Washington, Jan. 13.-Accounts of a
great celebration held in Toxic on Dec.
3 to commemorate Japan's victories at
sea and in the field have been received
at the japanese legation here, and they
show that the tardiness of the capitol
in bestirring itself to honor the Japa-

trieved by the thoroughnness with
which the celebration was carried out
At least 100000 people witnessed the
ceremonies, which were held in Uyeno
park. an immense enclosure to which
10000 ticket purchasers were admitted
There were number of accidents
and untold intoXication. Fights We're
frequent. No less than fifty-four per-
sons were pushed or thrown into a pond
in the park. Two thousand wooden
clogs We're lost in the crush and the
park was strewn with hats, clothing
and innumerable other things. Five
hundred persons who had served terms
for pocket picking were locked up be-
fore the ceremonies, and seventy thieves
We're caught in the act OF robbing peo-
pie. In fact, the celebration was very
similar, all things considered, to any
like affair of u grand character in Eu-
rope or America.

Ottumwa, Ia, Jan. 1S.--Two masked
robbers, disguised as farmers, held up
a passenger train at Chillicothe on the
Burlington railroad last night and got
away with the contents of the express
car safe, probably $1,000 or over.
The pair of bandits jumped into the
express car through the open side door
just as the train was leaving Chilli
cothe. The express messenger was
knocked down and forced to give up the
safe keys. He and the baggageman
were cowed by revolvers. bound and
gagged. All the packages and valu-
ables in the safe We're thrown into d
grain sack. AS the train was nearing
this city The mail clerk came into the
express car and was covered by re-
volvers without being bound or gagged.
The train slowed up at Milwaukee
junction, few miles from the city and
this gave the robbers an opportunity
to jump off the train and escape in the
darkness. 1t Is thought the robbers
had confederates near here, and that
they were taken to a place Of conceal
ment in a carriage.

Homestead, Pa. Jan. 13.-The meet
Ing of the steel workers on Homestead
today was attended by about 800 men,
"a few of whom were of the business
men of the town. The meeting unani-
mously decided to endeavor to restore
organization in every department of
the Carnegie Steel works as it existed
prior to the big strike if 1892. A public
meeting will be held next Sunday to
be followed by private meeting of the
old lodges, which are to be given an
other lease of life by the Amalgama ted
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
The nipping weather today apparent
ly had no effect upon the enthusiastic
throng which filed the famous old rink.
1t was the first labor meeting held in
Homestead since the strike, and the
first time the men connected with that
movement have talked organization in
public. The gathering was composed
of old men who have not been in the
mill since the strike, old men who are
working there now, new men who
helped to break the strike and at least
one Pinkerton guard.
Roscoe Connor, one Of the Pinkerton
guards who participated in the battle
of July 6, called today's meeting to or
der. p. J. Fagen presided over the
meeting. President Garland, of the
Amalgamated association made an ad
dress of an hours duration, in which he
urged the necessity for the workers of
this country to help themselves by or
ganizing.
Mr.. Garland was followed by Hugh
O'Donnell, chairman of the famous ad
visory board Of 1892. His reception was
ample evidence of continued populari-
ty. He spoke for twenty minutes in
a general way without advising the
men to positive action. A vote was
then taken regarding reorganization.
1t was decided to go ahead
Amid intense excitement Hugh Ross,
one of the oldest employees, took the floor
and cautioned temperance in what they
did. 1t was stated that the charters of
the old lodges in existence at the time
ofthe strike had been reclaimed. The en-
rollment of names for membership pro-
posed during the excitement was de-
cided to be unwise The men We're told
privately that those who desired men,
bership should make application
privately.

BY the United Press.


Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 13.-At the
meeting of lawyers in this city Wednes-
day, to form State Bar association,
an important bill for the relief of the
supreme court will be presented for
discussion. A number of eminent
judges and leading lawyers have put
their heads together and drafted the
bill, the main purpose of which is to
provide relief for the supreme court
without increasing the number of law
Judges, the leading idea being to group
the common pleas judges of the state
into circuit courts to whom appeals
will lie from the lower courts and with
whose judgment 1t Is believed many
htigants will be content.
The btll proposes to divide the state
into six circuits with a number of coun-
ties in each, circuit an intermediate
appellate court to be established. 1t Is
provided that the judges of the several
counties shall also be judges of the
circuit court, the governor to choose
one of the number as president judge
of the circuit court. Additional com.
pensation shall be allowed the judges
for circuit court service.
