TIE MOVEMENT IN ENGLAND.

but it is in Great Britain and Ireland
that the question has assumed its great
est Importance. Two hundred and sixty
town councils and other local authori-
ties in Great Britain. including those of
the two greatest cities in the empire
London and Glasgow-have petitionel
parliament for the right TO raise local
revenues from land values, and this is
supported by commercial bodies and al
most unanimously by the trades unions
which here are much stronger than they
are in the United States. So clear has
this question grown in the local affairs
OF London, for instance, that i'm the
county council election last March it, be-
came the chief cry, and the vast in
tuence of such great land owners as the
Dukes of Westminster and Bedford,
combined with the threats of tho Tory
government, was thrown solidly against
it. But the Liberal party candidates,
known locally as Progressive were
elected with an overwhelming majority.
"But nothing can be done in these
local bodies respecting the incidence of
taxation without the consent of parlia-
ment, so that all pressure in favor of
taxing land values is gathering against
that body.

LIBERAL PARTY ACTION.

Now the Tory party, which is the land
lords party, stands as rock for vest
ed rights, and it is likely to be Joined
by the old Whig element in the Liberal
party in parliament the moment that any
general attack is made on land values
So long as they hold control of parlia-
ment no steps in imperial taxation will
be taken toward the single tax, nor will
the local governments get authority to go
to the land values for their municipal
revenues.
1T is to the Radicals and the mass OF
the Liberal party-to such men as those
who forced the repeal of the Corn laws,
the extension of the suffrage and the
establishment of public schools-that
those who favor the taxation of land
values now look.
And the Liberal party bending tc
popular will, has in many ways com,
mittcd itself to the principle. In its
party platform, known here as the New
castle Programme, it declares for O
reform Of the land laws such as viii
secure the just taxation of
land values and ground rents And at
the conference last November of the
Scottish Liberal Association composed
of representatives of all the Liberia
associations in Scotland, it was un,
animously declared:
That, Whereas the land question
lies at the root of the social problem
that land monopoly, which is directly
caused by the value of land being exempt
from taxation, forces labor into involun
tary ideness, and thus creates an uncm
ployed class; and, whereas the values Of
land are created by the presence, in
dustry and growth of the people, thi,
conference is of opinion that the taxa

Ii HUNG CHANG AND RUSSIA.
He is Accused by British Minister of
RetrayinE His Country.

LONDON, August 2.-The Pekin corre-
spondent of the Standard says:
To-day (Monday) the empress dowager
openly relieved the emperor of all real
power. The ministers take their instruc-
tions directly from her, and Lii Hung Chang
practically supersedes the Tsung Ii Yamen.
1t is rumored that Sir Claude Mcdonald,
the British minister, before the Tsung Ii
Yamen accused Ii Hung Chang of betray-
ing China to Russia, and 1t is said that Lii
Hung Chang has threatened to demand the
recall of Sir Claude Mcdonald
The London Globe yesterday afternoon
says it learns on high authority that Yung
Hung said to be an American citizen, to
whom the Tsung Ii Yamen granted con-
cession for the Tien Tsin Chin Kiang rail-
road. has signed an agreement with an
English syndicate to supply the necessary
capital of $25, ,O00, 900. Thereupon the Globe
urges the government to support Yung
Hung's request "for an extension of time
to secure the capital" and says the United
States minister at Pekin is already sup
porting Yung Hung. but 1t appears from
the Globes statements that prompt Brit

Germany's attempt to induce the Tsung Ii

THE FIFTH ILLINOIS,
What is Said by a Non-Commissionea
Officer of the Resimenf

So much has been said in the press re-
ports about the conduct of the 9th Regi-
ment of Illinois Volunteers at Camp George
IL. Thomas, when the order was issued SUBJ
stituting the 160th Indiana for that regi-
ment and returning them to camp that
statement relative thereto will be read with
interest.
The following is an extract from letter
received by gentleman in this city from
his brother who is a aforementioned Off
Ger in that regiment:
I'VE were ordered out Monday, the 18th,
but did not receive orders to break camp
until Tuesday night. We broke up our
camp, loaded wagons all night in a heavy
rain, and early Wednesday morning were
marched to Rossville to take the train for
Newport News. The wagons We're unload
ing at the depot, and everything was going
on nicely when an ORDER came for the 5th
to return to camp, substituting the 16Oth
Indiana; to say that. the men were dis
gusted would be putting it very mildly
We were all about sick. When we again
arrived at the camp We found that all the
many useful things We had accumulated
during the last two months, such as the
flooring for our tents, extra water barrels.
ETC., had been carried away, and our camp
site exhibited most dilapidated appear
ance; 1t ralned all night, and we got a good
drenching. After getting up tents the next
day and having things fixed SO that they
had something of a Camp-like appearance,
We were ordered to move to the grounds
of the 1st Brigade, I'd Division, 1st Corps,
about mile east. This move was also
made through the rain, but in spite of all
our hardships, the 9TH, today, has the
cleanest and most comfortable camp in the
park The vile reports circulated regarding
the conduct of our boys are malicious false
hoods and almost every member of the
regiment has entire confidence in its COM
manding officer, Colonel Culver. Although
being ordered back was one of the greatest
disappointments to the men, yet they show
ed that they We're indeed soldiers, men that
could meet misfortune without fiinching.
We still think and hope that we will get to
the front even yet and in spite of political
pulls"

Possibilities of the National Game

To the great surprise of the spectators,
the game yesterday between the home team
and the Baltimores lasted nearly three in

wounded, couple of spectators were disa-

While the New Yorks were travelling, new

Upton TO CHALLENGE
An Irish Yacht to Try for the Ameri-
cas- Cup.

L.
retary of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club
Mr.. Kelly, has telegraphed to the London
office of the Associated Press saying that
the challenger for the Americas cup is Sir
Thomas Upton.
Sir Thomas Upton is a newcomer in
yachting circles. His yacht is to be named
the Shamrock
The New York Journal says that the
boat will be a large cutter, about the size
of the Valkyrie III, and will be built at
Belfast.
The exact dimensions and details oe con-
struction are not yet fully decided, but
everything about the yacht will be Irish.
There Will be no conditions asked in the
challenge.
The names of the designer and builder
have not yet been announced, nor Whe: her
the yacht is to be wooden or metal With
IN week, however, all the plans will be
settled and work begun as soon as possible,
in order to have the yacht ready for tun-
ing-up trials early next season. There is
no question of expense. Upton is deter
mined 10 win the cup, and is willing to
spend any amount TO accomplish his pur-
pose He has never been yachtsman but
he is now plunging into the sport with tre-
mendous enthusiasm and energy.
He is entirely satisfied with the rules of
the New York Yacht Club governing the
last race and will ask only the enforcement
of the regulations to prevent excursion
beats OYercrOwding the course.
Il have seen American yacht racing" he
said 10 members of his club, land | am
satisfied it is fair and honorable as any
gentleman could wish. The cup is not TO
be won by contortions but by The best
boat"
This is distinctly an Irish challenge.
W hile Lord Dunrayen is Irish, mis- boats
were built on the Clyde and everything
about them was decidedly Scotch with a
slight English flavor. He challenged in the
| name of the Royal Yacht Squadron, essen
TALLY an English club. Ireland played no
part in the glory of trying to win the
famous cup. But Sir Thomas Upton is in
tensely patriotic to his native isle.
He belonged to no yacht club, though he
could have Joined any he chose. He select
ed the Royal Ulster because 1t is nearest
| to his birthplace, and that organization,
| little known in America, will have the
honor of sending forth what probably will
be the most dangerous rival the American
| yachtsmen have met.

that up north Saturday and Monday are
the favorite days for big meets.
Anxious to fill in the week, Mr.. E G..

gouations looking toward the appearance
of Michael in this city some time during
the week mentioned. The idea is to first
come to this city and race, If possible un-
der the same terms as those of the pre-
vious race. The party will then proceed
to Baltimore and run off the match race
which was prevented by rain. The PROPOSE
IIO9l IS 10 run a malch race Tor nfteen
miles If desired permitting two local riders
to race against the Welsh midget The
proposition was undoubtedly made under
the belief that Moran's condition was none
of the best, owing to the injury to his
arm. The idea was to let one local man
ride seven and half miles of the distance
and then put in another man to finish the
race. This proposition, however, will hard
ly be accepted if the negotiations prove
successful for the appearance of the midget
in this city. 1t might be stated that all
tickets which We're sold for the Michael
Moran race last Wednesday have been re-
deemed by the management Of the Park
Bicycle Club.
Expecting that another match race would
be arranged Moran has been kept in train
irg. The additional time afforded him will
only serve to better his speed qualities.
The longer the event is delayed the better
will be his riding form
