The present American minister to Co.

that day, and we went together, the
king sending down a number of his

palace. Our consuls in China have

COURT DRESS TROUBLES.
Style means a. great deal in foreign
courts, and our ministers would be
much better off if they could wear
uniform instead Of being required to
appear, as is the rule Of the state de-
partment, In the ordinary dress of an
American citizen. Our usual evening
dress is, you know, just the same as
that OF the walters, and our ministers
have, in fact, been taken for the wait
ers at some great diplomatic recep-
lions. When Lambert Tree was min

what he was about. The man took
him for waiter. The other diplomats
upon such occasions are clad in uni
form embroidered with gold lace. They
wear swords and medals, and many
of them have silk belts and sashes. If

A committee Of business men ap-
peared before the Chicago federation
of Labor recently and asked the ap-
pointment Of a committee to cooperate
with them in their fight against the
department stores. The committee was
appointed, but not before the visiting
gentlemen were told that the practice
of the retail merchants in paying small
wages, working long hours and han
ding non-union made goods was not
calculated to raise them in the esti-
nation of the union wOrkmen of Chi
cago. One of the speakers fairly eX-
pressed the sentiment of the delegates
when he administered the following
lecture: You came to us for aid and
your request shall be granted, because
you are fighting our common enemy.
You, too, have been our foes in the
past, and you have never given us a
helping hand in the hour Of need. We
welcome the occasion which brings
you knocking at our door, saving:
Help US. or we perish We oppose
Capitalization Of capital. You find
yourselves in a similar boat Your
craft is sinking, but ours is still af1oat.
In all fairness we might dismiss you
with the message: First show us how
you can aid US before we will aid you.
But we will aid you in your need, and
in the future we will demand that you
pay more attention to the sale of
union-made goods and the employment
of union labor"

A QUESTION OF
MONEY ONLY
Worden's Friends Working
Hard to Save His
Life.
Not Enough Cash Available to
Successfully Garry on the
Defense.
His Oause Was Deserted by the
Members of the American Rail-
way Union.

As the time draws near when the late OF
Salter D. Worden, who was convicted OF
murder and sentenced TO be hanged last
June, will be finally decided, the interest
in the case, which had somewhat tagged,
is again being revived.
Although the cases of Worden, Durrant
AlIender and Hill, which will ali come up
at the next session of the Supreme Court
are generally supposed to be parallel cases,
there is technical difference which may
admit of Worden having a new trial, viii e
the motions in the other cases may be
denied.
Worden was sentenced to be hanged on
the 9th of June LAST, but his attorney,
George W. Monteith, with only few
days notice, managed TO get out writ OF
babeas corpus, followed by writ of GER
tiorari upOn the ground that the records
only showed evidence of murder in the
second degree, or what is known as con-
structlye murder.
The granting OF the writ of habeas cor
pus acts only as a stay OF execution, while
the writ of certiorari compels the court
records to be brought before the Supreme
Court and admits argument. The great
est difficulty in fighting the case has been
10 raise sufficient money to carry 1t on.
The local trades unions worked vigorous
ly to raise a sufficient sum, but were great
ly hampered by the actions of the Ameri-
can Railway Union in deserting the case,
and of Worden's relatives, who almost re-
fused to aid him.
An effort was made Monday to obtain
q statement of the case from MIR. Mon
teith, but he was out of the city on busi-
ness. His clerk, Mr.. Bixby, stated his
position as follows:
81 do not think Mr.. Monteith will go to
Washington to fight the case at present,
as the journey involves heavy expense,
and of the $1,000 promised only $40 has as
yet been raised. the case Is now in
such a condition that we are confident of
winning if the fight only be made. Mr..
Monteith has been greatly worried over
the case, owing to his absolute confidence
in the entire innocence Of his client, but
at the present time that question cannot
be determined. as the case must first be
reversed. In short, Worden'S ife depends
upon the ability of his friends to raise the
necessary funds to make his defense"

FEAR FRUIT INVASION.
European Horticu1turists Determined
to Crowd Out California
Products.

The inquiry in Europe for California
fruits. according to the reports sent to J.
a. Filcher of the State Board of Trade
from Robert Hector, who is now in Ham,

OF Europe have seen what California can
produce in the shape of fruits they have
been very desirous of getting q strong
hold on the trade OF this State.
This inquiry has been viewed with con-
siderable anxiety by the producers of the
Old World, as shown by the following ex-
tract from a letter from Mr.. Hector re-
ceived yesterday by Mr.. FilcheI:
