FIRED UPON by GUARDS.
The sealery Difficulties In siberia

SAN FRANCISCO, October THE
steamer Alexander, which arrived sun
day night from Siberia, brought further
news concerning the firing upon the
crew of the schooner G.. G.. White, off
Cooper island. The officers of the Al
eXander say that when the schooner
appeared of Cooper island she sent
six boats toward the beech. They
were warned away, but no at
tention was paid to the warning.
and as the sealers persisted in trying To
land they were fired upon by the guards,
first with blank and then ball cartridges.
The Alexander brought down 900 seal
skins for the Alaska Commercial Co.
The company's contract with the
Russian government having expired, it
would be renewed for ten years, instead
OF twenty year.
a number OF Americans at Yokohama
and other japanese ports are fitting out
vessels to go seal hunting under the
British, German and japanese flags.
Next year the Russian government pro-
poses to protect the rockericS. Five
Russian war vessels are now cruising
in Behring sea with instructions to per-
emptorily seize any vessel found
sealing within the prescribed shore
limits which is miles. 1t is stated that
vessel which recently started on sealing
cruises will not cruise in the Behring
sea proper. They will station them
selves at a narrow pass called Unimak,
through which seals pass on the way TO
the roOkeries, and there slaughter them
by wholesale The knowledge Of this
fact Influenced the Alaska company in
making contract for 10 years instead
OF 90, as heretofore. as the Siberian
rookcrieS will suffer severely.

HIGHER POWERS WILL ACT.
Future Meeting of the Supreme Council
of Federation.

Chicago, October "A meeting of
the Supreme Council Of the Federation
of railroad employees has been called at
Houston, Tex, next Thursday, to con-
slider the employment Of colorcd switch
men on the Houston Il TeXos Central
railroad Grand Master Wilkinson has
been on the scene. but has been unable
to accomplish anything. because the
company refuses to discharge the men.
This will be the first session Of the
council since the council declined to
order strike on the New York Cen
tral railroad. at Mr.. Powderly's re-
quest. A strike on the Houston ~
Texas would involve all of the Hunting
ton lines In the Southwest. Grand Sec
retary DebbS said before leaving: "ltis a
serious question involving the rights of
the negro. II is the first time the race
question has entered into the con
sideration of grievance brought before
the Federation. He said that not on,
of the railroad organizations accepted
col0rcd men as members. There ar,
many cOlored lircmen. brakemen and
switchmen in the South, but the colored
man is not made an engineer or cOnduc-
to.. Tho white employees are endeav-
oring to raise the wages in the South,
but colored labor can be gotten cheaper.
They have organizations, but are not
permitted to affiliate with white organi-
cations.
Owing to the conditions existing in
the South the questions to be consid-
cred by the Council will be grave ones.

on her arm cried out:
What fools you men are. Why don
you run aud ring the bell and notify the

Three or four started, but they had
not crossed the street when the child
lost its balance, and pitched out head
first. There was murmur OF horror,
but IL was checked a. the fall Of the
child was stopped two feet below the

a leather strap buckled about his right

CoLUNBUS, O., October 7.-It seems
90 be generally conceded that the Legis-
lature. when IL meets in special session
here next week, may pass into matters
not included ia the object OF its call,
and If so the StorrS township case may
receive attention.
Governor Campbell suggested that
there was no reason why the matter he
wished 90 submit should require more
than one day TO dispose of il. but the
general impression is that the session
will Dee stormy one and will run into
DAYS n not into weeks. Governor
Campbell is using every precaution lest

1T WAS ONE-sIDED.
The Result of the First Pendleton- Hub
bard Joint Debate.

Special IttegFQfit 70 me He1tSter.
BURNsvILLE, w. VA, October 7.-As
advertised. John O. Pendleton and w.
F. Hubbard met in joint debate here to-
day To say that it was all one-sided is
putting il mildly. The Burnes mill
was the appointed place, and it was
filled TO its utmost capacity. The
crowd was estimated at five hundred.
and about equally divided between Re-
publicans and Democrats. To say that
Pendleton is gaining ground is only a
rc-echo Of what we hear from his meet
ngS held before.
The time to-day was divided as fol-
lows: From o'clock to Mr. Hubbard
spoke, and from o'clock to APO Mr..
Pendleton, and from 4:2O To 4:5O Mr..
Hubbard, and from 4:50 to ) Mr.. Pen
dleton.
Promptly at two o'clock Mr.. Hubbard
began to speak. He thanked the audi
encc for coming to hear them from a dis
tance, and wanted to know of Congress
man Pendleton what claim he had be-
fore the people. Mr.. Hubbard's eloquent
appeal for the farmers vote fell fiat,
as indeed his whole speech did. lie
made the startling announcement that
the tariff was Que of the leading issues
of the campaign and the Republican
policy was To protect the producer,
while thato the Democrats was all in the
interest of the consumer. He pictured
in glowing terms the life of the
farmer under Republican rule, but of
the many old farmers present none were
able to recognize the life as pictured by
Mr.. Hubbard, and they are still of the
opinion that the tariff is tax.
Mr.. Pendleton'S speech was an un-
usually able effort and was well received.
He discussed the tariff in Il clear and
forcible manner, presenting many facts
and figures to show the inconsistency of
the position taken by Mr.. Hubbard and
his party. He answered Mr.. Hubbard
so completely that even the most doubt
full were fully convinced that
the present tariff is n most gross
injustice to the farmer. Every statement
and assertion made by Candidate Hub
bard was answered frankly and hon
eStly. 1t is generally admitted by all
who heard the discussion that PEN
dletOn badly wOrSted Hubbard, and
the Democrats claim that PEN
dleton made several converts.
think Mr.. Hubbard and the rest of
the Republicans feel that Pend!eton
carried off the laurclS. Pendleton was
applauded frequently while speaking.
and it can be truthfully stated that Hub
bard received very little applause.
Mr. Hubbard challenged Pendleton
to meet him in joint debate in
every county in the district.
Pendleton replied that his engage
ments would not permit of this but,
would be more than delighted to have
Mr.. Hubbard meet him whenever con-
venient at his appointments.

Guatemalans aud Salvadorans Fight ON the

CITY OF GUATEMALA, October Nd
vices received here say the Guatemalans
aud Salvadorans are fighting again on

1t is said that war has again been
