NIGHT CREWS LAID OFF.
Steel Plants at Joliet May Close un-
 til After Election.

JOLIET, H., Oct. l9.-The night turns at the Scott street and Enterprise plants of the American Steel and Wire company in this city were closed down for an indefinite period last night. Six hundred men were thrown out of em- ployment. No reason for the closing of the night turns was given except that the company has not enough rods on hand 10 keep both the day and night shifts at work. The Illinois Steel com pany closed it's three rod mills in this city over a week ago, and at that time announced that the American Steel and Wire company would take no more rods until after election. It is rumored that the day men will also be laid of within the next two weeks and that the mills will remain closed until after election.

ARIZONA CENSUS RETURNS.
Phoenix Is Given a Hard Lick Below
 the Belt.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l9 The census figures for Arizona were given out to. day, and while the increase for the ter ritory is notably large, the showing for some of the cities is surprisingly small This is particularly true of Phoenix and is accounted for by the fact that Phoenix is situated in that portion of the territory from which there is the greatest rush to summer resorts, and as the census was taken in the hottest part of the summer a large part of the resident population was abroad, and therefore not enumerated.
 The population of Arizona is l22, PIP, showing an increase of 52,592, or l04 Q per cent The population of Phoenix is 5,544. The population of the follow ing cities are Chloridetown, 466; Flag staff town, l,27l; Globe town, 1,495; Jerome town, 2,66l; Mesa town, 722; Nogales town, l,76l; Pima town, 52l: Prescott city, 3,559; Solomouville city, 629; Tempe town, S29; Thatcher town, 644; Tombstone city, 646; Tucson city, 7,53l; Winslow town, 1905; Yuma city, l,402.

IHE STRIKE
 HAS ENDED Terminated After Last ing One Month.
Tilt DEMANDS ACCEDED TO
Operators Agreed to Everything. Complete Victory for
 the Men.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l9.-The strike of the anthracite mine workers of Pennsylvania which began on Septem- Der r practically ended today when the Philadelphia x Reading Coal and Iron company and the Lehigh Valley Coal company agreed to abolish the sliding scale in their respective sec tions and to grant an advance in wages of ten per cent net, the advance to re- main in operation until April l, 1901, or thereafter This action meets the demands of the Scranton miners con- vention. The deci: ion was arrived at after conference between the repre- sentatives of individual coal operators and the large coal carrying companies. The conference began yesterday.
 Today's action was the culmination of the recent meeting of individual op- orators at Scranton, following the mine workers convention in the same city. Nearly all the collieries in the coal re- glon had previous to the mine workers convention posted notices of an advance of 10 per cent. The mine workers, in considering this, demanded that the sliding scale in the Lehigh and Schuyl- kill districts be abolished, the increase to be guaranteed to April l, 1901. and all other differences to be submitted to arbitration. The individual opera tors agreed to everything, and the ap- pointment of a committee to induce the Reading and Lehigh companies to abolish the sliding scale and make the wage increase permanent followed. It is conceded that the result of today's conference is a complete victory for the men.

GHILD'S STORY OF PtKiN.
Ruth lngraham, Aged 9, Prayed for
 Help, and Also Made SdndbagS.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. l2.--Ruth Ingraham aged g, who wilh her baby sister Mari, am passed through the siege of the British legation at Pekin, has arrived here with her parents. While her parents were recounting their experi- ences in Pekin before the board of Foreign Missions last night, Ruth told her story to a private audience. She said:
 "We are very glad to be in America, we never expected to see our country again. For weeks we expected to be killed at any moment, but we all pray ed to be saved and we were. We little girls did more than pray. We made sandbags to stop the bullets.
 "We did not have mach time to play all those fifty-fve days. We were aw- fully crowded. Twenty people ate and forty slept in the one room was in. We got into little compound before the fighting began. Soon after we heard that Capt. McCalla and some American marines had started for our rescue. We waited for them prayer fully, but weeks afterwards we heard that they had been driven back. Still we hoped, but, oh, relief was long time coming.
 "On Aug. Il. we heard the booming of cannon, and we felt that it was the allies. That afternoon troops arrived. How happy we were! The Sikhs, those Indian soldiers of the English, were the first to arrive, About an hour later the Fourteenth United States h. fantry marched in and we all shouted welcome at the Stars and Stripes. There was great enthusiasm then.
 "A few days after that we left in army wagons for Tung Chow, where our mission was before the trouble. There the soldiers got some little boats and in these we all floated to Tiensin.
 Dr. Ingraham, Ruth's father, says that the Chinese, in addition to firing shot and shell into the legation nsed what are known as fire darts, in the hope that they would set the buildings on fire and thus force the foreigners out of their refuge.

NEW RAILWAY LINZ.
The American and Mexican Pacific Railway,

Have let the contract for building their line from Tucson to Calabasas, sixty-five miles, to W. c. Bradbury X Go. of Denver, Colorado. Mr. w. O'Gara will represent Messrs. Brad bury X Co here. Work will begin at once.
 This will be one of the most protita ble dividend paying short lines of rail ways constructed anywhere, as it will draw business from a series of rich mining districts and will aid in devel- oping large number of mines which are at present too low grade to be worked at profit under the high cost of transportation and mining supplies, which will be materially reduced when this line is built.
 The mining district of the Sierritas, which for distance of thirty-tive miles is a perfect network of copper and silver mines, will contribute to this road. Scores of smelling plants will be erected in this district as soon as coke can be obtained at reasonable rate.
 There are myriads of mines of large bodies of concentrating ore which will be utilized and contribute to the pros perity of the road and that mining re- zion.
 Then the Santa Ritas are vast store house of copper, gold and silver, The Helvetia is already producing large quantities of copper and will soon dou- bIe its output. There are score of other copper mines which will begin to operate on @ large scale as soon as this road is constructed to within a reasona- ble distance of their camps, The Twin Buttes, Azurite and San Xavier and others will be contributing traffic to the road before twenty miles is con. structed
 The valley of the Santa Cruz, which will be traversed bY this road, will ere long be a continuous valley of farm houses. There are tens of thousands of acres of the richest alluvial land in this valley waiting to be reclaimed to agri- culture. There is an abundance of un- derflow and overflow, if reservoired, to irrigate every acre of this land, so that there may be a continuous line of vil- lages from Tucson to Nogales. The first division of the American Mexican railway will be most profitable invest ment and will do much to develop the vast resources which will be tributary thereto, as well as add several thousand people to Tucson's already rapidly growing population,

VIENNA, Oct. l9.-~A prominent dip lomat, speaking of the mutual suspi- cion among the allied towers in China, says that both Russia and France would like to see Germany involved in serious hostiliies with China while they themselves remained alloof. Germany is fully conscious of this feeling on their part, and is there fore proceeding with the greatest caution.
 England and the United States, this diplomat further says, hay first to con- sider their vast commercial interests in the Chinese question. The recent ex- change of views between the two gov ernments apparently leaves them agreed to follow prudcntly Cne some. what impulsive lead of Germany. Eng land will certainly not allow Russia to turn the Chinese imbroglio exclusively to her own profit. Particularly since the result of the recent English cleo tions Lord Salisbury's hand is quite strong enough to check Russia when the right moment comes.

TIENTSIN, Oct. l9.-The expedition against Pao-Ting-Fu departed this morning in two columns. The German French and Italian troops who are to loud, head of the French military forces in China, will follow the direct rout to .Paoting-Fu, while 1000 British soldiers under Lord Campbell will make 8 de- tour to the south of the Poating river, through number of large villages sup posed to be Boxer communities. Both columns will be kept in touch with the boat and train which accompanied them.
 A junk, armed with naval twelve pounder and two Maxims, is with the Pekin column.
 The expedition will make demon stration through wide territory not heretofore covered by the allies.
 There are persistent rumors that con siderable opposition will be made to the Pao- ting Fu expedition. If this occurs it is probably that overwhelm- ing forces will arrive from the other provinces.
 Count von Waldersee has issued an official statement to the effect that con ditions are now tolerably satisfactory and that active oOpraGioDS are in- augurated with the Poating-Fu exped- ition. He regards the inactive of the hostile Chinese merely as aruse to cov- CT further offensive operations.

comed here as an indication that Ger many win soon be persuaded to follow the American example and make peace in order to restore commerce and keep the industrial depression from becom- ing still greater. Rather than risk dissension with the dreibund it is ex- pected that Germany will adopt con ciliatory reply.

THE CHINESE
 REBELLION Rebellion Is Spreading With Rdpidity. FOUR DISTINCT AGiTATIONS Rebels Defeat Imperial Troops and Occupy a Large
 City.
FOUR DISTINCT AGITATIONS

LONDON, Oct. l9.--The Shanghai correspondent of the Morning Post, writing Saturday, describes four diS. tinct agitations-in Kwantung, Kwansi Sze and the Yangtze region-all of which are anti-dynastic rather than anti-foreign. "If Sun Vat Sen, the re- former, is successful in the south, ." says the correspondent, land his rebel lion spreads over the Yangtze region, he will probably be aided by Prince Yuan, Tung Fu Hsiang and the Mo hammedan leaders in the northwest.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 19.--From Canton it is reported that the Kwansi rebels have defeated the imperial troops on the borders of Kwantung, and that General Su has resigned in consequence of his request for achievements being ignored.
 Some Chinese soldiers desrcrated the cemetery for foreigners at Nam Shin Tu, near Canton, and the viceroy had the offenders decapitated and dis missed their commander.
 General Liu, the chief of the Black Flags, has left Canton at the head of considerable force. He will traverse the province of Human, try to cross the Yangtze at Qua, and then, traversing the province of Honan, join the em- press at Sian-Fu, capital of the prov ince of Shensi, for the purpose of act ing as her body guard.
 The poogress of the Chinese court toward Sian-Fu, the new capital, has been delayed in consequence of the presence of supposed Mohammedan rebels in the province of Shensi

Thirsty Honolulans at Long Branch
Rudely Disturbed.

Thirsty Honolulans who visited Long
Branch at Waikiki yesterday afternoon
were rudely disturbed by Deputy High
Sheriff Chillingworth and Officer Han
rahan, who suddenly appeared in their
midst and caught them in the act of
lmblbing liquors on Sunday. Chas
Donohue, the proprietor, was as much
surprised as his guests, but submitted
gracefully in the face of so much dam
aging evidence revealed to the eyes of
the members of the police department.
The names of all persons found in
the place where the liquors were serv-
ed We're taken down, the list numbering
fifty in all. All will be required to
present themselves at the police station
this morning, and interesting develop
ments are expected to follow when the
cases come up for trial. The officers
state that quantities of beer, whisky.
wine and other intoxicants were found
on the premises and these will be used

ALL QUIET ON KAUAI.
Labor Difficulties With Japanese at
an Enc.

The labor difficulties with the Japan
csc of the Island of Kauai are over and
all of the Japanese on the various PLAN
tationS have returned to their work
and are seemingly content with things
as they are.
Mkt Saito, the Japanese consul at
Honolulu, went over to Kauai last week
to consult with his countrymen and en-
deavor to set them right on the legal
points involved in the difficulties, but
he found on his arrival that all was
quiet and that there had been no seri-
Gus troubles with the japanese for
some days. He will remain on Kauai
for some days and will visit all of the
plantations where japanese are en-
ployed and talk with the laborers con-
corning their contracts and their oblf-
cations to their employers.
The clause in the contracts of Japan
csc laborers whereby the plantation
managers agree to pay to the emigra-
ton companies the sum of 50 or 81. so
per month out of the wages of each
laborer went out of effect with the in
coming of American law, it is claimed.
and now 1T is reported the plantations
will pay the money to the japanese or
retain it to be paid when the contracts
expire. as the laborer himself chooses.

NECESSITY
OF SESSION
Reasons for Summon
ing Legislature.
OPINION OF W O. SM| TIL
Speedy Action On Several Matters
Urged by Former Attorney
General.

1t has been much debated ques-
ton among the politicians and states
men of the Islands whether or not it is
advisable for Governor Dole to call
special session of the Legislature Just
al this juncture. There are many mat
ters upon which legislative action is
necessary just at the present time, and
which are pointed out as sufficient in
themselves to justify the summoning
of a special session. Among these are
the arbitrament of claims for losses in
the sanitary fires in Honolulu and the
establishment of new fire limits in Chi
natown. These matters, it is said, need
legislative action at once, and to wait
until the next regular session of the
Legislature might mean irrevocable
loss to private parties and to the people
at large.
w. o. Smith, ex-Attorney General of
Hawaii, and one of the most capable
and far-seeing statesmen in the Islands,
was asked yesterday for a statement
of his views on the question.
He said:
For the reasons already discussed
would not the public favor a special ses-
sion of the Legislature, if there was
assurance that the body to be elected
would be wise, and attend to necessary
business and adjourn? Does not the
real objection lie IN the fact of the fear
that unwise and undesirable men will
compose the new Legislature, and they
may do unwise things?
IF this is to be the result of special
election, why will not the same result
follow the regular election to be held
in November, unless conditions are
changed?
IF the native Hawaiians are to fol-
low unsafe leaders and elect dangerous
men may it not be better for the COM
munity of these Islands to know this
before the time for the regular election
which is to hold for two years? And
may it not be better for Congress to
know it?
"It is hard to believe that the natives
will be so foolish as some people seem
to think. But the point is. may it not
be better for the result to be known be-
fore the regular election?
IF the danger to be apprehended is
from the trial which the native Ha-
waiians are to make of a Legislature
wholly Of their own, may it not be bet
ter for the experiment TO be tried with
Legislature to remain in power only
three months than with one to hold
for two years?
I'VE are confronted with a condition
and must face it. l believe in the end
the native Hawaiian vote will prove to
be conservative and comparatively safe
But experiments will be made, and they
might as well be met.
cit is matter of regret that thu,
question as to whether or not special
session is to be held has not been set
tied ere this. 1t has been pending for
six weeks, and at best the time for pre-
pairing for registration and election was
very short
