HIVE No FEAR ()F A CLASH
NEGOTIATIONS AMONG THE pow
Frs ARE PROGRESSING
SATISFACTORILY
RIoTINGs IN CHINA CONTINUE
Minister at Pekin StrenuousIy OPP
poses Amy Withdrawal of the
Military Forces at
Present.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 5.-Within
the last twenty-four hours the United
States government has received from its
representatives at foreign capitals much
material information as to the attention
of the powers to the Russian proposal to
evacuate Pekin. 1t is stated authorita-
lively that if there was at any time q
prospect Of a serious international cash,
this has been very much if not entirely
relieved by the harmonious character of
the communications these governments
are making. It is said, however, that
the answers go much beyond the tenta-
tive character of those heretofore referred
to, and are of a conclusive nature, 50
far as showing the purposes of the gov
ernments, although they may not be re-
garded as conclusive in accepting or re-
jecting the particular proposition advanc-
ed by Russia.
If the present state of affairs in China
is protracted until the arrival of Field
Marshal Count WaIdersee. which should
occur in ten days or a fortnight, it is not
to be doubted that the government of
Germany will endeavor to have all the ne
gotiations with the Chinese government
conducted through that official as a rep
resentative, not of Germany alone but
of all the powers. 1t is gathered that
strong arguments will be advanced to
support the advisability Of combined ac-
ton through one agency in this manner
as the best means of securing speedy
and generally satisfactory termination of
the Chinese trouble. In fact, it will be
hot iC ri
adjustment of the difference between Chi
ma and the powers.
TROOPS SHOULD STAY IN PEKIN.
If there is any change in the military
situation since Gen. Chaffees dispatch,
supposed to be of the Goth ultimo, no word
of it has reached Washington 1t is I'M
derstood that the disturbances and out
RACES upon missionaries continue in some
of the districts outside of Pekin. 1t is
believed here, possibly because of these
reports, that the foreign ministers in Pc
kin probably will enter an earnest objec-
ton to any withdrawal of troops If their
respective governments delay action upon
the Russian proposition until they have
had chance to express their views. The
German foreign office appears to be ac-
tive in furthering the negotiations, and
quite number of messages have passed
between Washington and Berlin. Those
persons most likely to have correct I'M
derstanding Of Germany's attitude look
for the suggestion of a compromise, or
middle course, which will be neither an
acceptance nor a rejection of the Rus
sian proposal, but will be such salts
factory middle ground that all the pow
ers, including Russia, can agree to it.
For instance, 1t is suggested that a GER
tain limit be fixed on the extent of the
military detachments to be left at Pekin,
with an understanding that each small
detachment confine it's quarters so long
as quiet prevails in Pekin, but be ready
to act in case Of further Chinese depreda-
lions.

JAPAN IN THE SWIM.

Now that the need of military move
being borne in mind that of the nations
concerned, those which cried loudest
were those which did least, while those
who were least identified with anti-Chi-
nese sentiment, and had least interest to
advance, took the leading parts in the
movement on Pekin.
The American and Japanese, especially
the latter, did the bulk of the fighting
from Taku to Pekin. The Japanese troops
showed the highest proficiency as sol
diers, and were able to advance with
more rapidity and effect than any of their
European associates.
Japan's position, as one Of the recog-
nized great states of the world, is Sc
cure. 1t is a marvel that such progress
In the productive arts should have been
made by any people in SO short a period
as is included in the life of japan as
civilized power.
When statesmen like Senator Davis
give expression to the thought that the
alliance of America and England with
Japan is a desirable international COM
bination for the protection and promo
ton of American interests in the East
and elsewhere, there is a recognition, I'M
conscious perhaps, but none the less sig
nifcant, bestowed on the little island ma
liz 4h1
scale of nations.
The outcome of the Japanese-Chinese
war brought Japan to the front as a
possible great power. The insistance of
Minister Ito at the critical time on the
fullest recognition by the other powers
of her rights as an independent and self
sustaining nation render it impossible for
any Of the great powers hereafter to re-
fuse to recognize her significance.
And Japan has that with which she can
effectively back her position. She has
a well drilled and splendidly equipped
army, ready for instant and effective
service abroad as well as at home as
was made plain by the progress of re-
cent events in China Her standing as
a naval power has been long conceded.
A new factor in international affairs
thus appears on the scene. Nations like
Spain, Italy and Denmark have sunk into
comparative insignifcance. while this
young nation, by force of boundless ma
tional vigor, seems to have shaken off all
appearance of decrepitude and to have
been born again. She is the infant among
the nations, but Japan is a lusty infant
whose future is evidently assured as one
Of the most progressive, courageous and
ingenious peoples that have borne any
part in the worlds affairs during the
present century.

GOV. LIND ON LABOR.

Gov. Lind was peculiarly happy in the
address he delivered on Labor dav Ho
treated the occasion not as a. politician
but as a statesman He discussed that
question which of all others is fraught
with the greatest Importance to the me-
chanical toilers of the country-tbe o,as-
ton of how to avoid strife between
employer and employee
The attitude of the st. Paul Globe ON
this subject has been well known for wears
We have insisted that when the opposing
interests in cases of industrial strife are
unable or unwilling to agree upon a basis
of adjustment the state should, In the in
terest of society itself, step in and take
at least as much pains to bring about
Ian adjustment as it now takes to pre-
serve the peace.
1t is social crime to tolerate such
conditions as have prevailed at different
centers of population and Industry with
in the past six months. Sooner or later
the palpable humbug which is maintained
in legislation through existing media
ton and arbitrator laws will be fully ex-
posed and will cease tc exist It's place
wiz be taken by an enactment which
VIII be designed at least to accomplish
something. Such an enactment will be the
product of fearless craftsmanship. 1t
will come into existence in spite Of the
opportunisrn of politics. The public dem
agogue and bireling who controls his ac-
ton in public life according to his hopes
and fears, with reference to the private
interests which he is likely to affect. viii
lose his grip one day, and questions like
that taken up by Gov. Lind will be con-
sidercd on their merits in the legislative
hall as they are In the public print and
roStrum.
There may be some doubt, and there is
considerable such doubt in the minds OF
many students of the labor question
whether it would be advisable for labor
Unions to incorporate themselves, as sug-
gesIcd by Gov. Lind Indeed, there is nc

MAKE HAsTE SLOWLY.

The opinion of County Attorney Bige-
low puts an effective end, for year at
least, to the project of new county Jail.
1t does not matter whether the public
concur in the conclusions of the county
attorney, the only proper course is to be
governed by his decision and let the pro-
ject of county jail go for the time be-
ing.
The city and county are in sad need OF
public building, such as was contem-
plated. The need will continue to in
crease, and the present building, which
is in state of collapse, is not unlikely
to tumble about the ears of it's occupants
before provision can be made to supply
proper substitute for it.
The Clio b has urgently advocated
tho early construction of county jail,
and 1t has advanced repeatedly the view
that the time had come when the present
municipal building could be extended over
the site of the present jail with the great
est advantage to both city and county.
We now believe that neither project
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-09-06

occasion why they should do so. In order
by law for the adjustment through the in
PREVENTION of the state of existing indus
trial disputes, the Incorporation of-labor
unions or aggregations of unions is by no
means a pre-essential.
On the main proposition of the need of
some enactment which Will proaote the
establishment of peace as incident to in
dustrial progress, Gov. Lind is sound.
His address is one for which he is entitled
to the thanks both of the employing and
the employed interests. In the following
sentences he gives expression to an idea
which has frequently found advocacy in
these columns. Says Gov Lind:
This, in my judgment, is our oppor-
tune time for bringing about this reform:
Our state now enjoys industrial peace.
Let the legislature which conyenes next
January provide by well considered le2is-
lation tribunal for the trial of dis
puteS between capital and labor whose
DEGREES shall be bind ng and enforceable
The first enactment of this character
may prove defective in some details, but
1t can be amended from time to time as
experience suggests. Even tentative,
defective law would be better than no
law on a subject so vital as this. Law
and order are the first conditions of go ID
government. The lockout IS nuisance,
a menace that must yield co thu higher
interests of society. The strike is a re-
sort to barbarism. 1t may have served a
purpose to protest against wrong; it can
never afford remedy. He who resorts
to force arrays against him every in
terest of society. and cannot prevail.
And society that relies on nil taFy to
maintain order cannot long survive. The
only government that is tolerable, the
only government that can permanently
survive, is one resting on law, just and
equal to all interests and to all classes,
restraint to the strong and protection
to the weak
These sentiments, like the great body of
the governors Labor day address, are en-
titled to the most thoughtful considera-
ton both of the employers and employees,
and merit enforcement in the interest of
society itself.
1t would be neither gracious nor consid-
crate to draw here any conclusions re-
garding Capt. Van SAINT, the other orator
of Labor day, or regarding the address
delivered by him. He is well-meaning in
telligent gentleman, who processes, and
no doubt entertains, the very deepest in
terest in those who do mechanical toll
In no other way could the captain show
his attachment in that behalf, or divide
with Gov. Lind the esteem of the laboring
classes to the same extent as by publicly
expressing his adhesion to the general
idea embodied in the governors address
and committing himself to embodying in
his messages to the legislature, in case
of his election, recommends tons designed
to secure the enactment of such a law as
Gov. Lind outlines.
With both these distinguished gentle
men committed to favorable actin in tat
behalf, Minnesota would, at an early day,
occupy the position now enjoyed by New
Zealand of being a state without strikes.

should be entertained until the money s
available to engage in it.
If, as the county attorney argues, there
IS no express authority contained in the
statute to issue bonds for jail purposes.
there is no justification for any implica-
ton to the contrary. The authority of
law to incur debt should be vested in the
county officials in such an unmistakable
way as to leave no doubt whatever.
This not being the case with reference
to the proposed jail, we must assume
that there Is no such authority whatever
for such course.
Public opinion may have advanced suf-
ficiently by the time the next tax levy
is made to demand the construction of an
extension of the present building, such as
the G o b e has suggested. We sincere.
ly hope it may. The amplest facilities
would be provided for all possible de-
mands of the city and county depart
ments by the construction of such an OK
tension, and the county would be saved
the cost of a Jail site. Since it is con-
ceded that such an extension viii be a
requirement Of the not remote future, It
must be regarded as of doubtful expedi-
eney to sink money in a separate build
ing at the present time.
Whatever may be the ultimate outcome
of the delay which must now result IN
the construction of new county jail.
the general sentiment of the community
will remain averse to having any
steps taken to secure the issuance IF
bonds for that purpose, as lung as the
law is not specific and unques tionable il
granting the required authority.

that If ever universal peace was secured,
it would be through the fundamentally
of trades unionism.
The two American delegates dilated on
the prosperity Of trades unionism in the
United States the necessity of better Or
