wAGE-EARSERs' MASS MEETING.
Mr.. Gompers Showed the Advanced
poS;.fon of Orpnuized Labor.


The mass meeting of the wage-earners OF
the city last evening was fairly wen at-
tended. The meeting was called under the
auspices of the Central Labor Union anu
Building Trades Council, and was presided
over by Mr.. William Silver, president OF the
latter body.
The object OF the meeting was to demon
strate to the workmen of the District not
connected with any labor bodies, the behe-
fits TO be derived from organization.
On this line the speakers went farther
and argued that the greatest and most
lasting benefits to the working classes
were to be secured only through tfades
unions, pure and simple.
speeches were made by p. ]. McGuire,
editor of The Carpenter Mi J. b. Len
non treasurer of the A. f. of L., and Mr.
Ciomners, the president of the A f OF L.
The last speaker made powerful argu-
ment in favor of trades unionism, and IL
lustrated by the reception accorded the
labor leaders yesterday at the capitol
by Speaker Reed the great change which
had been wrought in favor of organized
labor in the last few years
In this connection the speaker, no doubt,
referred to the repulseS met by ten CoSey
and the coInmonweal army, when he SAID
that some time ago a band of unorganiZed,
discontented men had appealed TO Congress
for a nearing and in answer were duDbed
and ordered to keep off the grass.
President Gumpers, in further prcof oil
the recognition of organized labor, referred
TO the courteous reception rendered the ex-
ecutive council of the American Federation
of Labor by President Mckinley, on Tues
day, when lac gave them long hearing
In conclusion he referred Go the nationa
headquarters being removed to Washing
ton. This, he said, was done with a
purpose; that the voice Of labor might be
heard at the National Capital

CHINESE INVASION.
Particulars of the German Capture
of Kiau Chau City.

Of Kiau Chau City.
London, Dec S.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says:
On Friday last Captain Decker with
210 German marines, left Kiao Chau
bay to occupy the surrounding villages,
whence they proceeded to capture the
city. The Chinese forts opened fire
and the Germans replied, killing three
of the garrison which thereupon fed
in disorder The Chinese general in
command was captured, but after
wards liberated. Several German sail
ors were injured by stones flung by
the inhabitants of the village. In re-
turn for this the head men of these
villages were beaten with bamboo
sticks by order of the German COM
mander.
1t is reported here that China is will
ing to pay an indemnity of 100000
taels (about $7S2,000) and to grant all
the German demands, including the
temporary cession of kiao Chau bay
and adjoining territory.
4 dispatch to the Times from Pekin
confirms the report that China, hoping
for the evacuation Of f<iao Chau, agrees
Internationally to all the demands OF
Germany
The Times, dealing editorially with
the situation at IIiao Chau notes that
the foregoing telegram, enumerating
the German demands, does not include
the permanent occupation of Kiao
Chau, and points out that the evidence
is conflicting as to whether this was
officially demanded. 1t says, in any
case, now that the other demands have
been conceded, what will be the
grounds for insisting on a permanent
occupation?
