WHAT JAPAN WANTS TO Do
Divide the Chinese Empire
Into Three Powers.
THEWAR NOW ONE OF CONQUEST
Chinese Soldiers Not Lacking
In Courage.


! WASHINGTON, Oct, "A prominent
diplomat who was once stationed in
China, and whose name would carry
weight because of his acquaintance
with Oriental affairs If diplomatic usage
would permit Its use, believes that the
division of China into three powers Is
the end Japan aims to achieve through
the war.
"That plan was known to be cherished
. by Japan eight or nine years ago." he
said. '"Certainly the war can no longer
BIO considered one to establish the indie
pendence of Corea, since that has been
gained. II has apparently become war
!, of conquest and it looks as though
China would soon be driven to appeal to
other nations to intercede in her behalf.
"The impression that the Chinese are
lacking in personal courage is incorrect.
Chinese Gordon said that he never
knew better soldiers than were the
Cinnamon when properly equipped and
led. 1t is a question mainly of leader
ship and organization, although one
factor to be taken into account is the
low esteem in which the military pro-
fession is held in China. The romantic
and chivairous ideas generally associated
with men of arms are wanting there, as
soldiers merely follow their calling to
ill their stomachs. While the lessons
of the war may lead China to adopt
eastern ideas so far as they concern the
organization and equipment of her army
and navy, there is little probability that
it will have any effect in changing her
complicated civilization which has en-
dured the test OF many centuries salts
factorily to her."

TIE CoRpAaR INDUsrRY.

The Truth About the Removal of the
Duty on Bagging-A False Statement
Corrected.
There appeared Tuesday in the edi-
torial columns of the Morning Neys
what purported to be notice posted in
the factory of the American Cordage
Co. of Brooklyn, notifying its men that
a reduction of wages might take place
as result of the action of Congress in
removing the duty on bagging. 1t was
stated that the importation into this
country of bagging free of duty would
probably alter the scale of wages paid
heretofore in the Brooklyn factory.
The editorial in the Nesos went on to
say: "By about November LIST, it will
be decided whether the mill can be run
at all, and if so at what rate of pay for
each class of employees" This an
nouncement was supplemented by the
statement that, 1.-THE managers Of the
Cordage Company appreciate the work
of the employees, and while thanking
each one, now wish to remind them that
it is only by extra effort and increasing
production that the mill can be kept
going"
OF course this may be campaign fiction
pure and simple. The probable object
is to cause dissatisfaction among the
workingmen by circulating the story
that reduction of wages may take
place about November LIST, or there
abouts. Thus ii can be seen that there
is an attempt to defer the matter of
wages until the time for the holding Of
the fall election with tho hope that tie
threat" may have some influence upon
the political convictions of the work
men at the polls. But beyond the
merest intimation that the wages of the
men are to be reduced, there is no posi-
tive statement that the scale of wages
is to be lowered at all.
In order to ascertain the effect of free
importation of bagging material on the
cordage trade in this country, q repre-
sentative of The GAZETTE Tuesday
called upon John I. Bailey of tho firm
of ]. Il. Bailey g. Co., Philadelphia.
There are $50 hands employed in the
establishment of the firm on Market
street and the factory together. All was
hustle and activity about the storchouse
and there was no sign OF dearth OF
business in tho whole industry. 1t was
| learned that :he scale of wages had not
been altered by the firm and no intima-
ton was gwen that e change in the
wage scale would follow.
When Mr.. Bailey was shown the no.
ticc purported to be issued by the
Brooklyn firm, he said:
THAT firth does not make the game
kind OF bags that we manufacture here.
1t is used for covering cotton, while the
commercial usage of our bagging is in
handling grains and cereal.
"Bagging is now imported from India,
Germany and Scotland free of duty. but
l am not prepared to give the exact
wage scale as exists in any of those
countries to-day. 1t is true that with
free raw material we can manufacture
bagging and put it on the market at less
cost than was the case when there was a
duty on jutc, hemp and bagging. We
are now running with about 75O men
and our scale of wages is the same as il
was before"
There was no dissatisfaction among
the workmen employed by J. It. Bailey
& Co., which is the largest cordage in
dustry of the kind in Philadelphia.

why the Levy Court Has Taken no Actor
in tho Matter.

The question is continually asked
why the Levy Court, which has been
authorized by the Legislature to erect a
work house in this county for the re-
ception of tramps and evil-doers, has
not taken action in the matter.
The reason is that the legislative en-
actnent while it authorized the Levy
Court to erect the building, made no
provision whatever for its acquiring the
property therefor, nor of its issuing
bonds in order to acquire means to erect
the building. 1t is understood that at
the coming session of the Legislature
some amendment will be asked for, af-
