AMERICAN DIPLOMACY.

The United States the Only Powerthat Achieved Diplomatic Sac-ce- ss

in the Chinese Affair.

New York, Oct. 14. Andrew D.White, ambassador to Germany, cameto this city from Ithaca last night.He expects to return to Europe bynext Tuesday's steamer. In speakingcf American diplomacy, he said:

One of the shrewdest members ofthe dqjlomatie corps in Berlin ex-pressed the opinion that this countrywas the only one that received anydistinguished success in the Chinesecrisis. The other governments thereproceeded on the theory that theirrepresentatives in Pekin had beenmurdered. Therefore, they were dis-posed 1o rush developments withouttaking any chance that the ministerswere alive.

"The government of the UnitedStates had assumed that the Chinesegovernmentwas nothostile. Theresultwas shown in this country receivingthe first news, the longest dispatchthat the ministers were alive. Anoth-er great stroke of diplomacy waswhen the foreign troops attackedTien Tsin the troops of'this countryheld aloof. The whole Chinese mat-ter shows the remarkabl e shrewd-ness and excellent diplomacy of thiscountry."

A PANIC IN THE MERSEY.

Singular Series of Accidents in theRiver Mersey With the Steamer

Veritas as the Nucleus.

Liverpool, Oct. 14. A singular se-

ries of accidents occurred in the Mer-sey. The Norwegian steamer Veritascollided with the Layland line steam-er Devonia, from Boston, October 3.Unsuccessful efforts were made tobeach the Veritas on the Cheshireshore, after which she was towed overto the Liverpool side, where the cableparted, and she collided with thesteamer Earl of Powys, causing thelatter to break from her moorings.Thereupon both steamers drifteddown the river and the Veritas crashed into two thick iron booms stretch-ed from the pier head at St. George'slanding stage. Everything above herdeck was carried away, and she isnow a submerged wreck. The Earl ofPowys, while drifting, smashed herboats, lost her propeller, and hercrew leaped upon the dock wall. Thesouth end of the landing stage wasextensively injured. The aggregatedamage will amount to thousands ofpounds.

MirKlnley'a Persistent Policy fSubjusation by Military

Conquest.

Dispatches from the Philippines areauthentic. They are from our ownoflicers there, and they make known aterrible condition of affairs. Over andover it has been asserted by the ad-

ministration that the war there isended. Now our officers are callingfor more men, saying the presentforces are inadequate to meet the in-

surgents and compel submission. Onebody of 90 United States soldierswas compelled on Monday to fight fortheir lives Avith 1,000 entrenched andarmed Filipinos, with a loss of aboutone-thir- d of their number. Gen. Mac-Vrth- ur

pays a glowing tribute to theirleroic defense, "the splendid responseof the men."

But compliments do not give us backour dead, and fine words do not healwounds, or restore lost health. Therewere, a few weeks ago, in the Philip-pines about 65,000 United States sol-

diers. There is nearly that numberthere now. growing smaller by fatali-.ie- s

numbering from 40 to 130 every.veek.

If there were no political unbeliev-?r- s

to satisfy and no "pride of the ad-

ministration" to cater to, does onethink that this merciless sacrificewould be tolerated? We made a fear-ful miscalculation when we undertookthe subjugation of these islands, andthey have proved an expensive burden,nd the death of thousands of young

nen. The srame is not worth the;andle

COST OF THE COAL STRIKE.

Interesting FIg-nre- s and Comparisons Which Set People

Thinking:.

The Helena Independent, of Helena,Mont., furnishes some interestingfigures in regard to the strike in theanthracite region of Pennsylvania.

It is estimated that if the anthracite coal strike shall last two monthsthe men will lose $8,000,000 in wages;the operators $20,000,000 and the rail-road companies a like amount.

Here is a curious condition, well illustrating the power of private mo-

nopoly to rob the producer, arbitrarily fix the terms and conditions oflabor, and appropriate the fruits ofindustry for the benefit of the fewat the expense of the many.

It is estimated that some 115,000or 120,000 workers will lose $3,000,000in wages, while a few monopolies willlose $20,000,000. In other words, thesefew monopolists will get two and ahalf times as much for mere owner-ship as the great army of laborersget for doing the work.

Every $100 got from mining andmarketing the cold is distributed asfollows:To the coal miners 16 66To the monopolists 41 67To the railroads 41 67

Total J10O 00

Leaving the railroads- - out of ac-

count, every $100 got for mining thecoal is distributed as follows:To the miners $28 57To the monopolists 71 43

The railroads get two and a halftimes as much for carrying the coalto market as the miners get for dig-ging it out of the ground.

"Private monopolies are indefensibleand intolerable," says the democraticplatform; and these private coal mo-

nopolies are an apt illustration ofthat declaration.

Mr. Hanna was more ingeniousthan honest in his attempt to damageMr. Bryan by declaring that he waspledged, in the event of his election,to permit one, if not two, members ofhis cabinet to be selected for him' byRichard Croker, the Tammany leader.The haste with which Mr. Hanna andthe republican organs have droppedthe charge is in itself a fine compliment to Mr. Bryan.- - It is an admission on the part of his bitterest political enemies that his word cannct beprofitably challenged.

Itatistics Taken from Fay RollsShowing Fluctuations Dur-

ing Ten Years.

Washington, Oct. 15. lion. CarrollD. Wright, commissioner of labor, hasissued a bulletin giving a summary ofdata in a previous publication on"trusts and industrial combinations,"showing the rate of wages in varionscombinations for a period extendingback, in most eases, from the presentyear to The data was secureddirectly from the pay rolls of estab-lishments:

RelativeTear. wag's.lSfl ; a 00 0018C2 00 30lb&3 S9 32

The bulletin concludes as follows:"It may be stated that during the

years in which the course of wagesdeclined the rates of 1891 and 1S92, inmany instances remained unchanged,and in like manner, during the lastfew years, in which the general courseof wages has been upward, the wagesin these instances have not, of course,responded to the general rise. Inother instances the per cent, was no-

tably large during the years of de-

pression, while during the last twoyears of the period the reverse istrue, and a much larger increase real-ly took place than that indicated bythe table. In other words, wages insome instances show but little fluctu-ations, while in other instances theyare much more sensitive, respondingquickly to general conditions of de-

pression or activity. The averagecondition or general level only isshown in the table, and while for thereasons stated the fluctuations duringthe period have not been so great aspopular opinion would indicate, thefigures for 1S99 and 1900 show a grati-fying average increase over the condi-tions of 1S91 and 1S92, when wages ingold were higher than at any periodin the history of the country prior tothe present year."

GENEROUS AND PROMPT.

Postal Employes Asked to Contributeto Their Brothers, Sufferers

from the Galveston Storm.

Washington, Oct. 15. Postmaster-Gener- al

Emory Smith recently re-ceived from Postmaster Griffin, of Gal-veston, a letter telling of thepecuniary and personal loss which j

had befallen the employes of his officeas a result of the terrible cyclone ofSeptember S, of the fearful strain un-der which they had been working dayand night since then and of the ad-mirable spirit which animated themen, notwithstanding their misfor-tunes.

Postmaster Griffin suggested that ifthe vast army of postal officials, clerksand carriers could know the true con-dition of the men at Galveston, asmall amount from each might becheerfully contributed, and wouldgive the needed relief; otherwise itwas to be hoped a beneficent govern-ment, "to whom we are loyal, willhear and answer this appeal."

To this communication ActingW. M. Johnsou bent

the following reply:"The department is in full sympathy

with the appeal of the postmaster atGalveston in behalf of the employesat that office who have sufferedthrough the terrible calamity whichhas overtaken them, and hopes thatresponses, by those who have not al-

ready contributed through some otherchannel, will be generous and prompt.I am gratified to learn that the actiontaken in this direction by the Nation-al Association of Letter Carriers ismeeting with a hearty response.

TO PREVENT EXTORTION.

Gov. Wood May Appoint a RailroadCommission Cuban Currency

Yellow Fever In Havana.

Havana, Oct. 15. Gov.-Ge- n. Wood isconsidering the advisability of ap-pointing a railroad commission to fixrates and regulate construction. Thisis due to numerous complaints of ex-cessive freight charges, instances be-

ing reliably reported where the ratesfor less than one hundred miles arehigher than those from New York toHavana with the duty added.

Senor Cancio, secretary of finance,urges the introduction of Americancurrency into Cuba, and the doingaway altogether with Spanish coin.He argues that the fact of there beingfour different kinds of currency, allhaving different rates of exchangeand none regulated by law, serves tocomplicate the financial situation andgreatly interferes with commercial in-

terests. He recommends a specialcommission to deal with the question.

It is generally admitted that yellowfever will increase in Havana, whenthe street are opened for the in-

stallation of the sewers, a work whichwill probably require three years.

The Battleship Wisconsin, on HerTrial Trip, Proved Herself

Queen of Her Class.

THE CLOSEST AVERAGE PUN EVER MADE.

From Start to Finish There Was Not j

a MarrlnK Incident Her MaximumSpeed iru 18.5--4 Knots, and HerAverage Speed for 64 Knoti 17.25Knots Per Hoar.

Santa Barbara, CaU Oct. 13. TheWisconsin has just completed themost successful trial trip ever madeby a battleship and she is pro-nounced the finest vessel ever turnedout by the Union iron works. At thestart many things seemed against asuccessful trial. An easterly windwas kicking up a choppy sea andthreatening a squally voyage.

After a Preliminary Spin.After a preliminary spin over a

short course the big vessel steamedfull ahead, passing the eastern bea-con at 10:20 a. m. at a speed exceed-ing 16 knots. The course was markedby the battleship Iowa, gunboatRanger, training ship Adams andcruiser Philadelphia. Between theHanger and Gavetier wharf the Wis-consin gained her maximum speed of

' 1S.54 knots an hour and maintainedthroughout the westerly course anaverage speed of 17.89 knots. The av-erage speed of the entire run, 64knots, was 17.25 knots per hour.

Her nearest Competitor.The only battleship approaching

this speed was he Alabama, whichaveraged 17.13 knots and attained amaximum speed of 18.03 knots. Theaverage of propeller revolutions dur-ing the western run was 119.34 perminute, and on the return 119.15, adifference of only .19 of a revolution.So close a run has never been madebefore. The average steam pressurewas ISO pounds and the vessel was un-der forced draught. The boilervalves lifted frequently. When at hermaximum speed the vibration wasslight, approximately the horse pow-er was 11,800. It is expected that thetidal corrections, when computed, willindicate greater speed than recorded,as the current was against the vesselfor a longer period than with her.

Tfot a Marring Incident.The weather continued squally,

some rain falling, until more thanhalf the course was completed. Afterturning at the western beacon offPoint Conception she had a white capsea, bows on, for nearly one-four- th

of the course. She shipped no waterforward, but the water rose in thebow wave 25 feet. From the start tofinish there was not a marring inci-dent, not an irregularity in the move-ments of the machinery. Withoutstopping the engines the trial boardtook charge of the ship, after the run,and put her through the required evo-lutions.

The concessions offered by the hardcoal trust to its striking miners em-

phasize the fact that the real war ison organized labor. The coal trust isbent upon the destruction of the Unit-ed Mine Workers of America.

Mark Hanna has shown that there isa close alliance between the coal trustand the republican party. In theinterest of the latter the former quick-ly agreed to pay the miners a triflemore money. But it tied a string tothis agreement. It would pay the ad-

vance. Yes. But it would do thisonly as the price of disunion. AndHanna accepted the condition.

So the miners may get a paltry tenper cent, increase of wages throughMark Hanna'sW powerful influence ifthey will consent to destroy their ownorganization. And when their organ-ization has been destroj-ed- , they maythen accept any terms the coal trustshall see fit to offer. They will thenbe powerless to resist.

Organized labor may make up itsmind to this: Organized monopoly hasdecreed its destruction. And the ac-tion of Mark Hanna in accepting J.Pierpont Morgan's condition, follow-ing President McKinley's suppressionof unionism in Idaho with UnitedStates troops at the behest of theStandard Oil trust, indicates plainlyenough that organized labor has itsdeadliest foe in the republican party.

DENOUNCES PROTECTION.

Methodist Rishop Says McKinley'sPoiicy Will Bring; Is to the Level

of the Chinese.

Methodist ministers heard a denun-ciation of the republican party's tar-iff principle by Bishop J. H. Thoburn,

TALKS.

at the Bock Biver conference, held atthe Garfield Park church, in Chicago,recently. The bishop, who has spent40 years in the orient, delivered thofirst of a series of lectures on theeastern situation, and he likened therepublican party to the Chinese.

"Our fathers never intended to builda Chinese wall around this nation,"he said, "by putting a duty uponthings, and keeping the foreignerfrom bringing in his goods. We aredoing as the Chinese have done forcenturies. We must get broader no-

tions about these matters. The Chi-

nese built a stone wall that theythought would keep out the foreign-ers. Our stone wall is the customhouses that we set out on our borders.

"Before I became a missionary I be-

lieved in the republican policy of pro-tection. I have learned that if a na-tion wants to survive it must openwide its doors and trade with theworld. Let our revenues be raisedfrom direct taxation. The true policyto be adopted in dealing with the peo-ple, of the east is to abandon the oldprinciples. Let us give up being asemi-Chine- se nation and excludingother people."

The bishop's attack on the republic-an party was made in connection withhis review of the Chinese and otherorientals.

He ascribed their lack of progressionto the isolation created by the protective svstem.

Republicans Changing: Views.The republicans used to be for bi-

metallism; now they are for the goldstandard. Republicans used to be-

lieve in the greenback; now they haveto turn over and say that they believethat bank notes are better. They usedto believe in the income tax; now theyare against the income tax. Theyused to oppose the trusts; now theydefend the trusts. They used to beagainst a large standing army; nowthey are for a large standing army.They used to be opposed to a largenational debt; now they stand for acurrency system that can only be permanent when based on a perpetualdebt. William J. Bryan.

William McKinley and WilliamJennings Bryan stand out in the boldest possible contrast as representatives of hostile forms of thought, ofopposite views regarding questions ofpublic concern. The democratic can-didate for president of the UnitedStates is the strong man of the people, the supporter of the constitution.The republican candidate is the weakand vacmatlhg creature of iue moneypower, the servant of overmasteringtrusts, the ambitious seeker after a--

imperial power, sternly forbidden bythe organic law which he has flagrantly violated. Philadelphia Times.
