 The house is jsmmed and the performance will soon begin, says writer in the St. Lou is Globe, describing Chinese theater. A musician is beating drum monotonously, and young Chinamen are calling to each oth- CT from side to side. Above the stage is a box hung with lanterns and profusely deco- rated. In it is an altar smoking with in- cense and lighted with apparently countless candles. At the outer end of the theater, near the entrance, is another altar arranged in the same way. Boys are moving among the audience selling confections, and there are plenty of buyers. One gallery is set apart for women. This is packed, and the toilets sld, blue, green and yellow make tho scene brilliant. On a central pillar notices are from time to time hung that are frequently consulted One tells that Bow Lung is wanted at home quick, as his wite is sick.

FEDERATION OF ALI LABOR.

 Povvderly Starts a Movement Whose object is to Unite All Labor Organ- fxat10Ms-Messages of FrAterRal Sym- pathy Sent to Two Great Brother hoods.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 19.-The Call this eve ming says: An effort to secure the fraternal cooperation of all the labor organizations ia this country is being made with very fair prospect of success. It has been known for some time that leaders of several of the large organizations were ready to accept the olive branch from the heads of kindred societies, but up to to day no one had taken the initia- tive. General Master Workman Powderly to-day made the first movement by sending telegrams to the conventions of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers at Richmond and the Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen, which is in session at Columbus. The dis patch to Chief Arthur is as follows:
 PH1LADELPH1A, Oct. 19. P. M. Arthur, G.C.E.B. of L. E., Richmond,
 Va:
 Accept fraternal greeting and best wishes for successful session. Will your convention consent to fraternal corporation with other labor organizations to the end that all dis putes may be properly and equitably adjust ed? The time is now at hand when all labor organizations on this continent, forgetful of the past, should cooperate on essentials for the welfare of all. Our hand is extended in friendship. (Signed)
 T. V. PowDERLY, G.M.W.. K. of L.
 The following despatch has been sent to the annual convention of the Brotherhood of Brakemen at Columbus: Cannot steps be taken to affect an understanding between all labor organizations that the interests of all can be guarded through cooperative efforts in cases of dispute and seeking legislstions May suceess croWn your efforts.

DowDERLY HOPEFUL OF SUCCESS.


 'T expect good results from this," remark ed MT. Powderly this afternoon. Shortly after the Burlington strike began several prominent members of the Brotherhood came to see me at Scranton, and our interview was such as to convince me that something could be done to bring about better state of feel ing between the two organizations. We are already working in conjunction with the Brotherhood on the Union Pacific and are ready to cooperate with them on all others. Nor does this refer only to the engineers, 6remen and brakemen, but to all other labor organizations. am in favor of a federation of all. There is not room for two warning labor. organizations in this coun- try, but there is room if they work together for the common good for all. am ready to go as far as any man to bring about this union, and I am satisfied that the men ct the head of other labor organizations have the interest of the men whom they represent as much at heart as profess to have, and certainly expect to see all working in har- mony in a very short time"

THEY TRIED TO CORNER LEAD.

! Nathan Corvv1lh X Go. sink s2,OOO, 900
 i'm a Futile Attempt to Rule she Lead ! Market.
 Corwith & Co.,, the biggest lead firm in the l world, to corner the lead market, and their I consequent embarrassment, causes great in- l terest in financial circles. Their liabilities 1 are supposed to exceed $2,O00,0O0. The as- l sets consist of small amount of pig lead in various warehouses, bills receivable for an unknown amount and real estate. The sheriff to-day attached $500, 900 worth of real estate
 which it is thought will amply protect local
 creditors. Comment has been caused by the fact that transfers of $235, ,000 of real estate
 has been recorded within two days by Mir. Corwith's agent. It is known that transfer of $80, 900 worth of real estate in August and recorded this week caused the attachment by the Union National bank.
 The firm of Cerwith 6 Go. was started thirty years ago and Nathan Corwith, ST. has been identified with the lead interests of the United States during his entire business ca reer. He had @ national reputation in this branch of trade, and during the height of his commercial success, some ten years ago, was known as the "lead king" He went to New York few years ago on account of his health. His son Gordon, who was @ member of the firm, was a well known figure on the Chicago board of trade and dashing man about town beside. Gordon Corwith's specs ulations in the wheat pit were not a financial success. He became involved in a good sum 80 much that the senior deemed change in the firm advisable.
 Last year the firm met heavy losses said to have aggregated $400, ,000, owing to decline of $7.00 ton in lead. This year prior to the beginning of the present disastrous deal their losses it is estimated figured up $25O,- 009. The futile purchases for the corner are thought to exceed $2,0o0. GOO and to carry this load the firm paid higher rates of interest for loans than the usual quotation for com- mercial paper. Exaggerated statements of MT. Corwith's wealth have been published. A conservative banker says he would have put it day or two ago at one million net.
 NO SYMPATHY FOR CoRNERKRs.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-It is positively stat ed that no New York banks will be affected by the Corwith failure. No statement has been made by the firm. Outsiders are at sea as to the liabilities and guesses range from $1 ,0OO, ,OOO to $5, ,000, ,00O. No sympathy is entertained for the sufferers, as it is felt an injury they sought to do others has recoiled { mon fhaT0selves
