Labor has its rights, chief among
which is the privilege OF organization
without tinfringingu upon their employers.
One of the most difficult questions in

ton OF strikea. Strikes, as ex-
perience has demonstrated, are very
ques tionable means for the redress of
labor grievances. Statistics furnished
show that the loss to the employees by
strikes for eight years amounted to
$78. 100000, while the employers only
lost half this amount. / earnestly hope
come efficient remedy will be found to
put an end to ou- recurring atrikes, and

A policeman on duty in the Jefferson

A Learned Chinese Doctor Pays Dearly For
Little Innocent Sightseeing.
It is dangerous to crafty curiosity or
to violate precedent at the Chinese i'm
perial conrt. The empress dowager is a
great sticlsler for etiquette. Recently
she required the services of DR.. Lii Te-
chang, vice president of the Imperial
Academy Of Physicians, at Pekipg, for
one of the members of her suit at Eho
Park palace. The learned doctor had
never been inside these famous palace
grounds, and his curiosity was fred to
see the many curious objects Of which
he had heard wonderful tales. So he
bribed q palace eunuch to show him
around the grounds.
While tho two were leisurely walking
about and enjoying themselves the en-
press spied them. She at once dis
patched servants to punish their effron-
terry. The eunuch was seized, thrown
on his face and accommodated with 90
blows with the bamboo on the calves of
his fat legs. The doctor was docked
three months pay and received a severe
reprimand, while his assistant was Or
dered never to venture again into the
empress presence.
The affair created sensation because
of the high position of the physician
and Of the humiliating punishment
dealt ont to him. New York Sun.

CLEVER OHINEs n.

CeIestials Working Unole Sam for Free
transportation to China.
Tucson, Sept. 30.-Thres Chinese were
arrested the other day at Tombstone
and brought to this city for trial before
the district court ON the charge of being
unlawfully in the United States. Since
the time OF the enactment OF the Geary
law many eelestials have come into
Arizona from Mexico for the sole pur-
pose of securing free transportation to
their native land, and the three now in
jail, it seems, are on American soil for
no other reason. The exclusion law
provides thst in the discretion OF the
court Chinese found unlawfully in the
United States can be sentenced to inn
priscRmsnt at hard labor for not more
than one year ana then be dsportsd.
Likely in the future celestials convicted
on this charge in Arizona will be given
the full benefit of the law, as such
course, it 10 believed, will have the
effect of stopping at once the food of
Chinese from the sister republic.

Several Matchmaking Russian Mothers Do
teoted In a DisgrDceful scheme.
Father John Sergieff of Cronstadt is
probably the most universally popular
priest in the Russian Orthodox church.
His prayers and benediotions are be-
sought by the grievously sick and un-
fortunate in nearly every government of
European Russia, by letter and by tele-
graph, so implicit is the public conf
dence reposed in his piety and wisdom.
Father John himself is man of simple
life. making 10 pretensions whatever to
extraordinary sanctity, of modest habits
and lavish to the Last ruble Of his con-
siderable income in relieving the neces-
sitous, making no distinction of creed
or race.
Not little indignation has there
fore been raised by the discovery in the
government Of Orel that the good IA
ther reputation has for some time past
been wickedly traded upon by number
of designing Inammas who have unmar-
ried and dowerless daughters to dispose
Of. These solicitous matrons, sometimes
acting in concert, but in different To-
calities, have fabricated letters of ad-
vice, purporting to be written by the
worthy priest of Cronstadt, recommend
ing particular matrimonial alliances be-
tween their daughters and certain pious
young bachelor neighbors as being di-
vinely ordained.
These spurious letters proved success
full bats in very many instances, but
eventually the maternal conspiracy was
detected, and it is now probable that
the more guilty of the intriguing
mothers and matchmaking spinsters Of
Orel will have to do penanoe for their
indisoretions in a conventual retreat be-
fore Father John's absolution is granted
and tho civil authorities are satisfied.

BERLIN, Sept. 30.-A rumor gained
currency this morning than SO nom
commissioned officers of the Fourth reg
iment of guards, located at the Moabit
barracks, had been arrested. Tho facts
were learned subsequently. 1t appears
that lis non-com missioned officers be-
longing to the chief cunning school were
arrested Saturday afternoon. The fail
ure to identify one officer who was &C
oused of disseminating socialist pam
phlets caused the authorities to decide
to arraign ell the officers, among whom
was the suspect. before military tri-
bunsl. The guards we're alarmed and
escorted the prisoners to Magdeburg
with fixed bayonets.
A dispatch to the Daily News from
Berlin says the arrest of the non-com-
missioned officers had nothing to do
with socialism. The commander of the
gunnery school is disliked on account of
his severity. Having noted the grow
ing spirit of insubordinstion he called
the non>commissioned officers together
and severely reprimanded them. This
was on Friday. The men subsequently
became noisy and the commander
visited their rooms and order
ed them that they be client.
The men became insolent and openly
refused to obey the leader. The finally
became threatening and the commander
drew his sword in self defense. This
had the effect OF restoring order. Ths
commander Immediately telegraphed
Emperor William, who ordered the ar
rest of the mutineers. A regiment of
the guards was summoned and sur
rounded the school during the night.
The non-commissionsd officers were
aroused and went into the courtyard
where the commander addressed them,
saying:
"You are all prisoners. Every ybody
who tries to escape must abide by the
consequences"
All the prisoners were escorted to the
railway station and at O'Clock in the
morning were sent to the Magdeburg
fortress.
Another story OF the affair says the
the commander, Baron Stetin, was pass'
ing through the courtyard during q
drinking bout and that the men upon
seeing him shouted insulting words.

Of the inspection OF the Indian agencies

in the city. During the past week he
has been inspecting the Hoopa Valley
reservation in the northern part of Hum
boldt county, where the work OF allotting
land to the 900 or more members of the
klamath and Hoops tribes is progress
ing.
"There will be an immense tract OF
land thrown open when the enactment
is completed" said Duncan. THAT will
probably be two months more. The
Hoopa reservation extends clear through
to the ocean, distance of 60 odd miles,
and contains in the neighborhood of
100000 aores. Each Indian is to be
allowed 20 acres OF valley land and 140
acres of pasture land, total OF 160
acres"
Among the 900 members of the two
tribes something like IA, 900 acres will
be distributed and the balance will be
thrown open to settlement. The greater
proportion OF it is mountainous country,
but there will be some good farming
land available. The Hoopa valley
tribes are an industrious set and
take kindly to agricultural pur-
suits. But they are disappearing
rapidly. Consumption and various other
affections which they have contracted
from the whites are rapidly reducing
their ranks. There was small increase
in the population last year, but it was

Associated Preua correspondent with re-
gard to the expected changes in the ad-
ministration OF the Catholic church in
the United States. He said:
SIT is quite true that the pope is pre-

United States. 1t may also discuss the
Washington delegation. Instead OF
passing through the intermediary of the
perfect OF the propaganda, Monsignor
Satolli would refer matters to the pope
direct.
"The question is one of form, rather
than OF substance, especially as the
pope has already authorized Monsignor
Satolli to Judge large number Of cases
which formerly would have TO be sub.
mitted to the propaganda.
"As to assuming, as Monaignor Kean
says, that the pope will transfer the
administration of the American church
to Washington. the idea is absurd.

these terms The pope wishes to main

Sale OF the Thousand Islands.

The government is rejoicing over the
sale of the Thousand islands, which, it
appears, are going off cheap for cash.
Over 300 have been sold for the paltry
sum of $4,000, or, say, $125 each. The
Ontario government was not given much
time to consider their purchase. The
Dominion government has had its own
way. The "nigger in this woodpile' is
yet to be discovered. Just what motive
is behind the determination Of the gov
ernment to sell the islands in spite of
public opinion is not evident. Those

timber land deals, and who look back
