RIOT NARROWLY AVERTED.
Union Sailors at Tacoma Threaten
Non-Union Men.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 2S.-The attempt
OF the Sailors Union of the Pacific to
forcibly take non-union crew from the
ship Florence at Tacoma Sunday night.
was repeated last night on the American
ship Sintram.
Captain Meyer had signed a mixed
crew at the same wages for a trip to
San Francisco with cargo of coal.
Yesterday afternoon a committee of the
union went aboard the ship and notified
the captain that unless the n-unlon
men were removed they would board the
ship and forcibly take them off. Captain
Meyer proposed to run the ship to suit
himself. He applied to the police. but
the chief refused to let his men so ON
the vessel. Then Deputy United States
Marshal Davis was secured, and went on
gupard. About II o'clock about 100 SAIL
ors and longshoremen. armed with clubs
and missiles, appeared and marched OUT
on the narrow wharf Dawson met
them with a drawn revolver, and
threatened to shoot the Nrst man
who attempted to board the vessel.
There We're some hot heads who advised
rush. but after a violent outburst OF
words, the crowd deemed it best to with
draw. Meantime, force from the sher-
iff's office appeared and remained on
guard all night. A tug towed the ves-
sci to sea early this morning.

JAPAN STILL TROUBLED.

Yokohoma, Nov. 1O.-A speech made
by Mr.. Kato the newly appointed min
lister of foreign affairs indicates that
Japan finds herself involved in the same
difficulty in the diplomatic manouevres
now progressing in China that she un-
derwent in her military operations.
Just ais the supposed necessity for

hampered by having to walt upon the
action OF the allied powers with the i'm
possibility of their coming to an agree
ment.
The Chinese great holiday the third Of
November the natal da of the emperor
was of unusual interest this year as in
dicative of the pleasant relations now
established between the government and
the foreign community fully justifying
the wisdom of treaty revision and maxi
ing the disappearance of the first en-

AGREE ON ARMY
LEGISLATION
PRESIDENT SAID TO HAVE AP-
PROVED A PROPOSED Or
GANIZATION TLAN.

New York. Nov. 2S.-According to
special dispatch from Washington to the
Tribune, virtual agreement upon the
essential feature of the proposed legtsla-
ton Tor the army was reached last night
by war department officials, with the
presidents approval and the congression-
al leaders sanction.
1t provides for permanent standing
army organization with a minimum
strength of $4,000 men, to be increased
as occasion demands by doubling the
size of companies at the discretion of
the president as ander-in- chief and
subject to the limitation of annual ap-
pointments. The new organization will
have sufficient officers, about four thou
sand in excess of those at present in the
regular army to meet the requirements
of the additional companies of military
men. The companies may be increased
to 140 men without additional officers.
Perhaps allowances will be made for 49,
600 artillery men in regimental organi-
ton who are needed to care for coast
defenses. The trainers of the adopted
plan favor men to enlist in the Philip
pines not to exceed $4,000 men, to be or
ganized in regiments with American Of
ficers after the English manner of fight
ing rebellious natives with their own
people. General Macarthur has urged
this step, and gives assurances that he
can easily select experienced officers from
the volunteers in his di ,lson and Will
have no difficulty in getting desirable
enlistment for a native contingent sim
liar to that of tht Maca oee cavalry, now
900 strong. In the new permanent organ
ization, $4,000 strong is confidently be-
iieved to be insured. not doubt being
expressed by war departme officials,
and congressional leaders of the house
and senate are ready to agree promptly
to this military bas.c. AS to the elastic
features involving the ;Iisore tionary
power of the president to increase OF
companies not more than double their
strength there is no doubt. -. .'"&+ ~

Gallagher is suffering from a displaced

of poles. The standards on the sides
of the car gave away after the center

error, pure and simple, was made by his
office. The error came about in carry
ing out footings of assessments made on
the upper works. 1t makes difference
of 500 900. This reduction will place the
valuation of property in county under
eight millions, thus reducing the rank of
the county from fourth to fifth class. The
county commissioners took the assessors S
