SECRETARY HITCHCOCK.
Former Russian Ambassador Ar
rives ut New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Ethan Allen
Hitchcock, the retiring American ambas-
sador to Russia, recently appointed by
President as secretary of the interior,
arrived today from abroad on the steam
ship Teutonic.
Asked for some information concern
ing the Cars peace proposition he said:
HE is perfectly sincere and in the call
ing of the conference has taken the first
step towards the adjustment of mill
tarsm. He, Of course, does not make any
requests for disarmament at present, but
when the conference meets it is the most
likely thing in the world that the one
who called the meeting will be asked
wkhat he proposed to do. Then sugges-
lions will be in order and, Of course, the
plan will be thoroughly discussed and
perhaps counter suggestions will be made
In this way a scheme will be discussed,
and I have great confidence that much
good in the direction of a permanent
peace between the nations will be reached
The calling of the conference is the first
move in that direction
Secretary Hitchcock will assume his
new duties Immediately on reaching
Washington.

versally hidden, caused all business to
be shut down, drove thousands of men
out Of the city ,closed up the stores, va
Gated the residences. broke down our
most enterprising men; and now, in
order to divert attention from the des
Olaf ion they have caused, the money
ocracy of the locality are shouting,
'TheSe labor union, are running the
town"
The same cry is on in Oshkosh, at
Pullman. at Nirden. at Homestead, at
every point where labor organizes and
resists being driven to starvation.
The simple purpose of the labor I'M
ion is TO get a fair price for the SER
vices they have to sell. The manufac
turer determines the price at which he
will sell his product; the merchant
fixes a price; hut il laboring man
sets price and ate .npts to have 9TH
ers agree upon regular scale OF
wages. and hold to it. then ''the labor
unions are running the town.
The money trusts Of the country for
years have ruled the people with
perfect despotism. They have determ-
med what the rate Of interest should
be in every state, thy have controlled
everp legislature, they have throttled,
for over thirty years, every effort of
the people to get postal savings bank
system; they have tilwarted every en-
teavor of the people to get safe
place to put money, and whenever
they see the slightes: sign of a combi-
nation by the common people for pro-
lection. the shout is forthwith raised
by the leaders, and taken up by their
running the town.
1t is all right for the fifty Or more
iron factories Of the country to go in
to one great union for the manufac-
ture of iron. 1t is all right for them
to raise the price I'd determine the
charge on everything they have to
sell. That is all right. But for the
men who endanger their lives in the
mines, who live in novels, who sweat
and 'broil over the furnaces these
men to presume to combine for self
protection is all wrong.
1t is all right for these lords, who
have been made by the toll and CRIME
of the working slaves, to live in their
palaces, to ride in their palace cars,
to put in time as best they can at
Newport and Long Branch; but for
the starving wretches, whose hungry
children cry for bread, to presume to
combine to shorten the hours, and
give each other chance to live, is all
wrong.
For these begrined, hory-hand-
ed toilers. who must rise in the morn
ing at o'clock land reach their places
Of abode after dark, who never see
their families by daylight-for these
human beings to organize for the pur-
pose of lettering their condition, is an
outrage-t is scandalous and lis ruin
ing the town.
