marshal and sometimes general. according

is, in fact. o exact rule for translating the
original designations. The rank held by
Yamagata and Oyama is the first and cor
responds to that of general in the United
States service and field marshal in the
British. There ars only two other grades
Of general offcers-those which are held
respectively by Nozu and Oshimi and are
usually translated lieutenant-general and

piled to the commander of a corps, and
the officer next in degree is called lieuten-

therefore, more reasonable to use no title
of higher significance than general. In
the present war each of tho two principal
commanders controls corps of about
10000 men. The only acknowledgement

would, in course of time. be given out that
China had communicative tributary states

block the wheels of progress in the East
This is what Japan firmly believes,
and she is therefore resolved that the
whole Chinese nation shall be mad g
aware of the Governments abasement. On
no other terms can security for the future
be assured.
The inquiry of the United States as to
Jspan's willingness to acc pit proffer of
assistance is regarded rather as retarding
than acceleratiDg the satisfactory con-
clusion of the war. Nevertheless the au-
thorities at Toxic are not altogether in
disposed to allow the avowal of Chlna's
submission to be made through American
diplomatic agencies. They would prefer
that it come without circumlocution direct
from the Chinese sovereign, but they are
at least conscious that the strong objec-
lions TO interven ton which present them
selves when European Governments ara in

not admit that the matter is yet decided.
Their silence on this. as on most other
other subjects, is virtually impenetrable.

to be able to say hereafter that the diff
Guilty had been handed over by one of the
viceroys to An insignificant foreign clerk
for settlement as a matter unworthy OF
the Emperor's personal attention. Japan
will surely not be duped by any such
artifice, and IL was expected that the incom-
petent ENJOYS would be dismissed with
out hearing. which was precisely what
really happened. None of the Chinese
came on shore, but Detring established
himself at a Kobe hotel and forwarded
LIS letter for perusal by Count Ito al
Hiroshima. Unless there is something
behind this proceeding which is yet to be
disclosed it will be looked upon by the
Japanese as the most audacious scheme
yet devised by their adversaries.
Japanese newspapers report that Mr..
Dun, the Minister of the United States, is
on his way TO Hiroshima TO inquire into
this and other proposals for peace. These
statements are untrue in every particular.
The American Minister eontemplates no
visit to Hiroshima at present.

other hand, it was claimed that many So
called workingmen houses needed protec-
ton as much as shops Or factories. After
lively discussion the plank as originally
drawn was adopted. Planks 8, 6 and
were adopted without discussion. Plank s
was amended to include water works and
adopted. Plank was adopted without
discussion, though several delegates asked
to be recorded as voting in the negative.
When the famous plank 10 came up
few minutes before o'clock. the tug of
war was reached. Mir. StraZer of New
Jersey stated that he proposed to make
the author Of that plank declare himself
He offered as an amendment the addition
of the words "By means of confscation
without compensation" 7. j. Morgan.
author Of the plank. seconded the amend
ment.
A. McCraith of Boston offered a substi-
tute as follows: "The abolition of the
monopoly system of land holding and the
substituting therefor a title OF occupancy
and use only" j. Mahlon Barnes of the
Cigar makers Union raised the point OF
order that a similar resolution had been
already adopted By the federation and
therefore could net be onsldered. Presi-
Gent Gompers ruled against the point and
MI. Barnes appealed from the decision Of
the chair. Half dozen men wanted to
discuss the appeal, but the president ruled
that only the appellant andsthe appellee
could speak. Barnes demanded that the
president vacate the chair during the dis
cussioD, but the latter declined. The
chair was sustained by a vote of 81 to Is.
Most OF the delegates came to the hall
this afternoon with speeches on plank 10
prepared, and this fact, no doubt. did
much 10 keep down inflammatory ex-
pressions. Thomas j. Morgan of Chicago
presented chart to show the relative
number and wealth of workingmen, bust
ness men, capitalists and millionaires.
His speech was a vigorous advocacy OF
socialism. A fve-minute limit had been
made, but when his time was up half
dozen men volunteered to give him their
time and he spoke for over half an hour.
He denies the charge made In President
Gompers' report that the socialistic idea
was. struggled into the programme. He
said: "We have as our allies in the So
cialistic movement all kinds of laboring
machinery and we have the millionaires.
They put Debs in Jail to-day. Tn glad Of
it. That is the kind Of work that will
make you vote to put men on the bench
who will not render such decision"
Mr.. StraZer followed Mr.. Morgan in OPP
position to socialism. He held that social
ism was not progressing. The socialistic
growth in Germany was not socialism. be
said, but the rise of democracy.
Mr.. Brentwood of the Typographical
UEion said that so far as he was informed
the delegates were all under instruction
from their unions as to their votes and he
thought all arguments were useless.
Others spoke at length. and the conven-
tion adjourned with the question still
under consideration.

NATIVES ARE UNEASY,
Political Unrest Continues at

German Residents Hope for Annexa.

Protectorate.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Dec. --latest Sa-
moan advices brought by the Warrimoo
say that the state OF political unrest con-
tiDues. although there has been no out
break for some time. Natives throughout
the whole of the islands are busily en-
gagged making copra. The Oldest residents
say they never worked so hard. They are
not, however, spending q 1.-THE of what
money they receive. so 1t Is believed they
are boarding 1t up, for trouble Is expected
TO again arise. when they will be in po-
sition to pay for supplies.
No attempt is being made to collect
taxes. The Chief Justice is very busy in
finishing the land business. King Male
toa has not received cent of pay for more
than a year past.
Local German residents are very conf
dent that either German annexation or a
protect0Tate will shortly happen. II this
takes place no doubt internal troubles
would cease. but so would trade with the
Australian colonies. The Land Commits
sion has almost completed Its labors. Last
month Savai Island was visited and all
claims on that island were disposed of,
and upon the return of the commission a
visit was paid 10 Falcalii. on the southern
side of Upolu, and a session held there.
The commission goes to Lufilufi shortly,
and will probably conclude the hearing of
the cases a week later. when 1t will dis

routine work.

TROUBLE AT SEOUL.

ter TO Japanese Authority.
SEOUL. Nov. 19.-The Tai Won Kun,
having found his duplicity laid bare, ap-
pears inclined to carry his schemes for the
advancement of his faction to the extrem-
est limit, with a view to discovering how
far he may safely defy the counsels of the
new Japanese representative, Count
1nouye. Firmness and resolution are
greatly needed In dealing with this aged
insriguer, who holds himself superior to
all law and means that government shall
be the exercise of the individual will. To
displace him would scarcely meet the diff
icuities Of the situation, for there is no
other statesman who can bring TO bear the
authority that is needed over the various
Official bodies. But to make his power
and influence benefcially effective In the
Count 1nouye would care TO undertake,
and which even he1nay ind exhausting.
The Tai Won Kun has now de 6n itely de-
clared himself opposed to such domestic
improvements as Japan deems indispen-
sable. Count Inouye is determined, never
theleas, that the movement of reform shall
con tinue, and that the Tai Won Kun shall
either CO. operate therein or retire from the
scene. For the present the wheels of
progress m owe very slowly.

is the latest subject of interest In Japan.
At this extraordinary visitation by an IN
sufficiently authorized body OF peace mes
sengers the Government scarcely knows
whether to laugh or be angry. IL is al
most too palpable Chinese trick to be
taken seriously. An English employe of

Detrinr, has been sent to a seeond-rate

Sl5O,OOO in doing away with tue ne
cessity for moro addition to various
ward buildings. lie was satisfied with
the location and said the class of young
people who will attend tho high school
will come up from Richietown. The To-
cation decided upon is considerably
cheaper than the one spoken OF on the
south side OF the creek.
Mr.. Buchanan was in favor OF tho old
court house site, disinterestedlv.
Mr.. Stanton said that he had always
understood that whom n high school
was TO be built, homo for the board
and Tor the public library was also to DO
considered in connection.
Mr. Jefferson was IN favor OF the
court house location, and said such a
chance would never again be offered.
Colonel Miller said the future growth
VII! be on tho South Side, and the high
school location would be most centrally
located on the upper South Side.- He
did not think the old court hou-e pro-
pcrly worth more than was paid for it,
$4,000, and the owners have already
sold part OF II. Property ha, not ad-
yanccd in value here like it has in
Chicago. He was in favor OF Mrs.
1ounGs property, when no thought
could be bought Tor $4,000. He was
not IN favor OF several high school
buildings in various parts OF the city.
Dr.. Campbell spoke again, aud he
claimed ii high school is ever to be
had, now is the time, and Wheat and
SpeidePs offer is as cheap as any south
OF the creek. He cited several objcc.
tons to tho Toua, site on Twentieth

There l. no u'e, he said, in waiting
the board will never be in better posi-
ton to yote.on tho ubject.

sition would prevail.
