Southern Cotton Mill Owners View of
Labor Troubles.

Special Dispatch to The ESening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, August 21.-It is
generally accepted as a fact among south
ern cotton mill men that the cotton mill
men Of New England who have been most
seriously affected by the great increase of
cotton mills in the south are aiding in the
organization OF the southern employees.
The mill owners in the south charge that
this sudden interest in the welfare Of their
employees is really a covert attack upon
the southern mills by attempting to ere
ate disaffection among the operatives. The
mill owners are opposing the organization
and several strikes have developed as a
result in the North Carolina mills.
One hundred and fifty union operatives
who left the Erwin cotton mills at Dur
ham are yet out. Other union operatives
who did not strike will work out their
notices President Erwin of this mill noti-
fed them that no union men would be EN-
ployed and gave them two weeks notice.
Union operatives at the Pearl mills at Dur
ham have decided not to strike for the
present Union organizers have gone from
Durham to Haw River to organize the
operatives in former Governor Hollis mills.
They have been quietly at work on this
movement in North Carolina mills for
months The movement ostensibly was in
augurated by New England labor unions
to get all the operatives in southern mills
in the union.

Estimated Effect of Forest Fires in
Colorado and Wyoming.
STILL BURNING IN MIDDLE PARK
Ranchmen There Fear Their Homes
Will Be Destroyed.
RAINS IN SIERRA MADRE

DENVER, Col, August 21-Ten million
dollars damage is estimated to be the re-
suit of the forest fires In Colorado and
Wyoming. This estimate was made by
c. +. Wantland, general agent of the
Union Pacific railroad According to that
official, the loss timber is only a COM
paratively small item. Mr.. Wantland said
today:
I'm many places the fires are spreading
over almost bare country, land where
there is nothing but young growth. which
might have made the forests of ten and
twenty years hence If it had not been for
these fires.
Land which could have been sold for
homes because of the pleasant surround
.ings will now for years not be worth much
The vicinity of Glenwood Springs and such
places, where the tourists resort, will be
much affected in a commercial way, be-
cause the scenery will be impaired
In Middle Park the fires are burning SO
nercely that ranchmen are beginning to
fear that their homes will be swept away.

MAY IGNORE STEVENSON
MANY POPULISTS WANT CANDIDATE
OF THEIR OWN.
Prospects of Harmony in Meeting of
National Committee Not So
Good Now.

CHICAGO, August 21.-The latest reports
received here indicate that the populist ma
tional committee, which Is to meet in this
city August %, may not be as harmonious
as predicted when the executive committee
was in session here early in the month.
The meeting is called for the purpose of
selecting candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency. When Mr.. Towne declined the NOM
fnatfon Of the populists 1t was generally
supposed that Mr.. Stevenson would receive
the populist Endorsement by general con-
sent. The correspondence WHICH has taken
place among members Of the national COM
mittee of that party since the executive
committee meeting in this city ten days ago
make it plain that this result, while appar-
emily still probable, will not be accomplish
ed witho06 struggle. Indeed, it is under
stood that many of the leaders of the party
are strongly urging that the committee
shall name an independent candidate.
Those who take this position include ma
jority of the officers of the national com
mittee among them being Chairman But
Ter and Treasurer Washburne who are pro-
nounced in their views. Vice Chairman Ed
mtston is also said to incline toward the
opinion that wisdom demands that the
pcruliStS have a candidate of their own In
the field. Secretary Edgerton is credited
with being the only officer of the organiza-
ton who is friendly to the Endorsement of
Mr. Stevenson's candidacy.
Mr.. Stevensons friends claim that Edger-
ton is working effectively in their behalf.
The best canvass of the committee they
have been able to make causes them to feel
hopeful of the result. Still. those now COM
mitted to this course are considerably below
a majority In numbers.
Senator Butler and others who agree with
him contend that it will be suicidal for their
party not to have a candidate of their own
political faith in the field. They also hold
that unless there is populist candidate for
second place many populist votes will be
driven from Mr.. Bryan.
The national committee has full power to
act in accordance with the instructions of
the Sioux Falls convention, and it is pre-
suned that it's decision when made will be

ANTI-QUAY MEN DENOUNCED
CHARGED WITH FOSTERING FUSION
WITH DEMOCRATS.
Strong Resolutions Passed mt Meeting
of Republican State Committee
Mt Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, August 21-The re-
publican state committee held speciai
meeting in this city today and passed strong
resolutions denouncing the action or the
anti Quay or "insurgent' faction OF the
party in advocating fusion with the demo-
cratic party in certain legislative districts,
and providing for the disciplining of repub-
licans who thus disregard the party rules.
The preamble to the resolutions sets forth
that cit is openly charged that certain per-
sens claiming to be republicans are engaged
in an effort to form fusion with the DEM
ocratic party, even to the extent OF voting
for democrats when necessary. whereby the
success of republican candidates In congress
sional, senatorial and representative dis
trfcts may be imperiled.
such persons claiming to be republicans
are guilty of the treachery of making con-
tests at republican primary electlons ana
conventions and with a dishonorabie dlsre,
gard of the result of such primaries ana
conventions proceed at once to consplre Tor
the defeat of the nominees of such conven-
tions where they have not been success
full.
"The candidates nominated in regular
party convention where such fusion repup-
licans have been successful IN many cases
openly boast of their intention not TO enter
a republican caucus at the next session OF
the legislature, and in many cases nave
sought the Endorsement of the democratic
party, while at the same time planning TO
defeat any colleagues they may have upon
the ticket
The resolutions provide for a committee
Of seven to investigate and report to the
state committee 1.-The names or any person
or persons claiming to be republicans and
guilty of the dishonarble practices afore-
said and the counties or districts In which
such efforts at fusion may exist, so that the
state committee may take prompt and ef-
fective action, and may be able to make
such recommendations to the next state
convention as will enable that body to pro-
vide such rules and regulations as will pre-
vent such practices in the future
The committee placed William Henry
Sayen on the ticket as an elector-at-large
In place of ex-Representative Arnold, who
resigned. and named DR.. Ely Of Lacka-
wanna county as a district elector in place
of F. L. Kinner, resigned.
United States Senator Penrose made
brief speech, urging the necessity of elect
ing republican congressman and a straight
out, strong republican to the United States
Senate.

STORM At sHEaOYGax. WIS.
Nearly 100 buildings Destroyed, hut
No Lives Lost.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis, August PA re-
count of the buildings wrecked here in the
tornado yesterday shows that first reports
were considerably exaggerated. Neverthe-
less. nearly 100 buildings were destroyed,
and the monetary losses foot UP about
100000. The most remarkable feature of
the storm is that not life was lost Most
of the wrecked buildings were frame af-
fairs of small worth.
Reports from the north show that the
storm originated at Marinette and followed
the line of the Chicago and Northwestern
railroad south to Oshkosh. There 1t veered
to the eastward and spent its fury on Lake
Michigan. While it did considerable dam
age all along its track, it was most severe
here. The width of the storm was about
half a mile. 1t did not move close to the
earth only touching at wide intervals.

PORTSMOUTH. Ohio, August 21.-Four

CALL FOR REINFORCEMENTs
Italian Commander at Taku Sends
400 Marines to Pekin.

LONDON, August 21.-Owing probably
to the Pekin wire being cut little news Of
conditions in the Chinese capital has come
through this morning. What has reached
London indicates that the allies are In need
Of reinforcements.
The commander of the Italian second
class cruiser Fieramosca telegraphs from
Taku, according to the Rome correspondent
Of the Daily Mall that very urgent re-
quests were coming from Pekin on Satur-
day for the immediate dispatch of further
troops, and that, in answer to these, 400
italian marines were sent off posthaste.
The japanese minister in London is said
to have received a telegram last evening
announcing that subsequent to the entry
into Pekin a Japanese detachment went
to the imperial palace to afford whatever
protection was necessary. The enemy were
In strength, and fighting was still proceed
ing when the message was sent to Tokyo.
The main body of the japanese was then at
An Ting Men gate, the Tartar city, with
headquarters at the japanese legation.
Where is the Imperial Family:
Divers paragraphs as to the movements of
the Chinese imperial family continue to be
received at the treaty ports and are thence
faithfully transmitted to the European capi-
tails. Those representing the court as hav-
ing left Pekin are of exclusive Chinese orr
gin. According to them their majesties are
well on their way TO Sian-fu, about 500
miles inland.
Fighting was going on at Pekin Saturday.
according to one report, but according 10
a dispatch received by the admiralty from
Rear Admiral Bruce the allies entered
the sacred city of Pekin Friday.
If the Chinese government is at Sian-fu
there is no means of getting at them, ac-
cOrding to the military men, without a pro-
longed campaign and with an army as larg4
as Lord Roberts TO secure the bases Of
communicat tions.
Advices from the provincial capitals show
that the attitude Of the southern mandar-
ins has been far more friendly since the
allies reached Pekin. Some of the magis
trates have been issuing proclamations
commanding the Chinese to attend to busi-
ness, to avoid sedition and acknowledging
that the invasion Of the foreigners is justi-
fed.

GROUND RENT DEEDS.
In Maryland They Are Taxable as
- Leases.

The commissioner OF Internal revenue has
modified the ruling of his office on the sub
ject dated August %, 1899. and now holds
that the form Of deed used in the state of
Maryland in ground rent conveyaneing is
taxa.-e as a lease and not as deed of
conveyance. After an investigation Of the
subject the commissioner finds that the
system prevailing in Maryland is altogether
different from that in some other places.
The estates created in Maryland by these
instruments are leasehold estates and per-
sonal property, while in Pennsylvania they
are sconveyances of real estate descending
to the heirs, and not passing to the per-
sCnal representatives, as in the case of
Maryland. Under the former ruling lie
tax on conveyance where the considera-
ton was $4,000 would be SO, while under
the ruling today the tax could not ex-
