STRIKERS MOVING
Fruitvale Incorporation Is
Again Beaten.
The Course of Councilman Dow.
While Acting Mayor, Is
Commended.

OAKLA ND.-The strike is over and In a
very few days it will be officially Off
Many of the single men have pulled up
stakes for new fields, and the married
men are anxious to get back 10 work.
In speaking of putting men back to work
Master Mechanic Mckenzie said yester-
day: I'VE will take back as many of the
strikers as we can find places for, pro-
vided there is no charge of violence against
them. But many places have already been
filled with other men, and these We do not
propose to discharge for the sake of men
who voluntarily left US and now wish to
return"
The machine-shop in the yards, which
employs fifty men. will be kept closed for
awhile. 1t is thought that the old hands
in this department will be returned to
work after the company has held them off
for awhile. They are skilled men whose
places are difficult to fill.
Engineer Jeffers has bled into vel
vet by the strike. He is now general as
sistsnt in the yards and has supervision
over the locomotives and their drivers.
This will comeln the nature of surprise
to the engineers who turned Jefferis out
of their order. He can now lord it over
them little.
Charles Hall, the one-armed tower man,
who was the oracle of the A. f. u, left
for the East last night to attend the meet
ing of the A. r. u. In Chicago on August
2. He goes as delegate from this union.
Incorporation Defeated.
People of Fruitvale favoring incorpora-
ton were again grievouSly diSappoin ted
yesterday, when for a second time they
were knocked out by the Board Of Super
visoTs.
At meeting held by the incorporators
on Thursday night it was determined to
request the Supervisors TO reopen the
matter of Incorporation. which had been
laid on the table, and a committee was ap-
pointed 70 ask another hearing.
Yesterday the board met again to con-
sder the subject, attorneys for both sides
being present. The whole matter was
argued thoroughly, and the board finally,
after conference in committee, decided
not to take the matter from the table.
This was a severe blow to the incorpora-
tors. as they had built high hopes on a
reconsideration. They left much incensed,
and another Indignation meeting is
talked of.
Councilman Dow Honored.
At meeting of the Twenty-third ave-
nue. Republican Club. held on Friday
evening, the following resolutions were
introduced ard unanimously adopted:

the Business.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. July 2s.-Moy I'll
Sam, a Chinese tea merchant of Boston,
married Sarah Wilson, a young American
girl, in this city Yesterday. 1t is stated

This city is fast becoming the Mecca of
Cinnamon who desire to marry white

which supplies white wives for the Chi
nese.

Constable Morris found two suspicious
looking characters prOwling around the
lower end of Park street yesterday, aud
after watching them for some time, during
which lie saw them begging at several
places. he decided the personal property of
our citizens would be safer If these gentle
men were where they could be watched
closer. so he escorted them to the City
Prison, where they gave the names of
James and Joseph Anderson. On being
searched dagger, keyhole saw. candle,
q number of cartridges and burglars tools
were found. They were taken before
Justice Innes on the charge of vagrancy,
but were dismissed by the Justice for
want of evidence. They were again re-
tanned upon the charge OF Carrying con-
cealed weapons. The recent rObberies
in this city have had tha effect of making
the police more yigilant, and all strangers
are closely watched.

Peopls VS.. W. ii. Beal, the striker, who
petitione6 for change of venue on the

A REIGN OF BLOOD.
thur We're a Stain on Japanese
Civilization.

New York. Dec. PA special cable dis
patch to the World from Yokohama says
the Japanese troops entered Port Arthur
on November u and massacred almost
the entire population in cold blood. The
defenseless and unarmed inhabitants We're
butchered in their houses and their bodies
were unspeakably mutilated There was
an unrestrained reign of murder which
continued for three days. The whole
town was plundered, with appalling atroci-
ties. 1t was the first stain upon Japanese
civilization. The Japanese in this in
stance relapsed into barbarism.
All pretenses that circumstances justi-
fed the atrocities are false. The civilized
world will be Mortified by the details. The
foreign correspondents, horrlhed by the
spectacle, left the army in Il body.
The following statement was issued
from the Japanese legation today:
The Japanese minister expresses the
strongest disbelief in the reports of the
by the Japanese troops at Port Arthur. lie
does not hesitate to denounce as unqualified
ly false the statement contained in one
account teegraphed from Yokohama that
there was unrestrained murder at Port
Arthur for three days after Its capture and
that practically all of the inhabitants Were
butchered in cold blood. The reputation OF
Marshal Oyama, whose orders to his troops
against excess OF any kind were OF the
strictest nature and the discipline main
tanned in the Japanese army in his opinion
ronderS such Il state of things impossible.
He believes therefore that these reports are
exaggerated and thinks that the official

IMPORTANT POINT IN LAW.
The Case Of Warner vs.. Benjamin
Argued in the Supreme Court
at Madison.

Madison, Wis, Dec. 15.-The Supreme
court is called upon to decide II question
of great Importance in the case of Helen
Laura ID. Benjam and Il. A. Bates, the
appeal in which was argued before the
court this morning by W. j. Turner Tor
the defendants and appellants, and SUD
mitted for the plaintiff and respondent on
case and brief. The important point or
general interest, which is whether the
capitalization of corporations in an amount
largely in excess of the actual value OF
the assets of corporation is Il fraud upon
the purchasers of the stock where no hotlce
of these facts are given, will not DE
reached unless the Supreme court decides
that the lower court of milwaukee, county
erred in assuming this to be II tact,
Should the court SO decide, this question
is opened to argument. In this case Mrs.
Warner obtained Judgment III the lower
court for $1,000. 80 from the defendants.
The facts briefly are that she purchased
from them in 1886 stock in the Bourne,
Nimikon, Bessemer, kakagon, Prospect
Hill and Sunday Lake iron mines, on the
Gogcbic range. Each of these mines was
capitalized at 100000, whereas the IN
100000. There are twelve assignments
of error in the appeal, but the question as
to whether this constituted fraud upon
the purchasers of the stock is the one or
prime Importance, as its decision affects
not merely these mining corporations, but
numerous other corporations which are
organized in like manner Other cases ar
gued before the court are:
