AS TO A LABOR CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS.

Political movements aim at the ac-
otherwise they are a mere waste of
effort. Have the members of our local
labor unions stopped to ask themselves
what practical result can be accom-
Dlished by the nomination of a labor
candidate in this district?
The current talk is that the move
ment for a labor candidate has had its
beginning in the belief that Mr.. May
nard. the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress. is not heartily in accord with
the aims of organized labor. Mr.. May.
nard has not defined his position and
the VirEinian- Pilot is not authorized
and does not presume TO speak for
him. save in so far as he is bound by
the creed of his party, TO that extent
it does know. and organized labor
should know. that he is and must be
the friend of the laboring man.
If n labor candidate should be nomi-
mated in this district, what will be the
result? We believe that every labor
ing man who knows anything of poll
tics will agree with us that such cam
didate stands not the smallest chance
of election. 1t is less than two months
now until the choice must be made
Each party has its candidate already
in the field. 1t Is a Presidential year
Everything goes to show that one of
the men. with n regular party organi-
o Eation behind him. will be chosen. The
nominations OF n labor candidate must
be judged by the -laborins man himself
as wise or unwise, accordingly as he
believes that such nomination will help
the Democratic candidate or the Re
publican candidate.
In the last analysis, therefore, 1t Is
a question of whether Hon. Harry L..
Maynard and the Democratic party, or
Hon. Richard A. Wise and the Repub-
lican party. is the better friend of the
laboring man That is the practical
politics Of It, and every man with an
q b knowledge of politics knows or
should know it. Either Wise or May
nard will go to Congress. Any hope
based on calculations that n faction of
the Republicans will join In and help
elect labor candidate is worse than
vain. Soulnern ItepupllCanS never do
that sort OF thing.
Is Wise and the Republican party, or
Maynard and the Democratic party. the
friend of labor and the lahoring man ?
It is not necessary to tell intelligent
men that one Congressman by himself
can neither help nor hurt the Iaborer
Neither Maynard alone, nor Wise alone.
nor a labor candidate, should one be
Eamed and elected, could do one thing
for or against the laboring man. They
could accomplish results only by the
cooperation of the Democratic or the
Republican organization in Congress.
Would Mr.. Maynard, with the CO.
operation of the Democratic organiza-
tion in Congress, or Mr. Wise, with
the cooperation of the Republican
organization. do most for the laboring
man? That is the question that must
not be lost sight of by the laboring
man in making up his mind in this
matter.
The respective attitudes of the Demo
cratic and Republican parties cannot be

sufficient.

The Toxic correspondent says Kwane
Su is $50 miles north of Pekin. So far
as practical affairs are concerned ii
does not seem to matter in the least
where Kwang Su is: he is sure in any
case to be firmly attached to the En-
press Dowager's apron strings.

RUHLlN is BADLY USED UP.
Severe Hemorrhage Results From the
Punishment He Received.


NEW York, Aug. 11.-Gus Rubin,
who was knocked out by Fitzsimmons
last night, is at the home of Billy Mad
den in Brooklyn, recovering from the
punishment of the fight.
For several hours after he received
the knockout blow and had been taken
to Turkish bath house, his condition
was considered so serious that medical
aid was summoned. The defeated man g
friends were so much alarmed that they
believed he was knocked out for good
Rubin had violent hemorrhages in the
nose and was bleeding from the ear
When the doctor reached the patient,
the latter was unconscious and only re.
gained his senses under the influence of
powerful stimulants. A short time after
Rubin fell asleep, but the attending
physician thought it best to remain with
him for several hours.
About d O'Clock this morning Rubin
had sufficiently recovered to be able to
leave the baths and the doctor accompa'
MED him to Madden's home.
After an examination the physician
declared that there were no internal in
juries.
The blow which Rubin received in
his head when he struck the stage at the
knockout, together with the blow in the
solar plexus and the punishment he had
received about the body was, the doctor
declared, responsible for his condition.
Fitzsimmons, meanwhile, was resting
quietly at the Hotel Bartholdi and while
Rubin was suffering from his blows,
the victor was ordering seltzer lem

CHAFFEE REPORTS THE
AMERICAN LOSSES IN
BATTLEOF YANG TSUN
They Numbered so, While
Many Were Frustrated
From the Heat.
NEXT MOVE is UNKNOWN

Allied Commanders Will Probably
Hold a Council of War to Decide on
Their Future Action-Another Mes
sage From Conger-Tt Says the Lega-
tions Can Hold Out indefinitely.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-THE follow
ing cablegram has been received at the
navy department from Admiral Remey,
dated Che Foo;
"Chaffee telegraphs from front:
IS Yang Tsun was occupied Aug 6;
casualties about go in my command.
Two marines wounded. Many pros
trated by heat and fatigue; next move
yet unknown
General commanding British at
front telegraphs:
Marched from Pie Tsang 8 miles
toward Yang Tsun on the right, Rus
slams on the left; after rapid advance
of miles under hot rife and she'll fire
our troops carried the first line Of de-
Tense. Casualties about 80 killed or
death from sunstroke.
The cablegram of Admiral Remey,
transmitting the report of General Chat
fee as to the battle of Yang Tsun, to-
gether with the report Of General Gas
lee, the English commander at the
front, contains few details not already
known General Gaselee sreport shows
that the Chinese occupied trenches and
that the foreign forces were compelled
to assault them. Finally, after forming
their line, the allies were obliged to
charge oSer a stretch of territory miles
in extent, directly into the teeth Of the
Chinese rife and shell fire.
Perhaps the most important statement
in the dispatch is the one to the effect
that the next move of the allies is as yet
unknown.
It is known that the commanders of
the allied forces when they arranged for
the advance from Tien Tsin, agreed to
make Yang Tsun the objective. This
statement was contained in General
Chaffee's dispatch outlining the plan of
the advance movement. It is presumed,
therefore, that having carried out sue
cessfully the plan for the movement as
far as Yang Tsun, the commanders of
the allies will have to go into consulta-
ton again to decide on the further
course of the advance from that point to

GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.
Views of Government Officers On the
Latest Developments.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE gravity
of the Chinese situation was in no way
abated by the developments of today.
The state department early posted bull
letin, giving another dispatch from
United States Minister Conger, trans
mitted through Consul McWade at Can
ton. This shows that the situation Is
practically unchanged and that the
minister is maintaining stout heart
in his present ordeal.
A dispatch from Admiral Remey gave
few military details. but nothing
which shed any light on the future mill
tary operations. Acting Secretary Adee
had long conference with Secretary
Root in reference to the latest develop
ments, but the officials maintained much
reserve as to the governments proceed
ure.
For the moment attention is strongly
directed toward the situation at Shang-
hal, where Vice Admiral Seymour has
determined to land British troops. The
influential viceroys of China, including
Ii Hung Chang, have united in a COM
munication to Washington asking that
the United States use Its good offices
with the powers toward seeing that for
eign forces are not landed at Shanghai

sian minister at the Chinese capital,
from Picking. The dispatch was evil

Nan from the hospital at Shan Tung and
was thence telegraphed Aug. 2 by the
local yamen. M. De Giers announces
that the siege of the legations continues,
the besieged still having some provis-
ions left. The Chinese government
proposes to transmit the ministers mes
sages and that they leave Peking. AS
the ministers had not sufficient guaran-
tee, they replied that they must receive
the permission of their governments be-
fore leaving the city.
The message then announces that the
czar' g approval has been given for M.
De Giers to start for Tien Tsin with his
entire staff and the marine guard, on
condition that the existing government
at Peking and the emperor afforded

can be undertaken without danger. At
