CHINESE FIGHT IN TACOMA.

representing Chinese house, today con-
ferred with the agent of the Northern
Pacifc's new steamship line to the Orient
and others regarding the attitude of
Tacomans toward allowing Chinese
merchants to locate here. On arriving at
the depot he was told that there was no
law here for n Chinaman, but he said he
had business here, and went ahead and
attended to il, and no one molested him.
He stopped at the Tacoma hotel. and is
not sure yet if he will report in favor of
Chinese merchants coming here. He ad-
mits that if Tacoma has no use for
Chinese the Chinese have no use for
Tacoma. His firm do not propose to bring
coolies here, but only such Chinese as are
useful in the carrying on of their business,
that of handling silk, teas, flour, ETC., both
wholesale and retail.
The Trades Council tonight adopted
resolutions opposing allowing Chinese to
locate here in any capacity. The Chinese
are referred to as ga pestilential social ele-
ment, and their coming calamity to be
avoided. Citizens are taking sides on the
subject, and there is talk of violence on
both sides should an attempt be made to
secure lodgment for the Chinese here. 1t
is noticeable that many employers favor.

Committee of Fifteen is charged with out
living its usefulness on the one side, while
the committees admirers declare it to be
of great influence.
One side says that if the Chinese mer-
chants come they will be protected, and
the other declares that they will be mobbed
and driven out of the city should they
come. 1t is held by some that if the
Chinese come as merchants, the city will
be overrun with them. A large crowd
went to the Twelfth street depot at IL 80
tonight in anticipation of the arrival of
several Portland Cinnamon.
The train was delayed below Chehalis
by an accident and came in late. The
engine struck a bull and the mail car was
thrown from the track, but nobody was
injured. There were no Chinese on the
train.

THE UNRULY SULTAN OF FEE.
He Insults the British Envoy, Mutilates
the Treaty and Offers q Bribe.


LONDON, July 21.-The Times today pub
fishes advices from the British camp at
Fee to July 16. These advices confirm the
reports of failure of Sir Charles Smiths
mission. which it is said was due to
French intrigue. 1t is said French mis-.
sion will visit Fee in September.
A dispatch from Tangiers giving de-
tailed account o. the experiences of the
British missions, says: after the attack
on the mission the sultan received Sir
Charles Smith in great agitation and
said he must come TO the palace with
his people as he (the sultan) was power
less to protect him at the mission, and he
was sure the British would be killed. Sir
Charles replied that the whole mission
might be massacred, if the sultan per-
mitted it, but assured him that there would
be another British minister in Fee within
month, accompanied. by a better
equipped staff, and added significantly
that there would not be sultan in Fec
then. The sultan appeared astounded at
the ENJOYS manner, and repeatedly ap-
pealed to him to remain at the palace. but
Sir Charles adroitly changed the con-
versation to the subject of the treaty,
and the sultan Immediately said he would
sign it. Sir Charles then asked for the
punishment ef the rioters, ETC., as already
published, and it was readily granted.
When Sir Charles was leaving the sultan
accompanied him to the door of the pal
ace, which is a great breach of Moorish
etiquette.
When the treaty was finally signed. Sir
Charles found that certain of the condi-
tions had been tampered with, prac-
tically nullifying its effect. When he
demanded an explanation the minis
ter of war said the alterations
had been done by the suitan's order, and
that he had been authorize to offer Sir
Charles $3.50. 900 if he would sign the treaty
as it stood. Sir Charles thereupon ordered
him out of the embassy, tore the bogus
treaty into pieces, and prepared to
return to the coast. BY the sultan's or
ders, however. all the horses and mules
belonging to the mission were stolen. Sir
Charles procured swift horse for mes
senger, and hearing of this the sultan re-
turned the stolen animals. On the fol-
lowing day Sir Charles departed for the
coast, despite the entreaties of the sultan.
ROME, July 21.-The Capitdle says that
all the European powers will concentrate
naval squadrons at Cadiz in order
to be ready to proceed to Morocco,
where the question between France
and the sultan is becoming complicated
and threatens to cause discord between
France and the powers interested in main
tanning equilibrium on the Mediterranean.
TASGIER, July 2l.-Desperate fighting
has taken place between Angherite tribes
men and Moorish troops. The result of
the battle is unknown. The insurgents
set fire too and destroyed three villages,
Zenats, Zalaween and Kalaya

EXCITING CHASE OF sMUGGLERs.


SOUTH BEND, July 2l.-[Special. The
suspicious which have been rife that Will
lapa harbor was the base of operations of
smugglers proved this morning to be far
from groundless. On Monday evening
Deputy Collector of Customs G. L. Dalton,
who had only entered upon the duties of
the new office that morning, went over to
North Cove, fifteen miles distant, accom-
panied by Captain Stream. Information
had been received that some Cinnamon
and opium would be smuggled in Tuesday
morning. Captain Brown. of the life-sav-
ing service stationed at North Cove, kept
a sharp lookout throughout the night for
the expected schooner. Nothing was seen,
and in the morning there was heavy fog
on the bar. Later in the day there sud-
denly appeared in a rift in the fog large
Columbia river fishboat, well in the bay
and having evidently come over the bar.
The surf boat was run out and manned by
the life crew, headed by Captain Brown.
Captain Olsen, OF the tug Coleman, had
steam up, and towing the surf boat he
gave chase. The fish boat headed for
Stoney Point and the sands. Unfortu-
nately sudden squaIl came up, and as
sisted by this she reached shoal water here
the tug could not follow. The surf boat then
began the chase, but the fishing boat was
too swift. The moment the latter boat
reached very shallow water where it was
possible to wade the occupants of the boat,
consisting of sixteen Cinnamon and one
white man, leaped out, made the shore
and disappeared in the forest. In this
boat they abandoned bundles of clothing,
provisions, etc.
Soon after the deputy's party had re-
turned to North Cove a schooner was
sighted entering the bay. 1t proved to be
the schooner South Bend which has os-
tensibly been engaged in deep sea fishing,
coming TO South Bend about once a month
with a few dollars worth of fish. She has
long been suspected of being engaged in
smuggling operations. She was overhauled
and seached but nothing was found.
The incident avove related is generally
considered TO be good evidence of the need
there was OF a SUPPORT of entry on Willapa
harbor.

Homestead Strikers Show Their
Contempt for Militia.
wEIHE AND PATTIsoN CONFER.
The Carnegie Company Not Making
Much Progress Toward Resuming.
Hugh O'Donnell States the Case for tho
Amalgamated ames
Frick for tho Trouble-Why the
Workmen Have Rifles.

HOMESTEAD, July 2L-A secret confer
ence Of over an hours duration was held
tonight between Governor Pattison. Presi-
dent Weihe, of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, and W. ]. Brennan, legal adviser of
the strikers. AT its conclusion neither of
them would say word as to the nature of
the discussion. tits said, however, that
removal of the troops from Homestead
and the bearing of that matter from each
possible standpoint was gone into. Weihe
and Brennan denied that threats of any
kind were made, and are reported to have
stated privately to friends that if the con-
terence proved as satisfactory as they
hoped the whole trouble would soon be at
an end. The best information obtainable
as to the governors views, however, is
that no such roseate view is justified, and
that the troops will not be moved until
workmen can enter and leave the mills at
will, unarned and unharmed.
There has been much friction between
the people and the soldiers today. Early
in the day one of the colored cooks of the
Eighteenth regiment. getting little too
much beer into his system, became tired
of camp life and concluded to go home.
He was captured by a patrol near the
depot and lively scene ensued. A large
crowd gathered, and Company G, of the
Eighteenth, was ordered to disperse the
people. This was done, to put it mildly,
in very brisk manner. The strike lead
ers were promptly on hand, and mad q
hard time to prevent some of the men,
who had been drinking, from attacking
the soldiers. The strikers went to their
headquarters and some, still feeling sore
about the matter, are said to have spit
upon soldiers stationed in front of the
building. This is asserted by the military
and denied by the strikers. At any rate a
soldier suddenly appeared in the advisory
committee rooms and delivered himself of
this remarkable communication:
Gentlemen: Colonel Green presents his COM
piiments and says if any more spit is spat out of
the windows onto any body the whole building
will be shut.
The soldier saluted and withdrew, and
then ensued complicated discussion on
the question of expectoration, finally end
ing by posting a notice calling upon the
men to expectorate on the floor and not on
the street. Some Hungarian workmen
later came in and asserted that when on
the way to picnic they were rndely dis
persed and sent back by militiamen.
Proyo-Marshal Greek claims to have heard
nothing of this.
All sorts of rumors are still rife about
ODonnell's trip to New York, the latest
being that he had conference with ex-
President Cleveland and the Democratic
national committee

property is in danger. 1 would advocate

property is in danger. l would advocate
moral suasion.
The Homestead outbreak was not an or
binary one. 1t was not one of those affairs
IN which men participate only to accom-
pllsh injury to life and property without
any definite object in view. Homestead is
the abiding place of trained and skilled
men who earn livelihood in one of the
greatest manufacturing establishments in
the world. Their interests are centered
here and they were aroused when it be-
came known that the Carnegie Steel Com
pany intended to import armed men into
peaceful community without sufficient
cause
As to some of the better ways of settling
wage disputes, think that conferences or
arbitration should be resorted to. When
poth sides take determined stand confer
ences are useless, and again, when one side
shows willingness to make certain con-
cessions and the other side does not, we
find ourselves i'll dilemma. With such
feeling existing as l have cited. think
arbitration the only solution to the
problem.
On the question of settling labor dis
putes by arbitration it may not be out of
place to quote Andrew Carnegie, who on
this point says: 81 consider that of all
the agencies Immediately available to pre-
vent wasteful and embittering contests.
which cannot otherwise be averted be-
tween capital and labor, arbitration is the
most powerful and most beneficial"
Organized labor is certainly entitled to
most respectful recognition, and its de-
mands should always be given due con-
sideration. To quote from Mr.. Carnegie
again:
''The right of the workingmen to COM
bine and form trades unions is no less
sacred than the right of the manufacturer
to enter into associations and conferences
with his fellows, and it must be sooner or
later conceded. Indeed, it gives one but
poor opinion of the American workman
II he permits himself to be deprived of
right which his fellow Engllshman has
conquered for himself long since. NY ex-
perience has been that trades unions upon
the whole are beneficial both to labor and
capital. They certainly educate the work
lngman, and give him truer conception
OF the relations of capital and labor than
he could otherwise form. The ablest and
best workmen eventually come to the
front IN these organizations"
In conclusion / would say that it Is
worthy of note that the strained relations
which exist at Homestead today between
capital and labor have in no manner been
brought about by any unreasonable de-
mands nor uuwise action upon the part
of the workmen. The facts show that the
latter have been unusually generous and
reasonable in their endeavors to bring
about an amicabie settlement of the dis
pute. HUGH O'DoNNELL.

the works operated by the same company.
There is no change in the situation at the
Carnegie Union mills. The Beaver Falls
mills are still shut down.

victory for Wilson, who will have two
