ALL ORGANIZED LABOR

ing to General Milcs-His Address
to Labor Societies at the Opera
House.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June SO.-MajoE
General Nelson A. Miles, who is in the
city the guest Of "All Organized Labor
had busy time to-day sightseeing
holdlngreceptlons and addressing meet
tngs. In the morning the general was
taken through the Homestead armoT
plate works and other mills and In the
afternoon he held public reception
and in the evening he addresseod two
large audiences In the Grand Opera
House and Avenue Theatre. Preceding
the evening entertainment, General
Miles was escorted through the principal
streets by several OF the local military
organizations. The route OF parade was
lined by thousands Of people, anxious To
see and cheer the distinguished guest.
Mrs. Miles was entertained to-day by
Mrs. DR., DAILY and other prominent la-
dies by drive over the boulevard and
through the parks, after which she was
greeted by many visitors at the Schen-
ley. The party left for Cincinnati late
tonight.
In the course Of General Niles ad-
dress at the Opera House he said: II
may say on this occasion and in this
presence repeat what stated years ago
In public document, ut a crucial
time in the history of labor, that so far
as am concerned, believe that can
sincerely say that my sympathies have
been from boyhood, to the present time,
with the mon who labor in an honest
and honorable occupation
From the earliest records and tradi-
tions we find that the people who have
been Industrious, prudent, temperate,
havebecn prosperous, happy and strong
Labor has been gradually ascending
to a higher mean, to the clear sunlight
Of reason and progressive thought, y
Is being more Intelllgently directed, and
better utilized: more generally respected
and more highly appreciated. There
was time when there was far wider
gulf between him who toiled and him
who did not, than there Is to-day
at IS possible that sometimes our nd
vantages and institutions may not be
fully appreciated. II there Is any body
of people in the United States that cons
stitute the strongest patriots y y that
body of-men who toll and seek honest
occupation for the 'peheht OF themselves
and their families. They cherish the
institutions OF their country, and have
witnessed the grandest manifestations
OF their patriotism.
while the republic has in hundred
years vastly outgrown the proportions
and conditions anticipated by It's foun-
ders, the principles Of government, the
responsibilities Of citizenship and
statesnanship remaln the same. While
there are new and complicated problems
without that must be settled on prin-
cipleS-of Justice and humanity, there are q,
ties within affecting you, your children
and your chlldrens' children. requiring
the most earnest and uhselhsh wisdom
and patriotism on the part OF all Its citl-
zens, and no national duty Is OF more VI,
promote the toIlers of this great nation
in all that contributes to their welfare
and their prosperity"

BELGIUM'S CAPITAL

The Scene ofOtany Disorders Troops
Assaulted - Lively Session Of the
Chamber of Deputies.
BRUSSELS, June SO.-The rIoting
here was continued until a. m. at vari-
Gus points. The gendarmes charged
fercely several times on the boulevard
AuSpGcb, and authorized ball-oartridges
on the Grande place. One rioter was
bayonetted, and two reporters were ser
iously injured. sauce-pans and other
domestic Implements were thrown from
windows, during the night, at the
troops
The Gazette says one hundred persons
have been injured during the riotIng,
and that OF this number eight were SER
iously wounded.
AT the opening Of the chamber OF dep.
utleS to-day motion wns introduced
amending the rules so as to allow the
expulsion OF any deputy causing dis
turbance. The socialists vigorously pro-
tested, and violently mathematical the
movers. NJ. De Lantsheere, rightist, de-
Tended the proposal, and delivered
caustic Indictment of the socialists
who interrupted him by whistlIng, hoot-
aing and banging their desks.
When quiet was restored the socialists
drew moving pictures OF the victims OF
the repression lying wounded in the hos
pltals, and demanded to know VINO was
responsible for such "unjustitiabie
horrors" The premier replied: ut is
who caused the strength OF the gem
darmIe to be Increased on legal reQuisl-
tIons made before the repression ccrn-
This statement drew forth a storm Of
invectlve and socialist cries OF "Mur-
derer"
1t Is believed the premier's declaration
will appeGse the public.
During the night bricks were hurled
MT the windows of the prcmier's resi-:
dence, the porter OF which was hurt and
blood was smeared on the pavement IN
front Of the house.

"children's day" at tho Ellrs' street
fair and oriental carnival was a day
of good weather, largo attendance and
general and huge enjoyment all round.
Nearly 1000 people passed through tho
gates during the day, and although the
management expected a larger attend
ance they are very well satisfied. and
II the public will get together to-day
and wind up the affair with an attend-
ance record.breaker the charity fund
of Wheeling lodge No. 2S will have
achieved generous proportions,
The afternoon crowd was rather small
comparatively speaking, numbering
probably 1000, but those who were there
didn't lose any time in kicking over the
absenteeB, for there was plenty Of room
in which to move around, and the vari-
Gus attractions were enjoyed more than
when the grounds are packed, as they
were on Thursday, for instance. As
usual, the Midway was the point where
the larger part Of the crowd ccngre-
gated.
At night the crowd numbered fully
5000 people, and the scene from the ele-
waited stage nt the lower end of Exhib-
itors' row while the crowd was pouring
into the Midway was one OF great In
terest. Before entering the Midway,
however, most people stopped midway
between Exhibitors row and the Mid
way to witness the boxing bout between
the brothers Gardner, which was un-
doubtedly the best special of the week.

APIA, Samoa, June 10. via San Fran
cisco, June sO.-Pence and quiet now
reign In Samoa, in marked contrast to
the warllke scenes Of two months ago.
The arrival OF the auxiliary cruiser
Badger on May 1S, with the internatlon-
al commission on board, caused dis
tlnct change in AFFAIRS here. The COM
mission lost no time. but went to work
Immediately, electlns Mr., TrIpp chair
man and Mr.. Morgan secretary. The
Commissioners held interviews first with
King Tanu and then with Mataafo.
Tanu wns not Mt first recognized as
king by the commission. Tanu and his
chiefs readily agreed to give up their
arms and stated that they were pre-
pared to accept any formal government
the commission might recommend, even
II the kingship was abolished.
The following day MataHfn and his
party came alongside the Badger, sing.
ing songs and flying the Samoan fag.
The rebels were ordered to lower their
flag, which they did. The commission
ers explained to the chief that they had
come TO make peace. MataafH snid ne
and his chiefs were tired Of fighting. He
said his party would recognize any gov
ernment fixed by the commission, but
he hoped to have king in Samoa as e
was an old established institution. Mat
aaHa readily agreed to give up the guns
held by his party, but insisted that as
the weapons were the private property
Of the natives they should receive com'
pensatiOn for them, The commissioners
issued n proclamation stating TINT the
guns would either be returned or proper
payment made for them after all
troubles had been settled.
This, of course, means that payment
win be made. as 1t would be folly TO
return the weapons.
Matnufa's party nlsO asked to be rep
resented by attorneys before the COM
mission, but the request was declined.
After MataafR's men had turned IN
1,SOO rifles and the Tpnu supporters
1000 more, Tanu was invited on board
the Badger There he was informed that
the commissioners supported the de-
cIsIon OF Chief Justice Chambers and
that Tnnu has been king Of Samoa ever
since the decision had been rendered.
Tanu said that he was willing to do
anything for the good of Samoa, and
at the request OF the commissioners re-
signed his kingship to them.
The commission Is now engaged IN
formulating its report. The abolition OF
the kingship will be feature OF the
report, also the abolition OF the Office
Of president Of Apia.
Some Of the rebels, dissatisfied with
the proclamation providing for pro-
vlslonal government, have declined to
give up their rifles. Mataafa disclaims
any responsibility for this action,
