COMING TO HIS SENSES.

The treatment Debs received at the
hands of his Republican fellow protec-
tionists, when he attempted 70 apply
the principle Of protection to labor, has
had the effect to dlsabuSe his mind Of
the sophisms it imblbed while sitting at
the feet of Mckinley. He discovers
that stopping or impeding imports by
taxation i'll order to "enable" employ
ers o give higher wages is not only
delusion, but fraud. He has discovered
that no foreigner pays the tax. but the
consumer does. He has discovered
what William l.. Kelley admitted nearly
thirty years ago, that the manufacturers
have enjoyed protection of their wares,
while they have had unrestricted free
trade in labor.
Mr.. Debs has found out a salutary
truth, and it is worth to him and his
fellow workmen all the great strikes
have cost them. When the wage
earners of the country learn that
it is true that, as Debs says
while they (the Republicans) put
tariff on what it would bene-
fit you to have come in free they opened
the ports and welcomed the riff-raf of
Europe. They put no tariff on Poles
and Dagoes. They sent to Europe for
the foreign element that has pushed
American workmen from their happy
homes"-it will be the better for them
and theirs. They enacted labor con-
tract law and wlnked at its evasion;
passed it as another sop to labor. which
had begun to know that if protection
made employers liable" to pay higher
wages they did not do it. 1t was false
pretense. made out of the same cloth as
their protective tariffs and their anti
trust act.
Mr.. Debs says that he will aband on
strikes as an instrument that hurts in
the recoil worse than it does in its direct
action, and take to the ballot. If he and
his fellow workers will use the ballot to
repeal all these restrictive laws and set
labor really free. and trade. the only
wage source Of labor, free, and wipe
out privilege buttressed in law, they
will remove the conditions out of which
strikes have grown. Labor wants more,
not less, freedom.

HELD TOO CHEAPLY

If, as our Republican contemporaries
are so constant in vociferating, the
Democratic senate sold out to the sugar
trust, they should be ashamed of them
selves for letting the Republicans drive
so much more profitable a bargain when
they were in the game. If the trust
buys them for the grant of the power to
take from.sugar users only an eighth of
a cent on each pound of sugar they buy,
what must it have paid the Republican
senate when il proposed to give them
the power to exact siX-tenthS Of cent
pound? And how much did it have to
pay the Republican house to agree on
the compromise of five-tenths of cent?
If permission to rob the people is
merely matter of bargain and sale,
then the Democrats of the senate are
certainly culpable for getting so little
from the trust. License to steal half a
cent pound IS worth just four times
as much as license to steal one-eighth
of cent. But, happily for the country,
this view of the use of taxing power
is limited to Republican senators and a
few corrupted Democrats. Il has now
had such an airing that even Republic
an senators will never again dare to
make merchandise Of the power to tax.

CARRY THE WAR INTO CHINA.

Japan May Attempt to Overthrow
the Celestial Emperor.
WASHINGTON. Ang. 3.-The only
telegram of pablo interest received at
the Japanese legation today related to
the request made by the japanese gov
eminent concerning the protection
asked to be afforded japanese interests
in Pekin by the American charge there.
An answer to previous telegram CIV
ing the information desired by the
Japanese government had been sent
already by Mr.. Myako, the charge
d'affdires here, but evidently had been
delayed in transmits ion.
The legation is without any Official
news concerning the reported repulse
of Japanese troops at Asan. Consider
able doubt exists in the minds of the
officials as to the exact location of the
place, and they still question the re-
ported fight. The minister of foreign
affairs at Toxic has promised to keep
the legation promptly informed of
events. with a view to having them
made public promptly here.
The Corean legation is still without
any information from the home govern
ment concerning the condition of affairs
at Corea, Notwithstanding The fact that
kilograms have recently been received
through other agencies from Seoul. its
capitol. Much regret is expressed by
the Corean officials that war should
occur on Coreau territory, as it will re-
suit in great hardship3 to an already
poor people. The presence of a very
large army in the country is said by the
Coreans to be serious affair. Most of
the natives are agrieulturSts, and the
presence of armies will have the effect
of diYerting them from their laborS,an
result in large loss to the crops. 1t is
considered doubtful, however, whether
Japan will make COrea the battle
ground for the war already declared,
and the belief is expressed that she will
make formidable attempt to capture
Pekin and overthrow the existing
dynasty.
1t is reported that number of Amer
leans have Signified to japanese officials
in this city their desire to enter the
military service or Japan during the
pending war with China. An eX-
official of the United States to the for
mer country calls attention to the fact
that by the laws of the United States it
is made penal otfense for an American
citizen to enlist in the military service
of either China or Japan, when engaged
in war with country at peace with the
United States.

the appropriation bills, the deficiency,
was passed by the senate this evening

ly the entire day. The bills for the adj.
mission of New Mexico aud Arizona to

and placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Davis. of Minnesota, introduced
bill defining operations in futures,
imposing taxes on dealers therein, etc.,
which was about TO be referred TO the
committee oil agri culture when Mr..
Harris objected Oh the ground that as it
was intended to raise revenue it should
be considered by the committee on
finance. He protested against the bill
as ''prostItutlng the taxing power to a
wholly unauthorized purpose"
Mr.. George made the point of order
that all bills raising revenue should be
proposed in the house of represent.
atives. The vice president reserved
his ruling Oil the point of order.
Mr.. Allen then endeavored to resur-
rect his recently introduced resolution
''for the relief of the several states of
the Unlon." from the committee on
finance, to which it had been sent, but
his resolution to this end went over
until tomorrow without action.
The house bill for the protection Of
persons furnishing materials and labor

was passed.
A prolonged discussion was brought
out by an amendment proposed by Mr..

as did also Senators George, Frye and

moved to lay the amendment on the
table, which was agreed to. On an
amendment proposed by Mr.. Blanchard,
but which was ruled out of order, Mr..
Blanchard appealed from the decision
OF the chair, and inaugurated 0bstruc-
tive tactics by making the point of no

ators, eight more than quorum,
answered to their names.
Mr.. Hale moved TO lay the appeal on
/ the table, and this was done. At $3.50
O'Clock the bill was passed, and the re-

WHOSE WIFE WAS SHE ?
STR RANGE DISPUTE OVER 4
DEAD WOMAN,S BODY.
One Husband Identifies by a Pho
tograph, the Other by Clothing
"A Mysterious Case.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Two husbands
claiming the body of a dead wife. one
| identifying the remains by photograph
and the other seeking to establish his
claim by describing every article found
in her baggage, is the dilemma which
now confronts Coroner McHale, OF this
city.
April II a woman who reached Chi
cago over the Santa Fe railroad went
direct to cheap hotel. Five minutes
after reaching the hotel the woman fell
dead. In her possession was a ticket
signed Mrs. Lang" from San Francisco
TO Philadelphia. On her trunk was
found the name "B. Sampson" Coroner
McHale endeavored to find the woman's
relatives in Philadelphia, but falling
caused the body to be inferred in VALID
helm cemetery.
Soon after the burial, Leon Lang, of
$3.50 Aspen street, Philadelphia, came
to Chicago and declared that he thought
the woman was his wife, who had been
for two years in California for her
health. MIR. Lang had picture of his
wife which strongly
Resembled the Dead Woman,
but when it came TO describing her bag
gage he could not tellthe appearance of
single article in the coroner's possess
sion.and that official, not being salts fed,
declined to surrender the baggage.
Recently A. b. Sampson, of Tucson,
AriZ., well-known aud weaity resi-
dent of the territory, wrote Coroner Nc
Hale that the woman was his wife, and
that they had been married ten years.
He said She had started from San Fran
cisco in April for the East, and was to
take a long voyage to Calcutta, India.
She had written him last ON
April Is, saying that she had
met lady on the cars
and they were 10 travel together to the
seaboard. When he did not hear again
Mr.. Sampson grew alarmed and began
an investigation. lie learned of the
unidentified woman in Chicago, and
concluded she had been his wife. He
prepared TO recover MS wife'S property.
Coroner McHale was relieved when the
WeSterner Identified the trunk and its
contents by letter, even to a bottle of
tooth powder. He mentioned note
paper in the trunk. 1t was there
pElHleu III HIS name anu Win TIE llSlS-
MIA of the Grand Army of the Republic
upon it. Mr.. Sampson used the paper as
the commander OF the Union Veterans
Association of Arizona. 1t was found
just where he described it. The name
''B. Sampson" was also on the trunk To
ciinch his claim he sent photograph of
Mrs. Sampson, and notified the coroner
to send the remains to Tucson.
The picture had no resemblance to
the dead woman. No one could con-
slider them for an instant as likenesses
of the same individual. The coroner
was in quandary. If the deceased
was Mrs. Lang, how came she With the
property of Mrs. Sampson? If she was
Mrs. Sampson why did she not resem-
BILE her own photograph? How came
she with ticket bearing the signature
of Lang? Or, being either OF the two
women, what had become of the other?
These problems Coroner McHale is
wrestling. nor has he yet answered
them. Meanwhile both claimants ara
increasing their endeavors to secure the
remains and the property.
