Washington. y C., Dee. ~ Score,
IIry Gage has written the following to
President Gnmpcrs of the Federation
Of Labor.
Il have read with care the resolutions
adopted on the 10Th inst, at Nashville.
by the convention of the Federation OF
Labor. which recite as follows:
Resolved. That we declare our,
selves most positively opposed to the
Gage financial bill recently introduced
in congress by the secretary Of the
treasury |; is a measure that if adopt,
ed as "A law, will only more firmly rive,
the gold standard on the people of the
country and Tcrpetuatc its disastrous
effect in every form
"'Resolved. That We pronounce the
Gage bill an u~ndisguised effort to retire
our ~greenback currency and all gov,
eminent paper money with a view to
the substitution of national bank totes
in their stead and thus fasten the ma
tional bank system for years upOn tho
American people
Nov, if it be true thai the gold
standard. by which things have been
measured. as to price for the last 60
years in this country is inimical to tho
interests of the labOring classes of the
United States. then | think it is mimi
cal to all classes. In other words, | do
not believe that the exploitation Of one
class by another, either through false
weights. partial laws or bad monetary
system. can be made to work for the
permanent benefit of the exploiting
class itself. or for the general veal,
even were it defensible on any ground
Of right or justice, which ii is NOT.
Granting. therefore, that the perma,
argue, operates in this evil direction,
then your resolutions of condemnation
are well founded and | am Justly charg-
ed either with ignorance which consti,
tutes me a foolish adviser, or with a
perversity of motive which makes me
an evil adviser.
i have a right to disavow the charge
OF ~perversity or evil purpose since there
is nothing in my whole life as related to
my fellow men. either in word or deed,

st. Petersburg. Dec. 22.-In a strong
ly anti-British article today the Novosti
says:
I'm consequence of the pretentions of
England to compensate herself for the
Russian occupation of Port Arthur by
the acquisition of Port Hamilton or
LaZareff, and in view of the possibility
of the disturbing action of Japan, Eu-
rope stands on the brink of grave dipIo,
matte complications. 1t is therefore
well to recall that the reinforcement
OF the German squadron in the Pacific
permits Russia. France and Germany
to effectively prevent a disturbance or
the balance of power between the three
powers on the one hand, and Great
Britain on the other, such as might be
produced by violent seizures of terri
tory"
The Novosti expresses the hope that
the isolation of Great Britain in regard
to the other European powers will
"paralyZe her action sufficiently to per,
nit the preservation of peace from the
dangers threatening it at the present
moment

dian affairs, to cnjnin them from de
CIHTing Void the lease to certain
mining lanus in J'intah Indian reserva,
ton and from interfering in the neces-
sary operations Of the company on their
property. It is asserted in the com
pany'S declaration that it had a valid
and recognized lease from the Indians
to the lands on the reservation. but the
government forfeited its lease and its
deposit of $4,000 on the ground that the
company did not complete and file its
surveys Of leased lands within the time
prescribed by the interior department.
The delay, it is asserted. was caused by
4 railway accident while the company's
agent was on his way east with the
maps of survey.

or Senate Wolcott and his sympathla,

Mr., Wolcott has since his return from
Europe talked long and earnestly with
the president. and he defends the prosi-
dent while taking n nositinn of omen

The assertion is made by Mr.. Wols
colts svmpathizers that Secretary Gage
misreDresents the administration ana
that if it were not for the political dis
turbance it would cause Mr.. Gage
might retire from the cabinet This
statement. which is now made priyate,
". is likely to be made publicly before
long. If this is done the issue will he

THE CHINESE PUZZLE.
CHINA HAS GIVEN RUSSIA USE
OF ONE OF ITS PRINCIPAL
PORTS.
And Now Great Britain is Demanding
a Slice of the Cake-Russia is Re
garded as the M%ongolian's Only
Friend-Russia, Germany and
France Against England.

Pekin, Dec. 22.-The Chinese govern,
ment has granted Russia permission to
winter a squadron at Port Arthur.
Great Britain demands a guild pro quo
if concessions nave beer made to other
powers. 1t has been suggested that the
Japanese and British occupy Wei-Hai-
Wei jointly.
The situation at Kiao-Chou bay re,
mains unchanged. The Germans re-
main unyielding and the Chinese coun,
ellis are divided as to whether it should
be peace or war with Germany.
China regards Russia as her only
friend, and is asking her advice alone.
British influence is nil. having suffered
greatly through the failure of the loan
negotiations. China is now negotiate
ing a loan with Russia. The latter de-
mands the dismissal of the British rail-
road engineers in north China, and it
is probable that it will be granted. The
German drill instructors will be dis
missed at the expiration of their con-
tracts and will be replaced by Russians.
Russian officers have already been ap-
pointed to drill the armies of north
China.

Lansing, Mich. April 3O.-The state
legislature has given railroad legisla-
tion. of which there is plethora, va
cation until May IL, when all the bills
affecting railroad interests will be up |
for discussion. The house has agreed
uron several dates for the consideration
of these measures, but postponement
has been had each time at the request
of the anti-railroad men. The bill TO
compelrailroad companies to carry pi-
cycles as baggage has passed both
houses Of the legislature, ii not having
been opposed by the railroads them
selves. and it will doubtless receive the
signature Of the governor, as he is GER
| tain to sign any measure which may pe
| deemed to be directed against the roads.
The house Wednesday killed the Dill
| of Senator Covell, which had passed the
senate and which required the governor
to make his appointments during the
sessions Of the legislature, so that they
J might be confirmed by the senate. III

the most important which the goVerno
