would shortly be removed. A
Washington dispatch in the same

shows that the impression there is
that the allegations arr frivolous
and without foundation. There has
heeu no investi cation SO far. aud it
does not appear that there is likely
70 be any. 1t is stated the real
inspiration of the attack on Gov.
Hug hes, is the desire to injure his
chances for the senaturship. As
the situation now is the governor
is almost suie to be Que of the sen
ators when Arizona is admitted az
q state.
The leading candidate for the
other senatorship is Marcus Aure-
relius Smith, the pr. sent delegate
in congress from Arizona. There
are however, still other candidates,
and some of tn ir friends are be-
hind the attack on Gov. Hughes,
in the hope that they may be able
to klllhim of. Governor Hughes
obtained his appointment in spite
OF a good deal OF strong rivalry aud
some underhand opposition. He
was selected by the administration
mainly on the good impression he
created here. It does not appear
that the faith of the admlnistra-
ton has been at all shaken by the
stories put in circulation.
The so-caIl-d charges against
Governor Hughes were first made
public here when the case of j.
Hampton Hoge was under consid-
GRAFTON. The Virginia friends of
Hoge thought Governor Hughes
was to some extent responsible for
lis recall from San Francisco while
on his way to his Annoy consulship.
The Hughes matter was brought
out then, as it Was the expectation
that it would somehow help Hoge.
It did not work that way, for Hoge
was dropped. Then the fimsy
character of the alleged charges
against Governor Hughes was made
apparent. Hughes belongs 10 the
law aud order element of the terri
tory, and the practical politicians
it Is said, are willing to resort to
anything to down him if they can.

CHICAGO. July oh. A. Wideman.
Samuel Parker, j. A. Grmmins and Major

soon after their arrival at Washington.
In a general way" he said. ''our mis-
sion is for the good of the Islands, no mat
ter what is the Government. monarchy,
provisional or republican.
In addition 10 the credentials from the
eX-Queenathe party were armed with pass
ports from the new republic and hope to
accomplish their object.
Mr.. Wldeman added he had no doubt
the present Government of Hawaii was
aware Of the object of the commission and
that they syn mpathized with ii. Regarding
reports from Honolulu that the party bore
petition signed by Royalists requesting
annexation to the United States, Mr..
Wideman said MOP most emphatically.
While we all regard annexation as our
ultimate destiny, such thing is impossible
under the present form o. government"
Asked as TO the prospects for a restOra-
tiOn of the ex-Queen. Mr.. Wideman winked
significantly, but refused to make further
response. The party continued their trip

Striking Car-Builders to Quit
Model Town.
THE NEGOTIATIONS ALL MADE.
How a Powerful Corporation Pro-
poses to Enter Into the Palace
Car Business.

CHICAGO, July 29.-The Record will to-
morrow publish the following: If negoti-
ations now pending are carried to a sue
cessfuI termination the striking car-build-
ers at Pullman will quit Model Town" in
a body and become the employees of
powerful new corporation organized for
the manufacture of palace and freight cars
and day coaches.
For more than week secret communi-
cations have been passing between the
agent of the corporation in Chicago and
the strikers central committee. The offers
TO the men are in writing. signed by a
man of wealth and prominence in the busi-
ness circles of the city. The names of a
number of capitalists who are connected
with the enterprise are also mentioned to
give the communication greater weight.
Thus far the deliberations Of the cen-
trail committee and their replies to the ad-
yances made by the corporation have been
kept wholly secret, but it is known every
member is heartily in favor of the change
If reasonable terms can be agreed upon.
AS soon as the negotiations have reached
a more definite basis the matter will be
laid before the body of the strikers for
their sanction and approval.
The corporation which is making those
offers means business" said a man who
has had part in the negotiations, ''and if
a defnite arrangement can be made all of
the skilled mechanics at Pullman will be
hired in a body. They are thoroughly
familiar with the somewhat difficult task
of making cars and they could go right at
it without a moments delay, thus saving
new concern the thousands of dollars
which it would cost to get new men
started"
The names of those back of the offer
to the strikers Will be made public within
a week or two. but at present the members
of the central committee at Pullman are
silent. 1t is thought the corporation
negotiations is Identical TO the one which
filed articles with the illinois Secretary of
State early last week. 1t has a capital
issue of S5,0O0000. and Its works will be
located at st, Louis. Much of the money
back of the enterprise has been subscribed
by Eastern and English capitalists.

ANOTHER RIOT EASILY AVERTED.
Jamaicans Threatened Vengeance
Upon the Chinese and Americans,
but Were Forcibly Quieted.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July GA letter
from The Associated Press correspondent
al Bluefields, dated July %, shows that no
trouble had taken place there up to that
date.
The natives are keeping a close guard
on all the avenues and are awaiting
the arrival of the Nicaraguan troops.
General CapaZas is still at Rama, where
he is gathering troops. But on the date
mentioned he was said TO have been un-
certain as to his future course, owing to
advices from the interior describing an
uprising against Zelaya. headed by Gen
eral Ortiz, the commander of the Nicara-
guam army.
Between that rumOr aud the report OF
the declaration of war by Costa Rica the
natives regarded themselves safe from at
tack for some time to come.
The only excitement was caused By
Cabazas. under the cover of martial law,
preventing American ships and launches
from visiting Rama and holding the ves-
sells there pending his orders. Some Amer
leans escaped from Rama and commun-
Gated the facts to Captain O'Neill OF the
Marblehead, who armed his launch with a
rapid firing gun and made trip to Rama,
where he had an interview with CahaZas
and caused a revocation of the order to
hold the ships. Captain O'Nelll gave him
to understand that any attempt to inter
fere with citizens would be promptly re-
sented, and CabaZas promised to remem-
ber American rights in the future.
The British cruiser Mohawk. in COM
mand of Captain Stewart, arrived at Blue

the present Provisional Council, and thai
he would return from Port Limon, whittier
he WAS bound, in a few days, to land a
party of marines to assist the American
sailors in guarding the property aud per-
sons of foreigners.
There came very near being another
riot, owing to the fact that wealthy Chi
nese merchant killed a troubling Jamai-
can. The natives desired to lynch the
ChiuamaD, but the Americans guarded the
jail, and the Janaicans threatened ven.
geance upon the Chinese and Americans
both. Captain Stewart broke in upon a
meeting of the Jamaicans. who are Brit

case of any attempt at violence, which had
the effect of dispensing the mob.

meetings in England, she said, and as
result a lynching committee composed
of prominent people was formed in each

passed urging the American public to
abolish the barbarous outrage against hu-
man life. Miss Wells said the people of
the South are as bitter against the negroes
as they were before the days of freedom.
Concluding, she said THE lawless
lynchings in the South for alleged crimes
against the whites are in SO cases out of
100 a simple outrage against our race.
The press is in control of the whites, and
the attacks upon us are colored to suit
themselves. The colored people OF this
country should organize themselves.
They should at least contribute the
sinews of war with which to fight the
battle. 1t is our duty to see that every
story published from the South in which
negro is accused of some fiendtsh act and
lynched for it. is run down by our own
detectives, if necessary, and the other
side of it published. There are two sides

ALWAYS FOR ARBITRATION.
Debs Addresses a Big Audience at
Terre Haute.


TERRE HAUTE. Ind. July 29.-Packed
like sardines were the people who listened
to President Debs of the A. r. U. in the
opera-house tonight. Debs said that he
had always been in favor of arbitration
and opposed TO strikes until the gauntlet
was thrown down and an effort made to
crush organized labor and there was time
when not to strike meant degradation and
dishonor, and this was that time. He made
quite a lengthy address and was vOcifer-
ously applauded.
Mr.. Debs' statement was: g | want to
say that l did everything in my power to
prevent the Pullman strike"
Mr.. Debs declared he had no voice in or
dering the Pullman strike, and said he
was unalterably opposed to strikes. He
quoted from a Chicago paper of May,
1893 which showed, he said, that the gen.
eral managers of the roads had at that
time so organized themselves that SYM
pethy strikes on every railroad i'll Chicago
would be forced. Mr.. Debs entered largely
into the political features of the strike,
and declared himself PoDulist. Through
out Mr.. Debs' speech was temperate in
tone and clear in diction. His remarks
were so stirring as to frequently cause out
bursts of applause from the audience.
The labor leader did not admit defeat,
but, on the contrary, declared that the war
against Pullman would be carried to the
bitter end. He said further that so far as
he was concerned this would be the last
strike in which he would engage, and that
hereafter he would fight out the battle
along political lines, appealing to the bal
lot for restitution of the laborers' rights.

Mr.. Gompers' Editorial for the
FederatiOniSt.
lie Explains Why a Sympathetic
Strike of His Followers Was
Not Ordered.

NEW YORK, July 29.-Samuel Gompers
will publish in the August number of the
American Federationist an editorial on
the recent great strike. He says in part:
THE strike of the A. r. U. to inhuen ce
Pullman to submit to arbitration the
controversy between himself and his en-
pIoyes will long live in the memory of
man as one of the greatest labor struggles
in the history of the country. Like many
of its predecessors. it has failed OF its
Immediate object, but it has accomplished
more good in directing attention to the
underlying wrongs of modern society than
all the lectures and publications could
secure in a decade. Out of all the tumuIt
it has revealed TO the world the character
of one OF its noblest sons, Eugene V.
Debs. His earnestness, honesty and
sincerity no man doubts. 1t must be
borne in mind that the proposition he de-
sired to submit TO the Managers Associa-
ton contained no other condition than the
of the striking railroad
men. In other words, the question
which the men had come out for had
been abandoned; they were then
on strike for their positions. in view of
the fact the railroad men were asked to be
reinstated we submit to the calm judg-
ment of all whether 1t would have been
either wise. just or expedient to advise
our fellow-workmen of all trades through
out the country to lay down their tools
and quit work.
Apart from any other consideration of
this question, aye. eschewing for a mo-
ment the consideration of contracts en-
tered into between organized workmen
and their employers. and even putting
aside the excellent reasons given in the
statement already issued, we feel confident
that it would have been the greatest mis-
take, the most palpabe wrong ever in
flicled on the workers of our country to do
other than the conference did, and that
was to pledge our support to the men on
strike, while advising our fellow workers
not to enter into a sympathetic strike at
this time"

ALL KILLED OR DROWNED.
Details of the Sinking of the Chinese
Transport.


SHANGHAI, July 29.-Late this evening
further details Of the naval engagement
reached this city. The fighting though of
short duration was very severe. Prior to
the discharge of the torpedo from the Jap
anese warship the crew of the transport,
which was armed, and the military force
on board of her made hard fight against
the attacking force. Many of those on
board of her were shot dead on her decks.
When the vessel began TO sink there was
great excitement on board. In the confu-
sion no attempt was made to lower the
small boats. But even had such an attempt
been made the boats could have carried
only a small percentage of those on board.
Every foreigner on board was either
killed in the fighting or went down with
the vessel when she foundered.
The loss Of life was very great. Of nearly
1000 Chinese troops on board of her only
forty were saved. They were picked up
by French gunboat that was cruising in
the vicinity.
Only a short time elapsed between the
explosion and the laundering of the trans
port. The vessel went down suddenly near
Shopcent Island, at which place her COM
mander attempted to beach Ler.
The Tsao Khan. which was captured by
the Japanese, was an old man of war that
had been pressed into use as transport.
