C., July 15.—A remarkable petition, signed by Major-General George Forsyth, retired, was presented to the House yesterday by Representative Belknap of Illinois. It severely | criticizes the so-called sugar trust and demands that the sugar sched- | ule be stricken from the tariff bill. | cation of the schedule will not injure the tariff revenue until Congress can adopt a new schedule at its next session. ! object of the trust was to gain money for its originators, and details He says that between $8,000,000 and the Fifth Regiment, U.

Afer this the crowd fell back and those who had pistols fired volley sfter volley into the body. The crowd then gathered wood and built the fire on which the corpse was burned.

Turkey Pretends to e Willing to Abide by Ther D:cision in Settling With Greece. CONSTANTINOPLE, TurkEY, July 15.— The Embassadors yesterday verbally re- quested Tewfik Pasha, Minister of Foreign Atfairs, to state definitely whether Tur- | key wouid resume peace negotiations on the basis of the proposals made by the powers regarding the establishment ofa new frontier. They added that if negotia- tions were not resumed on this basis they would be compelled to inform their Gov- | ernments that there is no alternative but coercion. To-day Tewfik Pasha declared that the Porte accepted the principle of a strategic frontier. Negotiations will be resymed on Satur- day, afier the deliberations of the mili- tary attaches, foreign embassies and Otto- man military delegates, who will en- deavor 10 agree upon the proposed frontier. On its face the announcement of Tewtik Pasha involves the surrender of Tuarkey’s territorial demands and sub- mission to the will of the powers. Eariy in the negotiations the Embassadors an- nounced that the powers would agree to some changes in the frontier between Turkey and Thessaly as might be sug- gested by strategic considerations. But Turkey until yesterday demanded the en- tire northern third of Thessaly and said she would be content with notbing less than Salambria River as the southern irontier. Now Tewfik Pasha announces toat the Porte accents the principle of a 8 rategic frontier, and the negotiations may be resumed on the basis proposed by the powers. DEBY NEW URDER 1§ WITH 0§ A Tocal Branch of the Social Democracy Be- ing Organized. PROBLEM OF THE UNEMPLOYED. Its Solution to Be the Great Work Undertaken by the Movement, iTflE DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. | The First Commonwealth May Be | Established in the State of Washington. Social Democracy, the new organization fathered by Eugene V. Debs at Chicago less than a month ago, has already se- | cured a foothold in this City. It hasfor | ita object the solution of tbe problem of work for the unempioyed. Among those prominent in ment in San Francisco are Js Rogers, J. M. Reynolds, C. E. Morse and Roger L. Ryfkugel. Already a large number of names have been signed to the call for the preliminary meeting, at which is to be organized the first local branch of the Social Democracy of America. The meeting will probably be held within the next two weeks. The National body was organized at Chicago last month, and on the 2ist of June the constitutions of the National, State and local bod e3 were formally adopted. At the same time the following declaration of principles was adopied: We hold that all men are born_free, and are endowed with certain natural rights, among which are life, literty and_happiness. In the | licht of experience we find thut while uil | eitizens are equal in theory, they are not £o in { tact. While ali citizens have the same rights | po itical.y. this poiitical equslity is under the present system of eco | inequality, which is essent { e, 1 y and happiness, the move- nes Taylor cnomic ally destructive of in spite of our political equaliiy, la0or is robbed of the wealth it produces. By the deveiopment of this sys tem it is denied the means of self-employment, and by enforced idlencss, through luck of employment, is even deprived of the neces- saries of life, |~ To the obvious fact that our despotic system | of economics is the direct opposite of our democraiic system of politics, can be plainly | traced the existence of a class taat corrupis | the Government, alienazes public property, | public franchises and public functions and holds this, the mightiest of nations, in abject devendence. Labor, manual or mental, being the creator of al! wealih and all civilization, it rightfuliy follows that those who pertorm all labor and create all wealth should enjoy the iruit of their efforts. But this is rendered impossible by the modern system of production. Since the discovery and application of steam and electric powers and tue general introduction of steam in all branches of industry the indu: trial operations are carried on by such | gantic means that but few are now able to sess them, and thus the producer 1s separaie: from his products. Whaile in former times the individual worker labored on his own account, i his own tools, and was the master of his own prod- ucts, now dozens, hundreds and thousands of men work together in shops, mines, {actorie ete., co-operating according to the most e ficient division of labor, but they are not t. masters of their products. The fruits of thig co-operative Jabor are, in & greai measure, approvriated by the owners of the means of production, to wit, by the ers of ma- chines, mines, fand and the ns of transe portation. This sys‘em, by gradually extinguishing the middle class, necessariiy leaves but two Cclasses in our country—the large class of workers and the small class of great employ- ers and cepitalists. Human power and natu by this system wnich mak object in business. Iguorance and misery, with all concom- itant evils, are perpetiated by this system, which makes humun labor a ware to be bought in the open market and places no real value on humau life. Science and invention are diverted from their humane purposes and made instrumen s for the enslavement of men aund the starvation of women and children.
