention should have been concluded by January 16 of the current year, but its preparation having been delayed by the war it did not receive the signatures of the plenipotentiaries until July. Great Britain, which used to be counted the obstacle in the path of treaty revision, now enjoys the credit of having been first among the nations to bring the whole question to a final settlement. Intelligence from Korea is to the effect that the leaders of the Min faction—the relatives and partisans of the late Queen— are busily devising plans to avenge her Majesty’s murder and drive their enemies out of office. Japanese correspondents confidently allege that several of the con- spirators are concealed in the Russian le- gation, and that their programme is to gein possession of the King’s person in the first place, after which an anti-pro- gressive Cabinet, the members of which are already fixed, will place the present Ministry. It does not appear that the Min faction has any power to put such a scheme into execution, for the present at all events. Meanwhile the foreign representatives, speaking through the United States Min- ister, have made an official intimation that, in their opinion, the duty of pre- serving order devolves at present on the Japanese, and that the Korean guards, now in charge of the palace, should be re- placed by Japanese troops. The list of punishments meted out to the Whasang murderers seems to have now attained its full dimensions. The no- torious ringleader, “‘Butterfly,” who was said to have committed suicide, fell into the hands of the authorities so soon as a reward of 500 tls. was offered for his appre- hension. He was executed, together with the four other ringleaders, at the public execution ground of Foochow on the 4th of November, Thus the number of men executed totals twenty-six, and of the others convicted six were banished to Manchuria for life, eleven for shorter terms, twenty-seven were sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment and four—the blacksmiths that forged the spears and swords—were condemned to be chained to a stone for three years. The Yellow River is working its usual annual devastations. It has broken its banks near Ch'itung City in Shantung, and hundreds of square miles of country are under water. The gap is said to be two-thirds of a mile in width and a heavy stream is steadily pouring from it. CUMP[AIN_TS_[IE GODFREY It Looks as Though He Would Not Receive Satisfaction From Hawaii. Reasons Why Six Political Prisoners Were Not Released by the Dole Regime. HONOLULU, Hawam, Dec. 6,.—United States Minister Wiliis made an official call upon Koreign Minister Cooper on the morning of the 4th, in relation to the com- plaints of ¥rank Godirey to the American Government. Godirey’s first complaint was on account of detention at the cholera hospital twenty-four hours over the time a convalescent or suspect is usually held. This complaint was not sent on to Washington, the matter being considered as properly within the discretion of the local health authorities.” Godirey’s sec- ond complaint was on account of being tarred and feathered by several men in September last, as shown by a number of affidavits. Some of the names of his as- sailants he professes to know. He claims $50,000 damages from this"Government. Mr. Willis informed Mr. Cooper that Secretary Olney declined to support God- irey’s case on the ground tiaat he had not appealed to the %ocnl courts, where his proper remedy lay. There was some question about Godirey’s American cit- izenship, which Mr. Olney did not deem it necessary to consider. Godfrey had taken out letters of denization, qualifying him to vote, but expressly reserving his al- legiance to the United States. As reported at the time, very serious distrust was felt last August by this Gov- ernment in connection with the course of the administration and Mr. Willis in the Dureell case. The executive now express themselves as being well satisfied with the course of Minister Willis. Out of twenty- six claims presented to the American Gov- ernment against Hawaii, not more than six remain open to any possible further action. Relations with the United States Minister are entirely cordial. Ia reference to Gulick, Seward and the four other political prisoners not released on Thanksgiving day, the executive have allowed the fact to be published that they did not submit the cases of those six men to the Council of State for the reason that there was no satisfactory evidence of any relenting in their hostile sentiment to- ward the Government. — 4 HUNTINGTON HEAED FROM. An Address to Congress on Santa Monica Harbor. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.—Collis P. Huntington hasaddressed to the Senate and House of Representatives, submitting therewith the report of the engineer of the Southern Pacific, Hoad, who has exam- ined the harbor at Santa Monica, and re- ported that it is much better adapted for improvement and for the reception of deep draught ocean vessels than the harbor at San Pedro. Engineer Hood recom- mended that a seawall or breakwater be constructgd of sandstone for the substruc- ture and granite for the superstructure. The old fight between Santa Monica and San Pedro as rival cities for a Pacific Coast deep harbor is reopened, but as Speaker Reed intimated to a delezation of Califor- nians who called on him yesterday, *‘this is to be an economical Congress,” so it is altogether improbable that any appro- 'p{u ion will be made for either ot the places.

CHRISTIAN BURIAL DENIED. Ruling of the Bishop May Cause the Laity to Be Most Seriously Concerned. LINCOLN, NEsR., Dec. 12.—The dispute between Bishop Bonacum and the two al- legea rebellious priests whom he has sus- pended, Father Murphy of Tecmuseh and Father Fitzgerald of Auburn, has reached that point where the laity of the church may be seriously concerned. Following the suspension and excommu- nication of Father Murphy at Tecumseh the priest retained possession of the church, and in a civil suit to oust him the Bishop was defeated. Father Murphy con- tinues to hold services despite the fact that his successor has been installed, and the Catholies of the town with few exceptions attend his church. In a circular letter to Father Carraher, Murphy’s successor, made public to-day, Bishop Bonacum warns the Catholics of Tecumseh of the risks they run in attending Murphy’s church. He says in part: ‘1t is my wish that you again notify the Catholic worshipers at Tecumseh that I have suspended from the sacred ministry and excommunicated from the church the aforementioned priests, Murphy and Fitzgerald. This notice having been duly brought to their attention, if any Catholics shall thereafter knowingly and willfully hold communion in things spiritual with the said Murphy and Fitzgerald such Catholics are excommunicated from the church while living, and when dead shail be deprived of Christian burial. I re- serve absolution from this censure to myself.” The Bishop then quotes from a letter of Mgr. Satolli, in which the Archbishop sus- tains him at every point. LORD DUNRAVEN Will Make a New Arrangement Relative to Coming Over, LONDON, E~c., Dec. 12.—Lord Dun- raven, who was a passenger on the White Star steamer Germanic, which yesterday ran into and sank the steamer Cumbrae, near the Mersey, and was compeiled to put back to Liverpool, bas returned to London. The Liverpool corresponaent of the Central News says that Lord Dun- raven will make a new arrangement with the New York Yacht Club relative to his presence ac the inquiry into the charges made by him against the Defender syndi- cate.
