CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Eugene V. Debs
left Terre Haute early Wednesday
morning. On his arrival in Chicago
four hours later he was greeted by
number of friends at the depot In
the afternoon he addressed an audience
of $500 persons in Uhlich's hall Men
struggled with each other to get places
on the stairway outside, the hall being
densely packed before the strike leader
arrived. When he entered scene OF
wild enthusiasm ensued. The crowd
yelled itself hoarse and for five minutes
the air was full of hats, handker chiefs
and cheers. The scene was repeated
when Mr.. Debs left the hall.
In his speech he denounced the rail-
roads, the judiciary and the two old
parties. He declared the Santa Fe
railroad had robbed the people of
81 ZOO, 900. and that the Judiciary was
under the influence of money. He said
instead of this being government "of
the people, for the people and by the
people," it was a government "of the
corporations, for the corporations and
by the corporations. He advised every
man to vote the populist ticket this
fall, and declared that if the populists
proved corrupt the workingmen could
abandon that party also, and form

Commonwealers in Hoe.

P1rTsBuRG, Aug. 9-Jeffries' army
from Washington state had quite an
exciting time in Pittsburg and vicinity
Tuesday. Fourteen commonwealers
were arrested in Allegheny for trying
to board freight train and were sent
to the workhouse for sixty days. A
number of others were locked up in
this city for begging. Jeffries ex-
planned the Coxey movement to large
crowd of people on the river wharf, and
denounced Cleveland for interfering
with state rights and said ex-President
Harrison was just as bad.
Jeffries and his army went to Home

WAR DECLARED.
Japan Formally Promulgates Her
Declaration of War.
An Apology rendered to the British Gov
ernment by the Japanese Mloister
ut London for the Sinking OF
the KoW Shing.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Japan yesterday
made formal declaration of war upon
China. Lord Kimberley, secretary OF
state for foreign affairs, Immediately
upon receipt of notice from the Japan
ese government that war had been de-
clared, wired all British representa-
tives abroad to warn captains OF mer-
chant ships of the fact in order that
they might form their cargoes and act
accordingly.
The Japanese minister waited upon
Lord Kimberley at the foreign Office
yesterday and expressed the regret OIL
his government that it was not until
after the engagement between the Jap
anese cruiser and the Chinese troop
ship Kow Shing that it was ascertalned'
that the latter was British vessel
The Japanese minister rendered tor-
NAL apology on behalf OF his govern
ment and promised full reparation for
the affair.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 2.-On the morning
of July u, the day after the attack on
the Chinese transports which resulted
in the sinking of the Kow Shing, the
Japanese warships Takach no and Ill
vel made an attack on the Chinese iron
clad Chen Yuen. After long and des-
perate fight the Japanese vessels were
beaten off, the Hiyei being disabled
and rendered helpless. The Chen Yuen,
though badly damaged, succeeded IN
reaching port in safety, accompanied
by two gunboats which also took part
in the engagement, and Immediately
went into drydock for repairs.
LONDON, Aug 2.-The dispatch from
Shanghai announcing the attack upon
the Chinese warship Chen Yuen on July
27 is regarded here as clearing up the
dispatch of Tuesday stating that the
Chen Yuen had been sunk, the Chlh
Yuen and Ching Yuen captured and the
Foo Tshing probably destroyed. From
this it would appear that there had
been no engagement on July 80 and
that none of the Chinese ships engaged
had been sunk or captured. This view
is entertained at the Chinese legation
, here.
The Chinese legation is in receipt Of
advices that the Foo Tshing did not
, take part in the battle OF July %, and
. is informed that Col. Won Henneker
, and an English officer on board the
Kow Shing were saved when the trans
port sunk.

highest and Lowest States.

Every schoolboy knows which is the
smallest and which is the largest state
in the Union, but how many know
which is the lowest and which is the
highest? According to the recently
announced results of measurements
and calculations made by the United
States geological survey Delaware is
the lowest state, its elevation over sea
level averaging only sixty feet. Col
orado is the highest, averaging six
thousand. eight hundred feet above
the sea, while Wyoming is a close sec
ond, only one hundred feet lower than
Colorado. In minimum elevation Flori-
la and Louisiana dispute for second
place after Delaware, their average
elevation being, for each, one hundred
feet. Taking the United States as a
whole, our country lies above the aver
age elevation of the land of the globe.

Elasticity of Steel.

Three cylindrical steel posts. one and half
inches in diameter and ten feet long, were
placed in vertical position upon steel disk at
the Sellers works recently; the three posts ar
ranged in the form of a triangle; on Top of these
was placed another steel disk, and arrange
ments were made by which a pound weight
could be very carefully placed upon or removed
from the upper disk. An electrical contact
was arranged in such manner that any di-
mlnutIon of length of the columns would cause
a bell TO ring, ana it was found that This pound
weight was sufficient 10 make and break the
contact. the bell continuing TO ring so long as
the weight was in place and stopping whenever
it was removed. By experiments made on
specimens Of The same bar of steel. and by cal
cuatiOn 1t was determined that the steel bars
were compressed about liza, 100000 Of an

showed that even the lightest strain cannot be
imposed upon such materials without a cores

not be disregarded according to circumstances,

That Is What Sheehan Says Hap

SACRAMENTO. July 6.-General Shee-
han, who is in command of the troops
here, was seen by the Associated Press
this afternoon. In answer TO a question
he said that, az far as he knew, no further
attempt would be made to disperse the
strikers by the militia. 1--WE are awaiting
orders from Marshal Baldwin," be said,
and until he issues the command
the troops will remain at the arm
ory." Continuing. he said: Baldwin
seems to have lost his head since the ex-
element last Wednesday. He had an op-
portunity to distinguish himself, bnt al
lowed it to slip from his grasp. On ac-
count of sympathy many soldiers have for
the strikers it would be the height of folly
to again order them to clear the depot
have been informed that the strikers are
in possession of large number of Win
chester rifles and to attempt to disperse
them would result in bloody riot. 1t is
my opinion that the regulars at Los An
geleS will be ordered to this city to sup
press the strikers. Should they be sent
here and an attempt be made to over
power the rioters blood will surely fiow."

Murphy of Del Norte arrived in this city
this morning. having made the trip by
wagon. He says that all along the line of
the road travelled the people announced
their determination to come to Sacramento
and render al possible aid to the strikers
in the event of the United States troops
being called out. These men. he says,
represent every occupation. and are not
only determined, but responsible, and
in position to make good their declara-
ton.
In this connection it may be men toned
that farmers and orchardists in the Sacra-
mento Valley. though they have sustained
serious loss by reason of the tie-up, are
anxious to assist the men should it be
necessary. James Camp. farmer living
east of the city, said to FL. f. Knox, who
is leading the strikers in their fight, that
at moments notice he would drive a
band of beef cattle into the city and sup
ply them with meat, while others in his
neighborhood would contribute other sub
stantias. Camps offer was gratefully re-
ceived. but as yet the men have not felt

The encyclical is addressed to the people

'Forgetful of past viclssitudes, let them

own churches with this church and see to
what a pass religion has come with them,
they will admit readily that. having for
gotten the primitive traditions in several
important points, the ebb and flow of vari-

and they will not deny that of the truths
which the authors of this new state of

In regard TO the church's relation to
the State the sncyclical says: This
liberty, however, need not arouse Tres

pires TO no power and ebeys no

what is worse, no efforts are spared to

BALDWlN'S STATEMENT.
He Was Not at Fault in the Militia
Fiasco.

SACRAMENTO, July 6-All the railroad
wheels are still tied up, and deep gloom
peryades the depot of the Southern Pacific
Company. Only a few strikers put IN an
appearance at the depot to-day. This was
due to the assurances of the Southern Pa
cic Company that no attempt would ba
made to move any trains pending an order
from President Huntington.
a Tumor was current last night that
Superintendent TOwne had wired Division
Superintendent Wright to move the trains,
but to detach the Pullman sleepers. When
seen by an Associated Press reporter Mr.
Wright empbatically denied that there
was any truth in the rumor. He declared
that the railroad company. rather than
concede point to the strikers, would al
low its trains to rot on the tracks.
Early this morning a report was circu-
lated that a regiment of United States
regulars was on its way to this city with
instructions to disperse the strikers. In a
few minutes hundreds of strikers rushed
to the depot, prepared to f0rciby res st
any attempt Of the regulars 10 gain con-
troll. Shortly afterward a company of
militia, consisting of twenty y-seven men,
arrived by boat from Vallejo They were
met by detachment from the local militia
and escorted to the armorY. They will
remain there, pending Instructions from
Commander Sheehan. After learning
that the report about the coming of regu-
lars was untrue the strikers returned to
their homes.
Shortly after O'Clock this afternoon
Private Secretary Eby received a dispatch
from Governor Markham at Los Angeles
requesting him to see Harry Knox. the
leader of the strikers. and get his permis-
sion to allow MS special train to return to
this city. To an Associated Press reporter
Knox said he had been informed of the
telegram and was ready to bring the
Governors special train to this city, pro-
vding The Southern Pacific Company
would allow the American Railway Union
to select crew. Subsequently Knox in
tervewed the railway officials here and
according to his statement they positively ly

just about then and couriers started out In
all directions and returned and started
out again. Their errand was doubtless
double one, for besides verifying. il posi-
BILE, the rumors, they probably were
directed to make arrangements for the
nasty removal Of secreted arms and am
munition from their hiding places 10 the
depot. AS the hours went by ana no
troops arrived the excitement wahed aud
finally it was determined that the rumor
was without foundation.
Late this afternoon there was dress
parade at the camp on the capitol grounds.
The troops appeared In fine form and
went through the ceremony with veteran
like snap. A considerable crowd of spec-
tators gathered along the walks in Capitol
Park, outside the sentry line. and watched
the affair with interest mixed with awe.
Although the militia was practically
whipped on Wednesday, the guardsmen
have settled down TO a quiet, determined
kind Of routine and the townspeOple are
not altogether certain what to make of it.
An inquest was held tonight at the
Morgue in the case of the killing of 0. H.
Wing by the accidental discharge Of a rifle
at the armory on Wednesday. The Jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death and
attached no blame to w. j. Walton, the
militlamaD whose rife was discharged.
In the jury's opinion the accident was due
to defective cartridge. Walton has been
under military arrest since the shooting
and will undergo a court-martial, but will
be exonerated from blame.
The npouncement that the railroad
company Is willing and ready 10 move all
freight and passenger trains which re-
Quire no sleepers caused considerable mer-
rment among the strikers. At the lat
ters' headQuar ters the announcement was
received with derisive cheers. When
spoken to about the railroad company's
proposition Leader Knox of the strikers
said
''lf we can possibly stop it the railroad
company will not get out any trains just
at present. Our position is we'll known,
and unless the Southern Pacific Company
agrees to abrogate its contract with tie
Pullman Company and if need be pur-
chase their interest from the Pullman
Company in their sIeeping-cars and restore
the wages of 1893 no settlement will be
reached. We are willing. however, to
transport mail and express matter. but
decline to concede that passenger and
freight service Is any part Of the mail

When asked as to the prospect of any
settlement Knox said as far as he knew
there was nOne
