Chicago, July 14.-After the morning
meeting of the executive board of the
railway union, President Debs and Vice
President Howard addressed a large
body of strikers at Ulrich's hall. There
was unanimous expression of confidence
in the governing body, and every striker
shouted his desire to continue out. The
announcement was made that 100 members
of the Brotherhood of Carmen had Joined
the strike at Little Rock, Ark, and that
there would be a general strike of the

CHIEF ARTHUR SCORED.
At another mass meeting of strikers
tonight Chief Arthur of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers was
called by one of the speakers "a traitor
and humbug," and a storm of applause
greeted the accusation.
The American Railway Union officers
said tonight that the order for a general
strike on the Great Northern road had
been sent to all points, and the union en-
ployes would all be out because the COM
pany persisted in handling freight from
the Chicago and Northwestern and st.
Paul roads. The threatened strike on
the Northwestern and St. Paul systems
had not materialized at late hour to-
night, so far as Chicago is concerned.

ceiver Failey. and to Receiver Failey be
set aside, was argued on demurrer before
Judge McMaster to-day. Referring to the
allowances allowed the lawyers and re-
ceiyer, Attorney Howe said that their
enormisy was almost incomprehensive and
method OF calculation was not clear. The
attorney said: "Wben it was considered
that the receiver did not personally per-
form all the duties. but had an army of
clerks at his beck and will at great
amount Of expense to the trust; had at
torneys galore in the citv of Indianapolis
who have been paid over $780, for their
services: had attorneys in all parts Of the
country at an expense of over SIG, 600, the
allowance to the receiver seems still more
enormous. But when it is considered that
at no time in two years has there been,
according to the records of this court, less
than 100000 deposited in the bank in
which the receiver and his bondsmen were
the owners, enormous is hardly the word.'
Attorney Howe did not charge fraud.

advisers also addressed the court. saying

after the first shock of surprise, mostly
watched the strange soldiers with
stolid indifference. though some villages
were deserted in panic, notwithsiand-
ing the efforts to reassure their occupants
by the distribution of placards prom

Very few disturbances occurre d, so

Several deserted camps were passed during
the opening days of Novem Der, but no
enemy was seen until the town of Kin

9th. A feeble show of resistance was here
made. but this ceased after a skirmish OF
two hours, the Chinese flying preciptately.

CRISP NOT HOPEFUL.
Little Can Be Done in the Short
Session.
Yet There Should Be Some Change in
the Financial System of
the Country.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. Ex-senator
VOORHEES,, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee. said to THE CALL correspondent
TODAY that it would not do to put sugar on
the free list in view of Carlisle's letter OF
several months ago, in which he said the
revenues would not meet the expenses of
the Government If sugar was made duty
free. Senator Voorhees, does not believe
there will be much tariff tinkering this
winter.
Speaker Crisp arrived to-day. He re-
CARDS it as desirable that something should
be done at the coming session Of Congress
tor the permanent adjustment of the
financial system. Whether such a thing
can be accomplished Is another question.
Speaking with represen tative OF The
CALL to-day. Judge Crisp said: 81 don't t
know what can be done in the way of
legislation at this session, but | fear not
as much as we should like. 1t Is very i'm
portant that there should be some legisla-
ton on finance. l am not prepared to pre-
dict what, if anything, may be done, but
ii must be apparent to every one that the
present situation should not be permitted
to remain long. Whatever suggestions the
administration has to make will be awaited
with great interest. Whether or not Mr..
Carlisle will present a proposition which
will meet with general approval no one
can say unit! the message goes in. A
fnanci al system which puts it in the power
of any one 10 deplete the treasury of gold
and compel the Government to increase its
interest-bearing obligations by the Issue
of bonds is vicious, and should be cor
rected as speedily as possible.
ut seems to me that the same influences
which during the long session put duty
on sugar will be able to prevent its repeal
during the short time there is left for this
Congress to leglslate."
DO you think there will be any measure
adopted to provide additional revenue?"
mo, l don't think any measurs of that
sort will be necessary. The present law, l
think, will produce abundant revenue
when it gets fully into operation. Itmust

YOKOHAMA, Nov. 1.-THE seventh ses-
sion of the Diet has been convened to
meet in Toxic December %. 1t Is not an
ticlpated that the proceedings will be so
harmonious as those of the extraordinary
session lately held at Hirosh shima. The sole

self free to resume its customary violent
attitude toward the Government. Only
under an extreme influence like that pro-
duced by the war could parliamen ary
quarrels be emporArily laid aside. 1t is
hoped that the attacks on the administra-
ton will not be carried to such an unlm-
tied excess as has been displayed in for
mer years, Tor the necessity of proclaim
ing another dissolution would be deeply
regretted during the progress Of hostilites
by China.
As previously reported. the Minister of
Foreign Affairs recently sent cOmmuni-
cation to the Governor Of the port of
Kanagawa, in which it was stated that
japanese subjects serving on board United
States ships in japanese ports must be re-
garded by the Government as coming uu-
der the jurisdiction of the imperial courts
whenever charged with Gffenses against
the law. AS this opinion is contrary to
the position maintained by the United
States, the Ques ti0n was brought up for
diplomatic discussion. 1t now appears
that the Foreign Minister had no intention
to deliver an ex cathedra judgment on the
subject. The native newspaper which
printed his letter TO the local Governor
has been fined 90 yen for publishing pri-
vate official document without permission.
In the course of the trial the prosecuting
attorney remarked that the "administra-
tive officials were not concerned with the
questions of jurisdiction and correspon-

only the individual views of writer's, the
legal point at issue was in no way affected
by the opinions expressed" The incident

LONDON, Nov. 30.-The trial of James
Frazier Jacques aud Howell Thomas.
charged with fraud in connection with the
claim of the TownIey estates, which has
been In progress here for three days. has
resulted in a verdict of guilty against both
the defendants. Jacques and Thomas were
sentenced each to twenty months i'm
prisonment at hard labor. Thomas. on
July 20 last, was sentenced To five years
penal servitude after having been con-
victed of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses and forging documents in connec-
ton with the case. A number of wit
nesses. including four business men of
Evansville, Ind. w. E. French. Charles E.
Scoville, Samuel G. Evans and Herman
EngIe, went to Europe TO testify against
the swindler.
Jacques victims in the United States
are said to be numbered by thousands,
and it is added that they are to be found
in cities all over the East. Jacques had
relatives in Evansville, Ind, and that
was one of the places where he told his
interesting stories about the many mil
lions which he claimed were wrongfully
held by the British Government from the
American heirs.
During the course of the trial Sir A. E.
Stephenson. the Treasury Solicitor, testi-
fed that there was not $4,000 900 or any
other sum iu the treasury belonging TO the
TownleY estate. Justice Hawkins. in
passing sentence to-day, said that the
prisoners had been engaged in about as
vile conspiracy as man could conceive.
The sentence of Thomas, who pleaded
guilty, runs concurrently with his five
year term of penal servitude.

DISORDER IN KOREA.
The Life of No Japanese Safe on the
Peninsula.

YOKOHAMA, Nov. 17.-Afairs IN Korea
appear to be in a very bad state, despite
official Japanese statements. The interfer-
ence of Japan to put everything to rights
appears to have had contrary effect by
putting everything wrong. Anarchy
stalks at large throughout. the southern
part of the kingdom. 1t is said that there
are armies of malcontents, ranging from
10000 to $4,000 strong. The entire popula-
ton may be said to be hostile to the occu-
patton of the Japanese. and though the
wretched King. who is as plastic clay in
the hands of the potter to be nodded at
will, has been directed to issue an edct
that every one is to be beheaded who SYM
pathizes with the Tong Haks or who
molests the japanese, but small heed is
to be paid to such a sweeping order. for,
II 1t were possible to carry it ou:, Korea
would lost very heavy percentage Of the
male population. However, the Japanese
friends of the country will more or less
try their hands at carrying into effect
what most people simply regard to be
their own order issued via the King.
November was ushered in by the as
sassnation of the vice-president of the
Law Department. This murder created
sensation in the capital. He was identi.
fed with the progressive Japanese party
and his savage taking off is said to be re-
garded as practical protest against Jap
anese reforms in general. Japanese po-
icemen have been stationed in the imme-
diate vicinity of the residences of the new
party, the anti-Mings. Count Inouye is
well guarded. for such is the temper of
the Koreans that his life may be leo
pardized. Altogether Korea is in cha
otic state of isorganIZstion.
1t is strange that while times have been
so exciting next to nothing is ever heard
of the two foreign advisors. General lie
Gendre and Mr.. Greenhouse. The former
was stated in q native newspaper to have
been dismissed and 1t was reported that
their salaries were two years In arrears.

not taken and they were not paid. owing

to the emptiness of the Korean exchequer,
it is matter for surprise that they should
continue to remain. The position ap-
pears to be neither an enviable nor dig
nif1ed one.
The particulars relative to the assassi-
nation of KIN Kaku are these: On Octo-
to Der 81, while KIN was conversng with
three friends In his room. a person entered
and said he wished to speak on important
business, and, after he had ascertained
which of them was Vice-Minster, the in
truder gave a signal, and seven men
rushed into the room with drawn swords.
First cut was made at one of Kin's visi-
tors, and then the seven together attacked
Kin kaku. dispatching him in few min
utes. The three visitors were also cut al,
but escaped.
