DEBs Will COME LATER.
Impossible For Him to speak in Topeka
Labor Day.

Eugene V. Debs has not yet been
heard from on the labor day proposition.
and it is now certain that lie will not be
here.
The letter mentioned in the STATE
JOURNAL WAS written to him week or
two ago By Harry W. Chapman, the sec
retary Of the A X L. in Topeka. aud no
reply mas been received
There seems to be mistake, too in
the announcement that he would speak
at Kansas City on that day, as he is also
billed to appear at Terre Haute, Ind,
his home on that day.
Kansas will have opportunity to
hear Mr.. Debs soon. He has consented
to make four speeches in the state dur
ing the campaign, and Topeka will get
the first one. X. j. Sloat said to jour
MAI. reporter that Mr.. Debs' Topeka adj
dress has not vet been dated, but that it
will occur some time during the first two
weeks in October. His speech will bo
on the subject of labor, and will take
place at one Of the parks day will be
made of the occasion, and special trains
may be run into the city.

said today
s.The outlook for genuine tariff reform
is very bright. We have taken the first
step and that is always tile hardest, and
having done that much aud done it per
fectlv, it viii be easy to proceed to full
real zatlOn Of tariff reform"
Mr.. Wilson was asked if he considered
that the principle Of tariff reform char
acterized the present ACT, even though
the rates were not all that was wanted
Yes" said he, 1.-THE principle Is there
and after all the greatest Struggle has
been 10 secure recognition Of the prln-
ciple rather than the perfection OF de-
tail The detail must come by the ire
sistable force Of clrcum stances now that
the principle is obtained"
'What Is there in the assertion that
resumption of agitation next winter viii
bring a recurrence of business unrest?"
s'Ihat is wholly unwarranted." said
Mr.. Wilson. There need be no general
bill reaching all industries, SO that the
Legislation will not be such As to affect
commercial affairs generally. The tariff
rates viii remain stable Un the very great
majority of articles aud il viii be upon
com paratlvely few that the most perfect

Roundsman John w. Cottrell. of the

at their meetoing this afternoon. He
was transferred to the Delaney street
station.

The owners place the value OF each lot
at SIS. 900, making a total OF $4,000.

value Of the property appraised by a
Committee appointed by the Supreme
Court Tor that purpose.
