LONDON, Oct. 2.--The Times publishes
letters from Yokohama, bearing date OF
Aug. a. stating that Japan is preparing
to increase her army in Corea to 100000
men. The intentions Of the government
as proclaimed by the native press are
to crush the Chinese army in Corea and
march on to Pekin, where a claim for
large indemnity viii be made and the
cession of the island of Fornosa de-
manded.
y letter. dated Sept. l. says that no
news Of any kind has been received ex-
cept that naval battle has been fought
somewhere in the gulf Of Pc Chi Ii. 1t
is added that vessels on both sides were
damaged. The dispatch of troops contin-
uses, but their destination is unknown ex-
cept that 100000 men have left to fight
the Chinese somewhere. The japanese
believe that they will be in a position
to dictate terms to China before the end
Of the year and also that they will pos
sess the boarded millions al Moukden
belonging to the Chinese imperial family.
Japan is calling out the second re-
serve TO supplement the denuded garr-
sons. The call has not been responded
to with enthusiasm. Many of the men
were never before called out. They are
ignorant and dull and are very angry
because of having to leave their occupa
tions and families. They are also afraid
that they will be called into active serv-
ice. The people therefore are less en-
thusiasuc about the war.
A dispatch sent from Shanghai today
states that the Chinese war council con-
tlnued to sit, but the disorganization is
appalling. The corruption In the com
missiarat passes belief. There is no
clothing for the troops. food is scanty
and weapons and war munitions, bought
and paid for, can neither be found nor
traced. The great Chinese camp be-
tween Tien Tsen and Taku IS filed with
raw levies and disorder is rampant, al
though executions are frequent. The
men are without rifles. Foreigners do
not venture in the camp unless they are
amply guarded Most Of the Europeans
have gone to the coast towns for pro-
lection Many Chinese merchants have
also migrated TO the coast towns feeling
that they will be more secure with the
foreigners.
Remnants of the Chinese force from
Ping Yang have reached Moukden. They
lost everything and tell do,eful stories of
the fighI.
The transport Hung Chang has ar
rived at Hank0w for the purpose Of en-
barking troops for the North. Troops
have been ordered to proceed from Can
ton to Formosa.

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON LABOR.
The WOrI<inEman's Calling DiGnided
by Christ-StriISes Questionable.

FROSTBURG, Md, Sept. 3O.-CardInal
Gibbons In a sermon on the labor ques-
ton today said in part:
Before the coming Of Christ manual
labor was held in degradation and rcle-
gated to slaves as being unworthy Of free
men. Christ, our Savior, has d,grihed
and ennObled labor by word and eX-
ample. He was pleased 10 devote many
years OF His life TO mechanical pursuits
and ever since He worked IN the oar-
penter shop He shed a halo around the
workshop. If the profession of a gem
eral as ennobled by Washington, If the
profession of a statesman as ennobled
by the example of a Webster and a
Burke, If the profession of jurist az en-
nobed by a Marshall and a Taney. v the
vocation Of a prclate as ennobled Dy the
example Of a Carroll. then the calling
of a workingman is dignified by the eX-
ample Of Christ
Labor has its rights. chief among
which is the privileges of organization

times 10 discuss is the question os strikes.

are very questionable for the redress OF
the labOreTs' grievances. Statistics fur
niShed show that the loss to the en-
plOyes by strikes for eight wears
amounted to nearly SIS 100000, while the
employers only lost one-half this amount

remedy will be found to put an end to
our recurring strikes. and arbitration

CHICAGO, Oct. Judge Jenkins's
famous strike Injunction was overruled to-
day by the United States circuit court Of
appeals and the cause was remanded with
directions to strike out from the restrain
ing order Of the court the clause which
aroused the country when the order was
issued and which resulted in the Boatner
investigating committee Of congress.
The interventors, representing the lead
ing labor organizations of the country,
asked that two sections Of the injunction
be eliminated. The court Of appeals de-
cided that no court could compel man
or body of men from quitting Individual
ly or in a body the service Of an en-
ployer The court said that Judge Jen-
kins had exceeded his powers when he en-
joined the employees of the receivers Of the
Northern Pacific railroad company from
quitting the service Of said receivers, with
or without notice. so as to cripple the
property or prevent or hinder the opera
ton Of said railroad"
It held however. that the section should
stand in which the men were prohibited
from combining and conEpiring to quit
with or without notice. the service of said
receivers, with the object and intent Of
gripping the property In their custody or
embarrassing the operation of said rail-
road"

Justice Harlan Of the supreme court de-
liVered the opinion. Sitting with him were
Judges Woods, Dunn. Grosscup and Jen-
kins. The last named sat with his eyes
fixed upon Justice Harlan as the latter
read the opinion reviewing the circuit
judges action. Judge Jenkins appeared
undisturbed by the opinion.
The audience which listened to the read
ing of the opinion was a most dis
tinguished one. EX-President Harrison

side well up toward the bench. After dis

ly made for him. but he was not appre-
hended, although 1t was notorious that
with him when his friends found II nee
esssry for months after his departure.
1t was generally believed that Capt.
Howgate went down the river immedi-
ately upon his escape and took up his
residence in St Mary's, as ii was well
known in Washington that he was con-
tinually seen In that neighborhood as
late as 1887. He then went to New Or
leans and remained there until he be-
lieved the secret service detectives were
after him. Accordingly he took his de-
parture westward and was seen at one
or two places on the Pacific coast For
two years past he had been in the East
and made his home in New York city.
District Attorney Birney said today
that there would be no trouble in hav-
ing HOwgate here to answer the several
indictments against him either tomorrow
or next day. When he did reach here
bail would be asked for in such an
amount as TO make his appearance am
ply secure, and no time whatever would
be lost in pushing the cases pending
against him. There were just
eleven indictments pending against
the captured man, seven OF
them charging enlbeZZlement and
the others charging forgery, all brought
in during October and November, 1881.
He was released on his personal recog-
nizance in the sum Of $4,000, Oct 8,

HIS EsCAPADE IN WASHINGTON.
story of His Capture and Escape
While His Daughter Sang.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-Capt How
gate was arrested in Washington in 1881
for embezzlenent Of funds that passed
through his hands as disbursing officer
Of the signal service corps Also for
forgery. The total amount involved was
s10l. PSI. He was indicted on six counts
before a United States commissioner.
His bail was fixed at $4,000. and he
was returned. He jumped his bail and
disappeared. Subsequently in 1882 he re-
appeared and gave himself up to stand
trial, but he escaped April 13. 1882, and
has not since been seen except by vague
rumors. The district attorney was in
formed several days ago that Howgate
had been discovered and would be ar
rested. His Information came from ex-
Chief Drummond of the secret service.
1t is said that people in Washington have
seen and talked with Howgate on the
streets Of New York several times within
the last few years. 1t had been sup
posed that the federal authorities had
abandoned the purpose of prosecuting
the case.
The story of Howgalte's exposure and
OF his relations with a woman named
Nettie BuTTfll caused a great sensation
at the time. For several years he had
led double domestic life in Washing
ton. But a few squares away from the
home that contained his devoted wife

NEW YORK, Sept. 27-Capt. Henry
W. Howgate. formerly chief of tke
weather bureau in Washington, was ar
rested in this city today on the charge
Of rogery and the embezzlement of S101,-
257 committed i'm 1873 and 1879. The ar
rest is the result of a search which has
occupied the attention Of the United
States secret service for over thirteen
years.
Howgate was arrested in 1881 in Wash
ingtOn, but having obtained the pernlis-
sion of the officers to go 70 his room to
dress he escaped through The window and
has since bafIled all efforts at recapture.
With Howgate there went a notorious
woman of Washington, for from it was
alleged he robbed the government. The
woman does not live with him, it being
alleged that she deserted him as soOr
as the money was spent. After having
searched nearly the whole country for
Howgate. ex-Sheriff Drummond received
information that the fugitive was
dealer in old books and pamphlets In this
city. Every book store was visited by
Detectives without success. Finally an
officer was detailed TO watch the auction
sales for Howgate. About two weeks
ago it was suspected that the fugitive
was keeping an old book store in the
basement Of 50 Fourth-ave under the
name OF Harvey Williams.
Not being sure OF the mans identity
the authorities in Washington were asked
10 send a man to the city who was ac-
quainted with Howgate. A clerk in the
war department who had been associated
with H0wgate was sent. RE met How
gate. but at fYst was uncertain Of his
identity. as the latter had changed con
Siderabiy IN the '~--ou years. After
engaging him in conversation the clerk
at length became convinced that the
man was H0wgdte and a warrant for his
arrest was procured from Commissioner
Alexander. Mr. DrummOnd served the
warrant today in person. Hc meI How

The latter started, but quickly regain
ing his composure asked Mr. Drummond
what he wanted. The detective told him.
He answered: .'All right: the jig is up:
/ am Capt Howgate'
On being drraigned before Commits
sioner Alexander this afternoon Howgate
said he would waive examination and go
back 10 Washington without trouble He
was not in a position. he said, TO furnish
bail. which was fixed by the commission
er at 100000. There are seven indictments
pending against Howgate.

TOO MUCH CENSORSHIP.
The British Navy'z Course May Get
u Into Trouble.

" lnNO
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-The reports
that the japanese cruisers are lowering
off Chee Foo and that japanese troops
are being landed confirms the prediction
OF japanese authorities here when the sec
ond japanese army embarked, that the
invasion Of China and the march on Pel1in
would begin soon. In diplomatic circles
here It is pointed out that the British
admirars course in shadowing the Jap
anese ships as they approach the Chinese
coast Is in line with a policy Of the British
navy. which has caused much irritation.
A recent case Is cited in which the
British ships watched the Russian fleet
until the Russian commander determined
upon a ruse. He had two of his ships
leave hastily from the harbor at YokO-
hama. British ship was soon in pursuit.
The Russians made a circuit outside and
returned to the harbor with the British
ship close behind.
AS the boats came in the Russian ad-
miral gave orders to his fleet to Gear the
decks and prepare for action. His sig
nails made 1t known that he would fire If
the pursuing British vessel did not keep
away from the Russian boats. The British
ship came to = sudden halt, and the
threatened broadside was averted The
British admiral was indignant at the
bellgerent action of the Russians and the
British government demanded an explana-
tion. The Russian admira. in reply said
that the movement Of his ships had been
so continually shadowed that he had con-
strued It TO amount 10 a belligerent move.
The incident went no further. although Il
put a stop 10 the shadOwing Of Russian
ships. During the recent revolution In
Brazil. when the revolutionary Admiral
Da Cana had fleet outside Rio the
British vessels were again accused of
shadowlng Da Gama's movements and al
lowing their information to get TO the
Peixoto government. The present action
OF Admiral Freemant.e, the British COM
mander of the Asatic squadron. in having
British ships hover i'm the rear Of the Jap
anese fleet, when secret moves are made,
is the latest exhibition Of this policy and
It Is said here 10 have aroused such feel
ing that an Official protest is regarded as
possible.
The Chllian legation here discredits the
reports that China has bought the Chi,ian
navy The reports are regarded as prepos-
ferrous, as Chill Is proud of her modern
navy and with the country's great stretch
OF coast ii is regarded as a most essential
arm Of her defense.

PHOENIX. Ariz.. Oct. 1-At 1915 a. m.
the east-bound Southern Pacific train was
he'd up one and a half miles east Of
Maricopa by three men. One Of the rob-
bers rode on the bind baggage car out
of Maricopa, while the other tagged the
train. As it Stacked up the fellow aboard
passed quickly into the engine, and at
the point of two revolvers forced En-
glneer Holiday and Fireman Martin to
descend. uncoupie the engine and pro-
ceed ahead Of the train for a half or
three-quarters of a mile.
In the meantime one masked robber
had entered the express car, while the
other stood guard outside. No shots
were fired nor were the passengers
alarmed while the robbery was in prog
ress. The engineer and fireman We're
walked back ahead Of robber No. 1 to the
express car, where they arrived about
the time the other two were ready to
depart. All three then mounted horses,
which were tied nearby, and struck out
in a southerly direction toward the MeXi-
can line. which is fifty miles from the
track
The amount which the Wells-Fargo
messenger reports as having been cap
tured is S160. but there is a current re-
port that the robbers got away with
$4,000 in gold. Their trail was struck
early this morning by Sheriff Drais Of
Pinal and Murphy Of Maricopa, accom-
panied by Deputies Widemer and
Prothero.
1t is stated that two Of the bandits who
attacked the train were masked and the
third who was mere boy, was not. The
robber who previously climbed on the train
captured the head brakeman and compelled
him to turn on the air brakes and stop
the train The other bandit covered the
engineer. who with the fireman. was COM
peeled to go back to the express car and
induce the messenger TO open the safe.
The boy was then showed into the car.
While he was searching for express treas
ures the two bandits guarded each side
of the train. When the boy came from
the car the trainmen who were under the
bandits guns were compelled to march
with the bandits a short distance into the
bushes. There the robbers released their
prisoners and mounting the horses rode
away. The penalty for robbing trains in
Arizona is death. The posse led by
Sheriff Murphy Of Marcopa found the
trail OF the robbers at the point where
they had crossed the ella river. seven
miles east Of Phoenix. Soon afterward
they came upon a camp which the rob-
bers has hastily abandoned. There they
found three Winchesters and three horses.
Not long after this they overhauled one
or the bandits whom they called upon to
throw up his hands. Instead he turned
upon the officers and fired. but charge
Of buckshot from the sherff's gun brought
him to the ground. The prisoner. whose
name Is Frank Armour. was brought here
and It is believed he win recover.
on Armours person was found one Of
the watches taken from a street car man.
who was held up here a week ago. The
robbers are believed to be members Of a
gang from Tonto basin, and II is suspected
that they are the men who held up a
stage near the Congress mine on Sept. 49,
