The King of /hz/; Intimates That He Holds the Powers Above the Dreibund. 7 HAMBURG, GERMANY, Sept. 5—Em- veror William, in proposing the toast to King Humberl at the banquet at the Kurhaus last evening, said: “My army thanks your Majesty for the honor of your leading a corps in the re- view, but not only my army but the whole German fatherland greets in your Majesty and exalted Prince a close friend of my father and a true ally, whose pres- ence again shows us and the world how unshakable and firm stands the Dreibund, which was founded in the interest of peste and which the longer it lasts will more firmly and more deeply strike its shoots into the minds of people 2nd bear fruit accordingly.” King Humbert repliied in French. said: “Iam glad of the opportunity to give u fress testimony of the cordial friend- ip and alliance between our Govern- n and the States. Your Majesty has set ydur reizn a noble task by devoting your constant eflorts toward peace, the maintenance of which by agreements will end in the unanimous wish of our Gov- ernments and also in my mosi ardent de- sires. “l1 think I shal! always remein faithful to my country’s miss by giving loyal support to the accomplishment of this work—the greatest and most beneficent of He all for the welfare of nations and the progress of civilization.” Emperor William then conferred the decoration of the Order of the Biacz Eagle upon Count Lanza di Bosoea, the Italian Emassador to Germa The toast pro- posed by King Humbert is considered to be t0 worded as to make it understood that while Italy will adhere to tbe Drei- bund, she does not mean to impair her re- Jations with other powers, and it was evi- dently his view to emphasize this fact. ng the morning King Humbert | held a long conv on with the military | attacho of the French embassy.

It Is Belleved the Men of All the Collleries Will Now Go to == Work. PITTSBURG, Pa.,” Sept. 5.—Expecta- tions are high in coal mining circles over the prebable resumption of workin the mines throughout the ¢ountry. In anticipation of a settlement at Co- lumbus next Wednesday another plan has been suzgested by a representative of one of the largest operators which will be agi- tated immediately after the men return to work. It will be formulated and submit- ted to the joint convention of operators and miners which itis proposed to hold next December. In order to come to an uncerstanding on all questions at issue separate wage scales are to be formu'ated for exch mine. The scale is to provide for the rate to be for the entire year, and any special concessions that are to be made are to be agreed upon by the miners and the operators and so specified in the scale, The scale is to be an adjunct to the uni- formity agreement which is expected to be in force. Tbe proposition will be made by operators in the hope of putting all the safeguards possible against a probable strike. Itis well known that there are not two mines in the entire district where tke conditicns are exactly alike. The uniformity agreement covers the general points, but even with it in existence ail operators would be subjected to diffi-| culties, while others have special ad- vantages. The scale 1s to cover all thess points, the primary object being to avert differences and create a more friendly feeling between the employes and em- ployers. Philip Stambaugh, a cousin of Presi- dent McKinley and a partner 1n the firm of Osborne, Saeger & Co., was in Pitts- burg this afternoon. He said the men formerly employed in the Eclipse mine, on the Wheeling daivision of the Balti- more and Ohio road, would be asked to go to work to-morrow ata 65-centfrate. He was not prepared to say how,many men would go to work. David Van Eman, manager of the Pitts- burg and Chicago Gas Coal Company’s mines at Snowden and Gastonville, an- nounced more than a week ago that he would resume work to-morrow. Notices were served on all the men living in com- pany houses to vacate, and the ten-day limit expires in the morning. Manager Van Eman could not be seen, but it is generally supposed that no effort will be made to resume until after the Columbus convention. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 6.—There was a report at Turtle Creek to-day that agents of the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company were working among the foreign strikers, endeavoring to get them to work at the 65.cent rate on the promise that half of their wages, which are being held back by the company, would be paid back on September 25, and the other half on Octover 25, Steps were taken to offset this move, and the campers’ missionaries report that none of the men wiil go back to work until the strike is settled. Cap- tain Uriah Billingham, in charge of the camp at Plum Creek, said to-night: *I think it would be foolish if the minersdo | not accept 65 cents, but, in any event, you : | | | can be sure that we will keep up the fight against De Armitt t!ll we win or starve.” TERRE HAUTE, Ixp., Sept. 5 —Presi- | dent Knigbt of the Inaiana. district, has | returned from Columbus, where was held | the meeting of the National executive board of miners. Mr. Knight has been away from Inaiana so much since the strike began that he cannot say with what fervor the proposition c¢f the Pittsburg operators will be met by the Indiana min- ers, He believes it contains the basis of a setilement, but he declares that “no adjustment of the strike that neglects the interests of any district involved in the strike will be agreed to.” IN THE NEW KLONDIKE. The Michipocitan “River Diggings Are | Immensely Rich in Gold- } Bearing Quartz. ! SAULT STE MARIE, Mica., Sept. 5.— | The party of gold-seekers on the yackt Mary Bell returned from Michipncitan last evening after having been in the new | gold fields but three days. They say the ! newly discovered EI Dorado is fully as rich as has been reported. There were fourteen in the party and all responsible business men of this city. Each of them secured claims upon the gold quartz promising big returns. Ia all, the party will make application for 4000 acres, which were prospected and staked out while they were there. Many specimens of quartz in which free gold as large asa pin head can be seen, were brought back with them. The speci- mens were secured from different piaces on their claims, which are scattered about. When the party arrived Tuesday night there were but six prosp:ctors on the ground at Lake Wawa, and they secured good locations. They are jubilant over their finds and say that the auriferous deposit evidently is an immense one. Veins of beautiful white quartz, carry- ing free gold, exist in the river and Lake ‘Wawa region. The original find is an ex- tremely rich one beyond doubt. § The returning prospectors say that wbhere the veins are laid bara the gold particles can be seen everywhere in the quartz. When the party left Saturday, at least 200 prospectors had arrived and they passed several parties going in. The shores of Lake Wawa were dotted with tents and within the three days they were there a lively mining camp had sprung up. The distance from the south of Michipocitan River to Lake Wawa is not to exceed seven miles, and the party experienced no difficulty in getting in and out. With their camp equipage the lrip1 was made in about three hours. The road is well defined. The specimens which the Mary Bell'party brought have set the two Soos wild with excitement, and an exodus to Klondike Junior will begin to- morrow. Baled Cotton Burned. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 5.—Twelve hundred and eighty-nine bales of com- pressed cotton, which arrived from the | named Sherwocd | was overpowered and arrested. | paratively humble Southb by the Morgan line and which were to have been shipped East by the City of Fall River, were burned to-day on the lighter Mystic aloneside the Fall River pler on the North River front.

NEW YORK, N.Y., Sept. 5.—Eugene O'Hara, alias Joe Bates, alias James Brown, burglar, highwayman, desperado and probably murderer, who cut his way out of Jefferson Market Prison here six years ago and has been hunted ever since, was recaptured to-day by a detective. After his escape O'Hara, with anotber fugitive from justice named Joe Stanahan, made Lis way to Colon, from which place they proceeded to Europe, where they committed a series of bold crimes. Three years azo O'Hara returned to the United States, and at Columbus, Ohio, was caught in the act of burglary. He served a term of two and a half years for this crime, and during the period of his imprisonment was not recognized as the escaped pris- ouer from this city. O’Hara was released recently and took up a residence in Jersey City. He made trips across the North River and at iast the police were informed that O’Hara was visiting his old haunts here and took steps to arrest him. Under the name of Bates, 0’Hara in 1878 was sentenced toa term of seven yearsin Sing Sing prison for a highway robbery committed here. Again in 1885 he was caught robbing a saloon in this city by Policeman William Ketcham. O’Hara made an attempt to shoot the policeman, but was finally landed in the :tation- house. Before being sent to the State vrison 8 second time O'Hsra threatened to kill Ketcham as soon as he had served his term. On August 7, 1891, Poticeman Keich- am’s dead body was found floating in the North River and the mystery of his tragic death has not yet been cleared up. As O’'Hara was known to be out of prison or- ders were issued to arrest him on suspi- cion of having killed Ketcham. Four days after the finding of the policeman’s body Patrolman Thomas F. McGuire was stabbed three timesin the back by O*Hara. Atter -a fight with another policeman the murderous crook He was then committed, 1n default of $5000 bail, to the Jefferson Market prison to await trial for his attack on McGuire. O'Hara cut the prison bars with a saw and es- caped. COUATESS Vull SO H-TZFELOT SINGS Huntington’s Relative Appears in a Lhicago Concert Hall and Scores a Success. CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 5.—Olga Regina, Countess von Hatzfeldt, made her ap- pearance at Hopkins’ Theater to-night. The young lady, who 1s pretty, petite and piquante,sang several music hall songsand scored an insiantaneous success. The countess is the first cousin to Prince von Hatzleldt, who a few years ago married the adopted daughter of C. P. Huntington. When Olga Regina, who was in com- circumstances, an- nounced lher inteation of becoming a concert-hail singer, Huntington frowned at the idea thatany young woman, how- ever remo:ely related to him, should have the temerity to try to earn her own liv- ing, and now it Is claimed he bas recently been pursuing Oiga Regina with threats and offers of large bonuses to quitthe stage for ever and rid him of the odium. “1 am very sorry,” ske said, “that Mr. Huntington does not wish my name used in connection with vaudeville. I suppose he feels a sort of proprietary interest in my title, but I must (o the best I can for my- self, and the §1500 a year which he has of- fered me is not much in return for a stage career.” S gl o AT THE OLD HOMESTEAD. President and Mrs. McKinley 4Are Having a Delightful Visit to Canton. CANTON, Omto, Sept. 5.—President and Mrs. McKinley are having a delighttul visit here. The weather 18 perfect and the city 1s at its best in appearance. The President went to church this morning, accompanied by his aged mother and her sister, Mrs. Abigail Osborne of Cleveland. They rode in Mother McKinley’s modest carriage and occupied the old pew from which Major McKinley was seldom ab- sent when in the city. The service was in the First M. Church, of which the President is a director, and the sermon | was delivered by Rev. Dr. Chester, his old comrade in arms and pustor of the church during Mr, McKinley’s last residence | here. The President and Mrs. McKinley took dinner after the services with Mrs, Barber and spent most of the afternoon at the Barber home. Later, President McKin- ley went to his mother's home, chatted with a few neighbors who dropped in, and, after a short time returned, took lunch and settied down for an evening at the old homestead. Scores of old triends and neighbors dropped in to pay their re- spects. According to present plans the Presi- dent and Mrs. McKinley will remain here until to-morrow evening, when they witl leave for Somerset, Pa., the home of Ab- ner McKinley, the President’s brother. They will remain there a day and maybe longer, depending upon ciicumstances, They will reach Washingion the latter part of the week. e RPN L A HEXICAN KLONDIKE. Rich Gold Placers on the West Coast of the Southern Fe- public. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 5.—A special to the Journal from Sedalia, Mo., says: J. W. Corkins, a Sedalia capitalist, and Leo Cloud, an expert mining engineer of Cincinnati, Ohio, representatives of a 8t. Louis ana Cincinnati syndicate, will leave here to-morrow for the west coast of Mexico to praetically verify the value of gold placer and quartz mines which have recently been secured by the syndicate through concessions: and mineral lund grants from the Republic of Mexico. Messrs. Corkins and Cloud will go direct to Hermosillo and from there to the gold fields in the new El Dorade, located in the Yaqui Indian country, which has just been opened to entry to white men. This part of Mexico has been explored but little by the whites, but if the reports of the syndicate’s prospectors are true, the in- land mountain ranges along the west coast of Mexico are richer even than those of the Klondike. The placer mines are said to be marvelously rich in scale and nugget gold, while the quartz rock in the upper ledges contain veins of free milling ore which assay from $50 to $200 per tou. The syndicate succeeded in keeping the discovery a secret while securing its min- ing patents and concessions, and, if the reports received here are substantially correct, the syndicate will be able to turn the t:de of fortune-hunters from the gold fields of Alaska to the El Dorado of Mexico. MR GOMPER) IS DENOUNCED Styled Greasy Tool Capital.” ““a Plug-Hatted of The President of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor Also Calleda a “Faker.” Membsers of the United Labor League of Western Pennsylvania Use Rather Polnted Language. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 5.—Ths United Labor League of Western Pennsylvania at a largely-attended and exciting meeting to-night gave expression 10 an open revolt against Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and many reflections and ugly charges are made. He is credited with making unkind remarks about Fathering, and casting reflections on those who were present at the meeting. Gompers had a few defenders in the meet- ing; dnd at one time there were remarks concerning somebody being thrown out of the window. During the discussion on a proposition te take some action on the St. Louis plat- form, M. P. Carrick, president of the Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators, referred to Gompers as a “plug-hatted, greasy tool of capital.” He said among other things: “President Gompers, through interviews and otherwise, had proved himself no trae friend of labor. Gompers has said that Debs and Sovereign are trying to disrupt trades unions. It is he taatiscoing his utmost to accomplish this. I want to say that it was not the trades unions that came to the assistance ot the miners in their great fight, but the great mass of un- organized labor and citizens who have no interests in organization. “Business men, shopworkers and people from all crafts came to the rescue of the miners, and their cause would have been utterly lost bad it depended on trades- unions and such men as Gompers. It is time to call a halt on labor fakers who sit in their offices and thank God that they are not like the poor workingmen of "the country. Gomuvers is a aisgrace 10 labor, and I believe it is bigh time to call down the would-be aristocrats of labor and kick them bodily out of the movement.” When President Carrick finished he was greeted with round after round uf ap- plause. The following resolution, offered by John Dykus, representative of the Typographical Union, was adopted : Resolved, That the United Labor League of Western Pennsylvania disapproves of the utterances of Mr. Gompers for the reason that they are inimical to the interests of organized iabor, and we are liberal enough to believe that the great battle for the emancipation of labor cannot be won by the trades- unions alone. It was decided to send a delegate to the Chicazo convention to be held September 27, and every delegate present was in- structed to urge his local lodge to do the same. e OPPOSE DEBY TEACHINGS. Arrangements Being Made to Form the American Hailway League. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 5.—The teachings and principles of Eugene V. Debs are to be opposed by a National political organi- zation of the same class of men whom be claims to represent. The preliminary arrangements for the Illinois branch of American Railway League, the new organization, were made to-day at a meeting held in one of the lodgeroorus of the Masonic Temple. The league has an open membership list. Every employe of a railroad, trom a presi- dent down to a truckman, is eligible, and those foremost in the movement say that the organization i8 to be a non-partisan effair, whico will not only heap benefits upon the working rallroad men, but will also work for the venefiv of the railroad corporations, and more than all, as it was put at the meeting, ‘‘correct the rapidly growing impression that the ordinary railroad man is against the Government and his employers on every question.” Grand President R. 8. Taylor of Obio presided at the meeting and there were at least 200 employes of railroads entering Chicago in attendance. J. W. Callahan, who was active in the railroad men’s sound money organization last fall, was elected president pro tem. of the Ilinois branch. The business of the meeting had progressed thus far when the news of the death of Senior Conductor Hiatt of Divi- sion No. 1 of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors caused an adjournment for two weeks. “‘There is nothing secret or mysterious’” said Taylor, “about this organization. It is simply the outgrowth of the increasing incelligence of ti:e employes of railroads. We huve learned that it is more to our ad- vantage to co-operate with the men who are paying us wages than to oppose them at every turn. We believe that we can help them and help ourselves by an enlightened use of the ballot-box more than by strikes or boyeotts. We intend to take part in primary elections, and every candidate who secures our suppért must first pledge himself that he wil oppose legislation that will tend to reduce the wages of railway employes. We will not attempt to walk into National politics at once, although in time we may be forced todo so. I admit that while our organi- zation is made up on non-partisan lines, at present there is a preponderance of anti-silver men enrolled. We have filty- one leaguesin Onio,and there are organiza- tionsin Iliinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Missours, Michigan and Iowa. In six months we hope to have organiza- tions in at least twenty-four States. Tuere are 900,000 railroad men in the United States, aud we believe that we can be a tremendous power in politics if we organ- ize thoroughiy.” LIVELY WEEK AT NASHVILLE. Two Holdays and Special Features Will Increuse the Attendance at the Exposition. NASHVILLE, Tess., Seot. 5. — This week will be a rousing one at the exposi- tion." Tnere will be two public holidays— to-morrow, Labor day, and Saturday, the 11th, Nashville day. A larze attendance is @xpected during the entire week, for be- sides these public holidays with special teatures of entertainment there are other special days of mom-nt. Tuesday is Iowa day, 4nd an excursion of Iowa people, including many promi- nent citizens, will arrive to-morrow and remain two days. Tuesday the delegates to the United States Veterinary Medical Association wili come and remain three days. Wednesday the engagement of Victor Herbert and the famous Twenty- second Regiment Band ends, and Connors’ well-known band will begin an engage- ment. During the week many counties of the State will celebrate their days, and a continu-d attendance of Tennesseeans from all parts of the State will be secured, as a good deal of rivalry between adjoin- inficnnnties has already developed. Nashville day, Saturday next, is to be the star day of the exposition. With good weatber the attendance is certain to be the largest of the exposition. The elaborate programme and varied exercises will serve to bring in thousands from adjacent coun- ties and towns along thelines of railroads. This week is alsd to besomewhat ofa military week. Thousands of troops will be here and all will participate in the pa- rade and exercises on Satwrday. The First Battalion of the First Infantry of Ala- bama goes into camp to-morrow, under command of Major J. 8. McMullan. The First Regiment of Ohio Artillery will ar- rive Friday and go into camp. Companies of State troops will also go into camp. These troops are gathering for next week, which is to be *'mllitary week.” \ Last Thursday’s attendance was 8242; Friday’s 8289 and Saturday’s, though not yet given out, exceeds these figures. Interest all over the State is increasing, for it is being realized that the end of October isapprcaching, SUGAR CLASSIFICATION. New Regulations Governing the Scien- tific Sampling of the Product. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 5.—The Treasury Department has reported the regulations governing the sampling and classification of the imported sugars and molasses under the new tariff law, and they will be formally promulgated to- morrow. One of the principal and most important of the changes made in the old regulations, which were made in 1883. is a provision requiring that the “‘resample’ of sugars shajl be taken at the time the original sample is taken. This provision has been expedient to prevent any sus- picion of irregularity. Many new provisions were also included in the regulations, with the object of se- curing uniformity at the different labora- tories where sugars are tested. As soon as the change can be made only the hali- shadow polariscope will be employed in making tests, instead of the color 1nstru- ments now in use, and all otber instru- ments and apparatus will be standardized by the officials of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, in order to secure uniform re- sulig, The tests for the classification of sugars have been changed so that the average tests agreeing within two-tenths of one ver cent shall govern the classification. Under the act of 1833 the determining test was the lowest of two tests agreeing within three-tenthis of a degree. This change was made because the present law provides for a sliding scale of duties on fractions of a degree and because it was believed that tiis method which follows the commercial practices would be fairer to all concerned. Warrant for this change was obtained from an opinion rendered by the Solicitor of the Treasurer. All that portion of the regulations applying to polarization by chemists is new, and it is believed by the department that ii will give the Govern- ment the benefit of scientific methods wiich bave greatly improved since the act of 1883. The regulations were pre- pared by a committee of experts which included the chemists of the Agricultural Department, officers of the Internal Reve- nue Bureau and experts of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. = SILVER LEADEKk> PLANNING. Nolidify the Factions. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 5—Charles D. Lane, chairman of the National Com- mittee of the Silver Party, and George P. Keeney, National organizer, are here to see what can be accomplished toward solidifying the different Democratic fac- tions for the support of the principles enunciated in the Chieago platform. Mr. Lane came direct from Mexico. With him were Charles G- Flynn ot Monterey, Senor Alejandro Elquezabel and other Mexicans, They are united in expressing the belief that Mexico is much more pros- perous than this country. A man asked me to-day,”” said Mr. Flynn, “if 1 were @ McKinley man or a Bryan man. I replied toat 1 wasa Diaz man.” “Shake hands on that,” exclaimed Chairman Lane. Then he added: *1 wrote to Mr. Bryan to-day to see when he is going to Mexico. I want to go with him. I shall be nere for several days. Ithink the issueis still silver and tkat the people will not be satisfied until we go back to where we were. The local campaign here must be fought on the same lines.”’ Mr. Keeney proposes to take an active part in the campaign. He says: “We shall try to bring about here the same equitable plan of fu-ion tkat Mr. Bryan has succeeded in effecting in Ne- braska by uniting all Republica; Demo- crats and Populists on the Chicago plat- form. Each faction will be represented on all the tickets and commitiees accord- ing to 1ts numerical strength. My object is to unite ail organizitions outside of Tammany Hall and to call a convention to take such action as may be necessary at the time.” Trying to Democratic e T BACHELOEFOLITICIANSTABOOED Woman’s Rescue Lsague. of Boston Meets and Hesolves.

Millions Expended in Ger= many That Should Have Come to This Country. Baldwin Locomotive Works, How= ever, Get an Order for Forty Engines. CHICAGO, Irr., Sept. 5.—M. Oshima and J. Mori, Japanese engineers, were in the city yesterday. The former is the head of a commission of five persons, who were given full power to make contracts for several million dollars’ worth of ma- chinery for s steel plant about to be erected in Japan. Oshima said he had placed in Germany a large proportion of the orders for the material of the plant of his company, which would cost about $2,000,000, and of this entire amount not more than $250,000 would be spent in this country. The Japanese engineers are favorably impressed witn the steel plants they saw here, and the bulk of the orders would have come to the United States had it not been for the unbusiness-like methods of firms that were asked for bids, One of them, Oshima said, did not answer at all, and another postponed replying to bis let- ter for four montbs, finally deciding that it would adhere to its former policy of building machinery for Americans only, and accordingly declined to furnish an es- timate. Since his arrival in this country Oshima has obtained bids for a number of con- tracts for such material as has not yet been contractea for. This may result in the expenditure of about a quarter of a million dollars. Mori is vice-president of the Nippon Railway Company, and his visit to this country has had better results for Ameri- can industries.
