Hazleton. Pa, Sept. 1.-THE American
Federation Of Labor has taken up the
cause Of the miEe workers in this region.
The federation organizers are already at
work here. and when this has been COM
pleted a uniform scale will be formulated
and presented to the operators. There
will be no marching or anything IN the
nature Of q demonstration and 10 at.
tempt will be made to bring about SYM
pathetic strike movements. The peace
prevailing during the past few days was
broken yesterday by q conflict between
striking and working miners, which for
time threatened to be serious. A body
Of about $50 men and boys, led by q
score Of women made q raid on the Car
son, Star and Monarch collieries at
Honeybrook. near Audenried. The wo-
men, as we'll as their followers. were
armed with clubs and stones, and before
the 800 workers could - induced to
come out ths missiles were used.
Some Of the women stationed them
selves on the top Of q culm bank and
pelted the workinemen with stones. One
Hungarian was dubbed over the head
ANU DdUly luJuTeU Inc encounter was
the direct result CT an attempt to start
up the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre COL
lieries. The superintendent called fer as
sistance Of Sheriff, Scott, OF Schulkill
county, in which county Honeybrook
lies. and that official made a demand on
General Goblin for body of soldiers. A
battalion Of the Eighth regiment. under
Colonel Magee. hurriedly marched from
their Audenried camp to the scene Of
the trouble, but it was over and the men
scattered when the soldiers reached
there and the battalion returned to
camp. The soldiers had not been out of
sight ten minutes before q crowd CT
strikers bounced upon a squad OF Hun
| garians who were screening coal near
| the Star washery. and forced them &c
| quit work. This second movement re-
suited in the sending of a squadron Of
the governors troop to the disturbed
| district.
Governor Hastings last night sent o
message to General Goblin ordering him
to suppress all meetings having a ten
dency to incite riot. This will doubt
less prevent the proposed labor meeting
scheduled for tomorrow night.

A Libel On the Judges

Lord Esher, Master Of the Rolls,
still active at 50 years of age, has
been giving some unconventiona al
dicta from the bench marked by
common seuse, Of late. In an action
for libel involving the profession al
sensibilities Of two musicians, one
OF whom was Tito Matte, the com
poser, the Judge stopped a lawyer
who wished to quote authorities as
to what may be libel, saying: "If
you do, it will be serious libel on
us. We ought to know enough law
to decide a wretched case of this
size, where the damages were only
EGO, without counsel having to help
us by referring to authorities. Do
shut up your book"

Hawaii and the United States.

While we are opposed to the an
nexation of Hawaii for many and
cogent reasons, we are equally OPP
posed to any limitation of its com
mercial intercourse with the United
States, such as seems to be implied
in joint resolution introduced into
the House by Evans tD) of Ken
lucky, q member of the Committee
Of Ways and Means, requesting the
President to give notice OF the de-
sire of the United States to termin-
ate the existing commercial agree
ment with that country. We are
opposed to this not only on general
free trade grounds but because the
nearness of the islands to the Paci-
fic Coast is peculiarly favorable to
the maintenance Of mutually pro-
ftable commercial relations, and
while such relations cannot possibly
damage the East, even viewed from
protectionist standpoint, they are
of marked benefit to this coast
But there are also international
reasons which make it polite, as
we'll as just, to strengthen our com
mercial ties with Hawaii. While the
United States would be politically
damaged, as to its internal affairs,
by the admission OF a country with
so large an Asiatic population,
whore cheap labor is regarded as a
fundamental necessity and the gov
eminent dominated by pious land
thieves, our foreign relations require
that these islands shall not become
"protectorate" or colony OF some
European or Asiatic power, there
being danger in both these direc-
tions. 1t is of the first Importance
to avoid such possibility by peace
full means, and the only peaceful
means is to strengthen the ties OF
commercial intercourse, thus aiding
to maintain its independence.
We believe that in an Independent
nationality Hawaii has bright

Japan is Bumptious.

1t veJges on imperlinenco for
Japan to call Hawaii to account for
not having consulted or apprised it
in advance OF the annexation treaty.
Hawaii is free state, and it has as
much right to enter into secret di-
plomatic corses or to choose it's con-
fidants in pursuing any measure Of
diplomacy as has japan itself. But
in this case there was nothing secret
in the preliminary moves for the
treaty. II memory serves, the new
Constitution OF Hawaii makes an
nexation to the United States one Of
it's corner stones. In his public adj
dresses President Dole has pledged
himself and his Government to seek,
with unremitting diligence, for po-
litical union with this country. At
Washington, Ministers Thurston
and Hatch in turn openly and per-
sistently avowed their purpose to
offer an annexation treaty for the
consideration OF President McKin-
ley and the Senate Of the Fifty-fifth
Congress. So the charge that the
procedure has been secret falls to
the ground. We repeat that we
know of no rule of international law
which could have restrained Hawaii,
il it had 50 chosen, to carry on its
negotiations with the United States
under seal; but 4 remains true that
all that it did, il did openly.
We concede that courtesy might
properly demand, in the case of a
state having tributary or dependent
relations with it, that such state
should consult it before entering
upon policy which might damage
that country's vested interests.
Thus before seeking annexation to
Great Britain, for example, Hawaii
would be expected to ask the advice
and consent of the United States.
But what vested rights can Japan
claim in Hawaii She has simply
used the group as a dumping
ground for surplus coolies. Japa-
nese commerce with the islands is
not large, the taxes which subjects
of the Mikado pay there are infni-
tesimal, the plantations, railways
and great business houses belong to
the whites, and the ownership OF
the Hawaiian public debt resides in
the United States, England and
Germany. Japan has never loaned
the republic a cent. Considering
these facts, the protest OF Japan ia
gratuitous aud deserves rebuke, not
only from the Government of Ha-
wall, but from that of the United
States.-S. F. Chronicle.

SUGAR HOUSE GOING.
More Men Discharged : The
Water Tax Controversy
Taken to Court This
Morning.


The American Sugar Refining Company
is steadily following out its express de-
termination to close down its refinery in
this city as soon as the present raw ma
terial on hand is worked up. Last night
ninety hands were discharged, and an
other wholesale reduction of the force
is soon expected to take place. There
were only 450 men at work today, much
less than one-half Of the usual force.
Superintendent sNeise has gone to Europe
for an indefinite stay.
Application was made to Judge Lippin-
colt in chambers this morning by William
D. Edwards. representing the American
Sugar Refining Company, for writ of
certioari to recover the water bill of the
company for November.
The grounds on which the certiorai was
asked for are;-
First-That the city had no power to re-
scind the resolution passed by the Street
and Water Board whereby the city agreed
to reduce the cohnpany's water tax upon
the company's paying $4,000 back water
taxes which Were in dispute, and there
fore the rescinder is null and void
Second-That even if it had that power,
the rates which it has levied against the
company are in excess of that charged
other concerns, and therefore unjust and

Judge Lippincott took the papers and
will announce his decision next week.

CITT'S WASTE WATER
Street and Water Commits
sioners to Test the
Sugar House
Charges.
METERS TO BE PUT IN SCHOOLS
Steps 10 Be Taken to Check Any
Unnecessary Consumption in
Public Buildings.

The Street and Water Commissioners
this morning decided to put meters in
Schools Nos. 8 and 6 and in the City
Hail. to test the quantity OF water used.
This will be done for the purpose of fig
uring out, as far as possible, the water
consumed throughout the city for which
the city receives no pay. There are the
public schools and public offices, police
stations, and, not to mention the fire
hydrants from which it is absolutely i'm
possible to estimate what water is used
at fires The Commissioners, however,
viii strike some figure.
All this is being done in reply to the
criticisms Of Mr.. w. D. Edwards, coun-
sci for the American Sugar Refining
Company, who has demanded the re
turn of the SIS, 900 paid to the city. In
the communication, which Mr.. Edwards
sent to the Mayor and Street and Water
Commissioners, he saids-
"Out of the daily consumption there
must be deducted the water used f2r
pubic buildings and for ire and the
public services; this has been estimated
BY Captain Hooker at 1ls million gallons
per day. In my Judgment, this is an
overestimate.
The Commissioners differ from Mr.. Ed
wards, ana TO prove IhaI the ngureS are
above test. MIR. Edwards also said
II was urged at our conference that,
through waste and leakage, the city lost
several millions OF gallons of water daily
before reaching the consumer and not in
Guiding the waste by the consumer. OF
course each taxpayer must bear his share
Of the unavoidable public waste, but not
the waste of the other consumers. To
justify the present charges against my
clients. the city would have to show a
waste of S,009000 gallons per day; in other
words, that the city was paying to the
East Water Company, every day in the
year, S2s5 for wafer not consumed, or
kI0s040 per year. If such a waste Of 80
per cent has continued to exist in Jersey
City for years, without discovery or
abatement it is certainly time for the
taxpayers to protest and ask the reason
why. l do not believe. nor does your
Board claim, that any such waste exists
For the purpose of discovering if there
be any grounds for this charge of waste
the Commissioners propose to make an in
vestigation, and if what Mr.. Edwards
says be true, they will promptly put a
stop to it.

Commissioners, this morning, the $1,000
