PROPOSED LABOR LAWS.
The Labor Leaders Are Working at tho Capt.
fol for Their Enactment

Three prominent labor leaders, Samuel
Gompers. ex-president OF the American Fed
era ion Of Labor, aud the Legis!a i've Com
m!ttee OF that organization, A. Furserh and
a. Str&sser, are at The Capitol working for
measures which have been endorsed by tho
Federation.
One OF their bills, framed by the Seamen's
Union aud endorsed by representative Ma
guire OF California, was signed by he Prcsi-
dent. Its effect is to abolish penal punish.
ment Of sailors for violating their civil con.
tracts with shippers The seamen's Union
has other bills upon which 1t hopes to Sc
cure favorable action at the hands OF the
next Congress which are designed to abolish
capital punishment: on ship board, to In
prove the standard Of rations and quarters
for sailors. 1t contends that the seamen a.
the American merchant marine are treat,
with less considera ion ty the laws o! tie
United States than are those under the iuris
dicton OF any other civilized nation tha.
their food and quarters ARE poorer, punish
mont more we're and the work hard n and
that scuryy is more prevalent among them.
Mr.. Gompers is working particularly fer
the bill to create n commission to invesagaio
the conditions OF labor and agriculture AMI
their relations TO capital, which was intro
duced by Representative Phillips, OF Penn
sylvAnia, and favorably reported 10 the
House by the Labor Committee. He is hope
full that it will become a law, but & Is it IN
expectingly difficult TO arouse the interest
OF members tC point which will impel the a
to active work for the bi ].
The Federation Of LABOR has no special De-
terest in the arbitration bill, Mr.. Gompe -s
says, because it applies to the railroad nv
only, but he hopes to see 1t enacted.

1000 KILLED.
An Explosion in the Forts at
TakaO Creates Havoc.
TROUBLESOME BLACK FLAGS
Information of Their Raids on the
Island Of Formosa Reaches
Hong Kong.

1t is reported In Hong Kong that an expio-
sion which recently occurred In the maya
ne Of tho forts at Takao treaty port on
the southwestern coast Of the island OF For
mosa. AMI al first understood to be Of COM
parativey trivial character wa" terrible In
its results. 1t is now said that the explosion
killed 2O0O Chinese I'D iers attached to the
forts aud injured many others A squa Iron
of japanese warships is patroiing the island.
The information that has come from the
island OF Formosa since the sudden depart
ure on the 18th inst, Ct the British cruiser
Mercury, upon the receipt OF Information
that the notorious robbers, known as Black
Flags were committing o1trages and the
British residents were in need ofurgent hel +,
has been meagre but what has been received
shows that the situation is as serious as the
first dispatches indicated. Reports have ar
rived that the disturbances on the island are
increasing and have become 50 bad that the
merchants are alarmed aud are leaving.
The Black Flags are predatory irreg ar
forces. They are not in China's pay, though
sometimes she has little authority ovor
them. Warfare is their profession, and they
depend upon 1t for bread, and they raid aud
rob Chinese and others Unfortunately.
They have no law but the comman Is Of their
leaders. They are much bolde: and more
warlike than the av'rage Chinaman, and
have little fear ofdeath.
The French were g.eatly troubled by them
in Tonquin. 1t is said that II the Chinese
officials can turn the Black gs upon any
specially hated enemy they consider it a
gre It stroke OF enterprise. 1t Is also said
that when the French, during the Tong In
campaign, sent An officer to Tien Tsin to
C mplain to Viceroy Ii Hung Chan; against
the outrages OF the Back Flags, and to de-
mand that he secure their punishment, tho
Vic roj said that he had no more control over
them than the French had.
They were robber scamp', and China dis
owned them. Chiua would be delighted il
the French caught them and beheaded them.
1t is belved that they are capable OF making
much trouble for the Japanese
