THEY MUST CLOSE.
Retail Clerks Force Merchants
to Observe Union Rule.

The Retail Clerks union made a DEM
onstration last night in front of the
stores which have been keeping open
after $50 O'Clock in the evening, the
time at which all the stores had agreed
to close.
The clerks and their friends. number
ing about 100 marched up and down in
front of the stores which have been
keeping open. In a short time A. Sam
uel, at 522 Kansas avenue, closed his
place. and Friedman & Co, who DO
business across the street, also closed
their place. Morris Affron, at SIG Kan
sas avenue, and S. ScrinopsISi at 420
Kansas avenue, refused to close, and
kept open until a late hour.
The members of the Retail Clerks
union say that the stores must close,
and they are backed in their demand by
members of the various unions If the
stores do not close the union will con-
tinue its marching tactics.
Mr. Samuel said this morning that his
store had closed before the clerks had
made much of demonstration, but said
that he thought that they should make
all the stores close If they expected him
to close.
Morris Affron said: ''This is the best
time of the year for the stores to keep
open in the evenings. and I think we
will lose money by not doing So The
hour of $3.50 is too early, and 1 think
that 2. later hour should be chosen He
would not say whether the store would
keep open but said that they would have
a meeting this evening and that some
agreement would probably be made.

A MERE FARCE.
Rochefort's Opinion of England's Re
spect For China.

New York, Oct. ga dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Paris says:
Henri Rochefort, speaking of the Anglo
German alliance, says: 'England's pre-
tended respect for the integrity of China
is q mere farce. Her zeal for the integ
rity of China is about S real as her
respect for the integrity of the Trans
vaa1 republics. This newly found anx-
fety to keep the nations integrity did
aot formerly chara cterize England's pol
icy-why she permitted Germany to dis
member France.
THE open door and integral China.
are mere phrases of diplomatic hypoc-
risy. The real object of the Anglo-Ger-
man alliance IS to prevent Russia from
taking Manchuria. England and Ger
many are also trying to break the
Franco Russian alliance. Should Rus
STA hold Manchuria her rivals, England
and Germany, will wage war against
her. France cannot stand by and see
Russia beaten, for with Russia van
cuished these two powers would turn
their forces against France.
I'VE have now to deal. not with a
triple but with a quadrupIe alliance
England and Germany are both infiu-
enced by the principle of might. They
respect nothing but superior force. The
German emperor has gone back to his
grandmother's leading strings. OF
course he gets some consideration for
his friendship. The socialists make it
difficult for him to get money through
the reiehstag for his ambitious schemes
and England is probably supplying it
in consideration of the new alliance"

LABOR FOR M,KINLEY.
Great Revolt Against Bryan Is in Pro-
gress in New York.

New York Oct. 23.-Encouraging re-
ports Of workmen favorfng the election
or Mckinley and Roosevelt continue to
come in from labor centers. They show
that a great revolt is in progress against
Bryan and the platform of the Demo-
cratic party. Workingmen are rapidly
awakening, according to the reports, to
the TACT that the success of the Republic
can party in the coming election means
q continuance Of good wages and pros
per1ty, while, on the other hand, the sue
cess OF organism at the polls would mean
a panic in all industries.
u II. Cook. delegate of Local Assembly
No. Z2e of the knights of Labor. said to-
day that he had found a. general change
OF opinion in favor Of Mckinley among
the workmen of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Many Of those who voted fer Bryan
IN 1885, he continued, sare outspoxen in
their intention to vote for Mckinley this
year. / think the main reason for this
change in their feelings is due TO the
spirit of patriotism among them. They
are good American citizens and take great
pride in their country. They are neIiev-
ing more strongly every day that Bryan
termined to oppose him. His speeches
here have injured him.
All thoughtful men, 7 think, will vote
for Mckinley, because they are In favor
of sound money. The menace of free sill
Yer makes them afraid of Bryan. I be-
lieye that Mckinley will carry the state
by q large majority and I believe that
the heavy registration is due to the fact
that the Republicans are alert and deter
